One big and one small are practicing love

In the early morning of autumn, the sky is still dark, the air is slightly cool, and the cold wind blows from time to time.

The big poplar tree at the school gate rustled, accompanied by several sharp car horns, and a few leaves fell leisurely in the wind.

Liu Xiaochen stared at the fallen leaves on the ground, thinking that these leaves fell on the cement floor and could not return to their roots. They could only be mixed in the garbage and rot in vain. Somewhat sad.

"Excuse me, are you classmate Liu Xiaochen?"

Suddenly hearing someone talking behind him, Liu Xiaochen trembled in fright and turned around sharply. She saw a middle-aged man who looked at her and smiled. He wears a black suit, a white shirt, a crew cut, and a kind face.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaochen nodded, "I am Liu Xiaochen, who are you?"

"My surname is Zhao. Just call me Master Zhao. I'll pick you up." He pointed to a black car five meters away and said, "Please get in the car with me."

Liu Xiaochen followed Master Zhao and saw the license plate number, which was on the phone last night.

He took the initiative to open the back seat door. After Liu Xiaochen thanked him, he bent down, carefully raised his legs and got in, sitting upright.

As soon as the car door closed, the sound of traffic was immediately inaudible, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.

The car started smoothly and Liu Xiaochen turned to look out the window.

Although it is not the morning rush hour at this time, many people are already on the road. There are long queues at bus stops, pedestrians are rushing on the road, and cars are speeding.

Looking at it, I suddenly remembered how embarrassed I was when I first came to Beijing.

One person carries a lot of things, suitcases, duffel bags, school bags, and satchels. In order to save on express delivery fees, a lot of things were stuffed into each bag, and one person was carrying four or five heavy bags.

There are many people, crowded, many cars, and long lines. Liu Xiaochen carried so many things at the same time, walked up long and deep stairs, squeezed into subways and buses covered in sweat, and when he got on the bus, he was scolded by the passengers behind him for his slow movements...

At that time, Liu Xiaochen never imagined that he could drive in Beijing in this way. Not crowded, quiet, comfortable and calm. Does Teacher Wang walk through Beijing like this every day?

Teacher Wang never told her family background, and she lived a simple and casual life when she was teaching in the village. But Liu Xiaochen knew that people like Teacher Wang were by no means ordinary people. She said in her letter that she was very busy at work and sometimes very tired, but she never said what kind of work she did.

Liu Xiaochen sometimes fantasizes, and sometimes looks back at the car. The car seemed to have pressed the pause button, and Master Zhao kept driving silently.

The vibration of the mobile phone turned the static scene in the car into a dynamic one.

It was Liu Xiaochen's cell phone. She took it out of her schoolbag. Seeing that it was Zhang Chengjiu's call, he answered the call and heard a scolding sound coming from the phone.

"Liu Xiaotu, where are you?"

Liu Xiaochen was just thinking wildly, but he didn't notice that the scenery outside the window had changed a long time ago. Only then did he reorganize the scenery he saw, including tall trees, long and narrow roads, acres of crop fields, and very few vehicles on the road.

"I do not know either."

"Have you met Teacher Wang?"

"No, I'm on my way to see Teacher Wang."

"Where are you going to meet Teacher Wang?"

"I do not know."

Zhang Cheng said angrily in a low voice: "Hang up the phone first, let's chat on WeChat."

Zhang Chengjie: Are you so crazy about wanting to see Teacher Wang that you dare to get into a stranger’s car after receiving a call from someone you don’t know?

Liu Xiaochen leaned forward and asked, "Master Zhao, where are we going?"

"Phoenix Mountains."

"Phoenix Mountain?" Liu Xiaochen was surprised and asked again, "Does Teacher Wang live there?"

"Sorry, I'm only responsible for picking up people. I don't know about other issues."

"Didn't you say you would take me to see Teacher Wang?"

