Abyss Express

When the sky was slightly bright, the alarm clock hadn't rung for the first time.

Like a conditioned reflex, Jiang Xueming extinguished the phone's bell ahead of time, and that mechanical muscle reflex frightened Xiao Qi's whole body.

Immediately afterwards, Seventh Brother saw the little man wash up in just ten minutes, shaved off his beard and trimmed his sideburns. Finally put on the big backpack and stood in front of the door.

"Walk."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stop, and walked out the door directly.

Xiao Qi immediately packed her luggage and followed Xue Ming's footsteps.

She complained softly along the way: "You don't wait for me."

Xue Ming handed the room card back to the front desk: "You can keep up."

Xiaoqi smiled: "Hey, do you trust me so much?"

Xue Ming pushed open the door of the hotel, broke into the busy streets of the county town, and basked in the scorching sun.

"Um."

He turned his head, observed the surrounding environment, and waved over a taxi.

Xiao Qi squeezed into the back row, and heard Xue Ming haggling with the driver in the local dialect.

She can only understand a little bit, probably don't take a detour, everyone is local, the driver Mo Lai deceived Xue Ming, messing around with black cars to kill customers.

He also heard the driver and Xueming talk about the old things in his hometown.

The car departed from the intersection, headed towards the cement road and returned to the health center. The place that saved lives and healed the wounded has been sold to a wealthy local businessman and will soon be converted into a nursing home.

Along the way, the big brother of the driver sighed and said that after many young people went out, they never came back.

Seeing Xueming's smiling business expression, he echoed the scene that "people go to high places, and water flows to low places".

The paddy fields on both sides are so green that you can’t see them clearly at night. In the daytime, Xiao Qi can see the dense leaves and rhizomes, as well as the people planting seedlings in the paddy fields.

On the short hills in the distance, the sun just came out, and the warm light cast on the car window shone on her face.

The local radio station in the car stereo was playing songs from a long time ago. "Lovely Woman" had just finished, and "The Fragrance of Dao" was next.

The water mist from the irrigation nozzles of the vegetable fields revealed a hazy rainbow light in the morning sun.

All of this made Xiaoqi feel like he was back in the millennium era, back in childhood.

She had never seen a paddy field before, and it was the first time she came to Hengyin and Pingyang. This familiar and strange feeling made her puzzled.

She couldn't help touching Mr. Xueming's hand, as if she was holding her father's hand to go to school when she was less than ten years old, and she wanted to climb to the back of her father's motorcycle.

This time Xue Ming didn't dodge——

——Because the back row of the taxi is too cramped, he can't avoid it, and maybe the young lady will touch other places later if she can't touch it.

"What are those?" Xiao Qi looked at Tian outside the window.

Xueming: "It's a rice field."

Xiao Qi: "What are they doing?"

Xueming: "Planting rice seedlings."

Xiaoqi: "Do you want to keep squatting down and then stand up again? It's so hard."

Xueming: "If it's February, March, and April, you can throw seedlings. It's not so hard. Some families have bought machines, which will be much more convenient."

Xiaoqi: "How to throw it?"

Xueming: "I also threw them when I was a child. I just grabbed a handful of muddy seedlings and threw them into the field. At this time, it is already late rice, so intensive cultivation is required, otherwise it will not grow well. You have to leave some space for their life .”

Xiaoqi suddenly became happy, "I want to plant too! How about we get out of the car! Help now? I want to go! I want to go!"

"Be obedient." Xue Ming couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't make trouble."

Xiaoqi was lost, but it didn't last long, she immediately saw more interesting things.

The tricycles passing between the two ends of the street carry the small commodities in the Hengyin market to the county market, and occasionally you can see the cattle carrying the goods.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to see these passing people and things clearly. He also told the driver: "Drive slowly! Drive slowly, master"

She saw a white horse, and the salesman on it was walking slowly along the wild road to the county town with two big sticks filled with candied haws in one hand.

A dozen or so children headed towards the urban area, running wildly along the aqueduct, holding colorful pinwheels and lollipops, like white dew, staying at the joints and valves of the aqueduct from time to time, standing tall and making The posture of beating a little monster.

Horses gnawed on the dewy young grass by the side of the road and left some dung.

Xiaoqi said again: "I want to ride a horse! I want to play! I"

The driver pulled his face down: "."

Jiang Xueming said kindly, "Back to Hung Hom, I'll take you to A Xing and let him arrange it for you."

