On the weekend, Shen Ran set off with the address that Qin Jun had written to her about Zhong Min. Qin Jun told her that if she wanted to go from the town to the village, she had to go to a place at the head of the stone bridge to take a tricycle, otherwise a girl would have to walk on a mountain road, which was very unsafe. Qin Jun originally wanted to kindly send Shen Ran to the village, but this was originally Shen Ran's private matter, and he was really embarrassed to trouble him all the time, so Shen Ran decided to set off to find Zhong Min alone.

"Big brother, where is Chenjia Village going?" Shen Ran walked towards a little brother squatting on the side of the road and smoking.

"Let's go." The little brother looked Shen Ran up and down, then took a hard puff of the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, followed the cigarette butt that was still smoking with one foot until it was extinguished, and then walked towards a tricycle, took two steps and suddenly turned back: "What, can't you go?" That's all I can do today. ”

The first time Shen Ran saw a tricycle, the rectangular carriage behind it was already crowded with people and goods bought at the market, she was seriously suspicious of the safety of this car, and she was also worried about how she could squeeze in. Finally, she noticed that there was a board folded next to the little brother, which should also be able to sit, so she ran to the front, pointed to the folded board and asked, "Big brother, can I sit here?" ”

As expected, the little brother opened the folded plank, supported by a tripod, although Shen Ran was a liberal arts student, but she still had the common sense that the triangle had stability, so she sat down with confidence, holding the backpack on her knees with one hand, and grasping the handle on the car door with one hand.

The tricycle swayed all the way on the bumpy yellow mud road, and Shen Ran's head was a little dizzy, a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. She heard the uncles and aunts in the back carriage talking about whose family had married a new daughter-in-law, and how good the harvest was this year.

The mountains are empty, the trees are forested, and the entire road is shaded, so you can feel cool even when you sit in the car, which is the charm of nature, which makes people feel comfortable and refreshed. Although the tricycle is shaky, it can be regarded as stable, Shen Ran finally admitted that it is safe, slowly, Shen Ran can already vaguely see some houses, on both sides of the road are rice fields and land, you can see a couple plowing in the field as a companion.

"Little brother, is it almost there?"

"You're from out of town." The little brother glanced at Shen Ran, and then continued to look ahead, "Who are you looking for in Chenjia Village?" ”

Shen Ran was about to ask him, the sound of the engine was a little loud, she tried to raise her voice and said, "I have an aunt who lives here, I came to play with her for a few days, her name is Zhong Min, do you know her?" ”

"You said Mr. Zhong, of course I know."

"Teacher Zhong?" Shen Ran whispered to herself, is Mother An a teacher? Mom didn't mention it to her, could it be that she found the wrong person? Suddenly, I felt that my hope was shattered in an instant.

"What do you say? Be louder. The little brother shouted, leaning his ear closer to Shen Ran's direction.

"It's fine."

The tricycle slowly stopped on a very wide flat ground, and the people in the back compartment of the car got out of the car one after another, and then walked to the front to pay the little brother, Shen Ran looked at a few and understood how much money to give as the fare, so he took out his wallet from his backpack and took out the money and handed it to the little brother, and then prepared to open the car door and get off.

"Wait a minute." The little brother took an uncle's money and put it into a canvas pocket in front of the car, which should contain the fruits of the day's labor, and a few notes of ten yuan and five yuan leaked out.

"Huh?" Could it be that his fare is less, Shen Ran looked at the little brother with some doubts.

"Teacher An's house lives near my house on the same road, this is my last trip, anyway, I want to go home, and you will be a little farther away by the way."

If it was in City C, she would have to be more attentive when she met such a "warm-hearted" person, but she felt that this little brother was not like a bad person, she believed in her instincts, so the hand that opened the door slowly let go.

Within a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a blue-tiled house, and after the little brother parked the car, he pointed to a blue-tiled house: "It's here, get out of the car!" ”
