strange neighbor

This episode was forgotten by Ding Shijin, the girl really kept her promise and didn't send him a message, because she didn't want to lose face in front of her friends, so she insisted on adding his WeChat.

The phone number from Jiangcheng didn't ring again, and his life became peaceful again, and he didn't have to stay up late when he wasn't working.

When Ding Shijin sleeps, his phone is usually on silent mode, and no one can contact him, but today he woke up because he forgot to lock the phone screen down before going to sleep, and the bright light when the call came woke him up.

Picking up the phone and taking a look, the note reads 'the most handsome A Duo'.

?

God damn the most handsome A Duo, Ding Shijin really didn't know when this person saved his number in his mobile phone, and even took such a shameless note, he pressed the red button with his finger, turned over and planned to continue I went to sleep, but within two seconds of closing my eyes, the phone screen lit up again.

"You'd better be really busy." Ding Shijin said coldly while sitting on the head of the bed.

"Huh—huh—" No one spoke on the other side of the microphone, only the whistling wind.

Ding Shijin frowned: "Hello?"

"Huh-huh--" There was a sudden bang of a heavy object falling to the ground, and it took a few seconds for the voice to speak: "Hu Jicun...cough cough cough..."

He listened to the hoarse voice of the person on the other end of the phone. After barely saying these words, the phone hung up, making people confused. He didn't want to care about it, but it seemed that the situation was not good. With a frown on his forehead, he sat up resignedly, then turned on his phone and started booking tickets.

Treat it as paying back what you saved me last time.

After searching for a long time, he found that Huji Village is a remote small village in the west. The earliest flight to the west was at 06:30 in the morning, and it was already [-]:[-]. Running to the airport, Ding Shijin's home was still some distance away from the airport. When he arrived at the airport, the security check had already begun. He didn't take a breath until he got on the plane.

The plane took four hours to fly, and he started to catch up on sleep after getting on the plane. He didn't even eat the plane meal given by the flight attendant. After getting off the plane, he took a bus to the town, and finally went to the village in the bullock cart of the next door village. village.

At night, the temperature difference here is very large. Ding Shijin took out a coat from his backpack and put it on. The villagers laughed when they saw Ding Shijin put on the clothes, and asked in unproficient Mandarin: "Are young people not used to spreading?"

"Well, it's a little cold."

"It will be sooner or later, especially recently when Allah is angry and punishes everyone. It snowed two nights ago."

"Snow?" Ding Shijin repeated.

The villagers looked serious: "Yes, yes, I don't know which villain has offended Allah, so it will snow in September to punish everyone."

The people in the west are simple and honest, and they believe in their God very much. They explain all unusual phenomena by saying that God is angry or that God is rewarding everyone.

The villagers parked their ox carts at the entrance of the village. The small village is very remote and there is no street light: "Oh, it's dangerous to go to Huji Village so late. Go to my house for one night and go tomorrow morning!"

Ding Shijin politely declined the villager's offer. He didn't know if that guy was dead or alive, so there was no delay.

Seeing Ding Shijin's stubborn look, the villagers shook their heads helplessly, and drove away with the ox cart.

Ding Shijin put his backpack on his back, took out his flashlight and trekking poles, and walked along the path. The western region is sparsely populated. Although the two villages are called neighbors, they are not actually adjacent. He has to climb a mountain to get there. Huji Village.

It was late at night, and the temperature in the mountains was even lower. He pulled the zipper of his jacket to the highest position, and set out on the road by the light of the moonlight and the flashlight. The small village was so remote that Ding Shijin reluctantly took the easier path, but the road under his feet The dirt road was still full of potholes, occasionally mixed with the sand laid by the villagers themselves. I accidentally kicked a small stone with my toe, bounced off the ground and fell into the grass, making a rustling sound.

He took a breath, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was 02:30 in the morning, and he had been walking for more than half an hour. The mountain road was more difficult to walk than expected. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward. Snowflakes began to float sporadically in the sky. This was the punishment from Allah that the villager said.

The snow was getting heavier, and the wind was getting stronger as he went up, blowing him almost blind, and scratched his face like a knife, but he couldn't stop, once he stopped, he might lose his way, and he would freeze to death here on the hill.

Jiang Duo, you better really be unable to bear it anymore, or I will beat you half to death first!

Ding Shijin walked with trekking poles. The climate in the west is indeed more changeable than that in the interior, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively common, but everything is based on rationality. Obviously, the current weather is not reasonable, and it is only September in the interior. , the weather is a little cooler, how can it be as cold as winter here?

'Huh—' A gust of wind blew by, and it seemed that something floated behind him.

Ding Shijin noticed it, but he only paused for a while, then pretended he didn't feel anything and continued walking.

After walking for a long time, the silhouette of Hu Jicun could already be seen indistinctly. He got up to 12 points and paid attention to the movement around him vigilantly.

Suddenly there was a soft sobbing sound, as if someone was injured, Ding Shijin didn't stop, and continued to walk in the direction of Hu Ji Village, the sobbing sound was gradually left behind by him, but after a while , There was another soft cry from the front left.

Ding Shijin pretended not to hear it, and didn't pay any attention to the voice, but walked towards the goal firmly. Fortunately, the voice just kept making some noise around him, and nothing happened. Substantially troubled, after going down the mountain, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Duo's number.

There was no answer twice in a row, and finally when the third call was made, someone picked up the phone: "Hello."

