Chapter 8: Don't Read Afterward
Xu Ling is wearing jeans today, a white undershirt on her upper body, a black baseball cap, a ponytail tied behind her head, no powder, she looks pure as a lotus, at least Liu Liang thinks it looks much better than heavy makeup.
She ran in a hurry, her braids swaying happily at the back of her head, adding to the cuteness. Liu Liang's eyesight is excellent, and he can even see a layer of fine beads of sweat on the tip of her small nose from a distance.
"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person...... Huh?" Running in front of Liu Liang in one breath, Xu Ling was taken aback, and then was stunned. She saw Liu Liang coming out of the house, but she didn't expect to run closer to take a look, but the image was completely different from what she remembered, but when she was about to apologize, she found that she was wrong again......
"Are you Liu Liang?" Xu Ling was dumbfounded and asked a very stupid sentence.
The two have been classmates from elementary school to high school, and they are too familiar, but this moment is very unfamiliar. The young man's face in front of him seems to be Liu Liang's, but this figure and skin are ......
"That's me. Liu Liang opened his mouth and smiled, "I don't even have a father and mother, can I still have twin brothers." ”
"It's really Liu Liang, my God!" Xu Ling's eyes were about to fall, the person was still the same person, but compared with a few days ago, the image was very different, "How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible in the world, young man. Liu Liang had to play haha, he couldn't explain this matter to anyone.
"Ahaha...... Sure enough, it's not impossible to be young, haha......" Xu Ling had to laugh haha, but she laughed a little dryly. But she is not stupid, since people refuse to say it, it is impossible for them to ask anything.
"Are you going to school? It's not the day of school yet, right?" Liu Liang asked suspiciously when he saw Xu Ling carrying a backpack.
A trace of sorrow inadvertently flashed on Xu Ling's delicate face, and then she covered it up, and said with a smile: "Where, the family is in a panic, I went to the county seat to buy some books and came back to read, there are still some days before school starts." ”
The two nodded to each other and walked side by side, walking along the winding mountain road into the distance.
Speaking of which, the two have been classmates for 12 years, but they don't have much to do with each other, although they are both top students in the class, their status is too far apart. Generally, students who excel in learning will be favored by teachers, but Liu Liang is an exception, he is poor and crippled, and even the homeroom teacher who claims to love talent does not like to take care of him, and of course he will not have any past with a rich girl like Xu Ling.
If the meteor does not appear, it is believed that the two will continue to walk along different trajectories, farther and farther apart, until they disappear into each other's memories.
"Oh......"
Probably feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the two of them said "oh" at the same time, ready to find a topic to talk about.
"Poof", Xu Ling couldn't help laughing, Liu Liang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and asked, "Why don't you go to the county seat and don't drive Ding Zhiyuan?"
The smile on Xu Ling's face immediately retracted, and she changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you beat Yu Xiaomao?"
"He troubled me first, and he made the first move. Liu Liang hurriedly argued.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a good game. Xu Ling didn't care at all, "That guy is not a good thing, I know how to bully honest people, I have long seen him as unpleasant." ”
Liu Liang was also shocked, it seems that he still didn't know enough about Xu Ling before, she is not the arrogant Miss I imagined, and I don't know right from wrong.
Unconsciously, the relationship between the two seems to have narrowed a little, and the distance that has not changed for twelve years has gradually shown signs of loosening.
Liu Liang sighed in his heart, in the past, he would be nervous as soon as he approached Xu Ling, and even his heartbeat would speed up, but now that they are so close, they are still calm. At this time, he realized that although he was very stubborn in the past and was unwilling to do anything, he was actually inferior after all, and now it has disappeared.
Today's luck is particularly good, coupled with the time pinch, not long after arriving at the side of the road, a bus to the county seat every day arrived as scheduled, not early or late. There are not many people in the car, and both of them have places after getting in the car.
As soon as the bus started, a white car whizzed past the car, and Liu Liang recognized it as Ding Zhiyuan's car.
"Leave him alone. Xu Ling sat still, her mask was frosty, obviously angry.
Seeing this scene, Liu Liang knew it in his heart, and couldn't help sighing, it seems that Xu Ling is also insincere, they should be in love, but they have been awkward recently. Somehow, his heart was a little astringent.
Because of the appearance of a car, the two of them were silent again, almost silent all the way, and two hours later, the county seat arrived.
The small county town in the mountains is not big, but it is the season to collect mountain goods, it is quite lively, the two got off the car and made an appointment with each other, met here two hours later, and then took the car back together.
Guanli Lane in the county is the only commercial area, the street is not big, there are many shops, and it is very noisy at noon. Of course, this place can't be compared with the big city, but although the sparrow is small, it has everything.
Liu Liang quickly sold all the mountain goods he brought, exchanged them for 300 yuan, and then picked up clothes at a stall. Since he didn't have much money, he was going to buy only a few single clothes this time, as for spring and autumn clothes and winter clothes...... I can only wait for next time.
"Boss, how much do these pants sell?" Liu Liang asked as he picked up a pair of jeans.
The stall owner is a short and sturdy middle-aged man, who is about to offer a price when he hears the words and smiles, and suddenly his face changes.
