Chapter 13: The Deceased

.… When the sun sprinkled the sky from the rear, the water of the Yangtze River in the flood season is rushing all the way to the east with the majesty of the ten thousand merits, the flood season of 98 years has only given birth to a great flood that is rare in a hundred years, and this year's water potential is also quite amazing, of course, if you look at it from a distance, under this peaceful sunset, the whole river still seems very quiet;

The raft is four meters wide and more than eight meters long. Compared with the general bamboo raft to give people the first impression of light and dexterity, this bamboo raft is like three layers of ordinary bamboo rafts stacked together, it has more than one layer of water on the river surface, but there are about ten centimeters protruding from the river surface, even if the water is turbulent, it will not let the surface of the bamboo raft be easily submerged.

In the center of the raft are two large and one small, tents, the doors of the tents are open opposite to each other, and in the middle is a large box. This strangely shaped bamboo raft travels eastward along the rushing water. No matter how fast it was, it was so smooth that it didn't shake too much. To be honest, the most surprising thing about this is probably mustard, this kind of weather bamboo raft into the water, no rich experience in boating, a better end is probably the bamboo raft bumping around, or spinning in the center of the river floating, if the luck is not good, the raft destruction is predictable, who knows that after the water, the operation of the bamboo raft is surprisingly simple, let the left to the left, let the right to the right, not to mention her, even the coral in the back fiddling around, the bamboo raft can turn according to her meaning, it is really confusing.

The explanation given by Coral and Lan Zi is that the bamboo raft is very heavy, so it is easy to operate, and the other is the rationality of the structure. In fact, of course, the reason for everything naturally comes down to Lan Zi, he can fly in the sky with a big box on his back, and now of course he can control the bamboo raft to float forward like a motor, the purpose is just to keep it stable, and it doesn't require him to spend too much effort at all.

Once the boat was launched, the degree became extraordinarily fast, and within two days it had passed through two cities, several small towns by the river, since the degree was so fast. They don't have to worry about food, they can buy fast food at any time they dock, and the three of them play poker around the box, play the game of Monopoly that they always carry with them, and occasionally pass by the town, or when there are other boats on the river, this strange bamboo raft can attract a lot of curious eyes. Wasabi often worries that someone claiming to be from the Wang Agricultural Department or other relevant departments will come and stop them in a speedboat, warning them that it is dangerous or fine, but fortunately, this kind of thing has not been troubled

The sunset turned from golden yellow to red, in sight. The silhouette of the nearby city can already be seen, the lush trees on both sides of the river, with the raft traveling, you can often see the roads and vehicles shuttling through the forest, and occasionally there are fertile fields and villages, because of the boredom of floating on the raft for three days, the three decided to rest in the city for a day, so they tied the bamboo raft to the shore on the outskirts of the city, packed their luggage, and walked into the city. Bamboo rafts are thrown here. There's no need to worry about it for now, and no one wants it.

The city we stopped at this time was named Luzhou. It's a medium-sized city that relies on shipping, and although it doesn't seem to be a big one, the buildings are beautiful, and I was going to stay here for one night. Buy some supplies tomorrow and leave in the evening, but in the end they didn't act according to such a plan, Lan Zi and Wasabi met an acquaintance here, and they met such a thing as a foreign country, and they were friends who separated when they were young, which is really a coincidence.

The next day mustard in the accommodation near one, the market set up a stall selling ornaments, mainly coral these days with the mustard to learn to weave things, seriously out of three good handmade, in all fairness, although the coral girl has poor motor nerves, but if you concentrate on making small items on the hand, it is really eye-catching, because of this reason, coral pestered the two to set up a stall, and put the ornaments she made in the most conspicuous position, in order to find someone who knows how to appreciate, in the process of setting up a stall, Naturally, she inevitably held the guitar to play and sing to fulfill her dream of being a wandering singer.

But the luck of this day was not good, a few things were sold, but none of them were the works of Sango, and although it was fun for Little Loro to sing or something, there was no one who was willing to throw money into the guitar case. Near evening, when Lan Zi went to sell a boxed lunch, a group of young people came to buy accessories, but in fact, they talked to Wasabi, asked for their name, age or something, and drove a car for the person to look rich, probably thinking that the two of them came out to sell things, and they must have a bad family background.

Those few people seemed to be walking freely, and after leaving, they were probably a little unwilling to look at the appearance of the mustard, and for a while they just sat in the car and looked at this side, to this. At that time, the coral also gave up. Holding the guitar and playing it for a while, I was bored and sang "Little Cabbage" there.

Little cabbage, yellow in the ground! At the age of two or three, there is no mother, follow my father, and live together! Daddy is dead. Alone" sang and sang like this, seeing Lan Zi coming over with a lunch box, she stood up and waved her hand, "Lan Cui Lan Zi, hurry up!" Sister Wasabi and I are starving to death! ”

These words were shouted too loudly, and when Lan Zi came over with a lunch box, one also ran out of the car over there. The person, wearing glasses, was very happy: "Isn't it, Lan Zi and mustard?" My Xiaodong, winter melon! Remember? "Erchan was stunned for a while, and the mustard was originally only for that group of people, and everyone was stunned at the time?

