wilderness

Gu Beiqiao ran for a long distance in the night, and when he stopped panting, the surrounding buildings were far different from the old-fashioned buildings in the spring community.

He first found a bus platform according to the plan, followed the bus route written on the platform, and found the bus to the 'Qiuxin Square Station' in the city center.Gu Beiqiao has a good memory. When Huang Min took him to his grandma’s house when he was a child, he remembered that they took the bus at Qiuxin Square Station. As long as he found the No. 4 bus covered in green leather, he would be able to travel in half an hour. After arriving at Chengbei Passenger Station, and then boarding the bus bound for Linshi, he can advance 100 kilometers on the westward journey.

As for what to do after arriving in Linshi, Gu Beiqiao had also thought about it.He can find a temporary job in supermarkets or small restaurants, or do night shift work that ordinary people can't bear. Anyway, he is very energetic at night and can't fall asleep.Or, he eats less, and his salary is low, so he sleeps in the park without accommodation. In short, he can live well without that female ghost.

Gu Beiqiao took off his backpack, straightened the crooked rabbit on his chest, sat on the waiting seat and leaned against the brightly lit stop sign all night, squinting at the sky.

The moon is so bright.

At six o'clock in the morning, the city hadn't woken up yet, and he was the only one waiting alone on the platform. Finally, the first bus came slowly with its lights on.

Gu Beiqiao didn't close his eyes all night, but he didn't feel tired either. He stood up and stretched. After seeing the train number, he pulled out his change and got on the train.

The driver glanced at him and asked, "Are you going to class so early?"

Gu Beiqiao lowered his head, replied "um", and then found a window seat in the last row to sit down.The bus started, and he put his bag in his arms, watching the scenery outside the window keep going backwards.

Gradually, there were many people on the road, most of them were sitting in the front row, making a lot of noise.The closer you get to the city center, the more passengers there are, and eventually the whole car is wobbly.At a stop, the back door opened and closed quickly, a middle-aged woman desperately walked through the crowd from the back and shouted loudly, "Open the door, open the door!" But there were too many people, her voice was drowned out in the crowd .The aunts who were shopping for groceries were chatting with each other, and the rest of the people were playing with their phones with their heads down. Those who were standing were all holding the handrails and looking out the window indifferently.The middle-aged woman finally squeezed to the back door, but the car had already left the platform, and she had to stand helplessly after she cursed a few harsh words.

Looking at all this, Gu Beiqiao only felt that he was drifting away from the crowd, his soul seemed to have escaped from his body, and he was calmly watching the carriage from the perspective of a speck of dust in the air, overlooking everyone's voice.He suddenly thought, if he was not Gu Beiqiao at this moment, but the middle-aged woman who missed the platform, what would he be thinking?In a hurry to get there early, but finally missed the time to get off... Then what about the girl who was laughing in the corner?Why is she so happy?Was her life always this happy?And that young man with a briefcase and glasses, he kept wiping his sweat and looking at his watch. What made him so anxious?

This speck of dust is unscrupulously getting into everyone's minds, trying to invade their emotional thoughts.From the perspective of others, the young man sitting in the back row just squinted his eyes and let his gaze go blank, as if he was in deep thought.

Gu Beiqiao was feeling miraculous, until he was woken up by the sound of an arrival notification, he withdrew the ray of consciousness he had placed on others, grabbed Bao Bao and squeezed out of the car nimbly.

Qiuxin Square is the largest square in the city. It is located in the center of the city, and there are many high-rise shops. The buses in the whole city cannot avoid it. Here, it is not difficult to find a bus to Chengbei Station. Therefore, Gu Beiqiao easily found the No. 4 bus.

When he arrived at Chengbei Station, Gu Beiqiao was momentarily at a loss. He stood against the flow of people on the square in front of the station, and many people passed him by with bags and families.And he, walking alone in the sea of ​​people, saw no one in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, held back the inexplicable turbulent impulse, tightly clenched the strap of his schoolbag with his fingers, and walked firmly into the ticket hall step by step.

I bought a ticket to Linshi in the west, and only a small half of the money was left.Gu Beiqiao put the wallet in the innermost layer of the backpack, and got into the car.

His seat was still by the window in the back row, and when he got in the car, he found that there was already a person sitting next to him.The man was only in his early twenties, the peaked cap on his head was pressed low, and the exposed chin was covered with white-tipped pimples, his mouth was bulging, and he was chewing gum. She also wore a sparkling earring.Seeing Gu Beiqiao standing beside him, he subconsciously asked, "Are you sitting in there?" His tone was a bit harsh.

Gu Beiqiao nodded expressionlessly, walked in carefully avoiding the man's legs, put the bag on his knees, quietly looked out the window, and waited for departure.

The person next to him saw him holding the bag, so he couldn't help reminding him: "You can put the bag on the shelf above your head. I'll sit outside, or can I put it for you?"

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, but remained silent.

Seeing his indifference, the man muttered, "No one took yours," and stopped talking.

After a long time, the vehicle finally started to move. The man seemed to be bored, and asked for something, "Where are you going?"

