fool around

After a lapse of more than a month, Si Yu took the bus pulled by a tractor again, but it was different from the black lights last time. This time the tractor was driving under the blue sky and broad daylight. On the road, he met some villagers who waved their hands to greet him and called Si Yu. Hello teacher.

While enduring the jolt, Si Yu tried to maintain his balance while not forgetting to control his facial muscles, the corners of his mouth slightly raised at thirty degrees.He was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he had to nod to the villagers who greeted him. He looked like a city leader going to the countryside to condolences to his comrades, and he was quite majestic.

The tractor stopped at the entrance of the village, and Si Yu jumped off the cart to loosen his muscles. He stood on tiptoe and looked outside. A small truck was already waiting outside the path.

The eldest brother was quite honest. He said that he pulled a truck and it really was a truck, not exaggerating at all.

He walked around to the door of the tractor, Qi Lu leaned on the back of the driver's seat, one elbow rested on the window frame, and the other hand supported the steering wheel.

"Mr. Qi," Si Yu looked at Qi Lu's elbow that was resting on the car window. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not. He also supported the window frame with one hand, and the outside of his palm seemed to touch Qi Lu's elbow, he stood on tiptoe and said to Qi Lu, "Can you help me move something?"

Qi Lu glanced at Si Yu's hand, his fingertips were pressing against the window sill, the edge was white, the nails were very short, flat and narrow, it looked cute - no, it was annoying.

Qi Lu withdrew his hand, pulled down the brim of the cloak and hood, and said coldly, "No."

Si Yu curled his lips, not daring to make further progress, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and shook his hand at Qi Lu: "Then Mr. Qi, please wait for me for a while, and I will come when I move the goods. Soon!"

Qi Lu leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and did not respond at all.

Si Yu rubbed his nose, turned and left.

Familiar 4G advertising posters are still hung on the bulletin boards, and the narrow mountain passages are still foggy and humid.

Si Yu got closer and closer, and the fog became thicker.Just now, I could vaguely see the shadow of the truck parked outside in the distance, but when I got closer, I couldn't see anything.

The corner of the brightly colored and festive and jubilant poster was not glued firmly, and a gust of wind blew by, half of the poster was lifted in an instant, and it was blown by the wind to make a "slap" sound when it was shot on the iron plate.A cold breath gradually rose from the soles of Si Yu's feet, and there were waves of coolness on his back. He couldn't help shivering under the sun, and subconsciously looked back.

It was only when his eyes were locked on the pitch-black tractor that he felt that inexplicable sense of fear faded a bit.

Si Yu shook his head, feeling that his nerves were too delicate, and he could be frightened by a gust of wind in broad daylight.

He forced himself through the thick fog at the entrance, and for a moment he felt he could see nothing, neither white nor black, but nothingness, without a trace of color, without any living beings around him, his five senses All are lost, and the air can only feel damp and cold.

But this moment is indeed just a moment, and in the next second, he stepped out of the thick fog, and the warmth of the early spring sun was very real.

Si Yu rubbed his fingers, and there was still a thin layer of water vapor in his palm.

He turned around and took a look. The fog was just a very common fog in the mountains, gathering at the narrow mountain pass to form a pure natural barrier.

Si Yu raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking that maybe it was just his hallucination.

"Hey! Brother!" A 37-year-old strong man jumped out of the car, wearing a tight short-sleeved sleeve and showing a big flower arm, standing on the side of the road and shouting to Si Yu, "Is it here to get something? !"

Si Yu's random thoughts were completely disrupted by this voice, and he quickly responded: "Yes, I'm sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time."

Si Yu stepped forward, said some polite words to the tattooed brother, and observed the other people in the car.

Including the tattooed man, a total of three people came, but they were all men, and Ruan Ruan was not seen.

"Brother," Si Yu asked, "Didn't that female teacher come with you?"

"Who?" The tattooed brother thought about it while unloading the goods, and threw a large cardboard box on the ground roughly, clapped his hands and said, "Oh! You mean that young female leader like Ruan? She was going to I came with us, who knew that Director Fan called her to talk to her before departure, and she probably arrived soon. Hey, Director Fan called us to come here to deliver goods all day long. Gas money!"

His complaint was half true and half false, it was impossible for Si Yu not to understand what he meant.This sentence also reveals a more important message - these people have delivered goods to Gutang many times.

"This place is indeed a bit out of the way, please bear with me," Si Yu patted the elder brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I have no cigarettes or alcohol in this village, so I can't entertain you all. If you don't mind the three elder brothers, Let's add a WeChat, I will send everyone a red envelope, and buy some cigarettes on the way back, after all, I have to trouble everyone later."

What he said was impeccable, and the three middle-aged strong men cheerfully added WeChat with him. After one of them received a big red envelope of 188.88, they were a lot more careful when unloading the goods.

Si Yu weighed one of the small boxes, and asked casually, "Brother, do you know how many teachers came here before me?"

