up north down south

Due to the fast pace of urban life, everyone is under high pressure in life, and there is not much time to relax and decompress.

But the countryside is different. They have a completely different way of life from the city. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, talk slowly and do things slowly.

Xu Qingzhou actually enjoys this kind of life very much. Apart from those inconvenient factors, he thinks it is quite suitable for him to find a small mountain village for retirement.

Every day when I came to Baini Village, I was extremely fulfilled. This kind of enrichment is not the kind of busyness and urgency, but a sense of satisfaction from the soul to the body.

Thanks to this enrichment, Xu Qingzhou didn't have much thought at all to continue thinking about his thoughts on Gu Yao.

In the morning at Jia Kang’s home, after Jia Tiancai finished a counting paper, the three of them talked to each other. passed.

If Liu Wenming hadn't called to ask why they hadn't checked in yet, Gu and Xu didn't know how long they would have to sit there.

Declining Jia Kang's kindness to keep them for dinner, the two rushed back to Village Chief Mao's house, rested for a while after eating, and then returned to Jia's house again.

In the afternoon, he and Gu Yao did not stay in the house and compete with those exercises, but told Jia Kang, and took Jia Tiancai to the small hill at the entrance of the village according to the original plan.

It's late autumn, when the autumn leaves are blown by the wind, they fall to the ground one after another, turning the ground into a thick blanket, and there is a soft sunken feeling when stepping on it.

There are many unknown wild flowers blooming on the mountain, and small clusters are scattered in every corner. Under the support of a pile of yellowed leaves, they look very dazzling and beautiful.

The three of them were walking in the woods, stepping on the blanket of fallen leaves with their feet, and with a little effort, they crushed the autumn leaves that had been dried by the sun. Music was played in the mountains and forests, which was beautiful and beautiful.

Jia Tiancai threw away the shackles imposed on him by tedious homework, like a free bird that broke through the shackles, wandering back and forth between the trees, with his arms open, and the wind passed through the gaps between his fingers.

At this time, he is more in line with a child of this age, without the maturity and aloofness he deliberately pretended to be, he looks even cuter.

Xu Qingzhou and Gu Yao didn't deliberately chase Jia Tiancai, but slowed down, walked slowly behind him, talked softly to each other, and looked away from time to time, seeing that there was no problem, they turned back and continued chatting.

After walking for a while without interfering with each other, Jia Tiancai suddenly stopped in front of the two of them. Xu Qingzhou was taken aback, thinking that something happened, and urged Gu Yao to walk over at a faster pace. When he reached the child, he asked anxiously :"What's wrong?"

The child didn't look at the two of them, but just stared straight ahead, still pretending to be mature, and said coldly: "You are walking too slowly, I will stop and wait for you."

Xu Qingzhou looked at his face as a little adult, and was still amused by the contrast of his red ears, and understood why some people thought children were cute.

Before he could say anything, Gu Yao opened his mouth first, "You have short legs, brother Yao still needs you to wait, come here, brother will hold you."

Jia Tiancai looked at Gu Yao's outstretched hand, and let out a disdainful "chuck!", but obediently stepped forward and stuffed his hand into Gu Yao's. Still very happy in my heart.

During the time Gu Yao got along with the little kid, he understood how much face this kid had. Like Xu Caizi, he was a hypocritical group. He had coaxed Xu Qingzhou for a long time, and he was even more sure when dealing with such a kid.

With the other hand, he rubbed the child's fluffy little flat head, clenched his hand tightly, and was about to continue looking at the scenery. He just lifted his foot and took a step, but the child suddenly spoke.

"Wait a moment."

The two were stunned, Gu Yao turned sideways, Xu Qingzhou raised his head, and looked at each other, but he didn't know what was wrong, it couldn't be this little kid, they held hands, and suddenly began to think of his cold Personality, regret it.

This side was confused, but Jia Tiancai was not as complicated as they thought. He just turned his head, looked at Xu Qingzhou who was obviously not in the situation, stretched out his right hand, and said with a serious face: "Morning Yao brother said , you will fall flat when you walk, Teacher Xu, let me hold you."

Xu Qingzhou looked at the little hand in front of him, which was obviously only half of his own palm, and felt very happy. He didn't even think about the meaning of his words. He hooked his lips, walked forward and held Jia Tiancai's hand with a smile. hand.

After the big one and the small one held hands tightly, he replied softly, "Okay, you are holding Teacher Xu."

Jia Tiancai was sandwiched between the two of them, looked up to the left and then to the right, he was also very happy, his walking pace was much lighter, and when he came across some interesting things, he would raise his chin to signal the two of them look.

