Chapter 225: Strange Nightmare
Sometimes Ye Xiaoyu also felt that she was too critical of herself, just like now, not only did she have to buy another pair of shoes, but her feet were also worn out. If she had gone to buy a pair of shoes earlier, at least her feet wouldn't have blistered.
The atmosphere on the eve of the festival is really different, the teahouse is full of guests, and Qinglang just went to order an order, but he went for so long and still didn't come back.
However, Ye Xiaoyu didn't think much about it, it would be better for Qinglang to come back later, she could just take advantage of this time to expose her feet to breathe the air.
"This son, your refreshments."
The sudden sound of the shopkeeper made Ye Xiaoyu so frightened that she quickly retracted her feet into her cotton shoes.
But there were a lot of customers in the store, and everyone was busy, and the shopkeeper didn't have the heart to pay attention to Ye Xiaoyu's movements, just put the snacks and tea on the tray on the table, and then planned to leave.
"Huh? Little second brother, this is the refreshment on our table? ”
Ye Xiaoyu stared at the things in front of her, and raised her head to stop the shopkeeper who was about to leave.
"Yes, I did what you ordered, and it shouldn't be wrong."
The shopkeeper thought that Ye Xiaoyu was talking about the refreshments by mistake, and while explaining, he also took out the list.
"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask if you saw the boy who just went to order?"
After the words were spoken, Ye Xiaoyu felt that something was wrong, but this was originally a personal matter, who would encounter a thing where a fellow party ordered half of the meal and then disappeared without saying a word, this kind of embarrassing thing that is long and can't be short. Ye Xiaoyu didn't expect the shopkeeper to understand.
"I'm sorry, there are so many customers in the store, I really can't remember all of them."
The shopkeeper scratched his head and replied helplessly.
Ye Xiaoyu smiled and didn't speak again.
There are so many people who order, it's normal that she can't remember, and what is really abnormal is her companion Qinglang.
Ye Xiaoyu thought about Qinglang and probably thought of something important that needed to be solved immediately, so he said goodbye again without saying goodbye. However, this time he could even think of letting Ye Xiaoyu sit in the teahouse to rest, and also went to order something, these actions still looked like a normal person.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. Ye Xiaoyu sat alone at the table. His eyes fell on the dim sum in front of him, and his appetite suddenly increased. Whatever, I don't know what the action will be at night, so I'll fill my stomach first. Let him go if it's sunny.
"Give."
Ye Xiaoyu was lowering her head and stuffing pastries into her mouth. Hear movement overhead. subconsciously looked up, but saw that Qing Lang was looking at her condescendingly, and he was still holding a pair of women's cotton shoes in his hand?
"Put it on."
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu raising his head and not answering. Sunny and open, the voice was a little quieter than before.
"For me?"
Ye Xiaoyu, who came back to her senses, hurriedly wiped her mouth with her hand and reached out to take the cotton shoes.
In the hand, the quality of the cotton shoes is not bad, and they are quite thick to the touch, but the style is a little old-fashioned.
"You just went to buy this?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Ye Xiaoyu looked incredulous.
"Your shoes are completely torn, I'm afraid it will affect your night movements."
Sunny sat down opposite, still indifferent, as if he was stating something that was taken for granted.
Although the starting point of the sunny day is to act at night, Ye Xiaoyu doesn't care so much, she is worried that there are no shoes to change, since there are free shoes to be delivered to the door now, don't wear white. Thinking like this, he quickly put on new shoes, and as soon as he put them on, he found that the size was just right.
"Look, it's a good fit."
Stretching his feet, Ye Xiaoyu glanced at Qinglang and said.
On the other side, Qing Lang took a sip of the tea that had become cold on the table, looked noncommittal, and did not speak again.
"Gone."
Anyway, Qinglang also went to buy a pair of shoes for her, although according to him, it was just to prevent Ye Xiaoyu from dragging her feet at night, but Ye Xiaoyu is not a person who does not know how to be grateful, and when she was thinking about saying something to thank him, the person opposite had already begun to urge her to leave.
"Didn't you mean night?"
Ye Xiaoyu remembered that in the morning, the time that Qing Lang said was obviously evening, but now it is only evening, which is slightly earlier than the scheduled time.
"Temporary changes."
The crowd that passed through the lobby of the teahouse, and when they crowded to the door, Qing Lang said lightly.
Okay, anyway, the plan is clear, Ye Xiaoyu is just an executor, if you want to change it, change it, right? In fact, if you want to be rough, with the strength of a weak chicken like her Ye Xiaoyu, it will indeed be a little delayed.
The horse was already at the door, and when he got on it, he ran forward.
It was okay at first, but the more she ran forward, the more Ye Xiaoyu felt that something was wrong. But when I think about it, the salt trade between private individuals is underground, and it is normal for the location to be a little off. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and there are fewer and fewer houses around, and this road seems to be the rhythm of going out of the downtown area. Moreover, Ye Xiaoyu always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Isn't this the North District?"
After running fast on some barren roads for half an hour, Ye Xiaoyu saw rows of houses appear in front of her, and with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, she suddenly realized, isn't this the North District they rented this morning?
