sunk in yesterday

"hiss--"

The back of Xia Zhuo's head hurt, and the pain of the trauma made him wake up instantly. After opening his eyes, he found himself in a wooden box.

This knock was not light, his whole body was dizzy, and his senses also became duller.After the tinnitus in his ears disappeared, he heard the gradually clear sound of horseshoes outside.

There was a stench of dust in the air. After getting used to the dark environment, he rubbed his head and silently looked around.

There is a half-covered window on the left and right sides, without too many decorations, this is a carriage moving forward.

Besides him, there was another person in this small space, occupying the position opposite him.The other party didn't wake up, his head was shaking with the bumps, a ponytail was tied behind his head, and he was dressed casually, so he should be a participant like him.

He opened the window a crack, looked outside, and what came into view was a dark forest.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and it fell on the ground and the roof of the car without a sound. There was only one oil lamp in front of the road, and I didn't know where it was going to take them.Suddenly, the wheel of the car ran over a raised stone, and the whole car body suddenly tilted to one side, and the woman on the other side woke up in fright, but she had no time to hold on, so she could only open her eyes wide and follow the inertia to go straight forward.

The interior of the car is very simple, there is not even a cushion on the seat, if it really hits the head and doesn't bloom, it will be bald.When Xia Zhuo reacted, her hand had already stopped her, and her head was slammed against the edge of the seat to protect her, and she gasped again due to the pain.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The woman hurriedly got up and checked his injuries.

Xia Zhuo retracted his hands into his sleeves, pushed her away, and used actions to express his resistance to her approach, "It's okay, just be careful."

Seeing his indifferent attitude, the woman also sat back down again, her face full of apology: "I'm really sorry, I just woke up, thank you little brother, if you didn't cushion me, I might be dead now. "

Xia Zhuo nodded: "So don't worry about it. I don't know how long the car will stop. I just don't want to be in the same room with a dead body."

"I know you did it unintentionally, but it's true that you saved me. My name is Zhao Xiaomeng, what's my brother's name?"

"Xia Ming."

After Xia Zhuo finished speaking, he closed his eyes, not giving anyone a chance to continue talking.He was still a little dizzy, and he didn't know if it was because Guan Yuzhou made him sleep every time it rained. Now he would feel sleepy involuntarily when he encountered such a humid rainy day.

Seeing that he had rested, Zhao Xiaomeng shut up consciously, and the surroundings returned to the previous tranquility.She looked at the young man on the opposite side with the faint light. She looked two or three years younger than her. The lines of her face were very soft, and she looked very friendly. Especially when those eyes were opened, it made people really uncomfortable. No vigilance, but the more you look at it, the more you like it, but it seems that your personality is relatively cold, and it doesn't seem to be easy to approach.

Although she closed her eyes, Xia Zhuo didn't really relax and fell asleep.He felt that Youdao was looking at him all the time, but he didn't care much, he just thought that it would be great if the person in the same car as him was Guan Yuzhou.If it was Guan Yuzhou, he would definitely be hugged into his arms at this time, how could he use this ugly seat to be wronged.

The window was not closed, and the rain-carrying wind blew off the dead leaves on the treetops, circling and fluttering in the air, and finally landed on his shoulders, leaving a small wet mark in a short while.

A trace of coolness penetrated into his heart, so cold that he sneezed.

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this, so close the windows first."

Zhao Xiaomeng was a little worried, and reached out to close the window for him.At this moment, the carriage stopped.The coachman in front approached with a lamp, and built a small ladder under the carriage, "Master, Miss, the Tuping Village you two are looking for is just ahead."

The experience of being called a son in modern clothes is a bit novel, like a role-playing in an unprofessional theater.Xia Zhuo leaned on the car door and looked out. There is no village here, only a gloomy forest.

"Where is the village?" He looked suspiciously, "Don't fool us, do you?"

The coachman smiled and said: "My lord, you don't know something. If you go any further, you won't be able to get out of the car. It's not a coincidence that you came here. If you don't want to travel at night, you can rest in the inn next to you for a night, and then go on your way after dawn. "

"Really?"

"It's true!" The coachman explained in a panic: "The government has been so strict in the past two years, how dare you lie to your pocket for a small one? The small ones are telling the truth, whoever pulls you here, the furthest Send it here."

"All right, all right." Xia Zhuo pretended to let him go, and was about to get out of the car when a hand suddenly stretched out from the side.

He looked up and saw a tall figure standing by the car door at some point, looking at him with a smile.He didn't care about the stairs immediately, he jumped up and rushed over, "Teacher Guan!"

Guan Yuzhou caught him firmly, and Xia Zhuo put her legs around his waist with a smile, put her arms around his neck and said, "No, shouldn't it be called 'Guan Gongzi' now?"

Guan Yuzhou dragged his butt, "What else? You come so late every time."

Xia Zhuo freed a hand to shield the rain, and retorted softly: "It's not that I thought it was so late." He turned his head and said, "It's all because the carriage is too slow."

Guan Yuzhou looked over with him, his long and narrow eyes remained unchanged, but the coachman couldn't stop shaking, "Oh, my son, you have wronged me so much. The road here in Tuping Village has always been rough. No matter how fast you It's not comfortable for you to sit, the small one is for the sake of your two bodies... You see, I also sent you and the girl safely, the small one will go back soon."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Xia Zhuo was in a good mood now, and he stopped teasing the aborigines, and waved his hand mercifully, "You go."