Beside the porches of many houses built on the hills in the distance, the sound of the threshing machine shelling can be heard far away, and the sound is like fallen leaves being blown far, far away by the wind.

Xiao Qi reluctantly left here, and when she got off the car, she realized that she had already squeezed Xue Ming's hand so hot.

She couldn't help thinking about it in her heart—maybe when she was looking at the colorful world outside the window, Mr. Xueming was also holding the window like a child, trying to turn out all these memories, like old photos, and take a good look Only then will they forget that their hands are intertwined with each other.

When getting out of the car, Seventh Brother let go of his hand naturally, and she kept laughing, taking advantage of it.

Back at the intersection of Pingyang Agricultural University and in front of the milk tea shop, she was still fascinated by the coquettish sluts at the cat cafe, and immediately remembered what she had said before.

Xiao Qiyi clapped her hands and said happily, "You like cats! I remember you like cats! I'm going to pick one to charm you! Hey!"

It's like just coming to this milk tea shop.

Jiang Xueming walked straight to the gate and said hello to the little girl who was dozing off at the front desk.

"Is Boss Ye here?"

The little girl at the front desk was still holding the phone and didn't look up, and replied half asleep, "I'm squatting in the warehouse! Brother Xueming! Wait a minute!"

Jiang Xueming immediately took out the bag of toffee that Brother Seven hadn't finished eating from his backpack, and gave one to him.

"I have something to do, come back and talk about the past."

He came to the warehouse door, knocked on the door lightly like last time, and broke in directly.

Then I saw a picture with a lot of information.

On the floor sat three men, all in tiny skirts.

Boss Ye is in the middle, wearing a black and red Gothic dress, with a bowknot headdress on his head - the other two should be good brothers who came to protect Bai Lu, and they came to drink tea during the holidays, with a small table beside them Plate and refreshments.

Speaking of the clothes worn by the two brothers, one is a Hanfu long skirt with fat and thin bumps, and the other is a Japanese-style JK youthful vitality.

——The three bankrupt sisters survived together.

Bai Lu didn't change her clothes, but she hugged the big white cat, squatted in front of the flying chess board and gesticulated, like a general who wins and wants to win, holding the big cat's paw and drawing a bold stroke on the scoreboard. Pen.

The big white cat's expression was vivid, and the corner of its mouth unconsciously floated up into a sinister smile, like an old cat woman who just ate a few children, it was extremely refreshing.

The four people and the cat in the room all turned their heads.

They looked at Jiang Xueming.

Xue Ming closed the door very politely.

"Sorry, I'm taking the liberty."

Twenty minutes later, after the good brothers finished packing up their clothes, Big Brother Ye changed back into his regular clothes, pulled Xue Ming outside the store, temporarily set up a sunshade, and the two sat down.

"Uh, actually," Ye Bei said with a smile, "This is the way this world is, luck can't always be on your side."

Xue Ming nodded, didn't think too much, just burst out laughing suddenly.

Ye Bei: "What are you laughing at?"

Xueming: "I think of happy things"

Ye Bei: "Is your wife pregnant?"

Xueming: "No."

"Then I won't ask any more questions. If you can laugh, it should be a long, long story." Ye Bei followed the topic and filled the teacup on the table: "Look at you so happy." , is it done?"

"Yes." Xue Ming nodded, took out the brocade box, and put it on the table: "It's all done, I don't need this box, and I haven't opened it, so I just want to return it to you intact."

Ye Bei didn't care, and brought Xueming snacks for breakfast, and handed over two oatmeal cakes: "You take it, maybe you can use it someday."

"Then I will accept Big Brother Ye's kindness." Xue Ming took the things back without being polite at all.

He remembered that Mr. Chen asked him to bring paper money in the oiled paper bag, and wondered what was in this brocade box, "Brother Ye, can you tell me what is in here?"

Ye Bei gnawed on the biscuit, and answered indistinctly: "The stick used for self-defense is old, and it is still half an antique. It is one of my many collections, and it is not worth much. If you are in trouble Yes, take it and sell it for emergency.”

Swallowing the cake in his mouth, Ye Bei said in a serious manner: "Every now and then, when you are free, take it out and rub it with oil. Just use ordinary sewing machine oil. Don't let it rust."

Xue Ming put down the brocade box: "Then I won't open it for now, so as not to make things difficult to maintain after being exposed to light."

After such a small talk, Xue Ming was a bit uncomfortable talking about family affairs, after all, Mr. Chen gave him the mysterious oil paper bag, and it had nothing to do with Brother Ye Bei.

