Recalcitrant

The climate in the mountainous area is changing rapidly, and there is still heavy rain at night. In a blink of an eye, the sky is covered with stars.

The air after the rain is pleasantly scented with grass, and when you look up, you can see the vast Milky Way, like a ribbon, across the entire night sky.

Such a splendid sea of ​​stars cannot be seen in cities with severe light pollution.

Lu Shaoheng was wearing an ill-fitting T-shirt and paired with a pair of washed white beach shorts, sitting with a little girl by the well in the yard to enjoy the cool.

The little girl's name is Jia Jia, she is just 17 years old this year, today is when she and her grandma went up the mountain to look for bamboo shoots, and rescued Lu Shaoheng from the stream.

Grandma went to bed early and got up early, and went back to the house to lie down before eight o'clock at night.Jiajia has to go to school during the day, and has to help grandma with farm work when she gets home. Only at this time can she squeeze out a little time to start doing her homework.

It was a lonely night in the mountains, and there was nothing to entertain. Lu Shaoheng had nothing to do, so he pulled a leaf and folded it in his hand to play.After a while, the embryonic form of a rose came out in his hand.

Weaving roses with leaves is a technique that Lu Shaoheng learned to make the little girl at the same table happy when he was in elementary school, but he didn't expect it to come in handy again after so many years.

"Brother, is the city really like it was shown on TV?" Jiajia wrote her homework in her hands, and her big eyes cared about the progress in Lu Shaoheng's hands from time to time.

"Some are, some are not." Lu Shaoheng folded the slender leaves into the shape of petals, and said in his mouth: "When you grow up, you will know when you go to university outside. Generally speaking, it is still very colorful."

Jiajia shook her head, her eyes dimmed: "But my father said that boys only go to college, and girls will marry when they grow up."

"Your father is wrong. Girls can do many things, such as reading, working, being a teacher, being an athlete, and being a scientist." He said, and handed the folded rose to the little girl: "Take it."

Jia Jia took the "rose", looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said with bright eyes: "I want to be a star! The one who sings and dances on TV!"

Lu Shaoheng smiled and expressed his affirmation: "That's right, being a star is quite a feat."

While chatting with Jiajia, Lu Shaoheng learned that both her parents were working in the city, and she and her grandma were the only two people in the family who depended on each other.Since they met each other, it was fate, and besides, he still owed his life to him——Thinking of this, Lu Shaoheng reached out to take out his business card holder.

At this time, he suddenly thought that his unlucky business card and mobile phone had been soaked in the creek long ago.So he asked Jiajia for a pen and wrote a line of numbers on the leaf.

"Give you my phone number. Forget it. I'll give it to you and my colleague. When you grow up, you may not be able to find me anymore." As he spoke, he crossed out a string of numbers that he had written down before, and left them again. Get Ling Xiao's number: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call him for help."

"Really?" Jiajia's tone was both surprised and delighted.

"Of course it is true." Lu Shaoheng replied with a smile.

Jiajia took the leaf with the phone number written on it from Lu Shaoheng's hand, and put it in her pencil case with great care, as if holding her hope for the future.

The night is getting darker, people in the mountains rest early, and the night in the village is very quiet.Except for the croaking of frogs and insects in the grass, and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, there was no other sound.

Being in such an environment, Lu Shaoheng's heart gradually calmed down.

After a busy night, Jiajia finally finished her homework, packed her schoolbag and prepared to close the booth.At this moment, the light bulb hanging on the bamboo pole above his head flickered and then went out.

"Do you still have a light bulb at home?" Lu Shaoheng stepped on the bench to check it. Based on his poor life experience, he preliminarily judged that the fuse was blown.

Jiajia nodded, turned around and went into the room to take out a new light bulb.

The light bulb was a bit hot, and it took Lu Shaoheng a little time just to unscrew the old light bulb.When one big and one small were fumbling around under the lamp, a beam of flashlight from outside the fence shone straight in, and it landed on the feet of the two of them.

Then came a series of footsteps, and a man's voice sounded along with the footsteps: "Here it is, please slow down and watch your steps—Jiajia, open the door, there are guests."

Jiajia stuffed the new light bulb into Lu Shaoheng's hand and hurried out to open the door. She recognized the voice of the village chief.Lu Shaoheng turned back, remained indifferent, and stood on the bench to continue his work.

He had already tasted the enthusiasm of the village chief at dinner tonight, and it was really hard to resist.

The voices of Jia Jia talking to the village head came from outside the door. They spoke the local dialect, and Lu Shaoheng couldn't understand a word.

Just as his thoughts kept drifting away, a male voice suddenly sounded: "It seems that I came at the right time, just in time to collect your body."

Lu Shaoheng was startled by this sudden voice, and suddenly lowered his head, a pair of eyes that were so black without any impurities just bumped into his eyes.

Looking at Chen Zhuo who appeared out of thin air, Lu Shaoheng was stunned. He would never have thought that Chen Zhuo would appear in such a small village at this time.

Lu Shaoheng didn't have the time to understand his mood at the moment, but what was certain was that the expression on his face must be extremely stupid.

Chen Zhuo didn't comment on Lu Shaoheng's stupid look. He patted Lu Shaoheng's waist, drove him off the bench, and took the light bulb from his hand: "Go and turn off the switch first."

Lu Shaoheng didn't say a word, and entered the back room as if sleepwalking.

Chen Zhuo's movements were very neat, and he replaced the old-fashioned light bulb. After Lu Shaoheng turned on the switch again and returned to the yard, he saw Chen Zhuo thanking the village chief.

It turned out that Chen Zhuo found Jiajia here with the help of the village chief. Lu Shaoheng looked at Chen Zhuo who was standing under the loofah vine and greeted the village chief, and quietly pinched his thigh.

It hurts, it's true, Chen Zhuo is really here.

After a while, Chen Zhuo bid farewell to the village chief and came to Lu Shaoheng.If it wasn't because it was too late, the village chief might drag Chen Zhuo to talk about life philosophy from poetry and poetry.

Lu Shaoheng sat on the small bench, looked up at Chen Zhuo, and tried to make his tone sound casual: "How did you get here?"

Chen Zhuo said concisely: "Drive."

"Where's the car?" Lu Shaoheng asked, Jiajia's house was at the highest point in the village, and there were criss-crossed paths in front of the door, and the widest road could only allow a car to pass.

"Stop at the entrance of the village." Chen Zhuo said.

Lu Shaoheng laughed, with a sour nose: "Driving on a mountain road in the middle of the night, be careful not to overturn the car with people."

"Don't bring you such a curse."

Seeing that Lu Shaoheng had nothing good to say as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Zhuo was helpless and angry, and stretched out his hand to him.

Just when Lu Shaoheng thought that Chen Yao was going to hug him, he just patted his forehead lightly, and scolded him with a smile: "I don't know what to do, I'm a wolf."
