The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 604 The Road Back ([-])

"Is anyone there? Is there anyone here?"

"Is anyone here? We are travelers passing by. Could you please open a door at your home?"

In the dim twilight, two men were standing outside the gate of a small three-story building and shouting loudly.

While shouting loudly, they slammed on the wooden door of this family.

The other people who got off the train and walked here were following closely behind these two people, looking longingly at the family in front of them.

Now the surrounding sky is already dark, and this area is very remote. There are no villages in front of the surrounding environment, and no shops in the back. If they can't find a place to stay, they may have to spend the night in the fields up.

Fortunately, after the two grown men knocked on the door for a while, the family finally opened the door.

After the door opened, an old woman with silver hair slowly poked her head out from behind the door, looking at the large group of people in front of her.

Seeing that the person who opened the door was an old lady, the two men who had just knocked on the door immediately greeted each other, "Hi old lady!"

At this time, without waiting for the old woman to reply, a middle-aged woman standing behind the two men took a few steps forward and in a few words poured out the stories of her group of people like beans. The other party listens.

"...You don't know! If our group of passengers caught up with today's train, it would be really bad luck for eight lifetimes!
Fortunately, the car stopped on its own in the end, and those of us managed to save our lives. "

But look, it’s getting dark now. There are not only old people but also young ones in our group. We’ve all been walking along the way. We’re already hungry and tired now...

Do you think you can be kind to your old man? If your home is spacious, can you allow us to spend the night at your place?
I'm here to thank you for everyone behind me! "

After the middle-aged woman made a phone call, she immediately clasped her hands together, as if she was about to bow down in front of the old woman.

Seeing this situation, those who brought their children in the team also hurriedly brought their own children to kneel down and salute the old lady.

After all, they were all strangers. They asked to spend the night in other people's homes, and it was understandable for others not to agree.

Everyone only hoped that the other party could see that there were old people and children in the team, and let them enter the house to drink saliva and have a place to rest.

In the crowd, Lin Shu, who was still observing the three-story building in front of her, was unexpectedly grabbed by her mother beside her right wrist. The latter was holding her wrist, trying to hold her and give it to the person in front of her. The old lady kowtowed.

But before she could bend her knees, the old woman at the front had already opened the half-closed door with a "squeak".

I saw this old woman with a slightly hunched back. As she opened the door, she quickly waved her hands to ask those who were kneeling in front of her to get up quickly.

"Get up, get up! You just want to rest here with me, why are you kneeling!"

"Come in, let's talk in the house. It's dark outside, and it's cold at night..."

Hearing the old woman's warm greeting, everyone breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it.

Because they knew that they finally didn't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.

As the old woman fully opened the door, the bright lights in the room shone on the faces of everyone outside.

Almost everyone who passed by the old woman and entered the house subconsciously saluted and thanked her.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Old lady, you are such a good man! You will live a long life!"

When it was Mama Lin's turn to lead Lin Shu past the old woman, Lin Shu, who was a "well-behaved little friend", bowed her head and saluted the old woman in front of her without her mother telling her.

When she bent down while bowing, her big eyes could easily see the pair of black embroidered shoes on the old lady's feet.

This pair of embroidered shoes looks old, and the embroidery on them is still clear and delicate, but the fabric has been washed to a slightly whitish level.

When Lin Shu raised her head thoughtfully, Mama Lin beside her had already dragged her towards the inside of the house, because behind them there were other people waiting in line to enter the house.

After entering the house, Lin Shu found that the three-story building looked like it had painted walls, but the beams and stairs inside were actually wooden structures.Looking at the central hall, the Eight Immortals table and various wooden stools and furniture in the house, it is obvious that this house has been built for a long time.

At this time, other people who had entered the house earlier were also looking at the furnishings in this house, so Lin Shu's looking around did not attract the attention of others.

After Lin Shu went around a main hall on the first floor, she saw a small side hall, which looked like a place to eat.

Coming out of the side hall, there is a wooden staircase on the right that leads directly to the residence on the second floor.

Lin Shu cheered up and listened carefully to the movement upstairs, but she didn't hear any unusual sounds.

No one seemed to live upstairs.

Could it be that the old lady just lived alone in this three-story house?

Thinking of this, Lin Shu subconsciously looked back at the entrance of the door where she came in.

I saw a tall middle-aged man standing beside the old woman, and he was closing the door of the house for the latter.

Lin Shu turned her eyes away from the two, and casually glanced at the other people standing scattered in the living room.

However, after scanning it over and over again, she felt that something was not right.

So she scanned the crowd again, and quickly calculated that there were 28 people in total including all the people inside her.

28 people?

Why did she feel that this number was different from the number on the train before?
The number of people who came here seems to have decreased... Could it be that someone sneaked out of the team in the middle of the journey?
Before Lin Shu could figure out the reason behind this incident, Mama Lin who was beside her walked up to her at some point.

The latter reached out and rubbed his child's little head, and asked the latter in a gentle and friendly tone, "Xiao Shu, are you exhausted from following your mother all day?"

"We agreed to go to Yushilin to play, it seems that we can only wait for the next time. Xiaoshu will live here with her mother tonight, okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Shu thought to herself, I am no longer a child, so I naturally know what happened today.

But always listening to the person in front of her talking to herself in the tone of a child's conversation really troubled her.

But troubles are troubles, and she continued to nod "obediently" to express her agreement.

Everyone didn't stand in the living room for a long time. The owner of the house—the old lady who seemed to be very old, immediately tried to arrange a place for everyone to sit and rest.

After that, with the active help of several strong women in the team, the old woman led them to bring out several large pots of hot food from the kitchen, and even brought tableware such as bowls and chopsticks.

As soon as the meals were put on the table, the aroma of the food instantly permeated the entire space on the first floor.

Lin Shu, who also smelled the aroma of food, was led by her mother to walk towards the table full of food.