But Brother Ye Bei and Mr. Chen are very good friends, and there is no secret between them.

So Xueming asked: "At first when I went home, I saw that my parents could still talk, eat, and beat me with sticks.

Mr. Chen asked me to bring paper money back and give them to the two of them. Later, they seemed to be my hallucinations. They seemed to have passed away for a long time, and they disappeared all of a sudden, and the house was dilapidated. Brother Ye Bei, do you know about this? "

"." Ye Bei was silent for a while, the scars on his eyes trembled with that clever ghost's expression, as if winking at Xue Ming, "Your sister is still outside, don't talk nonsense."

Xueming suddenly realized: "Oh, it means it's inconvenient to ask. Then I'll go ask Mr. Chen privately."

Ye Beimeng nodded: "Yes, yes, he did this, you can ask him. I can't say anything about your family affairs. But ah"

Xue Ming saw Big Brother Ye reach out his hand—patted him on the shoulder, picked up the teacup, and stuffed it into his hand.

Ye Bei said: "Have a sip of tea, take a breather, there is still a long way to go in life! Let's move forward, don't think about these two old things, bravery can defeat evil!"

"Hahaha" Xue Ming sipped the tea soup: "Did Bai Lu teach you to say this? Brother Ye?"

Ye Bei frowned, with a smug look: "I taught Bai Lu to say it."

The younger sisters at the front desk looked eager to try, and wanted to come to the table to ask about Xue Ming's recent situation, but they were also afraid that Boss Ye would blame them for missing work.

Xue Ming hurriedly shouted to the counter: "I've been fine recently! Bai Lu is also fine! It will get better and better!"

In the end Xueming turned around again, ready to see Mr. Chen, it was time to say goodbye to Big Brother Ye.

"I have to go, Brother Ye, there is actually something I'm curious about."

Ye Bei: "What's the matter?"

"I came to work in your store four years ago." Xue Ming recalled carefully: "You don't seem to have aged at all, you still look the same."

"We haven't grown up yet!" Ye Bei embraced each other, blowing the loose hair on his forehead frivolously, and stood up naturally: "It's too early to become a sad-faced adult!"

Xue Ming was in a daze for a while, didn't say anything, picked up the menu again, and calculated the prices of the tea soup and oatmeal cakes.

Under Brother Ye's disgusted eyes, Xue Ming finally patted his face lightly, as if he had done something wrong.

"I know, you don't lack money, you lack affection."

Pack your bags and organize your thoughts.

Take the teacup and drink it all in one gulp.

Ye Bei: "Where are you going?"

Xue Ming: "Send Bai Lu back to school, she wants to continue studying, I want to protect her well."

Ye Bei: "Remember to call to report that you are safe. I will go to Hung Hom to travel when I have a vacation. When the time comes, I will come to your house for dinner. Just don't charge me."

Xue Ming wanted to say a few more words: "If I get into trouble again, I won't see you anymore."

"If you need to find the people's police in advance, call me, and I will definitely help you." Ye Bei said with a smile: "Your hometown will find you, no matter where you are."

Xue Ming nodded vigorously, wrote down a backup plan on the phone, and unlocked new skills.

[shaking people]

He walked towards the Xiaodongmen Lane of the Agricultural University, ready to find Mr. Chen's paper-making shop, and said a precious farewell.

"Be safe."

Ye Bei compared his thumb and held it up high.

"Be safe! The hero!"

Xiao Qi followed behind Xue Ming with Bai Lu.

The two girls were talking in private.

Seventh Brother was suspicious, "Sister-in-law, do you feel that?"

Bai Lu went with the flow, "My brother and that Uncle Ye are flirting with each other."

Seventh Brother is undeterred, "He doesn't seem to have much to talk to women about."

Bai Lu was ordinary, "Flirting with men is a routine."

Putting these things aside, Seventh Brother saw the big white cat next to Boss Ye before he left.

Her eyes lit up immediately - because it was the most beautiful cat she had ever seen in Hengyin!

Compared with the vulgar and vulgar fans of the cat cafe next door, it is simply the top card of the cat's love potion.

Her eyes were straight, and she wanted to go up and negotiate with Boss Ye.

The big white cat saw the woman's eyes from a distance, and Ma Liu climbed up to the prize counter of the membership event, got into a travel backpack, and closed the zipper with its claws.

Pulled from the inside to the outside, a bunch of hair is still stuck outside without pain.

There are three words written on the small gift window of the lucky draw.
