Chapter 4 The Thief
"Damn, where am I?"
After going down the mountain, Lu Li saw an endless field, his face was as green as the weeds in the field.
Take out the phone,HuaweiP20It's still in a shutdown state,Hundreds of prompt messages pop up immediately after turning it onγ
Most of them were from the same number, and there were also several scam text messages, which Lu Li directly ignored.
Click on the navigation software, set the school as the destination, and a prompt of fifty kilometers pops up on the screen, and Lu Li's face is even more ugly.
It's deserted, not to mention cars, not even a walk-behind tractor, and if you want to go back, you have to rely on your legs.
Fortunately, Lu Li's meridians have recovered, although it is hard to walk, it can be bearable, if it is changed before, you will have to sweat profusely and pant if you can't walk a kilometer.
Two hours later, Lu Li felt that his legs were weak and dizzy, his stomach was rumbling, and he sat on the side of the road, never wanting to leave again.
Since stealing the girl's food, for two days and one night now, Lu Lishui has not eaten rice, and after a fierce battle with the long-haired man, the physical exertion is huge, and he will collapse to death if he doesn't eat something.
"The old man who slammed the door didn't know how to leave me for a meal. "Lu centrifuges in slander.
"Didi ......"
A truck is coming, Lu Li is overjoyed, if you can take a ride, you can save a lot of physical strength.
Lu Li hurriedly waved his hand, but the driver had no intention of stopping, and stepped on the accelerator and left with a bang, leaving only the dust in the sky.
"Ahem......"
Lu Li was raised with a dirty face, his mouth full of sand and dust, and he gritted his teeth and creaked.
"Phew!"
Lu Li is angry, people are too unloving now, they can die if they take a ride!
The name of the autumn tiger is not called in vain, although it is autumn, but the sun is like fire, the heat is unbearable, the earth is baked like an iron plate, and Lu Li is the squid on it.
After not replenishing water for a long time, coupled with the rush for several hours, Lu Li began to show symptoms of dehydration, his legs were heavy like lead, his questions increased but there was no sweat, his lips were chapped, and his eye sockets collapsed.
"Water...... Water ......"
Lu Li was like a zombie, walking mechanically on the country road, staring blankly ahead, looking at everything like food.
"Melon!
Turning the corner, a sea of green appeared in front of me, and under the emerald green vines, there were large watermelons with round and patterned patterns.
Lu Li's saliva flowed, like a wild horse on the loose, and ran into the watermelon field like joy.
Lu Li found the biggest one, smashed the watermelon with one punch, held it and feasted on it, the sweet and cool melon pulp filled the mouth, slid through the esophagus and moistened the stomach, Lu Li was moved to cry again.
There is such a delicious watermelon in the world, sweet and sandy, cool and thirst-quenching, and I don't change it for a peach!
"Why did you steal my watermelon!"
A crisp voice came from behind, Lu Li's body stiffened, and he complained bitterly in his heart, why was he caught every time he stole something to eat, it was so decaying!
When I turned my head to look, I saw a little girl standing nervously not far away.
Dressed in a high school uniform, with short ear-length hair, a cherry mouth, a pair of apricot eyes, a pair of apricot eyes, holding a steel fork in her arms, and a look of confusion, it seems that it is not Lu Li who steals melons, but herself.
After the little girl finished speaking, there was no follow-up, Lu Li squatted on the ground and held the watermelon in great embarrassment, the two of them stared at each other and didn't know what to do, the scene was very embarrassing.
This situation reminded Lu Li of Mr. Lu Xun's novel, a short paragraph in "Hometown".
"There was a full golden moon hanging in the deep blue sky, and below it was the sand of the sea, and there were endless green watermelons, and there was a boy of eleven or twelve years old, wearing a silver ring on his neck, and holding a steel fork in his hand, and stabbed at a horse with all his might, but the man twisted his body and fled from under his crotch. β
"You...... Why did you steal my watermelon?"
The little girl raised her voice, but her tone was obviously a little trembling, and she was emboldening herself again.
Recently, the melon field has been repeatedly stolen, the little girl's family of three, pointing to sell melons to make money, the price of watermelons has fallen this year, and it was not sold for a few dollars, and then it was stolen a lot, and the family is looking to drink the northwest wind.
The little girl watched her father get haggard day by day, and took advantage of the weekend when she didn't go to class, so she volunteered to come and see the melon field, so that her father could go home and have a good rest.
It stands to reason that no one steals melons during the day, and the little girl hides under the pergola to do her homework.
"You can't steal my watermelons, these are to be sold to supplement the family, if you steal my melons, I won't have the money to go to school......"
As she spoke, the little girl squatted on the ground and began to cry.
