She could see that Brother Qi Yao was wearing very little, and his ears and lips were frozen purple, but he was so strong, even if he bled blood, he wouldn't say a word more.

"Xiaoru, you are obedient, take the scarf back and wrap it yourself, if you are sick, I don't know how to explain it to your parents." The boy forcibly took the scarf off his neck, but was pressed back by the little girl, "No need to explain!" ”

The young man's heart swelled with unspeakable heat, and he stretched out his hand to take the little girl into his arms, and at this moment he realized that in fact, the world was not as bad as he imagined.

At least in the darkness there was her little sun shining on him.

She is really warm, and he is attached to it and is unwilling to let go.

How nice it would be if she were always his.

Wouldn't that be when he wouldn't be alone anymore?

But the boy thought bitterly of his stump leg, and not so long ago he had been forced to accept her protection, and if she was in danger, he would not even be able to save her.

How could such a self be qualified to have her?

The young man's heart was full of holes and pain, the little girl raised her head in his arms and shouted softly, "Brother Qi Yao......"

"Huh?" He looked down at her.

"Can you promise me one thing?"

The young man looked at the little girl's dark and bright eyes quietly, "You say." ”

"If you go to country M to cure your leg, no matter whether you can cure it well or not, you don't want to hurt yourself again, okay?"

The little girl spoke to him earnestly, her eyes full of supplication.

She was really afraid that Brother Qi Yao would do something to hurt herself in a place where she couldn't see.

Because of that time in the hospital, she had nightmares for several nights, and she was always afraid that the dream would become a reality.

If the world in the future couldn't see Brother Qi Yao, she couldn't imagine what kind of sadness it would be.

The boy turned his face away and did not give a positive answer.

Xiao Ru pursed her mouth, "If you don't agree and hurt yourself like last time, I will never forgive you." ”

He held her tightly in his arms, buried his face in her neck, and sniffed the smell of her girlish milk, her smell had a magical soothing effect on him, and his whole manic heart was also soothed.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "I promise you, I promise you whatever you say......"

Finally got a word from Brother Qi Yao, Xiao Ru smiled a flower on her face, and she patted him on the back comfortingly, "Brother Qi Yao, you have to be strong, hard or not, think about the Long March 25,000, everything will be fine." ”

Then, the little girl began to popularize the celebrities of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign hardships to the teenagers, and talked about how they survived tenaciously in the face of adversity and forged ahead.

First of all, let's start with the Beethoven Lao Bei she is most familiar with......

An hour passed, two hours passed, and she said that her mouth was dry, and she ate an orange to get better.

It's so hard to do ideological work.

Xiaoru didn't forget to ask the young man, "Brother Qi Yao, I said so much, have you been inspired?" ”

The young man touched his nose and still let out a "hmm" from his throat, and Xiao Ru nodded with satisfaction.

Lao Wu parked the car in the county, first took Qi Yao and Xiaoru to a noodle restaurant to eat hot noodle soup, and then he went to fill up the tractor with diesel.

Xiaoru ate a bowl of hot noodle soup, and instantly felt that she had come to life, and her whole body was hot, but when she looked at the young man again, she ate very little, almost nothing.

He has eaten almost nothing since he set out from the provincial capital.

Xiao Ru looked at the very thin young man, and her heart hurt, "Brother Qi Yao, you can eat a little......"

"I'm not hungry."

Xiao Ru took out the roasted sweet potatoes that were still hot from her bag, "You eat this, it's okay to eat half of it." ”

The boy hesitantly took it, and took some small bites.

Lao Wu came to pick them up and take them back to the village, Qi Yao said, "I don't want to go to the village." ”

Lao Wu was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Qi Yao pursed his lips and didn't speak, which made Lao Wu even more confused.

Xiaoru knew the sensitive heart of the young man.

He is such a proud and strong person, and now he is not good at acting, almost all his arrogance has been shattered, and he can't stand the sympathy and pity of others, and the people in the village are too talkative, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of discussion and strange eyes, and he is definitely unwilling to go back.

As the spokesperson of the teenager, Xiao Ru carefully maintained his self-esteem and said: "Fifth uncle, Brother Qi Yao just doesn't want everyone to worry, otherwise let's find a place in the county seat to stay for one night!" ”

"If you don't go back to the village, then what are you doing in the countryside?" The fifth child was puzzled.

Xiaoru looked at the silent young man and replied for him: "I just want to come and see Aunt Yu to see if she is doing well?" ”

Lao Wu: "Then let's go to Qi Yao's mother's ......"

"Don't!" Qi Yao refused without thinking about it.

This made the fifth child even more puzzling, "Qi Yao, what do you think?" ”

The young man lowered his head, the entanglement in his heart was complicated, and he couldn't tell clearly.

Xiaoru looked at the young man, although he didn't want to say anything, but she just understood what he was thinking.

Brother Qi Yao wanted to make sure that Aunt Yu was doing well, but he didn't want Aunt Yu to know about his leg injury.

He always hopes that Aunt Yu will live happily without burden.

So Xiaoru said to the fifth child: "Fifth uncle, we are already so tired today, we want to find a place to rest quietly, and we will go to see Aunt Yu tomorrow." ”

Lao Wu was silent for a while, he really couldn't resist them, but he didn't worry about letting them stay in the county, so he discussed taking them back to the town first and going to his unit for one night.

