fool around

On the first night in Gutang, Si Yu slept soundly.

In his dream, he won this year's "Top Ten Good Young People Who Touched the Society" and participated in the National TV Awards Gala.The host read out the award speech emotionally, and Si Yu appeared on the stage under the eyes of everyone. He was dressed in a neat suit, combed his hair back, and bowed to accept the trophy.

A VCR was broadcast on the big screen behind. The children in Gutang Village expressed their gratitude and love for Teacher Si in front of the camera. A girl cried and said that if there was no Teacher Si, she might be raising pigs and plowing land. Going to a key middle school, Lin Mubai patted her on the shoulder behind him and comforted her softly.

The audience was deeply moved and wiped their heads with tears. Si Yu's eyes were watery and he choked up his acceptance speech: "Thank you my mother, thank you for abandoning me when I was two years old, my childhood is only without you." Complete; thank you my dad, did you see it in the sky? The son has grown up..."

After the awards ceremony, the organizer wanted to send a car to take Si Yu back, but Si Yu politely refused and said that he brought the driver. There was a black tractor parked in the parking lot, with two hemp ropes tied to the rear of the car, and it was dragging a board. car.Qi Lu got out of the car wearing a cloak, put his left hand lightly on his right shoulder, bowed slightly to Si Yu, and said, "Boss, please get in the car."

A magnificent boss chair was installed on the cart, and Si Yu sat on it, crossed his legs, raised his chin, and commanded haughtily, "Drive."

Qi Lu replied respectfully: "Yes, boss."

"Tutu-boom-boom-"

There was a loud noise when the tractor started, and Si Yu shuddered and woke up suddenly.

"Boom boom-"

Si Yu was still drowsy, closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, but the tractor was still ringing, and he covered his head with the quilt in annoyance, and the chug of the damn broken car outside made his eardrums hurt.

"Hold!"

Si Yu never believed in gods and ghosts. The only time he made a wish in his life was eight years ago when his father, Si Zheng, suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only a mahogany sword.After Si Yu reported the case, when he walked out of the police station, there was light rain in the sky. He looked around, his eyes were full of daze, and he didn't know where to go.Finally, he found a temple and knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva to pray, if there is a god in the world, please bless his father to be safe.

Ten days later, the police informed him that Si Zheng had died and his body had been destroyed. He didn't even see his father for the last time, and he only received a box of ashes.Si Yu was 15 years old that year. He went through the formalities alone, carried his father's ashes to the temple, hid behind the curtain and cried loudly.

The golden bodhisattva has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with compassion in his eyes, and the monks in cassocks are chanting mantras.After crying for a while, Si Yu wore away the last trace of sustenance to "God" in his body, as if he had pulled out the last weak bone in his muscles.

Today, Si Yu was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and made his second wish in life.

——I hope Qi Lu's tractor breaks down immediately, blows out a tire, and turns into a pile of scrap metal!

The wish he made eight years ago didn't come true, and it's still useless eight years later.

The tractor continued to ring for more than five minutes before it stopped. Si Yu was disturbed by such a disturbance, and the last bit of drowsiness left him.

With two dark circles under his eyes, he scratched his hair irritably, kicked his legs heavily on the bed, sat up with a dark face, and took a look at his mobile phone from the bedside table. It was only 05:30.

Why did Qi Lu get up so early?Plow the fields with a tractor?

Si Yu sighed, and his mind cleared up a bit, thinking that he shouldn't have slandered Qi Lu so much just now, after all, he is a countryman who lives by farming, and it is quite tiring to go out so early and return late to work.

He went to the toilet to urinate, and found a crumpled plastic bag from the box, which contained toiletries. He had just squeezed toothpaste when he heard the trees outside the house shouting happily.

"The new guy's name is Si Yu. He looks good! He's very white, with round eyes, and his pulse is beating very well, beating. Xiaomao, don't you think so?"

"Wow, woof!" Xiao Mao yelled three times in response to the occasion.