"I don't know who the Teacher Wang you are talking about is. I just followed our boss's instructions and picked him up at the school gate."

"Did you pick up the wrong person?"

The car slowed down. Master Zhao drove with one hand and took out a photo from his pocket with the other hand and handed it to Liu Xiaochen behind him, "Is that you in the photo?"

Liu Xiaochen took the photo and looked down.

The person in the photo is indeed me, wearing a dark blue school uniform, sitting by the window in the classroom, with short hair like a boy, looking at the blackboard with his head slightly raised attentively.

It’s just that she has never seen this photo herself, let alone sent it to Teacher Wang. Who took the photo? How did it get into his hands?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaochen's heart began to beat rapidly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Cheng: Oh no! The information doesn't match.

Zhang Chengjie: Give me your WeChat location now, and I’ll take a taxi to find you right away.

Liu Xiaochen hurriedly clicked on WeChat positioning, and his phone prompted that the battery was low.

Last night Liu Xiaochen was just thinking and forgot to charge his phone. After turning on the positioning function, the battery of the mobile phone could not last for ten minutes. Now Liu Xiaochen was even more panicked and asked timidly, "Excuse me, are we almost there?"

Master Zhao lowered his head and glanced at the navigation, "Oh, there are still about ten minutes left."

Liu Xiaochen hugged his schoolbag tightly and took two deep breaths, trying to calm down and think about what to do next.

Prepare for the worst first. If this person is really not sent by Teacher Wang, but has other bad intentions, according to the current situation, there is basically no possibility of escape.

Liu Xiaochen quietly clicked 110 on the screen of his mobile phone, but did not dial it. If you find that something is wrong, you can dial this number as soon as possible.

But if it is really the person sent by Teacher Wang, it would be too rude to make random suspicions, and I don’t know what to ask at the moment. Liu Xiaochen respects Teacher Wang and must not leave a bad impression when they meet again this time.

At this moment, Liu Xiaochen could only wait and watch.

Don't dare to think too much and observe the driving environment carefully.

It was already bright at this moment, the sun was hidden in the gray clouds, and the sunlight was weak.

The car drove into a winding mountain road, with cliffs on the left and cliffs on the right. There was not a building, a car, or a human figure around. Does Teacher Wang really live in such a remote place?

The phone received another low battery reminder, and the red text showed that there was only [-]% battery. Liu Xiaochen held the phone tightly, sweat dripping from his palms. Looking out the car window again, I suddenly saw a half-open iron gate.

Approaching the gate, the speed of the car slowed down, and the car could just pass through the gate and slowly drove in.

The road inside the iron gate is narrow and can only accommodate one car. There were tall and lush trees on both sides of the road, which completely blocked the weak sunlight. The light suddenly dimmed, and Liu Xiaochen suddenly felt an eerie atmosphere.

At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated, and Liu Xiaochen trembled in fright. Looking down, I saw that the phone screen lit up for a moment and then turned black. When I pressed any button again, nothing happened.

"We're here, please get out of the car." Master Zhao opened the car door and made a sign of invitation.

Liu Xiaochen picked up his schoolbag and got out of the car.

Perhaps out of nervousness, perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, Liu Xiaochen's legs felt weak when he stood on the ground. The mountain breeze was blowing, the birds were chirping, and the hot sweat on my body suddenly cooled down.

Calm down and look at a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences in front of you.

The fence is covered with morning glory, red, pink, white and purple morning flowers, blooming gorgeously. The courtyard is also full of various flowers, such as chrysanthemums, roses, lilies, white camellias, etc. There is also a two-story red brick building in the courtyard. Half of the wall is covered with dense ivy, most of which have dark green leaves, some of which are slightly red.

Master Zhao rang the doorbell, and after a while, he heard footsteps.

Liu Xiaochen heard the sound and looked around, and saw a figure through the low fence. The branches and flowers obscured him, but Liu Xiaochen still recognized him and couldn't believe it.
