In order to surprise Mao Dong, Liang Ju went to Sha Pei the next day to ask for the address of Mao Dong's hometown, but unfortunately Sha Pei had to drink outside with his friends at night, and Liang Ju couldn't wait to go to the hotel to find him.

The restaurant is an ordinary hot pot restaurant, and when Liang Ju arrived at the door of the store, he called Sha Pei again.

"You can come up directly, I'm on the second floor." Shar Pei was very noisy over there, and Liang Ju heard many people toasting each other over there over the phone.

Liang Ju didn't want to go up, so he wanted to wait downstairs, "It's messy up there, it's better for you to come down." ”

"I can't leave, it's okay, it's all my buddies, you just come up and sit down."

Liang Ju reluctantly agreed.

followed the waiter to the second floor, and as soon as he opened the door, there was a miasma of smoke inside, and a large group of old men collectively surrounded the table to swallow clouds and spitting fog, and Liang Ju couldn't see who was who.

"Yo, whose sister is this, which brother are you looking for?"

Liang Ju covered his mouth with his hand, and waved his other hand in front of his eyes, "I'm looking for Shapi." ”

"Orange, it's coming up so soon!"

A rough voice sounded behind him, and as soon as Liang Ju turned around, he saw Sha Pei's big face flushed with alcohol.

"Brother, is it convenient for you, let's come out and talk about it."

As soon as they heard Liang Ju call Brother Shapi, the men in the private room began to coax blindly, "Don't be Shapi, such a beautiful sister won't introduce her brother to a few times." ”

Liang Ju kept covering her mouth, she despised the drunken and ruffian talking of a group of old men, she walked out the door, and did not forget to tell Sha Pei, "I'll go downstairs and wait for you." ”

Shar Pei grabbed her hand and made an apologetic gesture to the private room, "I'm sorry, my sister has something to do with me, I'll be back in a while." ”

There was another burst of laughter accompanied by a whistle, and Liang Ju didn't bother to take care of it, so he turned around and left.

Shar Pei followed Liang Ju to the aisle outside the door of the private room on the second floor, and Liang Ju leaned against the railing and reached out to open the window on the corridor.

A gust of cold wind blew in his face, Sha Pei was anxious, and raised his hand to close the window, "Silly, open the window in winter." ”

"You don't smell that smell on you, it's smoked to death, Brother Shape, can't you drink less?"

"What do you little girl know, what can't you rely on entertainment now?"

"Entertainment is not as bad as you, do you know what it means to drink alcohol on your face, it means that you don't absorb alcohol in your body"

"Gotta it, don't talk to my brother for a few days and fall in love and it will change." Shapi raised his hand to cover Liang Ju's mouth, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Say, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" ”

"Take your paw away." Liang Ju knocked his hand off and wiped his mouth. She glanced up at him and said, "I want to know the address of Brother Mao Dong's hometown." ”

"What!" Shapi looked very surprised, "What do you want people's hometown addresses for?" ”

"I don't sue you."

Sha Pei squinted at Liang Ju, suddenly remembered something, and slapped his forehead vigorously with a 'snap', "Is my brother gone?" ”

"Hmm."

"You said that I have such a memory, how did I forget my Bei brother's death day, my brother must have gone back to his hometown to go to the grave!"

"You're dazed!" Liang Ju pouted at him disdainfully, "You still said that you have a good relationship with Brother Mao Bei, and you can forget such an important day, you can really do it." ”

"It's not my fault, I've been crazy all this time." He changed the topic and stared at Liang Ju, "What do you want the address of your hometown, are you going?" ”

His eyes were so big and round that Liang Ju didn't dare to look at them directly, for fear that his eyes would fall out. "I'm going to surprise him, so I can't tell him about it."

"I said little ancestor, I feel uncomfortable if you don't die, I don't feel good, last time I already risked my life to help you deceive my brother, this time if you secretly carry my brother to his hometown again, he won't directly break, I won't call Shar Pei!"

Liang Ju glanced at him under the crotch of his pants appropriately, didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"Really, is it so exaggerated?"

"What do you say? It's so far away from his hometown, if you have something to do on the road alone, my brother will pluck my hair when you come back! ”

"Phew! Can't you just say something good? ”

Sha Pei glanced at the private room, leaned against the wall and whispered to Liang Ju: "Tell you the truth, every year Zhong Ling and I will accompany my brother home, this year he won't let anyone go, there must be something!" ”

"What's the matter?" Liang Ju immediately became convinced.

