……

"Get up." The bedroom light was turned on.

Fu Luojia opened his eyes in response, and closed them again because he couldn't bear the sudden light, and fell into a dream for less than three seconds in an instant-the dead leaves finally filled the ravine he was in, and he was covered. Tight and solid, from head to toe, it is impervious to light.

But that feeling was immediately tempered by a sense of anticipation that had arisen from the moment I opened my eyes and realized it was Saturday.

The door frame was slapped heavily.

"Get up! Do you hear me! Do you want me to say it a third time?"

He quickly turned over and sat up. "... rise up."

"I told you to use pillows to raise your feet, but you didn't listen!" His mother walked to the bed, squatted down and pulled his trousers up, "What's the matter—why is the scar broken again?! I said you are always Who are you trying to make trouble with?"

It took a while for Fu Luojia to wake up and understand what she was talking about, and looked down.

A strange pink oozes from beneath the gauze.

His fingers gripped the sheets. "...forgot when I was sleeping."

His mother neatly removed the gauze and stuffed his feet into the sandals next to him. "Forget everything, why didn't you forget to eat and sleep? Go to the living room to change your medicine."

Sudden and sudden cold pain came from the wound directly exposed to the air.He tried his best to ignore it, but a brownish-red round spot was always inlaid in his peripheral vision.

Walking is not a big problem now, and the place where I was burned no longer looks like something boiling on the surface, but it still feels scary.

"Breakfast is on the table. It's okay for you to heat up your own meal at noon, right? It's ready in the refrigerator. I'll go to your grandpa's place to have a look. The bowls for noon are also placed together with the morning ones. I'll come back to wash them at night."

He first stood in front of the TV cabinet for a while, then walked slowly to the dining table and sat down.

"What are you doing?" His mother raised her voice.

He put down the chopsticks he picked up, "...what's wrong?"

"You started eating breakfast without washing up? And didn't I just tell you to change your dressing first? What's going on with you recently, you're absent-minded, I don't know what you're thinking—"

"Then I... I'll change the medicine first." He finally remembered what he was going to do when he walked to the TV cabinet just now.

The ointment was translucent, and he watched as his palms were slowly covered with something shiny.

"Is it over? Why are you so dawdling, go brush your teeth!"

He shook his hand, "...OK."

Then he stood up from the sofa and held on.

He stared at the ointment that was applied to the sofa cushion for a while, and after he realized it, he pulled a few pieces of paper to wipe it off, but the ointment had already penetrated a lot, leaving a dark mark that couldn't be wiped off.

... The breakfast is still the same.

"You can't even finish such a little porridge? After eating the cabbage core, you must also finish the eggs. Don't just throw it away like last time! Just stay at home alone, don't be like usual when your feet are like this Thinking about going out every day, there is nothing good outside waiting for you to pick up the leaks!"

"Play fewer games, go online less often, strangers are not allowed to reply to messages! I will read all your social accounts, don't think about doing small tricks, imitating those people's love...do you think there is anyone in the world? Will you say that you like you for no reason? It's all about your money and your appearance!"

His mother finally put on her high heels and was about to open the door. She put her hand on the doorknob and turned around suddenly: "I suspected that you were in a relationship. You are out of your mind. I will call you, Teacher Ye later." Ask—"

Fu Luojia didn't react much. "I don't. You ask."

The door was closed.

For the next two hours, he turned on the TV, switched to the record channel, and lay back on the sofa listening to the penguins in a daze.When it was close to ten o'clock, the phone vibrated, and he glanced at it, it wasn't Xu Zhijian.

But it reminded him that he should think of something to do, instead of just waiting like this - but the picture in his mind is all about the stain he is sleeping on, without any leeway to mobilize the muscles of the body.

A little itching around the wound.The ointment had an odd rotten smell for some reason.

It took him quite a while to unlock the phone.Li Shuyi sent a message on WeChat saying that Zhao Min used to have a jewelry around her neck, but her roommate noticed that the jewelry was gone after careful observation today.Her roommate recalled again, saying that the jewelry should be a silver chain.

"It's really her. How shameless, how dare you wear someone else's things openly?"

After 10 minutes, Fu Luojia finally typed and sent it: "It may be a misunderstanding. Let's talk about it later, there is no rush to return the things for the time being."

Li Shuyi was still very angry: "What's the matter with good grades, the character is not so disgusting."

After the end here, it happened to be almost time, so he dialed a number to Xu Zhijian, and pressed the speakerphone.

