The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 543 Where to send it

It will be bright.From the pitch-black chaos on both sides of the river, there are gradually some blurred outlines of trees and houses, which are gray.

The city is densely populated, and there is a section of the river that rarely freezes in the coldest season.

Apart from the rumbling bells of the cathedral in the distance to the east, the only thing that cuts through the morning light is the sound of splashing water as the planks advance across the water.

The road was bumpy and windy.After floating for more than four hours, I meandered from under the stone bridge in the countryside to the river in the city.

Chen Xing struggled to swim towards the shallow river beach while holding on to the board.I was soaked in the river water from the neck down, and my hair was full of icicles.The brain is almost shutting down, and it is all supported by willpower.

Lin Mi knelt on the wooden board, most of his clothes were soaked through, and his hands were frozen red pulling the rope, encouraging him from time to time:

"Brother Chen, don't fall asleep—"

"When you land on the shore, go to Chris's house to drink hot water and eat bread—"

Thinking of the pure blue eyes of the foreign girl, Chen Xing's almost numb body felt the slightest warmth.

He tried his best, using both hands and feet, and finally pushed the wooden board to the stone steps by the water:
"Here we go!"

"Brother Chen, I'll pull you up!"

Lin Mi stood up unsteadily from the plank, grabbed Chen Xing's arm, and climbed up the cold and hard stone steps together.

However, the clothes and pants that freeze after eating water seem to weigh a thousand catties.The two were sweating from exhaustion, their clothes and pants were wiped to rags, and they finally left the river.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Chen Xing "thumped" and fell onto a layer of snow that had just fallen on the shore.Finally survived.

Stretching out his bloody hand, looking up at the sky with gray clouds, he laughed.

Lin Mi hugged his knees and sat beside him, crying with emotion.

"Hey, don't cry. It's good that we can safely enter the heavily guarded city from the secret passage of the river."

The optimism didn't last long, and Chen Xing gave up.He obviously felt strong, but couldn't stand up.

His smile was suddenly replaced by a sad cloud - if his legs were really frozen, wouldn't it be a waste of help to help Qilan?Don't let Chris see this embarrassment!
Remorse and guilt came together, and Lin Mi's cries became louder and louder.

Just as one of them was crying and the other was sad, there were two running figures on the bank, one short and one tall, getting closer.

While running against the cold wind, the little boy turned his head and carefully "bargained":
"Master, my legs are not as long as yours, so I can't run fast."

"Can you only run three laps? Five laps is too much."

Behind him was a slender figure following, with a serious and merciless tone:

"Xiao Hai, if you say five laps, you must finish five laps. I will practice with you!"

The little boy's face suddenly became aggrieved like a little bitter gourd, he bit his bullet and continued to run forward.

While running, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and shouted to the people behind:
"Master, there seems to be a girl crying!"

"Where is the girl crying before dawn? Want to be lazy again?"

Lin Yitang was upset about accepting a "lazy apprentice" and didn't hear the cry.

The small body blatantly deviated from the usual training route under his nose and rushed along the river beach.As nimble as a monkey, he jumped onto the stone steps on the bank in the blink of an eye.

Angrily, he picked up a branch on the road, chased it and shouted:

"Stop, Xiao Hai! Don't blame the master for beating you if you don't obey me!"

Getting closer and closer.

At a glance, there was a young man lying on his back beside the stone steps, who seemed to have fallen asleep.Xiao Hai and a girl were struggling to help him up.

Before seeing clearly what the person lying on the ground looked like, the girl hurriedly raised her head when she heard footsteps, was slightly startled, and immediately shouted in a trembling and slightly hoarse voice:
"cousin!"

Lin Yitang was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward in disbelief.An indescribable emotion surged in his chest.The moment their eyes met, he recognized his cousin with wet and torn clothes and disheveled hair.

"Mimi, didn't you stay in the village with your uncle? Why did it happen?"

"The gates of the city have not been opened these days. I was worried that something would happen to Qilan, so I came in quietly with Brother Chen through the waterway."

"I was talking to Xiao Lan yesterday, he seemed to be going to find Ah Yan"

Zhengchou couldn't find the right words to say, but the disciple's shout turned his attention away:

"Master, our strength is too weak, can you help me?"

Xiao Hai looked at him begging for help.After all, the little guy is not yet ten years old, his strength is too weak, his face is blushing, and he can't carry an adult on his back.

"I want you to train your physical strength well, and try to be lazy every time." Yitang said harshly, stretched out his hands, lifted Chen Xing, who couldn't get up on the ground, and bent down to support him on his back.

"Why is my cousin so violent about children?"

Lin Mi picked up the big and small bags that were soaked in water, and chased after them.

The little guy walked up the shiny black stone steps next to each other, and said excitedly: "Master is actually very kind. Last time he saved a dog from the river, and this time he saved a person!"

"I'm not good at reading and writing at such a young age, and meddling in adults' business, see if I don't beat you—" Yitang raised a branch, half-threatening him.

"You, knife mouth, tofu heart!" Xiao Hai snatched the branch with a smile and threw it into the river.

They walked slowly out into the street, and it was daylight.

Not far away is the printing factory.Hearing the rumbling sound of the machine, the whole class was a little anxious: "There will be a meeting in the factory at eight o'clock, and Jianhua will also come to see me. Where are we sending people now?"

It is not allowed to leave the dormitory, and there will be a special inspection every day.The room was so small that it was difficult to turn around, it was terribly cold, and there were no windows.

The downtown area is full of traffic.Lin Mi guided the way from memory, "Brother Chen and I agreed to go to Chris's house. Go straight to Dengshikou, and turn after two streets."

Before, Lin Yitang couldn't tell the east, west, north and south in such a square piece of land in Tianjin Railway Station, and he couldn't find it in the place where alleys and alleys intersect.

Thanks to Xiaohai who has been selling newspapers in the streets.The little boy volunteered to take them a shortcut, saving a lot of trouble.

Lin Yitang hurried away after delivering the person, and Xiaohai went to get the newspaper.Lin Mi supported Chen Xing and sat down at the door, listening to the sound of the wind.

Chris got off work from the dance hall, and sent the rickshaw to the alley as usual.

She was carrying a small pearl bag, humming a song and walking happily on the snow-covered mud floor, her flowing golden hair fluttering in the wind.

The crisp high-heeled shoes stopped suddenly.

Yang Niu looked at the two familiar figures by the door, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief: Lin Mi was standing, and Chen Xing was sitting leaning against the stone pier by the door.

"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?"

She threw the things in her hand to the ground, hurried forward, and put her palm on his forehead:
"Thank goodness, no fever, but need to rest well."
