Chapter 1 Saving Lives

Next Chapter

Tang Fengjuan came back from work in the company and was furious.

The general manager is not kind, she has worked diligently with him for four years, but she doesn't have her name when she returns to her job and raise. In a bad mood, I went home lazy to cook, and was half lying on the sofa sickly.

Hearing some noise outside, Bai Qingci calmly hid the comic book under the textbook, and then walked out of the bedroom.

Tang Fengjuan lifted her eyelids and glanced at her daughter, patted the delicate handbag on her side angrily, and didn't want to say more, "Take the money out for dinner by yourself, and bring me some beef noodles after eating." ”

Bai Qingci nodded obediently, afraid that Tang Fengjuan wouldn't see it, so he said "um" lightly, and took two ten-yuan tickets from his bag familiarly.

Tang Fengjuan is busy with work and has no time to take care of her, since she came to Jincheng, she has eaten almost all the restaurants near the community, especially the Chongqing noodles in the East Gate, and ordered a bowl of clear soup as usual, but even in the air-conditioned room, there was still a thin layer of sweat on her forehead after eating.

Rubbing his round little belly, Bai Qingci carefully carried the packaged beef noodles and walked home.

"Drip-"

With a sudden sound, Bai Qingci was flustered, and he was stunned for a while.

A middle-aged bald man poked his head out of the car, and saw that it was a thin and small seven or eight-year-old girl, and there were no adults around, so he immediately scolded and scolded, "Get out, don't you see the reversing car!" ”

Bai Qingci's little face turned red, and he whispered "I'm sorry", and hurriedly walked away.

I didn't want the bald man to turn the steering wheel, but he followed the direction of Bai Qingci unhurriedly, barking like a mad dog, "Are you a turtle, go faster!" ”

The community they live in was not planned in the early days, and there were full of cars, motorcycles, and even tricycles parked on both sides of the road, and there were frequent car scraping accidents.

Bai Qingzi tries to stand as close as possible to the middle lane. And the bald man stopped the car for some reason, and when Bai Qingci moved forward, he followed shamelessly.

There was no one around, Bai Qingci was scared in her heart, but fortunately, she was weak, thin like a paper person, and squeezed into the gap between the two cars.

The bald man had a hideous face, slowly parked the car in front of Bai Qingci, stretched out his hand to grab her, and the frightened Bai Qingci hurriedly retreated, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, and the beef noodles splashed all over the ground.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Bai Qingci's embarrassed appearance, the bald man had a wicked smile on his face, stepped on the accelerator, and the car passed in front of Bai Qingci's eyes with a "whirl".

Bai Qingci didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, he got up and stared at the beef noodles all over the ground in frustration, wanting to cry without tears, and he was afraid that he would have to be scolded when he went home.

"Knock-"

In a trance, there was a knock on the glass from the car on the left.

Bai Qingci looked in curiously, but unfortunately it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, and he could only hear the sound of "dong dong" one by one.

She swallowed her saliva and suppressed the fear in her heart, "Are you a human or a ghost?" She was scared, and she felt like she was walking in the countryside at night.

When the words fell, the sound of knocking on the glass was interrupted, and the world was silent except for the long cry of crickets in the grass.

"Go to the guard's room and call the security guard."

Perhaps because of the glass, the boy's voice was muffled.

"Oh."

Bai Qingzi responded, but the person didn't move for a long time, she was not hesitating, but recalling the location of the guard's room.

"Don't worry, I'm human."

When he spoke, Bai Qingci had already run away, and he didn't know if he heard it.

Bai Qingci went for a while, then led two security guards over, and the leader asked his companion to write down the license plate number and go back to contact the car owner, and then took out a professional lock picking tool from the tool kit.

A few minutes later, only a "click" was heard, and the car door opened.

A little boy got out of the car, although he was still a child, his facial features were prominent, as if he could get a glimpse of how outstanding his appearance would be when he grew up.

The security guard who had contacted the owner of the car also rushed back, and when he saw that it was a child, his head suddenly became big, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at the leader, "No one answered the phone." ”

I don't know how long the boy has been locked up in the car, worried that this incident will leave a psychological shadow on him, the leading security guard has been looking at the little boy, and found that he is not crying, and there is no fear on his face, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, just not frightened.

