Farewell to Cheng Ying, Niu Tiangou embarked on a journey to Xiangliu County, Jiangnan Province on the second weekend.

Tang Xiaoping said in the letter that her uncle was in the Xiangliu County Education Bureau, and he could transfer Niu Tiangou over.

Take a bus from Yunyang to Jiangcheng, and then take a train from Jiangcheng to Xingcheng, the capital of Jiangnan Province.

Out of the Xingcheng Railway Station, Niu Tiangou hurried to the bus station, ready to take the car to Xiangliu.

Niu Tiangou was walking hurriedly on the wide street, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind: "Rob the money!" ”

When Niu Tiangou turned around, he saw three young men running frantically towards the side of the street, and a girl following behind and hurriedly chasing. The people walking in the street also stopped and looked at the three young men in surprise.

Niu Tiangou was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood something.

Grandma's, someone robbed it! As soon as he remembered that he had been picked up at the Beijing Gate bus station, his fire came up.

Niu Tiangou quickly rushed to the side of the road, and then waved his right hand: "Snort-" "Snort-" "Snort-", with three gentle hisses, the three young men who were running wildly suddenly rushed forward and fell to the ground.

The girl chasing after her was stunned for a moment, glanced at Niu Tiangou, and then quickly ran forward and retrieved her bag from a young man.

At this time, some curious people also gathered around:

"Girl, what's the matter?"

"Did they rob you of your wallet?"

"This security environment is too bad!"

"Damn, robbing in broad daylight, damn it."

"Girl, did you call the police?"

“……”

……

Listening to people's discussions, the girl was stunned for a moment, quickly walked to a nearby phone booth, and called the police.

Then the girl came to Niu Tiangou, with curved eyebrows, long eyelashes, sparkling Danfeng eyes, and a delicate face flushed: "Thank you!" ”

"No thanks." Niu Tiangou hurriedly said: "What happened just now?" ”

It was only then that the girl began to talk about what had just happened.

It turned out that the girl was walking on the road just now, and a young man riding a bicycle suddenly dropped a small bag when passing by the girl, and the girl saw it, and glanced at the back of the young man riding a bicycle in front of her, and was hesitating, at this time, two young men suddenly came out of the side, one of them bent down to pick up the small bag, quickly opened it, and whispered: "Ah, so much money!" And a gold necklace! ”

"Don't squeak, we'll split it evenly." Another young man hurriedly stepped forward and said to the girl.

"Let's go, let's go over there and divide it!" The young man who picked up the bag pointed to the secluded place next to him, and glanced at the girl and the other young man.

"Okay, let's go."

The girl hesitated for a moment, thought of the gold necklace inside, and involuntarily followed.

When they came to the secluded place, before they could open the bag, the young man on the bicycle came in a hurry, and the young man who picked up the small bag hurriedly threw the bag into the corner of the side.

"Did you pick up my bag?" The young man on the bike got out of the car and asked hurriedly.

"No, no." The two young men here shook their heads again and again.

"Then you take out the money and things on your body, and I'll take a look." The young man on the bike didn't seem to believe it, and wanted to check their money, "I have fifteen thousand dollars in that little bag, and a gold necklace." ”

The two young men took out their own money, cigarettes and lighters, totaling less than three hundred yuan.

"What about you?" The young man on the bicycle asked the girl.

In order to clear her innocence, the girl also took out her wallet: "I only have 2,000 yuan in my bag, which is my living expenses in school. ”

The young man on the bicycle took the purse from the girl's hand, looked at it pretendedly, and suddenly dropped the worn-out bicycle, turned and ran. Seeing this, the other two young men also hurriedly picked up the small bag thrown in the corner, and ran away with the young man who had dropped the bicycle.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to her senses, knowing that she had been fooled, she immediately chased after the three young men, shouting while chasing: "Grab the money......

So, the scene that everyone just saw happened.

"There are really any liars now." The person next to him sighed after listening to the girl's narration.

Niu Tiangou also understood that the three young men were a gang that used packet loss as bait to carry out robberies.

After the girl finished speaking, she pulled Niu Tiangou aside, her face was still red, Danfeng's eyes were shining, and her eyes flashed with surprise: "You...... Can you do qigong? ”

"Hmm...... Will be a little. Niu Tiangou hurriedly said casually, he didn't want to tell her the truth.

The girl wanted to say something more, but she heard the sound of "uh-uh-uh-hmm" getting closer and closer, and a police car came.

"You may have to go to the police station with the police car to make a record, then I'll go first." Seeing that the police car was about to arrive, Niu Tiangou hurriedly turned around to leave, he didn't want to go to the police station to be asked about the bobbin nail shell, it would be a big trouble, besides, he had to rush to see Tang Xiaoping.

"Huh?" The girl glanced at Niu Tiangou suspiciously, she wanted to keep him to testify with her, but why didn't he want to?

Maybe he's afraid of trouble? The girl thought about it, and finally had to blush and say, "That...... Well, thank you so much. I'm a first-year student at Xingcheng Medical College, my name is Xue Lian, and I have time to ...... Come to me. ”

"Okay." Niu Tiangou responded casually. Saussurea? Lotus flowers on snowy mountains? The name is interesting, and while thinking, he turned around and blended into the crowd......

……

After a few hours of driving from Star City, I arrived in Tang Xiaoping's town.

There is a newly excavated road on the edge of the town, revealing orange-red dirt, which is completely different from the gray-yellow dirt of Niu Tiangou's hometown.

After getting out of the car, Niu Tiangou asked two places, walked for a while, and saw a young man.

