blazing fire

"Ah, what?" Yuan Yu opened his eyes wide.

"Drugstore." Cheng Zhuo frowned, "It's hard to understand my words?"

A young woman in a hurry came out from the school gate, and after a few glances, she walked towards Cheng Zhuo and the others, still asking, "Are you Wu Hao's parents?"

The eldest aunt nodded and talked to her.After a while, the two stopped. The eldest aunt turned her head back, and when she heard the word "pharmacy" Cheng Zhuo said, she said unexpectedly, "What pharmacy? Xiaozhuo, are you sick?"

"It's not me." Cheng Zhuo pointed to Yuan Yu's face, motioning his aunt to look for herself.

"Ouch! Xiao Yu, you--you look very sick, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No need, auntie, I'm fine."

Yuan Yu opened his eyes and shook his head desperately, as if he was afraid that Aunt Cheng Zhuo would take him to the hospital.

The aunt stared at him for a while, then showed a clear expression: "You... oh."

Here it is again, the expression that has a story but doesn't tell it.

Cheng Zhuo didn't like this very much. Although he didn't want to fit into any circle, he still didn't like the sense of rejection caused by not knowing someone or something, so he interrupted her: "Auntie, do you want to go in?" ?”

Cheng Zhuo glanced at the teacher standing beside him, he heard the conversation just now.

The eldest aunt was a little embarrassed: "Ah... yes."

"Then you go, I will take the car with Yuan Yu." Cheng Zhuo said.

"Then... that's fine, you can give it to me when you get home..."

Cheng Zhuo smiled: "I can't lose it. It's troublesome to call, so I won't call."

Cheng Zhuo watched his aunt leave with the teacher, until the back was out of sight after turning a corner, he turned his face, looked at Yuan Yu and asked again: "Where is the pharmacy?"

Up to this point, Yuan Yu couldn't understand what he meant.

At that time, he wrinkled his face and said in embarrassment: "No need..."

"I am a person," Cheng Zhuo stretched out a finger, pointing at the tip of his nose, "I have been educated since I was a child to 'take medicine when sick' and 'stay away from sick patients'. Aren't you going back with me? I don't The patient went with him."

Yuan Yu protested weakly: "I just thought we happened to be on the way..."

It doesn't matter if we don't go together, anyway, what he wanted to say about "May Three" has been finished...

It's just that Cheng Zhuo doesn't seem to agree...

"Okay." Cheng Zhuo nodded, "Then I'll go back by myself, don't follow me."

He walked away.Knowing the route from the station to the aunt's house and then to the school, he can use his sense of direction and distance to deduce the shortcut from the school to the bus station, so even though he has never walked in the direction he is going at this time, he still walks with confidence.

Yuan Yu hurriedly followed: "The exercise book tomorrow morning..."

He rushed too fast, couldn't control his breathing, and couldn't help but tilt his head and cough twice.

Cheng Zhuoli ignored him.

"You promised..."

"I don't talk to patients."

Yuan Yu stopped in his tracks, looked at the tall and straight figure in front of him with big strides, and frowned helplessly.

He bit his lip and thought for a while, but finally he couldn't hold him back, he walked up quickly and grabbed Cheng Zhuo's forearm.

Yuan Yu was a little surprised by the hand feel.

So thin...weak?

"Don't touch me." Cheng Zhuo slammed him away, his voice raised, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Yu was taken aback by him, regained his senses, pointed to the other side stammeringly: "Medicine, pharmacy, over there..."

Cheng Zhuo sneered: "Didn't you just say you're fine?"

Yuan Yu felt aggrieved: "Then you ignored me, didn't you?"

"Just for "May [-]"?"

Yuan Yu nodded——what else?

Cheng Zhuo was amused by him.

It's not that I'm angry, but I'm just wondering why there are such people in the world who don't care when I'm sick, but care about the teaching aids I haven't got yet.

When he goes back, if he tells Huang Menghui and the others about strange people and strange things, Yuan Yu's product will definitely be listed at No. 1 on the list.

"Then go," Cheng Zhuo raised his eyebrows, "You lead the way."

Yuan Yu has not figured out the logic of Cheng Zhuo's emotional ups and downs, he can only feel that the old man's mood has inexplicably improved at the moment.He didn't dare to waste this opportunity, hurriedly walked a few steps, and brought Cheng Zhuo to the nearest pharmacy.

The pharmacy had a dusty facade, inconspicuous among a bunch of hardware stores and grocery stores.Cheng Zhuo paused, but finally stepped in.

He has only been in Yanghuai for two days, and he feels that he is more and more accepting of the poor, messy, dirty and backward appearance.

There are usually licensed pharmacists in pharmacies, Cheng Zhuo asked when he entered the door: "Doctor, he has a fever, what medicine should he take?"

The middle-aged woman behind the counter raised her head, pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and looked at Yuan Yu who was walking in front of her.

After asking a few questions in detail, the pharmacist brought two boxes of medicines and put them on the table: "No big problem, just fatigue and cold. These two boxes of medicines are taken twice a day, one at a time, before meals. There are 33 medicines in total. block, how to pay?"

"Cash." Cheng Zhuo smiled as he took out the money, Yuan Yu stood beside him and didn't dare to vent his anger, only feeling inexplicable.

"What are you laughing at?" He didn't dare to ask until he walked out of the store.