It was a crisp female voice, not Jiang Duo.

"I'm looking for the owner of the phone."

Then he heard the silence on the other end of the phone for a while, followed by the local dialect quickly, and after a while, the girl spoke again: "Mr. Jiang, I'm injured, come here, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village."

From a distance, Ding Shijin saw the girl waiting at the entrance of the village, wearing a minority costume, with a beautiful chain on her forehead, and two braids hanging down her side. The two returned home without talking.

The girl led him to the room where Jiang Duo was. There was a pot of fire in the middle of the floor. The burning room was warm. Jiang Duo was lying on the kang and sleeping under a quilt. His lips were abnormally pale, but his cheeks were pale. But red.

"What happened to him?" Ding Shijin asked.

The girl shook her head: "I don't know, there is a large wound on the back, as if caught by a wild animal."

"Okay, thank you." Ding Shijin said politely.

With shyness on her face, the girl quickly waved her hands: "I'll hug another quilt for you later, and you can sleep here tonight."

After speaking, she went out.

Ding Shijin took off his backpack, pulled the only small chair in the room and started to warm up by the fire. When his hands were warm, he stood up and walked to Jiang Duo, and touched his forehead with the back of his hand.

have a fever.

Perhaps feeling the different temperature, Jiang Duo woke up with his eyelids moving.

"Are you here?" His voice was hoarse and abnormal.

Ding Shijin withdrew his hand and looked at him with lowered eyelids: "Well, I'm here to collect your body."

"It's so cruel... Cough cough cough..." He grinned, and then coughed.

Even though he said so, Ding Shijin still poured him a glass of water: "Do you want to drink?"

Jiang Duo nodded, instead of holding the cup himself, he just drank from Ding Shijin's hand in that awkward posture.

"The hand is also disabled?"

Jiang Duo lay down again after drinking the water: "No, I just want you to serve me."

Ding Shijin put the cup back without saying a word: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Been fucked."

"I didn't come all this way to hear your three words." Ding Shijin looked at him sharply.

Jiang Duo smiled wryly: Yes, he is really sick, why did he call him in a daze and ask him to come over?In fact, even after hanging up the phone, he didn't expect Ding Shijin to really come, so he was shocked to see Ding Shijin standing in front of him in a snowstorm, and now his heart is still turbulent: " I don't know where to start..."

"Then start from scratch."

Jiang Duo lowered his head slightly and remained silent for a while before speaking: "I am an orphan, I was brought up by my master and mother, but three years ago my master suddenly disappeared, without leaving a single word."

"So you're looking for your master?"

"Well, I can feel that my master is still alive, and occasionally I can feel his breath in some things, so..."

Jiang Duo didn't continue to talk, and he didn't even explain what it was about 'some things', but Ding Shijin understood: "You also went to see your master at Liu Guoxiong's place last time, so how did you get hurt this time? of?"

Jiang Duo nodded, and then replied with some hesitation: "...I don't know."

Ding Shijin frowned: "I don't know?"

Jiang Duo tilted his head back and leaned against the wall: "Yes, I sensed Master's breath here, so I chased after him, but I was ambushed, the snow was too heavy, I couldn't see clearly, and its speed was too slow. Soon, by the time I realized it, I was already injured."

I didn't expect that thing to be so powerful that I don't even know how it can hurt Jiang Duo. It seems very tricky...

"However," he still leaned against the wall, squinted at Ding Shijin, and smiled, "I really didn't expect you to come."

Ding Shijin snorted with his nose: "I will pay you back the favor."

The fire in the brazier was still burning and crackling, and the two of them fell silent for a moment.

"Go to sleep, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Duo sighed, and lay down first after speaking.

The little girl had already delivered the quilt, and Ding Shijin spread it himself and lay down.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright, the snow outside had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly.

Ding Shijin stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Duo's forehead again, and found that the fever had subsided. He sat up and looked out the window. He came too late last night and only saw the little girl alone. After thinking about it, he dressed and went out Yes, it happened that the little girl's parents were there.

The little girl was sitting in the yard mixing feed, her two braids were hanging behind her waist, swaying with her movements, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned her head and saw Ding Shijin standing at the door, she wiped her hands and stood up speaking in unproficient Chinese He asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Ding Shijin nodded: "It's very warm."

She laughed when she heard Ding Shijin's answer. It happened that her father came in from the yard leading the horse. Ding Shijin thought for a while and walked up to talk to his father.

"I arrived too late yesterday, I don't know if I've disturbed you."

The people in the west are very simple and kind, so they quickly waved their hands: "No, no, breakfast is on the table. Let Zhuoma take you to dinner."

"Thank you."

Breakfast is a local specialty. There are several kinds of buttered tea and tsampa on the table. Ding Shijin sat down at the table, and Zhuoma sat across from him with big eyes blinking and looked at him. Ding Shijin has very little experience in dealing with people. , but after all, it was the girl's family who saved Jiang Duo. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he should say a few words. Thinking of this, he cleared his throat: "When I came yesterday, I found that it was snowing in the middle of the night."

Dolma snorted, "The weather is weird. It was normal last week, but it started snowing this week."

"Yesterday I came in a car from a fellow villager. He said it was because Allah was punishing the bad guys."

Dolma played with one of her braids: "It's true, Allah must be punishing the bad guys, I tell you...":
