After dinner that day, Zhou Wentao accompanied Zhao Qingru for a walk in the backyard. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because the two sets of courtyard houses have now been opened, and the backyard has been redesigned and arranged. It looks like it's about five or six hundred meters around in a circle. Walking seven or eight laps after dinner every day, even if he didn't go back to the courtyard at the school, it was already a must-do for Zhao Qingru every day.

"Wen Tao, when are you going back to the Demon Capital?" In the past few days, Zhao Qingru has been a little sullen.

At first, Zhou Wentao only thought it was due to physical reasons, but after seeing that it was not like that, he inquired side by side, and finally only got an answer of "it will be fine in two days". After a few days, Rao is Zhao Qingwei is also very well-behaved, and he definitely did not take the initiative to hit the muzzle.

Of course, the main reason why Zhao Qingwei is like this is because he just poked a hornet's nest some time ago. Now that we are in the period of punishment, if you don't behave well, won't the old accounts and new accounts be settled together?

"What, reluctant to let me go?" Zhou Wentao said with a smile, "I'm almost busy here in Yanjing." As for the other side of the magic capital, you can report for duty next week at the latest. After all, I can accompany you this week. ”

Zhao Qingru looked up at Zhou Wentao, with slightly red eyes and obvious dark circles, in fact, you don't need to guess to think that if you don't sacrifice the time for sleep, rest and meals, and compress most of the month's workload into a few days, how can you have several days of free time.

"Wen Tao, I want to go somewhere, can you accompany me?"

"Hmm. Zhou Wentao thought about it and responded without thinking about it, in exchange for Zhao Qingru chuckling for a while.

"Idiot, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?"

"You won't. Zhou Wentao looked at Zhao Qingru with tolerance and pampering in his eyes, as well as gentleness that even he didn't realize.

"Also, you're so skinny. If you sell it by the pound, you won't be able to sell it for much. Rao is Zhao Qingru only felt that his little face was slightly hot at this moment. However, the loser does not lose.

"When are you leaving?"

"Ten o'clock train in the evening. ”

"Then you have to get ready to go to the station. Zhou Wentao glanced down at the watch on his wrist and found that it was almost seven o'clock. Although I should have arrived at the train station in time, I haven't packed my luggage yet. is as smart as Zhou Wentao, how could he not think of why he is like this.

It is precisely because he guessed the reason that Zhou Wentao did not want to blame. It's just that......

"I'll be with you from now on. ”

"Good. Zhao Qingru's big black and white eyes were a little moist, making her eyes look extraordinarily bright.

"This time the old woman will not go. Grandma Qian muttered while juggling out a small boxy package, "These, I'll trouble you." ”

"Don't worry, Grandma Qian. Zhao Qingru was not in a hurry to open the small package prepared by Grandma Qian, but carefully stuffed things into the suitcase.

"Ru'er, have you taken a leave of absence from school?" Zhao's mother was rarely at home.

"I took a leave of absence yesterday. Zhao Qingru turned his head sideways to look at his little brother, a little uneasy, "Mom, Xiaowei is also about to take the high school entrance examination." Wen Tao and I helped him sort out some review materials, and I had to work hard for you to supervise during this time. lest Xiaowei want to play lazy and fool Grandma Qian. ”

"Sister ......"

"Okay, Mom knows it. Mother Zhao glanced at her youngest son who was still very unconvinced on the side. Among the three children, the youngest one is the most solid, and there is no moment of peace of mind.

"You hurry up and take the two of you to the train station with Wen Tao. Although there is more than enough time, the earlier you arrive at the station, the sooner you can rest assured. ”

"Immediately, Grandma Qian, Mom and Xiaowei, don't send it. After Zhao Qingru waved goodbye to Grandma Qian, she followed Zhou Wentao, who was carrying luggage, into the jeep and went straight to the train station.

On this day, Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao took the train from Yanjing to Shancheng overnight and returned to Shancheng. Just because, in a few days it will be Lu Yingchun's twentieth birthday. In fact, in the past two years, Zhao Qingru has not returned to the mountain city to see his friend Lu Yingchun, except for the initial period.

Speaking of which, this time has been passing quite quickly. In the blink of an eye, years have passed. If it weren't for occasionally flipping through the photos secretly taken before, Zhao Qingru would almost not be able to remember the appearance of his friend Lu Yingchun.

