The Heartless Mage Chapter 186: On the road
Su Tao was sitting in the waiting room of Shenyang Railway Station with her neck shrunk, guarding her unintentional backpack. Autumn in the Northeast is coming too fast, and it is cold when you say it is cold. She remembered that she was still wearing a single shirt when she set off from Wenxian, and now she has not been wandering outside for a long time, but the single shirt has been replaced by a thin cotton jacket.
The crowd at the door of the waiting room squeezed into a trot of trotted hearts. Wuxin held two roasted sweet potatoes in both hands. The sweet potatoes were just out of the oven, so hot that he could hardly hold them. Su Tao hurriedly took the backpack on the chair next to her into her arms, and Wuxin sat down firmly, and whispered, "Eat it while it's still hot, these two bake best."
Su Tao took a roasted sweet potato and broke out a mass of fragrant and sweet steam. The red flesh of the sweet potato was almost roasted into a half-melted sugar juice, and it was soft and dripping. She stretched out her tongue and licked it, and her appetite immediately burst into flames: "It's so sweet."
Inadvertently got scalded, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. And Bai Liuli, who was hiding in his arms, stuck out a small head from his neckline, pouting a letter and looking out. When the weather is cold, the little white snake has a tendency to hibernate. Although Bai Liuli is always refreshed, since she is a snake at this moment, she will inevitably be bound by the laws of nature. Seeing that he was getting more and more lazy day by day, he ordered Wuxin to try to save himself immediately. Wuxin had nothing to do, so he had to change his place to live and let him move from his schoolbag to his arms. Tie him to his body with a long strip of cloth, unintentionally using his body temperature to help him spend the winter.
Unintentionally, while others were not paying attention, I dug out a little red flesh from the roasted sweet potato with my fingers, trying to rub it into Bai Liuli's mouth. Bai Liuli immediately ducked down and refused to eat.
Wuxin ignored him, and turned to talk to Su Tao: "Tao Tao, it's too cold, let's take you to a hotel at night!"
Su Tao nibbled at a charred sweet potato skin: "I can endure one more night, let's stay tomorrow night!"
Wanxin looked at her with a wry smile. Since stepping on the train to the north, as if it was out of a girl's nature, Su Tao immediately learned to plan carefully. The two of them are obviously sitting on the mountain, relying on a little savings in their hands to survive, so Su Tao can sleep at the train station but not in a hotel, and eat roasted sweet potatoes when he can get full, but not eat serious meals. She tortured herself without a teacher, but she was very happy mentally, because her body and mind were free.
With the various certificates Chen Daguang gave them, they temporarily possessed a fair and legitimate identity. They quietly drifted away from the tide of the times, avoiding the iron fist of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Su Tao wiped the black ashes from the corner of her mouth with a wet handkerchief, feeling a little desolate in her heart. If there is a home, who wants to be on the road?
Handing the handkerchief to Wuxin, she asked Wuxin to wipe her hands and mouth, then got up and walked to the public faucet in the corner of the waiting room, and rubbed the handkerchief under the running water.
I spent another night in the waiting room, and the next morning, Wuxin took Su Tao to a hotel no matter what.
The two ate hot noodle soup at a small restaurant outside the train station and went shopping together. Walking through the cold and bleak Hongqi Square, they saw a giant statue of Chairman Mao under construction. They came at just the right time. The big battle in Shenyang City has just come to an end, and the life of the citizens is gradually returning to normal. If they arrive a month or two early, just in time for the fight, the city is running out of food, not to mention the hot noodle soup, they might not even be able to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
Su Tao has traveled to several cities, which is an eye-opener. Standing under the high scaffolding and watching the excitement for a while, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed: "Wuxin, look, the owl is here again!"
Wuxin raised his head and smiled, and while laughing, he wrapped his arms around his chest and restrained Bai Liuli, who was close to his body. The big owl was circling in the air, like a shadow, stalking away from them. As if he knew that he was unlovable, the big owl was very self-conscious, and only appeared occasionally along the way, and never leaned towards them arrogantly.
Su Tao put her hands to her mouth and breathed a warm breath: "Wuxin, does the owl know us and want to go with us?"
Wuxin put his hands in his pockets: "We can't take such a big owl! Let him fly by himself, he's comfortable, and we'll save trouble."
Su Tao agreed, and followed Wuxin for a while. Finally, near a public bath, Wuxin took Su Tao into a half-sized hotel. After entering the door, I saw the waiter, and Wuxin said, "The countryside surrounds the city and seizes power with arms. Comrade, I want a room."
The waiter yawned: "Imperialism is a paper tiger. Take a letter of introduction!"
Wuxin immediately pulled out the letter of introduction that Chen Daguang had opened to him, and obediently delivered it to the small table in front of the waiter: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Look!"
