shame

In the evening, after eating and resting for a while, Xia He remembered Gu Sheng's invitation when he came back from fishing, so he rolled over from the bamboo bed and was about to walk towards his place through the back door.

But when they walked outside the door of the house, they heard voices from inside. It seemed that they still got together as usual, but instead of playing poker, they played mahjong instead.Xia Heyi glanced at them from the door frame, and his eyes naturally locked on Gu Sheng, but the other party didn't notice him at all because they were too involved in bidding.

So, he simply went to the counter, asked for the batteries of the TV remote control, and then turned around without saying anything.That little thought was very strange. He wanted to get close to Gu Sheng, but he was afraid that he would disturb him.It's like the hand you want to get close to, but withdraws because you're afraid of being left out.

Back in the room, he answered the phone call, which was from Zhou Yu, but the signal in the countryside was not very good, the two of them talked intermittently, and stopped at the stage of guessing each other in many places.

Zhou Yu said: "We haven't seen each other for so many days, I don't know if you miss me."

Xia He felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. This sentence is nothing at all, the key is that the other party was imitating the coquettishness of a woman when he said it.He said: "Don't disgust me, I just finished eating."

"Haha, I'm kidding you. Besides, our good brothers, is there any problem with saying something nasty?"

"……no problem."

He lowered his face helplessly, Zhou Yu looked like a gentle and normal person when he was serious, but once he started messing around, he would lose all integrity.

"I've been forced by my dad to learn to drive these days. I'm so annoyed. By the way, are you having fun in the country?"

"Not bad, eat and drink, drink and sleep."

"It's so comfortable, I'm so envious."

He also pretended to sigh.

Xia He poked his head out of the window to make the signal stronger.He remembered something, looked into the distance, and said in a calm tone, "Guess who I met here?"

"Who? Your first love goddess?"

"It's not...it's Gu Sheng."

"Gu Sheng?" Zhou Yu asked in a questioning tone as if he hadn't realized it for a while, and then repeated with a stronger tone: "Gu Sheng?"

"Yup……"

"Why is he here?"

"Hey, it's a long story."

"Tsk tsk, you two didn't fight again, did you?" Zhou Yu asked with great interest.

"...don't mention which pot is not open."

Zhou Yu chuckled, and then said in a solemn tone: "You two, it's good to get along with each other in harmony. People are not bad. You will know after a long time of contact. What happened before is over. Your lord has a lot. Don't compare yourself to him."

Xia He thought to himself, I don't have the ability to argue with others.But in order to cater to the other party's tone, he changed his mind and said: "You are very good at being a middleman, and you know him very well?"

"I'm not familiar with you, it's a close relationship. I'm afraid that you will suffer because of your stubborn temper."

After hearing this, Xia He sneered, and the clouds and mist accumulated inexplicably in his heart dispersed.The two chattered a few more irrelevant words, and finally ended with 'see you next month'.

The next day was still sunny, but the sun was milder and the breeze was cooler.

Chenchen usually doesn't go out to play very much, and he doesn't have many friends, probably because of his restrained personality.He can sit in the room almost all afternoon, blowing on the fan, and scribbling on paper with various pencils.It seems that when the lines are intertwined and slowly formed into shapes one after another, it is also the time when the most secret place in his heart is exposed.

Xia He would occasionally accompany him by his side, sometimes because he was bored, and sometimes because he was afraid that he would be bored.The two of them didn't say anything, but it could be seen that Chenchen was relaxed when getting along with Xiahe.

He gradually thought that maybe it was because he once had a time similar to Chenchen's, a similar loneliness, a similar soul. the same.

At this moment, Gu Sheng was passing by Uncle Xia He's house on his bicycle, and saw his grandmother sitting inside peeling corn, so he said hello, then glanced at the window sill on the second floor, and asked, "Is Xia He at home?"

Grandma pointed up and said, "Yes, upstairs." Then she started calling him.

Xia He heard the sound and went downstairs: "What's wrong?"

"A young man is looking for you."

After the sound, he looked up and saw Gu Sheng stepping on the bicycle pedal at the door.The white shirt on the other party was dazzling in the afternoon sun.

Gu Sheng asked, "Going to town?"

"What are you doing in town?"

Xia He approached him, putting his hands into his trouser pockets.

"Go there and have a look, ride a bicycle."

Gu Sheng didn't look like he was expecting Xia He to say hello, he felt dispensable and casual, maybe he just happened to pass by and thought of Xia He.If the other party doesn't agree, it doesn't matter if you are alone.

Looking at him, Xia He said out of nowhere: If you beg me, I might think about it.But these words just flashed through his mind. Although he didn't know whether the other party was expecting it or just asked it casually, he still nodded and said, "Okay."

