My old attack is the snake king

Chapter 65 I'm Not Mountain Climbing

Tang Qiuyi rejected the blind date on the grounds that Jiang Chu was very playful and her hobbies were different from ordinary people, so she was not suitable for her.

Chen still didn't know Wen Lan's mood when he heard the news. Anyway, he felt that Jiang Chu didn't lack people to like him, so why did he rush to find someone to say goodbye.

Wen Lan didn't know what she was thinking, she had a dream before, all men of the right age around her got married, and only her son was lonely, lame and poor, she remembered this dream to this day.

Jiang Chu only heard about it later, and was really speechless.

One morning, before Jiang Chu walked out of the house, Li Lin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, ran to stop him. It seemed that he didn't have to go to the market to sell vegetables today.

"Jiang Chu, I heard that you went to Grandpa's house in Qinzhou a few days ago. Did something happen?" After not seeing you for more than half a month, Li Lin spoke a lot more restrained than before, and he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Usually, the two of them would never be so awkward when they met. Jiang Chu also sensed the atmosphere, shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be relaxed, and held a book in his hand, "It's nothing, I went there to play."

"Well, it should be quite fun to see you playing."

Jiang Chu gave a soft "um", and Li Lin stopped talking. In the past, he would always ask Jiang Chu what he was playing, and even without asking, Jiang Chu would tell him what happened to him.

The two fell into a long silence, and the atmosphere became weird.

They became strangers because of a word, and even getting along became strange.

"Ah Chu, why are you still here?" Wen Lan's voice came from the courtyard, she had just woken up and was going to wash up, unfortunately, she saw that Jiang Chu hadn't gone to do odd jobs in the government office yet.

Jiang Chu turned his head, and Li Lin also looked over.Only then did Wen Lan see another person not far from Jiang Chu, Li Lin.

I wondered in my heart that the two of them were so nice that they could only wear a pair of pants, but now they are so far apart.

"Li Lin is here too. It's cold outside, let's go inside and chat." After speaking, seeing the two people outside were unmoved, I didn't know what the two were doing, so I had to leave with the basin in my arms.

Jiang Chu suddenly thought of what happened that day. The two of them had been playing for more than ten years, so they really shouldn't have become strangers just because of a word.But he didn't know how to speak, his face was still calm, and he moved his eyes to other places.

Seeing his indifferent appearance, Li Lin was a little ashamed, and even wanted to leave here immediately, but thinking of the purpose of coming here, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't take what I said a while ago, I will go to the capital in a few days , today I came here to bid you farewell." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head.

"Farewell? Go to the capital?" There was finally a crack in the pretended relaxed appearance, and the eyes shifted to Li Lin, "Why do you go to the capital if you are so good?"

Seeing that his body seemed to be shaking, Jiang Chu stepped forward and pulled him, took him to his room, and listened carefully to what he said these days.

Li Lin said that a relative in his family went back to his hometown a few days ago, and that relative worked as an official in a mansion in the capital. If he went to work there, he would be able to take care of him. Tanzhou is strong in farming and selling vegetables.

Jiang Chu nodded, expressing his agreement, but wasn't Li Lin already engaged a while ago?

"Where is Miss Zhou, aren't you engaged?"

Speaking of Miss Zhou, Li Lin looked sad: "I asked her to wait for me for two years, and she will be back soon. If she doesn't want to wait for me, she can marry someone else, and she doesn't need to take care of me."

"Hey, you..."

Jiang Chu didn't expect that Li Lin came to say goodbye to him today, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

A few days ago, Ms. Zhou and Li Lin were discussing the dowry money when they got married, and they mentioned a number. Li Lin agreed on the surface, but murmured in his heart.When I got home, I asked my family if they had any silver taels, but Uncle Li and Aunt Li had all the silver taels to build a new house for Li Lin, and they couldn’t afford the dowry money. Work in Beijing.

Hearing what Li Lin said, Jiang Chu said: "You and Miss Zhou can discuss and consider the actual situation. After all, the capital is far away, and no one knows what you will encounter there alone."

"My relatives are there, so you don't have to worry about that." When Li Lin said this, his voice was dry, as if he was blaming Jiang Chu for meddling in his own business.

He didn't discuss it with Ms. Zhou. From the beginning to the end, Li Lin would give her whatever she wanted.Besides, Li Lin didn't want to borrow money as a gift money.

"You..." Jiang Chu didn't know how to explain to him for a while, Li Lin must have thought that he looked down on him again.

"That's it. Are you going somewhere? Then I'll go back first." After speaking, Li Lin got up to leave, but Jiang Chu held him back.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "You don't have anything to do today!"

Indeed, Li Lin has been packing his luggage for the capital these days, and the job of going to work in the fields and selling vegetables in the market has been handed over to Uncle Li and Aunt Li.

"No, I've been packing my luggage recently, and my mother always said that I was forgetful, lest I forget to bring something important." Li Lin seemed a little annoyed.

