In the evening, Xuan Xuan sat in front of Situ Sheng's hospital bed after school and ate the three big oranges that Aunt Hong gave him.

Aunt Hong went home to cook dinner for her son, who was going to take the college entrance examination next year, and left Xuanxuan to help watch the patient.

"If the mummy wants to pee, let him wet the bed, Xuanxuan, you are too small, you can't help him, don't give him the urinal, don't stain yourself......"

Aunt Hong specially told Xuanxuan before leaving.

"Mummy" Situ Sheng was sitting on the bed with dull eyes, looking at the clever little ghost for a long time.

The big golden orange was peeled clean by a pair of small hands of the little ghost, and it was broken open.

Emma, it smells so good.

"Little ghost, your orange-" Situ Sheng woke up in the afternoon, his voice still hoarse.

"Who is the little ghost?" Xuan Xuan tilted his head, smashing and chewing on a clove of orange in his mouth.

"Your name is Xuanxuan?"

"Yes. Xuan Xuan nodded.

"Qi Ji's son?" asked Situ.

"Yes. ”

"Tangerine, can you give half to your uncle?" Situ licked his lips. Gluttonous.

He thinks the little ghost is stupid and cute, and it's easy to deceive.

Result -

"No, no. Xuan Xuan's head shook into a rattle: "Aunt Hong said that your people beat Uncle Lu and bullied Aunt Hua in the morning." ”

Xuan Xuan opened his mouth wide as he spoke, and stuffed most of the remaining oranges into his mouth.

Smash it, smash it, the juice is fragrant.

"......" Situ rolled his eyes. It took a long time to match the Uncle Lu in Xuan Xuan's mouth with Lu Li.

This place is really a good place, Lu Li, a down-and-out son, also ran here to hide, and he didn't leave, yes.

Dealing with children, Situ actually failed.

He has a son who is about the same age as Xuan Xuan, how old is he?

It took Situ a minute to recall—yes, after the New Year, he would be nine years old. After the age of six, they met him twice, and both times the child's mother threatened to die with him with a gas cylinder.

It's really-

Oh yes, oranges.

"Oops, oranges...... Oh no, Xuanxuan, you must have heard it wrong. Situ smiled wickedly, and when he laughed, the needle on his head still pierced painfully.

"You did it, Dad told me not to talk to you, and if you didn't behave, let me prick you with a needle in your head. Xuan Xuan looked serious. After eating an orange, I have to peel another one.

"Gollum ......"

"Boom ......"

Xuan Xuan looked up at the sky outside the window, closed his eyes and smelled the smell in the air, his shrugging nose looked like a puppy.

"It's going to rain. Situ couldn't turn his head and couldn't see it.

"I. Xuan Xuan frowned and thought about something, walked to the window, and stuffed the half-peeled orange into Situ's hand that had not yet subsided its swelling.

Situ hurriedly took a bite - hey, the oranges in the countryside are exceptionally sweet, and the skin is thin and the flesh is thick and tender and juicy...... Hey, why is this metaphor so similar to Din Tai Fung's xiaolong buns......

Xuan Xuan was lying on a wooden stool with paint peeling, and had just helped Situ close the window of the ward.

The glass was smashed by the raindrops.

"You are not allowed to tell my father that I am talking to you, and you are not allowed to tell Aunt Hong that I have eaten half an orange for you. Xuan Xuan climbed down from the stool, walked to the "mummy" who was crazy about eating oranges, and said seriously.

"Uh......h I won't be given oranges!" Situ's heart was very aggrieved, at this time he just wanted to call the little brothers back and bring him two boxes of oranges and put them next to his bed! A triad boss has fallen here, it is really, shameless.

Xuan Xuan looked at the window for a while, then turned his head and said, "Uncle, Dr. Chen is back, I'll go back first." ”

"Hmm-" Situ was still staring at the half of the orange that Xuan Xuan had not eaten.

"That's for Xiao Huang. ”

“？”

"My dog. Xuan Xuan replied.

He ran away with his calves clicking.

At the entrance of the town, the rain poured down, and the fishing boats on the coast in the distance swayed up and down, as if they would be blown over at any moment.

There are only two tables in the food stalls, and Uncle Guang brought a plate of salt-and-pepper shrimp to a table at the door with a cigarette in his mouth, standing under the eaves, looking at the entrance of the town with a match.

Qin's mother also poked her head out and shouted, "Hey, they haven't come back yet?"

