A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"What do you need me to do?" Fang Shiqing asked cautiously.

Looking at the smiling Zhang Yu, he had a very bad premonition.He thought of a rainy day a long time ago, when Zhang Yu also offered him something in exchange, but it turned out that his intention was not pure - what did he want to do this time?

"Don't be nervous," Zhang Yu leaned forward slightly, and put his hand on his wrist, "I came to the neighboring town to play, but it's not interesting to be alone. How about you go shopping with me? Like? In exchange, I will take you to the best flower and bird market I know, and I will help you buy what you want."

Accompany him... for a stroll?Fang Shiqing was stunned, and subconsciously moved back: "But I have other purchasing plans..."

"I can also go shopping with you, and I can help you pack things. Anyway, being alone is too boring, I just want to be with you, can't I?"

Zhang Yu approached him more reluctantly, her voice lowered, as if she was acting like a baby.

For some reason, Fang Shiqing instinctively felt uncomfortable when Zhang Yu met him.But he couldn't push the other party away, so he could only patiently say: "I have a special place to go to, and only those with VIP certificates can enter there..."

This is not looking for a reason, he originally planned to go to the black market, of course he couldn't bring Zhang Yu there.

"Then, can you go shopping with me for half a day? I'll take you shopping first, and then have a meal with me at noon, okay? I invite you."

Having said all of this, it would be too senseless to refuse.Fang Shiqing had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then I will trouble you to help guide the way. Let me invite you at noon, thank you for your help today."

"Then it's a deal." Zhang Yu looked very happy, and that delicate and beautiful face was so radiant that it was hard to look directly at it.Fang Shiqing couldn't help muttering, does this kid have no friends? Is it so happy to be able to get someone to play with him?

The rest of the journey was uneventful.Zhang Yu chatted with him from time to time, about the daily work on the farm, what crops they harvested in autumn, what hobbies they usually have, what kind of stuffed buns they like to eat... In short, they chatted about everything from daily life to personal preferences.

Fang Shiqing was actually a little absent-minded, he always wanted to look at Xiao Fengdi, but he didn't dare to turn his head blatantly.

Occasionally, he can also notice the seemingly invisible sight, even if he doesn't know if it is his own illusion, it is enough to make him feel like a light on his back.Will the other party look at him too? ...would you care about his existence?

He had clearly made it clear, but he still rejected him, but he couldn't be more straightforward at this time, which made him feel serious self-loathing.

The nearly three-hour journey finally passed, and before the car stopped, Zhang Yu couldn't wait to pull him to stand up: "Let's go quickly, time is limited, the sooner the better."

Fang Shiqing was ripped off the bus just like that.

As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately shivered several times: the neighboring town was not much warmer than Fengyue Town.

"Then let's go... Ah," Zhang Yu suddenly said angrily, "Sorry, I was too anxious and forgot to tell my dad. I'm sorry Brother Fang, wait for me, I'll be right back. "

Fang Shiqing had no choice but to stand still and wait.Within a few seconds, his whole body was blown through by the cold wind, so he had to stomp his feet desperately to keep warm, which was better than nothing.

The current temperature should be about ten degrees below zero, and he was only wearing a thin coat in spring and autumn, so it's no wonder he wasn't cold.

Later, I need to find a clothing store first and buy a thicker dress... He thought while trembling.

At this moment, the top of his head suddenly sank, and his eyes went dark:

A thick coat suddenly fell from the sky and accurately covered his head.

"……Hey?"

Fang Shiqing was dumbfounded.

This is a brand new thick coat, but there is still a little body temperature on it, as if it has just been in contact with the human body for a long time.

He pulled off the coat hanging on his head, and turned around in a hurry; the passengers hurriedly got off and left, chatting with each other, and a certain figure in the crowd was particularly conspicuous——

Xiao Fengdi also changed into a thick coat today, which looked similar to the one on his head.

"That, big brother!" He shouted, and at the same time hurriedly chased after the other party, "...this, is it your...?"

Xiao Fengdi stopped and turned around after a while, with a slightly helpless expression on his face.

"Just take it and wear it first, it's better than being cold," he said, "...I guess you will forget to prepare clothes to keep out the cold."

--What's the meaning?

