Don't you say I'm a substitute

35.

"What did you say? There's no car?!" Lu Haoze glared at the guide in front of him angrily.

Because there was no direct plane, they first flew to City C, followed the clues given to them by the Hope Project, and took a car directly to a small fourth- and fifth-tier city [-] kilometers away.When they got there, the three of them went to the local Project Hope office, where Lu Haoze saw the volunteer registration form with Zheng Zaochun's one-inch photo on it, and touched the word Zheng Zaochun in the name column, if there were not two unsightly presences , Lu Haoze felt that he could cry on the spot.

It was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon when we got the news of Zheng Zaochun's exact whereabouts. Under Jin Jiajun's protest, the three of them, who hadn't eaten all day, randomly found a restaurant on the side of the road and had a meal.After the meal, Lu Haoze found a local who was familiar with the environment of the surrounding county as a guide, and prepared to set off.

"It's like this. There are two minibuses going to Tongshu County at the passenger station a day. They depart from Tongshu County, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Now the afternoon bus leaves two hours ago..." the guide said.

"Do you know the way to Tongshu County?" Lu Haoze looked at his watch, it was not too late.

"Knowing is knowing, but..."

"Then help me find a car rental company. I'll rent a car. You lead the way, and we will drive there by ourselves."

"Impossible! You outsiders don't know that the road to Tongshu County is a winding mountain road, and it's night. Drivers who have never driven this road will not be able to drive, and accidents will happen!" The guide shook his head and waved his hands, "Besides, you are at night. When we reach Tongshu County, we can’t go any further.”

"How to say?"

"Look at what you wrote on this paper. You are going to Zhangwan Township, right? To go to Zhangwan Township, you have to take a bungee to Tonghua Town at the bottom of Tongshu County. When you arrive in Tonghua Town, you still have to enter In the mountains, it’s impossible to do this at night!”

Tian Cong, who was on the side, was dizzy when he heard that there were CMBs and three jumpers on the road, "Just tell me, how to get to Zhangwan Township from here, and how long will it take?"

"Let me do the math, the minibus departs at [-]:[-] noon, it takes four hours on the road, and it takes three hours to take a bungee ride in Tongshu County. If it's fast, I can arrive at Tonghua Town at seven or eight in the evening... Well, it will definitely not work in one day. You have to be there Tongshu County or Tonghua Town rested for the night."

"You just said that you still have to enter the mountain, how long will it take to enter the mountain?"

"If you hurry up, you should be there in five hours."

"on foot?"

"Well, on foot."

"Fuck!" Tian Cong couldn't help but swear.

"Let's not go tonight, find a place to rest. Tomorrow, take the minibus in the morning, rest in Tonghua Town in the evening, and go to the mountains the next morning. As for you, if you think the journey is difficult, you don't have to go." Lu Haoze listened to the guide's words , resolutely revised the plan, glanced at Tian Cong who was sticking to Jin Jiajun with a dissatisfied muttering in his mouth, and added another sentence at the end.

"Don't mind! We've already arrived here, it would be inappropriate not to follow, the mountains are nice, the air is fresh, don't you think so, Cong Cong?" Jin Jiajun laughed.

Tian Cong snorted from his nose as an answer.

In the evening, the three of them found a clean and fast hotel. Unfortunately, there were only two rooms left in the hotel.Tian Cong was naturally dragged to one of them by Jin Jiajun, and Lu Haoze went to the other.

After running around for a whole day, his body was so exhausted that his muscles all over his body were clamoring for pain. Lu Haoze understood that what he needed most now was sleep, and he would have to rush on the road non-stop tomorrow, but he couldn't help but toss and turn in bed and couldn't fall asleep.Lu Haoze couldn't help being excited when he thought that he would meet the person he had been thinking about day and night the day after tomorrow.

I got up, took a shower, went back to bed, and for the thousandth time in my mind, I began to envision the scene after seeing Zheng Zaochun, what he should say, how should he say it, what expression and tone he would use to say it, thinking that in the end he finally unconsciously Fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Haoze gritted his teeth resentfully when he saw Jin Jiajun who was full of energy and Tian Cong who always looked sleepless along the way.Receiving Lu Haoze's murderous eyes, Jin Jiajun turned his head and smiled brightly, what's the matter?You don't have to eat and you don't allow others to eat spicy food?

The three of them had lunch in advance, followed the guide and went to the passenger station early to wait for the minibus.After getting in the car, Tian Cong nestled in Jin Jiajun's arms and fell asleep soundly. Jin Jiajun stuffed earphones in his ears and listened to the song unsteadily, while Lu Haoze stared out the window wondering what he was thinking.

