Boyfriends are crazy

Early in the morning, the village was noisy and restless, as if something important had happened.

Obviously, the neighbors were separated by a long distance, and it was very troublesome to walk, but early in the morning, they all gathered at the head of the village, discussing something with anger on their faces.

Shen Xibai gasped, and limply got up from the bed, only to hear someone outside the door slapping the door of his house violently.

Shen Xibai was jolted instantly, most of him woke up from a doze, immediately grabbed the coat next to him, put it on in a hurry, and rushed to the door in a hurry to open it.

"Is Teacher Shen there? Teacher Shen!" The piercing voice of a girl outside the door was still shouting.

While tightening the zipper of his coat, Shen Xibai went to pull on the door, and responded loudly, "I'm here!"

Outside the door was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a dark face and short hair, so short that it was almost comparable to a boy's cut.

And her hair is also very dry and messy, and the clothes she wears are also men's. The clothes have been washed to fade, full of wrinkles and dirty marks that cannot be washed cleanly, looking shabby and pitiful.

She is not so much like a little girl, more, more like a tomboy.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the little girl's face was scorched, Shen Xibai asked without knowing it.

The little girl's forehead was covered with sweat, and she was a little out of breath, probably from running over.

She took a breath and explained, "The village chief asked everyone to gather at the entrance of the village for a meeting, so he sent us children to pick you up."

Shen Xibai paused, frowned, and asked, "Did something happen? Or is it related to the teaching task?"

The little girl's eyes began to become a little dodgy, and she stumbled a little, "I, I don't know either."

Seeing the little girl's guilty expression, Shen Xibai showed his usual kind smile, and didn't ask any more questions, he never forced others to make things difficult.

Shen Xibai blinked, his eyes were as clear as water, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he said softly, "Well, wait for me, I'll get some things, and I'll follow you right away."

The little girl's name was Zhang Lu, she put her hands behind her stiffly, she looked a little nervous and shy, she buried her head down, she didn't dare to look at Shen Xibai, so she could only nod indiscriminately.

Shen Xibai took things very quickly, and walked out within a few minutes.

He looked at the little girl who was standing at the door with her head down, looking at a loss, and handed the handkerchief he had just entered the room to the little girl, and said softly, "Wipe it."

"Eh?" Zhang Lu was stunned, she raised her eyelids, slowly raised her head, her eyes met Shen Xibai's with precision and speechlessness.

This glance made her bury her head again in a panic, and she didn't know where to put her hands, so she could only keep repeating, "No, no, no, it's okay, no need."

Shen Xibai had no choice, so he took back the handkerchief, and sighed helplessly, "Then you lead the way."

Zhang Lu nodded indiscriminately, the tips of her ears were a little red, but it quickly faded away.

......

"Shen Xibai, you're here." It was Zhou Xingwen, the man with glasses who spoke, and he saw Shen Xibai's figure from a long distance away, and then he yelled loudly.

Zhang Lu successfully completed her task, sent the person to the destination, took a deep breath, and bowed to Shen Xibai.

Then, without even giving Shen Xibai a chance to speak, he ran away and quickly disappeared in front of Shen Xibai.

Shen Xibai stood there in a daze, staring at the back of the little girl running away in a daze, as if he hadn't reacted.

Zhou Xingwen rushed up, stopped Shen Xibai on the shoulder, patted his arm, and secretly pulled him aside, whispering, "I heard that we were called here for a meeting because a person died in the village last night. .”

Shen Xibai was startled, "How did he die?"

Zhou Xingwen frowned, his expression looked very regretful, "I just heard what they said, it seems that they found it in the mountain in the morning, I guess it must have accidentally fell down from the mountain last night and died."

Shen Xibai's heart skipped a beat, "Last night?"

Zhou Xingwen didn't notice the strangeness in his expression and tone, and said to himself, "Yes, I heard that the person who died was only in his 50s and [-]s, and he was in his prime. Alas, this is too pity."

Shen Xibai's face was instantly pale as paper, and his mind instantly remembered the bumping sound he heard on the mountain when he came back last night.

Could it be...

Could it be that time?

Thinking of this, Shen Xibai bit his lower lip, and his lips began to turn white.

No, it shouldn't.

If a person fell down at that time, why didn't there be any cry for help?

Shen Xibai's complexion improved a little bit, and before he could continue to ask Zhou Xingwen, his eyes were caught by a woman in sloppy clothes who appeared on the periphery of the crowd.

The woman's eyes seemed to be a little erratic, her back was arched, and her expression was a little like a child's foolishness. She was estimated to be around 40 years old, but her walking posture was a bit strange, and her right leg was a little rough, and she could only bend Standing still, unable to stand up, with one leg up and one down, walking with difficulty.

