A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing walked around the school and then returned to the bus.Not long after, the driver came back, opened the door, and the passengers waiting next to him got on the car one after another, but Xiao Fengdi still didn't come back.

He began to feel a little anxious.

The time points to [-]:[-], and most of the passengers have already boarded the bus, including Uncle Zhang from the grocery store.Fang Shiqing lingered near the car door, stopping from time to time to look into the distance, but there was no sign of Xiao Fengdi anywhere.

Could he...something bad happen to him?

no, I can not.Fang Shiqing immediately denied himself in his heart, how could something happen to the boss.

At such a time, it was impossible for him to set off to find someone. Speaking of which, he didn't even know where Xiao Fengdi had gone, nor could he find anyone.

At 55:[-], almost everyone in Fengyue Town returned to the bus, and the driver who was smoking under the bus also got on the bus.

Fang Shiqing was extremely anxious, but calmed down instead.He wrote a note, briefly summarizing the situation here, and then got in the car to find store manager Zhang, and told him that if Xiao Fengdi didn't come back in time, he would ask him to help put the purchased industrial supplies and this piece of paper together. Take the note back and hand it over to Mayor Li's secretary—that is, Zeng Xin.

Then he went back under the car and waited intently.

If Xiao Fengdi didn't make it back in time, of course he couldn't leave the other party alone in the neighboring town.After the bus really drove away, he tried to find a way to find him; first, he went in the direction where the other party left.

Time passed minute by minute.58:59, [-]... [-]:[-], the driver of the bus closed the door and started the car.

Fang Shiqing's heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, in the direction where the other party disappeared before, an extremely familiar figure appeared in the distance——

Fang Shiqing jumped up all of a sudden, and ran to the other side to knock on the driver's window: "Master, I'm sorry, please wait for half a minute, the man will be here soon!"

He turned his head to look again, and made sure that the person walking slowly along the road was indeed Xiao Fengdi.But he walked too slowly, as if he didn't have the consciousness to drive the car at all, Fang Shiqing ran over in a hurry, trying to catch him: "Boss, you..."

When he got there, he found something was wrong.

The other party's complexion was very bad.Although the outside doesn't look damaged, the whole person is extraordinarily dazed; he has never seen the other person like this before, how should this be described, isn't Shensi?Lost your mind?

Even though he had been near death many times before, with the blood vessels near his heart severed, he never showed this state.Now it looks like... it's been a big blow and lost something important.

"……What’s wrong with you?"

Fang Shiqing grabbed his hand, feeling very cold.This is also a rare thing, because his body is strong enough, no matter when he touched it before, his palm was always warm.

After being touched like this, the other party seemed to have regained his senses a little, and turned his head slightly to look at him.

"..."

"Are you okay?" Fang Shiqing asked, and at the same time pulled him back, "Anyway, let's go back to the car first, you... did something happen?"

"...It's okay." It wasn't until they got back near the bus that the other party replied in a low voice, "It's nothing."

The driver got impatient for a long time, and the two of them closed the door as soon as they got into the car, and stepped on the accelerator grumbling.

Fang Shiqing grabbed Xiao Fengdi with one hand and supported the crossbar with the other, kept apologizing to the driver, and then staggered to the store manager Zhang in the moving car, and asked for a bunch of things entrusted to him.

The car was almost full, and he managed to find two vacant seats together. Fang Shiqing was just about to sit down, but Xiao Fengdi, who had been silently following behind him, took the lead and sat in the seat by the window.

He turned his head and looked out the window without saying anything.

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and found that this seat was just above the wheels, and it was bumpier than other seats, so no one was sitting on it.The opponent sat on the inside, occupying the seat directly above the wheel, leaving him the relatively better outside.

...Even though his condition is extremely bad now, the other party still wants to take care of him.

Fang Shiqing felt a little heat in his eye sockets.

He sat down and asked softly, "What's the matter with you? What happened?"

The other party still looked out the window and did not speak.

"Can't you tell me...?"

