Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 2

You're done, but your stomach is growling with hunger.Excessive devotion made her dizzy from hunger.Ziqiu packed up his palette and brushes, and walked slowly to the river to wash them with a small bucket.When she squatted down, her stomach ached violently.Her face was pale, cold sweat was breaking out slightly on her forehead, her hands trembled involuntarily, and the brushes and palettes in her hands slipped into the river.

"My pen!" Ziqiu saw the thing in his hand fall into the river, and tried to grab it back, but the sole of his foot slipped and he fell into the river.

"Help! Help!" Ziqiu shouted in panic.She is afraid of water, and she even finds someone to take the exam for her swimming lessons.

Did she really just die like this? The more nervous she was, the more she sank. Ziqiu didn't know how much water she drank, but she felt that she was slowly falling down, and the water gradually covered her head.Instantly lost consciousness.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Ziqiu felt uncomfortable all over, his stomach was swollen and painful, and his stomach was rolling.I can't keep my eyelids open.She felt that someone was pressing her stomach hard, and heard hurried footsteps and eager voices.Glad to be alive, alive.

Suddenly, she felt something pressed against her lips.The soft, warm, and rushing strange thing was sucking her mouth hard.She opened her eyes with all her strength, but she saw a blurry human face breathing from mouth to mouth.Suddenly, there was a rolling in the throat, and a bad-smelling liquid sprayed out of the mouth, followed by coughing.

The stranger saw Ziqiu woke up, gave her a cold look, then got up and left wet.

"Thank you..." Ziqiu managed to utter a word from his throat, and the man left without looking back.

"Girl, if the young man hadn't saved you! You would have died! Be careful in the future!" An old woman next to her warned worriedly.

"Well! Thank you!" Ziqiu lay on the ground, feeling weak and cold all over.Come here for a while.She tried to stand up and walked to the stone bridge.Ready to pack my portfolio and go back to school.It turned out that the painting I just painted had disappeared, and the empty folder was left alone on the stone pier.No way, who would add insult to injury and take advantage of others.Today is a day of unlucky luck.Ziqiu hugged his body with his hands and stood on the bridge trembling.

"Girl, change your clothes!" The old lady who left turned around and came back, still holding a sky blue skirt in her hand.

"Oh! It's okay, thank you!" Ziqiu said shyly.

"I have clothes here, come home and change first, or I'll catch a cold in a while!" The old lady stepped forward, took Ziqiu's hand and walked home.

"It's not far, across the bridge is my house!" The old woman said, looking at Ziqiu carefully.

"Thank you mother-in-law!" Ziqiu changed her skirt and wiped her hair.Said with a red face and a smile.

"Silly boy, take it easy next time, there is moss by the river. Come, eat a bowl of noodles. It's warm!" The mother-in-law smiled kindly, and came out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Thank you very much." Ziqiu hurried forward to take the noodles and put them on the table.

"Eat, eat well and go home early to rest!"

"Well, thank you!" Ziqiu ate, his eyes turned red.

The old woman had been standing by the side looking at Ziqiu kindly.

"Mother-in-law, I'll bring you the clothes tomorrow! I'm lucky to have you today!" Ziqiu said goodbye to the old woman at the door.

"It's okay! Come back quickly! By the way, I'll give you some change to take the car!"

"Oh! Thank you, I forgot to bring my bag today, mother-in-law, you are so kind! I will bring it to you tomorrow." Ziqiu bowed gratefully to the old woman.Step by step, looking back, he walked to the stone bridge with a smile, carried the portfolio on his back, picked up the paint box and left.

Ziqiu's figure standing on the stone bridge is so beautiful, with long hair and skirt fluttering in the wind. This is the first time she wears a skirt.Behind the railing in the attic of the old woman's house, stood a tall boy.On the cold face, the corners of the mouth were slightly raised.

Sitting in the car, Ziqiu finally felt at ease.Half a day passed like a roller coaster.I almost lost my life, and I feel very scared when I think about it.The feeling of helplessness and suffocation in the water is really worse than death.

Water, Ziqiu loves its beauty, her emptiness.But more afraid of its deadly nature.Looking at the flashing scenery outside the window, Ziqiu remembered the first time he fell into the water.Fortunately, he was there at that time.This time, Ziqiu's nose was sour, and his eyes were rolling in their sockets.Always a good crowd, thank you, stranger!

That him, how many times Ziqiu has warned himself, can't mention it again.It's a pity that it always floats out of my mind unintentionally, like a ghost.The more I thought about it, the more memories or fantasies gushed out like a fountain.He is married, and his children should all go to school.Talented and beautiful, the child must be cute and smart.What will he be like when he is old?Why!Maybe we won't be able to see each other again when we die.