Si Yu poked the toothbrush into his mouth, knowing that Lin Mubai was praising him, but why did it sound a bit awkward?

"The personality is also good! Cute smile! When you smile, your eyes are narrowed and curved! The voice is also very gentle!"

Si Yu was delighted to hear that, and brushed his teeth briskly.

"Why am I lying to you! If you don't believe me, ask Brother Qi!"

Si Yu's right hand froze, the toothbrush touched his lips, and he rubbed a mouthful of toothpaste.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, wanting to see how Qi Lu would answer, but after waiting for a long time, the toothpaste on his lips was dry, and he didn't hear Qi Lu's voice.

Si Yu shrugged in front of the mirror, he didn't care what Qi Lu said about him, besides, it was normal that he couldn't hear Qi Lu's voice, after all not everyone spoke like Lin Mubai, the volume was as loud as a drum horn Team.

There was a burst of joking and joking outside the house, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.Si Yu washed his face and shaved his beard, picked up the socks he took off yesterday and put them on again, went to the yard and pushed open the heavy iron gate.

The door opened slowly, and Si Yu raised his eyes to meet a dark face.

Lin Mubai held Xiao Mao in his arms, his posture was upright, like a welcoming lady.

"Morning, good morning..." Si Yu raised his hand stiffly to greet him.

"Good morning!" Lin Mubai tilted his head and smiled brightly, his big white teeth dazzling.

Si Yu stood on tiptoe and looked behind him, the lawn was empty.

"Where are people?" Si Yu muttered.

Lin Mubai leaned closer and asked, "Looking for someone?"

"I heard you talking to someone else in the room just now," Si Yu asked, "Why didn't you see anyone else?"

"Oh..." Lin Mu rolled his eyes twice, "Oh oh oh! They were still there just now, and now they are gone!"

Si Yu nodded, and answered casually: "You run so fast."

"Yes, yes," Lin Mubai scratched his head, "People in our village run very fast."

This conversation was really endless, Si Yu and Lin Mubai looked at each other and laughed for more than ten seconds, their faces were stiff from laughing, at this time Xiaomao jumped to the ground with a whimper, Lin Mubai gasped, and hurriedly chased after him. The dog has gone.

Si Yu walked out of the yard and walked around on the lawn a few times.The sky was too dark last night, and he was exhausted, so he didn't bother to observe the surrounding environment, so he finally got a clear view.

Gutang has beautiful mountains and clear waters. There is a lawn in front of the house. A small river separates his bungalow from the opposite side. There is a stone bridge on the river.

He opened his mouth to take a breath of fresh air, stretched himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qi Lu's black tractor parked by the side of the road.

"Huh?" Si Yu was stunned, and asked Lin Mubai, "Village Chief, Qi Lu didn't go out to plow the land?"

Just as Lin Mubai caught up with Xiao Mao, he said out of breath, "No! We never plow any land."

Si Yu frowned: "Then why did the tractor start ringing so early in the morning?"

"That's brother Qi calling us up," Lin Mubai said, "Xiaofu drives around every morning, and the villagers know it's time to get up and practice when they hear the sound!"

Si Yu: "..."

He was confused, he heard the sound of the tractor at 05:30 in the morning, why did the villagers get up so early?Who is Xiaofu?Why can you drive Qi Lu's car?

Before a series of questions could be asked, there was a "squeak" sound from room 43 next door. Si Yu turned around and found a small head popping out from behind the iron gate of Qi Lu's house.

"Xiao Fu!" Lin Mubai called him, "Come play with Xiao Mao!"

Si Yu smiled at Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu wrinkled his nose, glanced at Si Yu and quickly lowered his head, as if he was embarrassed to look at him.

"Your name is Xiaofu?" Si Yu knelt down and waved to Xiaofu.

Only then did Xiaofu come out from behind the door. He was dressed in black and a black wide-brimmed hat. He was about seven or eight years old in stature, with a white and fat face, and he looked very cute.

Just such a big kid, Qi Lu asked him to drive the tractor every morning to wake up?

