I'm just sorry for plagiarism

"It's nothing, I'll hang up first."

This time it wasn't a joke, it was sincere.

"Don't don't." Lao Wang waved his hand: "I just want to hear the voice of my friends. You know that there are not many friends here in my hometown. It's very lonely."

Li Xia was a little helpless: "Wine and meat friends are easy to find, aren't they?"

"It's just wine and meat friends, and it's not sincere, it's really boring."

"Then you want to hear my voice?" Li Xia covered his mouth and said happily, "Then how about this, I'll record a few phrases for you, and remind you to get up, eat and call every day, what do you think?"

After saying this, Li Xia rolled his eyes for a while, after all, his face was too narcissistic inside and out, um, and it was very silly.

Lao Wang laughed out loud.

"Are you going home too?"

The eldest lady's home is in the residential area of ​​Yecheng City. Although it is quite far from Mingde, it is much closer than Old Wang no matter how you say it.

"No, I came to the wedding, and I'm sleeping in my hometown now."

"Your hometown? Is it Huaipu?" Old Wang asked casually.

"You even know this? You checked your household registration." Li Xia was also surprised.

The little boy laughed straight away: "When I was helping Teacher Bai carry homework before, I just glanced over it and wrote it down by the way."

The eldest lady let out an ouch as she listened.

"What's the matter?" Old Wang was taken aback, thinking that something was wrong.

Li Xia touched his arm and complained a little: "It's nothing, just being bitten by a mosquito, it hurts."

Well, the mosquitoes in my hometown are very fierce. I don’t know if they evolved in the process of fighting with the family members. Their mouths grow very long, and the bite hurts more than ten times. I don’t know how much fiercer than the ones in Yecheng. .

This reminded Lixia of the scene when he came to the nearby military training. In a certain school building in Hongye Valley, not far from here, the mosquitoes were similar in temperament, each more fierce than the other, even if you were wearing long trousers and skirts, you would sleep at night. I can feel a burst of tingling pain, if it is placed near Xizhe, it is impossible to exist.

Lao Wang thought for a while, then looked into the distance, and began to sigh with emotion: "The environmental governance of Huaipu still needs to be improved. Next time I go, I must urge the yamen over there to carry out pest control sanitation, otherwise tourists from other places will not like it." Do you want to live in it?"

Hearing this guy speak like a little leader, the eldest lady was amused and giggled: "I'm getting more and more good at putting on airs."

"You're telling the truth." Old Wang felt embarrassed.

The two chatted for a while, and the topics were mostly boring and had nothing to do with family life.

But for some reason, time passed quietly like this, but Li Xia didn't feel bored.

Putting one foot on the concrete steps, she silently watched the weaver girls singing in the field.

Finally, the eyelids could not stop trembling.

But he didn't mean to put down the phone.

It's just that the speed of reply is getting slower and slower.

"Huh, huh? Oh, um..."

In the end, I couldn't even hear the sound clearly, there was only a slight hum, which gradually turned into a low snoring.

Lao Wang silently stopped the microphone, and just held the microphone like this, standing in the corridor in the dark night, even the trace of the moon has quietly disappeared.

After a while, he yawned, and before hanging up, he whispered the last sentence to the other end of the phone.

"Good night."

----

The night passed quietly like this.

It was obviously an extremely hot summer day, but Li Xia felt that it seemed that the middle of the night was not too difficult.

I got up early in the morning, cleaned up a little, and went to have breakfast with my father.

Dad Xia came to Huaipu to do business. There are some meat operators on the West Street who are in contact with Huaipu near Huaipu. When the holidays come, if the company employees are called to run away, they will have to work overtime and subsidize high temperature. Lixia feels a little distressed.He secretly signaled Boss Li to put pressure on his father.

Anyway, Dad is an honest man, if he is asked to do something, he basically agrees as long as he can do it.Moreover, they are all from the same company, so it's not easy to ask for subsidies. Li Xia feels that this approach is a bit profitable.

But thinking about it carefully, it was her father who suffered. It seems that this so-called earning is a little hazy and not quite right.

As a first-class restaurant, West Street naturally adheres to every small detail, whether it is meat quality or hygiene, and strives to be perfect.I heard that some high-end restaurants in Huaipu next door have signed a delivery contract with the meat company, but for some reason, there has been no flow of people like West Street.

