Where is this!?

I sat up from the bed suddenly, probably because I was in such a hurry, and I felt a strong feeling of vertigo attack my brain, forcing me to close my eyes to relieve my pain.

Is this still a dream?

I closed my eyes and thought while relieving my dizziness, but I didn't dare to open them.

I'll admit, I was scared. I was afraid that when I opened my eyes, the nightmare would repeat itself, and I was terrified of the hideous face lying in front of my eyes.

I was silent for a long time, and my heart struggled, but in the end my reason defeated my fear. I slowly opened my eyes, one, two, and my vision was opened, and I was secretly relieved, I was glad that what I was afraid of did not happen.

After calming down, I began to take a closer look at where I was.

It was a simple room, but there was no small space, in this room, in addition to a table and a few benches, plus four beds, I was lying on one of them, and not far away there was a row of hangers on the gray-yellow wall, and my patrol eyes were fixed on the pink hanging on the hangers. I lifted the blanket that covered me in an inexplicable pattern, stepped barefoot on the dirty concrete floor, and walked in the direction of the hanger with some vague steps.

Touching the pink dress in my hand, I confirmed my guess that this was Pepper's dress, and only she could wear this style with the feeling of a little princess.

"Oh, little flocculent, why did you get out of bed?"

Zhou Jie suddenly appeared behind me with her loud voice, I was startled, and hurriedly turned around with my heart.

"Zhou Jie, be quiet, scare me."

I looked at her slightly apologetic expression with anger and amusement, but I felt indescribably relieved.

"Ahh Get used to it, go to bed and lie down! Alas, alas? Why are you barefoot, this is a construction site dormitory, if there is a glass nail, your little feet will be finished, you know? Stand still, I'll find you shoes! ”

Looking at Zhou Jie's prosperous appearance, my heart is also a lot more steady, and the previous fear has been squandered by Zhou Jie's loud voice, and I smiled helplessly.

"Zhou Jie, what's wrong with me?"

I'm confused about the current situation.

"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to say? You have a fever, more than 40 degrees, but a few of us are in a hurry, you seem to be burned confused, and you are vaguely whispering, but at that time it was in the car, and there is no good way, the third child has to use the alcohol we brought to help you heat up. No, when we finally arrived at the place, we quickly sent you here to rest. ”

Zhou Jie told me the reason in a broken way, and put his hand on my head to test the temperature while talking, and only after touching my body temperature was normal did he show a smirk, and a warm current passed through his heart.

"Thank you, Zhou Jie, but just now you said that I was babbling, so do you know what I said?"

I noticed one word, babbling.

"Hmm... It seems to hear a little, as if there are 'who are you' and 'run'. I can't remember the rest, after all, you had a fever at the time, who cares about those dream words. By the way, why do you ask this? ”

Zhou Jie thought about it and looked at me suspiciously.

"Nothing."

I shook my head perfunctorily, indicating that I didn't want to say more. But I was thinking about those two sentences in my head, and I was sure that the phrase 'run' in my dream was not what I said. Because when I think back to that dream, the scenes, smells, feelings, and conversations in the dream are still so clear, real and unbelievable, as if I had accidentally traveled to another time and space, and my memory is still fresh.

"Oh~ I know, do you have some ulterior secrets, for fear that you will accidentally say it when you talk in your sleep, right? Haha, tell me quickly, I would never tell anyone else. ”

Zhou Jie looked thoughtfully at me who was suddenly silent, and then put her hands on her chest with a playful face, ready to listen to my confession.

"Poof... Haha, no, how can I have any secrets, even if I have, how dare I hide it from you, the heroine? ”

I came back to my senses and couldn't help but laugh at her curious baby look.

"Second sister, are you awake? What are you two talking about, talking so happily. ”

In the midst of my laughter with Zhou Jie, the third child and Little Pepper also returned.

Pepper pounced on me with a look of surprise on her face, her little furry head rubbing against my chest.

"Honey, take advantage of me again."

I held the restless little head on my chest and kept her away from mine.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, the teacher will gather all the students to visit this place in a while. You guys pack up, second sister, will you go later? If you don't want to go, I'll help you take a leave of absence. Anyway, we're a sick person, aren't we? ”

The third child looked at me with some concern and asked for my opinion.

"It's okay, I'll be with you, I'm fine."

I shook my head and thought to myself, after all, it was my first time here, so it would be better to go with them.

