The two of them talked and laughed, and soon left the village. After passing the small wooden bridge, standing next to the big stone and looking back at the Phoenix Ridge hidden in the woods, the mood is no longer the same as when I came.

When I came, I looked at Phoenix Ridge from afar, like a paradise, and felt that this was a good place to live in seclusion. But after visiting the people here, Luo Ping learned that being away from the world means being poor.

"Hey, isn't that the little girl just now, what is she doing here?"

In Liu Qi's surprise, Luo Ping also saw that the little swallow was running towards them quickly. Luo Ping hurriedly put down the snakeskin bag and travel bag in his hand and hurried to meet him.

"Big brother, big brother......" Little Swallow shouted loudly as she ran.

"Little swallow, slow down, don't fall!"

"Big brother." Xiaoyanzi suddenly slipped under her feet, and seeing that she was about to fall, Luo Ping quickened his pace and hugged her into his arms.

"Big brother, do you really have a sister who looks like me?"

Xiaoyanzi is worthy of being a child in the mountains, and he has run such a long way, but a little sweat is oozing from his forehead, and he is not panting at all.

Luo Ping smiled, what he said to Lao Wu just now is not true, there is an 8-year-old girl named Xiaofeng in the orphanage, who does look a little similar to Yanzi, but he didn't expect Xiaoyanzi to remember it in his heart, and he ran so far to ask himself for this.

"Of course, Big Brother won't lie to Little Swallow. The next time I come, bring her over and make her good friends with you. ”

"Really? Then you give this to her, it's my favorite thing, and you tell her that I'm willing to be friends with her. ”

What Little Swallow was holding in his hand happened to be the crimson chess piece.

Luo Ping was moved by the innocence and simplicity of the little girl, helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead, and said, "No, you remember the words of the big brother, this chess piece is very precious, don't give it to anyone except grandparents, you know?" ”

"No, there are a lot of these things on the mountain, and when she comes, I'll take her to dig it together."

Luo Ping's heart moved, "Is it so difficult to have a whole set of such chess pieces on the mountain?" If you can make it up, it will be very precious! ”

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaoyanzi shoved the chess pieces into his hand, shouted to his big brother zaijian, turned around and ran back quickly.

"Xiao Luo, let's go, it's cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to rain." Liu Qi urged loudly on the hillside.

Luo Ping turned around and answered, and waited until Xiaoyanzi ran into the village before turning around and walking towards Liu Qi, and the chess piece had been quietly put into his trouser pocket.

"Smack!"

The two of them hurried towards the place where they had parked, and from time to time a thunderclap sounded overhead, seeing that a rainstorm was about to fall.

But this muddy road of less than two miles is extremely muddy, and the more anxious he is, the more he can't walk faster, if it weren't for Luo Ping's support, Liu Qi almost fell into the mud several times.

"Ouch!"

Liu Qi suddenly screamed, and his body was about to fall down. Luo Ping hurriedly supported him and hurriedly asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"My foot is broken." Liu Qi's face was covered with beads of sweat, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very painful.

"So what to do, can you hold on a bit? We'll be there soon! The thunder roared, and Luo Ping said loudly.

At this time, a drop of rain the size of a bean smashed down fiercely, hitting the face and causing great pain.

Luo Ping looked left and right, the place they were in happened to be a low-lying place, with high dirt slopes on both sides, and there was no shelter from the rain, and Liu Qi's Highlander was parked about five or six hundred meters away from them.

There were umbrellas in the car, but the summer rain came urgently, and they didn't expect it to rain today, so they didn't take it down at all. This rain will fall, and the two of them will definitely be soaked, but he doesn't care, Liu Qi is over sixty years old, and if it rains, there is a chance that he will get sick.

Luo Ping suddenly squatted down and shouted loudly, "Old Liu, hurry up and lie on my back, and I'll carry you over." Quick, if you don't leave, it's going to rain heavily. ”

At Luo Ping's urging, Liu Qi lay on Luo Ping's back. Luo Ping gritted his teeth and stood up, sliding step by step, but walked towards Highlander with great determination.

