It took ten minutes for Lu Qixiu's call to come.

He was late.

Ten minutes late to the agreed time.

Shen Yun held the mobile phone and didn't speak, an off-road vehicle drove into the yard, it was Lu Qixiu's car.

The SUV was followed by a truck with a blue compartment, its tires running over puddles and splashing in its passes.

The truck was not good at entering the yard, so it was parked on the side of the road.

Lu Qixiu, who was in the car, said, "Take an umbrella and come over by yourself." ”

Shen Yun held the mobile phone, heard him speak, oh.

Lu Qixiu was in the car and didn't plan to get out of the car to pick her up.

The woman who walked towards him step by step with an umbrella went around to the passenger seat, she first bent down and got into the car, put away the umbrella full of rain, shook it, closed the car door, and put the umbrella at her feet, because it was raining, she was wearing sandals, and her legs and feet were all wet when she came.

Lu Qixiu hung up the phone when she came over, threw it aside, and he took a box of tissues to her: "Wipe it." ”

Shen Yun took it: "Thank you." ”

Lu Qixiu saw her thin white and well-proportioned legs, and her head was a little hot, the kind that cold water couldn't extinguish.

He restarted the car, turned around, and drove in the direction of the eucalyptus, with the truck following him.

Shen Yun asked, "The car in the back?" ”

"Well, supplies, follow a piece to the eucalyptus setback."

"It's hard to walk on a rainy day." The windows of the car were all rain, hazy, and he couldn't see the outside scenery, so Shen Yun could only stare at the front of the car.

Lu Qixiu said: "Well, it's really hard to walk on a rainy day, but the driver is in a hurry and has to send it over first." ”

At the end, Lu Qixiu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold."

"If you want to be cold, just say it."

Shen Yun said lightly: "I know." ”

Her voice was as cold as a mountain stream, and she seemed to be still angry with him, polite and polite to him like an ordinary acquaintance.

It's not good to understand things too well, and it's difficult for others to break through their own theories.

And Lu Qixiu didn't have time to coax her at this time, the mountain road was not easy to drive, and it was a rainy day, so he had to keep an eye on the road conditions in front of him.

After more than half an hour, the rain became lighter, and the mountains in the distance were ethereal and shrouded in white mist, which looked so unreal.

The scenery is beautiful, but Shen Yun's SLR is broken, and there is no way to take a souvenir.

When I arrived at the primary school in Eucalyptus, the drizzle did not affect the transportation of materials.

Lu Qixiu turned off the engine and got out of the car, stood on the side of the car and said, "Be careful when walking, the ground is full of mud." ”

She nodded, opened the door, held an umbrella and got out of the car.

The rain was not heavy, Lu Qixiu was too lazy to hold an umbrella, and after explaining to the truck driver, he took Shen Yun to find the principal.

Shen Yun watched him walk in the rain, thought about it, and quickly followed the umbrella above his head.

Lu Qixiu glanced up, his eyes were heavy: "No, a few steps, you just take care of yourself." ”

It was even colder than when she had just said thank you.

Shen Yun pursed her lips, but didn't return the umbrella, and said, "It's okay, the umbrella is big, it can support you." ”

Lu Qixiu bent her lips, she couldn't see it, and laughed silently.

Tsk, you can't lose, you have to come back.

……

Seeing the principal, Shen Yun took out the photo album, which Lu Qixiu asked her to put away, she put the photo album on the ground and said, "Excuse me, I'm here to return your things." ”

The headmaster lifted his reading glasses and said, "Oh, I remember you, the little girl who came before. ”

She didn't wear makeup during this time, her face was white and tender, her skin was excellent, and she looked younger than her actual age.

Lu Qixiu said: "Then the principal, you talk, I will call a few male teachers to move supplies." ”

"Thank you, Ah Xiu." The headmaster is old and kind-eyed. Although he spoke with an accent, he was a teacher after all, and he spoke Mandarin quite clearly.

So there are no communication barriers.

Shen Yun seemed to be a little nervous and glanced at him.

Just one glance, immediately retract your gaze.

Lu Qixiu walked to the door, didn't look back, and glanced sideways at her with his residual vision.

It's still those legs.

