Chapter 443: The Sacrifice Begins with You
The concubine is often arrogant: Miss Poison Doctor, (one more)
Tuk-tuks are motorcycles with the driver in front and a row of two positions in the back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Book Library] []. [774] [buy]. After sitting on it, Meng Li's legs and Lin Yibai's legs gently leaned together, occasionally rubbing against each other.
As soon as they were next to each other, Meng Li tried to move a little to the other side. She really regrets it now, why did she just say that she promised Lin Yibai to go out with her!
After all, the two of them are not too familiar, and the tuk-tuk is so narrow! It made her very uncomfortable.
Lin Yibai didn't feel abnormal at all, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, saying what he had seen and heard along the way. He came from France with a friend and had been in Siem Reap for more than a week. The next route is being discussed, some people want to go to Vietnam, some people want to go to India, but it has not yet been decided.
Meng Li let out an absent-minded "oh" and asked casually: "Have you almost walked around Angkor Wat?" β
Lin Yibai nodded and asked Meng Li, "How many days do you plan to stay?" Going to other cities? β
"I came here on annual leave, so I plan to stay here and not go anywhere else."
The weather in Siem Reap is hot, and the sun is shining down, like a piece of broken gold. The tuk-tuk drove fast and unobstructed, and the wind brushed his cheeks and ears, making people feel refreshed.
Out of the city, gradually drive onto the road. Not long after, into the forest. Meng Li felt the sudden drop in temperature very clearly. The wind blew on his body, no longer carrying the strong heat he had before, but cool, like walking into an air-conditioned room. But it doesn't have the smell of a machine, but it's very fresh and natural. I can't help but feel good.
She laughed, with a little surprise, and said to Lin Yibai, "Don't you feel cool all of a sudden?" β
Lin Yibai saw that her expression was like that of a child who saw a novel toy, and couldn't help laughing: "Enter the forest, it's like this." β
Meng Li grew up in the city since he was a child, and he hasn't been to many places. When have I seen such a tree, and one of them is taller and thicker than the other, with connected crowns and intertwined roots. You can't even see it with your eyes.
Not long after, the tuk-tuk crossed a bridge. The balustrades on both sides are a combination of huge rock carvings. One after the other, the statues of the gods hugged a huge stone pillar together.
The driver turned around and asked them if they wanted to get out of the car and take pictures.
Meng Li said yes excitedly, got out of the car in a hurry, and raised the camera to take pictures. Lin Yibai came over and told her. These stone statues are the story of the sea of milk. This is a myth and legend, probably about the story of the gods and demons stirring the milk sea together to obtain the elixir of life from the sea, and later triggered the war between the gods and demons. Almost every temple ruin has a carving or portrait of this story.
Meng Li curiously touched those mottled stones, and suddenly said to Lin Yibai, "How can you call Ruhai such a strange name?" She couldn't help but flash in her mind the turbulent picture of Wu Datou before it was cut.
Lin Yibai sneered, as if he had seen through Meng Li's thoughts, and said, "Can you be pure?" After speaking, he took out a bottle of mosquito repellent water from his own backpack, and then grabbed Meng Li with one hand: "You are so white and tender, you have to feed the mosquitoes as soon as you enter." "From top to bottom, I sprayed her all over the place.
Lin Yibai grabbed Meng Li's wrist and quickly let go. The moment the dragonfly clicked on the water, it made Meng Li's heart almost stop.
I haven't been so close to a man other than Gu Rong for many years!
Lin Yibai did this kind of thing very naturally. He has been single for many years, lives alone, cleans and cooks by himself, and does his own laundry. Therefore, he is more careful than ordinary men and can take care of people.
Although embarrassed, Meng Li obediently waited for him to finish spraying himself. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to say that he would spray it for him. Just look to the sidelines and watch him spray a few times on his neck and wrists.
A short walk further is the first ruin, the Bakken Temple. The driver was waiting outside, and she went in with Lin Yibai. Tourists are scattered across the moss-covered ruins. Large chunks of stone fell from the corners of walls, stairs.
The temple has been renovated with wooden stairs for visitors to walk up to the pedestal. Then go up the stone staircase and visit one by one. The sunlight was blocked out by the forest and stone buildings, and gusts of wind came from all sides. Walking to the top, you can see huge statues of Erawan Buddha, each with a strange smile.
Meng Li was in awe and said to Lin Yibai: "Once, how brilliant this place should be!" β
Angkor Wat is dotted with the remains of hundreds of temples. Towering trees rise from the temple's stone foundations, and their huge rhizomes merge with the collapsing walls.
Only the Angkor Temple is the most well-preserved. In front of the temple is a wide moat. Walk through a large grassy courtyard to enter the temple. While sitting in the corridor blowing the wind, Meng Li suddenly saw two monks in orange robes walking through the courtyard.
The sky is blue, the grass is green, the temple is magnificent and silent, and the monks are in the distance. She suddenly felt that she could forget everything and enter another world. In this world, there is only silent beauty.
Lin Yibai, who was sitting next to him, was smiling and shaking a folding fan in his hand. Carefully let the breeze rush towards Meng Li. If the previous meetings were heart-warming favorites, then this time made him feel destined.
