fake god

The agricultural tricycle drove fast all the way, carrying dust and hundreds of catties of oranges, and parked steadily at the gate of Miaomiaowu Orchard.On the road from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the forest guard, Grandpa, drove the tricycle out of the posture of a four-wheel drive vehicle. The car had already arrived at the destination before the dry smoke in his mouth tasted.

As soon as the car stopped, Lu Ping jumped out of the car impatiently.The injury on his knee hadn't healed yet, and when he landed, his legs went limp, and he quickly supported the handrail beside the car to stabilize his body.

Grandpa the forest guard said, "Why are you so frizzy? There are no wolves chasing you."

Lu Ping has a hard time saying: There are indeed no wolves on the tricycle, but there is Shen Yuze who is eyeing him and stroking his ass.

Shen Yuze took a long leg and got out of the car behind him. Shen Yuze asked the forest guard: "Grandpa, do you have any medicine? He fell on the mountain just now and needs to be disinfected."

"Yes, yes, there is water over there, you go to wash the wound first, and I will go back to the house to get the medicine."

In order to prevent wild animals and passers-by from going up the mountain to steal fruit, the forest guard and his wife stay in the orchard all the year round, and the small courtyard next to the gate of the orchard is their residence.Although the yard is simple, it has all the necessary things.Lu Ping limped and went to the toilet to wash his wounds. Fortunately, he was wearing sweatpants today. The trouser legs were loose enough to be rolled up to his thighs. If he was wearing jeans, he would have to take off the trousers from above.

He was not seriously injured, just a slight scratch. Although it looked bruised and purple, it was actually only a little bit of oily skin, and a little bit of blood oozing.Lu Ping has never experienced anything since he was a child. This little injury can be healed by being blown by the wind.

But Shen Yuze stared at the bruises on his knees, slowly frowned, holding a medicine box in his hand, and insisted on giving Lu Ping medicine.

Lu Ping thought it was troublesome, but his protest was ruthlessly suppressed by Shen Yuze.

"You have two choices. First, be obedient, find a place to sit down, and I'll give you medicine." Shen Yuze said, "Second, quarrel with me. After you lose the quarrel, proceed to the above steps."

Lu Ping: "......... May I ask what is the difference between these two options?"

"Of course there is." Shen Yuze smiled coldly, "The second choice will make me feel bad, and I won't stop even if you call it painful when I take the medicine."

—Where did this tyrant come from?

Lu Ping knew that his words were not sharp enough, and he would never be able to say no to Shen Yuze, so he could only be forced to compromise, and sat directly on the steps at the entrance of the small courtyard.

He stretched his legs forward and said deliberately: "Come on, give Dad the medicine."

He grandiosely took advantage of Shen Yuze's words, Shen Yuze raised his eyebrows: "Lu Ping, don't you know how to write the word polite?"

So Lu Ping put it in a polite way: "Come on, 'please' give Dad the medicine."

"..." Shen Yuze was angry and funny at the same time.He squatted down beside Lu Ping, and while observing the scratches on Lu Ping's knees, he told Lu Ping: "Are you sure you want to be my father? He is 68 years old this year, and he is an old man."

"???" Lu Ping was shocked, "Are you kidding me? How old are you?"

Lu Ping's grandfather is not yet 68.

Shen Yuze looked down for the medicine he needed in the medicine box, and replied casually: "When my mother married him, he was already 50 years old, and that was his third marriage."

When saying these words, Shen Yuze's tone was exceptionally calm, because he had already passed the stage of suffering and confusion about these things, he could not choose his own background, he could only accept it.

Before today, Lu Ping only knew that Shen Yuze's family was unhappy, but he didn't know that Shen Yuze's family background was so complicated.A father in his twilight years, a hysterical mother, a seductive young lover... For Lu Ping, whose family relationship is extremely simple, everything that comes from Shen Yuze's mouth is beyond his imagination.