Uncle Guang's chin shook: "Qi Ji has been looking for almost half an hour." Where's Xuanxuan?"

"I went to the hospital with Dr. Chen, and it was fine. Qin's mother also shouted.

"Boom, Boom, Boom, T

The seaside is no slower than a cloud on top of an inland city, where rain comes elusively.

Experienced fishermen sniff their noses and smell more accurately than the weather forecast, in the afternoon Lu Li insisted on riding a battery car and Hong Sanhai to deliver couriers outside He also stopped, seeing that Sanhai's small three-wheeler could not fit those large and small packages, Lu Li repeatedly promised that he would come back before the food stalls went to work in the afternoon, and Uncle Guang agreed.

Nothing will happen, right?

More than ten kilometers south of Honghai Town is Gaihan Village, which is close to the city, and their "little tail" hidden in the mountains was developed together in the early years when the urban and rural areas were combined with construction. Gaihan Village is in the mountains, and in recent years, the state has called for returning farmland to forests, and the farmers have stopped farming, and the village has been empty for a long time. Later, the government took over some of the town's land, introduced foreign capital, and developed some farmhouses, fish ponds, and summer resorts, which have developed better than their Red Sea towns over the years.

Every day, Hong Sanhai waits from the town entrance to the express delivery of various companies, and in the afternoon, he sends it to various villages in the town. There will be some packages in the town, and most of the rest will be delivered to Gaihan Village. In the villages that go inside, there are very few parcels because there are few people and every household hardly uses the Internet.

In the past, the battery car used to deliver goods in two or three hours.

I encountered Hong Sanhai's electric small three-wheeled anchorage, and encountered heavy rain.

Fortunately, Lu Li followed him, and the moped could still drive.

Seeing that there was still half a cart of packages covered by ponchos, most of them were still soaked, and Hong Sanhai stomped his feet anxiously.

He can only get a rebate for a package, and the village is remote and occasionally lost, and some courier companies directly want him to pay for it. He saw the package more precious than he saw his daughter-in-law.

"Gather your things and ride my moped. Lu Li was also anxious when he saw it, and he knew that Uncle Tingguang would send it tomorrow.

"No, you don't know the way. Hong Sanhai himself has become a soup chicken and refuses to leave.

"Why don't I know the road, there is only one road in total, I will slowly ride your tricycle to the village, you will come back to pick me up after you send it!" Lu Li estimated that the two of them had already walked five or six kilometers, and there were not many roads left.

Sanhai struggled for a long time and was persuaded by Lu Li's beautiful smile.

"Go and come back. Lu Li shivered in the heavy rain.

"Boom-" A thunderbolt struck, and Lu Li squatted down in fright.

The mountain trail is not easy to walk. Because it was uphill, Lu Li got out of the car directly and pushed the tricycle up.

The only rain poncho used to protect the most precious package and Hong Sanhai walked away, his body was wet, and he never thought that the summer rain could be so cold.

There is no time for new injuries and old injuries on the body.

Lu Li thought as he walked - probably "the sky will descend on the people."

"Boom-" was another thunderclap. The echo lingered in the cols, a thick white fog rose on the road, and occasionally stones and branches washed down the hillside, and tricycles weighed over debris, and potholes jolted.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Li's heart began to be bottomless.

He didn't walk slowly, he should have arrived two or three kilometers away, why hadn't he seen Gaihan Village yet? Hong Sanhai said that along the road, Gaihan Village had a big stone gate, and he would not miss it.

After about twenty minutes, Lu Li's body couldn't keep up, his body trembled, the road under his feet became narrower and narrower, and there was fog in front and back, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know where to go at all.

Keep walking?

"Qi Ji ......," Lu Li shouted softly.

Give yourself some strength, and it shouldn't be so unlucky.

Nearly twenty minutes passed.

Lu Li stopped under a chestnut tree on the side of the road.

He couldn't walk anymore, and he didn't have any strength in his body.

"Qi Ji. Help me. He didn't have the strength to shout and muttered unconsciously.

Every time he was unlucky, Qi Ji would always come to his rescue. Definitely today.

Qi Ji went out to run errands at noon, could it be that he hasn't come back yet......

"Bang la la-la-" The rain didn't seem to abate.

A few ripe chestnuts fell from the tree wrapped in thick sacs and smashed on Lu Li's body.

