Chapter 44: Heading South
When Guan Yuan opened his eyes, he was smelling the fragrant food.
"Wake up! If you don't wake up again, you won't be able to sleep at night. Zhao Shenggu was about to tell Guan Yuan to get up, when he saw that he had already sat up.
Guan Yuan rubbed his groggy head, "Brother, how long have I been asleep?" โ
"After all, the sun has set." Zhao Shenggu took a towel and wiped it on Guan Yuan's face, and Guan Yuan felt sober. Yesterday he ate at the Guan family's old mansion, Guan Yuan was used to eating the delicious food that Zhao Shenggu made for him, and he couldn't eat the rough food at all.
Drinking Zhao Shenggu's soft millet porridge and eating a few side dishes of cold salad, Guan Yuan felt that his throat felt better.
Because they slept too much during the day, the two of them couldn't sleep at night, so they rested in the yard.
Guan Yuan thought of the few green spots on Guan Manyue's neck, and couldn't help but say to Zhao Shenggu: "Brother, I see that Guan Manyue seems to have a pinch mark on her neck, do you say she was ...... by the Guan family?" โ
Zhao Shenggu gave Guan Yuan's hand a blow, "Do you see clearly?" โ
Guan Yuan nodded: "I can see it clearly, and I see that Guan He has always been scared, do you think he strangled him?" โ
Zhao Shenggu's face became ugly, and he also thought of Guan He's abnormality, if it was true, such a person who could even do it to his own daughter could still be a human being.
"Whether it is or not, you will stay away from the Guan family in the future. We don't care about their," Zhao Shenggu solemnly instructed Guan Yuan.
"Don't worry, brother, I've always been with you, what can I do."
Zhao Shenggu obviously thought of this as well, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow we'll go south." Zhao Shenggu patted Guan Yuan's back and said.
"Oh, aren't we going to wake up early tomorrow?" Guan Yuan asked with a bitter face.
Zhao Shenggu knew what he was thinking, and nodded his nose funny: "It's okay, let's not be in a hurry, I've inquired about it, this time let's go to Haishi, there is no direct train by train, there are two trips that need to be transferred, one lies in the morning, one in the afternoon, let's buy the afternoon trip, and I asked Grandpa Li to buy us two sleepers, you can sleep as long as you want." โ
Guan Yuan's face was embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't have to sleep for long." โ
I've been busy for a while, I haven't entered the space for a long time, and I definitely won't be able to enter it on the train tomorrow, so the two of them said for a while and went into the space to see the lotus.
The white lotus flower was bigger again, and the leaves were also a lot rounder, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu didn't know why, they both felt that these lotus flowers were particularly amiable, and they got close to it as usual.
Seeing that the time was almost past midnight, he said goodbye to the reluctant White Lotus and came out of the space.
When Guan Yuan opened his eyes the next day, Zhao Shenggu had already packed up all the qiฤ, and before leaving, Zhao Shenggu went to the workshop to tell Guan Ermao and Li Ying.
After tidying up the house, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu set foot on the road to the south, and when they arrived at the train station, Xiao Zhang was already waiting there.
"Then, this is the ticket that Elder Li bought for you, it's a four-person room. Be alert when you sleep at night. When Xiao Zhang handed the ticket to Zhao Shenggu and them, he asked uneasily.
Zhao Shenggu took out the newly made braised chicken feet from the bag, "This is my newly made dish, this package is for Xiaoxin, and the other package is for Brother Zhang to eat, if you like it, you can stay." โ
Xiao Zhang received something from Zhao Shenggu, and his mouth smiled crookedly, "I like it, I like it..."
The tickets had been bought in advance, and as soon as the car came, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan got on the bus. I found my own bed, and when I went in, the two beds opposite were already occupied.
Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan's beds were full of miscellaneous things, and Zhao Shenggu asked softly: "Whose thing is this, can you please take it away?" โ
The girl who got out of bed on the other side and was making the bed turned her head, her face full of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm making the bed, and I saw that there was no one over there, so I left the things there for you, and I will take them as soon as I finish making them?" โ
People spoke in a good voice, and Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were not thorns, so they naturally agreed.
However, they underestimated the girl's turtle hair, and said that the sheets were not clean, and then they disliked the ash on the bed, and in short, they wiped it back and forth several times before making the bed.
When she took the things, the girl was very embarrassed, apologized to Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan again and again, and took out the peanuts she bought for them to eat, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan naturally refused tactfully.