He and she are destined to reunite in the wonders of Angkor.
Before setting off in the morning, he asked Meng Li how he could travel here alone. Meng Li only said that he was on vacation and wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't have any friends, so he had to come by himself. But her attitude was vague, as if she didn't want to talk deeply. Lin Yibai guessed that something must have happened to her.
But she didn't want to say, so he didn't ask.
After living for more than 30 years, I should always learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb to reality.
He is a fatalist who believes that there is a hidden but mysterious force in the underworld, arranging and changing fate. The ending is unpredictable, and the process will be memorable.
He believed that there must have been a fate between him and Meng Li. Even if the events of the five days are still unknown, he is willing to accompany him wholeheartedly during these five days.

Coming out of Angkor Temple, the sun is sinking in the west. According to the usual tourist route, most people will go to Bakken Mountain to watch the sunset.
Lin Yibai said to Meng Li: "The mountain must be crowded with people now. Even if we go, we may not be able to squeeze in. Do you want to see it? β
Meng Li didn't care: "Then don't go." What I want to see is the sunset, not the human head, another day. β
Lin Yibai's mobile phone happened to ring. In order to keep his distance, Meng Li deliberately took two steps back and waited for him to call.
It's not too private. His friend said that he would go to the restaurant in the night market for dinner in the evening, and agreed to meet at seven o'clock.
There are three men in Lin Yibai's line. Two Chinese, one French. The Frenchman's nickname is "Sushi" because there is a sushi restaurant on the street where his family lives, and his mother has called him sushi since he was a child. The other is Qian Hua, a French overseas Chinese, who came to France in high school and was a classmate of Sushi.
After graduating from university, Sushi began to travel around the world, at first in Europe, to more than 20 European countries. Later, he was not satisfied with the mountains and rivers of Europe, so he ran all over the world. In Qian Hua's words, "I especially like the old and the young in the poor areas", and has been in Southeast Asia and South America for many years.
Qian Hua recently resigned and learned that the sushi was in Cambodia, so he took Lin Yibai to travel with him.
After Lin Yibai introduced the situation of the two friends to Meng Li, he asked her, "We are going to have dinner together in the evening, will you come too?" In order to seduce Meng Li, he added: "An authentic Cambodian restaurant." After eating, you can also go to the night market for a drink or two. β
Meng Li thought about it, it would be boring to eat alone, so he nodded and said okay.
ββββββ
The driver drove them all the way into the city in a tuk tuk.
The night fell completely. Neon flashes over the night market. The crowd rubbed shoulders and was in a bustle. The night market is dominated by a long street, but probably there are too many tourists, and one street is really not accommodating, and gradually includes several nearby streets.
The storefronts are all restaurants, bars, and craft shops. The signboards made of lanterns are all English names. Most of the craft shops are crocodile products, crocodile leather bags, and bone carvings. Even if you pass by outside the store, you can smell a strong fishy smell.
Most of the restaurants are called Khmer kitchensββγ
It was dark, there were many people, and they were crowded one after another, Lin Yibai was worried that Meng Li was lost, and kept looking back at her. Later, he simply took Meng Li's hand and led her through the crowd.
In an instant, half of Meng Li's hands were numb. A heart is held in the air, and I dare not let it go. She looked at Lin Yibai, who was walking in front of her, as if nothing had happened, and felt like an unreal dream.
It seems that at some point, she will wake up beside Gu Rong. Back to life day in and day out, nothing happened.
Now, however, there was the shimmering red light of the bar, a woman in a suspender, and a man looking around like a hunt. Chaotic and noisy night market.
Such a time and place can best stimulate the secretion of adrenaline.
The hotel is in a small alley. After Lin Yibai walked in with Meng Li, he let go of her hand. The hot and humid air wrapped her hand again, and for a moment, she missed the feeling of being held by Lin Yibai just now.
As soon as the thought turned, I suddenly felt ridiculous.
Just as her heart was fluctuating, Lin Yibai suddenly said, "It's here." β
Although the location is remote, there are many people. The table in the middle beckoned to Lin Yibai from afar.
As soon as he appeared with Meng Li, Qian Hua and Sushi were suddenly like exploding the pot.
Qian Hua immediately got up, with a smile on his face, as familiar as if he had known Meng Li in his previous life: "Beauty, sit down, sit down." He slapped Lin Yibai with his elbow again: "I said that you didn't act with us today, it turned out to be ......" The tone was extremely ambiguous. Lin Yibai smiled and patted him on the back.
While the two of them were talking, Sushi hurried to Meng Li's side and said in English, "Where are you going tomorrow?" I know the whole Angkor well, and we'll be your guide......"
Before he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Qian Hua: "Isn't your kid having a visa expired, and you're going to Thailand to hide for a while tomorrow?" β
When Lin Yibai heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
Qian Hua pointed to the sushi and said: "I didn't even know that his visa expired, but when I looked at it today, I realized that tomorrow is the deadline!" You have to go to Thailand and re-enter the country after renewing your visa in Thailand. We just said that we will take the bus to Bangkok tomorrow morning. β
When Meng Li heard this, he immediately looked up at Lin Yibai. My heart suddenly went up and down, and I was uneasy.