The waiter didn't know how sleepy she was. She yawned one after another. After reading the letter of introduction, she opened her mouth to Wuxin and revealed her tonsils: "Without a correct point of view, it means no soul. What about the marriage certificate?"
Inadvertently put away the letter of introduction and took out the marriage certificate: "We will fight for as long as the US imperialists want. Here's to you."
The waiter checked the marriage certificate and took out a large book with half-closed eyes: "Don't fight an unprepared battle. You two sign and register."
After registration, Wuxin and Su Tao got a small room. The inside of the room is quite bright, with a small single bed placed on the left and right against the wall. The heating pipe under the window was already quite hot, and Su Tao happily took off his thin cotton jacket, revealing a red sweater inside. The sweater was bought in Benxi half a month ago. Although the warp and weft were sparsely woven, there was no ticket and the price was cheap. Taking off her shoes and sitting on the edge of the bed, she stretched out her feet to turn on the heater, then turned back and smiled at Wuxin: "My feet are getting cold."
Wuxin also took off his padded jacket, which contained a yellowed shirt. Lifting up his shirt and undoing the close-fitting cloth strip, he put Bai Liuli on the bed. I don't know how long the sun shines on the sheets, making the sheets warm. Bai Liuli curled up comfortably, as if infected by the waiter, and also opened her mouth and yawned.
Wanxin stretched out and lay on the bed, and stretched heartily: "Tao Tao, I'll take you out to take a bath in a while. After the bath, let's buy a pair of cotton shoes."
Su Tao leaned back on the heater and lay down: "I'm going to spend money again."
Wuxin curled up his legs and shared the sunshine with Bai Liuli: "Little miser, if you leave it to me, I think you will even save food and drink."
Su Tao rested her arms on her pillow, a little shy: "I can't bear it."
Then she turned her face to look at Wuxin on the opposite bed: "Bai Niang hasn't eaten for more than a week. Shall we go buy her a small piece of meat this afternoon?"
Inadvertently nodded and agreed: "Okay, when it's cold, Bai Niangzi doesn't have the strength to go out for wild food." Immediately, he sat up straight with a carp, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to fiddle with Bai Liuli: "Lady, lady, what's wrong with your Xu Xian? Still not showing up? It’s good for you to ask him to give me a few pounds of meat tickets, how can I buy meat for you without meat tickets?”
Bai Liuli didn't move, she decided to bear it for now and find a brick to shoot him at night.
Wuxin had a stomach full of hot noodle soup, and was in high spirits. Bai Liuli bent down the corner of her mouth and cursed in her heart, "Too cheap!"
After the unintentionally happy cheating, he turned to Su Tao and imagined the future. The next stop has been set in Changchun, and I have no intention of going to Changbai Mountain to play while the weather is still warm. Su Tao immediately raised her hands and feet in approval, a big hole was broken in her sock, revealing her entire heel.
The two of them lay down on their backs and stretched out their bones, and the hot noodle soup in their stomachs was almost digested, so they got out of bed and put on shoes in unison. Inadvertently used a small plastic bag to pack the towel soap, Su Tao also pulled out a clean underwear. He took Su Tao all the way to the door of the public bath outside the hotel, and Wuxin started to walk around the bath until Su Tao came out refreshed.
There is only one towel soap, so after Su Tao has washed it, she can only wash it if she has no intention. Wuxin saw that Su Tao's hair and face were steaming hot, so she hurriedly took her back to the hotel-blind flow is not qualified to get sick, so Su Tao must not catch a cold.
Send Su Tao back to the room to settle down, and then she went to the bath with a small plastic bag inadvertently. While Su Tao was drying her hair, she sorted out her unintentional rucksack. Suddenly she heard a low knock on the door, she thought she had come back unintentionally. Getting up and walking to open the latch, she opened the door and looked out, but there was nothing in front of her. Just as she was looking around suspiciously, something screeched past her calf. She looked down and was startled, it turned out that the big owl had squeezed into the room through her legs!
She subconsciously picked up the bald broom standing beside the door. Although she knew that this big owl was a kind animal, she was still faintly apprehensive when she saw his sharp beak and claws. The big owl stood on the ground, and suddenly turned its head back 180 degrees. Su Tao saw it clearly, and found that he was actually holding a small fish drenched in water.
After showing Su Tao its prey, the big owl fluttered onto the bed and began to feed Bai Liuli the fish. Bai Liuli swallowed the small fish with one mouth, and the owl flapped its wings and landed on the windowsill.
Su Tao had no choice but to put down the broom and wait for Wuxin to come back to make up her mind, but Wuxin waited for a long time. After more than two hours, Wuxin entered the door with a cold air, holding a piece of pork belly the size of a palm in his hand.
