God said I would meet you

A few days later.

Pulling his whitewashed navy blue cloth bag, Lalong waited by the side of the wide dusty dirt road halfway up the mountain.

Occasionally, a trembling tractor passed by emitting black smoke, and the grooved wheels kicked up waves of choking dust.

He waited for about 10 minutes, and finally saw Lin Jinyu with a waist bag slung over his body, a skateboard bag in his hand, and Zhang Xinli pushing their heads out from the horizon at the top of the slope.

"What are you doing with so many hats?" Zhang Xinli asked.

Lin Jinyu was wearing a light pink baseball cap, with the silhouette of a leaping silver cougar printed on the center of the cap.He also buttoned a black one on Zhang Xinli's head, leaving a white one in his hand.

"I don't know either," Lin Jinyu said while tossing the white hat, "I wanted to change it, but in the end I took all of them. It's not right, one for each person, so as not to be exposed to the sun."

"Brother Jinyu!" Lalong waved at them.

Lin Jinyu also saw Lalong, and he also raised his hand and waved at Lalong.La Long ran towards them, and stood beside Lin Jinyu.

"Waiting for a long time?" Lin Jinyu put her hat on Lalong's forehead and said, "Go ahead, wear this, it's for sun protection."

"Fortunately, it won't be long," Laron said.

The hat was too big for his head circumference, so Lin Jinyu helped him adjust the buttons on the back of his head.

The final list of this travel invitation is the three of them. The other people have something to do at home, so they can't just hang out with them.In fact, Zhang Xinli's family may not be fine, it's just that Zhang's father gave them a vacation.

"Okay," Lin Jinyu adjusted the size of the dragon hat, retracted her hand in satisfaction, and said, "It shouldn't be too big."

La Long laughed and said, "Brother Jinyu, does it look good on me?"

Lin Jinyu embraced him, and the three of them lined up in a row of stairs along their height, and walked forward side by side: "It looks good," he said, "Do you think I look good, will pink look like a girl?"

Laron turned his head, looked at him carefully for a few seconds, and then said, "Not at all, very handsome."

"Wow, you can talk so well." Lin Jinyu was very happy to be praised by his little brother. He took out a few lollipops from his bag, asked La Long to pick one, and then peeled one and put it in his mouth , and handed it to Zhang Xinli for him to choose.

"I don't eat," Zhang Xinli said, "I don't like sweet things."

"Oh, that's it." Lin Jinyu took it back, rolled his eyes, and suddenly pulled Zhang Xinli over, and said to La Long, "La Long! Look at me or your brother Zhang Xinli, who is more handsome?"

With a lollipop in his mouth, Lalong stared at the two of them, turning his eyeballs to the left and right, "Hmm..." for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "You are both handsome."

"No way," Lin Jinyu put his arms around him, and said, "We must compare ourselves to one another."

"Then... just..." Lalong looked at Zhang Xinli for a while and Lin Jinyu for a while, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and his face looked tangled.

Lin Jinyu was so happy to see that expression, wow, so this is the fun of amusing children, I love it.

In the end, Zhang Xinli said, "La Long, don't talk to him," he said, "Narcissism."

"Cut," Lin Jinyu said, "You're so boring." He asked Lalong, "Is your brother's school far away? How long do we have to go?"

"It's a bit far away. In the town, my brother usually lives on campus." Lalong said.

"Go straight along this road, and then take the bus to the town," Zhang Xinli said. "After getting off the bus, it's a short walk. It's about an hour or so if you don't count the waiting for the bus."

That still seems a bit far away, Lin Jinyu thought.

The three of them chatted one after another as they walked, and after a while, they reached the concrete road, and a bus just happened to come, Zhang Xinli paid, and they sat on it without any problems.

Lin Jinyu doesn't know how to define this kind of transportation. It is actually a van, but it has assumed the function of a bus. Head counts money, get off at the station.

There is not much space in the car, and it is crowded with people.Although the window was half open, there was still an unpleasant gasoline smell in the car.

There are basically people sitting on the seats, most of them are uncles in their 40s and uncles in their [-]s and [-]s. There are very few women, and there are one or two middle-aged women with big arms and round waists scattered among the group of old men.

Lin Jinyu spotted a vacant single seat by the window, and ordered La Long to sit there.

La Long was a little embarrassed to sit alone, and gave way a few times, Lin Jinyu said: "Hurry up, you are young, go sit, don't talk nonsense."

La Long went over and sat down, leaving Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli squeezed between the narrow seats, each leaning on the back of the chair to avoid falling down.

At the next stop, people got off one after another, but even more people came up.There was a row of seats on the side of Zhang Xinli's station for the couple. When they arrived at the station and got off together, Lin Jinyu moved over, and the two of them took over the vacant seats left by them and sat in the same row.

Zhang Xinli opened the car window, and the wind from the speeding car rushed in through the car window in an instant, dispelling the gasoline smell lingering in his nose.

"Are you motion sick?" Zhang Xinli turned his head and asked him.

"It's okay." Lin Jinyu replied.When he goes to and from school, he always drives at home, and he has long been used to riding in the car, but his dad's car smells much better than this, and the smell of gasoline makes him feel a little nauseous.

Especially on this section of winding mountain road, the driver twisted the steering wheel so that he could go up to the sky, and people swayed left and right in the car. The shorter the time, the better, but the longer the time, it would take a battle-hardened warrior to hold back.