The morning and afternoon are free activities, and only the big dinner in the evening needs to meet with relatives.

As for the wedding banquet, it will be arranged until the noon and evening of the next day.

Li Xia had already sneaked a look at the small house next door. The small house erected at the head of the village was often visited by decoration workers. Since it was just a formality, the decoration of the small room was not grand.

The guest house for the real banquet is a hotel in the center of Huaipu.

In Yecheng, the consumption level is not very high, but in Huaipu, it is a first-tier hotel.

After finishing the work, perhaps the signing of the contract went smoothly, and the father rushed back at noon.

Looking at the family members and the construction team coming and going on the street, it is not suitable for him, a strong man, to stay indoors to enjoy the shade all the time.

So I thought about going in and getting involved, and handing over the bench to the gods was considered a help.

As a result, a relative next to him shook his head and did not let him go.

Turned over to another task.

"There should be someone coming back from the train entrance, and there is no help, so you go and pick it up. The boundaries here are still quite complicated."

This is indeed the case. The terrain of Huaipu is complex, with deep mountains and old forests, it is always easy for people to get lost.

Although there will be no danger to life, but this summer is hot and the temperature is already very high. If someone is in a hurry, heat stroke will be bad.

Besides, there are many people who are in the same situation as Lixia.

Living in the outer city, I usually don't have much contact, so I don't know the situation in my hometown.

In fact, the people who were invited were not only relatives related to the Xia family from other provinces, but also some friends and family members from the county town.

The old man drove the motorcycle sent by his grandmother, tooting towards the train track.

The wind was fast along the way, there were not many cars, and the road was empty.

About twenty minutes later, Li Xia saw a familiar profile with beautiful slightly long hair, it was Liang Tian who was staying with him back then.

"She is also from Huaipu?" Li Xia was a little curious, and instructed his father to get closer.

Anyway, they were already at the train station, Father Xia simply got out of the car and leaned over.

In the end, I saw the little girl Liang Tian with a hesitant expression on her face, lowering her head, arguing with the electric tricycle driver in front of her.

"Fifteen, okay? I really don't have that much money, I'm just going home, where did I bring so much change?"

"Fifty, you get in the car for 50 yuan, and it will take you everywhere in Huaipu."

The old man and Li Xia looked at each other. Although Huaipu is very big, it is not worth 50 yuan to travel the whole way, no matter the oil fee or the hard work fee.

From the looks of it, the little girl met a killer.

Chapter 46, Chapter 46

Indeed, whether in future generations or in this life, the problem of slaughtering customers has always been a huge hidden danger that Huaipu cannot solve.

It covers a wide range of areas, ranging from travel by car and horse, to hotel consumption, and even some entertainment clubs, which often have sky-high price menus.

However, it is very helpless that since the Internet was not particularly perfect in 09, this kind of black news about local scammers was mostly concealed under the prosperity of false charts, and those officials in high positions did not have enough information. With his own practice, he couldn't even perceive how chaotic the city under his hands was.

This was one of the reasons why Li Xia advised the Wrinkled Burning City back then.

Although Huaipu is his hometown, these practical things have to be understood by the yamen himself. If what he said is too thorough, the other party may not take it seriously.

The father and daughter glanced at each other, and saw Dad Xia shook his head and said: "The law and order here is still as messy as ever."

"Have you seen it before?" Li Xia raised his eyebrows.

"of course."

Daddy Xia nodded, "It's still about the time when you weren't there, just when you got married, guess why your mother and I are going to Yecheng for the wedding?"

The eldest lady is silent, she is not a fool, so naturally she can tell.

It's no wonder that when Dad held the wedding, he would rather choose Yecheng, which is more expensive, than Huaipu.

I guess at that time, I was also afraid that these black merchants who slaughtered customers would come out to make trouble. If the sky-high fare suddenly appeared on the wedding day, or there was a scandal of blocking the road for expensive cigarettes and alcohol, would my wedding be over?

"I don't know how much I listened to what I said to Zou Rancheng." Li Xia sighed, stood on tiptoe with sympathy, and patted his father's shoulder: "It's really messy enough."

Father Xia rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "I remember Wrinkle City... the current second in command of Huaipu, right? How did you know each other?"

"I just met by chance." Li Xia blinked mischievously, walked up without talking nonsense.