"I don't let people sleep...."When the girl and Zhao Shenggu were polite, the person sleeping on the upper bunk covered with a quilt made an urn-like male voice, and he was also indebted to him on this hot day.
The girl's face froze, and then she really stopped talking, probably thinking that she was a girl better than being careful.
Zhao Shenggu put all his things on the bed, and then cleaned up the bed, preparing for the two to sleep together.
The girl seemed to want to talk to Zhao Shenggu and them, but she was probably afraid that the man on his upper bunk would get angry, so her lips moved a few times and she still didn't make a sound.
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were happy, Zhao Shenggu took out a book of "Economic Principles" to read, and Guan Yuan gnawed on chicken claws like hamsters. This thing was tested by Zhao Shenggu at the request of Guan Yuan, and it tasted good, and it was proper to be a small snack.
The time on the train was boring, and when night fell, Guan Yuan finally woke up to the one who was on the bunk on the opposite floor, and he felt uncomfortable at first glance.
The man glanced at Guan Yuan and them, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were transformed by the spiritual spring water, and their five senses were different from ordinary people, and when the man's eyes swept over, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu both felt a fierce aura.
Zhao Shenggu quietly hugged Guan Yuan into his arms, his eyes still staring at the book.
The man took one look at them, then opened the door and went out.
The girl on the other side was visibly relieved.
"That guy was really scary, what did you say he was doing..."
Zhao Shenggu smiled: "We don't know this, just don't mess with him." โ
"Yes, yes, don't mess with him," the girl nodded again and again, and took out the dry food she had brought from her bag to eat.
After a while, the man returned, still holding a lunch box in his hand, and it looked like he had gone to buy food. He finished his meal with a snort, threw the lunch box at random, and went back to sleep.
The girl in the lower bunk was obviously a clean-loving person, and looked at the lunch box that was thrown on the ground and felt uncomfortable, so she picked it up and threw it in the trash.
When it was completely dark, Zhao Shenggu couldn't read, so he and Guan Yuan lay on the bed together, and the two talked quietly.
The train was stuffy, Guan Yuan felt uncomfortable, and Zhao Shenggu kept fanning him.
When the whole carriage was quiet, Guan Yuan fell asleep in a daze.
Half-asleep and half-awake, they felt movement, and almost at the same time, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu opened their eyes. The man on the top bunk on the opposite bed was standing on the bottom bunk and covering the girl's mouth, and the girl let out a subtle whining sound as she struggled.
Zhao Shenggu's eyes narrowed, signaled Guan Yuan not to move, he got up lightly, the whole person was like a cheetah blending into the night, picked up the kettle in the carriage, slipped to the man's back quietly, looked at the position and smashed it hard, the man screamed, and then fainted.
Zhao Shenggu was afraid that he would wake up again, so he made up for it with a knife.
The girl was frightened, and it took a while before she cried out, her voice was too loud, attracting the flight attendant, and the flight attendant looked at the man who fell to the ground, and looked at Zhao Shenggu's face and turned cold.
Zhao Shenggu explained: "It was this man who wanted to be bad to this girl, and I saved him." Girl, you have a word. โ
The girl stopped crying and confirmed Zhao Shenggu's words.
After figuring out the truth of the matter, the flight attendant quickly contacted the police, and this uproar also alarmed the people in several nearby carriages. A middle-aged man with upright eyebrows was shocked when he saw the man who had been knocked unconscious, without him, this man was the person they were tracking. The man โกโก the woman, robbed the money, and finally killed someone.
I didn't expect him to go home to visit his relatives this time, and he would be able to pick up a credit for nothing.
After it was confirmed that Zhao Shenggu had indeed saved people, the conductor came to express his gratitude to Zhao Shenggu: "Yes, the young man has a future." โ
After this incident, the girl trusted Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan, and only after the conversation did she know that she was from Haishi, and they had the same destination as Zhao Shenggu.
She herself took advantage of the east wind of reform to do some small business in the sea market, and when she heard that Zhao Shenggu and they were also going to the sea market, she warmly invited them to her house, and promised that if there was help in the sea market, she would definitely help.
The two groups of people had a good relationship, chatted quite happily, and after three days and three nights, they finally arrived in Haishi.
As soon as he got off the train, Zhao Shenggu clearly felt that the city was different, the whole city was exuding amazing vitality, and the pedestrians who came and went seemed to have a set goal to strive for.
When you leave the train station, you can see tall buildings rising from the ground. The pedestrians on the street are also dressed in much more styles than in the north, and even the colors are a little brighter.