"Hmm... It's fine, by the way, this room is our accommodation! After a while, when we come back from the visit, we will divide the work and clean up! ”

Pepper happily jumped onto a bed next to me and jumped on it like a wallaby, making the bed creak.

"Assemble! The students came to the front to get the helmet belt, this is the construction site, so the danger factor is very high, when visiting for a while, the students should pay attention to their feet, and do not run! Did you hear that! ”

The teacher who led the team shouted at the bustling crowd with a loudspeaker and a hard hat on his head.

"Hey~ This hat is so ugly."

"Perfect for you, haha."

“……”

The students frolicked and took their hats and followed the teacher into the construction site.

Pepper was very kind to help me and follow closely behind the team.

And Zhou Jie, who was making trouble, had already run in front and was ready to fight with the third child for 300 rounds.

The teacher who led the team told us about a few forbidden areas, where there are mainly many dangerous machines and cables, and she told us a few main directions for setting up camps and physical examinations, so that we can give the workers a physical examination in a few days.

Pepper gradually became more and more bored from the initial elation, and she couldn't help it, so she turned her little head to me.

"Second child, I don't want to go, it's so boring. Shall we find a place to rest? ”

I smiled at her, and seeing her distressed look, I didn't bother to correct what she called me.

"Okay, I'm bored too, let's go sit over there!"

As soon as she heard this, the expression on her face immediately turned cloudy, and she helped me to find a shady place to sit down.

After sitting down, neither of us spoke, just quietly watched the busy figures not far away. After watching it for a long time, I faintly heard Pepper sigh.

"It turns out that the houses we live in are built like this, and they work so hard!"

After speaking, he sighed worriedly in the direction we were looking.

I immediately thought it was funny, Pepper is always so cute.

"Huh? Look, dick! There's an uncle over there who seems to be crying. ”

I was sighing at Pepper's cute appearance, but she seemed to have noticed something, and then pointed to me not far away. I followed the direction of her finger and saw a middle-aged uncle holding his mobile phone shirtless, wiping tears from his face with a hand covered with sand.

Pepper and I looked at each other, stood up together as if telepathically, and walked in the direction of the uncle.

As we approached, the uncle still didn't seem to notice our arrival, and was just crying to himself.

We looked at his dark, old, slightly haggard face, and compassion crept in.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? ”

Little Pepper saw him crying so sadly, and he couldn't hold back, so he opened his mouth to interrupt the middle-aged uncle's sadness.

Hearing the movement, he slowly raised his head and looked at us with teary eyes. Probably because his eyes were a little loose from crying, he didn't see us clearly at the first time, so he lowered his head again and wiped the tears in his eyes.

“…… Forehead...... Little girl, who are you? ”

He finally saw us, calmed down, and squeezed out a smile at us, but didn't intend to answer Pepper's question.

"Ahh Hello uncle, we are students who have come here for internship. ”

Pepper was very kind to introduce us to him.

The man nodded thoughtfully.

"Uncle, you haven't told us yet, why did you cry just now? Is there anything we can help you with? ”

Pepper still doesn't remember the original problem.

"It's nothing, thank you, I just got sand in my eyes."

He scratched the back of his head and replied to Pepper with a slight smile, but wasn't going to tell us why he was crying.

I gently tugged at Pepper and motioned to her, and the man didn't want to say that we shouldn't ask again, but Pepper didn't understand what I meant.

"Second sister, what are you pulling me for? Uncle, just tell us, we can really help you. ”

Little Pepper continued to ask, I stroked the corners of my forehead with a headache, this kid is also on the bar...

"Well, actually, I just received a call from home, my daughter is sick and hospitalized, but I don't have the money to take her back for treatment, and our contractor here has not been paid for half a year. The family said on the phone that if I didn't get the money to go back to her for treatment, my daughter might be ...... Woo......"

What I didn't expect was that under Little Pepper's stubborn questioning, the middle-aged uncle actually said the reason.

As the middle-aged uncle spoke, he began to cry again. He held his phone tightly with one hand, and touched the tears on his face with the other. He cried in front of me and Pepper in front of two outsiders, you can imagine how desperate he was.

"Hey! That's Lao Liang over there! Sure enough, it's you!? I'm lazy again, aren't you? Get out of here and get to work! Otherwise, you don't want your salary every year! Get out! ”

Xiao Pepper was just about to open his mouth to comfort the middle-aged uncle, when a rude scolding voice rushed from behind the middle-aged uncle.
