CHAPTER XVII

"Yi Xiaoxiao, you express!" Li Quan stopped a student who passed in front of his small shop.

Li Quankai's commissary is downstairs in the girls' dormitory, and a courier point has been registered, which can usually help students pick up couriers, so that it is much easier for them to pick up couriers.

"Huh? Uncle Li, do you call me? Yi Xiaoxiao stopped talking to the classmate next to him, and turned his head to look at the commissary uncle next to him.

Because he often passes by here and goes into his house to buy some small things, Li Quan is more familiar with these female students.

Li Quan smiled, glanced at the courier in his hand and said, "Who are you called?" Easy to be a little and your express. Not...... It's a letter from your house. ”

Her home? Yi Xiaoxiao paused, the smile on his face stiffened, and said to the person next to him: "Aman, you go back to the dormitory first, and I'll pick up the mail." ”

Seeing that Yi Xiaoxiao's face was a little wrong, Liu Manxiao patted Yi Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yo~ Could it be that your family found you a partner?" Still shy? Don't want to tell us? ”

Liu Manxiao's deliberate ridicule made Yi Xiaoxiao's face much better, his heart relaxed, and his cheeks were much more rosy, "Hey! Where do you think of this? Alright, you go up first, I'll be back in a moment. ”

"Okay—" Liu Manxiao said in a long voice, "Then I'll go up first." ”

After Liu Manxiao left, Yi Xiaoxiao walked to the commissary, stood in front of the counter, took the courier and said to Li Quan: "Uncle Li, when is this courier." ”

Li Quan took out a pen and handed it to Yi Xiaoxiao, "Just sign here." "Put away the delivery list. Li Quan replied, "Two days ago, okay." OK. ”

Yi Xiaoxiao was about to leave, when suddenly Li Quan behind her stopped her and asked casually, "Xiaoxiao, this is the first time your family has sent you a courier, so many students, it is the first time I have met a student who has been studying for three years and received a courier from home." ”

Yi Xiaoxiao's body paused for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "It's too far from home." It's inconvenient to send the courier, Uncle Li, I'll leave first. Thank you. ”

"Tiny, don't come back......"

"Tiny, don't come back......"

"Tiny ......"

"Tiny!"

Yi Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and found that Liu Manxiao was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her anxiously. "Tiny. What happened to you? Liu Manxiao moved, got down from Yi Xiaoxiao's bed, moved a stool from the side and sat aside, and handed Yi Xiaoxiao a glass of water.

"What's wrong with me? What time is it? As soon as Yi Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to speak, she felt that her throat was very dry, and she broke out in a cold sweat, so she took the water in Liu Manxiao's hand and drank it, only then did she feel better.

"It's morning, and those two men are gone. How do I know you're like this? One night there talking in my sleep. Swing around in bed all the time, if you don't sleep in the bottom of the bed. Maybe you're going to fall out of bed, look at how white your face is now, what are you dreaming about? ”

"Something is wrong with you since you received that letter that day, could it be that your family really found you a partner? Is your family still having an arranged marriage? ”

Seeing that Yi Xiaoxiao woke up, although her spirit was not very good, but it was much better than before, Liu Manxiao began to count her down, and asked her what was wrong by the way.

Yi Xiaoxiao hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly, "I don't remember either, I just had a not very good dream." Sitting up from the bed, Yi Xiaoxiao smiled at Liu Manxiao and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, that is, I took leave yesterday and wanted to go home." ”

Liu Manxiao almost fell off the stool, staring at Yi Xiaoxiao with a pair of eyes, "Have you asked for leave?" How can I say it now! Oh! In that case, I'm going to sleep alone in this dormitory! ”

Yi Xiaoxiao took out the clothes from the closet, and glanced at Liu Manxiao, who had an exaggerated facial expression next to him, "Where is there only one person, and the other two don't count?" I went to take a shower first, and I was sweating and sticky. ”

Liu Manxiao snorted, took an orange on the table and peeled it, "Forget it, you go to take a bath first, hurry up, there will be an old man's class in a while." ”

Entering the bathroom, Yi Xiaoxiao stood under the showerhead, and the words kept ringing in his head, "Xiaoxiao, don't come back...... Don't come back......"

After a while, the bathroom heard the sound of running water, and after a while, the mist gradually filled the frosted glass of the bathroom.