"That trading location is in the North End??"
Ye Xiaoyu asked again.
If I had known that it was in the North District, I would have come back here directly after buying a wig and beard in the afternoon, which would have saved money from the teahouse and could rest in bed for a while.
Sunny did not answer, and continued to let the horses run on the road, but the speed tended to slow down compared to before.
It didn't take long for Ye Xiaoyu to see the yard they rented.
As expected, Sunny grabbed the reins in front of the yard they had rented this morning, and the horse stopped.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qinglang's gourd, he guessed that he might go back to the house to get some things or change clothes, so he didn't ask much, opened the door, and entered the courtyard with Qinglang.
The sun is shining today, so I put down the quilts and sheets that are drying in the yard. A scent of the sun comes to your face. This smell made Ye Xiaoyu a little sleepy, and she especially wanted to sleep on it. Thinking that I don't know when I will be able to return here tonight, I can't help but feel a little lost.
"It's still early, you go back to the house and rest first."
Together with Ye Xiaoyu, he took back the quilt from the yard, and Qinglang turned his head and said.
The fresh smell of sunlight constantly stimulated Ye Xiaoyu's nerves, and she simply buried her head in the quilt.
"Do I need to put on makeup, change clothes, or anything like that?"
The quilt in his arms covered most of Ye Xiaoyu's whole person, and he heard Qinglang speak. Ye Xiaoyu tilted her head. Half of his face peeks out from the side of the quilt.
She really wanted to go back to the house and lie down for a while, but when Ye Xiaoyu thought of the road that was still in the prison now, she felt very guilty about sleeping now.
"No, you don't."
Sunny is always concise.
"Then, I'll go back and rest first. You'll call me again when you're leaving......"
Ye Xiaoyu believes that Qinglang has already made all the plans. Since he said no. The time that was vacated in the middle was still used to rest. Only have a good rest and nourish your spirits. The evening will not drag the sunny hind legs.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt reasonable, Ye Xiaoyu said goodbye to Qinglang, and quickly went back to the house to make the bed and sleep well.
After several days of rushing and running, coupled with yesterday's late sleep, Ye Xiaoyu fell asleep in an instant as soon as she got into bed, and before she had time to think about anything.
The spring in Rongzhou City in the south came much earlier than that of Quanxiu Village.
The warm climate, abundant sunlight, and just the right amount of rain make the small flower beds in front of and behind the houses in the streets and alleys decorated with small flowers of various colors.
Walking along the central street of the downtown area, you will not be far away to see a peach grove full of peach blossoms in early spring, pink and pure white, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.
Ye Xiaoyu was standing in this peach orchard at this time, her eyes fell on a cluster of peach blossoms, and after staring at it for a long time, she finally couldn't help but put her face forward and sniff it gently.
The sun was shining, like a Saturday afternoon.
Ye Xiaoyu remembered that she seemed to have just come back from working overtime in the company, and when she passed by this road, she accidentally discovered this peach orchard. It was inexplicably familiar, but she had never realized that there was such a place before.
There are a lot of tourists around, but this does not prevent Ye Xiaoyu from enjoying this beautiful scenery.
Thinking that she would have to deal with her mother who kept arranging her blind date when she went back at night, Ye Xiaoyu had a headache. Shaking her head, she temporarily cleared the long-winded image of the mother from her mind, and she began to concentrate on immersing herself in this beautiful scenery.
"Oh no, someone fell into the water in front of me......"
The crowd began to stir, and they all ran towards one place.
The peach orchard, which was originally quiet and sunny and sunny, suddenly became a little gloomy.
Ye Xiaoyu also began to run in the direction of the crowd. She didn't remember that there was a river in front of her, or even what it was, but since someone had an accident, it was always helpful to have someone more. Although she herself is afraid of water, she is afraid of death.
"Alas, it's so pitiful, it's so young that you don't have ......"
"How handsome this kid is......"
"When his parents found out, they didn't know what they would be sad about. ……”
……
When Ye Xiaoyu rushed to the river panting, he found that the ambulance had stopped there, and the crowd of onlookers who had just run to watch had gradually dispersed, and only some regrets were still in the air.
Slowly approaching, Ye Xiaoyu saw a boy lying on the tender green grass, very young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. Only the unusually pale face and stiff hands and feet tell that the person in front of him has left this world prematurely.
The person in front of him was very familiar, but Ye Xiaoyu couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Are you his family?"
When the medical staff saw Ye Xiaoyu standing there stunned, they came over and asked.
They were going to transport the boy to the hospital, issue a notice, and wait for the family to claim it.
"Oh, no."
Subconsciously took a few steps back, and Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly replied.
After discovering that Ye Xiaoyu was not a member of the boy's family, the medical staff stopped talking, and several people carried the stretcher with the boy to the ambulance.
"Excuse me, what's his name?"
At the moment when the paramedics closed the ambulance door, Ye Xiaoyu ran forward and asked.
"He has his student ID on him, and it seems to be called - Sunny." (To be continued......)
