58. Fly freely
The car drove into the town, and Zou Qi curiously leaned on the window of the car and looked out, and the mountainside in the distance blocked patches of white clouds.
"Maybe it's raining for the next two days." Yuan Mu said.
"Maybe it's the gods who come out to play!" Zou Qi fantasized.
Zou Weiliang reminded: "You are studying law. β
Zou Qi said: "The law is in charge of people, if the gods don't go down to earth, the law can't control it, if the gods go down to earth, then they should be people." β
Zou Weiliang: "......"
Yuan Mu suddenly applauded twice, and Zou Qi laughed with a "flutter": "What I said nonsense doesn't make sense." β
Yuan Mu put down his hand and smiled. Zou Qi looked at the shallow smile on her face, and suddenly understood what she meant by "can't communicate normally", not that she couldn't continue the words - it wasn't too difficult to say a few words, but like now, no one caught up with her thinking, so she didn't want to speak. Zou Qi feels that chatting is a very casual thing, there is something to talk about, nothing to chat, everyone can be relaxed, this is a process of rest, but for Yuan Mu, maybe chatting is a labor process.
Yuan Mu saw Zou Qi suddenly show sympathetic eyes, I don't know why, Zou Qi turned his head away and continued to look out the window, Yuan Mu didn't ask the meaning of that look.
"Is it a right turn?" Zou Weiliang asked, this place is relatively remote, and he is afraid of making mistakes in navigation.
"Yes, turn right."
Lao Zang made an appointment to meet in a small square in the town, with a relatively wide field of vision, and it was easy for the two sides to see each other. The small square is not far from the junior high school where Yuan Mu went to school, Yuan Mu knows the way, and then she reminds her how to go when she arrives at the intersection. Driving to the small square, Yuan Mu saw Lao Zang's pickup truck at a glance, and felt that the car seemed to have changed a little, and there was a person leaning on the door, Yuan Mu looked at it from a distance and felt that that person was not quite right. She was wondering if she had recognized the wrong car, Zou Weiliang drove closer, and Yuan Mu finally saw clearly what was wrong, Lao Zang was actually wearing a suit.
Lao Zang barely wore a suit. Yuan Mu's face was complicated, she only said that she wanted Lao Zang to dress neatly, but she didn't say that she wanted to dress so formally.
Zou Weiliang asked, "Is this the car?" β
"Yes."
Zou Weiliang stopped the car, and all three got out of the car. Lao Zang had a lollipop in his mouth, and when he saw Yuan Mu, he quickly chewed the candy, took the stick out of his mouth and threw it into the trash can on the side. He stopped next to the trash can to throw the little stick.
Lao Zang walked over with a smile on his face, shook his hand with Zou Weiliang twice, and said enthusiastically: "Come here and be tired, go home to have some food and then leave?" β
Zou Weiliang smiled and excused himself: "Don't bother, the law firm still has something to do, I'll just eat something nearby and go back." β
"That's okay, the work is important, I won't delay your time. I drive this road more than 100 times a year, you can rest assured, I will definitely deliver them safely. Lao Zang pointed to a small restaurant and said, "That bamboo shoots are well done, I often eat them, you can try them." β
Zou Weiliang looked over, his gaze stopped for a second, and then nodded: "Okay, thank you." β
Lao Zang: "It's estimated that the family is cooking, so let's go first." I'll see you here the day after tomorrow, at half past four in the afternoon, can you see it? β
"Yes, I'll see you then."
"Goodbye." Lao Zang opened the back door of the pickup truck and said to the two girls, "Please get in the car, I'll take the things." β
Yuan Mu found that the car has changed, clean, the body is waxed, bright, even the wheels are washed as if they just bought back, Yuan Mu doesn't remember how long he hasn't seen the original color of the wheels, in the past, Lao Zang always said that going to the store to wash the car is a waste of money, and the two of Xiaopi and one person and one water hose flush the car together even if it has been washed, this time it is a new life for this car. Yuan Mu got in the car first and left the seat on the right to Zou Qi so that she could enjoy the scenery. The inside of the car has also been washed, and this clean Cheng dΓΉ Yuan Mu is a little unadaptable.
Lao Zang put Zou Qi's backpack in the passenger seat, got into the car and asked, "Are you hungry?" I've got bread, biscuits, chocolate, and orange juice, do you want it? β
Zou Qi smiled and said, "I ate a lot on the way, and I'm going to eat soon, thank you, uncle." β
"No thanks, no thanks. So let's go? β
Yuan Mu: "Let's go." β
Lao Zang started the car and drove out smoothly. Today he drove very well, and when he was squeezed, he honestly gave up his position, he didn't scold a word, and he didn't honk his horn wildly.
