Chapter 52: Trekking through Mountains and Waters
Tao Tao couldn't believe it at all, what he had just seen was like a dream, how nice it would be if it was just a dream......
Are they worthy of Yuan Qian? Tao Tao felt that she couldn't stay any longer, she was going to Sichuan and Chongqing to find Yuan Qian. Her second brother, how can she stand this kind of anger?
She didn't even care about Meng Ruihua, and hurriedly walked out with her head down. Because she was so involved that there was someone in front of her, she didn't see it, and she put it in the person's arms head-on.
Tao Tao was in pain, rubbing his forehead and looking up at the person in front of him, Zhao Kangping was also looking at her......
“…… Right...... I'm sorry, Brother Kangping......"
"Why is it still like this?" She does this whenever she thinks about things, or when she's down. Absent-minded, the six gods have no master.
Tao Tao scratched his head and smiled, "It's hard to change habits......"
Zhao Kangping held a cigar in his hand and didn't smoke it, "Where are you in such a hurry?" ”
"No, just ...... I want to go back. ”
"Because I'm here?"
"No...... No," Tao Tao waved his hand and tried his best to explain.
"Then talk to me for a while......" Zhao Kangping snuffed out the cigar in his hand. Motioned for Tao Tao to walk together.
Tao Tao followed him hard, and at this moment the air was filled with the fragrance of jasmine flowers, neither of them spoke, and occasionally the sound of leather shoes rubbing against the ground could be heard.
Tao Tao had to admit that Zhao Kangping looked very good in a military uniform. She followed him, moving in unison......
"How are you doing?" After being silent for a long time, Zhao Kangping stopped, turned around and looked directly at Tao Tao.
"Very good......"
"You don't have anything to say to me? Or is there anything to ask me? ”
"Huh?" Tao Tao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Forget it......" Zhao Kangping sighed. Let's go back......"
"Oh......" It's really inexplicable, her mind is now in what happened just now, how can she have the heart to pay attention to his abnormality.
"Kangping ......" A crisp voice came, Tao Tao looked up, and a woman not far away dragged a yellow dress and walked over with a radiant look.
Tao Tao recognized at a glance that it was the dance partner brought by Zhao Kangping, and it would not be the dream lover of all men in Shanghai, it was really beautiful. Especially those eyes, which seem to be able to speak.
When she got closer, she walked to Zhao Kangping's side on her own and naturally took his arm.
"Kangping, who is this young lady?" It won't be called a yellow warbler, the voice is as crisp as a yellow warbler.
"Miss Pei......"
"Oh......" she looked at Tao Tao, "Is it the sister of Second Young Master Pei?" "The eyes are not evasive.,It looks like an innocent child.。。
"Yes......" Before Tao Tao could speak, Zhao Kangping answered for her. Why don't you dance in there, what are you doing here? ”
"It's so stuffy...... As soon as you are gone, you want to come out and try your luck...... I found it so quickly. Her words were so natural that it was clear that she was very dependent on him. And Zhao Kangping seems to be patient with her......
People always have to look forward, and now that someone is by his side, she feels guilty.
"Brother Kangping...... You talk, I'm going back, Ruihua can't find me for a while, I should be in a hurry......"
Zhao Kangping looked at her for a while before nodding......
"Second Young Master Pei's sister is so beautiful...... "After Tao Tao left, Huang Ying said to herself.
"How do you know he's Pei Yuanqian's sister?" Zhao Kangping pulled out the arm she was carrying and kept a distance from her.
Huang Ying pursed her lips, dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, "I've seen it in Commander Kai, Young Master Pei is not an ordinary favor for her sister. ”
She likes sweets, especially Kai Ling's osmanthus cake, and every time she passes by there, she will go into the store to choose it herself.
Once, she finished work late, passed by and got off the car to buy osmanthus cake, just about to push the door in, a pair of wall people came out of the store, the man was dressed in a long shirt, the temperament was warm, and the girls around him were also bright and pretty.
She gave them a place, and the man nodded to her gentlemanly.
She was about to go in, when she heard the pretty girl just now say, "Second brother, that person is Huang Ying...... Finally met the real person. "At that time, she was also a little famous, and she was always recognizable when she walked on the street. She has long been surprised by the fuss of others.
At that moment, she somehow was recognized by these two people, and a sense of pride surged in her heart.
She thought that this matter was over, even if it was a different encounter in her life.
Unexpectedly, after she came out, the man just now was standing outside waiting for her.
He said sorry to disturb you, my sister likes you very much, can I please help you sign a name...... She was taken aback, a little incredulous, and flattered.
She readily agreed, only to see him take out a book, as if it was the latest English translation published by the Commercial Book Company, and she wrote her name on the title page of the book, and made every stroke extremely seriously......
She wrote it and handed it to him, and he smiled and said thank you. She also smiled and shook her head, it was not a big deal, it was something she was happy about.
When he turned to leave, she remembered and stopped him: "What do you call it?" ……”
He didn't seem to expect her to ask this, turned around and stood still, looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and still reported to his home, "Pei Yuanqian......"