Qi Yao and Xiao Ru have no opinion.

When they returned to the town, it was already dark and sunken, and the fifth child took them to the unit, where there was a dormitory and two marching beds, which were used by the people on duty to rest.

The quilt has two beds, usually covered by men, and the fifth child didn't want to wronged Xiaoru, so he went to an acquaintance in the town to borrow a quilt.

Xiao Ru ran out and secretly talked to him, and the fifth child nodded understandingly, "I'll borrow it." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Five."

When the old man left, Xiaoru went to fill the kettle with tap water, and Qi Yao took the tongs to make a fire on the charcoal stove.

There are some daily necessities here, which shows that it is common for people who usually watch shifts to drink and cook food here.

When Xiaoru came over with a kettle, there was already a fire on the charcoal stove.

Put the kettle on the charcoal stove and boil it, Xiao Ru then went to clean up the marching bed, moved the futon out and beat it, patted it, and then moved in again and laid it, "Brother Qi Yao, you will just have one night, and we will be able to go home after seeing Aunt Yu!" ”

The little girl's voice sounded very weak, and a little hoarse, because of the cold, she sneezed from time to time, Qi Yao felt very uncomfortable, "Xiaoru, you go back with your fifth uncle tonight, the house is warmer, I can be here alone." ”

Xiao Ru shook her head resolutely, "No." ”

"You're going to get sick if you're a girl working so hard."

"I'm in good health, so I won't get sick." As soon as Xiao Ru finished speaking, she couldn't help but sneeze again.

This kind of operation of slapping herself in the face really made the little girl unable to get off the stage.

Qi Yao felt pain in his heart, hating his cripple and powerlessness.

He beat his leg angrily, Xiao Ru's face turned white with fright, and he rushed up to stop him, "Don't Brother Qi Yao ......"

Qi Yao looked at the little girl with red eyes, "A waste person like me, why do you spend so much time with me to suffer?" ”

Xiaoru said: "It's not a sin, I'm experiencing life, the teacher said, only to experience it will understand the true meaning of life." ”

Qi Yao: "......"!!

The little girl's reasoning is set one by one, and she is worthy of being the daughter educated by Shen Ning.

It was already completely dark outside, and the hot water was boiling, and Lao Wu just came back with a thick quilt, followed by two enthusiastic women, who came with hot vegetable noodles.

The young woman is Aunt Li's daughter Zhou Cui'e who married into the town, and the older one is her mother-in-law Dai Liu, Xiaoru recognized Aunt Li's daughter, and obediently and skillfully shouted "Auntie, mother-in-law......

Dai Liu said: "You two children are really bold, you didn't have a parent to accompany you, fortunately there was no accident on the way, hurry over and eat something, so as not to starve." ”

Zhou Cui'e took a bowl of noodles and sent it to Xiaoru, and said distressedly: "Look at you, your hands are frozen, if your mother knows, she won't be distressed to death?" ”

Xiao Ru said softly, "I'm not cold." ”

Then he took the noodles and gave them to the boy first.

The boy deliberately touched the little girl's hand, and it was indeed very cold.

Zhou Cui'e said: "Xiaoru, since you don't go back to the village, you will sleep in a bed with my eldest girl tonight." ”

Dai Liu said: "Yes, go to my house first, talk to my brothers and sisters, your brother is here, the fifth child is taking care of it!" ”

They didn't mention taking Qi Yao back because they saw Qi Yao's leg injured, and it was not easy to get it, if they brought it back to make a good one, they were afraid that other people's parents would not be happy.

Xiao Ru politely refused: "Thank you aunt and mother-in-law for your kindness, I will sleep here tonight and not go anywhere." ”

Zhou Cui'e said: "Why are you so stubborn, you little girl with fine skin and tender meat, where can you withstand the freezing night, in case you catch a cold, your parents will come to take a look tomorrow, but we will blame us for not taking care of you!" ”

Xiaoru: "No, auntie, I want to stay here to sleep, I have grown up, and I will be responsible for my actions." ”

Dai Liu persuaded: "How can you sleep here as a girl?" It's not appropriate. ”

Lao Wu also persuaded him: "Xiaoru, you can go home and sleep with Aunt Cui'e, I will take care of Qi Yao." ”

Xiao Ru shook her head stubbornly.

Seeing that she couldn't resist her, a few adults had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Cui'e said to Xiaoru: "If you figure it out, let your fifth uncle send you to my house to sleep, it's freezing this day, don't freeze yourself and catch a cold." ”

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Xiaoru Renmei has a sweet smile, Zhou Cui'e has always liked her, "What is missing, my aunt will go back and bring it to you." ”

"No, thank you, auntie."

Dai Liu and Zhou Cui'e stayed for a while and then left first.

Lao Wu beckoned the two children to eat noodles, but the young man was silent, and the noodles were left on the side and did not move.

Lao Wudao: "Qi Yao, you can eat something, if you don't eat or drink, where can your body hold?" ”

The young man said lightly: "I have no appetite." ”

The fifth child had no problem with this young man who had always been taciturn, Xiaoru secretly pulled the fifth child outside to speak, "Fifth uncle, did I ask you to help borrow something?" ”
