Chapter Twenty-Seven: Going Out
On the afternoon of the next day, under the scorching sun, Lu You wore water shoes and rubber gloves on his hands, stepping on a small stream that was still quite clear.
The Juanjuan stream shines in the sun, clear and translucent. Occasionally, a pair of hands will reach into the water, causing a wave of cloudiness, and then a plastic bottle will be lifted out of the water.
As far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen boys, evenly distributed throughout the creek, all doing the same thing.
Lu You picked up a worn-out mineral water bottle, shook off the water stains, then pinched it flat and threw it into a sack, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm.
A boy in front of Lu You straightened up, crossed his waist, and said angrily, "Squad leader, how long will it take to pick it up?" It's been more than an hour, and I'm almost getting sunburned. ”
Lu You lowered his head to pick up the garbage and asked him, "Are you embarrassed to complain?" Didn't you have a good chat last night? ”
"Ugh." The boy was choked, his eyes wandered, and he immediately changed the topic, "Eh, squad leader, who is that one in your second class?" ”
Lu You still didn't raise his head, searched in the stream intently, and replied calmly: "No one, don't listen to Meng Yi's rumors." People read books for themselves, and there is nothing for others. ”
The boy pursed his lips, not very satisfied with his answer, "How can you talk like my parents, and you will talk about some big truths." ”
"Maybe that's the truth?"
After Lu You finished speaking, he glanced at everyone. At this time, everyone was in a low mood, and he could only cheer up and say: "After picking up the garbage that can be seen on the surface, you can go to rest and work hard!" ”
"Okay." The group responded weakly.
Half an hour later.
All the members of dormitory 208 sat under a large tree in the village square. There are also gloves and water shoes that have been changed out and cleaned next to them.
"Ah~" Meng Yi picked up his clothes with one hand, picked up mineral water with the other hand and poured a sip, and then complained: "Originally, there was only hand and leg pain in the morning, but now it's better, and my back hurts." ”
Lu You picked up a small fan and stuffed it into the hem of his clothes, and his clothes were blown up.
"Isn't your family farming, can this tire you?"
"It's numb, who farms the land every day? I also sow seeds, and I need to do it when I harvest the crops, and I usually do it. As he spoke, he poured mineral water on both arms in turn to cool himself.
Lu You raised his head and glanced around, except for the students in military uniforms, there were only some old people sitting at the door of their huts, holding big pu fans in their hands, and they kept babbling something.
Lu You asked Meng Yi, "Are there so few people in the countryside?" ”
"yes." Meng Yi replied affirmatively, "There are no job opportunities in the countryside, and now that school has started, there are basically not many people to see." ”
Lu You glanced at the village road again, and paved a layer of stones, and some students could still hear the rustling sound when they walked by, so he asked him again: "Is it not convenient for you to go out of the village usually?" ”
"It's okay, there are cement roads in my village, and there are electric cars at home, so it's very convenient to travel."
Meng Yi thought for a while and added: "It's just that express delivery and takeaway are inconvenient. The courier has to be picked up by himself, and the takeaway is basically gone. ”
Lu You thought of his villa area, it seems to be similar, located in the suburbs, there are few takeaways, and the express delivery is better, if he is at home, he can still let the security guard release and send it in, and if he is not at home, he can only take it at the security booth.
"My home is similar, the geographical location is a bit remote, and I basically need transportation to get in and out."
"At least I can go home every day, I live on campus, and I only go home once a month."
After hearing this, Lu You felt a little strange, "Are the school conditions not good?" I remember the dormitory was pretty nice. ”
"No matter how good the conditions are, it's not my own home. How can there be a comfortable home? ”
After the group rested for a while, Instructor Liu came over, looked at Lu You and asked.
"Are you done picking up the trash?"
"After picking it up, it's all thrown to the garbage collection."
The instructor nodded, "Yes, it's quite fast." Come and assemble, the gloves are kept here, and someone in the village will come to collect them. ”
……
Lu You returned to the head of the company, slapped his stiff shoulder twice, and then yawned, with a lot of exhaustion on his face.
Seeing him like this, Li Yu asked curiously, "What did you do?" Isn't it just to visit the cultural scene here, and you can still be tired like this? ”
Lu You gave him a look, (¬_¬)
"You're here to visit, but I'm here to pick up garbage."
"Why are you picking up trash?"
"Ugh." Lu You sighed and said melancholy: "The people in the dormitory turned off the lights and chatted last night and were caught. ”
After listening, Li Yu showed a look of clarity on his face, "I said why so many people walked in the corridor last night, it turned out to be you." ”
"I didn't go to bed until one or two o'clock in the morning, I got up before six o'clock to raise the flag, and now I have to pick up garbage, I don't have to play, and everyone is numb."
Suddenly, Lu You felt as if someone was pulling the corner of his clothes from behind. When I looked back, I found that it was a girl who was about the same height as myself.
The girl was white and clean, with a slight flush on her cheeks, and when she saw Lu You turn her head, she quickly lowered her head again, pinching the corners of her clothes with her fingers, and looked very nervous.
