Chapter 5: Evidence of the Truth (2)
What I saw was a tall, thin boy, standing behind her, his hands fiddling with her waist, but he didn't touch her.
Xia Xiaoyi looked down and saw that a white shirt had been tied around her waist, and the drooping clothes had covered the stains behind her.
The boy raised his hands, showed a bright smile, and said, "Please don't mind, I also have a younger sister, so ...... Please feel free to keep going. ”
The boy's face was hidden under the brim of his hat, but his smile was a little dazzling.
Xia Xiaoyi's cheeks were slightly red, a little embarrassed, and in the face of the stranger's sudden kindness, she could only thank her.
"How much does this cost? I'll compensate you. ”
However, the boy shook his head, still with that bright smile: "You can take this as fate, where can fate be clearly priced? Goodbye, friend." ”
It's a clear juvenile voice, but his accent sounds a little strange, like he doesn't often speak Mandarin.
"That...... Wait a minute. ”
The boy turned around: "Is there something wrong?"
Xia Xiaoyi took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it over: "Thank you." ”
The boy hurriedly let go of the suitcase and took the bottle of water, although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could still feel that he was in a happy mood.
Xia Xiaoyi: "Goodbye." ”
"Diagonally, goodbye. With a big smile on his face, he waved his hand and took a few steps backwards before turning to leave, walking briskly.
Xia Xiaoyi stood in place, watched the boy go away, and said to himself: "I should have grown up abroad, and the accent is so strange, I can't even say thank you." ”
At a certain moment, Xia Xiaoyi felt that this was the sunshine, and this was what they should look like at their age. It's a pity that there are two sides under the sun, there is splendor, and there must be darkness.
Others are more unfortunate and live on the dark side......
Xia Xiaoyi touched the white shirt tied around his waist, and his steps finally returned to nature, crossed the zebra crossing, and walked towards the river embankment.
Standing on the embankment, opposite is the small four-story building where the incident occurred. At the beginning, Zhao Weiqiang stood there sideways, holding his right hand with his mobile phone and throwing it to the river embankment, a parabola, and the mobile phone must have fallen into the river.
Xia Xiaoyi leaned on the fence and looked down, the river was sparkling, and there was a dazzling golden light.
Although it is still the flood season, the water level of the river has not reached its highest point, and the recent dry and hot weather has exposed the riverbed walls on both sides of the river, which are partially paved with sediment and pebbles.
The walls of the riverbed are mossy and vegetation grows in the crevices, which is not luxuriant. A few meters away is a small dock that has been blocked, from where you can climb down to the riverbed wall.
After observing the surrounding environment, Xia Xiaoyi decided to go down from the small dock.
Ten years ago, people on both sides of the river traveled in small boats for five cents, but now that the city's infrastructure is complete, ferries have long been a thing of the past.
Xia Xiaoyi came to the small pier, and an iron gate blocked her way. Below is a small protruding platform, she turned over without saying a word, the movement is not very numb, but the fall is also stable.
Descending the stairs, there is the small landing pier in front of you, and the side wall leading to the riverbed is surrounded by iron bars, rusty.
Xia Xiaoyi is petite, it is not difficult to pass through, the difficulty is that the wall of the riverbed is tilted, and the wall is covered with moss, people will definitely slip and fall into the river when they stand on it, let alone walk there.
Just as Xia Xiaoyi was distressed, a clear voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Hello, do you need help?"
This place is hidden, and the surroundings have been quiet, Xia Xiaoyi was startled by the sudden sound. When she turned around, wasn't it the owner of the white shirt who had just helped her out of trouble?
Xia Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, my phone fell and I want to pick it up." ”
"I was taken aback by you, I thought you were going to do something stupid. The boy in the baseball cap looked forward, "This is not a good position, people can't walk over unless they ......"
"Unless what?"
"Swim past. The baseball cap smiled lightly and asked, "Where did you drop your phone?"
Xia Xiaoyi was slightly embarrassed, she just looked at the environment and didn't look for her phone carefully. She shook her head: "I haven't found it yet." ”
"What's the color?"
"Color?" Xia Xiaoyi was slightly stunned, and then reacted that he was asking about the color of the phone, and she recalled, "Silver-gray." ”
The baseball cap grinned, quickly took off his shoes, took off his hat and handed it to Xia Xiaoyi, "Help me hold the hat, I'll go down and help you get your phone." ”
He said to take, not to find.
Before Xia Xiaoyi could react, he heard a pop, and the person had already jumped into the water, swinging his tall and thin body, as flexible as a fish.
Xia Xiaoyi stood in place, a little stunned, a person who had never known anything in his life didn't even ask a word, so he jumped into the river to help her find her mobile phone?
Her eyes followed him closely, only to realize that he was extremely watery. He swam about five or six meters along the riverbed wall before stopping, his chest floating on the water, his hands tugging at a bundle of vegetation on the wall.
After a while, he raised his hand towards Xia Xiaoyi, and there was a silver-gray mobile phone in his hand.
Xia Xiaoyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the sky was merciful, the mobile phone was stuck in the messy vegetation and did not fall into the river.
Looking at the man again, he bit the phone in his mouth, swung it twice, his movements were flexible and agile like a dragon, and he soon returned to the iron fence.
He handed the phone to Xia Xiaoyi first, and then grabbed the rusty fence and climbed up.
Xia Xiaoyi took the phone and pressed the on/off button, the battery life of the mobile phone is not bad, there are still more than a dozen batteries in the past so long, and Chen Xiaozhen did not lock the phone.
Looking down at the baseball cap, Xia Xiaoyi found that the other party had a round-inch haircut, which looked particularly refreshing and clean. Droplets of water fall from the forehead and run down the face to the chin.
Xia Xiaoyi just glanced at it in a hurry, and then shifted his attention back to his phone. She turned the volume down first, then called the photo album, and at the top was a video.
Clicking play, Zhao Weiqiang's face popped out, with an evil smile, staring at Xia Xiaoyi viciously.
Xia Xiaoyi couldn't help but shudder, and immediately quit the video and pressed the phone screen.
The baseball cap had already climbed up, and he stood outside the iron bar, holding the iron bar with both hands, through a few pieces of rusty iron, and asked, "Is this the phone?" If not, I'll go down and help you get it. I think there's a gold one over there. ”
Xia Xiaoyi couldn't help but be amused, she put her phone in her bag: "Come on, that's it." ”
"Okay. The baseball cap climbed up, then turned over and stood in front of Xia Xiaoyi, a full head and a half taller than her.
He picked up the hat that Xia Xiaoyi hung on one side and buttoned it on his head: "I'm leaving." ”
Coming and going in a hurry, Xia Xiaoyi shouted at his back: "I haven't thanked you yet." ”
However, the other party just waved his hand, and disappeared between the blue sky and the sparkling water level, leaving only a water stain.
Xia Xiaoyi smiled slightly, and also walked up the stairs, climbed over the fence, and returned to the river embankment.