Something flashed in her mind, and it wasn't until Yuan Qian got in the car that she remembered that Pei Yuanqian was not the hot Pei Yuanqian.
No wonder his temperament is so unusual. He got into the car and handed the book to his sister, and the girl smiled brightly, and he smiled, a completely different smile from just now. It's a spoiling from the bottom of my heart.
At this moment, she was very envious, how good it would be if she also had such a brother......
Zhao Kangping looked at Tao Tao's departing back and was silent, she really didn't care at all...... He was disappointed and sad in his heart, was it really just lost? His pride does not allow failure, but because of her, he has actually lost a long time ago......
Zhao Kangping walked a long way alone, and when he turned around, Huang Ying was still standing in place, "Let's go, ......"
"Oh......" Huang Ying caught up, he didn't seem to be in a good mood, so she had to be careful.
"Don't you love osmanthus cakes, I'll take you to buy ......"
"Really?" This sudden move really flattered her......
Tao Tao did not go to Meng Ruihua, but entrusted the adaptation student to bring a word to Meng Ruihua, she left first, and did not wait for her.
After returning to school, Tao Tao still did not come out of the shock, and she didn't know what to do for a while. It stands to reason that she shouldn't have told Yuan Qian about such a thing, but she didn't want him to be deceived, so she especially wanted to meet him at this moment.
She lay in bed tossing and turning, barely sleeping, and the next day, she went to the teaching room again to ask for leave, and she decided to go to Fuling herself.
After Meng Ruihua knew the news that she was going to Fuling, she begged her to take her with her, she explained, "You go by yourself, there is no one to take care of on the way, I don't worry, and another one happens to be a business bookstore in Sichuan and Chongqing There are charity activities, I just happened to go by the way, just to participate." ”
Tao Tao agreed, and the two girls also had a companion on the road. It's one thing to decide, it's another to act.
In the past, everything was taken care of by Yuan Qian, and she never knew that it would take so much effort to complete one thing.
Let's talk about buying ferry tickets, two people got up early, but they didn't buy a good ship, and finally waited and waited, and bought a small passenger boat, but it was still crowded.
Tao Tao was on this kind of boat for the first time, there were many people, there were all kinds of smells, she didn't know if it was smoked, or because the boat was unstable, she began to vomit soon after she got on the boat, almost all the way, and the bile was about to be vomited......
Fortunately, Ruihua is here, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold on to Sichuan and Chongqing.
After the boat arrived in Sichuan and Chongqing, it was already late, and there was no boat to Fuling, so the two girls found a hotel near the pier and stayed.
The conditions of the hotel are average, almost all of them are people in a hurry, and there is no stop of noise, and occasionally the cries of children can be heard...... In the second half of the night, the child's crying finally stopped, and the voice gradually stopped, but there was a different sound.
At first, Tao Tao thought it was something that was gnawed by rats, but then he felt more and more that something was wrong, and he thought it was the sound of the bed shaking, squeaking, squeaking...... She pushed Meng Ruihua, who was sleeping, "Ruihua, what sound do you hear?" Tao Tao whispered, with a hint of worry.
Meng Ruihua rubbed his eyes, "What's the sound......"
"Listen to ......" Tao Tao was unwilling, and there seemed to be a gasp at this time...... But she wasn't sure.
Meng Ruihua turned over, closed his eyes and listened for a while, "Fall asleep...... Put your ears on your ears and act as if you didn't hear ......"
"But I can't sleep...... Tao Tao said.
Meng Ruihua approached Tao Tao, then pressed her down and whispered a few words in her ear.
Tao Tao shouted "Ah......" and looked at Meng Ruihua in disbelief.
"Shh Meng Ruihua made a gesture of silence. "If you don't believe it, listen to ......"
Sure enough, there was a woman's shout...... "Uh-huh...... Whew......"
Tao Tao got into Meng Ruihua's quilt in fear and reached out to cover his ears......
It was another sleepless night, and finally there was no movement, and she was just about to fall asleep when it was dawn.
In order to catch the earliest boat, she and Meng Ruihua didn't even have a chance to have breakfast and ran to buy tickets.
I thought I could buy something to cushion the ship...... But the child sitting next to her looked at her pitifully, and she gave her food to the child.
The children in the countryside have never eaten this kind of thing, gobbling it up, and eating it all in three or two bites. Tao Tao couldn't help but smile when he looked at his satisfied appearance.
It's really too backward here, and thatched houses abound...... It's exactly like a backward mountain village.
The mother of the little boy next to her couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that she was going to Fuling, she lived in Fuling, and came to Sichuan and Chongqing to visit the child's father, so she could show them the way.
Tao Tao was grateful, and quietly stuffed a few silver dollars. The woman said that she would not accept anything, and Tao Tao said that she was buying a pair of shoes for the child, because he was still wearing straw sandals on his feet, and the toes were worn out and the flesh was blurred, and she looked at it painfully.
The woman was grateful and accepted the money. After getting off the boat, she took Tao Tao to the village chief's house. Because Tao Tao had already said on the way, she was here to find someone......
