Because of Hu Miaomiao's keen sense of smell, the two of them successfully found a few ginseng plants. Unfortunately, they were not old enough and were far from a century-old ginseng.
In the afternoon, the sky became gloomy and I was afraid it was going to rain.
Therefore, the two of them did not dare to stay in the mountains and hurried into a temple to take shelter from the rain.
I thought that the rain would stop soon, but it lasted for several hours until it became dark.
Ye Jin and Hu Miaomiao had no choice but to spend the night in the temple.
After lighting the fire, the coldness was dispelled, and the two of them didn't feel cold even if they were next to each other.
Suddenly, voices came from outside.
Ye Jin looked wary and quietly took out the dagger in his arms. If the other party was a bad person, he could also defend himself.
Perhaps he saw the light of the fire, and the sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Soon, a man and a woman came in.
They are young and well-dressed. They should come from wealthy families, but they appear here at night for some unknown reason.
After seeing Ye Jin and Hu Miaomiao in the temple, the two paused for a moment. Perhaps they felt that the other party was not a bad person, so they relaxed a little.
"I've met you two, and I wonder if we can warm up over the fire together."
Although the rain stopped, they were all soaked and must have been very cold.
Ye Jin nodded lightly, not interested in them.
They were destined to meet each other, and the strange man and woman shared their names.
It turned out that the man's name was Song Yishu and the woman's name was Lin Waner. They accidentally encountered bandits on their way to seek refuge with relatives. After escaping from death, they were drowned in the heavy rain.
Fortunately, they also found this temple and happened to meet Ye Jin and Hu Miaomiao.
What Song Yishu said was half true and half false. He only said that the two were cousins, but even Hu Miaomiao could see that they should be lovers.
"Wan'er, eat something first. You'll feel cold soon."
Lin Wan'er was holding the dry food, but she looked gloomy and didn't speak, as if she was full of thoughts.
If it had been in the past, Song Yishu would have been heartbroken, but now his mind was affected by Hu Miaomiao, and his eyes kept glancing to the side with a vague look.
If it weren't for her shadow, Song Yishu would have thought that he had encountered a mountain ghost. After all, she was so beautiful, and the Nine Heavens Xuannv was nothing more than that.
In fact, Lin Wan'er is very beautiful, but compared with Hu Miaomiao, she is reduced to a vulgar object.
"If you can't control your eyes anymore, then just gouge them out."
Suddenly, Ye Jin's words caught everyone's attention.
He looked at Song Yishu coldly, even a fool would know who he was talking about.
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly, but before she could speak, Song Yishu pinched her hand.
"Wan'er, I just want to ask them for some snacks."
Song Yishu was secretly angry and felt that Ye Jin was making a fuss out of a molehill. He was just looking at his woman. What was the fuss about?
Lin Wan'er asked: "Really?"
At this time, Hu Miaomiao was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It looked really delicious. It was normal for him to want to ask for some.
Lin Wan'er looked relieved and whispered: "No, I have no appetite."
"How could it be? Weren't you fine this morning?"
"I miss home..."
Hearing what she said, Song Yishu immediately panicked and said comfortingly: "Wan'er, believe me, I will never let you down!"
Lin Wan'er smiled bitterly but didn't say anything. She seemed a little discouraged.
When Song Yishu saw this, he was even more anxious. He wanted to say something more, but when he saw Hu Miaomiao looking at him with curiosity, he suddenly choked.
"Wan'er, let's talk after we go out."
So, the two went out one after another.
Hu Miaomiao looked confused and asked: "Master, what happened to them?"
Ye Jin sneered and threw a piece of dry wood into the fire at any time, "What else can we do? Let's elope."
"elopement?"
Hu Miaomiao was very surprised. She originally thought that elopement was a plot in a storybook, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes.
When I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
"But Miss Lin seems depressed."
"Either I was deceived, or I regretted it. I lied to children. How can elopement be so good?"
Moreover, Lin Wan'er looked like everyone's young lady at first glance. It is human nature to regret no matter where she has endured hardship.
Hu Miaomiao seemed to understand but not understand, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Okay, I'm right next to you, how dare you think about other men?"
Hu Miaomiao quickly denied it, "I didn't think so. You are the one I always think about!"
Ye Jin's lips curled up slightly, pleased by her sincerity, "Tell me, what do you think of me?"
"Ah? What do you think?" Hu Miaomiao was confused by his question. He just thought about it, what else could he think about?
"You are so stupid!"
Ye Jin cursed, feeling helpless at her slowness.
Hu Miaomiao smiled at him and suddenly said: "Young Master, I still think you are handsome, and no one can compare with you."
These words made Ye Jin smile again, "Your little mouth is so sweet, do you want to be kissed by me?"
"No!" Hu Miaomiao was afraid that she was serious and advised: "They will come back, don't let anyone see them."
Ye Jin thought about it and let her go for the time being.
At this moment, the two of them came back from outside, but Lin Wan'er's eyes were red, as if she had cried.
Seeing Hu Miaomiao looking over, Lin Wan'er turned her head, as if she didn't want to be asked.
Song Yishu followed, more attentive than before.
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."
Lin Wan'er was completely exhausted and just wanted to rest for a while.
"Then go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
It was already very late, the four of them went to bed one after another, and the temple was silent.
In a daze, Hu Miaomiao seemed to hear someone crying.
He raised his head and saw Li Waner walking outside. Hu Miaomiao was afraid that something would happen to her, so she quickly followed her.
Under the moonlight, because there was no one around, Lin Wan'er cried even harder.
"Are you...crying?"
Li Waner turned around and saw that the person coming was Hu Miaomiao. She was a little surprised. After wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she pretended to be nonchalant.
However, she had hidden her worries, and she couldn't bear the tears just because she wanted to.
The next moment, she started crying.
"I miss home, I miss my parents, I really want to go home..."
Perhaps it was because Hu Miaomiao's eyes were so clear that Li Waner opened her heart to her easily.
"Brother Yi Shu is my father's disciple, but his family background is not very good. My parents don't agree with us being together."
So, under Song Yishu's temptation, they eloped.
But now, Lin Wan'er regretted it.
After leaving home, she missed her parents every day and felt that she was so unfilial that she would do such a stupid thing.
However, she didn't know how to explain it clearly to Song Yishu.
Hu Miaomiao said: "If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't say it, he won't know what you are thinking."
Li Waner was thoughtful and seemed to be convinced.
"Okay, I'll talk to Brother Yi Shu to make it clear!"
By chance, after discovering that she was not around, Song Yishu came out to look for someone.
"Wan'er, it's windy outside, why did you come out?"
Lin Waner did not answer, but said: "Brother Yi Shu, I have something to tell you."
Song Yishu paused and seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say. A hint of gloom flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it.
"It's so late, is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?"
Li Waner shook her head with a firm attitude.
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Song Yishu quickly looked at Hu Miaomiao and walked away from Li Waner.
