How hot is dog days? Approximately, the asphalt road was softened by the sun, giving off a pungent smell; The heat wave in the air can be seen, and stray dogs are enjoying the shade in the eaves and trees, and their tongues are sticking out; People who are comfortable indoors will not feel noisy, because it is too hot to scream even if they know it.

But in such a torturous weather, there are still people who are pacing unhurriedly to the outskirts of the city when they could have enjoyed the air-conditioned ice cream comfortably. Occasionally, a car drove by him,

A car owner stopped not far from him, lowered the window and asked, "Where are you going, young man?" If you stop by the way, I will give you a ride and I will not charge you money. ”

The man just shook his head, smiled, and said softly, "No need uncle, I'm just going out for a walk, thank you, uncle." ”

The owner of the car answered, raised the window and drove away, muttering to the person in the passenger seat: "It's a good-looking young man, but it's a pity that his brain is not very good." ”

The young man who was not very good at his brain took out a Bluetooth headset and stuffed it into his left ear, pressed it with his hand, and then put his hand in his pocket and continued to walk forward.

Qi Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the barren scenery around him. There's a cool breeze with a bit of moisture in front of you, and everything is very comfortable - if you ignore the chatter in the headphones.

"No, Uncle Qi, you tell me, on such a hot day, what are you trying to do when you go out to find inspiration? I've been standing in front of your house for a long time, and if you don't come back within twenty minutes to take me in, our twenty-year friendship will come to an end! ”

A certain second person indignantly accused Qi Qiu, it is definitely true love to be able to go out in this weather to see his friends, but unfortunately this feeling is destined to be borne by him alone, because the person on the other end of the radio wave did not give him any reply or hint that he was about to go home, but just listened silently, his eyes still scanning the desolation around him.

There is a river near here, flowing through this rarely visited place, and there is a reservoir upstream, so there is no one at this point except for the man who just sank into the water, and there is not even Aun Abel who has come to fish.

"Shut up."

Qi Qiu spoke a little fast, pulled off the earphones, and rushed to the downstream of the river, the river in this season is not urgent, but he is afraid that if he is a little late, the little girl in the water will be completely helpless.

Huo Bai is very strange, he can actually meet the second child of the Qi family when he is in a hurry, is this a volcanic eruption or a meteorite hitting the earth? You must know that this guy has been a gentle and elegant person since he was a child, and the elders have joked about it, even if the sky falls, you can't see this guy panicked.

But after Huo Baisi thought about it, he couldn't figure out why Qi Qiu was in such a hurry, and he suddenly remembered that he had been waiting for him at the door of Qi Qiu's house for more than an hour under the big sun.

……

Here, Qi Qiu sat on a stone on the bank of the river, watching the little girl in black in front of him wake up after coughing up a few mouthfuls of water, staring at him without blinking. I don't know why, Qi Qiu came from there

In the godless eyes, it seems that I don't see the kind of happiness and gratitude for the rest of my life after the catastrophe, but it seems to be, condemn?

Qi Qiu asked softly in his unique gentle voice, "Can you hear me?" ”

The little girl was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.

"How are you feeling right now?"

Nodding expressionlessly.

"Do you have family?"

Nodding expressionlessly.

Qi Qiu felt that this little girl might have a language barrier.

"Can you speak?"

This time, the little girl finally stopped being expressionless, but stared at Qi Qiu with an extremely complicated look in the eyes of the mentally retarded, I don't know if it was her own delusion, Qi Qiu seemed to be still in her eyes, seeing sympathy?

What was even more unexpected was that the little girl sat up and probed Qi Qiu's forehead with her cold hand, and after finding that the temperature was normal, the sympathy in her eyes was even greater.

Qi Qiu was stunned, did this girl misunderstand something?

"You, don't be afraid."

She doesn't seem to speak very often, and speaks slowly. The voice was a slightly hoarse sweetness, and it sounded comfortable, like the comfort of running your hand across the sand.

The girl in front of her patted Qi Qiu's shoulder with some effort, still with that strange sympathetic look, but this time she also brought some sympathy.

"I'm sick too." The little girl pointed to herself, her expression a little gloomy. "Mine, it can't be cured. You, it's going to be fine. ”

When she said the first words, her eyes were as empty as they had been when she had just woken up. In the latter sentence, the voice was very soft, and there was some comfort in the tone.

Although Qi Qiu was a little happy that she finally spoke, she didn't want her to misunderstand that she was sick, so she hurriedly explained: "I'm not sick, I just asked about your situation." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Qiu regretted it. It was okay that he didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, the little girl seemed to draw him out of her own world again, and the light in her eyes dimmed again.