Lu Li couldn't see the girl crying the most, the delicate appearance of the pear blossoms with rain, and the heart-breaking choking, Lu Li's heart was about to break.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I'm so thirsty, I'm losing money!"
Lu Li hurriedly took out his pocket, but he felt empty and suddenly became embarrassed.
The pocket is cleaner than the face, how can there be money to pay people money.
The little girl also noticed Lu Li's embarrassment, his hair was messy like a chicken's nest, his short-sleeved jeans were torn, he was covered with mud, and his face was haggard.
"Why don't I give you my phone? β
Lu Li handed the Huawei P20 to the little girl, he bought it for 3,000 yuan, which was more than enough for a watermelon.
The little girl hurriedly shook her head and refused, although she couldn't afford to use the mobile phone, but she also knew the value of this mobile phone, the watermelons lost in the past few days were only five or six hundred, the value of this mobile phone was enough to buy half of her family's melons, she couldn't take advantage of it.
What's more, Lu Li looks worse than her, and he must have encountered something bad to end up in such a field.
The little girl is kind-hearted, if it weren't for her own difficulties, she would have wanted to help Lu Li.
"I don't want your phone, as long as you don't come to steal watermelons in the future. The little girl said with a sob.
People are magnanimous, and Lu Li is even more ashamed, so he has to give the phone to the little girl, but the little girl insists on not wanting to.
"Oops!"
Just as she was pushing, the little girl slipped and fell backwards, and Lu Liyan quickly wrapped her arms around her waist, and the time froze, looking extremely ambiguous.
"Let go of that girl!"
An aunt ran fiercely, the broom in her hand danced like a windmill, and Lu Li hugged her head and ran away.
"Auntie, you misunderstood, I didn't bully this little girl!"
"Misunderstand your grandmother's mouth! The old lady is not blind, the shameless stinky rascal actually bullied Xiao Jing, and the old lady skinned you!"
Lu Wei wailed, I wanted to compensate for the little girl, but who knew that I was misunderstood by my aunt, it was really yellow mud that fell into the crotch of my pants, and it was not but was also.
"Aunt Mei, it's not what you think, he really didn't bully me!"
Xiao Jing stopped between the two, her pretty face was shy and anxious.
Aunt Mei protected Xiao Jing behind her, her eyes were like two sharp knives, and she glared angrily.
"Xiao Jing, don't be afraid, with me, I will never let this stinky rascal bully you!"
Xiao Jing stomped her feet anxiously, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"Aunt Mei, he didn't bully me, he stole watermelon and wanted to compensate me ......"
This sentence seemed to stab a hornet's nest, and Aunt Mei was furious.
"It turned out that you stole the watermelon, the old Liu family was already living a miserable life, and you didn't have a conscience to harm others, it's really a loss of conscience, see if I don't break your dog's legs!"
Aunt Mei was like a crazy tigress, fluttering her teeth and claws, Lu Li was so frightened that she turned her head to run, but her ankle was entangled in melon vines, and she fell to the ground, and a dog gnawed on the mud.
"I still want to run!"
The aunt does farm work all the year round, her wrists are thicker than Lu Li's legs, and her hands are ruthless and accurate, grabbing Lu Li's hair and lifting him up, and beating him with a broom that doesn't want money.
Half an hour later, Lu Li, who had a blue nose and swollen face, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his short sleeves were torn, his jeans became cropped pants, one foot was bare, and his shoes flew somewhere.
Aunt Mei carried a broom, and she was as proud as an old hen fighting victorious.
Xiao Jing rubbed the corners of her clothes, biting her pink lips, and looked uneasy.
Lu Li was beaten so miserably, she felt very guilty, if only she could stop it in time just now.
"I don't know what is alive or dead, dare to spread wild in my mother's one-third of an acre, Xiao Jing, hurry up and call the police and arrest this melon thief!"
Xiao Jing said timidly: "Aunt Mei, it's too serious to call the police, right? You see that he has also repented, if he is arrested by the police and left a stain, his life will be ruined." β
Lu Li nodded hurriedly, but was glared at viciously by Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei said righteously: "Xiao Jing, you can't be merciful to this kind of indiscriminate, for this watermelon field, your father gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and your father ......."
"Oops!" Aunt Mei slapped her head on the door and said hurriedly: "Look at my brain, how can I forget my business! Blame this melon thief!"
"Bang, bang!" Lu Li was kicked twice.
Oh my God, you don't have a good brain, you actually take out your anger on me!
Xiao Jing said eagerly: "Aunt Mei, what's wrong with my father?"
"Your father is hospitalized, go over and have a look!"
Aunt Mei urged Xiao Jing to leave quickly, Lu Li turned his head and wanted to slip away, but Aunt Mei grabbed her by the collar.
"It's not over yet, you go with it!"
