Around

The sound of the electric three-wheeled motor stopped abruptly in the dark night. The coachman Lao Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and said to the two guests in the back seat: "Hey, this is it!"

The guests are two young people, in their twenties, the taller one in black clothes, although he has always been polite and polite, but there is always a slight alienation in his brows, and he is very imposing, which makes people feel difficult to get close to.In contrast, Lao Wang, who has seen people for most of his life, likes another young man in white from the bottom of his heart.This young man has soft facial features and good looks, but he is not as handsome and handsome as the one in black clothes, nor does he have to say how dazzling or amazing, it is just... Lao Wang racked his brains , Finally thought of a word - kind.The young man in white exudes a soothing aura all over his body, as if just looking at it can make people feel calm.

Lao Wang sighed in his heart all the way, this white-clothed young man looked young, and he didn't know where he cultivated his peace and calmness.The most amazing thing is that the temperament of the young man in white is so gentle that it is almost plain, but standing next to the young man in black, the two people with completely different temperaments not only do not seem out of place at all, but are extraordinarily warm and harmonious.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to get to the bottom of it, but as a coachman, he has spent half his life dealing with people, and he has seen many people of all kinds. Lao Wang can see at a glance that the mystery is still in the white clothes. On this body—the facial features of the young man in black are so deep that they seem to have been cut out with a knife, but the sense of aggression is not very strong, but a little cold.But as soon as he was separated from the young man in white, a terrifying aura immediately poured out like a tide, and sometimes just frowning would make people breathless.

In this way, Lao Wang couldn't see that the reason why ordinary people can't feel the strength of the young man in black, apart from his own intentional suppression, the main reason is that the young man in white is as forgiving as sea water.It was precisely such a peaceful and gentle person who downplayed the murderous aura of the young man in black.

The black and white two are of course Shen Tucheng and Gu Pan.Shentu City is keen to take Gu Panhao to wander around, sometimes famous rivers and mountains, sometimes scenic spots and historical sites, but more of them are little-known small villages and towns.

This time, the destination of the two people was Baozi Village, which was located in the southwest of G City. They couldn't find it on the map. It was so remote that only a few people would go to the nearest town.

Wang Lao was one of the few people Shen Tucheng took a lot of effort to find.

At this time, it was not completely dark yet, Gu Panhao looked around, wondering, "Why can't you see the house?" It's fine if you can't see anyone, it's too strange to not even have a house.

Lao Wang pointed forward: "Here, follow this, and you will be there in less than an hour!"

"Can you take us with you again?"

"Well, this..." Old Wang wiped off his sweat again, "It could have been possible..."

Seeing him hesitating, Gu Pan was not in a hurry, and asked in a good voice, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to make it back to town when it's too late?"

Shentucheng was not willing to let Gu Pan eat the dust for an hour, and said, "Why don't you stay in the village for one night, come back with us tomorrow, and double the money."

Lao Wang quickly waved his hand: "It's not about money."

Old Wang wiped his sweat heavily under Shentucheng's piercing gaze, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let me tell the truth, after eight o'clock in the evening, I will never go near Zouzi Village. I delivered it to you, but it’s almost seven o’clock now... Let alone me, no one in the town will take you there so late.” Then he persuaded, “I see you Don't go there either, follow me back to town, at most I'll send it over tomorrow morning."

Gu Pan was a little curious, and asked, "Is there anything special here?"

At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew past, Lao Wang shivered, looked around nervously, and said after a long time: "Here... in the area in front, people have died before!" His voice was unsteady. Big, somehow reverberating on the field and among the trees, it has a rather gloomy smell.

Gu Pan smiled and looked at Shentucheng, Shentucheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"I'm serious!" Lao Wang said mysteriously, "Don't believe it, you two, the elderly know this, but no one wants to mention it... The whole car is overturned! It’s not that this Zouzi Village was zoned out to our town many years ago. As soon as that happened, everyone in the town who could speak up gathered and protested for several days before the Zouzi Village was zoned out again.”

Gu Pan became interested: "So serious?"

"That's not it." Pharaoh moved closer, and whispered, "There is a teacher, eight students, and a driver in the small yellow van. There are ten people in it. It's a tragedy... Later, it's better." People have seen it around here..." Whispered and whispered, "That car. Just follow this road to Wangzhuzi Village!"