"Xiao Luo, Xiexie you!"

Liu Qi has lived a rich life over the years, and his weight is seriously overweight, with more than 150 pounds. Therefore, he knew Luo Ping's hard work, and he was quite moved in his heart.

Sweat mixed with rain, kept dripping down Luo Ping's face, his feet were already very difficult to step on in the mud, and now he was still carrying Liu Qi on his back, Luo Ping was completely relying on perseverance at this moment. Therefore, he didn't dare to open his mouth to speak at all, gritted his teeth, and walked forward step by step.

If someone looks down from above, Luo Ping is carrying Liu Qi's figure on his back, like a snail carrying a load, slowly crawling on the road, leaving a long list of imprints......

Fortunately, until Luo Ping came to Highlander with Liu Qi on his back, the heavy rain kept dropping a few drops of rain from time to time. When they all got into the car and closed the door, the pouring rain flooded the entire field of vision in the blink of an eye, and the ground was white.

Luo Ping panted like a cow, lying on the seat and watching the rain fall on the car window, with a happy smile on his face......

The rain rained for an hour and a half.

The rain subsided, Liu Qi turned on the windshield wipers and scraped off the mist on the car window, but the scene in front of him made him completely sluggish.

I saw that the section of road they had just walked had been completely flooded by the rain, and at least half a person's depth of stagnant water made him shiver.

"Fortunately, there is Luo Ping!"

Luo Ping jumped out of the car and checked the surroundings, but fortunately Liu Qi parked the Highlander on the hillside, otherwise, they would have been soaked in the water by now.

Subsequently, under the command of Luo Ping, Liu Qi, who was injured in his left foot, slowly turned the car around, slowly and leisurely left this dirt road, and not long after, he got on the highway.

It wasn't until he got on the highway that Liu Qi completely relieved his heart, took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, and said with a smile: "Xiao Luo, I owe you today, if I come alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back." ”

"It's not a big deal, Old Liu, you've said it hundreds of times along the way."

The two of them got up, Liu Qi suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, when I go back, I'll let Lao Ma take a look at your broken porcelain pieces, he is a master of repairing porcelain, maybe he can make up for it." ”

"Is it," Luo Ping said in surprise, "Ma Lao still has this skill?" ”

"His jishu is one of the best in our Jiangcheng, you have seen my two baby bowls, it is he who makes up for haode. However, he has a little problem with his hands over the years, and he is not easy to do it, but it doesn't matter, the apprentices he accepted are not bad, and I will let him see it when I go back. ”

Highlander galloped all the way, and after more than an hour, Liu Qi and Luo Ping returned to Pincixuan.

After tidying up, Liu Qi changed into clean clothes and took a sip of hot tea on the recliner.

"It's still comfortable at home! Xiaoguang, do you know, fortunately there is Xiao Luo here today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back today! ”

Li Xiaoguang was taken aback and hurriedly asked what happened on the road. After understanding the situation, he said to Luo Ping with a grateful face, "Xiao Luo, xiexie!" It was all my carelessness and I didn't pay attention to the weather forecast. ”

Li Xiaoguang is not tall, but he is good-looking, and when he said this, he was extremely sincere.

"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter, I feel embarrassed when you keep saying it like this!"

After Luo Ping finished speaking, he said to Liu Qi again, "Old Liu, I borrowed the money from you today, and I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible!" ”

"You kid, why do you keep mentioning this!" Liu Qi looked angry, "If it weren't for you and me today, I wouldn't even have my life, a little money is nothing." Besides, giving this money to them is also a good deed and accumulation of virtue, my old man also wants to do some good deeds and accumulate more merits, and you won't even give me this opportunity? ”

Seeing him say this, Luo Ping didn't say much, he was still thinking about the chess piece in his pocket, and after sitting in the store for a while, he took the car back.