Anyway, Zhao Qingru still remembered Lu Yingchun's birthday, so this time, even if he knew that he frequently asked for leave, the school already had an opinion, and he still insisted on asking for leave. To say that Zhao Qingru is indeed unusual enough, the whole circular criticism is typical, especially in the context of all the teachers and students in the whole school seizing all the time to enrich/impart more knowledge.

Zhao Qingru, who knew it, obviously couldn't take care of these things, so after making up his mind, he took his luggage and took the train straight to the mountain city overnight. Originally, I wanted to go alone, but now that I can abduct Zhou Wentao to accompany me, the sadness in my heart has diluted a lot. The only regret may be that you can't fly, or you won't have to waste most of your time on the road.

After squeezing into the train smoothly and finding the sleeper berth, Zhou Wentao thoughtfully stuffed his luggage onto the luggage rack, and then pulled out an empty salt water bottle from the backpack that accompanied him.

"Qingru, you go up first. I'm going to fill the salt water bottle with hot water. Although it was the end of March, the temperature was a bit low at night. ”

"Good. Zhao Qingru took off the leather shoes on her feet, and then climbed onto the top bunk with her hands and feet. This time, the time was a little rushed, so I only bought an upper berth and a middle berth, and did not buy a soft sleeper car.

Sitting on the lower bunk of the sleeper opposite was a woman who looked to be at least fifty years old, watching Zhou Wentao go straight to the front bathroom, and asked with a smile: "Where is the little girl, where are you going, the young man with glasses just now is your object, and he is considerate enough to look at people." ”

"He's my object, and we're going to go to the mountain city. ”

"Shancheng?" the woman looked Zhao Qingru up and down very carefully, "Go back to your hometown?"

"No, to visit an old friend. ”

"I say, the little girl came from the big city at first glance. ”

Zhao Qingru didn't respond again, especially after seeing the woman staring at the pair of black leather shoes she had just taken off, somehow she had a flash of inspiration and vaguely thought of something. When Zhou Wentao came back from filling the salt water bottle, he motioned for Zhou Wentao to hand her leather shoes to her under the strange gaze of the woman. Then in front of the woman, he put the shoes into the accompanying backpack, in fact, he naturally threw them into Zhao Qingru's secret warehouse.

I really can't blame Zhao Qingru for doing this. Nowadays, leather shoes are not cheap, and some have to be purchased with tickets. If it is a carelessness, let people go away, not to mention the heavy losses when they turn back, the key is to wait for the bus to reach the terminal, how to walk is still a problem.

Before the train did not speed up, especially before there was no bullet train and high-speed rail, Zhao Qingru really didn't have much thought of going far.

As for choosing to take a plane or something, it is even more unrealistic, there are not many airports, there are not many flights, and the price is still expensive. If it's a last resort, forget it.

In this way, after holding on to the train for two days and three nights, it can be regarded as the afternoon of the third day, and arrived safely at the mountain city railway station. Out of the station, Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao did not delay any longer, called a small noodle book, and went directly to see Lu Yingchun.

Xu was affected by Zhao Qingru's mood, and before Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao went up the mountain, there were raindrops floating on the originally gloomy sky. The mountain city is already wet, and this rain, the humidity is even greater.

Don't look at Zhao Qingru who hasn't come to visit her friends for several years, the place where Lu Yingchun sleeps is still very well taken care of. At least not like the other cemeteries around it, which are overgrown with weeds. The cleaning fee of a few dollars a month is not unjustly spent.

Although it looked quite clean, Zhao Qingru still took out a clean towel from her backpack and carefully wiped Lu Yingchun's photo again.

"Yingchun, I'm just coming to see you now. Are you angry?" Looking at the smiling round face in the photo, Zhao Qingru's nose was a little sour.

"Qingru, you talk here first, I'll go around the neighborhood. After Zhou Wentao helped Zhao Qingru place the incense and candle offerings, he took the initiative to give his beloved the opportunity to talk quietly alone.

"It's fine. Don't walk around, I'm afraid you'll get lost. Zhao Qingru whispered.

"No, just walk around the neighborhood. Zhou Wentao looked back at Lu Yingchun's photo and said, "That, sister of the Lu family, you slowly listen to you talk to you." ”

Zhao Qingru watched Zhou Wentao gradually walk away, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he turned out a small bench like a trick, and then sat down directly.