Lao Wang liked Gu Panhao very much, not only told everything he knew, but also murmured to Gu Panhao about his own doubts: "But it's strange to say that if you say you've seen that thing, it's an evil move." Isn’t it? If you hit something evil, something will happen, right? But those people who have met are all fine, but they don’t want to talk to anyone.”

As soon as the words fell, another gust of wind blew by.It was already dark, Lao Wang looked at his watch, took a deep breath, and stomped his feet anxiously, "Ah, ah, it's almost here. I really have to go, if I don't go, it will be too late." Saying that, he hurriedly got on the tricycle seat, "Can you two go away? I told you, don't be stubborn, come up quickly, it's useless to regret after something happens!"

Gu Pan smiled and waved at him: "We'd better go forward, be careful on the way back."

Old Wang sighed again and again, and opened his mouth to try to persuade him again, but seeing the expressions of those two people, he couldn't say anything.He patted the handlebar bitterly, pulled the motor, turned around and left.

Gu Panhao stood there and watched Lao Wang's back gradually go away, then turned around and said to Shen Tucheng: "Let's go."

Without saying a word, Shen Tucheng picked up all the luggage with one hand, and then led Gu Pan to move forward.Gu Panhao didn't try to compete with Shentucheng for the luggage, and there was no so-called "man's dignity" between him and Shentucheng.Shen Tucheng has plenty of strength, so let him resist if he likes to resist. At worst, when he feels tired, he will take over by himself—although, this situation has never happened so far.

Shen Tucheng didn't talk to Gu Panhao about absolute fairness, he has inexhaustible strength, and he can walk the Great Wall without panting with this little thing.He was reluctant to let Gu Panhao be burdened, no matter whether Gu Panhao was like him or not, he didn't take this weight seriously at all, this was his way of expressing his love for Gu Panhao.He is willing to take care of him to the last detail, and Gu Panhao's willingness to accept it is the best "return of love".In fact, Gu Panhao has always done this, never rejecting Shentucheng, no matter what method Shentucheng uses to express his love, Gu Panhao will accept it all.

There is no one in this world who understands and tolerates each other better than them.Shen Tucheng held Gu Pan and thought about it, how could he not be happy?How could such two people be unhappy!

The two walked unhurriedly, leisurely, a bit like walking on a moonlit night.Gu Panhao blinked at Shentucheng, and the corner of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc: "Maybe there is a ride."

Shen Tucheng was a little annoyed: "Don't look at me like that..."

Gu Panhao took the initiative to kiss Shentucheng's mouth. Shentucheng threw away the luggage in his hand, and was about to grab the back of Gu Panhao's head for a firm kiss when two beams of light shone from not far away.

"Here we come." Gu Pan laughed.Shen Tucheng cursed in a low voice, and had no choice but to bend down to pick up the luggage.

The car stopped in front of the two of them, and a woman protruded from the front window, with a stiff expression, but a very friendly tone: "Would you like to take you for a ride?"

Gu Pan smiled and replied: "Okay."

The woman retracted her head, and the door at the back slid open automatically. It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.Shen Tucheng stepped up first, and waited for a few seconds before pulling Gu Panhao up.

After entering the carriage, the two saw clearly that a group of children were sitting on the seats, all of them were seven or eight years old, wearing uniforms, with red scarves around their necks, their little hands on their knees, and they were extremely cute.Without counting, both Shentucheng and Gu Panhao knew that there were exactly eight children here.

The rear compartment was originally not big, but two adult men were squeezed into it all at once, and everyone was a little bit unable to stretch their arms and legs.Gu Panhao smiled at one of the little boys with the brightest eyes. The boy's face was blushing inch by inch, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "I... I'll give you my seat." After finishing speaking, he suddenly stood up squatted to the side.

Gu Pan smiled and thanked him, and while sitting down, he grabbed the little boy and put him on his lap.The boy exclaimed, and when he understood what happened, his ears and heels turned red all of a sudden.

Several children looked enviously at the trembling little boy in Gu Panhao's arms, while the rest looked at Shentu City with some expectation.Shen Tucheng snorted inexplicably, grabbed two of the children, and put one on his lap.

Gu Panhao smiled reassuringly at Shentucheng, lowered his head and asked the child in his arms: "My surname is so, I'm looking forward to it, good or bad, how about you?"

The boy whispered, "Chen Cheng."

"City..." Gu Pan took a good look at Shen Tucheng, "Which 'cheng'?"