Lu You waited for a long time, but he didn't see her speak, so he could only speak first.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Hmm." The girl replied very quietly.
If it weren't for Lu You's better hearing, he really wouldn't have heard it.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
The girl took a deep breath, as if she had made some decision, raised her head sharply, and said quickly, "Can you tell me your name?" ”
That's it?
Lu You's heart was full of confusion, and asking for a name was just like something big had happened. However, he showed no other emotions on his face, and replied to her normally.
"My name is Lu You."
"Okay, thanks, goodbye!" After speaking, he turned around and left quickly, without any mud and water.
Lu You was dumbfounded, didn't react at all, and asked Li Yu with a confused expression.
"What's going on? What happened? ”
Li Yu was also confused, "How do I know?" I've never seen anything like it. ”
The girls standing behind Lu You heard their conversation and couldn't help laughing, covering their mouths and laughing.
One of the girls even laughed and said, "Class leader, it turns out that you don't understand anything!" ”
Lu You was inexplicably aggrieved, turned his head and asked, "What do I need to know?" ”
The girl shook her head, "No...... It's nothing, it's just that we have some misunderstanding about you, and it's best if you still don't understand. ”
Lu You was speechless, this is the same as not saying it.
……
On the way back to the military training base, Tang Wanzheng was talking and laughing with other girls, Xu Nian was sure that she was not paying attention to herself, so she squeezed to the front of the team alone and patted Li Yu on the shoulder.
"Li Yu, I have a few questions for you."
Li Yu lowered his gaze, glanced at her, and said, "Ask." I'll say it's not about privacy. ”
Xu Nian thought for a while, and then spoke: "How long have you known him?" ”
"Who? Lu You"
"It's him." Xu Nian nodded.
"It's been six or seven years, and you're trying to ask him about it?"
Xu Nian looked at the direction of the third class, Lu You led the team in front of the team, and from time to time the girls behind him would say something to him, and he would occasionally reply with a sentence or two.
"Well, he'...... When he was in junior high school, what was it like at school? Xu Nian originally wanted to ask him what kind of person he was, but he didn't feel that it was suitable, so he asked instead.
Li Yu recalled for a moment and said slowly: "If you are at school, be quiet, introverted, and low-key. ”
Xu Nian's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't think of Lu You's introverted appearance.
"You didn't lie to me? People who sing calmly on stage are introverted? ”
"I didn't lie to you, when he was in junior high school, he was like this at school, but of course not in other places. Normally, he is still quite active and talkative, but he has to have acquaintances. ”
"Why is this happening?" Xu Nian couldn't understand.
"The requirements of the family, and the environment of the school. I can't tell you the details, if you want to know, just ask for yourself. ”
Xu Nian narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "How does it feel like a novel, is your family complicated?" ”
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, our family is very simple, we are all a father and a mother, there is no cheating, no second marriage." ”
"Okay." Since he couldn't find any information in this regard, Xu Nian changed the topic, "What do you usually do?" ”
"Play board games, play Apex, LOL, and watch a movie once in a while."
Yes? It's similar to my interests!
Xu Nian was a little surprised, "I'll do these too, next time you take me one?" ”
Li Yu looked back with suspicion, "Really? ”
"Didn't I play board games with you when school started, and I forgot?"
"Like, I thought you were just here to have some fun."
Xu Nian was very happy, his tone was full of excitement, and he felt that he had found a fellow believer, "Do you have many friends?" Would you mind taking me one next time you play? ”
Li Yu was silent for a while, "There are only two of us." ”
"Two people playing board games?" Xu Nian couldn't believe it, and teased him: "What's so fun about two people? Fight the landlord is one less person, do you play with the train? ”
"Uh......" Li Yu was very embarrassed and didn't know how to reply to her, "Let's buy it back, thinking that we can play with a few more friends." ”
"And then?"
"It's still two people."
"Hahaha~" Xu Nianxiao's tears came out. "One brought board games to break the ice at the beginning of school, and the other looked like a sea king, but I didn't expect it to be two social fear otaku!"
Li Yu hurriedly pulled her in front of him and said anxiously, "Don't laugh!" Everyone else has seen it! ”
"Ahem...... Xu Nian took a few deep breaths to control his emotions, "No, don't you have many friends in junior high school?" ”
Li Yu was helpless and had a headache, "You are not us, it is difficult to say clearly." Then his eyes were a little dim, "Those people in junior high school, for us, really don't know each other." ”
Xu Nian noticed that Li Yu's mood was abnormal, and said in a slightly soothing tone: "Hey, junior high school has passed, so I don't care about it." What about high school, are high school people much better than junior high school? ”
"No one knew us in high school, and everyone had the idea of studying, which was naturally much better than in junior high school." Li Yu added one more sentence in his heart: There is no limit to the family members.
Xu Nian touched Li Yu with his elbow, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said to him: "You can call me one when the board game opens in the future, and I will come when I have time, although there are few people, at least it is a good start." ”
The girl's smile was like a breeze, blowing into Li Yu's heart, causing ripples, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her head, but she couldn't speak, and finally it only converged into a gentle look between her eyebrows, and a sentence.
"Okay, I remember."