Zhang Xinli saw him leaning on the backrest with his eyes closed, looking uncomfortable, got up and said, "Get up, change seats." He said, "You sit by the window."

"No need," Lin Jinyu said, "The wind can also blow here."

"Hurry up," Zhang Xinli said, "Don't dawdle."

"Aren't you motion sick?" Lin Jinyu asked.

"Not dizzy." Zhang Xinli said.

So Lin Jinyu changed seats with him with a lollipop in her mouth.Fresh air poured in continuously from the window, and the pungent gasoline smell could not be smelled at all. The nausea in Lin Jinyu's heart was gradually suppressed. He leaned his elbows on the window sill and looked at the undulating mountain ridge outside the window The lines quickly receded to both sides like undulating water waves.

The van shook left and right, and finally drove to the next stop.

Arrive at the station, get off, get on.

Lin Jinyu was tired from looking at the scenery. She was putting her baseball cap on her face to block the light, closing her eyes and resting her mind when she suddenly felt Zhang Xinli move beside her.

He took off his hat and saw Zhang Xinli standing up, beckoning forward, and said something in the dialect of Liangshan.

At this time, the small van was full of people, and the car was filled with a strange smell of smoke, gasoline, and sweat.

Following Zhang Xinli's shout, the crowded crowd stirred up, and the crowd squeezed in the gap in the aisle squeezed to both sides, temporarily moving a narrow gap, and an old man with all white hair and hobbled steps walked along the gap. Squeezing to Zhang Xinli's side, he said something to Zhang Xinli with a voice full of phlegm.

Zhang Xinli gave up his seat sideways and gestured for the old man to sit.

The old man sat down, raised his head and kept talking, apparently to thank him.

Zhang Xinli talked to him in a low voice, but Lin Jinyu couldn't understand what he said, and guessed from the old man's reaction that it was for him to sit at ease, no thanks.

The uncle was wearing an old green T-shirt with a dry arm stretching out from the sleeve and grabbing the back of the seat in front of him.His skinny arms were next to Lin Jinyu's, and he exuded an old man's unique smell... That kind of old man's smell reminded Lin Jinyu of peanuts and grandma's wool balls.

He looked up at Zhang Xinli, who was standing in the aisle, leaning on the backrest, indicating that it was nothing to do with him, just sit down.

Lin Jinyu had no choice but to turn her head and sit obediently.Changing a stranger by his side made him a little uncomfortable, and his whole body froze.He quietly squinted at the old man who had just sat down next to him, and the old man just leaned on the backrest and looked ahead blankly.

The space in the car was inherently small, and the row Lin Jinyu was sitting in was connected together, with no armrests in the middle, and the old man sat inside, so he could only rub shoulders and touch hands with the old man's shoulders.

This distance made him feel very cramped, Lin Jinyu shrunk in, raised his hands and placed them on his knees.He thought about not sitting up and standing up, and wondered if it would be too strange to do this all of a sudden.

He could no longer relax on the back of the chair. Lin Jinyu straightened his back and pretended to turn his head to look out of the window. In fact, every cell in his body felt uncomfortable. He suffered in such a restless atmosphere for more than ten minutes, and finally waited for the car. On to the next stop.

The people in the car began to flow again, Lin Jinyu turned her head to look at the door, and saw an old lady getting into the car with a heavy sack on her back, struggling to squeeze through the crowd.

When she moved near Lin Jinyu, Lin Jinyu immediately stood up and greeted her in Mandarin, "Grandma, come here."

All the people in the car looked at him instantly. Lin Jinyu was not used to this kind of gaze, and felt very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

The old lady opened her toothless mouth in surprise and joy, thanked him in very non-standard Mandarin, put down the burlap bag on her shoulder, and stuffed it under the seat.

Lin Jinyu stepped sideways and squeezed out of the sack with difficulty, letting the old lady in and sit down.Halfway through the squeeze, he remembered the skateboard he had put on the backrest, and wanted to go back to get it, but the old lady waved her hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

"It's okay, I'm holding, I'm holding Ga."

Lin Jinyu thanked her, and then squeezed out.The aisle was already narrow enough to pass two people sideways, but it was already full of people standing at this moment, and there was no room for another person to be squeezed in.Lin Jinyu squeezed out of the seat with great difficulty, but she had nowhere to grab her hands. She was supported by the inertia of her weight, and when she was turning, she was thrown from side to side and bumped into others.

"You don't have to let me go." Lin Jinyu heard Zhang Xinli turn his head and whisper to him.

"Didn't you let it go too?" Lin Jinyu replied.

"I let it go because I have a place to stand." Zhang Xinli said.

"Oh," Lin Jinyu said, "do you know that old man?"

Zhang Xinli shook his head: "I don't know."

"I don't know that old lady either." Lin Jinyu said.

It was another sharp turn, and Lin Jinyu was busy talking to Zhang Xinli. She was unprepared for the car turning suddenly, and was instantly thrown by the inertia. It hit someone with a "bang", and almost lost her nose.

"Hiss..." He managed to return to his original position, and before he could recover, the driver made another big roundabout, turning the steering wheel like a screw.

This time, Zhang Xinli grabbed Lin Jinyu quickly and avoided another collision. He said to Lin Jinyu, "Lean on me."