Liu Manxiao was outside to pack up the books he was going to use for a while, suddenly patted his head, and then shouted loudly at the bathroom: "Yi Xiaoxiao! You took a leave of absence yesterday, so you don't have to go to class today! ”

The sound of the water in the bathroom was a little loud, Yi Xiaoxiao turned off the water a little, listened to the words outside with his ears sideways, and only then replied when the outside was finished, "Huh? Yes, I won't be in class today, and I'll go back with a ticket in the afternoon. ”

"What?! You Nizi didn't say it sooner! I'm going to be late, so I'll go first. ”

It didn't take long for there to be a rush outside, and after a while, it was quiet.

Yi Xiao paused for a moment before turning on the water in the bathroom again and continuing to take a bath.

When Yi Xiaoxiao came out, there was no longer Liu Manxiao outside, and with a soft sigh, Yi Xiaoxiao began to pack his luggage home.

***

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the train to L county will start to check, please check the passenger, the train to L county will start to check, please check the passenger, the train to L county will start to check, please check the passenger.

In the waiting hall, the radio rang three times, Yi Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately pulled up the luggage pole and put on his backpack and walked to the ticket gate. I took out the ticket from my bag and handed it to the ticket inspector, "Hello, this is my ticket." ”

"Well, that's it, next."

There were a lot of people in the station, Yi Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe and saw the train he was going to do, and finally squeezed over, and then got on the train.

L County is a small county town, so the buses that drive there are all buses, and there are too many people in the car. It's very inconvenient.

On the car, Yi Xiaoxiao looked at the tickets in his hand one by one, 43 ...... Number 43. Got it.

No. 43 is inside, No. 42 outside, there are already passengers, Yi Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, can you please let me in?" ”

The man didn't look up, but just turned sideways to let Yi Xiaoxiao in.

Easy to be small. Don't come back, forever......

Sit in the car and look out at the scenery. This sentence sounded in Yi Xiaoxiao's head.

In the small village shrouded in mist, a scream suddenly rang out, "Ahhh

……

Yi Xiaoxiao woke up from the dream suddenly, rubbed his eyes and forehead, picked up the mineral water on his leg with one hand and took a sip. The other hand lifted the curtain and glanced out the window. Wake up.

"Are you awake?" A low male voice suddenly sounded from the side, Yi Xiaoxiao paused, and then turned his head sideways, it was No. 42, Yi Xiaoxiao smiled, "Yes, it's too far from home here, it's boring in the car." So I slept and what happened? ”

"Nothing. It's just that you've been screaming and having nightmares, right? The man didn't raise his head all the time, but just lowered his head to speak, wearing a black ball cap on his head, looking from the edge, Yi Xiaoxiao could only see his beautifully shaped chin, this was a very good-looking man.

"Well, excuse me, I want to ask, where are we now?" Yi Xiaoxiao put the mineral water in his hand and slowly scrubbed.

"Just past M City, you are going back to L County, where are you from L County?" The man thought for a while and said, turning his head slightly sideways to look at Yi Xiaoxiao, Yi Xiaoxiao only saw the graceful chin turning slightly.

"Ahh Yi Xiaoxiao paused and replied, "Well, I'll go back to Yi Village, L County." Out of politeness, Yi Xiaoxiao also asked back, "Then where are you?" ”

"Huh? I'm not from L County, I'm here to see acquaintances. It seems that he didn't expect that he had been sleeping since he got in the car, and the silent Yi Xiaoxiao would ask him, and the man was stunned for a moment.

"Oh." Yi Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and then smiled at the man and said, "That, I'll trouble you for a while, call me when you get to L County, I'm a little motion sick, I'll sleep first." ”

The man didn't speak, just nodded, Yi Xiaoxiao saw it, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Then thank you." ”

The mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist, and the tips of the mountains loomed in the mist, and Yi Village was there.

Yi Xiaoxiao glanced outside, frowned slightly, reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and then lowered the curtain and continued to sleep.

"Hmm...... Go away......"

It was all dark, as if it was stuck in a quagmire, sticky and couldn't shake off, his hands and feet were bound, he couldn't move and couldn't break free, Yi Xiaoxiao raised his head, trying to breathe some fresh air.