The tattooed brother took out a cigarette from the pocket on his buttocks, and chatted with him while smoking: "There are only two people, and you are the third one. It hasn't been long since this place was developed. I didn't say that, among the three Very little brother, you are the best at being a man! Don’t even give out red envelopes, you didn’t even give out your saliva!”

"It should be." Si Yu smiled shyly, and then asked, "Why don't you tell me about those two people, I'm pretty boring in this village, and no one talks to me."

The tattoo brother is also a good chatterbox, and he became interested in an instant: "The first one is about the same age as you. He is a man. I forgot what his name is. He ran away after a few days, saying that this place is not clean! "

"Not clean?" Si Yu asked in a low voice.

"Hi!" The tattoo brother rolled his eyes and hinted, "There are dirty things, you know?"

"What about the second one?" Si Yu asked.

"The second one is the female leader." The tattooed brother tilted his head and spit yellow phlegm on the ground. "She stayed for a long time, maybe... three or four months? I can't remember clearly. After I got out, I went straight to the Education Bureau It's work, good luck!"

"Then why did she leave?" Si Yu asked.

"Then how would I know," the elder brother gave him a sideways glance, and with an expression of "Aren't you talking nonsense?", he waved to Si Yu and said, "You wait for her to come and ask her yourself!"

Si Yu didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said, "Okay, hard work."

It looked like a lot of things, but in fact, only five cardboard boxes were packed, and a few people drove away after unloading the goods.

Si Yu stood where he was and kicked one of the boxes, but the cardboard box didn't move at all, and his toes hurt.

——It's quite heavy!

Five big boxes had to be moved to the cart one at a time, and I don't know if they could be loaded all at once.

He picked up a box in both hands and moved towards the village with great difficulty.

The dense fog near the entrance, the gloomy breath appeared again, gradually spreading along his spine to the top of his head.

Si Yu was so tired that he was out of breath, and he couldn't care less about being afraid, so he gritted his teeth and stepped into the mist.

This time, the sense of emptiness did not appear, and he could feel the white, solid water mist floating in front of his eyes.

Si Yu walked through the thick fog, his arms were sore, he threw the box on the ground, put his hands on it and gasped for a few breaths, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black thing under his feet - the shadow of something !

Reminiscent of the "dirty things" that the tattooed brother said just now, Si Yu's hair stood up all over his body, his body was stiff, his neck seemed to be wound up, and he slowly turned his head to see that Qi Lu in a cloak was standing Next to the bulletin board, holding a black cat in his arms.

Si Yu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, stood up straight and said, "Mr. Qi, you scared me."

Qi Lu supported the black cat with one hand, and stroked its fur with the other hand, and said, "Teacher Si is so timid?"

"No." Si Yu frowned, "When I left the village just now, I felt very strange... I don't know how to describe it."

"It's all an illusion," Qi Lu raised his eyes to interrupt him, his dark pupils were locked on Si Yu's face, "Teacher Si."

Under his calm gaze, Si Yu gradually calmed down. The black cat lay obediently on Qi Lu's hand, sticking out its tongue and licking its front paw.

"Where did Mr. Qi see it?" Si Yu stepped forward, bent down and said to the black cat, "Little guy, why are you here?"

"He's disobedient," Qi Lu said vaguely while stroking him, "always come here, waiting for people who shouldn't."

wait for someone?How can a cat wait for someone so persistently?

This reminded Si Yu of Li Mao, a young man who had met once. He also said that he was waiting for someone at the entrance of the village, and that as long as he waited long enough, that person would definitely come.

"How did Mr. Qi know?" Si Yu raised his face and asked Qi Lu, "This cat is waiting for someone."

"Guess." Qi Lu answered concisely.

Si Yu couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh. It wouldn't be surprising if this answer came from Xiaofu's mouth, but it was very awkward for Qi Lu to say that, not only awkward, but also a little...cute.

Qi Lu's hand stroked the fur on the black cat's back with light and slow movements.Si Yu thought about it, and said to the cat: "Tell me yourself, are you waiting for someone here?"

While saying this, he raised his hand and rubbed the black cat's neck lightly, and the back of his hand brushed Qi Lu's hand lightly "inadvertently".

Qi Lu froze, and immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

Si Yu straightened up and stretched his waist, his eyes were crooked, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

He yawned and said with a smile, "There are still four boxes outside, I'll move on."

Qi Lu didn't speak, Si Yu looked at him with a smile for a few seconds, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Qi, have you ever heard of the ulterior motive... cat?"

What he said had no beginning or end, Qi Lu didn't react for a while, subconsciously answered: "What?"

"It's nothing." Si Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Go move the box!"

Qi Lu put his hand behind his back, and his expression could not be seen clearly under the cover of the wide brim of his hat. He watched Si Yu's back, his expression was still calm, but the little finger behind him curled up in an arc.

—Did he do it on purpose?