Jiang Chu was silent suddenly, and his heart suddenly felt bitter. Aunt Li and Uncle Li must be reluctant to let their son go to work in such a far place, and they want him to stay at home for a few more days.

When I came to Tanzhou when I was young, I became friends with Li Lin, who was older than me. Li Lin introduced him to the affairs of Tanzhou. treasure.Now that Li Lin is going to the capital to work, it is the first time for Jiang Chu to face a real separation.

"Let's go to the restaurant for a drink." Jiang Chu grabbed Li Lin and took him to the restaurant for a drink. After paying the money, he took out his pocket and gave Li Lin the rest of the money.

"It's a long way to go to the capital. This is the money I've saved for a while. You can take it."

Seeing this, Li Lin didn't want it at first, but Jiang Chu was reluctant, so he stuffed the silver into his hand: "We are best friends, and if good friends want to go to the capital, I should express it."

I have two taels of silver in my hand and five Wen coins.

In this way, the two drank a few jugs of wine in the restaurant and got very drunk.

"Li Lin, take good care of yourself in the capital! I don't know when we will see you again."

Jiang Chu brought another jug ​​of wine and poured it into his mouth.

Li Lin doesn't want to go to Beijing to find a job, and he doesn't want to stay away from the girl he likes, as well as his family and friends, but working in Beijing is better than farming and selling vegetables in Tanzhou.

"It's okay, it's better to work in Beijing than in Tanzhou."

I believe that within a few years, you will be able to earn money and marry Miss Zhou.

"Then I won't see you for a few years." Jiang Chu became silent.

Li Lin poured Jiang Chu another glass of wine, and drank it himself.

"It's okay, Jiang Chu, we are best friends."

Li Lin is not very good at drinking. After taking a few sips, he watched him pour wine into his mouth. He also ordered a few dishes. left.

Fortunately, Wen Lan and Jiang Qiucheng were not encountered along the way.

Jiang Qiucheng didn't count on Jiang Chu when he came to the government office to help, and he wouldn't say anything if he didn't show up for a day.

And Wen Lan thought that her son was going to the government office to help his father.

It just so happened that Jiang Chu slept in the room for a whole day and only woke up at night.

After sleeping all day, he had a splitting headache and couldn't sleep at night. He opened the window and counted the stars outside.

A gust of cold wind blew by, making his head hurt even more, feeling the cold, too lazy to get out of bed to close the window, so he covered his head under the quilt, with a "bang", Jiang Chu poked his head out, and saw the window was closed by the wind.

Everything is just right.

When the cook delivered the meal, Jiang Chu stuffed himself with a mouthful of noodles, and lay down on the bed again, waiting for the night with peace of mind.

Near midnight, there was no one walking around outside the courtyard. Jiang Chu closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and thought about everything that happened in recent days.

Suddenly, slight footsteps came from the room, and at the same time a faint scent of green grass came.

He stopped moving, and in a hurry, he didn't know where to put his hands.

The man stood somewhere in the room without moving. Jiang Chu felt uneasy under his scorching gaze. He began to pull the quilt with his small hands, and then kicked the quilt off the bed with his legs.

Seeing this, the man took the quilt to the bed, covered him with the quilt, and put his hands in the quilt at the same time.

When the cold touch came, Jiang Chu couldn't help curling his fingers.

At the same time, I warned myself in my heart not to open my eyes. If I opened my eyes, that person would be scared away by me.

In this way, after a long time, with his eyes closed, he gradually fell asleep.

After Jiang Chu woke up, it was still night, but that person was no longer in the room.

I got out of bed and took a sip of the water on the table, it was still warm.

When a good friend is gone, he must not let the person he likes always sneak around by his side without seeing the light.Then he made a decision in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Chu dug out the doll he made himself in the cabinet, put it in the bag, took another umbrella, brought some food, and headed towards the mountains and forests in the southwest direction.

It actually snowed lightly that day, and it was the first snow in Tanzhou. He was very lucky, and he could catch up with the first snow wherever he went, but he walked very slowly.

The snowy mountains and forests are even more difficult to climb. He took a step and stumbled, and the new robes he changed today are already dirty, but this pitiful appearance is more in line with his heart.

"Where are you going, son?"

Jingjing appeared, just now she saw Jiang Chu behind the barrier, wondering why the young master came here.

Could it be that he has some problems with his head, likes to challenge the limit, and even chooses to climb the mountain on a snowy day?

Jiang Chu didn't know what Jingjing was thinking, seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, he just felt that victory was in front of him, he smiled, stepped forward, and accidentally fell again.

"...Young master." The young master in front of her fell in front of her. It was a passing accident. Jingjing covered her eyes, then looked around, and after confirming that no one saw it, she helped Jiang Chu up.

"Sister, I'm not climbing a mountain, I'm looking for someone." Jiang Chu took the bag on his back, opened it to have a look, heaved a sigh of relief when he found that it wasn't broken, and smiled, he didn't feel the pain of falling at all.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Bai Qingheng."
