Chapter 52: After the Games
Looking at the heroic Duanmu Shenjiu, Mu Haisen thought to himself, this old ancestor is not going to do something big, lead the clansmen back to the peak, and let the martial arts people in the whole world look up. But the next moment, Duanmu Shenjiu changed his demeanor, returned to that cold appearance, and said lightly: "Let's go, go back to the store." ”
Mu Haisen was surprised and asked, "Back to the store?"
"It's not because of the life you are talking about, you have to fill your stomach first. ”
Mu Haisen was dumbfounded and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, this reason, then go back to the store, go back to the store." ”
When the two walked out of the door, Duanmu Shenjiu also whispered a few words, "Why don't I also find an errand to do, it's not a way to be idle like this, although my apprentice has some money now, but it won't last long after all, I, as a master, can't keep the apprentice raised..."
On the other side of the city, Wei Chengfeng, who was sitting at home, looked at Jiang Lei, who was still light and breezy just now, and had changed his appearance at this time. Jiang Lei answered the phone casually just now, and then he was extremely surprised, and after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly said that he wanted to go back to the headquarters. Wei Chengfeng did something wrong with him, he only said, "Variables! This may be the variables that the stinky Taoist priest said!"
Wei Chengfeng was helpless, but he didn't know what was going on, so he had to follow Jiang Lei and return to Beijing.
A few days have passed, Wu Hou has lived a dull college life, the days are unhurried, it is a good time for youth, young boys and girls know that time is precious, every day when they go to school and look forward to class, they want to play after class. With the end of the military training, Wu Hou, Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang signed up for the autumn sports meeting in the school according to the instructions of the counselor.
The three of them are not good at anything, a series of ball sports, they have never played small, and they don't understand the rules, under discussion, the three of them went to sign up for the marathon relay race. It's a simple sport, the rules are clear at a glance, as long as you can run fast. In the first two laps, Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang, although they were both big boys and were not slow, they were still thrown out a lot by others.
Especially Feng Mo, looking handsome and chic, who knew that when he ran, he couldn't even run half a head shorter than himself, plus when Li Zhiguang ran, he encountered opponents who were already faster than before, so the distance that was left by Feng Mo before, in Li Zhiguang's place, not only did not chase back, but was exceeded by most of the circle. When it was Wu Hou's turn, the other team's team had far exceeded the distance of nearly two laps on his side.
But fortunately, Wu Hou is different from others, his naturally strong physique, coupled with years of cultivation, makes him far beyond ordinary people in terms of speed. was surpassed by others for nearly two laps, in Wu Hou's stuffy running, and in the surprise of the audience, he was chased back alive, and Wu Hou was the first to run across the finish line. In a race to win, the teachers and students who watched the battle were shocked by Wu Hou's amazing speed. The playground is so big, and the participants of all teams in the third round are full, and Wu Houjian recovered the gap in this situation and won the first place.
Shocked with thunderous applause, Wu Hou also made a small limelight in front of the teachers and students of the school. Afterwards, Li Zhiguang and Feng Mo in the class had a more attentive attitude towards Wu Hou than after the previous fight, and they kept calling Wu Hou Boss and serving them with good food and drink. Fortunately, these are those girls, who can be regarded as remembering Wu Hou, some girls with rippling hearts, and a few days later, they quietly handed Wu Hou a love letter, wanting to have a relationship with this bad-looking big boy who now has the nickname of "Little Flyer".
Even Zhou Shu, who has a better and better relationship with Mai Wenxiang, also has feelings for Wu Hou. For this reason, Mai Wenxiang did not speak sourly, and Li Zhiguang and Feng Mo were also envious.
In the middle of the afternoon of this day, when school was about to end, Gao Jingyi came to the class, standing on the stage with a pleasant smile, looking in a good mood.
