Chapter 61: Will I Die?
Xu Bai glanced at him, and was silent at first.
But when Lu Yueping finished peeling a head of garlic and stretched his arm into the bucket, Xu Bai grabbed the garlic peel and scattered it to him.
For a while, the man's jet-black hair was covered with epidermis.
She scolded softly in the Hebei dialect: "Annoying! ”
Lu Yueping stretched out his hand and swept his hair and clothes, and said in the Heilongjiang dialect: "Recruit people to rest." ”
The two continued to peel garlic, choose vegetables, and worked with everyone all afternoon, took out their mobile phones from their pockets and took a few looks, WeChat text messages and calls were clean, and there was no news from Lu Kun throughout the afternoon.
A wave of disappointment swept over me.
Xu Bai didn't know what he was expecting.
It's been a long time since I've been in the habit of waiting for a person anymore.
She put the phone back in her pocket, and when she raised her eyes, Lu Yueping leaned against the wall between her cousin and his own house, pinched the cigarette butt with her fingers and took a puff and said, "Let's go, go to the third brother's house for dinner." ”
Xu Bai said lightly: "I said I wouldn't go a long time ago, how many times do you want me to say it?" ”
Lu Yueping smiled and said: "You also saw that I have a girlfriend, and I will marry someone as soon as Jiaying gets married." The third brother is not good at anything, so he is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. Whoever touches it will be responsible. ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Xu Bai frowned, he really didn't know what Lu Yueping was doing with her.
"Absolutely." Lu Yueping straightened his back: "I said these words to make you relax." Just have a meal, no malice. I told Jiaying that you are here too, and she told me to let you go to the house to sit down, it's as simple as that. Where do you think you're going? ”
Xu Baiyi frowned: "That's it?" ”
Lu Yueping glanced at her, stepped on the cigarette butt and said, "Of course it's more than that." ”
Xu Bai was almost speechless.
"You man, what kind of words can you hear?"
Lu Yueping took a step closer, and then a smile welled up in his nose.
The tall man looked in front of Xu Bai, he looked around, leaned his lips on the side of Xu Bai's ear and said, "My mother is old, I let you go to the house for dinner because I want you to help me say a few good words." You're following the archaeological team now, and you're a cultural person to my mom. She doesn't necessarily believe me when I say that no matter how well she lives outside, but you cultural people don't talk the same way. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Yueping straightened his back, and there was a little unspeakable loneliness in his smiling eyes.
She was stunned, and Lu Yueping sent a cigarette to her cousin and told her about going to his house for dinner, and then Xu Bai's wrist was ripped off by him.
After just a few steps, Xu Bai had already stepped into the door of Lu's house.
Lu Yueping's family pattern is the same as that of his aunt's cousin's house.
In the same village, it is estimated that the pattern of every household is almost the same, and the only difference is in the interior decoration.
His family is obviously not comparable to Xu Bai's relatives' house, the tables and chairs are all painted, and the pile of shoes piled up in the corner looks old, and there is a thick layer of ash on them, and they are not willing to throw them away. The broom is made of straw, the wall is hung with a hat that is not very common in the city, and the concrete floor is uneven in a few places, and the overall impression is quite backward.
In fact, Lu Yueping sends money to his old mother every month, but he thinks that Lu's mother's wife died early, and he lives a simple life alone, and he is unwilling to re-toss and decorate, which is completely understandable.
Lu Yueping pulled Xu Bai to the front hall, hooked a chair for Xu Bai to sit on with his foot, and then shouted to the stove room: "Mother, Xu Bai is here." ”
At this shout, soon an old man dressed plainly walked out with his arm held by Lu Yueping's girlfriend.
He was more than one meter and fifty, with gray hair, slightly hunched back, a gray bib tied around his waist, and squinted at Xu Bai.