Shapi paused, and didn't continue, Liang Ju waited in a hurry, and slapped him on the arm. "You mean!"

"Hey, I said you can't lighten it!"

Sha Pei covered his arms and wailed, and Liang Ju crumbled his neck, "Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly!" ”

"It's not that I don't say it, it's that I can't say it!"

"What can't be said?"

"This" Sha Pei looked very embarrassed, "This thing is about my Brother Mao Bei." ”

"As your future sister-in-law, that's even more important!"

Shar Pei hesitated, saying that he was afraid that his brother would fight with him, but not that he was afraid that he would die at the hands of this little girl.

The door of the private room was pushed open from the inside, and out came a tall boy, who looked like he was not beaten, but his eyes were still staring at Liang Ju.

"Orange, why are you?"

Liang Ju looked back and found out that this person was Ye Qingting.

"Yo, Young Master Dragonfly, are you here?"

Ye Qingting was not angry when he was called by the nickname, he looked at Sha Pei and pointed with a smile, "It turns out that you know each other." ”

"How do you know him?" Liang Ju asked Shapi in a low voice.

Without waiting for Sha Pei to answer, Ye Qingting had already walked towards them, "What a coincidence, let's have a drink together?" ”

Liang Ju won't go to drink with an annoying guy, Ye Qingting's liking for Liang Ju is something that the whole school knows, and Liang Ju can hide from him, so she directly threw a sentence at Sha Pei and was ready to leave.

"GO BACK AND SEND ME THE ADDRESS ON MY PHONE, BYEBYE!"

Ye Qingting saw that Liang Ju was about to leave, and Liang Ju immediately scolded when he saw this: "Dragonfly, I sue you, don't mess with me!" ”

Ye Qingting was still smiling, but his smile was disgusting, "It's okay, we'll be here for a long time." ”

He looked at the back of Liang Ju walking down the stairs from the second floor, rubbing his hands, and his expression was simply gloomy.

***

Mao Dong took the train back to his hometown.

The temperature in my hometown is already minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius at the moment, and the cold wind of the train hits the face with a piercing pain. Fortunately, I was prepared when I came, and I wore cotton pants and cotton clothes, otherwise I was afraid that even a hard body like Mao Dong would not be able to survive such a cold day.

Mao Dong took a bus for several hours before returning from the city to his rural hometown.

The relatives of the family still live in the village, Mao Dong came back this time to buy a lot of things to see them, although there are many relatives, but the relatives who are really still in their hearts are basically the relatives on the mother's side.

went to my aunt's house, and when I left, several aunts held Mao Dong's hand for a long time and didn't let go.

"It's really hard for you as a child, if your mother is alive, she will probably be happy to see her son grow so good." My aunt looked at Mao Dong, who looked very similar to her sister, and the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Mao Dong was very calm, and hugged them one by one, "Take care of your body, I'll come back to see you when I have time." ”

"Child, do you have a partner, are you about to start a family?"

As soon as he heard the word 'object', Mao Dong's first thought was that ghost-like little girl.

He smiled back and shook his aunt's hand and said, "It's still early to get married, and when I get married, I'll bring her back to see you." ”

Even if it's not a windy day, standing outside for a while feels like I'm about to freeze my ears. Mao Dong was afraid that his aunt would freeze to death, so he urged them to go back quickly.

"I'll come back to see you, don't worry!"

"Child, your house has been sold, where do you live?"

"There is a special rental house at the entrance of the village, I live there, don't worry."

After a few more words, Mao Dong left the village under the watchful eye of his aunt.

At night, he lived alone in a simple house with a hot kang head, Mao Dong covered his arms with a thick quilt, staring at the ceiling covered with newspapers, he didn't feel home at all when he came back this time, and the excitement of seeing his relatives was not as good as before.

Maybe it's because he's older, maybe he's really letting go, but in short, this place doesn't have much meaning to him anymore.

Turning over, Mao Dong picked up his mobile phone and looked at his watch, it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening.

The night in the countryside is naturally not as lively as in the city, anyway, there is nothing to do, he simply put on a thick cotton coat and walked out of the house with a flashlight.