Fang Shiqing was stunned.In other words, is this jacket specially prepared by the other party?Because he guessed in advance that he might ignore his problem of keeping out the cold?

How should I put it... The boss seems to know him better than he imagined, and he is indeed the one who would do such unreliable things.

After all, the protagonists in business simulation games often don't change their clothes all year round.

He didn't react for a long time, and Xiao Fengdi didn't seem to expect his reply, so he turned and left.

"Brother Fang? Why did you run so far?"

It wasn't until Zhang Yu came to the side and patted him on the shoulder that he regained his senses a little.

"Uh, nothing."

While speaking, he couldn't help looking at the direction Xiao Fengdi left.The other party has gone too far to see.

He looked at the coat in his hand, shook it off and draped it over his shoulders, feeling much warmer all of a sudden.

His heart also warmed up, and he was a little sour and regretful: he completely forgot to thank him just now.Even though he had such an embarrassing experience before, Xiao Fengdi still treated him very well, so good that he was at a loss for what to do.

Zhang Yu didn't notice the extra clothes in his hands at all. Probably, NPCs like him don't have the function of detecting other people's clothes.

"Okay, let's go, shall we go directly to the flower and bird market?"

"Ah."

So Zhang Yu led the way, and the two walked deep into the neighboring town.

Although the weather is cold, the streets of neighboring towns are still bustling, and some merchants have specially launched promotional activities with the cold winter as their selling point, letting clerks wrapped up in Santa Claus stand at the door to distribute leaflets.

He said he went directly to the flower and bird market to purchase, but since he had to pass through a commercial street on the way, Fang Shiqing inevitably went shopping with Zhang Yu and bought some things that might be useful, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, skill books, Simple raw materials, etc.

Zhang Yu was in high spirits, and every time he turned his head to talk to Fang Shiqing, he was smiling all over his face.Fang Shiqing felt a little sympathetic to him, thinking that he must have been bored at home for too long, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy when he went out to buy something.

Passing through the busiest business district, the two turned into a relatively remote residential area.The houses in this area are basically single-family two-story buildings, with courtyards planted with flowers and plants, all of which look very beautiful.

Zhang Yu led Fang Shiqing to the center of the residential area, bypassed a small supermarket, and next to it was a large three-story building with walls almost entirely made of glass. At a glance, the interior was lush green.

"This is the community activity center in this area, and there are also some merchants. However, because there are many old people who plant flowers and grass and raise birds nearby, there are also many shops engaged in related businesses. Now it can basically be regarded as a flower and bird market. Many precious species are here. It’s sold everywhere.”

Zhang Yu introduced him and led him in.

Fang Shiqing only felt his eyes light up.

The space inside is very vast, and there are beautifully decorated shops, with flowers arranged in shapes at the door, or birdcages hanging on the beams.There are people coming and going in the aisle, human voices, footsteps, the friction of moving heavy objects, mixed with the sounds of animals, there is a reassuring sense of noise.

"This... is really good."

"Right?" Hearing this, Zhang Yu smiled happily.

Fang Shiqing's goal is very clear, which is to buy expensive varieties of flowers that can be used for breeding.As he wandered along from flower shop to flower shop, he decided that traditional orchids and chrysanthemums were worth buying: neither of these flowers is easy to handle, but once planted, they are very valuable.

He didn't know anything about flowers before, and he only started to study after he built a greenhouse. Now, after listening to the various introductions from the shop owners in the flower shop, he was a little uncertain for a while, so he could only look around first.

Zhang Yu obviously has no interest in flowers, but has been quietly following him.Fang Shiqing felt a little sorry: "Why don't you go somewhere else first? Let's make an appointment, and I'll come and find you at noon."

"No need," Zhang Yu looked at him and smiled quietly, "I just want to stay with you. Or, you don't want me to follow?"

"Uh, no..."

Shiqing didn't dare to mention it anymore, so he could only watch the flowers silently.

After picking and picking for about an hour, he finally selected several orchids.Orchids are really expensive, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan to just pick a pot. When he lifted the flower pot and put it in the prop rack, he was very nervous, thinking that if it was accidentally smashed, there would be no place to cry .

Thinking that it is winter now, he bought a few more plum blossoms.All the flowers sold here are ornamental flowers, but next spring they will also produce plums, which are probably edible.