"Yingchun, that man is my boyfriend, doesn't he look more reliable than that Senior Brother Xie? In the blink of an eye, in a few months, I will be in my third year of college. If you're still here, you'll be able to get into college. When the time comes......"

Zhao Qingru said a word without a word, and told Lu Yingchun everything that had happened in the past few years, whether he was happy or unhappy. Zhao Qingru, who was afraid that Lu Yingchun would not remember, also took advantage of the gap between burning paper money ingots for Lu Yingchun, and burned the letters accumulated in the past few years to Lu Yingchun.

This time passed before I knew it. By the time Zhao Qingru finished whispering, three quarters of an hour had passed, and the sky was gradually darkening.

After packing up his things and completely extinguishing the flames, Zhao Qingru looked around suspiciously, a little surprised how a certain nerd had never returned.

Could it be that you really got lost? Or else you were hooked up with some lonely soul (female) ghost?

Just as Zhao Qingru was thinking about whether to find a certain nerd, she saw from a distance that the nerd seemed to be holding a package in his arms, walking in her direction with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Idiot, where have you been?" Zhao Qingru seemed to be a little embarrassed when she saw Zhou Wentao, and the clothes on her body didn't know where they were scratched, and they were torn a few small holes, and there were mud spots. Even the face is dirty.

"Don't ask, let's take a look at this kid, is there anything wrong?"

"Child?" Zhao Qingru noticed that Zhou Wentao seemed to be holding a futon in his arms. After opening the small red quilt, I saw a little baby who was born a few days ago, with a wrinkled little face flushed, and even a afterbirth.

"Where did you pick it up?"

"It's right ahead. Zhou Wentao gasped slightly, "I looked around the neighborhood, but I didn't see anyone." ”

"I seem to have a fever. Zhao Qingru took the baby from Zhou Wentao's hand, reached out and gently touched the child's forehead, and found that it was slightly hot.

"Did you find anything other than the futon?" Zhao Qingru motioned for Zhou Wentao to take the luggage. Anyway, you have to get to the hospital quickly. Such a young child, I don't know what his biological father and mother think, and they are ruthless, so they just throw the child near the cemetery.

Is this a clear don't want this child to live?

Zhao Qingru didn't check the child thoroughly at this time, and only thought about going to the hospital quickly. Naturally, it is not clear that the baby in her arms, who was only a few days old, was not because she did it because the state implemented family planning to control the population, and because she was a baby girl, she was abandoned by her ruthless parents.

However, it didn't take long for Zhao Qingru and Zhou Wentao to know that the little guy was still a stinky boy with a handle.

I arrived at the hospital in a hurry, hung up the emergency department, and paid an extra two dollars to cut into the queue, so I saw the attending doctor in the first place. As a result, the attending doctor looked around, and as soon as he came up, he was stunned.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking about how you little couple are doing. This child has a fever like this, so he was sent to the hospital, and he is not afraid of getting pneumonia?!"

"......" The corners of Zhao Qingru's mouth twitched obviously, whether this misunderstanding was explained or explained.

"No, doctor, this child is not ours. Before Zhao Qingru could speak, Zhou Wentao on the side had already blushed slightly and explained.

"Don't worry, the child is fine. You won't get pneumonia. The attending doctor obviously didn't believe Zhou Wentao and Zhao Qingru, and his hands and feet were very neat and wrote on the medical record like ghost drawings, "Okay, hurry up and hang a salt water." Stay for two days, and when the fever subsides, you should be fine. But you have to be careful these two days. ”

"No, big ......" Zhou Wentao wanted to explain again, but because Zhao Qingru on the side pulled him, he had to close his mouth a little depressed.

This is good, speaking of which, it is just kissing the mouth and holding the little hand, but the rest has not done anything, and it has been a child for no reason. What's this, what's this?

"Alright, nerd. Isn't it just a small misunderstanding? What a big deal. ”

"It's different. Zhou Wentao sighed lightly, and helped Zhao Qingru to pull a strand of disobedient long hair behind his ear, "If this matter is really misunderstood, it will ...... your reputation."

"Actually, I don't care at all. Life is lived by yourself, as long as you don't care, I won't care about these irrelevant people talking about it there. Zhao Qingru glanced down at the little baby in her arms, her eyes were extraordinarily gentle, "Wen Tao, you said that this child, could it be a gift specially prepared for me in the Spring Festival?"

Zhou Wentao's brows were obviously furrowed, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

"Ru'er, you won't want to ......" (To be continued.) )