The terrain of the town is still relatively flat, the uphill and downhill slopes are not too steep, and when you go up the mountain, the terrain is changeable, and there is no hint of going up and down the slope, but Lao Zang can drive this mountain road like a flat land, not seeking speed but stability. Zou Qi opened the car window, looked at the green mountains and white clouds, and sighed: "There must be immortals living here." β
"It's really possible." Lao Zang took over, "Although we are in the mountains, we have never heard of ghosts or fierce beasts, and we are very safe, like a paradise." β
"I also think it's like a paradise, it's so beautiful." Zou Qi's voice was like drinking wine, and his hair fluttered, "The mountains are really clean, Yuan Mu, no wonder you are different from us." β
Lao Zang said: "Yuan Mu is indeed different. But Xiaopi also grew up here, that kind of temperament can really annoy people to death, the same rice to raise a hundred kinds of people. β
Zou Qi nodded: "Makes sense." Ms. Sheng lives in a big city, and I think she is different from us. Yuan Mu, do you and Teacher Sheng have a special spiritual resonance, so they became good friends? β
Yuan Mu: "Yes." β
Lao Zang laughed twice: "Yuan Mu, I thought you didn't talk to your father very much, because your father was bored, your sister was so lively, and you didn't talk to her, you really couldn't be cured." β
Zou Qi said: "I still like my sister's character, and I won't be noisy." β
Lao Zang smiled: "That's right, Xiaopi and I have been arguing all day long, and she hasn't been angry." Close the window after a while, you just came to the mountains, you haven't adapted to the climate, and you are prone to colds. β
"Oh, good." Zou Qi raised the window and left a slit.
Yuan Mu said: "Close it all, you touch your forehead, is it cold?" β
Zou Qi touched his head, it was really cold, and obediently closed the crack in the window. "How much longer?"
"Twenty or thirty minutes, are you hungry?"
Zou Qi whispered embarrassedly, "I want to go to the toilet." β
"No problem, sit tight!" Lao Zang finally released his nature, stepped on the accelerator and flew freely on the mountain road.
Zou Qi is not familiar with the road at the car window, and there is no warning at all when he turns a corner, this roller coaster ride is thrilling and absolutely real, Zou Qi looked at the ravine and was frightened, completely forgetting the internal emergency. Fortunately, Lao Zang is really good at driving, there is no danger, and the car is parked in front of the house.
Xiaopi had a good ear, ran out after listening to the sound, and stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet Zou Qi.
Yuan Mu was already surprised twice today, and when he saw Lian Xiaopi wearing a white shirt, he was already very calm.
"The master is cooking inside." Xiaopi said.
Yuan Mu nodded and took Zou Qi into the door together. Zou Qi asked, "Are there all neighbors' houses next to it?" "It's too close, and it's probably next to the wall. The countryside is rich, and other people's houses are built alone, and Zou Qi has never seen anyone living together all the way.
"It's all from our family. Stacked wood, machine, and some finished semi-finished products. β
"Such a long row of houses? Wow! Zou Qi's eyes widened, "Can I take a look after eating?" I haven't seen how furniture is made out of wood. β
"Of course, you can make a stool for you to see."
Zou Qi shook his hand and said, "No need for this, it's too troublesome." β
Yuan Mu smiled: "Don't bother, if you don't take up space at home, the stool will be ready for you to take back." β
"Really? Then I want a stool to put in my room. Zou Qi said with a smile.
"I'll call you in the afternoon. It's hard to ride today, and I'll take you up the mountain tomorrow. Entering the living room, Yuan Mu pointed out the location of the bathroom to Zou Qi, asked her to sit first, and went to the kitchen to find Yuan Songlin by herself.
In the morning, I said that I would let Lao Zang open slowly, don't scare the little girl, I didn't expect Lao Zang to arrive now, Yuan Songlin pinched the time to cook, and only then did he make two dishes, and now he is in a hurry.
"People are coming? How's it going, no motion sickness, right? β
"Well, in the living room, no motion sickness. Lao Zang bought food, and she also brought snacks herself, don't worry. Yuan Mu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash his hands.
Yuan Songlin waved his hand: "You go and accompany her, she is not familiar with this place, and it is safe to have someone she knows to accompany her." Let Lao Zang help me for a while. β
As he was talking, Lao Zang came in: "Two dishes, not slow, the little girl said that she ate a lot of snacks on the road and was not hungry." Come, Yuan Mu, you go out, I'll come. β
Yuan Mu put down his sleeves and walked out of the kitchen.
Xiaopi looked quite like that in his shirt, and sat with Zou Qi, very gentlemanly separated from a person's position. Both of them were β‘β‘ years old, and their mental age was about the same, and the communication was very pleasant, and Yuan Mu approached and heard them discussing which snacks were delicious.
"We'll have to wait a little while for dinner." Yuan Mu said.
Zou Qi: "I'm not too hungry yet." Come and sit, Yuan Mu, what snacks do you like to eat? β
Xiaopi: "She doesn't eat snacks, I can't buy too much to eat, and it's almost expired, so she and Lao Zang help me eat some." β
Zou Qi nodded and said, "Well, like her." β
Yuan Mu sat down on the other side of Zou Qi, so as not to interrupt them, a little absent-minded.
Xiao Pi said: "I just found a very delicious one, popping shrimp chips." β
"I've eaten it too! What do you like to eat? β
"I like the original."
Yuan Mu said, "I'll go out and make a call." β
"There you go." Zou Qi quickly turned around, and then continued to discuss with Xiaopi.
Yuan Mu walked into the courtyard and put his phone to his ear.
After a "beep", Yuan Mu heard the sound of her thinking all the way.
"Arrived?"
"Hmm......" Yuan Mu pressed the phone tightly so that Sheng Fengshi's voice was clearer.
