In Qin Province in August, the heat wave is rolling.

When Wang Xie stepped on the land of his hometown again after getting off the plane, a familiar and reassuring feeling instantly rose from the bottom of his heart, maybe this is nostalgia.

However, Wang Xie didn't feel it for a few seconds, and even climbed into the taxi parked at his feet.

There is no way, the mother in her hometown is too enthusiastic, Wang Xie just stood here for a while, and the sweat was almost soaking through her clothes.

Waiting for the taxi and feeling the coolness of the air conditioner in the car, Wang Xie groaned comfortably.

"Guy, go to Ada?" The driver saw Wang Xie get into the car and closed the door, so he asked in a thick Guanzhong dialect while starting smoothly.

"Acropolis, Changganli, hurry up, there's something." Wang Xie heard the familiar local accent, and also replied in standard Guanzhong dialect.

"Motor, sit down, I'm going to take off." The driver heard that Wang Xie was from Qin Province and was also a musician, and then he also smiled kindly with Wang Xie.

"That's right, it's a little far to the Acropolis, I can't make up the table, you can give 200 when the time comes." Seeing that Wang Xie was a local, the driver reminded him again in Guanzhong dialect.

"It's okay, it's a little bit of a thing." Wang Xie also nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Wang Xie chatted casually with the driver, while silently thinking about the next plan.

This time, he returned to Changganli without informing his sister and mother, and had no intention of returning home immediately.

Because he found something very familiar from Zhao Ji's newly changed avatar, he concluded that Zhao Ji was in Qin Province, on the Acropolis.

And the familiar thing that Wang Xie saw was actually the tree in the background of Zhao Ji's avatar, to be exact, this is a plane tree.

He was all too familiar with the tree, because it was where he grew up urinating and mud and catching cicadas.

During the Chinese New Year, he and Liu Qin'er also took a group photo here. At that time, the tree was bare, completely covered with snow, but now the tree has been revitalized, lush and lush.

But Zhao Ji, why did she come here? Are you here to find your sister? Then why did my sister ask where Zhao Ji was?

Countless questions swirled in Wang Xie's heart.

"Guy, it's good." Just when Wang Xie was immersed in his own thoughts, the driver's uncle braked, and then turned his head to Wang Xie and said.

Wang Xie was shocked to realize that it had arrived.

He is directly from Xianyang Airport to the Weicheng city area, and it is not a black taxi from Chang'an Railway Station, so 200 is a completely fair price.

However, looking at this hot day, the driver drove nearly 100 kilometers in one go, and Wang Xie still took most of the 100 yuan bills.

After handing the money to the driver, Wang Xie nodded at the driver: "Okay, thank you, uncle, it's really good to drive the car, you don't need to look for more drops, when I give the thank you fee." ”

"Oh, you guy is still very atmospheric, thank you, take the car and look for me, I promise to be fast and stable." The driver took the money, said a few more words to Wang Xie, and then waved goodbye, and drove away again with one foot on the accelerator.

Wang Xie, who got out of the car, slowly walked to the shade of the plane tree, patted the trunk of the big tree like an old friend meeting, and then squinted his eyes and looked around.

Unfortunately, the noon of the summer day was too hot and dry, and there was hardly a single person around, only the noisy chirping of cicadas one after another.

Wang Xie walked along the long trunk, from the beginning to the end, wanting to see the familiar figure.

But unfortunately, except for the occasional passerby, there is no longer a single figure in the entire long trunk.

"Maybe it's too hot, she's in the hotel now." Wang Xie had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

But it's all here, Wang Xie has an attitude of just in case, and simply looks along the main road and looks for several streets around, maybe where is Zhao Ji wandering?

This walk took more than 2 hours, and Wang Xie almost searched all over the area, and he didn't find any shadow of Zhao Ji.

It's already half past five in the afternoon, and poor Wang Xie has not even eaten a bite of food since he went out from the company in the morning, and he has already been hungry.

After distinguishing the environment, Wang Xie found that he had actually walked to a small river.

This small river Wang Xie is also very familiar, the locals call this place Chishui River, Wang Xie and Wang Li and other friends often hide from their families, secretly come here to swim and bathe.

And here, in fact, the straight-line distance from Changganli is not far, and it will only take ten minutes to walk, which means that Wang Xie has already gone around a big circle, and he will soon go back to Changganli.

Wang Xie remembers that there was a small shop here, and when they were children, they used to frequent, and the owner was also a resident of the Changganli neighborhood, and Wang Xie and his group of children called him Grandpa Li, an amiable old man.

Looking around, Wang Xie found that the small shop in his memory was still there, and it was not far away, and he was thirsty and tired and planned to buy a bottle of water first, but his throat was about to smoke.

"Boss, have a bottle of mineral water." Maybe it's still hot at this point, and the people who watch the shop may still be resting in the back room, so Wang Xie stood at the door of the small shop and shouted.

"Come on, do you want to take it yourself?" A young male voice came from inside, followed by the sound of getting up and footsteps.

Wang Xie stood in front of the freezer, took a bottle of mineral water in his hand, and turned around to pay.

When the shopkeeper who came out saw his face clearly, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then shouted in surprise: "Wang Xie, you are back!" ”

And Wang Xie also looked at the shopkeeper opposite in surprise: "Li Huo? You're even at home? ”

Li Huo, the grandson of the store owner Grandpa Li, is two or three years older than Wang Xie, and he often played with Wang Xie when he was a child, so he can be regarded as a childhood playmate.

"Hi, there's been a change in work recently, I'll come back and rest for a few days." Li Huo was also very happy when he saw Wang Xie come back.

Wang Xie nodded, then looked inside the house, and asked curiously at Li Huo: "By the way, what about Grandpa Li, why didn't I see him." ”

Li Huo heard Wang Xie's inquiry, and his mood was also a little low: "I'm old, my health is a little bad, and I'm recuperating in the back room." ”

Wang Xie nodded, according to the time calculation, the old man is also over 80 years old, and it is normal for him to feel a little uncomfortable.

And Li Huo slightly collected the expression on his face, smiled again and said to Wang Xie: "Forget it, don't talk about my grandfather, I heard that you are doing well in Jidu City, why did you come back, is it a vacation?" ”

When Wang Xie heard Li Huo's question, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly: "No, I'll come back to find someone." ”

Looking at Wang Xie's helpless expression, Li Huo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the gossipy Chao Wang Xie asked, "It's a woman, right?" What, I quarreled with my daughter-in-law? ”

As soon as he asked, Li Huo felt that something seemed wrong: "No, your daughter-in-law should go back to her parents' house after quarreling with you, why did she go back to your house?" Your daughter-in-law is from our local area? Didn't I hear my family say that you are holding a wedding at home? ”

Wang Xie shook his head, this kind of small place is like this, generally marriage is related to human relations, so if someone gets married, then people within a radius of a few kilometers will know.

"Not my daughter-in-law." Wang Xie shook his head and denied it, but Wang Xie still asked casually: "Have you seen a girl at home recently, by the way, she has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes." ”

"I haven't seen it." Li Huo shook his head.

"However, if it's a girl," Li Huo pouted in the direction of the river embankment dam, "where is there a seat." ”

Wang Xie turned around, and 200 meters away, under the shade of the trees on the Chishui River dam, there was indeed a girl sitting.

Subsequently.

Li Huo saw that Wang Xie ran without warning, and looked at which girl was indeed heading for the direction.

However, Li Huo then found that the mineral water that Wang Xie took out from the freezer just now was still on the counter, and the cold bottle had become wet at room temperature.

Li Huo couldn't help shouting at Wang Xie's back.

"Water, water, you didn't take water."
