Chapter 266: Children
The broken thing is all over the place, and now that the spearhead has been transferred, she doesn't have to avoid the limelight, but Gu Yueling still feels that her heart is not very happy, so she simply packed her things and picked up her bag and went to the northern city as originally planned.
The plane sat for more than three hours, and then transferred to the train and car halfway, and even took an extremely distinctive agricultural tricycle, and got off the car when she was about to arrive at the village, and came to pick her up was a middle-aged woman in her forties with a red face that looked very simple, and walked for nearly an hour, Gu Yueling arrived at a village not far from the foot of the snow-capped mountain on a foggy night.
The signal was intermittent from the time it was close to the mountain, and there was no signal at all. But it's good that there is no signal, so it saves a lot of trouble, and everything seems so quiet.
Most of the young people in the village have gone south to work, and only some elderly people and children are still in the village, but it may be that the environmental quality in the village is relatively good, and many of the older people are still strong.
Seeing Gu Yueling, an outsider, many people in the village expressed a warm welcome.
There is a small farmhouse-like type of place in the village that can provide accommodation, but at first glance it is not a professional business to collect money, the fee is very low, and there are few places to live, which is basically not large.
The owner of the shop is an old man and his granddaughter, who also live in it, and usually eat by themselves and make it for tourists, and the people who come eat the same as them.
Because this season is too cold, there are not many people who come to play, Gu Yueling occupies a huge room alone, the kang head is burned warm, and after eating, Gu Yueling sits on it wearing a sweater inside, and her forehead is sweating.
"Little girl," the old man knocked at the door, "may I go in?" ”
"It's okay!"
The kind-looking old man walked in: "If you want me to say, this place in the snow mountain is too dangerous, although we are not big here, but in the end there is still a scale, you little girl is too dangerous, not suitable!" ”
"It's okay, I've been there alone before, it's winter, it's okay, I still have the ability to save myself! Besides, the mountain here is not very dangerous, I don't care! ”
The old man sighed: "I see that you look like my eldest granddaughter, and I look at you and feel kind, for fear that you will suffer, and I feel unbearable." ”
The old man doesn't speak Mandarin very well, but fortunately, the gap between their words in this place and Mandarin is not too big, Gu Yueling can hear it clearly, and the meaning of suffering is suffering.
She smiled and said, "It's really okay, I don't go too far, I'm just distracting." ”
"Then let's do it, tomorrow, I'll find a young man to go with you, he is familiar with the mountains, and the people are honest, you can go with him!" He sighed again, "Everyone else comes in groups, and you're the only one who can't think of anything." ”
The co-author grandfather was so worried because he was afraid that Gu Yueling would suffer some kind of psychological pressure in the big city, so he came all the way here to commit suicide.
Gu Yueling originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to look at the old man's serious face, so she had to nod, just give some money and send people away when the time comes.
But now Gu Yueling is even more puzzled, don't all the young people in this village go out to work? How can there be a young man, is it here to be a guide for people?
Waiting until the next day, Gu Yueling saw the "young man" in the old man's mouth, and he was stunned.
The one in front of me is clearly a child who is no more than ten years old!
With a characteristic plateau red on his face, he pursed his lips and smiled at Gu Yueling with a shy face.
The thin body was wrapped in an ill-fitting wide cotton coat, swaying like a hemp rod, just like him, Gu Yueling felt that if something happened unlucky, maybe who would help whom!
As if knowing that Gu Yueling couldn't look down on him, he pinched his sleeves as if he had gathered a lot of strength and said: "I have led many people to pass, I know everything, don't underestimate me!" ”
Although he mustered up his courage, his voice was still weak, but this child was surprisingly fluent in Mandarin, and his pronunciation was very mellow and good.
Gu Yueling hurriedly helped him save his respect: "Where do I underestimate you, I have to know how old my little tour guide is, what grade are you in elementary school?" ”
"I've already graduated from junior high school!"
"You skipped a grade?"
The kid secretly glared at Gu Yueling: "I'm fifteen years old this year!" ”
Scared, it's really not like it, just his thin little body, he looks like he is ten years old, if it weren't for the old man next to him echoing that he is indeed fifteen years old, Gu Yueling really thinks that this kid is lying.
In order to reassure the old man, Gu Yueling went out with this child.
"Then it's time for you to go to high school, right? Is it Sunday back? ”
"Hmm." He whispered, as if he was not very willing to deal with Gu Yueling.
"You're so remote here, high school got town, right? Isn't that far? ”
"It's time to get to the county, and it's three hours to come back."
Gu Yueling sighed lightly: "Your high school vacation is only a day and a half, you go back and forth like this, and you can't stay at home for a day if you piece together together?" ”
"I came back to see my grandmother, and I didn't worry about her."
"Oh."
This kind of child is generally brought up by grandparents, and it is normal for him to have a deep relationship with his elders, Gu Yueling didn't ask any more, so he praised in passing: "You speak Mandarin very well, your school teaches it so well?" ”
"I learned it from people when I was a tour guide." The child whispered, "What the teacher said is not as good as mine!" ”
"Poof, how much do you want? In this way, I will give you the money, you can go back by yourself, save more time to go back to accompany your grandmother. ”
"I don't want your money, it's Grandpa Sun who asked me to help you, and I want to bring you back safely."
"You really don't need to, you can take it!" Gu Yueling took out a small pile of money, about 1,000 yuan, and stuffed it into his hand, "Go back quickly, or you can wander around by yourself outside, I have a way for you to pay for it." ”
"I said I don't want your money!" The child's voice suddenly rose high, and he suddenly knocked out the money in Gu Yueling's hand.
The wind at the foot of the snow mountain was not small, and the money was dragged out of Gu Yueling's hand, and a few red tickets scurried with the wind.
The child's hands were extremely fast, and he picked up the money after a few turns on his small thin legs.
Gu Yueling smiled playfully: "You take it!" ”