He realized again that Shen Yuze and him belonged to two completely different worlds.

He stared at Shen Yuze who was squatting down on one knee in front of him, and suddenly wanted to reach out and rub the boy's hair, or go a step further and hug him.But Lu Ping was afraid that he would go too far and make Shen Yuze feel that he was pitying him.

Shen Yuze didn't know the entanglement in Lu Ping's heart. He found the bottle of medicine he was looking for from the medicine box, raised his head and said, "Here is a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao. It might hurt when you spray it on. You..."

He stopped before he finished speaking, because he found that Lu Ping's hand was frozen in mid-air, only a few centimeters away from himself.

Shen Yuze: "?"

Lu Ping: "Uh, haha, there was a mosquito just now, I'll chase it away."

He made a gesture of waving, and abruptly moved his hand away from Shen Yuze's head.

Shen Yuze was dubious: "It's already November, and there are still mosquitoes?"

"We are warm in the south, and mosquitoes live long." Lu Ping can only make up this way.

Fortunately, Shen Yuze didn't continue to question, and turned his gaze back to Lu Ping's wound.

The sweatpants were rolled up above the boy's knees, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs, and there were bruises and purple marks on the knees.Shen Yuze gently supported his calf with one hand, shook the spray evenly with the other hand, and pressed the top of the bottle. In the next second, the cold medicine was sprayed on Lu Ping's wound, and at the same time, a strong medicinal liquid The smell is in the air.

"Hiss—" Lu Ping gasped. He had an open abrasion on his leg, and the pain made him tremble all over when he touched the liquid medicine, and shivered for several seconds.

Shen Yuze asked softly: "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay..." Lu Ping said truthfully, "...it hurts when I first sprayed it on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuze, who was kneeling beside him on one knee, suddenly bent down and blew gently on his knee.

This action was completely beyond Lu Ping's expectations. The boy's warm breath sprayed on his newly injured knee, and the trembling sensation was far superior to others.

Lu Ping trembled all over, but this time it was definitely not because of pain. "Blow on the wound, the pain will fly away", such a ridiculous mantra was originally only believed by children; but now, the dull pain that was lingering in the knee has really disappeared, replaced by a kind of electric numbness.

Shen Yuze... seems to have magic.

Lu Ping stared at the young man who hurt him. From his perspective, he couldn't see Shen Yuze's expression clearly, only his downcast eyes.

Come on, it's a foul for him to be so gentle.

……

Before the sun went down, the girls finally came down from the mountain.They were all of the same age, and Meng Xin, who was the oldest, was a little strange when they first met, but after an afternoon of getting along, the relationship quickly became harmonious.

Meng Xin originally wanted to greet Lu Ping about his injuries, but when her eyes fell on Lu Ping's bare-exposed legs, her words took a sharp turn: "——Lu Ping, your legs are so white!"

Lu Ping: "...?"

The liquid medicine on his knees hadn't dried yet, and he didn't want to rub his sweatpants, so he kept his trouser legs rolled up above his knees. He didn't expect such a seemingly ordinary behavior to make him be targeted by girls up.

Hearing Meng Xin's words, all the girls present cast their eyes on Lu Ping's legs.It was incredible to see this, and the girls suddenly found that Lu Ping's legs were really thin and white, and his tibia was slender, straight and beautiful!

"Lu Ping, how do you exercise? I have a little calf eversion, but your legs are beautiful."

"Your hair is so thin, I thought all boys have heavy hair."

"The Achilles tendon is also beautiful from the back!"

"If only you were a girl, it would be a pity not to wear skirts in summer with such beautiful legs!"

Who says girls are shy?They pretended to be ladies in front of Shen Yuze, but in front of Lu Ping, they all revealed their true colors and showed their true colors.Relying on being Lu Ping's deskmate, Chen Miaomiao boldly stretched out her claws, wanting to touch Lu Ping's calf with her own hands.