This is not surprising.The other party is a spirit remover, so there are too many things that cannot be said to an ordinary person like him.

He shook the other party's hand firmly, and then let go: "It's okay if you can't say it, if there is anything I can help, you must tell me."

The moment he let go of his hand, the other party suddenly moved and turned around.

"—!"

He was startled.

Xiao Fengdi hugged him violently.

——It’s a hug that is solid and doesn’t leave any room.

His whole body was pressed into the opponent's arms, and he was suddenly stunned:

This is not an inadvertent physical closeness in an emergency, nor is it a polite and distant action of protection and rescue, but a face-to-face hug when both parties are sober and healthy... It is a gesture aimed at absorbing affection. , a real hug.

The arms around him were so tight that he felt the pain in his back.He could feel the hot breath falling on his neck, and the other party's breathing was not steady, it was almost panting rapidly.That desperate emotion quickly infected him. He almost felt that the other party was going to whimper in the next second, but in the end he didn't.

The other party just hugged him tightly, as if hugging something extremely important, like a snowman grabbing a heat source, or a drowning person hugging driftwood.

Speaking of drowning, he remembered that after he was fished out of the water a few days ago, he seemed to hold each other and never let go.

Is Xiao Fengdi's mood now similar to his at that time?

Although I don't know what happened...

He hesitated for a while, and finally slowly wrapped his arms around the back of the other party and patted him lightly.

"...it's okay," he wanted to give some comfort, but in the end he didn't know what to say, he could only say something he didn't know what to say, "I... I'm here."

"Ah."

However, Xiao Fengdi actually responded.

The other party grabbed him more forcefully, and his breathing calmed down a little bit.

The hug lasted only a short time.Before other NPCs noticed them, Xiao Fengdi let go of his hand.

Fang Shiqing looked at his face.His spirit seems to be somewhat better, at least he doesn't look so dazed now.

"Boss, you..."

"Thank you," the other party spoke first, with a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Fang Shiqing wanted to say something more, but didn't know how to say it.It's not that he has no experience in comforting others, but the other party is not an ordinary person, but Xiao Fengdi; this is the first time he has shown such a vulnerable side.

This made Fang Shiqing extremely overwhelmed, and inevitably moved by it.

He added: "I did find something today... It's a private matter. If I have a chance in the future, I will tell you."

"Well, I will listen carefully to what you want to say."

It's as if they made a secret pact.Fang Shiqing nodded vigorously, and then the other party showed a faint smile.

After that, the two fell silent. Most of the NPCs have already fallen asleep, and there is only the friction sound of cars moving around.

"How is your side?" Xiao Fengdi asked after a while, "Is everything going well?"

"It's okay, but..."

Fang Shiqing originally had a lot of things he wanted to discuss with the other party, especially about the so-called "black market". That place was so unimaginable that his mind was full of all kinds of strange guesses.

But the state of the other party, as well as the hug just now, disrupted everything.Now he completely forgot his previous train of thought, and could only tell his own experience as much as possible.

He lowered his voice, and slowly talked about what he had seen and heard in the black market.While talking, he found that the other party had closed his eyes unconsciously, as if he had fallen asleep.

So he stopped, but the other party suddenly said, "I'm listening."

"Boss, if you are tired, go to sleep for a while, we can talk about this matter later."

Xiao Fengdi didn't say anything more, and after a while, Fang Shiqing was sure that he had fallen asleep.

When the other party was sitting and falling asleep, his posture was still correct, but his head was slightly leaned back on the back of the chair.Thinking of the care he received when he came here, Fang Shiqing wanted to reciprocate, but he looked over his shoulder but was discouraged.

The other party is a bit taller than him, so it is very comfortable to rely on, but on the other hand, if the other party wants to rely on him, it will definitely be awkward.

...just like the relationship between them.

He unconsciously recalled the hug just now.I don't know what this is to Xiao Fengdi, can it play a comforting role?

Can I be of some use to the other party?

