Yuan Yifei rushed out of the academy all the way, until he stood at the entrance of the bustling street, and he looked around blankly.

Suddenly, he didn't know where he should go when the world was so big.

In Zilang, he only has Bai Yun's three friends, who eat, play and make trouble together.

I thought they would go on like this forever.

But reality slapped him hard.

He walked aimlessly.

A cool breeze blew the broken hair on his forehead, and the faint fragrance of peach blossoms lingered on the tip of his nose, and he found himself by the bamboo bridge of Tongwuhe.

The process of building bridges together a few days ago is still vivid.

I don't want to, it's not a thing.

He broke a willow branch, put his feet through the gap in the bamboo railing, and sat on the bridge deck, dangling the willow branch in despair.

There was a sound of slow footsteps from Zhuqiao, he thought it was Bai Yun and they were chasing after him, he lowered the corners of his mouth that was a little excited, and said coldly without raising his head: "Go away, I don't want to see you!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and Fu walked towards him again.

Yuan Yifei frowned and raised his head, and saw an old face, he was surprised and lost: "It's you." ”

Old Village Chief Zhao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young man, did you quarrel with someone?" ”

Yuan Yifei was full of grievances and sadness at this time, and was asked by the old man lovingly and with a smile, suddenly his eyes were astringent, he panicked and put aside his gaze, stared at the water, and said duplicitously: "No, I, I'm just bored to go shopping." ”

Old Village Chief Zhao did not debunk his clumsy acting skills, and brought up a new topic with a smile: "A few days ago, you helped everyone build this new bridge, which is wider and stronger than the original one, and the villagers are very grateful to you, and they have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you." ”

Yuan Yifei lowered his head and said in a sullen voice: "I damaged your bridge, and I should have given you a new seat." ”

The old village chief Zhao said with a smile: "In fact, the old bridge has been built for many years, the bridge is unstable, there are signs of loosening, without you, sooner or later it will collapse one day, no matter what, you have helped several nearby villages a lot." ”

As soon as the words fell, an old woman passed by with a basket and recognized the old village chief Zhao, and after greeting her, she learned that Yuan Yifei was one of the young people who built the bridge at that time, she lifted the cover on the basket, grabbed a mulberry, and stuffed it into Yuan Yifei's hand.

The old woman patted the back of his hand: "Young man, thanks to you, you have benefited our township, a little heart, don't dislike it." ”

The old woman was too enthusiastic, Yuan Yifei couldn't react at all, and the person had already walked away through the bamboo bridge with the basket.

Yuan Yifei looked down at the fruit in his hand, a little at a loss.

Old Village Chief Zhao let out a good-natured laugh and chatted with him.

"You don't seem to be from Jiangnan?"

"I came here from the Imperial Capital to study."

Yuan Yifei picked one and threw it into his mouth, the sweet juice was full, and he couldn't help but pick a few more and eat it.

"And what does your dad do?"

"My father is an official."

Old Village Chief Zhao nodded: "That must be a good official." ”

Yuan Yifei remembered what his father had done in the imperial capital, and lowered his head and hooked the corners of his lips mockingly: "Why did the village chief say that?" ”

Old Village Chief Zhao replied with a smile: "Because he has cultivated a son who knows his mistakes and corrects, is smart and has strong hands-on ability." ”

The mulberry burst in his fingertips, and the purple-red juice flowed down his fingertips, and he didn't even notice it.

"Village chief, you don't have to comfort me, I'm just a waste who eats and waits for death."

Old Village Chief Zhao has seen too many children like him, at a young age, pretending to deny their undeveloped life every day.

Old Village Chief Zhao said with a smile in that experienced voice: "Your life has just begun, why do you want to define yourself so early?" ”