"Young man, my clothes here are expensive, and you can't afford them in the mountains, so go to another house. "The stall owners are very familiar with the folk customs here, and generally people like Liu Liang who go to the street with backpacks on their backs are from the mountains.
The stall owner who was originally smiling hurt people, but Liu Liang was stunned by him, and his anger immediately came up. But he was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly saw the stall owner wink at him, and handed over an indescribable look.
"This ......" Liu Liangzheng was puzzled, and there was a touch behind him.
The current Liu Liang's reaction speed is far beyond ordinary people, and as soon as he noticed it, his hand immediately stretched out like lightning.
"Oops!"
There was an exclamation from the noisy street market, and passers-by turned their heads to look, only to see Liu Liang holding a thin man's hand, twisted it at 90 degrees, and holding a roll of red tickets in his hand.
The thin man was held by someone, and he couldn't resist at all, his body twisted and half knelt on the ground, and his face was deformed in pain.
"This guy is a thief, stealing my money!" Liu Liang pointed at the thin man and scolded hatefully, he had saved those mountain goods for three months, and he had worked hard to exchange them for 300 yuan, and it would be miserable if he stole them.
Unexpectedly, people seemed to have become accustomed to this scene, and no one blamed the pickpockets, let alone came up to help, and people continued to shop their streets as if they didn't hear or see.
The thin man twisted his neck and scolded Liu Liang: "Son of a bitch, I saw that your money had fallen, so I was kind enough to help you pick it up, and you still ...... Oops, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
Liu Liang was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he wanted to break this man's arm, but in the end he let go and put him on the ground. This guy is very cunning, there is no camera in the small county town, and the people on the street don't seem to be able to testify against him, so he can't do anything to him if he is pulled to the police station.
Fortunately, the money was not lost, Liu Liang carefully packed the money closely, kicked the thin man, turned around and walked away. It's really bad luck to meet pickpockets when he goes out, and he doesn't want to entangle.
After changing to another one, Liu Liang quickly bought all the things and filled the half-back basket, and just as he was about to embark on the way home, there were continuous exclamations from there, the street exploded, and pedestrians fled in all directions.
The crowd dodged away, only to see four big men trampling the stall owner on the ground just now, one of them took off his shoes, used the soles of his shoes to slap the stall owner's face, and scolded, "Call you more mouthful, tell you more mouth!"
The stall owner struggled painfully, and his face became swollen in a blink of an eye.
Looking at this scene, Liu Liang instantly exploded in anger, it was obvious that these people were the accomplices of the pickpocket just now, and the stall owner kindly reminded him, but they were angry.
Even if there is no reminder from the stall owner, the pickpocket can't take Liu Liang's money, but now people are really beaten because of themselves, and they can't stay out of it.
Looking left and right, Liu Liang picked up a stool and rushed over in a few big steps, kicked one in the air, picked up the stool and shot out two more, grabbed the stall owner and flashed aside.
The crowd was in an uproar, and now Liu Liang was still a little thin, but he was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and lifted the stall owner of more than 100 catties with one hand, which looked effortless.
Only then did several big men react, and they all stood up straight, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they surrounded them in a semicircle.
Liu Liang was not afraid at all, put down the stall owner, and grabbed a stool in front of him with both hands to stand guard.
The scene was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the onlookers were all holding their breath.
"The police are coming!"
At the critical moment, I don't know who screamed loudly, and the four big men were taken aback, looked at each other, and retreated at the same time.
"Boy, dare to knock on Ma Ye's head, you are still the first one, there is a kind. The big man in the lead, shirtless and covered with tattoos, said a word viciously, led a few people into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Liu Liang just put down the stool, and a policeman came, and after questioning, he chased after them.
"Thank you, brother. The stall owner grabbed Liu Liang and couldn't help but thank him.
Liu Liang's face was red, if it weren't for himself, people wouldn't have been beaten, so why did he thank him. "Big brother, I'm sorry you are, I'm ...... here"
Liu Liang wanted to compensate others for medical expenses, but he felt in his pocket and remembered that he had spent all the money......
The stall owner wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand, "Brother, brother is not short of money." ”
"What's your name, big brother, and where do you live?" Liu Liang was unwilling to ask, the stall owner was a good person, and he wanted to make friends with others.
The stall owner's eldest brother smiled heartily when he heard this, "The people who run the dock, they are adrift, I am afraid that we will never have the opportunity to meet again in this life, as long as we are good together, we will forget about separation." ”
Liu Liang shook his head, he was still young after all, and he didn't understand many things.
The stall owner has already started to close the stall, and he can't stay in this small county town anymore, so he told while cleaning up: "Young man, it's not too early, you should go home too, right?"
"Oh no!" Liu Liang patted his head when he heard this, after delaying for so long, the time he had made an appointment with Xu Ling was about to arrive, so he had to hurry.
"Big brother, I'm leaving, and I'll have a date later. Liu Liang ran away in a hurry, he didn't want to miss the appointment.
Looking at Liu Liang's back in a panic, the stall owner shook his head with a smile.
And behind him, Xiao Mao's fat head poked out of an alley, looked at it, beckoned, and shouted softly: "Master Ma, it's this kid, as long as you get him smooth, the village chief Ding is willing to make this number!"