The days in autumn are shorter than in summer, and when we returned to Fengyue Town, it was almost completely dark.

The tourists were in a hurry to go home, and the bus left the station very quickly.

Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment whether to go back to the farm or not. After discovering the usefulness of mahogany, he could work overtime after dark.However—he glanced at Xiao Fengdi, and immediately chose to give up.

The other party woke up half an hour ago, but he was in a daze until he got off the car, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Boss, let's go back to the picture now...huh?"

He turned around and wanted to call Xiao Fengdi, but found that the other person turned his head around at some point and was looking at him intently.

"You," the other party thought about it, and asked, "Recently, do you still have... that kind of thought?"

"What kind of thinking?" Fang Shiqing was completely at a loss for this sudden question.

"That is, I feel that my life is worthless, that death doesn't matter, and so on."

"When did I think so?" He asked blankly.

The other party stared at him wordlessly.

He was stunned before he remembered: more than a month ago, during the second dungeon, he had said some stupid things and done something out of the ordinary.

To be honest, until now, his evaluation of himself has not changed much, but he didn't want to say too much in front of the other party, so he smiled and said: "No, you saved my life, in order to repay you Thanks to the grace of saving my life, I will definitely live well."

"Really?" The other party asked again as if confirming, with a very solemn attitude.

"real."

The other party seemed to relax a little, and then reached out to hold him: "That's good. Let's go back."

From the beginning to the end, Fang Shiqing didn't know why he suddenly asked this question.Is this related to his experience today?Could it be that the boss was stimulated when he saw an NPC turned into by someone he knew in the past in a neighboring town?

He couldn't help but guess wildly.

The four seasons in the game are very distinct, and the temperature in autumn has cooled down significantly.

When going out this morning, Xiao Fengdi changed back to his previous long-sleeved uniform.Fang Shiqing followed him all the way back to the library, always feeling that something was wrong. It wasn't until after entering the door that the other party took off his coat that he realized that there was an extra pair of cuff buttons on the cuffs of his shirt at some point.

This pair of cufflinks is very dressy and doesn't really go well with ordinary clothing.Fang Shiqing was very sure that he didn't wear this kind of thing when he went out this morning, that is to say... Did he get it in a neighboring town today?

Was it sent by someone else?

Afterwards, he counted the things he bought today, Xiao Fengdi went into the lounge, and when he came out again, the pair of cufflinks were gone.

Fang Shiqing felt restless for some reason.

Today's expenditures are quite heavy. Among them, about 6 yuan was spent on purchases according to You Qingyu's list, nearly [-] yuan was spent on the black market, and [-] to [-] yuan were spent on other consumption, almost all the money on hand was spent in one day. Jiucheng.

Fortunately, there are enough leftovers to buy seeds at the beginning of the month, so it will not cause any difficulties to the production plan in autumn.

Xiao Fengdi came behind him and looked at the odds and ends that were scattered all over the floor.Fang Shi counted almost everything, and suddenly remembered something.

When I was in the car this morning, the other party seemed to have said that I wanted to tell him something.I don't know what it is. I planned to talk about it when I went to see the Maple Leaf of the school in the neighboring town, but I have missed it now.

It's a pity to say...

The other party didn't mention it, and he didn't take the initiative to ask.

After counting the things, Fang Shiqing adjusted the newly purchased "high temperature chamber".While he was busy, Xiao Fengdi's gaze stayed on him for a long time.

He was so stared at by the other party that his face became hot, so he had to turn around and ask, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"No." When speaking, Xiao Fengdi was still watching him, "I just want to watch you."

"..." Fang Shiqing took a deep breath and said, "Boss, don't make such jokes."

This kind of words is a bit too much, he is sure, if it is not him who is here now, if it is replaced by anyone else, there will definitely be ambiguous misunderstandings.

"I've never joked." Xiao Fengdi said plainly.

He certainly didn't look serious.In fact, no matter his expression or tone, he could not be more serious.

"I can't wait any longer," he said. "You have to make it clear to me today."