As soon as he left, there were two people left.

Shen Wan then said, "Principal, I came to you again today to ask about Professor Chu. ”

"I know, Ah Xiu mentioned it, but I don't know who Professor Chu is? How do you know about Professor Chu? ”

"Professor Chu is my mother."

The principal didn't seem to know that Chu Hua had a daughter, and she never mentioned it during her teaching period, so everyone around her thought that she was a person, unmarried and never had children, and a daughter appeared out of thin air, and he didn't believe it.

Shen Yun took the initiative to take out a group photo of the family she carried with her, and this was the only one to show the principal to prove her identity.

After the principal saw it, he saw that the woman in the photo of a family of three was indeed Chu Hua, so he believed it, and said in disbelief: "Professor Chu never mentioned it, we all thought she was not married." ”

"Why didn't my mom mention it?"

The principal said, "This is her own business, and we can't get to the bottom of it." This place is too poor, unlike the big cities, when she came to fill in a few pieces of information, it would be good to have a teacher come at that time, but I was afraid that the teacher would leave, and no one would stay to teach the students. So there are some things that people don't want to talk about and don't dare to ask more. ”

The principal returned the photo to her, she carefully put it away, and said, "Then do you know where Professor Chu is now?" ”

The principal brought a clean ceramic cup, and one of the cups was embroidered, which seemed to have been used for a long time, and he scalded it with boiling water, washed it again, and then poured tea, and said, "She came back once before she left, came back to see the children, stayed for a few hours and left again, and left an address for me before leaving." ”

Shen Yun's voice was hoarse: "Can you show me?" The address she left behind. ”

……

Before leaving, Shen Yun bowed to the principal to express his gratitude.

She walked downstairs and passed a classroom, this school was on summer vacation, there were no students there, the wooden paint off classroom door was not closed, she walked in, sat by the window, and held a note in her hand, which said the address where Chu Hua was now.

The principal said that it would take ten hours to drive from here, which is not far, but the road conditions are not easy to walk.

Lu Qixiu found a male teacher to help move the materials, just like last time, this time the materials were donated by the outside world, all of them are items needed for the winter in the mountains, here the summer is short and the winter is long, and it snows, and when it snows in winter, there is ice everywhere on the mountain, which is very inconvenient.

He doesn't deliver supplies in the winter, so he does it as soon as the weather is good.

Shen Yun sat in the classroom for a while, wanting to see if he was done.

Walking to the school gate, Lu Qi was unloading materials, his two arms were strong and powerful, the lines were smooth, the meridians were faintly visible, he was working without ambiguity, braving the rain, he didn't care at all, his forehead and face were full of water, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain.

Finally finished moving the supplies, and the distribution was the male teacher's business, and Lu Qixiu didn't care about it.

His trip was originally to deliver supplies, and it was done when he sent them here, and the specific distribution was handled by the male teacher.

He touched the cigarette case on his body, took it out and pinched it, it was wet, he didn't give up and took out a cigarette to see, it was so wet that the lighter couldn't be lit, he raised his eyebrows, put it back, found the trash can and lost it.

Can't smoke it anyway.

He turned around and saw Shen Yun standing in the drizzle with an umbrella, walking towards him step by step, the umbrella was raised high, propped up above his head, and said, "Mr. Lu, discuss things again." ”

This Mr. Lu is a bit harsh.

He half-squinted, and rain came into his eyes, and said, "What is it?" ”

"Are you done? Can you get in the car and say? ”

"It's not over yet, you can wait."

Shen Yun said yes.

Lu Qixiu turned around and ran into the drizzle again, the sky was dark green, and the back of the slowly running away seemed to be integrated with the sky and mountains.

Shen Yun simply went to the side of the car and waited for him, his eyes wandering.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Qixiu finally returned, his breath was unsteady, and said, "Get in the car." ”

The two of them got into the car, and Shen Yun gently shook off the umbrella, not in a hurry to speak, but waited for him to speak first.

Lu Qixiu started the engine and said, "What's the matter?" ”

His clothes were wet, so he asked her, "Do you mind if I take off my clothes?" ”

It's not that Shen Yun hasn't seen a man's body, but the space in the car is small, and at such a close distance, although she is a little at a loss, she still says, "You are casual." ”

So Lu Qixiu took off his clothes, threw the half-wet clothes in the back seat, and played shirtless, with a strong sense of presence.

He asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Shen Yun: "If you send me to another place, you don't have to pay back the money you owe me." ”

Lu Qixiu smiled, a little ruffian between his eyebrows, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Shen Yun reported an address, and she memorized it all just now and memorized it in her mind.

Lu Qixiu was not surprised, and said, "Hurry to go? ”

"Well, I'm in a hurry." After all, she's leaving here, and she wants to go there once before leaving.

"Ten hours by car, you're ready."

……

Lu Qixiu didn't ask her what she was doing there, just cared.

He called and said to the truck driver, he didn't go back to Shichuan, asked the driver to drive more carefully on the road, hung up the phone, and the atmosphere in the car instantly quieted down, and no one spoke.

Shen Yun felt that it was too quiet and said, "Can I put a song?" ”

"Only yesterday's song."

"Listen." She doesn't care.

Ever since he had kissed her that night, she had distanced the two of them from each other, and her words were all short, not giving a word more, and her attitude was so cold that she would laugh when she talked to the principal, and she would talk to him like a cold stream at the bottom of a cliff.

But he doesn't regret it.

The sky gradually darkened, the rain stopped, but the mountain road is still not easy to walk, fortunately, Lu Qixiu has good skills and is familiar with the mountain road, so it is a little easier, just a little.

Shen Yun was in a very bad state, he rolled down the window before it rained, staring at the undeveloped primitive scenery outside, and the sky gradually darkened seemed unreal.

It had just rained, and it wasn't that hot, but it was a little cool.

Shen Yun rubbed his arms and asked, "How long is it?" ”

"Just halfway there."

Half of the mountain and half of the cliff, the mountain was full of lush trees, and she saw no signs of human habitation, let alone any houses, along the way.

Until it was all dark, Lu Qixiu asked her, "Are you hungry?" ”

She shook her head, moved her buttocks, and held one position for a long time, and her ass hurt.

Lu Qixiu's waist couldn't sit for a long time, let alone drive a car for so long, but he could bear it, for fear of being seen by her, and he didn't make a noise all the way.

What is it for a big man to scream for this?

Especially in front of the woman you like.

It was dark all around, Shen Yun looked out the car window and it was all dark, and when night fell, the moonlight could be seen in the night sky in the mountains, which was similar to the mountains she had been to before, and there was no difference.

Lu Qixiu had been driving for a long time and needed to refresh himself, but the cigarette was wet and thrown away by him, which made him have no cigarette in his hand and his mouth was astringent.

Shen Yun suddenly regretted that he went to Chu Hua so impulsively, he didn't want to contact her for so many years, and he definitely didn't want to see her.

It would take about five hours to get there, and Lu Qixiu said, "If you're sleepy, you can rest." ”

Shen Yun pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty in her heart: "I'm not sleepy, are you tired, or should we change it?" ”

"How old are you?"

"A driver's license at the age of eighteen." She said.

"Driving a lot?"

"No, there is a driver."

Lu Qixiu smiled: "Then I'll open it." The implication is that I don't trust her skills.

Shen Yun was afraid that he was too tired, after all, it was very difficult to maintain his attention after driving for such a long time, and said, "You have to stop resting on the side of the road." "She also wanted to go to the bathroom.

Lu Qixiu found an open space to park, and turned on the headlights to make it easier to see the surrounding environment.

He unbuckled his seat belt and rummaged in the back seat, without saying what he was looking for.

Shen Yun got out of the car, the soles of his feet were slippery and almost sticky, and he held on to the car door to stand firm.

Lu Qixiu heard the movement and leaned up, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Yun: "I'm fine. ”

Lu Qixiu finally found a box of cigarettes on the ground, opened it to see that there was still one, and put on half-dried clothes by the way, before biting the cigarette butt, lighting the tobacco and smoking.

Shen Yun looked around and said, "I'll go away." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Fix that." Shen Wan is not embarrassed, after all, it is human nature.