But the situation on Liang Tian's side was very messy.

The little girl was carrying a suitcase. It was a hot day, her back was wet a lot, and her short hair on her forehead was also very messy. She was arguing with the hawker driver with her head down.

The driver looked like a hooligan, waved his hand, and it was still the same number, full of stubbornness.

The little girl couldn't help stamping her feet and gnashing her teeth, very anxious.

It happened that those fellow drivers were also there to help, none of them lowered the price, the starting price was [-], and then a group of people gathered around there, as if they were happy to see such a little girl's embarrassed gesture.

"Hey, Liang Tian, ​​what are you doing?" Li Xia walked over at this moment, and greeted her with a smile.

The little girl was slightly taken aback. Hearing the familiar clear voice that she hadn't seen for a long time, she thought she was hallucinating from the heat. She reached out and touched the outline of the eldest lady's face, and then she had a surprised expression: "It's really You, Lixia? What are you doing in Huaipu? Are you traveling, what a coincidence."

"Who said they came here to play?" Li Xia asked back with a smile, without making much excuses, he put his arms around the little girl's shoulders. "Let's go, are you going to Hongxing Village? I'll take you there."

Hearing that Li Xia actually knew her destination, the little girl couldn't help but startled, curious, why is this girl so powerful?

On the other hand, the peddlers riding on electric tricycles realized that their voices had been robbed, and they were immediately unhappy: "Which street are you on? Do you understand the rules of picking up cars?"

Originally, they planned to scold like this.

But seeing that the little girl who came out of the slanting ground had a lovely face, a pair of big eyes and watery eyes, and her temperament was not at all like the old-fashioned Huaipu people here. It didn't take much speculation to know that she was a visitor from other places.

He couldn't help but licked a smile and said flatteringly: "Why don't you go? Come on, get in the car together, [-] for two of you? I'll take you around the whole city. The price is the lowest here. If you don't go out, the price won't be so low anymore! Come or not."

It just so happened that Father Xia came over pushing the motorcycle that had just been locked, and glanced at these peddlers, with an understatement in his eyes.

Then speak the authentic native dialect, and the answers are fluent.

"Ah, don't worry, we are local."

----

On the way home, the motorcycle was speeding.

The two little girls let the oncoming warm wind blow their temples high.

Well, in fact, this kind of driving behavior is very dangerous, and it is better not to refer to it under normal circumstances.

It's just that today's situation is quite special. Father Xia originally planned to come here in his own car, but it turned out that yesterday it really became a prophecy. When he woke up in the morning, he found that his tires had been blocked Which wicked ghost was leaked.

There is no surveillance installed in this wilderness, and Father Xia doesn't know who to ask for an explanation.

What's more, at any rate, he came to attend the wedding, and he came happily, and Father Xia didn't want to spoil the atmosphere because of this disharmonious factor.

It's just that the tire repair fee is another headache.

In the wilderness, I have to ask the elder brother and the second brother to tow the car back.

The roads are clear enough to drive.

But Father Xia still had two children by his side, so he didn't dare to drive too fast for safety's sake.

The mountain wind in the countryside seemed to be a bit harsher. When getting out of the car, although the speed of the car was not so fast, the hair of the two little girls was almost blown into afro.

The two girls looked at each other, pursed their lips, and seemed to be laughing at each other's weird hairstyle.

In the end, Liang Tian sighed first, and stroked her chest without dying: "However, it's really a coincidence. I can meet Li Xia here. If you and your uncle didn't show up in time just now, I would really be attracted to you." Almost died in a hurry!"

Li Xia nodded lightly: "Be careful next time when you come back, remember to bring a few more friends, since it's easy to have accidents in this kind of small town."

This is a bit of an exaggeration, but I have to mention that, as a tourist city, Huaipu is indeed very ruthless in terms of ripping off customers.

Speaking of which, the little girl is the same as myself, not a local, but her hometown is in Huaipu.And strictly speaking, the two of them are not even distant cousins, but it just so happens that the grandparents in their hometown are in the same village, and they happened to run into them when sending out invitations.

But at this moment, Liang Tian just wanted to lean on the young lady's arm.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I didn't expect that we were one family 500 years ago."

Well, this is a bit shameless to say, but Li Xia just loves to hear it.