After a while, Lu Li shouted Qi Ji's name and sat on the side of the wet mountain road, his whole body buried in his knees.

You won't die here......

For a long time.

In the distance, a faint light shone through.

"Qi Ji!"

Lu Li stood up abruptly.

Suddenly, he was top-heavy and plunged into the rain.

Qi Ji drove the small Xiali driven by Uncle Wang in the town, and he saw a person under a tree who was not thin, and he planted his head in the soil and ate a dog and.

When I took a closer look, my heart tightened.

It's really Lu Li.

"Hey, don't die. Lu Li's body was cold. Qi Ji got out of the car, hugged the person, and shouted.

"Not dead. Where the hell is that Gaihan Village?" Lu Li's mind was full of the cart package.

"......" Qi Ji hugged a princess and directly got people into the car. As soon as he got out of the car, he turned into a soup chicken, and he didn't know how Lu Li had been in the rain for so long.

"Sanhai doesn't know if it's there or not. Trembling in the passenger seat, Qi Ji threw him a torn bath towel, so he wrapped it, and there was heating in the car.

It feels alive.

Qi Ji's face was very bad, he pursed his lips, didn't speak, and was just about to reverse and drive back.

Suddenly, Lu Li felt the ground tremble, and the sound of shattering came from far and near.

"Qi—"

"Get down. Qi Ji suddenly pounced and pressed Lu Li into his arms.

"Boom-boom-" The shaking quickly stopped, and something hit their car, making a loud noise on the hood.

Lu Li was startled, hugged him, tightly, and put his ear against his heart, making him feel at ease all at once.

The vibrations and noises lasted for more than ten seconds before they ended.

"Alright. ”

Qi Ji let go of people.

Lu Li missed a beat in his heart-

It was a landslide, and the chestnut tree where he had just stood had been smashed in two by tumbling dirt and stones. The road was blocked, and there were seven or eight brick-sized gravel on the hood of their car.

"Thank you—" Lu Li knew that he was in trouble again.

Muttered lowly.

"......" Qi Ji ignored him, got out of the car and cleaned up the gravel, looked at the condition of the car, returned to the car, stepped on the accelerator, and turned around. Drove away.

Qi Ji didn't take Lu Li back to Honghai Town, he drove back for more than ten minutes, the rain was a lot lighter, the fog on the mountain was not so thick, and Lu Li finally saw the plaque that read "Gaihan Village".

I went all the way and missed this fork in the road, so I couldn't find it.

"Ahh

Lu Li was in a fever, Qi Ji sneezed, and drove all the way along the winding mountain road to the village, and stopped for a while.

"Here's—"

"Get out of the car. "Qi Ji is fierce.

"Oh, Qi Ji, how do you remember to come to see my old woman. "Out of the house came an old lady with only one front tooth, with her back bent, and the small one looked particularly incongruous compared to the tall three-story building behind her.

"The front collapsed, I don't dare to drive home, is it okay to stay with Wang Po at night?" Qi Ji smiled.

Wang Po also smiled so much that her eyes were gone. "Oh, this is the young man you mentioned? Is he sick? Go upstairs and take a shower, and I'll get you something to eat." ”

"Gollum ......" Lu Li is really hungry.

Qi Ji was willing to let his mother-in-law do it, walked into his mother-in-law's house loudly, placed his mother-in-law in front of the TV, and stuffed half a handful of melon seeds into his mother-in-law's hands: "You are old, just when your grandchildren come to see you, why do you want to do it? You eat yours, I'll make a fire and cook." ”

"Oh, my grandson won't come to see me. Qi Ji, he is ......" Wang Po poked her head to look at Lu Li.

Qi Ji nodded.

"Come and call Wang Po. Qi Ji finally spoke to Lu Li.

"Wang Po. Lu Li entered someone's house, in the end, he was a little cramped, looked around, worried that Wang Po's family would also be there, and he would see himself covered in mud.

"Hey—I'm going to turn on the water heater for you, there's a bathtub on the second floor. Wang Po looked at Lu Li is smile, and was about to get up again, but was held down by Qi Ji's long hand.

"If my mother-in-law dares to leave here, she won't eat my cooking at night. Qi Ji said.

"Okay-" Wang Po was happy, took Qi Ji's hand, and motioned for him to lean his ear over.

"What?" Qi Ji asked.