Surrounded by a group of girls, Lu Ping was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to hide.

At the critical moment, Shen Yuze, who was outside the crowd, coughed heavily and stopped their wanton behavior: "Cough——students, you have been playing on the mountain for hours, don't you want to eat something?"

It's good that Shen Yuze didn't remind about the hungry stomach, but when he reminded, the girls' bellies started growling one after another.In this way, the topic was diverted smoothly, and Lu Ping could finally escape from the predicament of being surrounded.

Lu Ping hastily put down his trouser legs, and covered himself tightly again.He wants to be a good boy who abides by male virtues, how can he be touched by other girls casually?

Over there, Shen Yuze was discussing with everyone what to have for dinner.

Yongquan Mountain is so far away that it is not convenient to drink a cup of milk tea, let alone order takeaway.

However, Chen Miaomiao was well prepared. She jumped onto a boulder next to her and signaled everyone to look at her: "Don't worry, everyone won't starve for dinner tonight! Let's make it ourselves in the orchard!"

"Do it yourself?" Her best friend Zhou Yue looked around and said with some embarrassment, "But who of us knows how to cook and stir-fry."

"There's no need to cook and cook, everything is ready!" Chen Miaomiao put her hands on her hips, shaking her bun proudly, "Let's have barbecue today!"

Following her order, the forest guard and his wife brought out the things prepared in advance from the small yard - skewered beef and mutton skewers, vegetable skewers, meatball skewers, fresh squid, prawns and oysters, various drinks, bowls and chopsticks , tables and chairs, and a barbecue pit with an open fire...

This was a complete surprise!

Who doesn't like camping and barbecue at this age, and being able to eat and chat with so many friends, even if you exchange the answer booklet for the monthly exam with them, they are reluctant to exchange this kind of happiness.

The girls were responsible for grilling skewers by the stove, and Shen Yuze and Lu Ping, as the only two boys, were assigned to light the bonfire.

There is a whole open space in front of the small courtyard. They piled the firewood prepared in advance in the middle to form a hill shape, and then surrounded it with stones to form a ring to enclose the firewood so that it would not roll around casually.When everything was ready, Shen Yuze struck a match, and then threw the match into the firewood.

After a few seconds, the match went out, leaving only a piece of charred black, but the firewood showed no sign of being lit.

Shen Yuze frowned, struck another match and threw it in, but until the second match went out, the firewood remained quiet.

Shen Yuze got up: "I'm going to find a lighter, the flame of the match is too small."

Lu Ping stopped him: "Wait, it's useless even if you look for a lighter, that's not how the bonfire is lit."

He shouldn't have pinned his hopes on Shen Yuze. Before, the young master thought that natural gas could be obtained by pressing the switch in the kitchen, so how could he know how to ignite the firewood?

The Lu family was still using an old-fashioned firewood stove a few years ago, and Lu Ping had helped his mother cook the stove since he was a child, so a mere bonfire was no problem at all.

Anyway, there are orange trees everywhere here, Lu Ping first went to the orange tree to pick up a few branches and some leaves, and carried them all back.Then, it stuffed the flammable leaves into the gaps in the firewood, first ignited the leaves with the matches, and then used the leaves to ignite the branches. As the fire grew stronger, finally the firewood also burned!

"See? You have to eat food at a time, and you have to light the fire step by step. How can anyone use a match to light wood?" Lu Ping said clearly, "This is called step by step. You can't do things in a hurry, do you understand?"

Shen Yuze looked sideways at the boy beside him, the dancing flames coated him with a beautiful layer of warm orange, making him look ambiguous and gentle.Shen Yuze echoed softly: "Well, we really have to proceed step by step, don't be impatient."

The warm flames flickered in the sunset, occasionally crackling.On this breezy night, bring a long-lost warmth.