Because of her wild thoughts, she sat until the terminal and was yelled at by the driver to get off the bus.When she got off the car, she was still in a drowsy state, and she hadn't completely escaped from her fantasy.

She stood on the side of the road, a little dizzy from the afternoon sun.I stumbled to the station sign to see how many stops I missed.Two stops, not too much.She smiled smugly. Fortunately, it was not 5 stops, but [-] stops.That would crawl back to school.But then again, human potential is limitless.

Back at school, Ziqiu's decadent mood finally found a place to belong.When she passed by the supermarket, she remembered that she had to thank the old woman tomorrow, so she should buy something for her! After shopping a few times in the supermarket, she bought a box of pure milk, two bags of black sesame paste and a pot of bluegrass.

"Ziqiu, what are you buying these things for?" Duo'er just came back from the outside, when passing by the supermarket, she saw Ziqiu holding a pot of bluegrass and carrying big and small bags.

"It's a long story, but it's thanks to you! Hold it for me!" Ziqiu put the orchid grass in Duo'er's hand.

"It's none of my business again! By the way, it's because of the right nerve, she can wear skirts, haha, it seems that something is going to happen!" Duo'er saw her wearing a skirt for the first time, ten years later. Alright, the beautiful Girls' Generation is coming to an end before I realize it!

"It fell into the water! Borrow it to wear it, and send it back tomorrow!"

"I fell into the water! Are you okay!" Duo'er looked Ziqiu up and down nervously.

"Fate! It's okay! Go back to the dormitory, I'm tired today!"

"Poor girl, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not protecting you well!" Duo'er blamed herself, and took the milk from Ziqiu's hand.

"That's more or less the same!" Ziqiu smiled triumphantly.

The two returned to the dormitory, Duo'er put all the things on the table, Ziqiu lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

"I have to wash the skirt quickly!" Ziqiu sat up from the bed, changed the skirt, and took it to the laundry sink on the balcony to wash.

"I'll come, you go to bed!" Duo'er picked up the broom and was sweeping the floor.

"It's okay! I still have some strength. It should dry out after a night of drying!"

"By the way, what happened to you today?" Duo'er was full of curiosity and concern.

"Actually, it's nothing?" Ziqiu held his chin and recalled in his mind.She continued: "After finishing my painting, I went to the river to wash my brushes and palette, but my foot slipped and I fell into the water. Fortunately, I met a kind person. No, there should be two. There are One rescued me from the river. The other mother-in-law invited me to eat noodles at home, and lent me clothes and money for the car back.”

"It's really lucky! It's good to be beautiful! Wherever there is a problem, I can help you. Even my mother-in-law likes it. It seems that you will be very lucky in the future!"

"Yes. I thought so too. But I can't remember who rescued me from the shore. I only remember the old woman." Ziqiu recalled in his mind, it was very vague, and he couldn't remember the face. It should be said that she opened her eyes. At that time, only a blurred face was seen.Then his stomach rolled and he vomited dirty water all over him.Then the man turned and left.

"Male or female?"

"Male! He looks very tall!" Ziqiu said with certainty.

"Amitabha, fortunately you are fine! Otherwise, how would I explain to your mother!" Duo'er put her hands together and nodded non-stop.

"It's okay! It's not that serious! If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed!" Ziqiu laughed.

"Are you still going tomorrow? No rest!"

"Go, I told you I'll go back tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Forget it, your plans can't keep up with the changes!"

"Hey, you still understand me! I'll call for dinner to show my thanks!"

"The meal in the cafeteria is just a matter of thought, no way! Treat me to a big meal tomorrow night!"

"Okay! It's just a meal, but this month is just halfway through, and my living expenses are almost used up!"

"Okay! Just kidding. Where's the ration for the two of you! You've finished eating, eat mine. I still have a lot in my meal card!" Seeing Duo'er's embarrassed look, Ziqiu couldn't help coaxing she.

"Forget Xu Yanmu! Hurry up and find a partner!" Duo'er whispered, squinting at Ziqiu's expression.

"Who is Xu Yanmu? Do you know him? I don't know him!"

"Tough mouth!" After finishing speaking, Duo'er lay on the bed and picked up the novel and read it with relish.

Ziqiu looked at the skirt hanging on the balcony, it looked bluer under the sunlight, like an ethereal sky, which made the eyes extremely comfortable.At this moment, her mind seemed to return to that summer.A familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared under the blue sky.No, I said I won't mention him again.

Go to sleep, you don't have to think about anything when you fall asleep.After a while, Ziqiu fell asleep on the bed, and Duoer read the novel all afternoon.When it was dinner time, Duo'er didn't have the heart to wake her up, so let's sleep with her, saving one dinner is considered weight loss.