"May I ask you, where is Tang Xiaoping's home?" Niu Tiangou stepped forward and asked politely.

The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at Niu Tiangou suspiciously, saw Niu Tiangou holding a gift in his hand, seemed to understand something, and then pointed to a room next to him.

The walls of the house were whitewashed with lime. Walking to the front of the house, Niu Tiangou asked inside, "Is there anyone at home?" ”

At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged woman came out of the house, glanced at Niu Tiangou, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Tang Xiaoping."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she hurriedly turned her head and shouted in, "Xiaoping! Xiaoping! Someone is looking for it. ”

A girl who was about the same height as Niu Tiangou and looked delicate came out.

"Are you...... Niu ......" The girl seemed to recognize Niu Tiangou. They sent each other photos.

Niu Tiangou smiled and nodded. He didn't expect Tang Xiaoping to be so petite and delicate, and thought she was a tall man, because she sent Niu Tiangou an enlarged half-length photo.

"Come in and sit." Tang Xiaoping's face flushed slightly, and she turned around.

……

At dinner, Niu Tiangou sat around the table with her family.

Her father is a simple and simple middle-aged man, and her mother is the middle-aged woman just now, and she has an older brother, a younger sister and a younger brother.

Tang Xiaoping doesn't say much, she seems to have a quiet personality, maybe it's not good to say anything casually in front of her family, her sister seems to have a lively temperament, and she looks at Niu Tiangou with a smile from time to time, and her brother asks Niu Tiangou about some things in school and the situation of riding on the road.

There was a kettle on the floor next to the table, and under the kettle was a small hearth, and the kettle was "squeaking" and steaming. This is the first time I have seen this hearth, which not only saves space, but also warms the house. Maybe everyone in Xiangliu County, Jiangnan Province is like this, right? Niu Tiangou thought.

After dinner, Tang Xiaoping took Niu Tiangou to her dormitory in the textile factory to rest.

On the way to the factory, Tang Xiaoping said that she told her uncle about her and Niu Tiangou some time ago, and her uncle promised her to transfer Niu Tiangou over, but her uncle said that it might be difficult to transfer to Xiangliu County, so she could only be temporarily arranged in the town middle school.

"It's the same everywhere. It is also difficult for our rural teachers to enter the county, and they have to find a lot of connections and stuff money. Niu Tiangou expressed understanding.

"But it's better to save you from running both ends like my uncle in the future." Tang Xiaoping said.

……

After breakfast the next day, Tang Xiaoping and her mother sent Niu Tiangou to the side of the highway for a ride.

When passing by a small shop on the street of the town, Tang Xiaoping said: "This is my uncle's house." ”

Tang Xiaoping's mother and Tang Xiaoping led Niu Tiangou into the small shop.

Inside, a plump and pretty woman about 30 years old greeted Tang Xiaoping's mother with a smile, glanced at Niu Tiangou and Tang Xiaoping with a smile, and turned to go inside.

"This is my aunt, and my uncle may not be at home." Tang Xiaoping hurriedly explained to Niu Tiangou.

After a while, Aunt Pretty came out with a rectangular tea tray in both hands, two delicate teacups in the tea tray, and came to Niu Tiangou with a slight smile.

Niu Tiangou hesitated.

Could it be that Jiangnan people are very hospitable, and inviting people to drink tea is so polite and exquisite? He didn't know what to do.

At this time, Tang Xiaoping's mother came over with a smile, picked up a teacup, and drank it. Seeing this, Niu Tiangou also picked up the teacup, saw that there were red and bright tea leaves soaked in it, and tasted it, it tasted good......

Later, Niu Tiangou learned that there is a custom of "drinking tea for life" in this area. The man goes to the woman's house to meet, and if the woman agrees, he will serve tea to the man. If the man agrees, he will put the "tea money" (it must be an even number) in the cup after drinking the tea. After drinking tea, there is hope for the success of this marriage.

……

Out of Aunt Tang Xiaoping's house, when passing by a school, Tang Xiaoping's mother pointed to the school with a happy face, and said to Niu Tiangou: "This is the town middle school." Xiaoping's uncle said, if you are transferred, you will be arranged here. ”

Niu Tiangou turned his head to look, the school was about the same size as his Beihe Town Middle School, but the two tall buildings in the courtyard were much more imposing than the two-story teaching building of Beihe Middle School.

When I came to the side of the road, the car came in a while. Before getting into the car, Tang Xiaoping's mother forced Niu Tiangou to give Niu Tiangou a 10 yuan bill.

The car started, Niu Tiangou waved at Tang Xiaoping and her mother through the car window, and Tang Xiaoping also waved his hand to him......

……

A few days later, Tang Xiaoping wrote to Niu Tiangou to study quickly, saying that he might have to take the exam after being transferred......

Putting down the letter, Niu Tiangou replied to her on a whim:

Xiangliu River, the amorous river

Xiangliu River,

Amorous river.

Nine bends,

It is your delicate and tender bowels;

clear water,

It's the eye wave you look forward to.

Xiangliu River,

Amorous river.

Hunan embroidery Yanyan,

It's your glamorous dress;

fireworks cannons,

It's the grace in your heart.

Xiangliu River,

Amorous river.

Crossing the Xiangjiang River,

Passing through the cave,

It's your leisurely feelings;

Rong Yangtze River,

Han Shui,

It's your infatuated attachment.

Xiangliu River,

Amorous river.

Han water in the north,

unforgettable;

May the long wind ride down,

Meet in the Yangtze River hand in hand,

Running to the sea,

A song of love on the same score.
