"Yuemin, did you find anything?" Li Kuiyong asked when he saw Zhong Yuemin coming back.

"Oh······" Zhong Yuemin was sluggish for a moment, "I didn't find it, I was taken away." ”

"Who is this, dare to steal people's things in broad daylight?" He Dayong shouted.

"Who is this, didn't Yuemin catch it a long time ago?

He Dayong······

"Brother Yuemin, what did you throw away?" Xiao Shou saw that Zhong Yuemin's mood was a little low, and he said with concern.

"Oh?" Zhong Yuemin pouted again, "a pair of socks." ”

"A pair of socks?" said the little hand incredulously.

"A pair of socks?" Li Kuiyong and He Dayong were also stunned, and He Dayong asked, "There is money in the socks?"

"Nope. ”

"Socks are made of gold?" He Dayong asked again.

"No, it's cotton socks. ”

Li Kuiyong put his hand on Zhong Yuemin's forehead: "Then you have a fever?"

"Get out of the way!" Zhong Yuemin knocked off Li Kuiyong's hand.

"It's not a fever, why can you run back for a pair of socks?" Li Kuiyong couldn't figure it out when he thought about it.

"That's the only pair of clean socks I have, and I don't have to wear them if I fall off!" Zhong Yuemin explained casually, "Let's go quickly, it's half an afternoon, and if you don't leave, I don't know when we will be able to get to Jinghong!"

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's not waste time here. He Dayong also felt that they had been delayed too long in Kunming.

"Where are we going to take a ride?" Li Kuiyong said to He Dayong: "Did your sister tell you?"

"She didn't mention it, and she didn't want me to come. He Dayong said.

"Then what should I do? This person is unfamiliar with the place, and he can't understand when he asks someone for directions!" Li Kuiyong smacked.

"I've inquired about it, and there is an office of the Construction Corps a few streets ahead, so we can go there and ask if there is a car to Jinghong." "Kokuto.

He Dayong said: "Then why don't we just take a car? Even if the construction corps has a car, it must be a truck pulling goods, and it hurts to bump in the butt." ”

"There is only one minibus to Jinghong every day, and they all leave at 8 o'clock in the morning. The little hand shrugged.

"Well, that means, let's either go to the office to try our luck, or find a place to spend the night and make a minibus tomorrow. Li Kuiyong then said, "I chose to try my luck in the office, what about you?"

"To the office, of course!" said Little Hands, of course.

Zhong Yuemin: "Office." ”

"Then let's go!" Xiao Shou led the way, followed by Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong.

He Dayong, who was still hesitating, hurriedly said: "I haven't made a decision yet!"

"Three to one, you don't matter!" Li Kuiyong smiled, "Do you love to come, remind me, you didn't have a letter of introduction, and you weren't accepted as a blind stream!"

"I ·······" He Dayong really couldn't get up, and watched the three of them walk away, and hurriedly followed: "Won't I be able to go?!"

······

"Hello, comrade!"

The Kunming office of the Construction Corps is actually more like a large warehouse, and if it weren't for the sign hanging at the door, Zhong Yuemin would have thought it was a scrap yard! Zhong Yuemin casually intercepted a person.

The man walked in a hurry, a little impatient, but still stopped: "Hello, may I ask what is the matter?"

"We want to go to Jinghong to visit the educated youth, and we want to ask if our office has a car that can take us a foot. ”

"Huh!" the man couldn't help but laugh, "all the cars came to our office?"

"Comrade, the car to Jinghong is gone today, let's rush over again, so I thought I would ask. Xiaoshou hurriedly explained, afraid of being regarded as a person who took advantage of the public.

"Who are you who are the educated youths you are going to visit?"

"His sister!" the little hand pointed at He Dayong.

He Dayong also hurriedly stood up, "Yes, yes, my sister." ”

"What company is your sister from, and what's her name?" the staff didn't believe him easily.

"The second division, one regiment, three battalions and two companies are called He Xiuxiu. He Dayong hurriedly took out the letter he was carrying and read it according to it.

"What's your name again?" the man asked, his face cloudy.

"He Xiuxiu. He Dayong replied, "Comrade, do you know?"

"I don't know!" said the man, turning and leaving.

The little hand chased after him and asked, "Comrade, is there a car to Jinghong Xishuangbanna?"

"You wait!" the man dropped a sentence and entered the office without looking back.

Zhong Yuemin and a few people had to wait, and they saw cars in and out of the yard, constantly transporting things from the warehouse.