Lu Qixiu smiled: "Be careful, bring on your mobile phone and turn on the flashlight, don't go far." ”

She didn't dare to go far and find a more hidden place to solve it.

The first and only time this was done in an open air.

Lu Qixiu finished smoking a cigarette, she hadn't come back yet, the signal in the mountains was not good, and it came and went, he shouted her name around, but no one answered.

He shouted again: "Shen Yun, are you okay?" ”

Shen Yun's voice sounded: "Don't rush." ”

Some embarrassment.

"Don't rush, hurry up."

Isn't this just urging?

Shen Yun was anxious.

……

Lu Qixiu thought that she had stepped on the air, and he was not at ease, so he walked in the direction she left.

He also turned on his mobile phone flashlight, slowly approached, and said, "You fell?" ”

Shen Yun had already solved it, and when she heard the movement, she quickly stood up, she was in a hurry, there was still stagnant water in the place where it had just rained, she was in a hurry, and she stepped on the puddle, and her feet were full of silt.

The phone also fell to the ground and the light source disappeared.

Lu Qixiu saw the light source of the mobile phone flashing, twisted his eyebrows and immediately walked over, and saw Shen Yun standing up with a tree trunk on one side, she said: "I'm fine, it's just that the soles of my feet slipped and stepped on the air." ”

She shouldn't have been wearing sandals either.

"You stand still, I'll go."

Shen Yun obediently didn't move.

In fact, she did drag her feet this time.

Lu Qixiu picked up her mobile phone with the light on, and when he got closer, he saw that her legs were full of mud, and he didn't dislike it, he picked her up, she wanted to refuse, but he said at the same time: "Don't move, this will be a little better." ”

She obediently, grabbing the man's broad shoulders with both hands.

There was a stream on the side, Lu Qixiu asked her to hold her mobile phone, follow the road ahead, and carried her all the way to the side of the stream, so that she could wash her legs that were splashed with mud.

The stream was cold, and she touched a spirit that was frozen in the stream.

The night sky was clean, the stars were shining, the mountains were a little eerie, the sound of the murmuring of the stream, the crescent moon hung in the air, and the surroundings were dark and dark.

Lu Qixiu waited for a while, "Have you washed it?" ”

"Alright."

He held out his hand to her, "Grab my arm and be careful not to fall." ”

Her hand was soft and boneless, just covering his arm, Lu Qixiu was afraid that she would not be able to grasp it steadily, so he freed up his other hand to firmly grasp her wrist and easily pulled it up.

Rough fingertips grinded her delicate wrists.

She wanted to let go, but Lu Qixiu changed direction, and grabbed her hand, almost ten fingers clasped.

"Follow me and focus."

Shen Yun bit her lip and hummed softly.

Back to the car, Lu Qixiu didn't let go, Shen Yun struggled, his hand was still imprisoned, and he refused to let go.

"Lu Qixiu." She spoke, her voice soft, "You can let go." ”

Lu Qi let go leisurely and jokingly said, "Don't call Mr. Lu anymore?" ”

The night was very dark, and Shen Yun stared at him silently, but he couldn't see it either.

It was windy at night and the temperature was low at night, which was a bit chilly.

Shen Yun got into the car, but her legs were still wet, so she bent down to untie her sandals, revealing her white toes, wanting to wait for the shoes to dry before wearing, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to wear wet.

Lu Qixiu took the compressed biscuits and mineral water that he had been preparing in the back seat, and after getting into the car, he handed it to her: "Eat a little, don't be hungry." ”

Shen Yun took it, his heart was complicated, and he whispered, "Thank you." ”

Then he said, "Why don't you ask me?" ”

Lu Qixiu asked knowingly: "What are you asking?" ”

"Why go so far."

"I don't know, but I can guess that you are looking for Professor Chu, and you also said that she is your mother."

Shen Yun reached out and grabbed his hair and joked, "You know too much, I should kill you." ”

The atmosphere was a little lighter, and she made a joke.

Lu Qixiu glanced sideways at Shen Yun, his eyes were on the spot, his eyes were pure and calm, his heart softened a little, and said, "It's okay, I'm willing to die on you." ”

Shen Yun almost didn't bite his tongue: "......"

That's what it's like to shoot yourself in the foot.