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

Ning Xuecheng nodded, a few wisps of different color slipped in her eyes, and showed them an innocent and cute smile, "Mom is not in good health, she may have fallen asleep and didn't hear the phone ringing." ”

The two security guards didn't want to do much, so they said, "Then go home quickly, and tell your parents to pay attention after driving!" ”

Ning Xuecheng nodded and politely thanked him.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Bai Qingci had no excuse to delay any longer, so he hesitated and reluctantly went home.

Ning Xuecheng's eyes were staring at her tightly, and her eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions.

"Do you want to eat beef noodles, I invite you to eat beef noodles." He caught up with Bai Qingzi and said, with an innocent and lovely smile.

Bai Qingci was almost dazzled by the little boy's smile, she tried her best to stabilize the impatience in her heart, and reluctantly refused, "No need, thank you." ”

Although I would love to buy a new bowl of beef noodles, they are not cooked.

Ning Xuecheng was very surprised, he didn't expect her to refuse, when the beef noodles spilled on the ground, he could clearly see the look on her face when the sky was falling.

Bai Qingci glanced at him secretly, thinking that since he had the money to invite her to eat noodles, he hesitated for a moment, and then said gently, "Can you lend me 12 yuan?" "Just enough to buy a new bowl of beef noodles.

Ning Xuecheng was stunned, "Yes." He remembered that there were 100 in the pocket of his trousers.

Bai Qingci looked up in astonishment, his little face flushed with excitement, and he spoke upside down, "I will definitely pay it back, but it will take a long time, I don't believe that I can make a note and write an IOU, my name is Bai Qingci." When people in the village borrow money, they will "make a blank slip".

In the nine years of living in the second uncle's house, she has no pocket money, and the second aunt gives her a five-corner piece during the New Year's holidays, and she can be happy for a whole year, 12 yuan is a huge amount of money for her.

But 12 yuan didn't matter to Ning Xuecheng, and Bai Qingzi's solemnity made him feel very novel. He took out 100 yuan as an adult, and said disapprerovitically, "I believe you." ”

Seeing Ning Xuecheng calmly take out a big unity, Bai Qingci's heart trembled, as if she saw a golden light bursting out from behind Ning Xuecheng.

"I'm going to buy a bowl of beef noodles and break the money."

"Okay."

The two went to a small noodle restaurant in Chongqing and repackaged a beef noodle restaurant.

Bai Qingci carried the plastic bag, his heart settled down, and the whole person was a little more lively than just now, "What's your name?" "After walking for a long time, I still don't know the name of the creditor.

"Ning Xuecheng. A trip to the mountains, a trip to the snow. ”

Bai Qingci didn't understand much, but he still nodded facelessly, "Oh, my name is Bai Qingci, Qing Shui's Qing, and the words of words." She searched in her head for a long time, but she didn't come up with a single verse.

Ning Xuecheng listened to her jerky, curled her tongue and couldn't help asking, "Are you from Sichuan?" ”

Bai Qingci's face flushed, she has been studying in her hometown, the teacher has always spoken authentic Sichuan dialect in class, she came to Jincheng to learn to speak Mandarin. But nine years of accent can't be changed overnight, so she will try to talk as little as possible outside so as not to make jokes.

"Hmm."

Ning Xuecheng looked at her with a smile, "Your accent is so cute." ”

Bai Qingci thought that Ning Xuecheng would laugh at her, but she didn't expect him to praise her with a sincere face and a cute accent, she was happy and grateful, and looked at Ning Xuecheng gratefully.

Under the dim yellow light, her moist eyes were particularly smart, like a deer in the depths of the forest, and her eyes shone brightly.

Ning Xuecheng thought of the golden retriever dog she had raised, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, her cheeks with a little baby fat were soft, like marshmallows.

He licked his lips and wanted to bite.

His strength was gentle, Bai Qingci thought there was something dirty on his face, but when he touched it, he found that there was nothing, and looked at him inexplicably.

Ning Xuecheng let go of his hand without a trace, lowered his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Come to Jincheng to play?" ”

Bai Qingci shook his head, "Go to school." "My parents said that the teachers in the countryside were poor, and they took her back to the city to get a better education.

"What grade are you in?"

"Third grade."