There is less pollution here, the air is fresh, standing in the yard, Mao Dong looked into the distance, it was pitch black, only the dark sky covered with shining stars overhead, and occasionally a few dog barks in his ears.

It doesn't look like a city with cars and high-rise buildings, and all you can hear is the barking of dogs and the occasional footsteps of one or two people walking by at the entrance of the next village.

It's just quiet and hair-chilling.

Thinking that he had lived here for more than ten years, Mao Dong couldn't imagine if he would be able to get used to it if he was allowed to come back to live now.

The dilapidated house rented in Qihai City Liang Ju has always said that it is simple, but now it seems that it is so good compared to the dilapidated wooden house he lives in at the moment.

Mao Dong turned on the flashlight, opened the iron gate, and walked to the avenue at the entrance of the village, he took a hard breath, and all he got into his nose was fresh and cold air.

When I suddenly thought of Qihai City, I had to think of that girl, and I didn't know what that girl was doing at this time.

There are stars in the sky constantly twinkling, Mao Dong tightened his coat, this place is really cold, it can freeze to death at any time.

There was a sound of cars from the entrance of the village in the distance, and it was so late that I didn't know whose relatives had come back by car.

Mao Dong wandered around casually for a while, it was too cold outside, and he had to go back to the house.

As soon as he returned to the rented house, he had closed the iron door and had not taken two steps inside, when Mao Dong heard an eager knock on the door.

On this big night, this abrupt voice sounded one after another, and even Mao Dong sighed in his heart when he heard it.

Looking back at the innkeeper's house, the lights that had been turned off were also on, presumably awakened.

The boss came out of the house wearing a cotton jacket, and saw Mao Dong standing at the door, obviously stunned, "You haven't slept so late?" ”

Mao Xian thought to himself that it was only past nine o'clock, and it was not bedtime at all in the city, but in the countryside, it was generally early to bed, so he just nodded indifferently, "Not sleepy." ”

The knocking continued, the boss walked over to open the door, and Mao Dong felt that it had nothing to do with him and walked to his house.

"Little girl, are you going to rent a house?" The boss was extremely sleepy in comparison, and he spoke with a buzzing sleepiness.

"Boss, I'm here to find someone, but I'm also staying in the hotel!"

This crisp voice is really good, Mao Dong thought as he walked into the house, if this was in Qihai City, he would definitely think it was that stupid girl.

"Who are you looking for?" The boss continued to ask.

"I'm looking for a man, his name is Mao Dong, and he just came from Qihai City!"

With a snap, Mao Dong almost tripped over the high threshold.

He hurriedly turned back, but there was no light in the yard, so Mao Dong turned on the flashlight again and looked again.

At this time, standing at the door with a big bag on her back, wrapped tightly all over her body, and only showing a small head to talk to the boss, isn't the little girl he was still thinking about just now!

"Liang Ju?" Mao Dong hesitated and shouted softly.

Mao Dong didn't dare to confirm that the person in front of him was Liang Ju, but when he saw those big eyes flickering after seeing him, and inexplicably began to cry, he was basically completely sure.

"How did you get here?" He was amazed.

"Brother Mao Dong, I finally found you, I was scared to death!" Liang Ju stretched out his arm and trotted towards Mao Dong, and threw himself directly into his arms, "I'm afraid I won't find you tonight, you don't know how scared I am, I'm scared to death!" ”

Liang Ju's voice was muffled, and she wrapped herself into a zongzi, which was hugging Mao Dong tightly at this time.

When the boss saw the scene in front of him, the yawn on his lips paused halfway, he pointed to Liang Ju and asked Mao Dong: "Young man, is this your object?" ”

Mao Dong was a little embarrassed, but he still stretched out his hand to comfort Liang Ju, and nodded at the uncle, "I'm sorry uncle, I'm causing you trouble so late." ”

The old man in his sixties looked at his body, laughed a few times and waved his hand to let Mao Dong take Liang Ju back first, "The girl is probably frozen, so hurry up and take it back to the house." ”

Liang Ju was crying excitedly from the first sight of Mao Dong, no matter whether he was embarrassed or not, he was afraid that others would see the jokes, Mao Dong was indeed afraid that the stupid girl would be frozen in this winter, so he hugged Liang Ju and nodded to the old man, and took her back to the house.