It didn't take long for him to hit the road again.

Lu Qixiu was driving, she was drinking water and eating biscuits, and the taste of compressed biscuits was not good, remembering how ordinary people could prepare these things in their cars, so she said: "You often run transportation?" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Yun: "Isn't it profitable to do photography?" ”

Maybe the atmosphere between the two of them has eased a little, but she is still more curious about him.

"Don't earn. If you can't make a good film, the market won't accept it, where will the income come from. ”

She asked again, "Why can't you shoot it?" ”

"Inspiration runs out."

Shen Yun said: "Your answer is very perfunctory. ”

Lu Qixiu did not deny it.

Finally, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, and I arrived at my destination.

It's a small village that's about the same as Eucalyptus, and every house at this point is asleep, and none of them have lights on.

Shen Yun didn't know when she fell asleep, Lu Qixiu stopped the car, she just woke up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the surrounding environment.

Lu Qixiu said: "I contacted a local friend in advance, and I want to borrow his house tonight, do you recognize the bed?" ”

Shen Yun pursed her lips and didn't react.

How did he know so many people?

She asked, "You know a lot of people." ”

"I've been all over this area, can I know you?"

Shen Yun: "......" has some terrible fragments flashing through my mind.

Lu Qixiu glanced sideways at her, "Now you know that you're afraid?" It's too late to regret it. ”

Shen Yun said: "I have no regrets. ”

Lu Qixiu was expressionless, opened the car door and got out of the car, the car happened to stop in the open space in front of someone's house, the house lights were on, and a woman came out with a flashlight.

Shen Yun followed Lu Qixiu out of the car and brought his backpack.

Lu Qixiu communicated with the woman in dialect, and the woman was very excited to see him, they were very familiar.

When the woman saw Shen Yun, she smiled with kindness and beckoned them into the house.

Lu Qixiu said as he walked: "It's too late now, let's sleep in Agri's house for one night first, and then go to Professor Chu tomorrow." ”

Agri, the name is like the name of another race.

Agri has dark skin, big eyes and bright eyes, she doesn't seem to know Mandarin, she has been talking to Lu Qixiu in dialect, took them to the door of a room, pushed open the door, and talked to Lu Qixiu a lot.

Shen Yun didn't understand, and kept smiling politely.

Agri finally asked Lu Qixiu, "Is this beautiful sister your sweetheart?" ”

Lu Qixiu replied in dialect: "Yes." ”

Agri smiled, showed his white teeth, and said a few more words to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun didn't understand, and looked at Lu Qixiu as if asking for help.

Lu Qixiu explained seriously: "She asked you how old you are and if you have a boyfriend." ”

Shen Yun heard that this was definitely not the meaning, glared at him, and whispered, "Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, be serious." ”

Lu Qixiu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Why don't you ask her?" ”

In front of Agri, Shen Yun didn't want to mess with him, so he smiled, not knowing what to say.

Agri pointed to the room, "It's not early, I won't disturb your rest, I'll see you tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Qixiu nodded and said, "Thank you, Agri. ”

"Don't be polite to me, then you can rest first."

……

One room, one bed, two people.

The beams are wooden, and incandescent lamps fall on the walls to illuminate the house's facilities.

A wooden bed, a table next to it, and nothing else.

Clean and impoverished.

The beams of the house are very low, and Lu Qi is tall, and he can touch the pillar by standing up straight and reaching out.

Shen Yun stood at the door, lowered his voice and asked uncertainly, "Do we two sleep in the same room?" ”

Lu Qixiu nodded: "Well, there is only one room." ”

Shen Yun thought about it for a few seconds, and hesitated, definitely not being able to sleep in the same bed with him.

Lu Qixiu raised his eyebrows, watched the play, and said, "What, I dislike it?" ”

"It's not a matter of disgust." Shen Wan was a little speechless.

Lu Qixiu looked at her wrinkling her eyebrows, smiled in a low voice, and said, "What do you think of me, I'm not a beast, take advantage of you at this time, you sleep by yourself, I'll sleep in the car." ”

Tricked again.

Shen Yun's expression was a little serious.

Annoyed her, she was like she was covered in thorns.