Because it is located in a mountainous area, it didn't take long for the car to drive out of the city before starting to climb the mountain.

"Look, I'm right. It's really a mountain to go in this direction. The mountain road is narrow and steep. If you have never run such a road before, it will be dangerous to drive up rashly! In fact, our environment here is very good, with mountains and rivers, and a lot of mountain specialties, the only disadvantage is that the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and transportation is inconvenient, otherwise it would have developed early..." The guide sat beside Lu Haoze and chattered non-stop, Lu Haoze Looking at the continuous mountain peaks outside the window, I was silent.

After walking on the winding mountain road for nearly two hours, someone finally vomited uncontrollably, and suddenly there was an unpleasant smell in the carriage, and Lu Haoze felt a little overwhelmed when he smelled it.Tian Cong woke up at this time, and his face became very ugly after sitting for a while.He remembered that when Zheng Zaochun went out to play last time, he took a high-speed car and climbed a little hill and then vomited in a mess. Later, he took the provincial road and climbed a small slope and got off the car almost sideways.If he was in such a car, he might feel uncomfortable... Thinking of this, he turned his head and gave Lu Haoze a vicious look. It was all his fault that Zheng Zaochun had to suffer this kind of pain. At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten In addition to Zheng Zaochun being forced to leave, it seems that he still has a contribution...

As the wobbly sun slanted westward, the minibus finally arrived at Tongshu County.When getting off the car, Lu Haoze felt that his feet were swollen.The minibus put the passengers on the side of the road and drove away. The guide led them across a dirt road and walked into the county town.The county seat is very small, and one main road disappears at the end.On this road, Lu Haoze and the others saw for the first time what the "bump" in the guide's mouth looked like.

"Is this reliable? Can it run on mountain roads?" Jin Jiajun said worriedly, pointing to the vehicle that looked like a motorcycle with a plastic casing.

"Why can't you? Take this ride when you go in and out of the mountains!" the driver of the bungee said boldly.

Lu Haoze asked Jin Jiajun with his eyes if he wanted to continue to follow, Jin Jiajun smiled and pulled Tian Cong to take the lead to board the trampoline in front of him.In fact, in Lu Haoze's heart, he was quite grateful to the two of them for accompanying them all the way. The faces of the two of them were not good all the way, even so, they followed without complaint.I have to admit that having one or two people with him is much more reassuring than him groping for it alone.

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Come up quickly!" the guide called out, and Lu Haoze came back to his senses and quickly boarded the bungee.

It didn't take long for Lu Haoze to realize that the minibus is much more comfortable than the bungee!The bunny was shaking too much, it kept shaking, his whole body was shaking, and his internal organs were shaking out of place.Lu Haoze felt that his feet and legs were numb as if he had lost all feeling.

"Are you all right?" the guide asked, raising his voice over the noise of the bungee.

Lu Haoze shook his head while grabbing the handle on the top of his head with a pale face, thinking that Zheng Zaochun had also suffered this crime and felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

After a while, Jin Jiajun called and said that Tian Cong couldn't take it anymore and wanted to stop and rest.Lu Haoze beckoned the driver to stop the car on the side of the road, Tian Cong got off the car behind the car and threw himself on the side of the curb and started throwing up, Jin Jiajun quickly followed him to help him.

Lu Haoze took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Jin Jiajun. Tian Cong vomited out the contents of his stomach, and finally he didn't feel so uncomfortable.But just as Jin Jiajun and Lu Haoze breathed a sigh of relief, Tian Cong squatted there and suddenly burst into tears.

This crying startled everyone, and Jin Jiajun hugged him anxiously, "Congcong?! Tell Uncle what's wrong! My dear, don't cry, tell me what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry , let's not go, let's go back now, okay? Good boy, don't cry..."

Tian Cong cried even more when he heard Jin Jiajun said that he was going back. Lu Haoze who was standing next to him was also the first and the second eldest, and he didn't know what went wrong.Jin Jiajun was scared out of his wits, since Tian Cong was sensible, he had never cried in such a big way since Tian Cong became sensible.

"Uncle, uncle..." Tian Cong buried his face on Jin Jiajun's shoulder and murmured, "I feel bad when I think that Zheng Zheng has also been in this car. The last time I went out to play, he would get carsick if he ran faster. His legs were weak when he got out of the car on the slightly detoured road. Tell me, how can he survive this journey..."

Tian Cong's words made both Lu Haoze and Jin Jiajun silent. It was the first time that Lu Haoze heard about Zheng Zaochun's motion sickness. When he recalled that this road was a winding mountain road, his heart ached instantly.

