Chapter 15: The Ghost Gate (I)

The bus was crowded and stuffy, and the "bunks" were already full of people. Li Hansheng hugged the bag to his chest, glad that Lin Zi did not follow. Xiao Kuo glared at the driver, knowing that this dog had deceived himself, and said that there was a "bunk" but only the engine cover could barely squeeze two butts in. Seeing that the driver didn't glance at him, he endured his anger, knowing that there was no point in arguing at this time, only to grab the "bunk" when someone got out of the car. Pulled Li Hansheng and forcibly sat on the lid, and the person next to him turned his head and wanted to scold, but when he saw Xiao Kuotong's red eyes, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile, turned his head to the other side and pretended to look left and right.

"Phew! Cowardice! Xiao Kuo spat in his heart, and somewhat calculated a little anger.

"Hansheng, bear with me, when someone gets off the bus halfway, we will go to grab the "bunk", and it will be much more comfortable at that time. Xiao Kuo felt a little guilty, feeling that he had failed Lin Fuying's entrustment, and his sister and brother-in-law had also told him, and now he actually let Hansheng sit on the engine cover. This place will be very hot if he sits for a long time, and he has sat there several times by himself, no problem, but he is worried that Li Hansheng will not be able to stand it when he arrives.

"It's okay uncle, it's good to have a seat, I sometimes stand on the shuttle bus at home." Li Hansheng replied in a low voice, a little silent. He was still thinking about Long Yao's last sentence, he had read almost all the reading materials he could borrow in the village, and he only felt that he had gained a lot, and he never felt lost. But Boss Long has always been very serious when he speaks, how could someone as serious as him say something casually to entertain me? What does that mean exactly......

Xiao Kuo saw that Li Hansheng was silent, thinking that he was in a low mood because he was reluctant to separate, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, there will be a chance to play in the future." ”

Li Hansheng looked at Xiao Kuo in confusion, thought for a while, and nodded obediently without explaining his wise plan. "Hmm!"

......

Bumpy ride. The next morning, Li Hansheng finally arrived in the village. He carried a red schoolbag, got out of the car with the bag, and shook his head. Last night, I had a night on the hood of the engine, my butt was hot and my head was dizzy, and I couldn't sleep at all. It wasn't until dawn that someone got out of the car, managed to grab the "bunk", and slept for a while. It didn't take long to sleep, and my head was still dizzy. After taking a few breaths of sober air, Li Hansheng finally stabilized his body.

"Hansheng, can you still go? I'd better send you back. Xiao Kuo looked at him getting out of the car and staggering, a little worried.

"No need, uncle, I'm fine." Li Hansheng jumped on the spot a few times to show Xiao Kuo, "I am much more familiar with the roads in this village than you, I can walk back with my eyes closed, you can get in the car quickly." "Xiao Kuo's house will take more than ten minutes to arrive.

"Well, be careful on the road." Xiao Kuo watched Li Hansheng jumping on his ass, and got into the car with confidence.

"Goodbye, uncle!" Li Hansheng waved his hand, watched the car drag all the way to the yellow sand, picked up the bag, turned around and walked home.

Shortly after the sun came out, it cast a light on the mist-shrouded village, as if wearing a colorful gauze skirt. The rice fields that have been harvested are piled with haystacks, and the old cows and calves graze on the edge of the ridges, which is leisurely. The river is crystal clear and flows by, as if singing a song of welcome.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, Li Hansheng picked up the "yarn clothes" and returned to... Grandpa's house. After his mother also went out to work in the second grade of primary school, Li Hansheng insisted at home alone for half a year, and was finally taken to his grandfather's house to live together. Although I no longer have to eat cooked and burnt rice, and I no longer have to be alone at night to be scared, I have lost my autonomy. Grandparents seem to love their cousins and cousins more, and their attention to Li Hansheng is only to eat well, and they don't care much about other aspects such as wearing warm clothes.

"Grandparents, I'm back." Li Hansheng shouted and put the bag and schoolbag into the room.

"Oh, I'm back. There's still some leftovers here, you can eat first, we've already eaten. Grandpa sat on the bench with a long cigarette stick and smoked, and there was not much joy on his face, "Since you are back, let's go to herd cattle with your third sister in the afternoon." For the past two months, your third sister has helped you herd the cows, and you will herd the cattle tomorrow morning. ”

"As soon as Hansheng came back, you told him to herd the cattle? Old thing, it's a shame for what you said. Grandma scolded and took out the dishes left for Li Hansheng - half a bowl of fried dried vegetables, "Hansheng eats, don't pay attention to him, you will rest at home in the afternoon." I'll go to see the cattle tomorrow morning, your third sister has really worked hard to help you look at the cattle for two months. ”

"It's okay, I'll go with my cousin in the afternoon. It's been a long time since I've seen a cow, and I'm missing it. Li Hansheng gulped down his meal and swallowed his sadness. The third cousin helped me watch the cattle for two months, and it was hard? Is it my duty to watch the cow together? I've been watching cows for several years, so it's easy? “

......

Hearing that Li Hansheng was back, a bunch of people soon came to the corridor. The four or five-year-old children watched with blank eyes, and their partners greeted them warmly.

"Hansheng, you're back. I helped you herd the cow for two months, how can you thank me? Li Li's strong body squeezed in, she was three years older than Li Hansheng, her hair and skin were white, not snow-white white, but albino white, red bumps all over her body as soon as the sun broke, her eyes were also small and her eyesight was not good. Her mother and her father were childhood sweethearts, and they married close relatives. Her grandmother and her grandmother were sisters, and the defects of consanguineous marriage should be on her. "You're good, after two months in the city, did you buy anything delicious and come back?"

"Lizi, the cow is not mine, why are you helping me look after the cow?" Li Hansheng replied, "Actually, he has a good relationship with Lizi, but he is not happy with the partiality of his grandparents." ”

Li Hansheng went in and took out the red bag of sugar and grabbed a handful of it for Lizi, "I bought the candy and invited you to eat it, now you are satisfied." As he spoke, he scattered the rest of the sugar to his friends and the children. The child gets the candy and scatters it, throws one in his mouth, grabs the rest and runs home.

"Wow!" Li Li didn't stop eating sugar, and pinched Li Hansheng's face, "Hansheng, why are you fat for nothing in just two months, tell me honestly, do you eat delicious things every day in the city!" ”

"Smack!" Li Hansheng slapped Li Li's hand away, "Don't move your hands and feet." There are indeed a lot of good things to eat in the town and a lot to see, especially the lights at night, which are especially beautiful......"

The companions sat on the small bench and listened in a daze, their mouths half open, and they forgot to suck the candy in their mouths. Li Hansheng's description seems to have lifted them out of the well, and after a glance at the prosperity and diversity of the outside world, they have an infinite yearning for it, and they no longer want to be cramped in this small mountain village.

"Wow!" Li Li patted Li Hansheng's shoulder fiercely, "I really envy you, I will definitely go to the big city in the future!" A circle of people nodded in unison, "I'm going too!" “

"You can go, why shoot me, and so strong!" Li Hansheng pouted in disgust, "When are you going to herd cattle?" ”

"Hansheng, you're stupid in the city, you must have eaten lunch. But you just came back and went to see the cattle in the afternoon? Li Zhou asked.

"You're stupid! I'm okay to stay at home anyway, I'll go up the mountain with you to have fun. Li Hansheng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