Although Xu Qingzhou was very happy that Jia Tiancai slowly let go of his guard against the two of them and began to treat them as friends and teachers, he did not forget the task of the activity, and he had to explain everything to him when he encountered it.

From the ancient poems in autumn to the author's life; from the species of birds to their living habits; from the growth of trees to the changes of the years.

It's just the real things that appeared in front of them. Xu Caizi rearranged the knowledge one by one in his brain, and then told Jia Tiancai in concise and easy-to-understand words.

Gu Yao was not idle either. When Xu Qingzhou didn't mention the knowledge, he would silently add it to the side, and he could summarize the main content in a few words. When Jia Tiancai had doubts, he could also analyze the answer accurately and directly.

The two were worried that too much knowledge would increase the burden on children, so they both eliminated the technical terms and used straightforward and easy-to-understand vernacular, although a bit vulgar, but the effect was excellent.

The mode of the three talking, asking and answering is very harmonious. While enjoying the scenery and relaxing, they explained all the knowledge points again.

This mountain is not big, it is the smallest one in the village, there are no wild animals trapped in it, and the road is the most flat, so many parents in the village are very relieved that their children come to play.

Jia Tiancai came quite a few times on weekdays, and he could memorize many shortcuts by heart. The one he took with Gu and Xu was also the one he took the most in the past, so he reached the top of the mountain in a short while.

It's just that there are mountains stretching for dozens of miles all around, and the small hills are very small in the middle, and they can't even reach half of the other mountains, which is pitiful.

Covered by the surrounding mountains, the three of them couldn't see any scenery, except for the woods.

In the end, after looking around for a long time, I didn't see anything interesting. I rested on it for a while, and waited for the cool wind to blow away the sweat from my body. My limbs stretched out, and I followed Jia Tiancai to prepare to go down the mountain.

The road down the mountain is different from the way we came here. The rocks are densely distributed and the weeds are also lush, almost reaching his and Gu Yao's calves. Looking at the growth trend of the plants, this land should have no road, and it was forced by people. Stepped on a path.

This road is much steeper and more rugged than other trails, but according to Jia Tiancai, it is the shortest one leading down the mountain.

The two of them were not in a hurry for a while, and hadn't planned to go this way, but seeing Jia Tiancai's fearless expression, they worried about being looked down upon by a child, not to mention losing face, and losing a man's dignity.

So I had to bite the bullet.

When I came down, I realized that there were more people walking, the soil on this path was much tighter, and the stones were smoother than other places, but it was too narrow to accommodate too many people side by side. walk.

Xu Qingzhou pulled Jia Tiancai to the front, Gu Yao let go of Jia Tiancai's hand, and walked to the end very consciously, looking a bit like a leisurely stroll, but he was always paying attention to Xu Qingzhou's movement from the corner of his eyes, fortunately Shot in an emergency.

Jia Tiancai has been used to running all over the mountains since he was a child. He walked a lot on dirt roads and mountain roads, and naturally fell a lot. Rural children are not as delicate as urban children. They always fall somewhere, so they stand up and pat their pants to continue walking. .

What's more, he was very familiar with this road. Since the governor, he has been running behind the big children in the village. When he was older, he walked alone, and he didn't take this small bump in his eyes at all.

But the feeling of being treated as a treasure by Xu Qingzhou is not bad, and it's not good to waste people's good intentions. Therefore, I kept silent, just lowered my head and followed Xu Qingzhou carefully down the mountain slowly.

Speed ​​said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. I was talking about Xu Qingzhou. He really couldn’t do anything about this steep and winding mountain road. He raised his feet and didn’t know where to fall. The stones are too slippery and the soil is too wet. You have to think for a long time.

I have to struggle for a long time by myself, not to mention I have to protect Jia Tiancai, which is even more cautious, and I haven't made much progress after walking for a long time.

When he was halfway up the mountain, Xu Qingzhou was in a hurry. He wanted to step on the right side in his brain, but who knew that his feet had their own thoughts. Step straight to the left.

At that time, his whole body was obviously leaning to the right, and when his right foot stretched out, he lost his steps, pulling Jia Tiancai with his whole body, and was about to rush forward.

Gu Yao has been paying attention to Xu Qingzhou's movements from behind, and when he sees Xu Caizi sticking out his right foot to the left, he will know that this person probably thinks too much and got distracted.

So he hurried forward, bent down, reached out to hold the collars of the two of them, turned the tide, and pulled back the two who were almost in close contact with the ground, and then looked at Xu Qingzhou speechlessly, "Great talent, walking, Can you stop thinking about it?"