"Where is your home, shall I send you home?" Qi Qiu spoke tentatively, he had no hope that this girl would answer him.

Unexpectedly, after a few seconds of reflection, the little girl stood up. Her movements were as slow as she spoke, and Qi Qiu felt that she was very thin when he fished her up just now

also silently added a clause in his heart: she is very white.

This girl is the kind of pale who has not seen the sun for a long time, and the July sun seems to have nothing to do with her. If the other fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls exude the most vigorous vitality, the person in front of them is the other extreme, and there is only depression all over them, and it hurts in people's hearts for a while.

She took two steps in the direction where Qi Qiu came, looked back at him, and continued to walk, Qi Qiu sat for too long, suddenly got up, her eyes were dark for a few seconds, and she stumbled. To his surprise, the little girl who had already walked two or three meters ran two steps to his side and helped herself, although she almost stopped as soon as she touched her arm, Qi Qiu was still a little inexplicably moved.

"I'm fine."

Qi Qiu signaled that the little girl was fine, and then she turned around and continued to walk back.

"Little girl, my name is Qi Qiu, what's your name?"

"Song Qing."

"Little girl. How old are you? ”

"Fifteen."

Qi Qiu was a little surprised, this little girl didn't look very serious, he thought that she was fourteen at most, but he didn't expect that she was still one year old.

"Little girl, do you feel uncomfortable wearing wet clothes?" Qi Qiu really couldn't think of any topic, so he had to risk being treated as a mentally retarded child and asked this obvious question.

It's summer, but it's still not nice to be wrapped in wet clothes. Moreover, this little girl is in an important stage of physical development, even if she is very thin, her wet clothes still outline some curves, so Qi Qiu can only try not to squint.

Song Qing, who was walking on his right side, didn't look at him this time, and only lightly spit out one word: "No." ”

Just as the aura of embarrassment gradually rendered between the two, Song Qing actually took the initiative to speak: "Don't call me, little girl." ”

She said this faster than before, and Qi Qiu could still hear such a dissatisfaction from her unwavering voice.

"Why?" Qi Qiu's voice had a smile in it, and he had the intention to make fun of Song Qing.

"Not small."

"But you're younger than me."

"How much?" Song Qing was asking him how old he was.

"I'm four years older than you." Qi Qiu stretched out four fingers and compared them in front of Song Qing's eyes.

"That's right, no!" Song Qing suddenly regretted that he hadn't exercised his language skills for too long, and even said that his refusal was so lethal.

"Anyway, I saved your life, aren't you going to repay me?" Qi Qiu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You want me, what, repay?" Song Qing frowned, he didn't blame him for being nosy, this person still thought he wanted to be rescued?

"Make a promise."

"You are, take advantage of the fire." Song Qing's brows furrowed - how could this person be like this!

Seeing that he had made this girl anxious, Qi Qiu had no waves in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

"You laugh, what?" Song Qing was more than twenty centimeters shorter than Qi Qiu. The top of his head reached his chin, and his face finally had some complexion because of anger. He didn't look fierce when he stared at people, but from Qi Qiu's point of view, he looked like the little milk cat in Huo Bai's house when he lost his temper at people.

"Laugh at your cuteness." Qi Qiu didn't think about it and said it for granted.

Song Qing was stunned, he was glaring at him, shouldn't this person's reaction be to be frightened and then keep silent? What is the operation of "laughing at you cute"?

As everyone knows, his sluggish appearance has aroused the pleasure of the evil taste, brain circuit Qingqi, and strange person next to him.

"Little girl, don't stare at people in the future." Qi Qiu smiled and bent his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and rubbed Song Qing's half-dried hair.

Well, it's soft.

Song Qing decided not to pay attention to him anymore and continued to walk without squinting, but the blush on her face betrayed her not calm mood at the moment.

Next, although he was silent all the way, Qi Qiu didn't feel any discomfort, until after seeing the familiar community in front of him, he glanced sideways at the little girl beside him and raised his eyebrows: "Where do you live?" ”

"Hmm." Song Qing answered, his footsteps did not stop, Qi Qiu followed her past the door of his house without squinting, pretending not to see the "stranger" who was sheltered by the pitiful shade under the small tree on the side of the road.

Huo Bai watched as the negative man who had been waiting since two hours ago followed behind a little girl with unhurried steps, and when he passed by, he didn't even reward a single afterglow, finally

Stopped at the door of the house next door.

