When Xia Ling jumped into the river, she relied on her red rope. Before she jumped into the river, she looked at the terrain and took a deep breath.
Her body entered the water. At first, it was heavy, and she sank straight down.
However, the river was rapid, and she did not move. The water rushed forward, but she slowly began to float upwards.
With Hai Hai, she could tell how far she was from the Su family village.
When she reached a place where the people of the Su family village could not see, Xia Ling held her breath for a long time. She came up to catch her breath and swam to the shore.
The location where she went ashore was pretty good. There was a vegetable field nearby.
There was a small shed in the vegetable field. It was obviously built by the people who were looking at the field.
Xia Ling was drenched. The household register and the twenty yuan that were wrapped in a bag were also soaked... ...
The two pieces of hard sweet potato bread had fallen to the ground when she was escaping.
Xia Ling untied her hair and wrung the water.
With a shed to avoid people, the people in the village had probably gone up to the field to harvest crops.
In the middle of the afternoon, there was no one by the river. It was not dark yet. When it was dark, Xia Ling's clothes should be dry. She did not have to worry about catching a cold while wearing wet clothes.
She hung up her household register and asked Hai Hai Hai to help her set a direction.
The people of the Su Family village had to follow the river and rest by the river. Xia Ling had to go on the road. Before it was dark, she had to at least walk to the town and take the city bus.
As long as she reached the city, the people of the Su family village would not be a hindrance to her.
*
When it was almost dark, Xia Ling set off.
The Su Family village was more than ten miles away from the town. Su Ying had never taken a bus before, so she did not know if the bus would leave at this time.
Everything was unknown.
The country road was full of potholes and potholes along the ridge of the fields. It was as if the surrounding lights were dim and the lights of thousands of homes did not belong to her.
Her stomach was rumbling. It had been tossing and turning since noon, but her body had not been full for a long time. There was no oil or water, and she was not resistant to hunger at all.
Who could deliver some food?
For some reason, Xia Ling thought of Han Jin and the bag of bread he gave her.
If only she could endure it and not eat at that time... ...
After bypassing a few familiar villages, Xia Ling began to walk on the main road.
Walking at night, she was most afraid of meeting people.
She vaguely saw a figure at the intersection that she had to pass on the main road. Xia Ling bent down and tiptoed.
Just as she was about to go around, the person in the darkness seemed to have heard her movements.
"Su Ying! Er Ni? Is that you? "
Pushing a Phoenix brand 28 big bar bicycle, Han Jin came out from the intersection a little bit, and Xia Ling saw it clearly.
The boy was wearing a black sports jacket and a pair of sports shoes. His figure was slender and good-looking.
She could see things clearly at night. The Sky was dark, why were his eyes so good How did he know it was her?
"It's me. " Xia Ling walked out of the corn field and walked to Han Jin.
"Get on the bike. I'll send you to the town. " Han Jin got on the bike. He was tall and had long legs. With one foot on the ground, he spoke clearly because he did not want to waste time.
Xia Ling: "Okay. "
At this time, those who rode the bike would first ride steadily, and those behind would follow.
Han Jin was afraid that she would sit empty, so he let the girl sit directly on the bike.
There was a flashlight tied to the front of the bike. The flashlight shone on the road. Xia Ling was holding the bar in the backseat and was very close to Han Jin.
The air was filled with the heat of the harvest season, but Xia Ling could still smell the fragrance of soap from Han Jin's body.
"How did you know to wait for me here? "
The dim trees and bushes by the roadside flew past Xia Ling's eyes.
The further away she was from the Su Family village, the more at ease Xia Ling felt.