The last time Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu went to Harbin City, they saw a few girls on the street with their hair permed, and almost half of the girls here were wearing chicken nests.
The girl I met on the train was named Xu Qiaoqing, and she went to the north to visit her grandfather this time.
Zhao Shenggu was very puzzled, a girl who was in her prime, her family was relieved that she had gone so far alone? However, they didn't know each other very well, so I didn't ask the question.
Out of the train station, Xu Qiaoqing tried her best to invite Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu to her house.
Originally, when Xu Qiaoqing pestered Zhao Shenggu along the way, Guan Yuan was in a very bad mood, how could he still go to her house now, Zhao Shenggu naturally didn't want to go, saying that there were still things to do, and it was inconvenient to live in someone else's house, so it was better to live in a hotel.
Although Xu Qiaoqing was disappointed, she also knew that there was no way to change it, she followed Zhao Shenggu and them all the way, saw that they were arranged in the hotel, and wrote down the location before going back.
After Xu Qiaoqing left, Guan Yuan sat on the bed and looked at Zhao Shenggu fixedly, Zhao Shenggu in this life has handsome eyebrows and a long figure, although because he is only 15 years old, his face inevitably looks a little immature, but his calm temperament can attract girls very much, seeing Xu Qiaoqing in the car and his eyes don't blink, Guan Yuan feels that a fire is rising in his heart.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Zhao Shenggu looked at Guan Yuan, who was motionless, and asked suspiciously.
Guan Yuan pursed his lips, although he knew that Zhao Shenggu didn't have any opinion on that girl, he just couldn't help but feel bad. Now seeing Zhao Shenggu asking, he said coyly: "Brother, let's not see that Xu Qiao." โ
Zhao Shenggu said funny: "The name of the person is Xu Qiaoqing. โ
"Hmph, I even remember the name so well, do you have any thoughts about her!" Guan Yuan hugged his chest with two short arms, trying hard to make a menacing appearance, but in Zhao Shenggu's eyes, he looked so cute.
"What do you think, you will think blindly, hurry up, I boiled hot water, let's take a good bath, and we have to do business tomorrow!"
He naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to confront Zhao Shenggu calmly, so he immediately let go of the little sign in his heart and happily took a bath with Zhao Shenggu.
Before the two got up the next day, there was a knock on the door, Guan Yuan covered his head with the quilt and shrank in, Zhao Shenggu looked funny, touched his face, and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Qiaoqing stood outside with a smile on her face, carrying a large bag of buns and soy milk in her hand.
"I guess you haven't had breakfast yet, so I went to buy it and try it to see if I like it." Xu Qiaoqing entered the house without waiting for Zhao Shenggu to refuse.
As soon as Guan Yuan heard Xu Qiaoqing's voice, he sat up from the bed with a brush, and saw the annoying person early in the morning, not to mention how bad Guan Yuan's mood was.
Zhao Shenggu wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect Xu Qiaoqing to move so fast, and he wanted to say something to Xu Qiaoqing, but when he saw that Guan Yuan woke up, he left everything behind.
He skillfully carried Guan Yuan to the bathroom to wash.
Leaving Xu Qiaoqing to stand outside alone, to be honest, Xu Qiaoqing was very surprised, on the train he found out that Zhao Shenggu was especially good to his younger brother, as long as his younger brother made any moves, Zhao Shenggu would quickly find out, and immediately leave the people or things around him and look at his younger brother intently.
I didn't expect him to spoil his brother to such an extent, and even hugged him to wash when he was so old!
When Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan came out after cleaning up, Xu Qiaoqing had already laid out the buns and soy milk. "Hurry up and eat, otherwise it will be cold later, his buns are a time-honored shop in Shanghai, and it is difficult to buy!"
"Sister Qing, thank you, you don't have to be so troublesome." Zhao Shenggu said.
Hearing Zhao Shenggu call her Sister Qing, Xu Qiaoqing's body stiffened obviously, and then pretended to be casual and said, "How do you call me Sister Qing, I'm only 17 years old this year, are you still younger than me?" โ
Guan Yuan immediately said: "My brother is only 15 years old this year." โ
Xu Qiaoqing's mouth grew when she ate, "It doesn't look like it"
Guan Yuan took the opportunity to say: "We all want to marry wives younger than ourselves. "So don't be delusional about where you came from and where you're going.
Xu Qiaoqing is also a girl in the end, and when she heard what Guan Yuan said, her face turned red with shame, and after saying a few words, she hurriedly said goodbye.
Zhao Shenggu pinched his nose helplessly: "Naughty again." โ
