Chapter 2 Notes
Before dawn the next morning, Wu Xi got up, and she had to catch the morning train to L City. When www.biquge.info she was packing her luggage, she hesitated again and again, but decided to put the horns of the Gu Eagle into her backpack, she thought in her heart that so many reporters from all over the country went to interview, and she was accompanied by government officials, nothing would happen. But I felt that Lu Wu insisted on letting her accept this horn, and naturally there was a reason for it.
This lazy cat now doesn't know where to go, as Xu Xing said, it is scattered, unruly, and arbitrary. But after all, this is a divine beast, and everything it does should have its own reasons. She placed the horn at the bottom of her backpack to save herself from having to explain if someone else found her things, and then tiptoed out the door.
"Such an early car?" An unhurried voice came from the shadows of the sofa, and then, Xu Xing slowly walked out of the darkness and came to her side.
"Oh, yes. There's a reception tonight, so be there before the evening. ”
"You take this, just in case." Xu Xing put a few yellow paper talismans in Wu Xi's palm.
"You...... Waiting for me here early in the morning? ”
"The horns are with you, right?" Xu Xing didn't seem to hear her question.
"Hmm."
"That's good, if there is any more trouble, I don't have to go over for this again."
After speaking, he didn't say goodbye to Wu Xi, he turned around and went back to his room and locked the door. Wu Xi spread out her palms, and the yellow paper talismans seemed to still retain his body temperature, so she held them tightly and rushed to the station with her luggage.
As the train heads west, the scenery becomes different from that of the eastern plains. The mountains began to flash in front of Wu Xi's eyes, and red apples and orange persimmons decorated the autumn mountains with extraordinary vitality. Wu Xi looked up, it was a blue and translucent sky, in this blue, there were white clouds floating leisurely, this blue, swept away her originally depressed mood.
"What nonsense are they talking about, where are there any sandstorms, such clean air, how can it be compared to D City." She thought happily in her heart, and a burst of sleepiness hit her, so Wu Xi leaned her head on the glass that was warmed by the sun, and soon fell asleep.
"Xiaohui, get up, I'll be there soon." In a daze, Wu Xi was woken up by a voice, she opened her eyes and found that the seat opposite had changed when she didn't know when. The uncle who was drinking beer and gnawing on the duck's neck was gone, and what appeared in her eyes was a little girl with pigtails and her mother, the little girl was about five or six years old, at this time, she was like Wu Xi, with her big sleepy eyes, staring blankly ahead.
"Little sister, you're also here to participate in that media line." The little girl's mother, an eldest sister who seemed to be kind, suddenly asked Wu Xi.
"Ah, yes, how do you know? Are you also coming to this event? Wu Xi hurriedly responded.
"Auntie, you're carrying a big camera, just like my mother." The little girl seemed to have regained her consciousness and was actively involved in their conversation.
"You talk a lot, I'm a reporter from the provincial capital, this time his father happened to be on a business trip, no way, I had to bring this little fart worm with me, oh yes, my surname is Yan, you can call me Sister Yan."
"I'm not a follower, I have a name, Auntie, remember, my name is Xiaohui."
She pretended to be a little adult and made Wu Xi laugh: "I remember, Xiaohui, my name is Wu Xi, Aunt Wu Xi, we will be good friends in the future." Hearing this, Xiao Hui naturally leaned over, grabbed Wu Xi's hand, and prepared to get out of the car with her.
Sister Yan touched her daughter's head helplessly and dotingly, and smiled apologetically at Wu Xi: "It seems that Xiaohui likes you very much." ”
"Sister Yan, Xiaohui is quite similar to me when I was a child, but she is much happier than me and has a mother who loves her so much." After Wu Xi finished speaking, he took Xiaohui's soft and glutinous little hand and walked onto the platform with Sister Yan.
"Don't you ......" Sister Yan just wanted to ask her, but suddenly a gust of wind with sand and dust blew straight towards them, blowing so that the three of them couldn't open their eyes, Wu Xi held Xiao Hui in his arms, covered Xiao Hui's head with the windbreaker on his body, and protected her, until the gust of wind completely passed, he let go of her.
"Mom, I just thought it was the Yellow Wind Monster from Journey to the West."
"What are children talking about, it's called a sandstorm, you know."
Wu Xi opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her: it seemed that Ding Ding and the others were not alarmist, the city looked gray and gloomy, the opposite of the bright scenery she saw on the train. The industrial town is surrounded by rich coal mines, and the constant mining has caused dust to drift through the air all year round, so it seems that the sun will never be able to see the light of the sun here.
Wu Xi and his entourage took a taxi to the place where the banquet was held, and there were low five- or six-story buildings everywhere, either gray or yellow. The trees on both sides of the road are very tall, and they look like they are some years old, and it is estimated that they were planted by the government to prevent the wind, but this is really a drop in the bucket, and the sandstorms still linger here all year round, and they are reluctant to leave.
Looking at the street scene in front of her, Wu Xi fell into deep thought, more than ten years ago, when she was seven or eight years old, that is, a little older than Xiao Hui, the city where she lived was also like this. At that time, she lived in the family courtyard of her father's unit, which was also a small gray six-story building, with wooden windows and yellow paint. She sat in front of this window every evening and practiced the piano, day after day, and the days were dull but uneventful. By the way, that piano, Wu Xi closed her eyes, she always felt that there was something very important related to her piano, but no matter what she thought, she couldn't find a little memory about this incident in her mind, what was it?
"Aunt Wu Xi, are you thinking about your boyfriend? Thinking so seriously. Xiaohui suddenly asked, pulling her back from her chaotic thoughts.
"This kid, can you stop embarrassing your mother like this." Sister Yan's face was full of loveless expressions.
Wu Xi picked her up and kissed her on her bulging little face: "Auntie doesn't have a boyfriend yet, why don't you introduce one to me Xiaohui?" ”