Lu Ping got up and went to the table to fetch some ingredients.They have campfires, perfect for roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes.He dug a small hole under the piled bonfire with branches, buried the sweet potatoes and potatoes shallowly, and waited for them to be cooked by the temperature of the bonfire.

In addition, he also brought back two kinds of fruits - persimmons and oranges.

November is also the season for persimmons.The persimmon trees are tall and bear a lot of fruit. Just two trees planted in front of the door are enough to feed the whole family all winter.A persimmon tree was also planted in front of the forester's small yard, and a basket full of them was harvested.

The local persimmons in Jiaojiang are completely different from those in the imperial capital in terms of size and shape.The persimmons in the imperial capital are all "Mopan persimmons". Each persimmon is bigger than the palm of your hand. It is short and fat, and weighs heavily on your hand. There are conspicuous ruts on the side of the whole fruit, connected end to end, as if the persimmon is placed horizontally. For two, like a millstone.The persimmons here in Jiaojiang are all local "long persimmons", which are small in size, jujube-shaped, and reddish in color.

Shen Yuze originally thought that Lu Ping brought persimmons and oranges to be eaten directly, but he didn't expect Lu Ping to skewer them with iron skewers, and then hold them directly on the bonfire to roast!

Shen Yuze's shock was no less than the first time he ate meat glutinous rice balls and sweet bean curd: "... Persimmons and oranges can still be roasted?"

"That's right, don't you eat roasted persimmons?" Lu Ping shook the stick in his hand, "Roasted persimmons, this is a good fortune, eat a few more to pass every exam!"

The flames were scorching hot, and Lu Ping was quite patient, turning the stick carefully to let the persimmons be heated evenly.The originally hard persimmon gradually became soft under the licking of the tongue of fire, like a jelly that is about to melt, tempting diners to taste it.

Within a few minutes, the thin layer of skin on the outside of the persimmon suddenly trembled and burst open, exposing the juicy flesh inside.As the skin cracks, the sweet aroma of persimmons is unreservedly released.

"It's roasted!" Lu Ping was overjoyed. He brought the first roasted persimmon directly to Shen Yuze, urging him, "Taste it quickly, it's very sweet! But be careful, this one will be hot."

Shen Yuze took the roasted persimmon and observed it carefully.It’s not that he has never eaten roasted fruit before. In Western food, he often uses fruit to make various pies, such as apple pie, cherry pie, and persimmon pie. .

The outer skin of the long persimmon is very thin, like a thin film, and it has completely lifted up now.He carefully tore off the outermost layer of skin, and took the first bite cautiously—in an instant, his entire mouth was filled with a domineering sweetness!

So hot, so sweet, so fragrant!

The sweetness was totally unreasonable, like a sweet bomb, it exploded directly on the tip of Shen Yuze's tongue when Shen Yuze was least prepared.The soft pulp turned into juice when it was sucked lightly, and it forcibly dripped into the throat.And after the sweetness fades, there is no astringency of ordinary persimmons.

From the beginning to the end, there is only sweetness that is too thick to melt.

Seeing Shen Yuze's surprised expression, Lu Ping smiled smugly: "How about it, are there any bad things I recommend?"

Their local long persimmon is the most suitable variety for roasting. It is said that the skins of persimmons in other places are very thick.

The oranges in Lu Ping's hand were also roasted.But roasted oranges don’t need to be that particular, and you don’t need to turn them all the time. The orange skin is thick, even if it is burnt, the outside skin is still delicious inside.

The oranges processed by the bonfire are also sweet, and the juice is locked in the orange petals. Eating two at night can moisten the throat and keep warm.

"It's really delicious." Shen Yuze was not satisfied after eating a roasted persimmon, and picked another roasted orange.

Beside the warm campfire, they were talking, laughing, and sharing. Unknowingly, the embarrassment that lingered between them during this period gradually dissipated, and they returned to the tacit ambiguity and tacit understanding again.

Occasionally, when Lu Ping passed something to Shen Yuze, their fingers would touch each other, but this time, Lu Ping didn't dodge.

