【004】Meet an old friend on the road
Zhong Kui escaped in the midst of the war. He remembered that when he ran out of the door of Mr. Lu, he didn't know which of them was the couple, and used the bowl as a weapon and smashed it at the other side. A crisp and clear sound came from behind him. While he was shocked, he was sweating all over, it was not difficult to guess that all the bowls should have been smashed.
When the couple became like this, they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill. They just pedaled the pedal one after another. They had to pay attention to the bumpy appearance at any time. What they were afraid of was an accidental subversion, and the car and people were overturned into the field.
The horizontal grooves formed by folded patterns and unevenly sized vertical shaking marks. These horizontal grooves are all caused by the mud road surface when it rains, and then they pass by bicycles and crushed by sow Jialing. After the rain is clear, the road surface of the ravines emits moisture. Under the baking of the sun, the winding horizontal grooves are like wrinkles on the face of an old man, and they cannot be smooth.
Zhong Kui's wheels were trapped in a relatively deep, narrow and horizontal ditch, and he could not break through, and the car overturned and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was tall enough that when the car was about to fall, he stretched out his long legs and stepped on the ground in time, so that he did not make a fool of himself in front of those who came and went home from the market.
He helped the car up and slapped the dust on his body. When he pushed the car with inertia, he wanted to pedal and continue moving forward, his pedals were loose and as flexible as the windmill car, and he found that there was something wrong with the car and the chain was broken.
He sighed, lifted the rear wheels and set up the car. This time, he slowly rolled the chain - when he squatted on the chain, someone passed by him from time to time.
Zhong Kui has no familiar or familiar person here. Except for the couple who fought just now, the rest are strangers, so these strangers do not have the time to care about whom. This is reasonable and nothing is strange.
However, if someone unexpectedly cares about your emergencies in such a place, then it should be strange. Someone is asking Zhong Kui: "Is the car broken?"
It should be a woman when I hear the sound.
Out of politeness, Zhong Kui turned around and glanced at the other person casually - the words he said were hard on his throat and could not be said at once. Because the person who greeted him was not someone else, but Xiao Xu, who had once shared hardships with each other.
At the same time, Xiao Xu also noticed him. The two of them screamed in surprise: "It's you?"
"Hi, it's me." Zhong Kui stood up, not knowing where to put his eyes without being embarrassed.
‘Puff’ “The car broke down”
"Yes, you saw it all, and you still asked?"
"Okay! Can it be fixed?"
"No problem, it's just that the chain falls off, it should be done right away." As he said that, thinking that the other party would leave, he squatted down and continued to pick up the chain...
"Then, you - are you from? Are you going there?" She seemed to have no intention of leaving, and even approached and asked.
It was noon at this time, and the sky suddenly became gloomy like a light rain. It was stuffy and hot, but it couldn't be too hasty. The chain was a meticulous task, and you had to take it slowly.
After sweating, he couldn't succeed again and again, and his frigidity in his heart made him unable to calm down. Facing Xiao Xu's question, he answered a little far-fetchedly: "It's nothing big. When you pass by, the car got stuck in these ditches and overturned."
"Oh, have you had lunch?" Xiao Xu finally asked the main question. It was noon now. I don't know if he had lunch or went to a certain family to visit relatives.
Zhong Kui finally got the chain done, stood up, and replied patiently: "I have lunch and breakfast, and I'm rushing home."
"Oh!" Xiao Xu seemed a little disappointed, replied casually, and slowly turned around-
Zhong Kui pushed the car and tried the operation of the chain. When he saw that he could pedal, he was ready to pedal and leave—
"Hey!" Xiao Xu, who thought he had left, suddenly shouted at him and said, "How are you doing recently?"
Zhong Kui held the handlebars and looked back at her. Then he looked at Xiao Xu carefully. She seemed to have lost weight and looked a little bit lacking in nutrition. Her eyes became bigger but she was blind and had a dull complexion. She couldn't help but wonder, could she have something to do with her?
"I'm fine, you - what's the matter?" He was thinking about what Mr. Lu asked for, and he was a little perfunctory when facing Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I--nothing, I'm here to have a wedding banquet at my relative's house. However, it's still far from here, I think--" She glanced at Zhong Kui's bicycle hesitantly, looked up at the sunny sky. This was clearly a silent hint, and the climate was unbearable. The relative's house was still a distance, and there was a ready-made bicycle to ride here...
The other party had such a clear hint, I don’t know if it was Zhong Kui who was pretending to be reckless or really confused. He said "um" and wanted to leave after a long time when he saw that the other party had nothing to say.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiao Xu couldn't force him to stay.
"You go." His voice was sad, but he looked helpless, and he turned around and opened the distance between him and Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui, who had just stepped onto the car, subconsciously wanted to turn his head and look at Xiao Xu who was gradually moving away from behind. He almost fell down again and hurriedly got out of the car. He savored her words and behavior just now, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have something to say to him.
Without much consideration, he hurriedly turned the head of the car to chase Xiao Xu.
This is a mechanized farming road that extends far away. At the end of the mechanized farming road is a river. The river is not wide, about five meters away! A small boat ferrying back and forth can carry ten people at a time. People who come to the market on the other side of the river have to take this only tool. If you take a boat back and forth, you have to pay a ferry fee of 50 cents.
Xiao Xu said that the wedding event held by his relatives was not to celebrate the birthday of the elderly or to move in a house, but to hold a secluded marriage for his cousin. She said that his cousin died of Ruoshui. A few days ago, his uncle-in-law suddenly fell ill after an emergency. The cousin's aunt went to ask Mi Xian Gu, and asked Mi Xian Gu that his cousin was at the age of marriage and wanted to get married, so he possessed him and caused trouble.
Zhong Kui listened quietly to what Xiao Xu said and promised her not to tell others about this. But he was thinking about it. Mr. Lu lost his daughter's bones and Xiao Xu's relatives wanted to have a slight marriage. Will there be any connection between them?
After boarding the ship, Xiao Xu refused Zhong Kui's suggestion to continue sending her. It is said that he was afraid that the relatives' family would see a misunderstanding, so he did not want him to continue.
The proprietress who was just ferrying kept shouting to Zhong Kui, "Hey, why are you doing there when you are stunned? Just get on the boat."
Zhong Kui shook his head, pointed at Xiao Xu and said to the boss lady, "Be careful of your artemisia pole--"