"Be quiet, I'll tell you a few words. In the sports meeting a few days ago, the results of our class were good, and the only three boys also won a gold medal in our own class. Especially that... That Wu Hou, well, very good, very talented, the principal said that if you are interested, he is going to let you represent the school in the city's university winter games, and then all the college athletes in the city will come to participate, I hope you can also win a gold medal for the school. ”
Wu Hou has recently been treated like a moon by everyone because he won the first place, and he is in a state of triumph. At this time, he crossed Erlang's legs, leaned on the table behind him, looked at Gao Jingyi on the stage, and replied, "Well, I want to think about it, student, you still have to focus on learning." ”
Hearing this, Mai Wenxiang was in her seat and couldn't help muttering, "Hey, it's still a score." ”
Gao Jingyi seemed to be very satisfied with Wu Hou's answer, nodded and said, "Well, what you said is very good, everyone should focus on studying, but also combine work and rest." You think about it, and let me know in advance when you're ready to participate. ”
Wu Hou put down Erlang's legs, nodded and hummed. Then Gao Jingyi walked out of the teacher and disappeared again.
After school, it rained in the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky like beans, densely scattering from the sky, adding a little coolness to the autumn weather. Countless umbrellas were erected at the school gate, all of which were of any color, Wu Hou and Mai Wenxiang stood under the same umbrella, Li Zhiguang, Feng Mo, Zhou Shu and others, each with an umbrella, stood aside.
"Why is it raining so hard all of a sudden, hey, don't say it, it's been a long time since it's raining, this rain, it's really a little bit of artistic conception. Feng Mo looked at the heavy rain in front of him, looked at the sky with his eyes and said.
A girl walked up from behind several people and came to them. Holding a small pink umbrella, she timidly came to the front of Wu Hou, stretched out her hand and handed over a letter, the delicate envelope was pasted with the most popular pattern on the campus at the moment, fully showing the girl's heart.
The forehead that was wet by the rain, a few strands of hair stuck to it, the big eyes looked at Wu Hou nervously and crampedly, and said crisply: "Give.. Here you go.."
Wu Hou was putting his hands in his pockets, and Mai Wenxiang was holding an umbrella on the side, so he casually slanted his legs and went to that station. Seeing the female classmate handing over a letter, he hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand to take the envelope.
In the snickering of Li Zhiguang and Feng Mo, the girl fled the scene in shame, leaving the helpless Wu Hou, and Mai Wenxiang and Zhou Shu, who were secretly angry on both sides. Girls, when you meet the object of your choice, if he is liked by others, then he will naturally feel uncomfortable, these two, at this time, this is what they look like in their hearts.
Feng Mo looked at the girl who fled in a hurry, and shouted from behind, "Hey, hey, I'm not bad, why don't you write to me? "The girl didn't stop, she didn't look back, she ran faster.
Wu Hou picked up the letter in his hand, shook it in front of his eyes, and then looked at Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang with a smug expression.
"Look at his poor appearance!" Li Zhiguang said indignantly: "Although he is also a little handsome, he can't receive love letters every day, how many have he had in the past few days, if not ten, but also eight!"
Feng Mo also said: "That's it, I'm not handsome, no one writes to me, I'm really angry!"
Wu Hou laughed proudly, and Mai Wenxiang stretched out his hand, wanting to snatch the envelope, but Wu Hou dodged it.
"Why do you throw it away again? It's also a little bit of a heart, why do you always throw it away when I haven't even seen it?"
"Hmph!" Mai Wenxiang snorted, turned away, and ignored him. Zhou Shu was also on the side, and snorted lightly unhappily.
Wu Hou smiled and put the envelope into his schoolbag, and said, "I'm in a good mood today, let's go, brother will take you to dinner, whatever you want to eat, choose whatever you want." ”
Feng Mo tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "I heard that the vinegar fish in the West Lake is good, and today is such a good situation, why don't we go to the edge of the West Lake to eat the vinegar fish?" Watching the rain on the lake, sitting under the pavilion and eating the vinegar fish, tsk, and drinking a few sips of beer, it's really fast!" Feng Mo was old-fashioned when he spoke, like an old drunkard who had been immersed in the wine field for many years.
