wilderness

Cai Zhi will not come again.

Gu Beiqiao closed the shop early the first time.He was walking alone in the alley. On the left was a two-meter-high fence painted with yellow paint, and on the right was a six-story residential building.Families in the residential buildings after work have already turned on the lights, and some couples can be seen sitting and chatting under the lights. In some kitchens, there is the sound of "嗞嗞嗞啦" cooking from time to time, followed by a burst of oily smoke.The more lively the upstairs, the colder and quieter the alley without pedestrians, and a little empty.

Gu Beiqiao walked in such an alley and passed dozens of residential buildings of different sizes. Although he just received a salary that was not a small amount for him at noon today, he still felt a little disappointed.

Cai Zhi's parents have not separated, but he is still an unwanted child. How is he different from himself?His mother doesn't want him either!

He kicked a stone away, and snorted in his heart: Isn't it my mother, I don't care about it!

The idiot didn't go to the store with him today because Peng Yan suddenly had a fever last night.When they woke up in the morning, they found that he was still lying on the sofa in the living room, his face was flushed, and his acne had popped up, so they felt that something was wrong.I measured it with the temperature, and it was almost 39 degrees!

Peng Yan glanced at the scale, groaned and lay back down again, unwilling to go to the hospital, he found a piece of antipyretic medicine in the cabinet and took it, and then took a cold towel and applied it to his forehead.

Gu Beiqiao asked the fool to watch him at home, and went to the store by himself.

As soon as he opened the door, the fool jumped up and hugged him tightly, "Brother Qiao!"

Gu Beiqiao stretched out his head and saw that Peng Yan was no longer in the living room, so he asked, "Where's Brother Peng?"

The fool pointed at the door of the bedroom with one finger, still holding him and refusing to let go.

Gu Beiqiao didn't have the strength to pull his ears today, instead he put his chin on his shoulder abnormally.

The fool was very pleased with his obedience, took out something from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "Brother Qiao! Here you are!"

Gu Beiqiao felt that a small hollow thing was stuffed into the palm of his hand. He pushed the idiot away and took a closer look, only to find that it was a rough carved wooden ring. "What is this?"

The idiot smiled mysteriously, took his hand holding the object, and put the wooden ring on his finger, "Look!" After one set, he found that the wooden ring was a little too big, and the idiot was unwilling to change fingers to try one by one. Only the thumb can catch it in a circle without slipping.

Gu Beiqiao looked at the unpolished ring with sharp edges and corners, and noticed several obvious wounds on the fool's hand. He frowned and said, "Is this what you have been doing secretly these days?"

The fool seemed to be shy, lowered his head and nodded, "I watch TV... that's it!"

Gu Beiqiao was speechless looking at the 'ring' on his thumb, and silently withdrew his hand, "I accept it, thank you."

The fool grinned, "There is more!"

"What else?"

"This!" The idiot took his hand with the ring on it, kissed it, and then secretly raised his head to observe Gu Beiqiao's reaction.

"Fool! What are you looking at?" Gu Beiqiao blushed and said angrily.

"I watched it with Brother Peng!" The fool blinked at him.

Gu Beiqiao waved his hand, "Okay," then he seemed discouraged, "I'm going to pack my things."

He first went to Peng Yan's room to look at Peng Yan, saw that he was fast asleep and the redness on his face had faded a lot, so he went into his bedroom again.

"Brother Qiao...what are you doing with your clothes?" The fool looked at him anxiously.

"I'm leaving." Gu Beiqiao stuffed the clothes into the bag, took out the page torn from the magazine, and read it.The white creases with rough edges are obvious, the pictures are still bright, and the handwriting stays in the blank sky, which is very yearning.Looking up at the bewildered fool, "Will you go with me?" He thought: For the sake of the gift he gave me, if he wants, I can take him with me.

"Go!" The fool quickly agreed.

When they left, Peng Yan hadn't reacted yet. With a towel on his forehead, he leaned against the head of the bed and asked in surprise, "Xiaoqiao, are you really going there?"

Gu Beiqiao stood in front of his bed with his bag in his hand, nodded, "I'm leaving."

Peng Yan thought for a while, "Last time I asked the donkey friends I knew, and they said that the western plateau is full of this kind of prairie flower sea. What is the name of a place... What is Zoige? It's closer to City Y, and they also I’ve been there, and I also showed me the photos I took at that time, and it feels similar to your picture.”

Gu Beiqiao silently memorized the name, "Then I... let's go, goodbye."

"Well, go, go home early after playing." Peng Yan smiled at him.

Gu Beiqiao took one last look at him and walked out of the room.

The idiot waited for him at the door, and the two left the community and got on the bus bound for the station.

On the square in front of the station, Gu Beiqiao saw many scalpers waving signs to solicit customers as expected. He searched with his eyes, but he really couldn't remember the appearance of the scalper he met when he first came to City C. So another person asked, "Going to City Y?"

Some people saw him coming, as if they wanted to take a car, and hurriedly greeted him with smiles. After hearing his words, their expressions suddenly changed, and they said with disgust, "Who will go so far away?"

He was a little anxious after asking several people who were unwilling to go. Finally, at the exit, he saw a person who was dancing signs very vigorously and shouted like a bell. Then he suddenly remembered his appearance.

He dragged the idiot and ran to the scalper, "Are you still going to City Y? I'm rich now!"

