Chapter 17: Into the City
It was the first time I had descended the mountain, turning from the mountain path to the wider road in the valley, and it was not until noon that I reached the outside of the valley.
Su Che saw fine beads of sweat on my forehead, wiped it for me with a smile, and then said, "Let's take a rest, eat something, and we can take the car in the afternoon." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." I nodded.
Although I have seen the city on TV, it is the first time for me to enter that kind of life, and I am naturally very nervous.
Taking out the dry food brought out from home, the two of us took a bite casually, and after eating, Su Che asked me, "Are you tired?" If you can't walk, I can carry you on my back. ”
My heart warmed, I shook my head and said, "No need, I'm not so pampered, are children who grow up in the mountains still afraid to walk?" ”
Su Che smiled: "That's right, but it's fast, walk a little longer to the town in front, and we can take the car." ”
"Oh, where are we going to move?" I asked.
"The city closest to the village, where I have a ready-made house and some acquaintances, I can help you arrange a school soon." Su Che said.
When I talked about going to school, I suddenly had a headache, looked at him in embarrassment and asked, "However, I dropped out of school after finishing the primary school in the village, and now I go to school, can I keep up?" ”
Su Che smiled disapprehantly: "You are so smart, you will definitely be able to keep up, there is something I can teach you." ”
"Really? Are you a teacher? I asked curiously.
"No, it's just that I still know a little bit about what you should learn at your age." Su Che said.
He seemed to be in a hurry to get into the city early, and after resting for a few minutes, he said to me, "Let's go, there is still a lot to do when we get home." ”
I obediently followed his side, and began to fantasize about my new life at school, if it wasn't for the lack of middle school in the village, my mother would not have let me drop out of school.
Although there was a middle school in the town down the hill, she didn't feel comfortable letting me go to and from school with the children in the village, so she had to leave me at home.
I didn't like this outcome, but after my mother cried helplessly a few times after I begged her, I couldn't bear to mention the idea of going to school again.
But in my heart, I still yearn for school life, to be able to play with my friends, and to learn so much useful knowledge.
There is a station in the town, and after we arrived, Su Che took me to buy a ticket, at this time my eyes were no longer enough, and I felt very novel when I looked at everything, although I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't help it.
I'll figure it out myself, I said to myself.
I'm from the mountains and haven't seen the world, but I will never behave like a dirt bun, this is a little reserved in my heart.
Su Che took my hand and got into a minibus, I could feel the sweat in his palms, and looked at the sun in the sky suspiciously, it wasn't hot this day, why did he sweat so much?
A few minutes later, the minibus started and drove along the neat and spacious asphalt road towards the city.
He hasn't let go of my hand since he got in the car, and I haven't broken free, letting him pull and look at the rapidly backward scenery outside the window.
I saw the busy people in the fields, the children playing on the roadside, the green trees, the flowers blooming at the foot of the mountain, and the smell in the air that was different from the mountain, and my mood became better.
Looking back at Su Che, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, maybe he didn't have much rest last night, right?
The car went back and forth, and finally drove into the city that Su Che was talking about, and now my eyes were even busier, because there were more novelties.
Su Che's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Is it fun?" ”
I turned my head to look at him: "No, I just think it's crowded, so many cars, so many people, and so tall buildings." ”
"You'll get used to it in a few days, get ready, we'll get off soon." Su Che said with a smile.
Looking at his clear eyes, all the uneasiness and apprehension in my heart are gone, as long as I follow him, naturally everything will be done.
As I thought, Su Che kept holding my hand, got off the minibus and got into a taxi, then came to a building and led me through the door.
There was also a very old person at the door guarding the door, and after seeing him, he smiled and said, "Xiao Su is back, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”
Su Che nodded: "I went back to my hometown, this is my sister, pick her up and go to school." ”
Then he lowered his head and said to me: "Jiang Cha, this is the doorman Uncle Chen, call someone quickly." ”
I called out to Uncle Chen, and the man smiled happily and said to Su Che: "Yo, you still have a sister, you look so cute." ”
"Well, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I haven't seen much of the world, so I will ask Uncle Chen to take care of it in the future."