By the time he could react, the girl had already pressed the code and was ready to open the door. So Huo Bai ignored the sacred sign of "Do not step on the lawn" that he had seen since he was a child. Directly passing through the lawn between the two houses, he rushed to Qi Qiu, grabbed his shoulder and yelled: "You negative person, do you know how long I have been waiting for you, our relationship for many years has been lost to your lustful intention and red apricot out of the wall!" ”

The terrifying thing happened, Qi Qiu didn't push him away with disgust as usual and then said words such as "never before" and "when I don't know when it happened", but explained to the little girl who looked at them expressionlessly with a look of grievance: "I'm not, he talks nonsense, I don't." ”

What's more, this guy broke his hand "very hard" with a force that seemed small and could actually crush his bones, and almost wrote "I'm so weak" directly on his face!

Qi Qiu nodded Huo Bai's head and said to Song Qing: "He has a bad brain, and he has a bit of a nervous system. ”

Uncle Qi, don't you realize that your noble hands are about to pierce my temples?

Then Qi Qiu was very satisfied to see that Song Qing looked at this bear thing that delayed him from entering the little girl's house with the kind of mentally retarded gaze he had received.

But after three seconds, Qi Qiu was not happy, it was too long!

So he sneezed at Huo Bai very distractedly, and shivered very realistically.

"Ahh

In Song Qing's cognition, the mentally retarded person who doesn't know = physical health is not a big deal = worthy of sympathy but not so important, Qi Qiu sneezed = caught a cold because he went into the water to fish for himself = although it was nosy, it needed to be taken seriously, so she opened the door as a matter of course and took Qi Qiu's wrist and entered the house.

Huo Bai saw that he was about to be devastated by the hot sun outside, and hurriedly spoke when Song Qing stepped into the house with one foot: "Hey, what about me?" ”

"Enter." Song Qing threw down a word without looking back.

Hearing this, Qi Qiu turned his head and gave Huo Bai a warning look, then lowered his head again, and tried his best to play the role of his patient.

After entering the house, Qi • well-behaved and weak • Qiu An sat quietly on the sofa, and sneeze at Huo Bai from time to time. Song Qing touched his forehead again, with a worried expression: "You, are you uncomfortable?" Body temperature, as if it were, normal. ”

"Ah, that's how it was when I had a cold, and my body temperature was about the same as usual." Qi Qiu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, Huo Bai wanted to ask Song Qing, who have you ever seen who does not have a runny nose and does not feel dizzy when he has a cold?

But he recalled Qi Qiu's eyes before entering the door, and held back the words that had come to his lips, and asked Qi Qiu wittily: "Did you two fall into the mud pit?" ”

"No," Qi Qiu glanced at Song Qing quietly, and saw that she was rummaging through a family-style medicine box for cold medicine without any response, before continuing, "I'm a hero to save beauty." ”

Song Qing noticed the mud on himself and Qi Qiu's bodies with hindsight, and then remembered that he should take a bath and change clothes. She roughly estimated Qi Qiu's height and felt a little troublesome - she was only one meter

Sixth, her clothes, Qi Qiu definitely can't wear them, her younger brother is taller than herself, but she is still about ten centimeters shorter than Qi Qiu, and his clothes Qi Qiu is estimated to be uncomfortable to wear, it's really difficult......

Song Qing suddenly remembered that the man who seemed to be quite familiar with Qi Qiu had just run over from next door, but he didn't know if he could understand his words? Speaking of which, Qi Qiu seems to be able to communicate with him, anyway, it's the clothes he wants to wear, so let him ask by himself!

Song Qing, who came up with a solution, felt that even the mud on his body was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Song Qing handed the cold medicine in his hand to Qi Qiu, poured him another glass of water, and persuaded him to take the medicine with an expressionless face: "Eat." ”

Qi Qiu looked at the two capsules in his palm, and regretted that he had dug such a pit for himself.

"Poof!" Huo Bai on the side didn't hold back and laughed out loud. You must know that Qi Qiu has been growing up, and what he hates most is taking medicine and injections. Even if the fever reaches 39 degrees, he will use the last remaining willpower before the coma to throw away the medicine, not to mention that his current illness is faked!

Qi Qiu swept Huo Bai, who was smiling forward and backwards, without a trace, and wrote clearly on his face, "If you don't help me today, I will definitely get it back in the future."

Huo Bai's expression froze, and he suddenly felt that his neck was cold......

So he sat down and decided to help his family make this lie: "He, he doesn't take medicine for a cold since he was a child, and he has a fever when he eats!" ”

Qi Qiu: Thank you!

Song Qing turned to Huo Bai expressionlessly: "You are stupid, am I stupid?" ”

Huo Bai knew that his IQ might indeed be so bad as Qi Qiu's, but he had been in contact with a lot of people and cases like Song Qing when he was in school, so he knew that Song Qing's sentence should be according to the normal version: Are you stupid or are you stupid to me?