This car is a special line to Lincheng, so this question is really meaningless.Gu Beiqiao didn't like this kind of idle chat, so he replied concisely: "The terminal."

The man curled his lips, and continued to ask: "What are you doing there? Seeing that you are so young, you should still be in high school. Didn't you go to school today?"

Gu Beiqiao finally shifted his gaze from the car window to the person next to him, and saw the red pimples on his face under the brim of his hat at a glance. The person seemed a little embarrassed, and quickly turned his head to cover his face with his hands, "Acne, youthful Symbol, it will be fine after a while."

Gu Beiqiao said, "I've never had acne before."

Brother Acne blushed, and said slightly angrily: "Wait for you, it will grow up sooner or later!"

Gu Beiqiao blinked, stopped looking at him, and looked out the window again.

"Hey, you haven't said why you went there yet." Budou covered his face and leaned over to talk again.

"No why."

"No why why are you going there?"

"No why."

"Why no why?"

Gu Beiqiao closed his mouth, no matter what the person next to him said.During the turbulence of the vehicle, drowsiness gradually hit him. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, his hands still tightly grasping the belt.

The sunlight outside the window fell on his pale face, the fan-like eyelashes drooped quietly, casting a shallow shadow under his eyes.The acne brother next to him looked at his sleeping face, and muttered softly: "Cut, it's great not to have acne, look at your dark circles!"

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Beiqiao was woken up by the people around him, "Here we are, don't sleep!" He opened his eyes, and saw that Brother Tudou's enlarged face was a little anxious, and he was relieved when he saw that he had woken up. "I thought you'd fallen asleep, I've been calling you for 2 minutes."

Gu Beiqiao just woke up and still didn't come back to his senses. After a while, he looked out of the window. The sun had already risen to the middle of the sky, and the buildings were densely packed. It seemed that he was approaching the urban area.

"Is someone coming to pick you up?" Brother Pimple asked.

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, lowered his head to check the bag and the rabbit.

"Wow, your family is so worried about you? Do you know the way?"

Gu Beiqiao thought for a while and said, "Take the bus."

Brother Pidou said excitedly: "Why don't you tell me where you are going, and my friend will pick me up later, and see if I can take you there along the way."

Gu Beiqiao still shook his head.At this time, the car has parked safely at the station.

Brother Pixou's enthusiasm was extinguished, so he had to say: "Okay, tell me your name at the end, and we will say goodbye."

"Gu Beiqiao." After Gu Beiqiao answered him, he stood up and squeezed out from his side to get off the car.

Before the people behind him had time to say their names, they saw him walking a long way without looking back. "Tsk tsk, it's so cold, such a person will definitely not be able to make friends."

Gu Beiqiao walked out of the station and stood on the platform to study the route map of the bus.

Where are you going?His eyes suddenly fell on a place.Evening Flower Park?There must be a lot of flowers in it... Will there be Gesang flowers?

Gu Beiqiao made up his mind to visit Wanhua Park today.After waiting in the scorching sun for a while, my face was flushed, the bus finally arrived.

The bus stopped and went, Gu Beiqiao felt a little motion sickness, and since he hadn't eaten anything since last night, his stomach began to ache.When I couldn't help but want to pinch myself, Wanhua Park arrived.

Gu Beiqiao staggered out of the car and breathed in the fresh air, which made him feel better.

Wanhua Park is built next to a residential building. There is a street below the residential buildings. There are restaurants and restaurants facing the street. From time to time, there are bursts of fragrance from the street.

Gu Beiqiao felt his stomach growling, and planned to have a meal first.

The first one near the park sells Yunnan Guoqiao rice noodles. Gu Beiqiao doesn’t like rice noodles very much, so he followed the signboard to look for the second one: Chen Ji Noodle House.

Do you want to eat noodles?It's okay, he likes to eat noodles, especially fish soup noodles. In the past, Huang Min was best at making fish soup noodles. The noodle soup is thick and white, very delicious.

There is a water pipe coiled at the entrance of Chen Ji Noodle Restaurant. The water pipe is connected to the faucet in the back kitchen, and the other side leads to a large red plastic basin.Sensing that someone was coming, the boy looked up, then froze.

Gu Beiqiao was about to step up and walk into the noodle shop, when he suddenly felt a stare staring straight at him.He glanced sideways, and saw a young man about his own age, wearing a vest, the thin muscles on his arms were slightly bulged, and he had a round cut. , with a vicious expression, like a little wolf.He frowned and stared back dissatisfied.

Seeing him looking over, the boy stopped washing the dishes. He wiped his body casually with his hands covered in detergent foam, stood up and looked at him. The two were about the same height.

Gu Beiqiao was in a bad mood, thinking, I don't know you, why are you staring at me?Immediately, he didn't want to eat any more noodles, so he turned and walked towards another store.

Unexpectedly, the young man chased him up and hugged him from behind. Unlike his masculine appearance, his voice was a little soft, "Eat noodles! Eat noodles!" the young man shouted.