······

After waiting for half an hour, another cadre in military uniform came over and threw a green raincoat to each of them, "Follow me in the car!"

Zhong Yuemin still wanted to ask what the situation was, but the soldier had already strode into the driver's compartment and closed the door.

"No need to ask, let's take the car and climb quickly!" Li Kuiyong said weakly.

"Just have a car to sit on, don't worry about so much!" said the little hand, and climbed up the car fence while lying on his stomach.

He Dayong, who had always been picky before, now climbed into the car without saying a word, probably because he was about to see his sister, he was a little timid.

Zhong Yuemin took his little hand with a flushed face, "Kui Yong, pull a handful on it." ”

"Okay. Li Kuiyong had already climbed up, and he pulled his little hand up, and then pulled Zhong Yuemin and He Dayong up.

As soon as a few people sat down, the car started and staggered out of the office gate.

Li Kuiyong pressed the sack under his buttocks, felt that it was quite elastic, and buttoned a small hole, "Hey, you are all raincoats?"

"Really. Xiao Shou also looked at it, "And they also gave one of us a raincoat, what is this for?"

"I guess it's going to rain, my sister said in her heart that it is very easy to rain in Xishuangbanna, and it rains several times a day, for several months in a row, without stopping. He Dayong said.

"Ah, isn't that a disaster?" said Little Hand in surprise.

"No, I heard that you don't have anything dry on your body all day long, and your clothes have to be roasted over fire. He Dayong nodded.

Li Kuiyong was a little unconvinced, "Dayong, don't talk nonsense, you really want to be like you said, then the people in that place are just living?"

"Believe it or not, we'll be here soon, won't we know when the time comes?" He Dayong said.

Zhong Yuemin did not participate in their discussions, he had never been to Xishuangbanna, but had only read a few articles written by Wang Xiaobo involving Yunnan, and knew that it was the rainy season in Xishuangbanna.

He did something, pushed up the sacks from the cart to create a space that surrounded them on three sides, and sealed the top with a raincoat.

"Brother Yuemin, what are you doing here?" Xiao Shou was a little puzzled.

"Just in case, if it really rains halfway, we can take shelter from the rain. ”

"Oh, I see, but this place is too small for the four of us to squeeze into?" He Dayong gestured according to his figure.

Zhong Yuemin said: "When did I say that I let you in? This place is for me and my little hands." ”

"Then what about me and Kuiyong?"

"Cold salad!" Zhong Yuemin pillowed his head with his hands, lay on the sack, looked at the night starry river, felt the slight breeze, and actually felt sleepy.

He Dayong looked at Zhong Yuemin who was lying down, and he had no choice but to look at Li Kuiyong: "Kuiyong, let's also build a nest, if it rains, squeeze together?"

"If it rains, I have this. Li Kuiyong pointed to his raincoat, "Anyway, whoever likes to do it, whoever gets it, don't bother me!"

Saying that, Li Kuiyong also lay back and pretended to sleep.

He Dayong looked at it again, and his little hands were also dozing off next to the sack.

At this time, except for the stars in the sky and the headlights of the convoy following behind, it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.

He Dayong was busy for a long time before he set up a small rain shelter, which was just enough to accommodate his big body. After a while, he was so tired that he was sweating like rain, and he fell directly on the sack, and after a while, he snored.

·······

The convoy drove out of the city, and the asphalt road became a gravel road, then a dirt road, and then it couldn't even be called a road.

The truck circled and turned on the rugged mountain road, undulating and swaying on the bumpy road, but it never woke a few people, they tossed and turned on the train for so many days, and took a hot shower, and all the fatigue in their bodies was released at once.

Zhong Yuemin also slept grogily, as if he had returned to the small river in Baidian Village, he was pillowed on Qin Ling's lap, the bright sunshine made him a little unable to open his eyes, he had to look at Qin Ling between his eyelashes.

Qin Ling had a smile in his eyes, his face was red, his skin was as white as fat, the tip of his nose was sweating slightly, and his long black hair hung down to the tip of his nose, making his nose a little itchy.

Maybe it was too comfortable, Zhong Yuemin actually dozed off, Qin Ling used his hand to scoop up the water in the river and sprinkle it on Zhong Yuemin's face, but he still didn't wake up, Qin Ling sprinkled more water, and it actually wet Zhong Yuemin's face.

