Sui Xia

Chapter 2 Long time no see
Lin Suixia wanted to eat a bowl of Wu Ying's hand-rolled beef noodles at that moment.

The beef is stewed tender and chewy, spicy and delicious.The hand-rolled noodles are firm, and the noodle soup is rich.

Lin Suixia loved to eat it when she was a child.

So when I decided to drive back to Chunguang Town, it was almost at that moment.

On the way home, Lin Suixia's hatred towards Zhao Junsheng and Qin Xiao reached its climax, because the city she used to like most was beaten by them and couldn't stay for a moment, and she was forced to turn back to the place she had escaped. villages and towns.

For her, even with navigation, it is still a strange place.

City A is three to four hundred kilometers away from his hometown, and it takes five or six hours to drive the whole way.

The road and urban construction outside the car window are still a few roads away from the steel and concrete facade of socialism.

Until driving into Qinglu Mountain.

The Qinglu Mountain road was circling, and Lin Suixia's speed was not fast.

Behind Qinglu Mountain is Chunguang Town.

Chunguang Town is a fairly well-preserved ancient town. It is said that most of the buildings in the town are from the period of the Republic of China.There are many reasons why it can be preserved, one is because the development here really cannot keep up with the times, and the other is that the people who come here are naturally undisciplined.

If such an ancient town is in another place, it must have become an Internet celebrity tourist attraction.

However, Chunguang Town has always had inconvenient transportation. Although a road has been built now, the development is still not as good as the surrounding counties and towns with convenient transportation.

Not long after leaving Qinglu Mountain, several old Huizhou-style buildings broke into Lin Suixia's sight, with blue bricks and black tiles, and symmetrical cornices, as if time was frozen at a certain point and moment.From their appearance, looking from a distance, they are all similar buildings in the period of the Republic of China, without skyscrapers, and even the sky behind them is full of classical haze, revealing the stories of the years.

The vague memories of the past surfaced sporadically, making Lin Suixia feel like coming home.

When she was a child, she often ran in the alley with her friends with a handmade windmill, and the neighbor's grandparents said with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Xia has grown taller again", "Oh, Xiao Xia, don't run and be careful not to fall."

They like to drink tea and sit on the Taishi chair and shake.

Those hometown dialects that have not been spoken for a long time resounded with the memory, as if hearing them again, Lin Suixia realized what it means to be close to the hometown.

Seeing the boundary stone of "Chunguang Town", she came back to her senses, let go of the accelerator, turned off the navigation, and drove to the right.

The roads here are uneven, and except for the only road entering the town, the rest are uneven gravel roads.

After leaving for these years, I only came back once a year when I was in college, and I never came back during the three years of working.Everything in the town is still the same as when I was a child, nothing has changed.Unlike big cities, a place looks different yesterday than it does today.

So Lin Suixia didn't go back for so long, and still remembered that there was a river on the right. The road there was not wide, but it was close to home.

"Wang!"

It is a bluestone road that can only accommodate one car, and under the supporting stone pier is one of the river branches in Chunguang Town.Lin Suixia carefully watched the rearview mirrors on both sides move forward.She didn't want to suddenly hear a dog barking in front of her, which startled her.

The steering wheel slipped, lost momentum and swayed, only to hear a loud thud under the car, Lin Suixia was shocked, and instinctively stepped on the brakes.Under weightlessness, the whole front of the car rushed into the river, and the lifted rear of the car pushed forward with inertia, followed by a muffled "plop"...

The side of the car was pitch black, and the windshield was splashed with water—the car went into the river.

Shock also poured into her chest at that moment.

For a moment, her mind went blank, Lin Suishia thought she was going to die!

Fortunately, her brain recovered and before the car sank completely, Lin Suishia opened the window and swam out quickly.

In just a few seconds, she had an accident, and this day... was a bad day.

Lin Suixia swam to one side of the rock, clenched his fist angrily and splashed a splash of water, "Ah——"

"Are you injured?"

At this time, a pleasant male voice came.

Lin Suixia was immersed in her venting and screaming. At first, she thought she had heard it wrong, and followed the prestige hesitantly.

There are only two street lights on the roadside on the river, one at the head and the other at the end, which can only provide faint light in the dark night.The road and the river are separated by a height of four or five meters, which is not helpful at all.