"Okay, I wish you all the best!" The coachman returned to the driver's seat with the lamp in hand, turned around and left.

The "crack" sound of the horse's hoof gradually disappeared, and Guan Yuzhou put Xia Zhuo down.Zhao Xiaomeng looked at them with some astonishment, as if a certain idea had been subverted in a short period of time just now, Guan Yuzhou glanced at them, he smiled slightly, and then asked Xia Zhuo kindly: "It seems that you already know each other?"

The woman over there nodded subconsciously, but Xia Zhuo shook her head like a rattle.

"Are you friends with this little brother? He was injured in the car just now to save me. I'm really grateful."

"So warm-hearted?" Guan Yuzhou looked back with a chuckle, his voice was as light as the wind around him, "And you hurt yourself?"

Xia Zhuo quickly retracted her numb hands, "No!"

"I don't know if it's bleeding or not." Zhao Xiaomeng didn't notice the flash between the two of them at all, and took out the props on her own: "I have bandages and red medicine here, please accept them if you don't mind."

"No need." Guan Yuzhou grabbed the person and walked to the house on the other side.

Zhao Xiaomeng thought that they were trying to evade them with good intentions, or that they were worried that there was something wrong with the things she took, so she held the things and chased after them for two steps, "They are all small things, not enough to repay the favor at all, so I accept it..."

Guan Yuzhou half-closed his eyes and turned his head to the side, as if he had completely lost his patience, "Take care of yourself."

Zhao Xiaomeng was taken aback, and was fixed in place by the gloomy eyes. She could only watch the two walking side by side to the gray house not far away, with all kinds of coquettish voices from the young people mixed in.

Xia Zhuo is really trying to act like a baby.

"I was just careless! I didn't pay attention! I saved her by accident!" He tried to dispel the displeasure on the man's body, and pitifully took his hand and put it on his head, "Touch and see Is there a big bag? I hit my head, I was not smart at first, and now I am going to be stupid again, and you are still angry with me..."

Guan Yuzhou rubbed, and indeed touched a little drum surface.Although his expression was uneasy, his movements were restrained very gently, "Is it hurt here?"

"No." Xia Zhuo stretched out his red and swollen right hand, the skin on the back of the hand was scratched, and the willow had already sprouted.

Guan Yuzhou took a look and frowned, "Just not looking at you for a while, and you caused so many injuries?"

"That's why I'm all injured, and you're still angry with me!" Xia Zhuo puffed up his face, and it made sense to replace him now.

Guan Yuzhou was helpless, "I'm not angry with you."

"Then you were so fierce just now!"

"My fault."

Xia Zhuo was satisfied, "Actually, it doesn't hurt much."

"I'll bandage it for you later, go in and have a look first."

Although the coachman just mentioned that this is an inn, it is really hard to see from the outside, it is more like a three-story wooden dangerous building.The building body is slightly tilted, the high-hanging guise has been soaked and faded, and a decaying and damp smell can be smelled near the door. The tables and chairs in the lobby have long since disappeared. I don’t know how long this place has been abandoned.

"It's so dark..." Xia Zhuo muttered softly, touched the flashlight and was about to turn it on, but a beam of light had already shone on his face.A few figures stood above the stairs, watching the movement downstairs tremblingly, and they were relieved after seeing them dressed up.One of the girls was wearing a long skirt, and next to him were two young men in T-shirts and sneakers.

"I'm sorry, did I miss you." The girl's voice was small, with a sense of trepidation, but it was still clearly heard by Xia Zhuo through the narrow corridor.

Xia Zhuo said truthfully: "It's a bit."

"Sorry, I thought it was a ghost or something."

"It's okay, don't take pictures in people's eyes next time."

After they entered the inn, Zhao Xiaomeng soon followed.There was a strange face, and after hearing the movement, another person came down from upstairs one after another.Everyone looked at each other, and one of them suggested: "It seems that we have to spend the night here. Since we are going to get along in the same building, why not introduce yourself."

The person who proposed had a beard, which reminded Xia Zhuo of Uncle Yang.He said first, "My name is Kong Man, and I'm an engineer."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent, and the others followed suit and briefly introduced themselves.The girl in the long skirt is called Liu Qianyu, the thinner of the two men is called Meng Tianhua, and the fatter one is called Shen Wei.

Xia Zhuo said generously: "My name is Xia Ming, and I am a student." Guan Yuzhou followed suit: "Guan Qiang, Xia Ming's tutor."

Everyone: "...?" Why are the names more casual than the other!

Guan Yuzhou's expression was normal, and he didn't seem to be lying.

This... Although the name sounded like it was made up, but judging from his appearance, it seemed... Could it be true?This handsome teacher is really called Guan Qiang?

After the unanimous silence, Liu Qianyu chatted with Xia Zhuo: "Are you also a graduate student?"

"Graduate student?" Xia Zhuo seemed to be lost in memory, "Ah, no, that was eight years ago, and I was studying for a Ph.D."

Liu Qianyu was stunned for a moment, "But you don't look too old."

"Well, I went to college at the age of 13." Xia Zhuo sighed amidst the shocked eyes, "It's too good, there's nothing I can do about it."

Everyone turned their attention to the man next to him one after another: "Then he..." He became a doctoral supervisor at such a young age? !

Guan Yuzhou was as good as he was, and said with bent lips: "The student is too good, there is nothing I can do."

What's the matter with your students!You are outrageous!