So, he went to push the bicycle, stepped on the pedal, and rode along the winding road among the rice fields with Gu Sheng.

A gentle breeze blew across his face with the fragrance of rice.Both of them were wearing shirts, which were blown up by the wind and floated like waves.

Xia He didn't know if it was his first time to go to the town, anyway, he was; he didn't know if he knew the way, anyway, he didn't.So he followed Gu Sheng closely, even the front wheel of the bicycle was careful not to overtake him.

Sometimes he would deliberately ride slowly to keep a little distance from Gu Sheng, because that way he could quietly watch Gu Sheng's back, but not for a long time, and when the other party glanced at him, he would immediately ride in front.

Through rice fields, mulberry fields, streams and lakesides.Xia He felt a little weak to push the pedals under his feet. Before lunch, he felt a little dizzy in his head.In fact, the town is not far away, but I don't know if Gu Sheng led the wrong way.

"Wait." He stopped, raised his hand to press his temple and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

Gu Sheng hurriedly braked and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, maybe it will be fine in a while."

The headache got worse and worse, Xia He felt that pressing his temples was useless, so he covered his chest, the chest was also very stuffy, as if he was locked in a steamer.He even wanted to crouch on the side of the road and vomit, but he didn't have such a strong reaction yet.

"You look very pale." Gu Sheng said.

"The sun shines."

"No, your lips are very white. I didn't see you like this when you first came out." Gu Sheng parked his bicycle and walked towards him, "Are you sick?"

Xia He didn't speak, but felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and had an urge to fall headfirst to the ground.In the next moment, he really almost passed out, but luckily Gu Sheng stretched out his hand to support him.

"Why are your arms so cold? You must be sick."

As Gu Sheng spoke, he looked around, and saw an old man carrying a hoe walking towards him not far away, he hurriedly waved his hand.

After the old man approached, he helped Xia He go forward and said, "Master, my friend suddenly feels unwell, do you know if there is a hospital near here, and a clinic is also available?"

The old man said with a dialect accent: "There are in the town." He pointed in the direction with his finger, then looked at Xia He with a disheveled face and asked, "Did you have a fever?"

"Shape?" Gu Sheng frowned, as if he had never heard of this disease.

Xia He on the side endured the discomfort and leaned closer to his ear and said two words: "Heatstroke."

Only then did he suddenly realize, he nodded quickly and said, "Maybe."

"My house is right in front, how about this, you come with me, I'll help him scrape and scrape, and go to the hospital when he feels better."

Gu Sheng glanced at the small village not far away, thinking that this old man seemed like a good person, not to mention the current situation was the only way to go.He asked Xia He, "Can I still ride a bike?" Xia He felt so weak that he didn't even want to walk, let alone ride a bike.But he didn't say it out of face, he just glanced sideways at his old bicycle.But Gu Sheng immediately understood, put his arms around his waist and said, "Then let it stay here, come and get it later, anyway, it was stolen and you still have one."

These words refer to the one I gave him.

Xia He obviously didn't have the heart to joke with him, he just wanted to make himself more comfortable quickly, that feeling was too uncomfortable, like he was holding his breath in his chest and couldn't get it out.

The uncle said: "No one will ride away here, don't worry."

So, Gu Sheng supported the weak Xia He, and followed the old man to the small village.

When he arrived at the old man's house, he brought a bowl of water for them to drink.Immediately, he sat down in front of Xia He with a gourd ladle filled with clear water, dipped his fingers in the water, rubbed the center of Xia He's eyebrows twice, and then began to pinch.

Xia He felt the pain, but clenched his teeth so as not to make a sound.The old man's rough fingers are very strong, pinching between his eyebrows one by one, like picking leeks.Xia He was about to burst into tears from the pain, but finally couldn't help but let out a cold hiss.

Gu Sheng asked from the side: "Master, what are you doing?"

"Scraping."

I have heard of scraping, but I don't know it is this scraping method.After pinching the center of the eyebrows, the next thing was the inner sides of the arms, which were all white and tender, and it hurt when pinched, which made Gu Sheng break out in a cold sweat.

After finishing the work, Xia He's eyebrows were dark red, as if he was clogged with blood, but there was only a small mark.But the effect was obvious, Xia He's lip color immediately recovered, his head gradually became clear, and his chest tightness seemed to be much better.

Gu Sheng joked on the side: "You really look like Erlang Shen."

Xia He obviously didn't know what happened to his forehead at this time, but felt that it was still aching, so he stretched out his hand to touch it, but he was powerless to refute Gu Sheng.

The two rested at the old man's house for a while, ate a few pieces of melon, and chatted a little about homework. Xia He felt much better, so he bid farewell to the old man and prepared to continue to the town.
