Chapter 68: Youth
Bus stops.
"What the hell is a bus?" Yan Jiangxue asked with great interest: "I haven't sat in my life!" ”
"Neither do I." Lu Xuan smiled gently: "It used to be because it was too expensive..... Now I'm thinking, it's not good to trouble Uncle Ao all the time, the sun is big today, I checked some strategies, this bus goes directly to Xiacheng District. ”
Xiao Yan took a bite of the hot roasted sweet potato and said with a smile:
"Actually, it doesn't matter, if you really want to talk about it, with the physique of the two of them, the cold and heat have long been invasive....."
"What about walking?"
"No, I want to try!"
didn't wait long, the delicate public hovercar stopped on the platform, the air waves rolled, lifting the corners of the girl's skirt, revealing two tender white straight calves.
This is the most expensive bus, which costs only two dollars on a regular bus, and 30 yuan for a hovering bus, which is 15 times more expensive.
For the previous Xiao Lu Xuan, this was a sky-high price, but for now, it is really nothing.
The boy and girl cautiously boarded the car, paid with their mobile phones, and then found a vacant seat and sat down side by side.
"Xiao Lu Xiao Lu, I sent you the information you wanted, remember to look at it later!" Yan Jiangxue shook her little feet and looked around curiously:
"By the way, Xiao Lu, after going to the shantytown, shall we go directly to Mount Tai?"
"It's all right, but I think it's better to wait until the summer vacation in July..... Or wait for Ji Boduan to celebrate his birthday, otherwise it would be too hasty. ”
"I really want to go to that birthday party...... Xiao Yan pouted: "He still keeps calling you little brother, and you don't have any anger." ”
Lu Xuan chuckled:
"After all, I promised him, I must go...... Ji Boduan's nature is not bad, he just likes to be in the limelight, which is the nature of young people. ”
"What about you?" Yan Jiangxue's big eyes flashed, the sun spilled through the car window and then on her side, and her neck under her sideburns was white and red.
Lu Xuan thought seriously for a moment, and then replied:
"I probably like it too, but in the past, it was too weak, and hiding and keeping a low profile was the best way to protect yourself."
"And now?"
"It's different now, the previous shantytown incident made me understand a truth, after you are strong, you need to show your edge appropriately, so as to minimize the trouble, so that those who want to find trouble will know the difficulty and retreat."
As he spoke, Lu Xuan's face turned slightly red.
When the girl listened to him, she was very serious, and she was very close, and the faint fragrance couldn't stop drilling into her nose, and it smelled very good, so good that the young man's heart trembled, and trembled.
Yan Jiangxue noticed this scene, smiled smartly, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked:
"What are you blushing for?"
"You smell good." Lu Xuan replied honestly.
"Really? What does it taste like? Yan Jiangxue smiled even more cheerfully, and her watery eyes were extremely smart.
"It's kind of like a peach, but it's lighter and smells better."
Lu Xuan leaned in a little clumsily and sniffed it, and then Xiao Yan's face turned red.
"Oh, you're shameless!" Xiao Yan was ashamed and annoyed.
Lu Xuan was just stupidly happy, scratching his head while being happy:
"Xiao Yan, you're not as scared as you used to be!"
"Infected by your cheekiness!"
In the carriage, many middle-aged people with tired faces cast their eyes at the pair of young girls, as if they were infected by the cheerfulness of the two, and the numbness on their faces dissipated a lot.
"Youth..... an uncle let out a deep sigh.
After all, it was a hovering car, and it was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to get to the lower town.
After the two got off the train, the platform was not far from the shantytown, and they could see it from a distance after walking a few steps.
"That's it ahead." Lu Xuan smiled lightly: "Look, isn't it very simple?" ”
Yan Jiangxue raised her eyes and looked at the past, the entrance to the shantytown was quite narrow, not to mention the alloy bricks only used in the upper city, and even worse than the cement floor in the lower city, which was the purest soil.
As soon as I walked to the entrance, I met Zheng Butcher, who was pushing a cart and preparing to leave the stall with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Zheng!" Lu Xuan waved his hand and greeted loudly.