After looking at it for a while, she turned her head and asked her son, "Yue Ping, is she the female doll of a relative next door?" ”
Lu Yueping said: "It's her." ”
The corners of his wrinkled mouth raised: "Have you grown so tall?" It looks so good, it's even more beautiful than when I was a child. ”
Xu Bai looked at Lu Yueping's mother, and felt a lot of embarrassment in his heart.
After all, she has no memories of the Lu family, but Lu Yueping and his mother both remember her.
Could this be the real reason why Lu Yueping pestered her repeatedly?
Before he had time to think about it, Xu Bai had been greeted to the dinner table.
Because of the guests at home, Lu's mother had already prepared a lot of dishes to entertain her future daughter-in-law and Xu Bai.
During the meal, Lu's mother asked a lot about her son.
Xu Bai didn't want to hurt the old man's heart, so he said everything better.
The old man was even more emotionally fragile, and his eyes suddenly became wet as he spoke.
She took Xu Bai's hand and said: "It's not easy for Yue Ping to be in the field, you two have known each other since childhood, if Yue Ping does something in the future, you must pull him." A few years ago, in order to make money, when he returned to China, no one was a ghost, and he felt distressed when he saw it. He is not like you, he has not read for a few years, and it is not easy to eat in this world. ”
Xu Bai said that Lu Jiaying had gone abroad for two years and hadn't made any money, so he returned to China, but she didn't ask at the time.
Now Lu Ma's sentence is not a ghost or a ghost, but it reminds Xu Bai of something.
She took a bite of food into her mouth and asked, "What country did he go to?" ”
Lu's mother was asked, as if she couldn't remember where her son went abroad for a while, at this time Lu Yueping picked up the wine glass, and after a sip, he said: "Canada." City of Waterloo. ”
Xu Bai's heart seemed to suddenly fall with a heavy hammer, and his face suddenly turned pale.
She asked again: "Why didn't you go back to China and not be a ghost?" ”
Not for anything else, just because Lu Yueping's experience seems to be surprisingly consistent with what Liang Dong said about Lu Kun.
At this time, Lu Yueping's girlfriend also grabbed his arm, showed a distressed expression and asked, "Yes, Yueping, what's the matter?" I would like to know too. ”
Lu Yueping picked up the wine bottle, poured a full glass and said, "Let the dog be harmed." ”
He took a sip, unusually bold, as if nothing had happened to him.
After the meal, Xu Bai returned to his relatives' house.
After helping her make some groceries, she went to the backyard of the house, and by this time it was already dark.
There are a few big white geese in the yard, which are surrounded by a fence wall.
Xu Bai took a few rotten vegetable leaves from the vegetable basket outside the fence wall and threw them into the fence wall.
A few white geese instantly surrounded and grabbed it.
Xu Bai smiled unconsciously, and continued to throw vegetable leaves inside.
It didn't take long for the sound of water to pass by my ears.
She turned her head to see that Lu Yueping was facing away from her, holding up a big red bucket and pouring water on her body.
At the position of the shoulder blades, the muscle line is very deep, and the waist of the blue boxer pants is extremely low, revealing most of the word 'crazy' in the side waist injury.
In recent years, if men had tattoos, they would have long since tattooed such rustic characters.
Thinking about it, Lu Yueping must have committed a lot of troubles when he was young.
After a while, his girlfriend also walked to the backyard and hugged the wet Lu Yueping directly.
He was unceremonious, and his mouth was like a wolf-like kiss.
Xu Bai saw that the couple was tired of being together again, so he hurriedly left the backyard.
At nine o'clock in the evening, my cousin called her downstairs to help with something.
She said through the door, "Uncle Cousin, I'm not feeling well, I want to sleep." ”
Xu Bai's voice didn't sound right, and his cousin immediately called his wife.
The cousin pushed the door in, touched Xu Bai's forehead, and there were obvious signs of fever.
Xu Bai had dinner at Lu Yueping's house in the evening, so his cousin thought of going to the next door to call Lu Yueping for help.
The two were entangled in bed, and Xu Bai's cousin had a very loud voice, shouting about Xu Bai's fever downstairs.