Uncle Scalper first took a look at him, "It's you," and then thought for a while, "Go, why don't you go!" Seeing the fool next to him, he asked, "Did you find another carpool?"

Gu Beiqiao didn't deny it either, "When are you leaving?"

Seeing his anxious look, the uncle smiled and said, "I'm not ready yet, I have to tell my family, wait a minute, I'll make a call first!" After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call After a brief explanation on the phone, the person on the other end of the phone shouted unhappily: "Why do you take the job so far away? No!"

The phone's voice was extremely loud, and Gu Beiqiao, who was standing next to him, could hear it clearly.

The uncle hurriedly covered the speaker, and said in a low voice: "The business is not good recently, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle."

The two chattered a few more words, and the uncle finally replied: "All right, all right, I know, you are waiting at home, and I will be back in a few days."

When he hung up the phone, he waved his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to the car!"

Gu Beiqiao, the idiot, and him walked around the alley near the station several times before finding an old van.The uncle opened the car door for the two of them, coughed and explained: "Recently, the investigation is too strict. No one's car can be parked at the gate of the station. If you are caught, you will not only be fined [-] yuan, but you will also be sent to a detention center! ... Sit down and sit down." Yet?"

Gu Beiqiao put his luggage at his feet, the back seat was spacious and comfortable for only two people, nodded and said: "Okay."

The uncle sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and adjusted the rearview mirror. Then he said to them: "Okay, let's go to refuel, and we can go on the highway after filling up the gas!"

City C is not only thousands of miles away from City Y, but the terrain is also much worse. You can clearly feel that the more you drive west, the more uphill roads. There is a rumbling in the ears.

The van drove until the afternoon, and the twilight engulfed the continuous mountains in a dim atmosphere, and some backlights were as dark as ink, like a dormant mountain ghost, but it didn't intend to hurt anyone, it just watched these Vehicles traveling through the mountains.

The mountains are tall and heavy. Compared with them, the cars and the people in them are so small.The uncle who was driving looked at the mountain that was almost pressing on his head. He was not in a good mood. He was a talkative person. Unfortunately, the two teenagers in the back seat had been silent since they got in the car. One was sleeping and the other was silent. Staring out the window.

"Why don't you two buy train tickets to go? It's cheap and convenient."

Gu Beiqiao watched fugue outside the window without saying a word.

The uncle couldn't help sighing, and secretly put on the earphones to talk to his wife.

Gu Beiqiao didn't feel dull looking at the repeated scenery outside. For a while, there was a mountain tunnel in front of him, and a high bridge over the river for a while. When you yawn, your ears will quiet down.

With the slight bumps, he couldn't resist drowsiness, and gradually fell asleep leaning on the fool.

A day later, the uncle parked the car near a square not far from the city, turned to them and said, "Here we are! Do you think it's okay to get off here? I have to find a hotel to sleep, I'm too tired!" "

Gu Beiqiao took out the money from his backpack, thanked the uncle and got out of the car.

The idiot looked at this strange city curiously, and took Gu Beiqiao's hand, "Where are you going?"

"station."

As a result, when I arrived at the station, I found that the bus to the grassland had already left. Due to the long distance, there was only a bus at six or seven in the morning every day.

Gu Beiqiao planned to eat something nearby first, then find a place to stay for one night, and come back tomorrow.

The two found a random restaurant on the side of the road.An LCD TV is hung on the wall facing the door of the restaurant, and a popular entertainment program is shown on the TV. The boss's daughter is lying on another table, giggling and giggling by the people inside while watching TV. , but it’s time for the advertisement before watching it for a while.The girl unhappily turned around with the remote control, but she still couldn't find a program she wanted to watch, only to hear the boss yelling in the room: "Watching TV again! Why don't you go back home and do your homework?"

The girl was startled, and hurriedly put down the remote control and ran inside in desperation.

And the TV was staying on a news channel, and after an advertisement was played, it also began to enter the noon news.In front of the tidy workbench, the host's well-spoken Mandarin sounded a bit serious.

Gu Beiqiao sat face to face with the idiot on a table, and he could see the TV when he raised his head.

After a brief introduction, the TV jumped to a scene of a reporter holding a microphone for an interview.

"More than a month ago, a mentally handicapped boy disappeared suddenly on a rainy night. The boy's parents abandoned the noodle restaurant run by the family to look for him everywhere. However, after searching for a long time, they still found nothing. Where will this boy go? He is alone. Will they encounter danger outside? Today, the couple approached our reporter, hoping to help them find their son through the power of news, and hoped that viewers who had seen the boy in front of the TV would lend a helping hand. After seeing the boy Contact them as soon as possible."

When the camera turned, a man and a woman were standing in front of the camera holding a magnified photo. The person in the photo had a round cut, a bright smile, and two sharp teeth.

Gu Beiqiao paused with his hand holding the rice.

It just so happens to be this roadside restaurant, it just so happens to be this hour, it just so happens to be this news channel.On the TV, a middle-aged woman with a swollen face said with red eyes: "My son's name is Chen Qing. Because he has some brain problems, we call him silly..."

When the idiot heard this voice, he looked back suddenly, tears welled up in an instant, and he yelled in disbelief: "Mom..."

The author has something to say: In the next few days, I may have to find time to update with my mobile phone! ! !A hard to do something secretly~

If there is a BUG, ​​we can only wait for it to come back and modify it. . .woo woo woo
