Chapter 154: The Life of an Ant
The night was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.
In a mountain forest, there are two figures, walking in a hurry.
It was quiet, eerily still, except for the slight sound of footsteps stomping on leaves.
Just then, the wind picked up, making the leaves rattle.
Liu Mengran unconsciously tightened her clothes.
"Sister, I'll come!" Wu Zhiyuan turned around, put away the luggage bar in her hand, and picked it up directly.
Meng Ran's heart was sweet, she bowed her head slightly, followed behind Wu Zhiyuan, and continued to walk.
This mountain forest, just the two of them, is very dark, very quiet, there is only one path, overgrown with grass and trees, but it does not hinder Wu Zhiyuan's vision, turn around from here, not far ahead, is the Wujiang River.
From here, you can vaguely see a little light.
Walking and walking, suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan paused.
"Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?" Liu Mengran asked.
Unconsciously, her name for him changed, but it was natural.
"Rest for a while, you're tired too!" Wu Zhiyuan smiled slightly, put down his duffel bag, took out a piece of clothing, and put it on the ground, "Sit here!" ”
"But...... But ......" Liu Mengran wanted to speak and stopped.
"You're afraid of those people coming after you!" Wu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Don't worry, they won't come!" ”
"Why?" Liu Mengran said, but his heart relaxed and sat on Wu Zhiyuan's clothes.
She was tired!
One is that he is too nervous, but he climbs all the way.
Fortunately, there is still him.
She looked at him, her eyes softening.
With him, even if she is upside down, she has no regrets.
"They are not immortals, they just know where we live, but they are not familiar with the environment here, how can they chase after us!" Wu Zhiyuan lit a cigarette, and a little red light illuminated half of his face.
"Even if they can find it, in this mountain forest, they will become headless flies, and I tell them to come and go!" Wu Zhiyuan said in a cold voice.
"Xiaoyuan, am I dragging you down!" Liu Mengran said leisurely, a little self-reproachful.
Until now, she didn't know that she suddenly moved tonight, just because she answered a call from Ye Xiaowen.
Moreover, she could see that Wu Zhiyuan didn't want to leave at all, if she wasn't there, he would definitely arrange it and wait for those people to come.
They're looking for him, isn't he?
He's been looking for that guy for a long, long time.
Even if there is only one chance, he will not let it go.
These, Liu Mengran is clear.
He was for her and had to go!
"Don't be cranky!" Wu Zhiyuan sat beside her, turned his head, and looked at her, "Sister, you are not allowed to talk about yourself like that in the future, you are a good woman!" ”
"I see!" Liu Mengran's heart warmed.
She knew what Wu Zhiyuan was referring to, today, in front of Tang Feng, in front of Ye Xiaowen, she said that she was a prostitute.
At that time, she thought that only Zheng Yong was listening, she knew that Wu Zhiyuan would come, but she didn't expect him to be at the scene at that time.
"Xiaoyuan, there's one thing, I forgot to tell you!" Liu Mengran said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
"This morning...... I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and I seemed to ...... It seems that I have seen Sister Xiaowen! Liu Mengran swallowed, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Wu Zhiyuan, "She disappeared in a blink of an eye, I thought I was seeing the wrong person, but I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"
"Sister, I don't blame you!" Wu Zhiyuan grabbed her hand and said softly, "They have calculations, we can't hide from them, in the future, when you are alone, just be careful!" ”
"Don't you really blame me? Don't you really feel like I'm dragging you down? Liu Mengran became nervous.
"Not really!" Wu Zhiyuan chuckled.
Liu Mengran cares about him, cares about him very much, and even, in her heart, he is the only one, so she is so cautious, suffering from gains and losses.
Wu Zhiyuan is clear about this.
However, he could not promise her anything.
The only thing he could do was to keep her safe and sound, to make her feel at ease.
He knew that Meng Ran was very sensitive to this kind of problem, and even if he hesitated for a moment, it would cause a psychological shadow to her.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't think about it and said: "Sister Mengran's cooking is so delicious, how can it be a drag?" With you, I can get home and have a bowl of hot soup, how nice! ”
"With you, I'm no longer an orphan!" At the end, Wu Zhiyuan became colorful.
"Giggles! Look at what you say, how can I be so good! Liu Mengran laughed.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, she was very happy to hear Wu Zhiyuan say this.
She looked at him, her eyes fogging.
She remembers the first time she met him, she took a picture and walked to their so-called massage parlor to find a woman.
He told her that that person's name was Chen Xi!
Chen Xi, Dawn!
Liu Mengran knew the meaning of the name, what he was looking for was not just a woman, but light, hope.
She is his hope!
He may not be a good man, but he is definitely a good man!
No one can be like him, for the sake of a woman, forgetting to die, willing to sink.
At least, she hadn't seen it.
Later, a lot happened.
At the bank, in the face of a robbery, he desperately protected himself behind him.
In the hospital, she was troubled by Ye Xiaowen, and he appeared by his side in time.
He didn't talk much, but he sheltered her from the wind and rain all the time.
It was he who rescued his younger brother from Zhang Tianhao, or he who freed himself from the sea of suffering and regained his freedom.
How could she forget, how could she forget?
She knew that he had always had someone in his heart.
She knew that following him was destined for ups and downs.
She hadn't even gotten a word of promise from him.
But she understands him, really understands him! She could hear the voice in his heart.
As long as she was by his side, even if it was death, she felt content.
Liu Mengran held his chin, all of a sudden, he was stupid!
She liked the way he smoked, the scar on his face, and even the way he looked like he was very charming.
"Sister! What are you thinking? Wu Zhiyuan took a deep puff of cigarette, and then stepped on the cigarette butt to extinguish it.
"Nothing...... It's nothing! Liu Mengran lowered her head, her face flushed.