"Honest sincerity."

"Well... good words."

"En." Gu Panhao's body smelled very pleasant, and his temperament was very gentle. Xiao Chen Cheng gradually became bolder, "My mother took it, which means that I want me to be an honest person."

"That's it...my mother...well, my mother, I hope I have a good life."

The two chatted like this.Shen Tucheng looked at Gu Panhao and Chen Cheng with displeasure, the more they chatted, the happier they were, their eyes were as sharp as a knife.But when he thought of the child's name and his own sound, and saw Gu Pan shouting "Xiaocheng" and "Chengcheng" frequently, he couldn't get angry for some reason.

"Brother." A child sitting on Shentucheng's lap called him.Shen Tucheng restrained his momentum and looked down at him.

Before the child said anything, a chubby little girl sitting next to him couldn't wait to shout: "Brother, you are so handsome!"

Shen Tucheng couldn't help laughing: "Thank you."

The little girl said roguely, "What?", and poked Shentu City from the air.

Shen Tucheng was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to react.Gu Pan laughed out loud.

Fortunately, the child on Shentucheng's lap had a problem and solved the problem: "Brother, are you going to Zouzi Village too?"

Shen Tucheng nodded.

The child got excited: "My home is in Zouzi Village, brother, come home with me, and I will ask my mother to prepare delicious food for you!"

Not to be outdone, the little girl said, "My family is also in Zouzi Village, my brother will follow me home!"

When the two children said this, the other children immediately lost their composure.

"My family too! I have ducklings!"

"My family has big fish!"

"My mom can make pancakes!"

"My dad can walk on stilts!"

"Brother come home with me!"

... All the children compared their property and family members.

Shentucheng was the worst at dealing with children, and kept hinting at Gu Panhao with his eyes, but Gu Panhao watched the children arguing with each other with a smile, and finally touched Chen Cheng's head, and passed a few candies over: " Let's eat."

Chen Cheng happily peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. Shen Tucheng followed Gu Panhao's example and touched the heads of the two children on his lap respectively, and took out the candy from his pocket.

The sugar pills kneaded from fine incense candles are inedible to living people.

The children chatted with the two of them while eating candy - the driver was Teacher Lu's boyfriend.

Teacher Lu is a good teacher.

Teacher Lu is very kind to us. Every Friday after school, he asks his boyfriend to drive us back to Zouzi Village.

So this is our school bus!

Teacher Lu promised his parents that he would send us home on time.

We don't want our parents to pick it up, we like Teacher Lu to send it off.

... The car drove very slowly, but finally stopped.

Gu Panhao sighed, Teacher Lu in the passenger seat leaned over to look at Shentucheng and Gu Panhao in the carriage: "Just get off here."

The two scavenged all the "sugars" on their bodies, distributed them to the children one by one, and touched their heads one by one.Shen Tucheng picked up his luggage, and jumped out of the car while holding Gu Panhao.

"Thank you."

Teacher Lu's face was still stiff, but both of them felt that she smiled very gently.

The children waved goodbye to the two reluctantly, and the yellow bread drove away.It is very close to Zouzi Village, less than 200 meters away, the outline of the village can be vaguely seen.

Boom!

50 meters away from Zouzi Village, the car overturned.

Shen Tucheng and Gu Pan watched silently from afar.

Teacher Lu is a good teacher. She promised that she would send the children home. For this promise, she worked hard day after day and never gave up.Shen Tucheng and Gu Pan could not help her.

The two stood there quietly. After a long time, Shen Tucheng whispered, "I should be called 'Cheng', but I made a mistake when I registered and changed it to 'Cheng'."

Gu Pan laughed amusedly, and clenched Shentucheng's hand a little more: "Some things happen, they are God's will, others can't help them. Some things are yours, you should cherish them."

"Yes."

The author has something to say: Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Let me explain the question about the van here. I don’t know if you have ever taken that yellow minivan. In some places, it is used as a bus (but it should be N years ago==).The seats in the back compartment are not arranged in rows like ordinary vans. The seats of that kind of car are along the circle of the iron sheet, with a space in the middle. When there are many people, they squat in the middle to squeeze.Although the car is not big, it can accommodate a lot of people together with the conductor.I remember that I went to elementary school in Yongkang for a year, and I took this kind of bus at that time, and I never saw it in other cities after that. I miss it very much.

So it is finally officially over, thank you for your support, bow.