"I can't do it without a meat ticket." He said as he entered the door: "I'll kneel down to the meat seller for so much meat—"
Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the owl, and immediately gave a "yo" in surprise. Su Tao hurriedly told him: "The owl brought a fish to Bai Niangzi to eat."
Inadvertently carried the meat to the window, raised his hand and patted the owl's head: "Good boy, thank you."
The owl didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that if it called, it would blow the wind in the house.
Wuxin begged bitterly at the butcher's shop, and finally bought a little pork at a high price. There is no reason to waste it. Let Su Tao go to bed by himself, he puts Bai Liuli on his lap, and bites the pork into small pieces and feeds it to him. Bai Liuli was eating pork and didn't look at the owl. He has never been interested in goblins, and thinks so much of himself that he has nothing to say with an owl.
With the last piece of pork left in his hand, he unintentionally fed it to the owl, and told him: "I know you are kind, and he doesn't appreciate me. You will come often in the future and bring him some small fish. Shrimp, mice, toads, etc., he is easy to feed, and he can feed him once every ten days and a half a month."
The owl took a small step sideways on the windowsill, and then a wing flew to the edge of the bed. Two piercing black eyes lit up, and he knew that he could openly follow them in the future. Proudly, he stretched out a wing and covered Wuxin's thigh, and without hesitation, he wanted to take Bai Liuli as his own. However, Bai Liuli raised her head impatiently and took a bite at his body. He was so frightened that his feathers suddenly doubled in size. The wings were also raised, revealing Bai Liuli's angry head and a mouth of soft gray feathers.
Wuxin is most afraid of Bai Liuli going crazy. Obediently kicked the owl out, he spent half an hour removing the bird feathers in Bai Liuli's mouth. Su Tao was also helping, and muttered in her mouth: "Bai Niang doesn't like it, you look at its big mouth like a sculpture, how scary."
Wuxin smiled: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, that bird has a good temper, but it's too big."
Su Tao wiped a little dust off Bai Liuli's head with a handkerchief, and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be angry, Wuxin has already driven the owl away."
Inadvertently flicking off a bird feather on his finger: "He has eaten other people's fish, so he's embarrassed to be angry? Taotao, don't wipe it, take advantage of the dawn to go to the street, we haven't bought our cotton shoes yet. !”
Inadvertently took Su Tao out to buy shoes, Bai Liuli was lying on the bed guarding the canvas bag, and finally got a moment of tranquility.
When it got dark, Wuxin and Su Tao came back wearing cotton shoes. After the two washed up, each occupied a small bed. Because they were going to buy a train ticket to Changchun tomorrow, the two of them were very talkative and chatted endlessly. After talking, he turned to the owl again, and Wuxin started to play with the owl with Bai Liuli, insisting that the owl was Xu Xian.
Bai Liuli was originally lying in Wuxin's bed, but when she heard that she couldn't bear it anymore, she quietly swam out of bed to go to Su Tao. Wuxin's body has no fragrance, and his hands and feet are dishonest, and his mouth is full of bullshit, every sentence is irritating. He successfully climbed onto Su Tao's bed, and he dug into the other's bed, still scolding Wuxin in his heart: "This **** is really noisy!"
At noon the next day, Wuxin Su Tao, who had bought a ticket, and Bai Liuli Owl, who had not bought a ticket, found their safe places inside and outside the train. After a long bumpy ride, they got off the train at Changchun Station. Unexpectedly, Changchun is not as peaceful as Wenxian. There are rubble and rubble outside the railway station, and there are still gunshots in the distance.
Wuxin and Su Tao walked out with the crowd. After they got out of the station, they stopped, feeling that the situation was not good. The passenger sitting opposite them in the car was from Baoding. Because Baoding fought too hard and the situation was completely out of control, he was so scared that he fled to the northeast for refuge. Startled for a moment at the scene in front of him, the experienced Baoding man turned his head and pitted, and decided to continue to escape.
Wuxin and Su Tao are not stupid, they bought two train tickets at random, and they also changed directions. The two wandered aimlessly and finally reached Changbai Mountain, but they found a wonderful little village under the mountain.
This village consists of dozens of large and small families and has a large population, but it does not belong to any commune, and it is absolutely impossible to find it on the map. Because it is made up of blind currents fleeing from all over the place. Among them are poor people who can't get enough to eat in their hometown, black and five kinds of puppies, and a group of ghosts and ghosts who have played with pens in glasses. All in all, they are all elements that are not tolerated by the great era. This group of people gathered in the big forest at the foot of Changbai Mountain one after another.
Wuxin did not expect such a group of people to hide in the mountains. After careful consideration for a long time, he said to Su Tao: "The weather is getting colder and colder, let's not leave, let's spend the winter here!"
Su Tao looked at the sky and the ground happily, and agreed.