"It's nothing." Cheng Zhuo laughed because there were actually two blue and green payment codes on the counter of the pharmacy, and he didn't have a mobile phone.

Yuan Yu didn't ask any more questions.He squeezed the medicine bag and said uncertainly, "I will pay back the money."

"Whoever wants you to pay it back, there are many things." Cheng Zhuo looked at the cars on both sides and was about to cross the road.

"The exercise book..."

"Tomorrow morning, right? I woke up around 6:40 these two days, I got up and brought it to you?" Cheng Zhuo heard Yuan Yu send the village children to school yesterday, and he thought he hadn't left at that time.

As he said, he looked ahead, grabbed Yuan Yu's wrist casually, and dragged him forward, quickly dragging him across the intersection.

Yuan Yu was staggered by him: "Just... 6:40, you don't need to come over, I'll just go to your house and get it."

"Okay." Cheng Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Then, I don't care about the evening medicine, and you come to me for the morning medicine, and I'll give you a copy for a day."

For a while, Yuan Yu was both happy and surprised.

Happily, "There is more than one book?"

Surprised, "Why can't you give it to me at once..."

"Because," Cheng Zhuo tilted his head, speaking confidently and as a matter of course, "I am happy."

……

The things are still in Cheng Zhuo's hands, Yuan Yu can only follow his temper.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yu left home early and went to Grandma Cheng's house instead of picking up the children in the village.

Grandma Cheng always got up early, and when Yuan Yu came, she was burning the clay stove.The kitchen smelled of smoky firewood.

He walked a little further in, and after making sure that he couldn't see this side from the angle of his home, he called out, "Grandma Cheng, is Cheng Zhuo up yet?"

He yelled in dialect, but the word "Cheng Zhuo" was too recognizable. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a lazy voice above his head: "Get up."

He poked his head out and saw a leaning face and a right arm protruding from the window frame on the second floor.Cheng Zhuo raised his slender fingers and hooked them, his tone was still lazy: "Come up by yourself."

His appearance reminded people of Jiangnan, water villages, misty rain... Yuan Yu was still thinking wildly when he went upstairs. They could barely be regarded as "Jiangnan", but there were no water villages, and it didn't rain recently.

But it's time to drop after a while, as it always does in spring.

Yuan Yu walked to the second floor obediently, Cheng Zhuo had already got up, wearing the suit pajamas bought in the supermarket in the town, and casually draped over a coat with the front open.

Seeing someone coming up, he bent down, took one of the three bottles of mineral water at the corner of the table, and handed it over: "Have you brought the medicine?"

"I've brought it." Yuan Yu unloaded his schoolbag and looked around.

He passed by this room countless times, but it was the first time he came up, and he was a little shocked by the mess here.

It's not dirty, but Cheng Zhuo doesn't seem to have the concept of storage at all, things are spread out, not only does he have no place to sit, he doesn't even have much room to stand.

"Sit there." Cheng Zhuo occupied the only chair, pointed to the empty bed opposite and said, "I don't sleep anyway."

Yuan Yu glanced back, holding her schoolbag, walked over and sat down.

"Eat." Cheng Zhuo raised his chin.

Cheng Zhuo who had just woken up was not as sharp as in the daytime, the thorns all over his body seemed to be softened by the rising sun, but the arrogance on his body was still there.

"It's so handsome, the aura of city people." Yuan Yu was still thinking when he was taking the medicine, "It's like the star posters sold in stationery stores."

Seeing him finish eating, Cheng Zhuo took the top copy of "May Three" from the table behind him and handed it over, and waved him away: "Take it and leave, I still want to sleep for a while."

Yuan Yu ran over to pick it up in two steps, as if he had found a treasure.

On the exquisite purple cover, eight huge yellow three-dimensional characters "Five-year college entrance examination, three-year simulation" suddenly caught the eye.No wonder the book is called "Mathematics", he thought, touching the word "Mathematics" and turning the page.

Both the paper quality and printing quality of the inner pages were the best Yuan Yu had ever seen, and he stopped breathing for a while.

Until the silence in the room was broken by Cheng Zhuo.

"As for it?" Cheng Zhuo sat backwards, leaning his face on the backrest, squinting at him and smiling, as if he was sleepy, "A book of exercises is worth your excitement."

"You don't understand!" Yuan Yu was a little annoyed by his smile.

"I really don't understand." Cheng Zhuo closed his eyes and muttered, "Let's go, come back tomorrow."

Yuan Yu looked at the "May Three" left on the table, and subconsciously pouted.

But he wasn't the kind of character who opened his mouth and said "I want" casually, so he had no choice but to stuff this math book into his backpack, and went downstairs resentfully, his eyes still lingering on that table.

Unknowingly halfway through.

When he looked away, Yuan Yu caught a glimpse of something in the pile of clothes that Cheng Zhuo hung between the window and the end of the bed. Half of his body was already downstairs, but he stopped in his tracks.

He saw this thing yesterday, so he didn't have the nerve to ask along the way.

Cheng Zhuo opened his eyes: "Aren't you going? Are you not going to school?"

"That, the ring-shaped thing." Yuan Yu pointed to the hanging neck pillow, "Is it... from World of Warcraft?"

The author has something to say:

Yuan Yu has to work every day, compared to him, Xiao Zhuo is very thin (.