The light of the fire was dancing in their eyes; the air was filled with the aroma of food, which filled their empty souls and stomachs.

……

Lu Ping roasted a lot of fruits in one go, and he and Shen Yuze alone couldn't finish them all.He put the roasted fruit on a plate, pulled out some sweet potatoes and potatoes from the fire, got up and sent them to the girls.

The boys and girls work together in a division of labor, and the girls are in charge of kebabs and vegetable skewers, several of which have been sent to them just now.Courtesy is reciprocated, and Lu Ping has to return the courtesy.

Lu Ping is not familiar with other girls, only Chen Miaomiao, Zhou Yue and Meng Xin.Chen Miaomiao didn't know where to go, Zhou Yue and Meng Xin stood in the corner, talking about something.

Lu Ping walked over with the food, and Night Breeze brought them their whispers.

"birthday present……"

"cake……"

"surprise……"

Lu Ping was taken aback, and asked, "Birthday? Whose birthday is it?"

Zhou Yue and Meng Xin were taken aback by his sudden appearance. Zhou Yue looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Miaomiao was not by his side.

"Hush! Don't be too loud—today is actually Miaomiao's birthday. She didn't want everyone to spend money, so she didn't tell everyone that today is her birthday." Zhou Yue said, "But her birthday can be hidden from others, but not from me. I I bought her a birthday cake, and I hid it in the forest guard's grandfather's refrigerator, and planned to take it out later to give her a surprise."

Only then did Lu Ping know that there was another reason why Chen Miaomiao invited so many friends to pick together today.

Meng Xin said: "I only found out about this a few minutes ago." She didn't have time to prepare a gift, so Zhou Yue asked her if she could perform a show?You can sing or dance.Meng Xin has no airs, and readily agrees, she was discussing music accompaniment with Zhou Yue just now.

Zhou Yue looked at Lu Ping again: "Since you heard it, I don't need to inform you anymore—you boys should also put on a show!"

Lu Ping immediately rejected San Lian: "Hey, you are trying to catch ducks on the shelves. Do you think I look like an artistic person? I sing out of tune, dance with uncoordinated limbs, and amuse myself before telling jokes... I don't really have a show."

Zhou Yue: "Then Shen Yuze..."

"You don't even need to think about it," Lu Ping shook his head, "He is even more impossible!"

Seeing that Lu Ping refused so thoroughly, Zhou Yue was thin-skinned, and he was too embarrassed to ask him to do anything else.

"However," Lu Ping said, "Although I can't make a show, I have prepared gifts."

Fortunately, before going out today, he listened to his mother and took the two boxes of orange cakes as a present, and now he just gave them away as a birthday present!And he did it himself, so meaningful!

As soon as he thought of it, Lu Ping handed the tray in his hand to Meng Xin, then hurried back to the room where the schoolbag was kept, and found his own backpack.Two boxes of beautifully packaged orange cakes lay safely on the bottom of Lu Ping's schoolbag. After a day of bumps, they were not crushed at all.

He took out a pen, swiped the pen, and wrote a string of blessings on the orange cake.

The general idea is, I wish Chen Miaomiao to be as beautiful as a flower, study progress, get into a good university, and become a rich woman blablablabla in the future...

In the place where the money was signed, he signed his name in a fluttering manner.

After writing these words, Lu Ping was about to cap his pen when he suddenly stopped.

That's right, he made preparations in advance and had a gift for Chen Miaomiao... But what about Shen Yuze?Chen Yuze wasn't originally in the group he was invited to, but he joined today on a whim.If at Chen Miaomiao's birthday party, he neither gave gifts nor performed, how would others think of him, and how embarrassing Shen Yuze would be.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping decided to fill in a few more words next to his name.

——【Gift Giver: Lu Ping & Shen Yuze】

Ah, very good.

Gifts should also be given by two people.

That's right.