Butcher Zheng paused, and the smile on his face became even bigger:
"It's Lu boy..... Who is this? ”
When he saw Yan Jiangxue, he was obviously stunned, what a handsome girl!
Could it be ......
Butcher Zheng's eyes rolled back and forth on the boy and girl, and his smile became ambiguous.
"It's my friend Yan Jiangxue, the best kind!"
Yan Jiangxue whispered hello:
Zheng ..... Uncle Zheng. ”
She's still so scared of life.
"Xiao, Xiao Yan, hello, hello, hello!" Butcher Zheng hurriedly greeted, a little in a hurry.
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Xuan ambiguously again.
Lu Xuan was a little speechless, and immediately changed the topic and asked:
"By the way, Uncle Zheng, have you had any celebrations lately? I just saw you smiling so happily....."
"Hey!" Butcher Zheng came to the spirit: "You weren't there just now, it's normal to not know..... It was the people of Longque Technology who came to inform us, saying that for the sake of the city's appearance or something, we are ready to renovate our shantytown! ”
He was suddenly excited:
"At that time, the wooden houses will be built into big houses, and I heard that they will be expanded, paved roads, and squares!"
"So good?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "Did Dragon Bird Technology say a cemetery or something?" ”
"No, wasn't the cemetery given to Sakata Heavy Industries? It seems that Dragon Bird Technology is simply doing good deeds..... Lao Chen, they are still guessing whether it will be Xiao Sang's help. ”
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, didn't think much about it, smiled and waved his hand:
"That's okay, I won't delay Uncle Zheng, you will come out of the stall, I'll take Jiang Xue to go shopping."
"Gotcha!" Butcher Zheng pushed the cart and left with a smile.
After seeing Butcher Zheng leave, Lu Xuan turned his head sideways and smiled gently:
"It's you, Xiao Yan?"
"What?" Yan Jiangxue pretended to be stupid.
"You, you....." Lu Xuan smiled happily: "Anyway, I thank you for the neighbors in the shantytown." ”
Two days ago, Lu Xuan saw Uncle Yan's figure on the news, and the chairman of Longque Technology had a very large word mark, so he naturally guessed the root cause of the transformation of the shantytown.
Yan Jiangxue lowered her head embarrassedly:
"No, I just heard you say that life in the shanty town is very hard, and then I mentioned it to the director's uncle......"
As they spoke, the two walked into the shantytown, and the dirt was still sour as usual, but the girl did not have the slightest disgust, but looked around with curiosity.
"Xiao Lu Xiao Lu, did you grow up here?"
"yes, I came here seven years ago, and I was only nine years old......
"Nine, you must have looked cute when you were a kid."
"No." Lu Xuan shook his head, a trace of remembrance flashed on his face: "It's been seven years in this flash." ”
He thought a lot, the catastrophe seven years ago, the flight seven years ago, and the first murder seven years ago to protect himself......
and then to Grandpa Chu's take-in, the opening of dreams, and the meeting of the teacher and Senior Brother Zhang......
It all started seven years ago.
"Seven years......," he sighed again.
Xiao Yan looked at the young man quietly, his big eyes flashed with affection, joy and remembrance, and said softly:
"Yes, this is a lot of years."
"Seven years, isn't that too long?"
"It's a long, long time!"
The two walked through the shantytown, Lu Xuan greeted one neighbor after another, proudly and happily introduced the girl next to him, and every neighbor would praise in surprise:
"What a handsome girl!"
They went to Lao Chen to buy fried chestnuts with sugar, to buy roasted sweet potatoes from Lao Li, to see the high wall built by Bantian Heavy Industry, and to the brand-new cemetery to worship the old man Chu's clothed tomb.
Yan Jiangxue and Lu Xuan worshiped together, put down chestnuts and sweet potatoes, put down a red apple, and a freshly picked peach.
"Chutai ....." Yan Jiangxue looked at the tombstone and whispered imperceptibly.
"It's a familiar name."