When the two walked into the same elevator, Bai Qingci suddenly realized, "It turns out that we live in the same building." ”

Looking at the girl who realized it later, Ning Xuecheng couldn't help laughing, "That's right, I live in 705 and only moved here last week." ”

"My family is in 905, I'll come to you when I save enough money." Bai Qingci looked serious, as if he had taken an oath.

Ning Xuecheng muttered in a low voice, "If you don't have enough, you can come to me." ”

As he spoke, there was a "ding-" sound, and the seventh floor arrived.

Bai Qingci didn't hear what he said, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Good night, see you tomorrow!"

Without waiting for Bai Qing's words to say goodbye, the elevator quickly closed.

Ning Xuecheng had been standing at the elevator entrance, watching the red arrow on the outbound call board stop on the ninth floor before he turned around and left.

When Bai Qingci returned home, Tang Fengjuan was already hungry and heartburned, and when she saw her unhurried, her eyebrows were dyed with anger, "Are you going to starve me to death, you have a sad face all day long, you haven't run crazy enough during the day, right, if you can't pass the entrance exam, go back to the countryside by yourself, and farm with your second uncle for the rest of your life." ”

Bai Qingzi stood in the entrance like a stake, her mouth was stupid, and she didn't know how to justify, let alone say some soft words, so she just stood silently.

And in Tang Fengjuan's eyes, it was completely like the side oil and rice did not enter, and the anger did not come to one place, "Go and read the book!" If I knew that you were like this, I might as well have thrown the pit and drowned. ”

Bai Qingci seemed to have received a pardon, took three steps and made two steps, and walked back to the bedroom quickly.

She turned on the lamp on her desk, and as if nothing happened, she pulled out the comic book hidden under the textbook and continued to read. Tang Fengjuan often yelled at her, and there were many ugly words, and at the beginning she would cry quietly in the bed, but now she won't.

Although her heart was still sore, she didn't want to cry.

After reading the comic book, she gently walked to the back of the door, opened a thin slit to observe the situation outside, the living room was pitch black, she breathed a sigh of relief, took the water cup to the water dispenser and took a cup of warm water.

After drinking, she went back to the bedroom and hugged her vest and shorts, went into the bathroom alone, and halfway through the wash, Tang Fengjuan pushed the door in directly, and saw that she was covered in foam, and her whole face was black.

Although the shower gel is pressed, there is not much stock in it, so when Bai Qingci pressed it lightly for the first time, only air came out, and the second time she worked hard, a tube came out, and it was obviously unrealistic to pour it back, she wiped it all on her body with a weak heart, and she didn't want to be caught by Tang Fengjuan.

Tang Fengjuan sneered and sarcastically said, "How many times have you said it, just pour a little shower gel, are you here to collect debts, just eat like a hungry ghost, don't save anything, you treat me as my money growing from the ground!" ”

Bai Qingci didn't eat much, but he was used to not having a grain of rice left at the bottom of the bowl, but Tang Fengjuan didn't feel thrifty, but felt that she was a childish family, and she was as picky as her second uncle.

Tang Fengjuan pulled Bai Qingci over, took off the sprinkler, and then adjusted the amount of water to the maximum, rushing towards her body like a washing car.

Bai Qingzi dodged the meaning, and Tang Fengjuan slapped her shoulder blade with a palm.

"Don't move, stand still!"

Bai Qingci clenched her teeth in pain, she didn't dare to say anything, and let Tang Fengjuan move. Tang Fengjuan quickly helped her rinse it off, pulled the bath towel and rubbed it a few times, "Go out and wipe it yourself." With that, he pushed the man out.

Facing the misty mirror, Bai Qingci followed Tang Fengjuan's example, passed the bath towel through the limb socket, and surrounded it, but she tried several times and had to fall down, so she could only walk to the bedroom by herself.

Fortunately, Bai Wenqing went on a business trip, and Bai Jiajia went to Europe to participate in a summer camp, and no one saw her embarrassment.

Putting on her tank top and shorts, she stepped on a stool to hang the towel on a hanger, and then found a comic book in a drawer under the closet to pass the time.

Bai Qingci is not used to using a hair dryer, and she doesn't need a hair dryer in summer, her hair can dry quickly, and she has short hair, and when her hair dries, she can't wait to get into the air conditioner quilt and have a good night's sleep.