Uncle Chen smiled: "Wherever it is, that's what I should do." ”
After saying hello, Su Che pulled me to the side of the elevator and pressed it, and asked me, "Will you use this?" ”
I looked at the button and nodded, "Yes, I've seen it on TV, but I've never sat on it." ”
"You'll get used to it in a few days." Su Che smiled.
When I entered the elevator, I was startled by the overweight at the moment after starting, but seeing Su Che's expression as usual, I didn't ask anything.
The elevator stopped with a "ding", and Su Che said, "It's here." ”
Following him into the door, I looked at the tidy room and opened my mouth wide: "This is your home?" It's so beautiful! ”
"Really? If only you liked it. Su Che smiled.
I smelled the familiar scent of sandalwood in the air, and ran to the windowsill to see the scenery outside, only to find that I was so high that I was startled.
Su Che put down his things, looked at me and said, "You take a break, I'll go out and buy something and come back." ”
"Oh, there you go."
He opened the door and went out, and I looked around the house, and nothing was so new, but what attracted me the most was the neat kitchen utensils in the kitchen.
Familiar with the environment, I threw myself on the soft sofa, closed my eyes, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
A person smirked, although my parents were not around, but for me, who was already a lot stronger, it was not difficult to overcome, and I also believed what Su Che said, I would be able to meet them soon, right?
After that, our family can live happily together.
I almost fell asleep, and I didn't know if I was asleep or dreaming, when I heard the door click, and then a green-faced and fanged thing walked in.
The person who came in was not Murong Yu, otherwise I wouldn't feel nervous, the guy stood at the door and looked at me coldly without saying a word, I got up from the sofa and asked nervously, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm here to kill you!"
"Why are you?" My heart was on fire, and I couldn't imagine that in this crowded city, I could still meet evil spirits and say that they would kill me.
"Die early and die late, you are going to die." The evil grinning grinned as he walked over to me.
I was very nervous, but I was not frightened, thanks to Murong Yu, he had trained my nerves strong enough after bullying me again and again, and besides, I still had a jade cicada on my chest to protect me.
"Don't be delusional, I have a talisman on me, and it's not certain who will die." I kept my composure and sneered.
"Really? Do you think I'm afraid? The demon laughed, and suddenly approached me, and a foul smell came over me, and I was surprised to find that his black hand had penetrated my chest, and the amulet had not reacted at all.
I felt like I might die, because I found that my body was getting lighter and lighter, and my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, but I was not willing to die like this.
"Ginger tea! Ginger tea! ”
In the haze, I heard someone calling me, I opened my eyes and saw Su Che squatting in front of the sofa looking at me with an anxious face, subconsciously touching my chest, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you back?" ”
"Well, what happened to you just now? I hear you yelling, but I can't wake you. Su Che asked with sweat on his forehead.
I smiled wryly: "Maybe I'm tired of riding in the car, right?" I just had a nightmare. ”
Su Che's eyes tightened: "What nightmare?" Tell me what you dreamed about. ”
I said what happened in the dream, Su Che thought about it solemnly, and then said, "Oh, it's okay, maybe you haven't rested well in the past few days, it's okay." ”
I thought so too, so I nodded and said, "yes, it's okay, I've had nightmares before, but this time it's more real." ”
Su Che was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything more, nodded and said, "When you wake up, let's see what I bought you." ”
"What?" I sat up curiously.
Su Che pointed to a large pile of bags next to the sofa and said, "I have bought all the clothes, shoes and school supplies for you, if there is anything else you need, let's go out and buy them together tomorrow." ”
I felt moved, looked at him and said, "This, it cost you a lot of money, right?" Why do you buy so much? ”
"What you said, it's only right to buy you something, take the clothes and try it, I think the size should be appropriate." Su Che said with a smile.
I nodded, picked up the bags and walked to the bedroom, closed the door and put all the clothes he had bought on the bed, they were so beautiful, soft and slippery to the touch.
After a while, Su Che asked outside, "Have you changed it, come out and show me the fit?" ”
I opened the door, and when he saw that I hadn't changed anything, he was stunned: "Why didn't you change it?"
"Well, I guess it's better to take a shower and change it, right? Don't get dirty with those new clothes. I bowed my head and said in a mosquito-like voice.
"Oh, okay, of course, I'll teach you how to use a water heater." Su Che scratched his head and smiled, like a big boy.