The beep went off for 20 seconds.Xu Zhibian answered, and yawned before speaking: "Is she gone?"

"……Correct."

"Have you had breakfast too?"

"Ah."

"That's fine." Xu Zhijian smiled, "Look for Brother Lin's car at the supermarket, you saw it last time."

"Understood...is there anything else I need to bring?"

Fu Luojia felt that he shouldn't be so calm, as if he had done this many times before.

"It's all in the car. It's okay for you to go downstairs by yourself, or I'd better come up?"

"No. I'm fine."

……

Like all places where rivers pass by, the county town also has a riverside road, which has not been developed much, and the road is full of dust.

This road runs to the end, and it takes only half an hour to drive to the neighboring town.The car passed through one tunnel after another dug in the granite mountain, turned through several dangerous bends, and went upstream along the river bank.

As soon as we went upstream, the river water began to change drastically, as if being drifted by grass leaves in a dense forest, it changed from the muddy yellow color when it flowed through the county town to a clear light blue color.

Fu Luojia turned his face away, Xu Zhibian handed over a cup of yogurt with a straw in his hand.

He tasted it. "good."

Xu Zhibian handed over the sandwich in the other hand.

Fu Luojia still took a bite very cooperatively, and then asked a question: "Is this your breakfast?"

It's almost eleven o'clock.

Xu Zhibian nodded, took two or three mouthfuls to settle the rest, took a sip of yogurt before saying: "It's late."

"Have you had enough? There are still a few pieces of chocolate in the front bag." Lin Yan—Fu Luojia just knew his name—asked slightly, turning his head slightly.

"No more. Do you want to eat?" Xu Zhibian asked him.

Fu Luojia shook his head.At this time, there happened to be a sharp right turn, and Xu Zhibian approached it confidently.

Fu Luojia dodged his hand touching his head.

"Haven't recovered yet?" Xu Zhijian said "tsk", "Don't move around."

Fu Luojia hadn't recovered yet, feeling that he was on his way to robbing a bank - the fear of being discovered and the enthusiasm for the matter itself tormented his nerves at the same time.

Very outrageous, very inappropriate, very dangerous, and yet very comfortable.

He had expected this when he agreed, but he agreed anyway.

Xu Zhibian said, do you want to go to Langsha Town on Saturday?Just the two of us.

He nodded, trembling with fear.

The river in Langsha Town is very beautiful. The most famous one is a clear pool called 'Xiadan Pond', which has natural five colors.In summer, many local people will come to tread water and swim.He came here once when his mother had a party, but it wasn't very pleasant—an uncle from his mother's department dragged him to swim in the river, and he didn't see his mother's expression, so he agreed on his own.

He still remembered how he felt when he floated up from the water and saw his mother sitting sullenly on a big rock by the bank.

His mother was wearing a long black dress, which was out of place with the men and women in swimsuits that seemed to be shining because of the water droplets around them.

"Are you going back? What time is it?"

But less than 5 minutes passed.He opened his mouth to explain, but choked on a big mouthful of water.

The water of such a beautiful color actually smells like rust.

The car finally stopped under a grape arbor outside a farmhouse not far from Xiadanchi.Fu Luojia got out of the car, looked up and saw a lot of green grapes hanging on the vine.

At this time, the temperature has gone up, but the temperature of the river water may still be a little cold.

"Let's go to lunch first, just go in and report my name." Lin Yan took out a large bag from the trunk. "I've booked rooms and seats for you guys. Have fun this afternoon." He patted Fu Luojia on the shoulder, "Relax."

The family of three also just got off the bus.The father carrying a big crocodile swim ring hugged his daughter in a Pikachu swimsuit. The daughter giggled and reached out to grab the hanging vines, and the mother smiled at them.

"Come over to play too?"

"Yes."

"Yaya is called brother." The father tilted his daughter, and the daughter smiled even more happily. "Pot pot—!"

Xu Zhibian returned with a bright smile: "Hello."

Fu Luojia averted his eyes.

The window of the private room is facing the river, and when he reached out to open the window, a sparrow was startled away.

"What are you going to do in the afternoon?" He turned around and asked Xu Zhijian. "I can't get in the water."

"I brought a fishing rod."

He laughed. "So strong. Sit by the river all afternoon?"

"I also brought swimming trunks. Of course," Xu Zhibian added, "only my own."

"I fish, you swim?" An incredible arrangement.

"Then I'll swim, watch me swim."