Wu Hou and Li Zhiguang listened to Feng Mo's proposal, agreed with it, and decided to go to the edge of the West Lake to find a place to eat jealous fish, but the remaining two little girls didn't want to go.
Zhou Shu said: "I won't go, it's raining so heavily, my mother has to worry about going out to play." Xiangxiang, didn't you say that Wu Hou and his cousin are not at home recently, Wu Hou and they go out to play, how boring it is for you to go back by yourself, why don't you go to my house?"
Mai Wenxiang immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, go to your house." Wu Hou gave me your schoolbag, I will help you take it, how uncomfortable it is for you to go out to play and carry your schoolbag, take the time to ask your cousin, you haven't been back for almost half a month. ”
"I asked him what he was doing, and when I called him yesterday, he said he was looking for a job. Wu Hou rolled his eyes.
"It's better to find a job than not to make money. Mai Wenxiang took the schoolbag from Wu Hou's shoulder with her own hands, and then walked under Zhou Shu's umbrella.
Wu Hou thought about it in his heart, too, everyone else thinks that normal people have to work, so Mai Wenxiang felt that Duanmu Shenjiu was right to find a job, but she didn't know what Wu Hou thought in his heart. Only Wu Hou himself knows that his master, who is thousands of years old, is a martial arts master, and in this era, he doesn't understand anything, sometimes he can't even turn on a light, what kind of job can he find.
Mai Wenxiang followed Zhou Shu, with a schoolbag in one hand, and left the school gate. After walking out of Wu Hou's sight, Mai Wenxiang gave his schoolbag to Zhou Shu, and then opened Wu Hou's schoolbag, took out the letter that the girl had written to Wu Hou just now, and threw it into the rain on the side of the road without looking at it. Then the two put their arms around each other and laughed.
Wu Hou, Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang, who were still at the school gate, took a taxi on the side of the road and set off to the edge of the West Lake. After getting into the car, he said his destination, and as soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator, the car drove in the stagnant water on the road, splashed water, crossed more than a dozen streets, and passed dozens of traffic lights before sending the three people to the edge of the West Lake.
Because of the rain, there are few people by the West Lake, and there are almost no people in sight. Even the restaurants on the side have many open doors, but there are not many customers inside. After the three of them got out of the car, they didn't go directly to the hotel, but first took an umbrella and walked around the broken bridge.
Walking under the big tree, on the edge is the prestigious West Lake, the slight fire of the moon in the three pools flickered in the lake, and countless raindrops fell into the lake, smashing out thousands of small potholes. The Leifeng Pagoda in the distance is still lit, there are still a few small boats drifting on the lake, and the sound of raindrops falling into the lake is like a symphony, reaching the ears of several people. The West Lake in the rain also has a unique charm, and the three of them walked silently, without speaking, enjoying this rare scenery.
Walking through a section of the street lamp, the ground was full of standing water, perhaps because the sewer entrance was too small, the rain did not have time to flow into the sewer, and on this road more and more accumulated, gradually lost their knees, and the three had to roll up their trousers and wade through the water.
Halfway through, the three of them heard the sound of treading water behind them, so they all turned their heads and looked behind them in the dim light.
There was a person in the back, with his head down, as if he was holding something in his arms, and looking at the gradually delicate figure, he could tell that it was a woman. The woman didn't have an umbrella and was in the middle of the road, not walking on the side of the road like Wu Hou and the others. Moreover, this woman's feet were on the water, and it was not like Wu Hou and the others, half of her legs were submerged in the water.
The woman ran like this, bowing her head and running wildly, stepping on the stagnant water with her feet down, but she would not submerge into the water, whistling past the three people, bringing up a burst of water droplets, and not looking at the three people on the side of the road, I don't know if she didn't care at all, or because of the lack of light, her attention was on the water, and she didn't see the three people on the side of the road.