The surroundings were very quiet, so shocked that I could only hear my own breathing, "Whew-whew-", so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable......

"Hey, are you alright? Wake up, we're here. ”

She opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes looked straight at the roof of the car, the air conditioner on it was still whirring, she opened her mouth and breathed heavily, her heart still beating violently.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Yi Xiaoxiao's head is sideways, and the eye is a face, the face that is not covered by the ball cap is very handsome, but it is also a very familiar face, knife-like facial features, as if the eyebrows have been cropped, deep eyes, and thin lips.

Very young, it turns out that he is still a boy.

His throat was a little dry, Yi Xiaoxiao licked her lips, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "It's okay, thank you, we're here?" ”

"Well, County L has arrived." The man pointed out the window, where he lifted the curtains, and outside the window was a lively street where vendors were selling their products.

The sunlight outside hit Yi Xiaoxiao's body directly, warm and comfortable, and the nightmare that he had just experienced was dispelled at once.

"Ah, thank you." Yi Xiaoxiao retracted his gaze and said to the man next to him.

"It's fine, but you don't look good, do you have nightmares? His forehead was covered with sweat, and he wiped it. The man took out a handkerchief from the backpack behind him, handed it to Yi Xiaoxiao, and said gently.

Looking at the handkerchief in front of him, Yi Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and took it, "Thank you, I think you are a little familiar, have we met?" "But...... Today's boys still use handkerchiefs?

Yi Xiaoxiao touched her head, her forehead was cold, and sure enough, it was full of sweat, she wiped the handkerchief in her hand indiscriminately, looked up, she was about to say something more, but the boy next to her was gone.

There was some fragrance in the air, looking down at the handkerchief in his hand, Yi Xiaoxiao put it under his nose and smelled it, the smell of tranquility.

***

Yi Village is a remote mountain village in L County, shrouded in fog all year round, because in the mountains, the environment is relatively closed, so few people from outside go to Yi Village all year round, and there is only one road to that village, narrow and winding.

Because it is too narrow, there is usually no car to go up, and if there is a foreigner who wants to go, it is usually called a tricycle to go up.

Yi Xiaoxiao glanced around, and then got on a tricycle, "Master, please go to Yi Village." ”

"Where? Are you going to Yi Village? The tricycle master turned his head from the front, and said in shock with a cigarette in his mouth.

Yi Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "Yes, master, what's wrong?" ”

The master took the cigarette down, extinguished it, sighed, and glanced at Yi Xiaoxiao's dress, "Little girl, you're from outside." You don't know yet, there is no one in Yicun now. ”

As soon as the master's words fell, Yi Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly, "What did you say!" Sensing that his emotions might be too big, Yi Xiaoxiao smiled a little reluctantly, "Master, what do you mean by what you just said?" ”

Seeing that Yi Xiaoxiao reacted greatly, the master glanced at her, but he was not very surprised, "It was about a month ago that Yi Village suddenly caught fire, and the fire burned for several days and nights, and no one escaped. ”

And what about the fire brigade? Why didn't the fire brigade go! Yi Xiaoxiao wanted to ask loudly, but when she thought of the geographical location of Yi Village, she dispelled this idea in her heart.

"Hey, it's also because Yicun is too remote, and by the time the fire brigade knows, it's been a long time. By the way, girl, did you go to Yicun to see your relatives? ”

"Huh? Ah, yes. Yi Xiaoxiao replied with a pale face, and the expression between her eyebrows was a little frightened.

"Then now that Yi Village is gone, are you still going?" The master asked as he lit the cigarette again and put it in his mouth.

"Oh, I'm not going now, I'm thinking about it, I'm bothering you, master." After saying that, Yi Xiaoxiao immediately got out of the car and walked into the distance.

At the moment, the sky is a little overcast, and it looks like it is going to rain.

A month ago...... A few days ago......

Yi Xiaoxiao carried his schoolbag, pulled his luggage with his right hand and walked hurriedly to the hotel on the side, while his left hand was tightly tugging on the pocket of his clothes, in which was lying the letter sent from Yi Village a few days ago, which had been seriously deformed under Yi Xiaoxiao's strength.

Yi Xiaoxiao, your mother is seriously ill, come back soon!!

Mom said, "Xiaoxiao, don't come back...... (To be continued.) )