But it was still possible to see a tall and agile figure jumping into the river without hesitation, from walking slowly to fully submerged in the river and swimming towards her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

Lin Suixia stared blankly at his speed, like...

a mermaid.

merman fish.

In the dark night, with extremely poor vision, the car fell into the river, and another strange man approached at a very fast speed...

Lin Suishia had to lean back guardedly, her whole body on guard.

The man landed quickly and climbed up the rock pile. He looked Lin Suishia up and down and asked again: "Are you injured?"

Lin Suishia shook her head.

"Is there anyone else in the car?"

Lin Suishia shook her head again.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, touched his waist, and suddenly a beam of light lit up.

Lin Suixia glaringly wanted to cover her face when she heard the man suddenly call out her name: "Lin Suishia?"

"..." Lin Suixia had to put down her raised arm, squinting her eyes and looking at the opposite side with difficulty.

The man immediately picked up the flashlight and pointed the light at his face.

This bottom-up perspective... If he hadn't been confident enough in his appearance, it would be really scary.

A face with distinct features is still dripping under the wet hair.

After so many years of not seeing each other, Lin Suixia still recognized him at a glance: "...Jiang Mo, long time no see."

Ha ha.

Jiang Mo, a high school classmate, a friend from back then.

On the first day home, the car drove into the river in such an embarrassing situation, and he was the first to meet him.

In this round of unlucky rankings, she won a grand slam today, a sure win.

Jiang Mo grinned: "After so many years, you still like this river so much?"

"..."

Lin Suixia knew what he was talking about.

It's not the first time she fell into this river, how did it happen the first time...

Throw a cup!Isn't it to pick up his favorite football? !

"I can't help it. I came back after a long time. I want to say that I want to get close to the water in my hometown first." Lin Suixia replied stiffly.

Jiang Mo pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, then if you are close enough, let's go up first?"

Lin Suixia looked up to see that the stone slope was high enough, and really didn't want to overestimate someone: "How to go up?"

Jiang Mo squatted down and patted himself on the shoulder: "You step on me to go up."

Lin Suixia was silent for three seconds: "Are you serious?"

Jiang Mo raised his head and asked back: "Otherwise? Don't you check what time it is, if I wasn't going to deliver medicine to Lao Zhang's family, I wouldn't pass by here at all."

Lin Suixia didn't believe in evil, she put her mouth around her head and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone—help—someone fell into the river—is there anyone to help—"

After a few minutes.

No one passed by.

No help.

Jiang Mo leaned against the moss-covered stone wall, and yawned when he was tired.

Lin Suishia had no choice but to let him squat down and try according to his method.

Before squatting down, Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "I rescued you, what can you thank me for?"

?

"Don't you repay the grace of saving your life?"

……

"Why didn't you mention it just now?"

"Just now I asked you to step on it, but now you beg me to step on it for you. It's different."

"..."

Dare she miss the golden opportunity?

Lin Suixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help cursing: "You still haven't changed at all."

"Same and so handsome?"

"Ah Choo—" Lin Suixia sneezed heavily on his face, "It's a scoundrel."

Jiang Mo wiped his face: "..."

Fortunately, he was tall, so Lin Suixia stepped on and grabbed him, and finally went up.

Jiang Mo shouted to Lin Suixia from below: "Go find Uncle Luo who patrols the streets. He is the town's security guard. He will come to rescue me."

Lin Suixia nodded: "Then you wait for me."

"Wait for you."

Lin Suixia stared at Jiang Mo condescendingly. He said the instructions casually, but he didn't want him to nod and repeat seriously.

She froze for a moment, her dark pupils were big and bright.

Seeing her in a daze, Jiang Mo couldn't help laughing, and deliberately asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Suixia's face was inexplicably hot: "It's nothing, I thought I didn't save you and came up."

Jiang Mo shook his head: "You can't."

Lin Suixia didn't say anything, turned around and took a step.

Jiang Mo, who was standing below, hadn't lowered his head yet, and saw the halo of the street lamp in the distance hitting Lin Suishia's face, which just illuminated her smile.

No, it was her smile that illuminated the darkness of the street lamps.

After all these years, he still has a heartbeat.

Lin Suixia.

She, after all, came back.