The sturdy body that pressed against the girl was instantly withdrawn.
Lu Yueping picked up his clothes from the ground and slipped them onto his body.
"Why are you like that?" The girl covered herself with a quilt.
Lu Yueping didn't say anything, and rushed downstairs regardless of it.
He pushed open Xu Bai's door with a cigarette in his mouth, only to see Xu Bai in pajamas lying on the bed, his two white thighs holding the quilt, and his forehead squeaked and sweated.
The cigarette on Lu Yueping's mouth formed a large amount of soot, and it naturally landed on the ground when he strode closer to Xu Bai.
He bit the butt of his cigarette and picked Xu Bai up from the bed.
When he had a fever, his hot body temperature was directly attached to Lu Yueping's arm.
Xu Bai's cousin stood behind Lu Yueping and said, "I'm too busy to leave, Ah Ping, you quickly send her to the town hospital to have a look." ”
Lu Yueping tightened his arm: "Give me the car keys." ”
The cousin went downstairs with him, and then handed Lu Yueping the keys to a Land Rover.
He stuffed people into the car and went straight to the town hospital.
When the doctor asked Xu Bai where she was uncomfortable, she closed her eyes and said in a daze: "I let the dog bite a few days ago, and I should have received the third shot of the vaccine today." Is it because of this fever? ”
As soon as these words came out, the hospital in the town could no longer take it for granted that Xu Bai had a cold and fever.
The doctor said, "Yo, it's really unfortunate, I don't know what brand of vaccine you took before, so I don't dare to give you random vaccination." After speaking, he said to Lu Yueping: "You take her to the city, the city has good facilities and inspections in place." ”
Xu Bai frowned, his whole face flushed.
Lu Yueping looked at her very uncomfortable, and there were deep wrinkles in the center of her eyebrows.
He glared at the doctor and scolded: "Dog egg, you can't do this little thing, you can blow it up one day." ”
With a bend of his back, he picked up Xu Bai and drove to the city.
Driving on a rampage, arrogant.
Xu Bai's head leaned against the glass window and said weakly, "Will I die?" ”
Lu Yueping glanced at her: "This thing just happened to collide together, so it was inevitable to associate with each other." Ho, if it's really because of rabies, Lord Yama will have to put you back when he sees you sitting next to the third brother. ”
He said calmly, but the car's yardage gauge had soared to one hundred and fourteen.
Several police motorcycles chased after the car behind him, and Lu Yueping also turned a blind eye.
At the other end of Harbin City, Lu Kun got out of a heavily overloaded bus and raised his hand to look at his watch, the time was ten o'clock in the evening.
On the train last night, when Xu Bai told Lu Kun that he had met Lu Yueping on the train, Lu Kun inquired about the fastest route and suitable ticket source early in the morning.
Because of the vacancy of air tickets to Harbin City, he could only take a plane to the next province first, and then transfer to a bus to Harbin City.
The bus broke down temporarily and was delayed for several hours, so it arrived in Harbin City at this point.
Lu Kun raised the phone and dialed Xu Bai's number, but no one answered.
Not long after hanging up the phone, the phone of the leader of the archaeological institute kept flying in.
Lu Kun had already pressed dozens of calls during the day, and this time he was really annoyed, so he picked it up.
An old and powerful scolding voice immediately hit the eardrums: "At such a critical moment, you actually said to leave?" Don't you know how much effort you have put in and how much suffering you have endured in the past few years? What the hell is going on now? My wife just went to another place for a funeral dinner, is she so relieved? Don't think I'll dare to let you leave the archaeological institute if you do this nonsense! ”
Lu Kun's eyes were cold and transparent, and the knuckles of the hand holding the mobile phone rattled.
"I just can't rest assured. Listen, I will stay in Hebei for the past few years just for her. Don't say that I was asked to leave the archaeological institute, even if I don't do this for the rest of my life, I admit it. ”