Tian Cong cried for a while before slowly calming down under Jin Jiajun's gentle comfort, and helped him onto the jumper again. Jin Jiajun found that Lu Haoze was still standing by the side of the road.

"Hey! Don't cry too! I don't want to coax Congcong well, but I want to coax you!" Jin Jiajun looked at Lu Haoze who was just about to write the word "sad" on his forehead.

"I'm a fucking scum!" Lu Haoze slammed on the mountain wall in a circle.

"Well, yes, I finally have an accurate position for myself, so brother scumbag, can we continue to set off?"

Lu Haoze...

As night fell, Lu Haoze and the others finally reached Tonghua Town.Reluctantly got off the jump, the three of them looked disheveled and couldn't even speak.Seeing that they were not in good condition, the guide hurriedly greeted them and took them to the home of a villager he knew well.

The local villagers warmly received the three of them. Hearing that they hadn't finished their meal, the enthusiastic farm lady rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen.The uncle moved a few stools to the yard. On summer nights, enjoying the cool outdoors is more comfortable than staying indoors.

"Master, do you know Zhangwan Township on the other side of the mountain?" Lu Haoze held a big tea mug in his hand, and the uncle wished to brew half of the tea in it.

"I know, why don't I know! It's not easy to get out of that place on the top of the mountain. Every week and weekend when the market is held, many people from Zhangwan come to the market to buy things." The uncle took out his pipe and knocked on the inside. Soot.

"Then do you know Zhangwan Township Hope Primary School?" Lu Haoze asked again.

"Hope Elementary School? Isn't that the only elementary school in Zhangwan? Just the elementary school where a skinny little teacher came last time?" The uncle took a look at Lu Haoze, stuffed tobacco leaves into the pipe, and struck a match to light it. superior.

"Yes! When? The little teacher is a young man? A man?" Lu Haoze squeezed the handle of the cup tightly, his voice was a little unsteady with excitement.

"Yes, man, but when did you ask?" the uncle tilted his head and thought for a while, "probably around March and April. I remember that every family was plowing the ground and planting seedlings. The little teacher's small body , as if the wind blows. I heard that he is from a big city. What are you doing here? Yes, teaching! Guess how I know about this? As soon as this little teacher came to our town, he I had a serious illness, oops, I was blamed by the old nose! I was lying in the town health center for three days and walked on the ground. I heard that it was motion sickness and something that was not acclimatized. I didn’t understand after talking for a long time. The mayor mobilized everyone to take care of him Your aunt and I even went to deliver a meal to him! When we went, good guy, his face was so pale that it was scary..."

As the uncle was talking, he found that the eye sockets of Lu Haoze on the opposite side were red, feeling very inexplicable.

"Yo? Why are you still crying? I didn't say anything..." The uncle scratched the back of his bare head, puzzled.

"It's all right, sir, just keep talking, don't worry about him." Jin Jiajun dragged the stool to Lu Haoze's side, and elbowed Lu Haoze, reminding him to put his expression back properly.

"It's nothing after that? After the little teacher recovered from his illness, he followed him into the mountains. What else can there be?" The uncle took a puff of cigarette, and looked suspiciously at Lu Haoze's face.

"If you want me to say that this little teacher is also very warm-hearted, so he went all the way to become a teacher in our small valley. How can we compare with big cities here? The conditions are too bad. Many young teachers have come here before. They can't stay for a few days and then clamor to leave, there is no way, poor..."

When the uncle wanted to continue talking, the aunt came to call for dinner. When everyone got up and moved the stools to eat in the house, Lu Haoze quietly turned his back and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. On the body, Zheng Zaochun came, Zheng Zaochun fell ill, Zheng Zaochun couldn't get out of bed for three days, and Zheng Zaochun just went to the mountains just after his illness, the scene of Zheng Zaochun passing by here emerged bit by bit in Lu Haoze's mind, the food he had eaten He was so tired that he had a sore nose just thinking about it.

The author has something to say:

It was locked when I posted it for the first time. After deleting some plots, I will post it again... I hope this time can pass...

Seeing everyone's criticism of Tian Cong and Uncle, I also don't like the behavior of using innocent people as trial stones, it's too embarrassing.Feelings are a matter between two people, why bother to involve others.The so-called test of love is just a boring teasing and teasing of others because you think you have the upper hand.Well, too much personal emotion, the reality is about to become realistic, dizzy...

In the story, Lao Lu’s good days are coming to an end, and in reality, my good days are also coming to an end. The experiment starting next week will last for two weeks. Zhang, don't hit me and don't send the blade, I'm dying on the test bench, well, that's it...