"Luckily, it's dark, you can't see it!" Liu Mengran muttered.
"Sister! Let's go! Wu Zhiyuan stood up and looked at the faint lights in the distance, his gaze gradually converged, like the vast black night, deep and distant.
"Xiaoyuan, where are we going?" Liu Mengran stood up and asked.
"Haha!" Wu Zhiyuan laughed, "Ants move, where are they going, sister, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid!" Liu Mengran said firmly, "Follow you, I will never be afraid!" ”
"Come on! This one on your back! Wu Zhiyuan put down the guitar and handed it to Liu Mengran.
"Xiaoyuan, what are you?" Liu Mengran was stunned, but she was very well-behaved, and she carried the guitar according to her words.
"The mountain road is not easy to walk! You carry the guitar, I carry you! ”
"But ......" Liu Mengran hesitated, in addition to her, there were two pieces of luggage.
"Haha! Don't worry, I'm a person who has nothing else to do, and I have a lot of strength! Wu Zhiyuan directly put her on his back, carried his luggage, and strode away.
"Don't say you're unproductive!" Liu Mengran felt a pain in her heart, she could feel it, and he must be very bitter in his heart.
He has been looking for Chen Xi for a long, long time!
"Sister, don't worry! I grew up in the deep mountains and old forests since I was a child, what beasts and insects have I never seen? This mountain forest is out of the way! Wu Zhiyuan said, his chest straightened, and gradually, his steps became faster.
"I'm afraid your feet are worn out!" Wu Zhiyuan muttered.
"Hmm!" Liu Mengran lay on his back and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
She held him, tightly, tightly.
It's the warmest place in the world, it's the safest place in the world.
At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan's figure, in her eyes, is infinitely tall and infinitely tall.
The wind continued to blow, Wu Zhiyuan's footsteps were heavy and powerful, and gradually, he appeared on the edge of the Wu River.
"Xiaoyuan, let me down!" Liu Mengran said with a red face.
She could feel her face burning, especially when someone cast a strange look.
"Good!" Wu Zhiyuan put Liu Mengran down and turned around, "Sister, is your foot still painful?" ”
"I'm not a daughter!" Liu Mengran raised her eyes, "Forget, I'm from Xiangxi, and I'm also from the countryside!" ”
"Hmm!" Wu Zhiyuan raised his eyes and looked, in front of him, dozens of meters away, there was a street with brilliant lights, "Haha, Phoenix Avenue, sister, this street is named after you!" ”
"You'll say it!" Liu Mengran gave him a blank look, full of charm.
All along, he has been taciturn and has a straight face.
It was the first time she had seen him like this.
"Huh?" At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan's eyes fell on Phoenix Avenue, a wooden building, "Sister, there is a Bayu noodle restaurant there, let's go, let's eat, you are also hungry!" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Mengran nodded lightly, followed Wu Zhiyuan, and came to the door of the noodle restaurant.
"What do you want to eat?" This is a beautiful waitress, but seventeen or eighteen years old, when she saw Wu Zhiyuan and the others coming in, she said with a smile.
"Two bowls of noodles, as long as they are spicy!" Wu Zhiyuan took Liu Mengran and sat down in a random position.
"Okay, wait a minute, you two!" The waitress smiled lightly and walked into the kitchen.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came out of it and frowned when she saw Wu Zhiyuan, but she didn't say anything.
"Treat me like a bad guy again!"
Wu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "Also, I'm not a good person in the first place!" ”
"Xiaoyuan, no matter what others think of us, it's good to be worthy of our hearts!" Mengran grabbed his hand and said seriously.
"Hmm!" Wu Zhiyuan nodded, "We'll go back after eating, it's too bright here, it's not very comfortable!" ”
"Okay, we're ......"
"Why don't you hurry up, swallow slowly, how to do things? No, go back to your Guizhou! Don't be an eyesore here! Before Liu Mengran's words fell, a low cheer came.
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, at the kitchen door, the middle-aged woman was facing the waitress who had just greeted them, scolding.
"Bastard!" Wu Zhiyuan was furious, but Liu Mengran grabbed his hand.
"Forget it!" Liu Mengran shook his head vigorously.
Wu Zhiyuan's emotions slowly calmed down, in fact, he is usually not like this, but today, I don't know why, he always can't control himself.
"Your face, sir!" At this time, the waitress held two bowls of noodles and put them in front of them.
"Thank you!" Liu Mengran said, she turned her head and saw that the middle-aged woman had already walked into the kitchen.
"You guys use it slowly!" The waitress smiled reluctantly and turned away, but Liu Mengran held her hand.
"This is for you! Put it away," Liu Mengran stuffed a few pieces of money into her hand.
"This ......," said the waitress, looking around, shaking her head, "I can't ask for it!" ”
"Take it, it's not easy to come out to work!" Wu Zhi said, "You are still young, you will go far!" ”
As he spoke, Wu Zhiyuan glanced in the direction of the kitchen, "And she can only stay here for the rest of her life!" ”
"Thank you!" The girl nodded vigorously, "Thank you, big brother, thank you, sister!" ”
"I've had that experience! However, it is inevitable to come out to work and be wronged! After the waitress left, Liu Mengran said.
"Many of them are not grateful, but these migrant workers provide cheap labor and indirectly drive the economic development here, on the contrary, they think that it is the migrant population that robs them of their employment opportunities, and they think that the migrant workers are ignorant, dirty and smelly!"
Wu Zhiyuan picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and suddenly felt tasteless.
"It's not as delicious as you make! This is not authentic Sichuan noodles at all? Wu Zhiyuan frowned and said.
"Eat a little more, and I'll make it for you every day in the future!" Liu Mengran said in a low voice.
"It's good to have you!"