Zhong Yuemin wanted to stop Qin Ling, but he couldn't stop it, struggled, suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked around, only to remember that he was in the truck.

At this time, the heavens in the sky have long been hidden somewhere, and the wind is carrying rain, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

"Little hands, wake up!" Zhong Yuemin quickly got up and shouted to wake up the little hands leaning next to him.

Then he woke up Li Kuiyong and He Dayong, "Hurry up and hide from the rain, otherwise you will be soaked and don't know when you will be able to stop." ”

After speaking, Zhong Yuemin pushed his little hand into the canopy he had built before, put on a raincoat himself, and leaned on a little outside.

The little hand curled up and squeezed in as much as possible, "Brother Yuemin, come inside, it's raining too much, don't get wet." ”

"It's okay, there's a raincoat in the way, it's not a big problem, you just take care of yourself!

"I'm not a child, so I don't get sick that easily!" said the little hand funny.

Zhong Yuemin moved his seat and completely protected his little hands inside, "Where are so many words, just protect yourself!"

Through the rain curtain, Zhong Yuemin couldn't see the situation on Li Kuiyong and He Dayong's side clearly, so he had to shout: "Kuiyong, Dayong, how are you?"

"It's okay, it's good!" replied with a shout.

He Dayong also shouted: "It's very bad, Kui Yong took up the place where I was riding, and half of my body was in the rain!"

As soon as Zhong Yuemin heard the music, the two of them must have fought for a place to hide from the rain, "You two stop a little, this car is still driving, don't have an accident!"

"Don't worry, Yuemin, you know it!" replied Li Kuiyong.

"I ······ Woowoo woo ······" Before He Dayong could speak, it was like his mouth was covered, and he couldn't make a sound.

"The two of them are so much fun, they can pinch each other anywhere!" said Little Hand with a smile.

"These two living treasures!" Zhong Yuemin also smiled.

······

The convoy continued to drive, because the rain was too heavy and the night was too dark, and the speed of the car was a little slower, but it still did not stop.

Zhong Yuemin and his little hands were back to back, snuggling tightly together, feeling each other's body temperature.

"Little hand, how did you live before you met your uncle?" Zhong Yuemin asked suddenly.

The body of the little hand trembled, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, "Wandering around, trying my best to fill my stomach, begging for food, picking up garbage, and grabbing bones with dogs." Hehe, then the street was enough to walk around me. ”

The little hand smiled, but Zhong Yuemin didn't laugh, "Where do you sleep at night?"

"On the park benches, under the eaves, in the grass nest, I have slept in the grass, I am most afraid of a rainy day like this, everywhere is wet, at that time if I can find a place like this shelter from the wind and rain, I will really dream of waking up with laughter!"

"Have you ever been bullied?" Zhong Yuemin pulled the corners of his mouth and asked again.

"That's a lot, I'm skinny and have little strength, and I'm often bullied by adults, and the worst of them are older children, who are the most ruthless. But it's nothing, being beaten is no worse than being hungry. The little hand spoke slowly, as if speaking of someone else.

Zhong Yuemin hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "What about before entering the orphanage? Do you know your parents? and where is your home?"

Xiaoshou was silent for a while, "I don't know, I heard from the dean that I was sent to the orphanage from the hospital, and when I was found, I wrapped the bed sheets, put them in a cardboard box, and threw them at the entrance of the hospital." ”

"Have you ever thought about them?"

"When I was in the orphanage, I often thought about it, and I guessed what my parents were like with other children, but I didn't think about it when I ran out of the orphanage. Xiaoshou said: "It's in vain to think about it, maybe I won't see them in my life." ”

The little hand spoke with ease, but it couldn't hide the sadness in his voice.

Zhong Yuemin was quiet for a while and didn't speak.

"Brother Yuemin, why don't you speak?" said the little hand strangely.

"My mom left when I was ten years old, and it's just me and my dad in my house, do you want to be my sister?" Zhong Yuemin asked solemnly.

"Brother Yuemin, you ······ How do you know ······" Little Hand asked in alarm.

"Actually, I didn't lose my socks, I just went back to the aunt who collected money from the bathhouse and asked a question. Zhong Yuemin listened, "I asked her if we received the wrong money, and she said no, the men's bath is one and a half, the women's one dime, three men and one woman, a total of five cents." ”

"Hey!" the little hand patted his head, "No, you shouldn't go to the shower!"

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Zhong Yuemin smiled, "Are you willing to be my sister?"

Small Hands······