The purchase has come to an end, the time is close to 11:30, and it is just right to have lunch now.

Before going out, Zhang Yu suddenly stopped and looked aside.

"What's the matter?" Fang Shiqing found him looking at the bird cage hanging at the door of the nearby shop, "Do you want to buy something?"

"I kind of want to buy it," Zhang Yu nodded. "Xiaoyu likes birds very much. She...she is locked up at home by us after all, and she is quite boring by herself. I want to bring her some gifts."

"Then let's go and see."

Zhang Yu glanced at him and suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, Brother Fang, are you interested in raising birds? How about raising a parrot too, so I can chat with you or something. I'll give you one too? "

"No, there's no need." Fang Shiqing blushed for a while, raising a parrot to talk with him sounded too much like an empty-nest old man.

But Zhang Yu said relentlessly: "I'll pick one for you too. Speaking of which, Xiaoyu got into such a big disaster last time, we didn't give you any compensation, so I'll give you something to show our love."

Giving gifts is essentially to deepen the relationship. If the two parties intend to deepen the relationship, it is natural for you to come and see me as much as possible. However, Fang Shiqing actually does not want to have too much practical involvement with Zhang Yu.

Just when he was about to seriously refuse, a young man came out of the store, glanced at Zhang Yu inadvertently, and suddenly said, "Hey, aren't you Zhang Yu? Are you here to play with us today?"

At first, Fang Shiqing thought that the other party had admitted the wrong person. After all, Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu looked almost exactly the same.Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu glanced at the other party. Although he frowned, he did not show a strange expression.

The young man came forward very familiarly: "What a coincidence, you haven't been here since you graduated, have you? Why didn't you contact us old classmates before you came to have a meal or something?"

"Well... I forgot." Zhang Yu said perfunctorily, and glanced at Fang Shiqing a little nervously.

"..." Fang Shiqing said tactfully, "I'll wait for you outside."

It seemed that there was something Zhang Yu didn't want him to know, so he hesitated for a moment before nodding.

So Fang Shiqing turned and left the building.Because it was too cold outside, he didn't go far, but just waited between the two sliding doors at the exit.

——According to what the young man said just now, he should be a native of the neighboring town, and also a classmate of Zhang Yu.But isn't it his sister Zhang Yu who comes to school here?How is this going?

Fang Shiqing's first thought was that the twin brothers and sisters both went to school here, and they might even share the same school.Don’t many novels write like this, the twin brothers are from a poor family and can only afford one tuition fee, so they only apply for one student status, and the two go to school in turn, or something...

But, first of all, brothers and sisters are no better than brothers. Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu are similar at first glance, but they are a bit different when you look closely.Second, if that's the case, why did the siblings do it?Their family does not lack this tuition fee, right?

He couldn't figure it out, but after thinking about it later, this is someone else's private matter anyway, so if you can't figure it out, don't even think about it.

Zhang Yu didn't come out for a while, Fang Shiqing could only look out through the glass door boredly.

Not far away are small two-story buildings side by side.Now it's freezing cold, and the gardens of other people's gardens are bare, at most you can see a few plum blossoms occasionally.

Take a closer look, the garden of the house in front seems to be a bit different - other houses are just shrubs or plants with only branches, but this house is an orderly open space, which looks like... a vegetable bed .

Fang Shiqing couldn't help being interested.Now he is very self-conscious as a farmer, and he is excited when he mentions growing vegetables. He really didn't expect to meet like-minded people in places like neighboring towns.

While he was concentrating on observing, a person came slowly along the road, stood still at the door of that family's house, and looked at the courtyard quietly.Although there are people coming and going in this area, there are not many people standing at the door but not going in, so he is very conspicuous.

Fang Shiqing was stunned.

That person was none other than...Xiao Fengdi.

Even though there was some distance from that side, there was absolutely no way he could have misidentified this person.Why is the boss here?What is he... looking at?

Zhang Yu: I kind of want to buy that... (crazy hint)

Fang: Well, then go buy it. (unaware)

Zhang Yu: ... Do you really want it too!Then I'll buy it for you! (It’s okay! If it’s not the mountain, I’ll just go to the mountain!)

Fang: No, I don't want it. (still unaware)