He didn't feel the pain from being knocked by the ground as expected. After Xu Qingzhou stood firm, he didn't have time to care about the teasing in his words. The first thing he did was to check on Jia Tiancai. He was relieved to see that he was not injured at all. Turning around to look at Gu Yao.

In addition to the time last night, it was already twice. I always seemed to make a fool of myself in front of Gu Yao. I obviously had the willpower to be proud of, but it was always useless in front of Gu Yao.

This feeling of powerlessness and cowardice makes Xu Qingzhou very disgusted. What he hates the most is the kind of weak people who depend on others and need help from others to survive. But in his relationship with Gu Yao, he just became that kind of person. The existence that makes oneself loathe.

This idea hit Xu Qingzhou so hard that he didn't even react. Jia Tiancai broke free from his hand, ran to Gu Yao, and pulled the latter to him.

Xu Qingzhou was still stuck in that kind of self-loathing, but Jia Tiancai sighed and said calmly: "Mr. Xu, this road is not easy, don't lead me, I can walk by myself, you let Brother Yao lead you Well, he walked steadily."

After speaking, regardless of the two people's wishes, he stuffed Xu Qingzhou's hand into Gu Yao's hand, stared at it for a while, nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and stepped on the stones and soil bag very skillfully, and after a while long jump.

Xu Qingzhou was shocked by his vigorous figure, and he delayed others by himself. Look at the movements, the steps, the accuracy, not a little bit faster than when he was with him.

He praised here, lamenting that his genius has grown up and can be alone, Gu Yao over there spoke up.

"Let's go."

Hearing Gu Yao's voice, Xu Qingzhou remembered the situation of the two of them now, and the touch from his hand reminded him all the time that Gu Yao did not let go of his hand.

Xu Caizi felt a little speechless. He had already made up his mind to dig a hole, bury the unacceptable emotions between Gu Yao and Gu Yao, and then cover them with coffin boards. , sealed tightly, not even revealing a seam.

But fate always plays tricks on people. The more Xu Qingzhou wants to treat those emotions as accidents and let him go away with the wind, the more there are many unknown factors that make him have to think about this headache.

It's really annoying.

Xu Qingzhou thought to himself.

Gu Yao didn't see his irritability, just waited for a while, Xu Qingzhou still frowned and didn't move, he knew in his heart what Xu Qingzhou was struggling with.

Gu Yao has a hundred ways to solve this situation. Among these ways, there is no shortage of the best options, which are neither awkward nor abrupt, but he didn't choose any of them. He just followed his heart and made many choices. Qingzhou's hand gripped tighter.

Xu Qingzhou felt that the strength in his hand was deepening, and he pulled it out subconsciously, but he didn't twitch, but it made Gu Yao hold it tighter. He continued to increase his strength, but he still didn't pull it out.

After repeated several times, Xu Caizi finally understood that someone did it on purpose. He raised his head and glared at this certain person. The latter smiled with an innocent and puzzled expression on his face. .

The two were still competing secretly, Jia Tiancai, who had already walked away, realized that they hadn't followed, and now on a big rock, with his hands around his mouth, he shouted loudly: "Teacher Xu, brother Yao, why don't you leave? "

"Here we come!" Xu Qingzhou turned around and said back.

Seeing this, Gu Yao seized the opportunity, pulled Xu Qingzhou and walked down, with a happy face, the latter had no choice but to keep up.

When they approached, Jia Tiancai stood on the rock, folded his arms, nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, next time you walk, let Brother Yao lead you, it's safe."

Xu Qingzhou smiled wryly, and didn't know what to say, so he could only reply: "Okay."

The three of them came down from the mountain one by one, and Gu Yao didn't let go of Xu Qingzhou's hand. On the way to Jia Kang's house, Xu Qingzhou couldn't bear it and forcibly pulled his hand out.

In the following time, he didn't say a word to Gu Yao, until the two of them were lying on the bed, Gu Yao didn't get a good night from Xu Qingzhou.

He turned over and stared at Xu Qingzhou's back for a while. After a while, he felt sleepy and fell asleep slowly.

The night passed quietly, the village was surrounded by silence, and the wind was blowing gently.

Seemingly the same as usual.

In fact, some changes have already happened quietly.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Reader cutie: Ahhh, when will Gu Xu be together, trash writer, can't you let them get married soon.

Handsome author: [Smoke] Tsk tsk tsk, let me make you feel entangled when you fall in love, so that Xu Caizi won't be worried, no, what kind of relationship do you fall in, you are all single dogs, whoever has a boyfriend reads novels!

Reader cute: [waving goodbye] The content caused discomfort, so I reported it.

Handsome author: [Erkang hand] Ah, I was wrong, come back.