Si Yu couldn't believe it. He sat cross-legged on the grass, held his face in his hands, and said in an exclamation tone: "Xiaofu, I heard from the village head uncle that you can drive. It's amazing, is it true?"

Xiaofu's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, and shouted "beep beep beep", with his two little hands in a gesture of controlling the steering wheel, he happily ran around Si Yu in circles.

Lin Mubai was quite proud: "Xiaofu is doing well!"

Si Yu's heart sank. For such a young child, he wakes up at five o'clock every day, drives a tractor with tires higher than others, and runs around the village. What is Qi Lu thinking?

He stopped Xiao Fu who was running around, straightened the hat on his head for him, and held Xiao Fu's hand again, but when his hand touched Xiao Fu's skin, he froze for a moment.

It's so cold, why is Xiao Fushou so cold, it seems that he has no body temperature at all.

Xiaofu was still a little cautious, with his hands behind his back, his eyes rolled around, and he was too embarrassed to look at Si Yu.

Si Yu asked him: "Xiao Fu, does your father know that you drive?"

Xiaofu blinked blankly.

"Xiaofu doesn't have a father!" Lin Mubai interjected.

"Then Qi Lu..."

"It's the master." Xiao Fu said solemnly with a small face.

"what?"

Si Yu wondered if he had traveled to a feudal society. The bulletin board at the entrance of the village still had the motto "Prosperity, Democracy, Civilization and Harmony". Who would have thought that this village would be so dirty.In this day and night where the world is bright and clear, there are actually some people raising child laborers at home, and they are raising them in an aboveboard manner.

He didn't know what it was like, he was sour and angry, but after all he had a rational personality, and Fan Tianxing had reminded him that this remote barren mountain village had been separated from modern society for too long, and there were inevitably some customs and habits that outsiders could not understand.In addition, he is an outsider, and it is obviously unwise to have a conflict with the local snake Qi Lu. Not only will he not be able to help Xiaofu, but he may also bring himself into big trouble.

Xiaofu looked at him timidly, Si Yu sighed lightly, and patted Xiaofu on the head: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Xiao Fu shook his head.

Si Yu said, "Brother, can I make you noodles? It's really delicious."

Xiaofu opened his mouth and whispered "Wow".

Lin Mubai approached with a smile: "I want to eat too!"

"Xiaofu, come back."

Si Yu heard a cold and distant voice, and he immediately recognized that the voice came from Qi Lu.

He raised his head, Qi Lu did not know when he stood by the door, and Si Yu finally saw Qi Lu's appearance clearly.

He knew that Qi Lu was born well when he first saw him last night, but he was a little surprised when he saw it clearly.Qi Lu is so beautiful, with an almost sharp sense of delicacy, his skin is extremely white, his eyelashes are particularly dark and thick, and when he blinks, he looks like flapping butterfly wings.

He bent his knuckles, tapped twice on the iron door, and said in a low voice, "Xiaofu."

Si Yu held Xiaofu by the hem of his jacket, curled his mouth towards Qi Lu, and showed a gentle and harmless smile: "Mr. Qi, I'll take Xiaofu to breakfast, and I'll send him back in a while."

"No, thanks."

Qi Lu nodded politely, his eyes were inexplicably sharp, and Si Yu could feel that Qi Lu didn't trust him.

Xiao Fu hesitated and took two steps forward, then reluctantly backed away.

Si Yu sat cross-legged, and had to raise his head when talking to Qi Lu, as if his imposing manner was somewhat inferior.In fact, he was a little apprehensive, he had a sense of fear towards Qi Lu that came out of nowhere and had no grounds, but Xiaofu leaned against him, giving him some confidence.

He stood up and looked directly at Qi Lu without blinking or avoiding: "Mr. Qi, my house is next door to yours, don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Oh?" Qi Lu smiled, the corners of his lips raised slightly, his gaze shifted from Si Yu to Xiao Fu's face, and he said calmly, "The sun is about to rise."

Xiaofu glanced at the sky angrily, pouted and ran home quickly.