After that, it was naturally the situation of old friends meeting each other, and the man nicknamed Winter Melon was also a friend in the orphanage before, one year older than Wasabi, and he also read the same year as Lan Zi in elementary school, but at this time, it seemed that he was much more mature than the two. With this relationship, he repeatedly said things like "misunderstanding, misunderstanding, that's my buddy, a misunderstanding", and reintroduced the two sides to meet.

This aspect of the orphanage, in fact, is far from being comparable to ordinary friendship, even if there is not much friendship in the orphanage before, and they are adopted in the future, if they can meet again, they generally treat each other as relatives, which is human nature; Lan Zi didn't know what the misunderstanding was, and the mustard also temporarily let go of Fang Cai's mustard, only Coral was very unhappy with a wrinkled little face next to him, and after the two sides introduced each other, the three of them probably knew that the other party was called Tang Kai, and there was one in the family. A large company, a shipping company, and the rest of the people also have good family backgrounds in Luzhou, including Dong, and the family who adopted him seems to be a rich man, so he can mix with these people.

There is Xiaodong as the middleman, and the other party also put on a rather cordial face, when Xiaodong invited the three of them to his house to rest, and by the way, there will be a small party to participate in tonight, Lan Zi, who has no guilt, agreed to come down, and the mustard originally wanted to refuse, so forget it. When Coral quietly told him that Tang Kai's gang seemed to have taken a fancy to Wasabi, they had already followed Xiaodong into the car and went all the way to Xiaodong's villa.

"Uh, pick-up?" After arriving at the villa, Lan Zi had time to ask Coral about the situation.

"Well, it's ugly anyway, those people came over and didn't buy anything, ask this and that, Sister Wasabi was very angry just now, your friend named Xiaodong is not a good person, Net, just when he said that there was a party, you didn't pay attention to the expressions of the rest of the people, that Tang Kai didn't know anything at first, and then nodded desperately. The girl frowned, "Maybe these rich young masters want to make some overlord bow hard, or call us over and drugged us in the water or something, it's really perverted,"

Coral has always been only able to listen to three points, but one thing is for sure, Coral and Wasabi are probably not very impressed by this group. Lan Cui thought about it, probably because these people came to talk to mustard when they saw that it was beautiful, and then they were driven away, although they felt a little uncomfortable, but in the past, mustard was very popular, and they received love letters at school, and Shi Juncheng found his own ballast for her, and he also experienced it; However, this kind of person may not be a bad person, take a step back, even if he is not a good person, he naturally can't say that the coral said this step, otherwise they wouldn't have just treated mustard as a "people's girl" to "rob".

He shook his head, putting the temporary unhappiness behind him. He was also a little distressed: "No matter what. I've already agreed, it's not good to leave like this, let's stay for one night tonight Xiaodong "Hehe, he's actually a good person when he's honest, and he's always bullied. In fact, he was taller than me at that time, because someone bullied him, and I helped him fight several times;

While she was talking, the mustard that put her and the little girl's things in the other bedroom also walked in, seeing this), she hurriedly asked a few words, and then smiled, a little helpless: "Yes, it's not good to leave immediately, stay for one night, let's leave tomorrow Xiaodong he, it seems that he is doing quite well, this villa is so big, she opened the curtains and looked out, "It's much bigger than mine..."

"Hmph." Coral disdainful, "Tu Baozi tyrant, there is no connotation at all, she wanted to say that my villa is a hundred times bigger than this, but the problem is that the Xie family is too connotative, although in terms of comprehensive strength, this little owner is not a dime, but she really hasn't seen that, the relatives built a very big villa, but there is an uncle who bought a small island to make a laboratory, and later it seems that it also returned to the country, she can't play, thinking like this, she turned her head to the side to sulk.

It was not clear what the background of the coral family wasabi wase, Lan Cui saw that she was angry, so he hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered comfort: "Don't worry, my body is not poisoned, if there is such a thing, we must make them look good." ”

Coral glanced at him: "It's not really going to happen, I'll talk about it casually, who will really blatantly drug people now, and it's not the old society."

"Well, anyway, you said the white one, and the black one was also what you said"

Soon after, night fell. They got into the car driven by the driver of the small proprietor, and went to the nearby villa to attend the party, when they left the villa here, Lan Zi glanced back, the last light of the sunset dyed this villa orange red, the huge villa seemed cold and deep, there seemed to be a disgusted but familiar feeling floating through the heart, what is it,

This kind of thinking had no result, and the conversation with Xiaodong interrupted this thought, and soon after, the memory of oranges and apples drifted through his mind in vain, I don't know why he remembered this, he turned his head in confusion, but the car had already driven away, maybe it was because of what Coral said made him think too much, Lan Zi thought like this. About an hour later, a series of events at the meeting made him completely forget this doubt in his mind."