"Young people are so good-looking. Mother-in-law loved it. Hey. Wang Po was unfathomable: "You are also a big boss, I think this is good." ”

How loud and loud did Wang Po's voice be, Lu Li looked at Qi Ji embarrassedly when he heard it. Qi Ji thought that nothing had happened, and after listening to it, he went up to the second floor.

Then there was Lu Li, who was wet, and Wang Po, who had a partner and didn't eat a melon seed, looking at each other in the hall on the first floor.

Lu Li found that Wang Po's eyes were a little red and wet, so he said a few words: "Mother-in-law, is there anyone else at home?"

"I'm alone. ”

Lu Li suddenly couldn't ask anymore. He saw the old furniture of Wang's mother-in-law's house, and the old sofa had a thick layer of ash on it. There were some chestnuts hanging under the sofa, a few legumes that looked like edamame, and a few dried fish, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "Has my mother-in-law been alone all the time?"

"The little ones come back once a year, and they are busy outside, and I, an old woman, am happy to be idle. Qi Ji often came to see me, and he talked about you last time. Wang Po looked at Lu Li with a smile, waved her hand, and Lu Li walked over.

"Come and show your mother-in-law. ”

Lu Li stretched out his wet and dirty paws.

"Oh-" Wang Po suddenly said, "The young man has to suffer a lot." ”

"Huh?" Lu Li realized after a while that the old woman was looking at herself.

"Qi Ji cares about you, and came back and said that you have always been unlucky lately, let me show you your appearance. You......" Wang Po's eyes narrowed, and her face was unfathomable: "He is a good boy." ”

Lu Li's hand was held in the crumpled hand by Granny Wang, and the old woman's hand was loose, but it was very warm.

"Qi Ji is a good man, you take care of him more. The mother-in-law squeezed Lu Li's hand.

"Then I-"

"You're a good boy. "Mother-in-law is just that.

Qi Ji shouted upstairs.

The mother-in-law let go.

Lu Li clearly saw that when he went upstairs, his mother-in-law secretly wiped a handful of tears.

The second floor of Wang's house is her children's room.

There is a water heater. Lu Li took hot water in the bathtub for a while, and the whole person came back to life and felt comfortable.

Qi Ji suddenly lifted the shower curtain and walked in.

Lu Li was taken aback.

The man still pursed his lips and looked at him fiercely.

Naked, unclothed.

"Well, I'm almost, you first. "Lu Li is gay, and two men will be embarrassed to see him honestly.

Qi Ji motioned for him to stay, cleaned the bathtub in a few minutes, picked up the water, and went out after a casual flush.

"Soak for 20 minutes, soak the cold bubbles out and come out again. Qi Ji pointed to the bathtub that was standing in the water. I turned over a towel and wiped myself.

Lu Li obediently took the water, and saw Qi Ji, who was in a big figure, wearing a small T-shirt, how did he feel that he was thin.

Is it because you worry about yourself every day, so you lose weight?

Lu Li was half-soaked in the bathtub, feeling that he was really hopeless from dying every day.

"I should have listened to you stay at home today. Lu Li reviewed.

“……”

"Originally, I thought that there was no time to repay the money, but now it is less than 4,000, so I am anxious. Lu Li continued to review.

“……”

"Well, I'll pay for the car repair. Lu Li looked at the shower.

"Hey-" Qi Ji sighed and came over to rub Lu Li's head: "You'll die there if I'm a little late." Do you know how dangerous it can be when it's raining here?"

"Hmm. ”

"Some people always feel that their lives are big, and bad things can't happen to them. The real danger came, and it disappeared all at once. Qi Ji looked at Lu Li and said faintly.

Lu Li knew that he wasn't talking about himself.

It's talking about someone else.

That night, Lu Li saw the earthen stove that needed to be lit by himself to burn firewood, and the mother-in-law's house suddenly became lively, and the mother-in-law was so happy. Early the next morning, I made them hot bread and ate it on the road.

Qi Ji and Lu Li found Hong Sanhai in the village, and found the small three-wheeler that was crushed into a lump of rotten iron by a big tree along the road.

Qi Ji drove the car and took him to memorize the roads of several small villages around him.

At the beginning of the month, the courier brother Lu Li finally officially took up his post.

This month, you need to repay 4,567 yuan

I just got a food stall salary of 800, and the first day of express delivery income -

Three dollars and seven cents.

Lu Li looked at his flowing water and sighed silently.

It's been a month since I came to Red Sea Town.