Back in the house, he took the basin and poured a basin of hot water for Liang Ju, soaked the towel in the hot water and wrung it out and handed it to her, "Wipe it quickly, if you leave so many tears and don't dry them, your face will freeze." ”

Liang Ju is now like a wronged little daughter-in-law, she sits on the kang with her hands in her pockets, and only knows that she is shedding tears with her eyes down.

For some reason, Mao Dong wanted to laugh when he saw her like this, but he still held back very kindly.

He walked up to her and took off the down hat on Liang Ju's head, and Liang Ju's beautiful short hair was flattened by the hat and stuck to his forehead.

"Obedient, wipe it quickly, if your skin is frozen, there is no place to buy you a mask."

Liang Ju sniffed, and finally took the towel in Mao Dong's hand, "I knew that this place was so difficult to find, so I wouldn't come!" I was almost knocked down by a wolfdog when I came here just now, and I thought I could be eaten by a dog! ”

"Wolfdogs? You say it's the one in the village next door? ”

"Who knows if it's the head of the village or the end of the village, as soon as I jumped off the tractor, a big black dog suddenly came out and pounced directly on me, fortunately, the uncle who drove the tractor pulled me quickly, otherwise I wouldn't have had my life to see you now!"

Mao Dong's face was cold, with a somewhat scolding tone, "Now you know how dangerous it is to run out alone, have you ever been here, dare to come alone!" ”

Liang Ju's tears that had retreated were about to flow out again, she leaned her neck and looked aggrieved, "I'm like this, you still scold me, can't you comfort and comfort me!" ”

On this big night, a little girl came to a strange place in the ice and snow alone, and was frightened by a big wolf dog.

Looking at her wolf bèi, Mao Dong's heart softened for a while, "Okay, good, but you also have to know that it's dangerous to do this." ”

"Who told me to surprise you, in order to surprise you, how can you think of danger." Liang Ju rubbed the towel with a frustrated face and muttered in a low voice.

Mao Dong sat beside her and stared at her for a long time, until he confirmed that she didn't look like she had been bitten by a dog, and he gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out the towel in her hand and washed it with hot water again, and this time, Mao Dong personally took the towel to Liang Ju to wipe his face.

"It's not as good as praying for the sea here, your ears can freeze when it's cold at night, do you bring more clothes, if not, you will wear mine first."

Liang Ju didn't know what black things were rubbed on his face, plus his little face was full of tears, and it became red when he wiped it lightly, so Mao Dong had to be lighter and lighter.

Although Qihai City is also in the north, the temperature is dozens of degrees different from here, if it weren't for the determination to resolutely come to Mao Dong, otherwise as soon as he got off the train, Liang Ju immediately had the idea of going back.

The broken wooden house only has a crumbling electric lamp above his head, and the dim light can only illuminate the small house of more than a dozen square meters, Liang Ju pursed his lips, and the afterglow was full of him who was approaching him.

Mao Dong's handsome facial features were also a little dry and red because of the cold wind, he wiped it carefully one by one, Liang Ju slowly raised his eyes, and met his bottomless black eyes.

"Do you think I am?" After enduring it for a long time, she finally spoke sneeringly.

Mao Dong paused, shifted his gaze, and locked his gaze on her big, dark, flickering eyes.

The two men were so close that they could almost breathe, and the shadow he cast from blocking the light hit her face.

Her eyes were focused and eager, as if she was anxiously waiting for his answer.

Slowly, the corners of Mao Dong's lips hooked slightly, and he raised his hand to scratch her nose vigorously, "Silly girl, you not only surprise me, but also frighten." ”

Liang Ju covered his nose with a disappointed expression, "Don't you even want me?" ”

"I can't think of you giving me so much fright." Mao Dong turned around to wash the towel.

"You don't understand, falling in love is meant to be frightened to create surprises."

"Yes, you know." Mao Dong's tone was smiling.

Liang Ju finally eased up a little, she pulled down the zipper and was about to take off the down jacket outside, Mao Dong saw this and hurriedly stopped, "You will take it off later, it is easy to catch a cold when it is cold and hot." ”

Liang Ju didn't listen, "This dress is too heavy, I'm about to be crushed to death." ”

took off his coat, and his body eased a lot, and Liang Ju began to notice the dilapidated house rented by Mao Dong.

"Where do I sleep at night?"