Of course, this was not the reason why Shen Xibai was attracted by her, but because she kept repeating the same two words, "Retribution, retribution... retribution..."

While talking, he smiled and looked very happy.

Shen Xibai and Zhou Xingwen looked at each other almost subconsciously.

"You bitch, what are you talking about!"

The woman's voice was very loud, let alone Shen Xibai and the other villagers present could also hear it clearly.

No, a man with a fierce face suddenly stood up, scolded the woman unceremoniously, and even rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to hit her.

Zhou Xingwen's eyes widened. They had read the books and received the education of equality between men and women. Regardless of men and women, whoever hits another is definitely not a correct behavior. It is called barbarism.

Zhou Xingwen saw that there was something wrong with his posture, and was about to rush out to persuade him to fight, but before he could make a move, the other villagers behind the man rushed to the man and whispered something into his ear.

The man's arrogance immediately dissipated, his eyes also changed suddenly, he took two steps back, and without saying anything, he waved his hand and walked back to his original position.

The villagers next to her also glanced at the woman with indescribable expressions, their eyes full of contempt.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xibai had sharp eyes and noticed the change in the man's eyes.

This kind of change is not like the feeling when you are persuaded to calm down, but it is a bit like...

fear?

Once this word appeared in Shen Xibai's mind, it never left.

Because he found that not only the man just now, but to be precise, the whole village is very afraid of her...

Why is that?

Shen Xibai suddenly discovered that this village has too many weird and strange places.

Zhou Xingwen's gaze was fixed on the mad woman's direction, thinking about something.

Suddenly, Shen Xibai's wandering eyes met a pair of eyes like a deep pool.

The man stood in the middle of two dilapidated houses, his body was half blocked, and he stood there motionless, like a wooden stake, with his hands hanging by his sides, without blinking his eyes.

But the strange thing is that no one around him seemed to be able to see him, and no one looked there with half of their gaze.

It seemed that in the whole world, Shen Xibai was the only one who noticed a person standing there.

Shen Xibai's expression was temporarily moved, his mouth opened and closed, and then pursed, his eyelids were slightly raised, and there were many small movements.

Finally, Shen Xibai ignored Zhou Xingwen who was standing there, and walked directly towards the man's place.

"...??? Eh? Shen Xibai, where are you going?" It wasn't until Shen Xibai walked away that Zhou Xingwen suddenly slapped his head, came to his senses, and then yelled.

But Shen Xibai had already gone a long way and did not answer him.

Zhou Xingwen could only frown, watching Shen Xibai walking towards a corner where there was no one, he just felt very baffled, scratched the back of his head, but didn't take it to heart, and left him alone.

After all, they are adults and have their own things to do.

The closer Shen Xibai's footsteps got to Shen Qiyi, the more hesitant he became, and he even couldn't help scratching his hair, for fear that the current self looked messy or inappropriate.

His reactions and actions are like a young boy who is going to meet his sweetheart. He pays great attention to his external image, for fear of making the other party laugh at him.

Shen Xibai bit his lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and called out tentatively, "Qi, Qi Yi?"

The man's eyes were fixed on him from the beginning to the end, the closer Shen Xibai got, the deeper the smile on his mouth became.

"Xibai." He imitated Shen Xibai's tone and called back the other party's name.

Shen Xibai listened to the slightly magnetic voice, lowered his head, his neck felt a little hot, after a while, he raised his head again, stared at the man with dark almond eyes, and asked, "Why don't you go over later, it seems It's a meeting."

Shen Qiyi's eyes flickered darkly, his lips curled up, he smiled without saying a word, he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, Shen Xibai heard someone behind him yelling to assemble, saying that the village chief was about to start speaking.

Shen Xibai stared straight at the man, with a calm expression on his face, his dark eyes met the man's, and he sent out an invitation nonchalantly, as if he wanted to go with him.

The man chuckled, stretched out his hand, and stroked Shen Xibai's hair.

Unprepared, Shen Xibai stared blankly in place, his eyelashes trembling up and down crazily, as if he was very nervous.

Seeing his reaction without thinking, Shen Qiyi raised his eyebrows, and explained casually, "There is a little bug."

"...Oh." Shen Xibai responded, and he didn't know if he believed such a far-fetched reason, but at least the trembling frequency of his eyelashes eased down, but the roots of his ears were still slightly flushed.

Ashamed and unaware.

Seeing Shen Xibai's reaction, the man curled his lips, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, without piercing his small thoughts, he slowly raised his head, looked into the distance, looked at the villagers walking behind Shen Xibai, and wondered what he thought of , the cold light flickered for a while, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

There was still a smile on his face, he came back to his senses, and stared straight at the hibiscus-like face in front of him.

The man sighed, and there seemed to be some emotion in his voice, and said softly.

"Good, let's go."
