Chapter 19: The Stinky Tofu-Smelling Bus
When the old people got on the bus, Sheng Dusk and Zhilu, who were following behind, just wanted to step on the bus, but they were squeezed to both sides by the old woman who suddenly appeared.
"Get out of the way!, is it polite!" The gray-clothed old woman who had squeezed away Zhilu and Sheng Du glared back in displeasure, but she saw only Sheng Du alone.
Zhilu was very surprised, it turned out that even if she was invisible, in fact, it was easy to find some clues when touched by a normal person.
The old woman looked left and right, but still didn't see Zhilu, who was hit by her, her shoulders trembled, and she slipped on the bus after scolding Sheng Dusk.
Twilight was a little unhappy, but she also raced against time to get on the bus, and there were no seats in it.
Healthy young people are standing with their levers on their heads, scrolling their phones, and they don't care about the old women who are crawling through the crowd.
Finally finding a small corner, the old woman leaned down and sat down, let go of the sack she was holding tightly, and took out the small plastic bag of sweet potatoes she was carrying in her stomach.
Sheng Du led Zhilu who was standing in front of the car door to her side, and in the bus full of people who were difficult to walk in this step, Zhilu was afraid that her invisible self would be seen.
Zhilu carefully bypassed the old woman who happened to be sitting in the corner next to her, trying not to make physical contact with the young people, and ran to the twilight.
The thrill of this is like dodging the infrared rays that can fall apart at the touch of a button without a tactical infrared eyepiece.
Twilight pulls Zhilu behind her, although she is not tall enough to completely cover Zhilu, as long as she can prevent someone from accidentally bumping into Zhilu.
Crowded and cramped, the bus is a little larger than the rental house in the twilight, but it's just a small boxy iron box.
In the middle of summer, the heat of the iron box will increase the temperature inside, and even if the temperature is cooled by a simple yellowed air conditioner, it still cannot contain the smell of the iron box.
The smell of sweat-soaked and dry clothes, the strong armpit smell under the arm that lifted the lever, and the body odor that I haven't taken a shower for half a month because the water in the rental house has been stopped.
These flavors are gathered in a small, stuffy tin box, like a pot of stinky tofu that is poorly fermented, smelly, and unpleasant.
Zhilu wanted to try to hold her breath, but she couldn't open her eyes because of the smell of her feet and the smell of the old man.
Looking for taste, it was the old woman, who kicked open her worn shoes, picked at her own feet with one hand, and clutched the bulging sack with the other.
The old woman seemed to be very sensitive to her gaze, and suddenly she felt that someone was looking at her, and turned directly to look at Zhilu who was standing behind Sheng Dusk.
was suddenly stared at by the old woman, Zhilu's whole body stiffened, and she leaned in vain against the iron wall where there was no way back.
Sheng Du also noticed the old woman who turned her head, she calmly looked at the lever in her hand, and her tall and not short body quietly blocked Zhilu behind.
After scanning it several times, she didn't find who was looking at her, so the old woman didn't look at it, lowered her head and took out a clean-looking smartphone from under the clothes on her abdomen.
Sheng Du watched the old woman swipe the phone screen with one finger, reminding her of her grandmother in her hometown and Zhilu behind her.
Look at the old woman's big sacks, maybe it's her relatives who came to see her school here.
Thinking of his grandmother, Sheng Du couldn't help but speak to the old woman, "Old lady, are you here to see your relatives?"
The old woman heard Twilight's voice and looked Twilight up and down vigilantly, "Yes, I'm coming to see my grandson, who are you?"
"Are you going to Peiying Academy? I happen to be a student at Peiying Academy, so I can take you to Peiying Academy to find your grandson. Sheng Du said softly.
"You're also from Peiying Academy?" the old woman's tense body relaxed a little, "Do you know my grandson Mei Liangxin?"
"Mei Liangxin, I know, he is in the same class as me. Sheng Du was a little surprised that the old woman was looking for her classmate.
"Do you know how he's doing? He hasn't heard from me for a long time, and I can only come here from the countryside to find him, for fear that something will happen to him!"
The old woman jumped up excitedly, and her short figure could even jump to Zhilu.
"Don't worry, Merliang believes that everything is fine with him. Twilight comforted the old woman.
"That's too, my grandson is amazing, he is in super class A, that is the class with a lot of superior people, but majestic!"
The old woman puffed up her chest with joy and pride.
Sheng Du guessed that Mei Liangxin should lie because she didn't want to worry the old woman, and she didn't expose it, but only smiled and listened to the old woman tell the story of Mei Liangxin's scenery.
From pinching and blasting steel with bare hands, getting the school flower confession, kneeling down of the high-class boss, and then talking about one person stopping the runaway bus, saving everyone in the coffee shop and bus stop, Mei Liangxin in the old woman's mouth is invincible in the world.
It was only when she heard the last story that Zhilu noticed that Sheng Dui's smile as she listened patiently became bitter.
"Cut, old woman, just listen to your grandson brag to you!"
Suddenly, a boy who was swiping his phone on the side finally couldn't hold back and dismissed the old woman.
The old woman's lion roar is almost from the same school as Landlord Luo and Sheng Dui's mother, and it is difficult for the people on the side to hear it.
Therefore, almost a whole carload of people heard how the old woman blew her grandson Mei Liangxin, and the most interesting thing is that no one on Twenty Street did not know who Mei Liangxin was.
"What a brag! That's how good my grandson is!"
The old woman was annoyed, and squeezed over and raised her finger to poke the boy's nose.
"Pull it down, I'm not hitting you, who doesn't know this Mei Liangxin on No. 20 Street? That kid is not super Class A at all,"
"There's no school girl chasing him, and there's no big guy who worships him, even," the boy pointed to Sheng Dusk, "It's that Sheng Du who saves people, not your grandson!"
"What?" the old woman froze in place, her round eyes in disbelief, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Dusk, "You are the one who saved people?"
“...... Well. Sheng Du tightened the lever in his hand and hummed softly.
Syllable!
Suddenly, the old woman slapped Sheng Dusk.
This crisp and loud slap quieted down the people who were gradually boiling.
Zhilu was surprised to hold Sheng Dui, who was slapped on the left side of her face, "You, are you okay?"
"You're the one who saved people, so you already knew that my grandson was telling a lie, but you're still there smiling and listening to me!
The old woman trembled with anger and withdrew her palm with her fingernails stuffed with black silt.
