fierce god

City V and City U are one in the north and the other in the south, and it’s too far away by train, so the school that Li Yinglan participated in the competition had to pay for the air ticket, but because Gao Kun was with her, the money was paid by the Li family themselves, so they simply chose A good seat, and even the board and lodging along the way are different from ordinary contestants.

Li Yinglan is natural, but Gao Kun, who has never taken a plane or stayed in such a good hotel since childhood, was still full of curiosity along the way, and could not help but quietly study and judge the various places he went, and even made a few small jokes Fortunately, Li Yinglan didn't dislike him very much, and explained it kindly.

After arriving in V City, Li Yinglan set foot on the field the next day after making some settlements. He thought it was nothing special, but seeing Gao Kun's nervous appearance, he told him not to drink too much water, because he was afraid of eating greasy food in the morning After a while, it was uncomfortable to enter the examination room. I checked repeatedly whether all the documents were ready, which was even worse than ordinary parents.

The exam lasted two hours, Li Yinglan asked Gao Kun to find a place to go by himself, and don't wait for him at the door, but it took him an hour to finish the exam questions, and when he left the exam room, most of the students voted in horror As a result, before reaching the gate, I saw a familiar figure poking in the middle like a telegraph pole from a long distance. The weather at the end of November, the north is already close to zero, and the strong wind will not freeze to death. Yes, but it can also make people feel cold, and the person in front of him is not wearing much at all, a thin sweater and a cotton jacket, compared to many wrapped with bears and looking for various Parents who are sheltering from the cold with obstacles, it is too summer.

However, when he saw Li Yinglan walking towards him, this person quickly smiled and greeted her.

Li Yinglan frowned and said, "I'm not telling you not to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Kun shook off the wool cap in his hand and put it on Yinglan's head: "It doesn't matter." After all, V City is out of town, and he is not familiar with the place, so he was afraid that Li Yinglan would not be able to find him when he came out, and he would be anxious.

Li Yinglan raised her head, and seemed to have a lot of opinions on this inexplicable thing, but she heard Gao Kun say: "The temperature difference between here and U City is too much, you still have to wear it if you are not used to it, and you can't freeze it." head on..."

"Where did you come from?" Li Yinglan asked with her mouth pursed.

Gao Kun held Li Yinglan's face to cover him, then carefully adjusted the bangs that covered his eyes, and said, "I bought it."

The rough wool tied Li Yinglan's forehead, and it was still a strange red color. Li Yinglan looked at Gao Kun's red nose and ears, and endured it, but still didn't reach out to peel it off.

"Why don't you?" Li Yinglan asked while rubbing her hands.

Gao Kun pulled his hand over, held it and put it in his pocket, and the two went back to the hotel together: "I'm used to this temperature."

"Huh?" Li Yinglan was surprised, and then she thought again, "Is the weather like this in your house?"

"Well, almost."

"North? Where?" Li Yinglan asked.

Gao Kun paused: "Province Y."

Li Yinglan looked over.

"County F."

Li Yinglan couldn't take her eyes off her.

Gao Kun had no choice but to continue: "G Town... Moran Village, it's very remote, a place you don't know about."

"Can I get there without a car?" Li Yinglan stood next to Gao Kun, allowing him to block most of the cold wind for herself.

Gao Kun's hair was blown messily in the wind, revealing his broad forehead: "Yes, after getting off the train, you have to change to a short distance, and then walk a certain distance to get there."

As soon as Li Yinglan raised her head, she met Gao Kun's eyes. It was rare that there was no smile on her face, but her eyes were deep and distant.

"Do you miss home?" Li Yinglan said, "Miss your mother?"

Gao Kun shook his head: "She passed away a long time ago, just now..."

"what?"

Gao Kun gritted his teeth and said softly, "This season."

Li Yinglan fell silent, and Gao Kun didn't say anything, the two walked hand in hand in the howling cold wind, relying on the touching palms to maintain the warmth of involvement.

After eating at the restaurant and returning to the hotel room, Li Yinglan took a shower first, followed by Gao Kun, who packed his luggage and planned to catch the plane back to City U tomorrow, but when he was sorting out their documents, Li Yinglan was suddenly taken aback.

When Gao Kun came out of the shower, he saw him on the phone. After saying a few words to Li Yinglan, he hung up. Gao Kun asked him what was the matter.

Every time the two of them sleep together, Gao Kun is tall and has long legs, even if he doesn't want to, he takes up most of the area. Afraid of the cold, in this kind of weather, when he fell asleep, he would fall into Gao Kun's arms and put his cold hands and feet on his body.

It's the same now, lying down and feeling that Gao Kun is halfway away from him, Li Yinglan shrank her feet and said, "It's cold..."

Gao Kun quickly moved over, opened his arms, and Ren Li Yinglan hung up like a little koala, feeling the other's head pressed against his chin, and the cool breath brushing over his chest.

After a while, Li Yinglan's muffled voice came from her chest: "The cold noodles in V City are delicious."

Gao Kun smiled. Li Yinglan is very interested in dark cuisines from all over the world now, and she doesn't know where she heard it from.

"It was only available in summer, but it's gone now."

"Have you eaten?" Li Yinglan asked.

Gao Kun thought for a while: "I have eaten similar ones at home."

Li Yinglan raised her head: "Is your house beautiful?"

Today it was the second time to mention that place. In the dark, Gao Kun didn't go to see Li Yinglan, but just silently looked at the dark curtain, as if he was looking at something through it.

"The house...is not beautiful, but the scenery outside is still beautiful."

"What's the view?" Li Yinglan asked with rare interest.

Gao Kun pondered for a while: "There are many wild flowers and many mountains. In spring, there will be fog. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at it, it is like a fairy. In winter, it snows heavily, and the sky and the ground are white. Go down Can bury people."

Li Yinglan looked at Gao Kun, the other party squinted, and there was a misty look on his face. Li Yinglan couldn't understand it, so let's take him as a kind of nostalgia and yearning for Gao Kun. Gao Kun's family is very poor, maybe his childhood Not as smooth as many children, but after being away for so long, I will always miss it, just like myself, he does not miss Green Rock Garden, but every time Li Xiaoyun takes him abroad, Li Yinglan will want to come back within two days, no matter where It is not good to have your own territory, even if it may not be very happy there.

That night, Gao Kun held Li Yinglan in his arms and talked about many family matters, including scenery, snacks, and some naughty experiences when he was a child. The plot is still quite jumpy, the front foot is talking about the story of raising geese, and the back is going to pick apricots from the tree and gets beaten, but Li Yinglan still listens very enthusiastically, frowning or smiling along with her from time to time, and I don’t know how late I heard it fell asleep in a daze...

The next morning, Gao Kun got up early, and just after washing up, he heard the doorbell ring. He went out and opened the door before coming in, holding a tray in his hand and staring blankly at Li Yinglan who was climbing out of bed.

Li Yinglan rubbed her eyes, walked up to Gao Kun and opened the lid, and saw a bowl lying inside, a candle and a lighter beside it.

Li Yinglan plugged in the candle, then lit up sparks, lit it, and raised her chin to meet Gao Kun's shocked gaze.

"This is……"

"I called."

"This is……"

"Room Service."

"This is……"

Gao Kun still used these silly words, and Li Yinglan could only explain to him: "I asked them what they had, and they said they only had cakes. I don't like cakes, and you don't like cakes either, right? Candles, this one is the most suitable, um, it looks good now."

Seeing that Gao Kun was still silent, Li Yinglan frowned: "Did I read it wrong? But your temporary ID card says today's birthday."

Gao Kun blinked and whispered two words: "Birthday..."

Li Yinglan laughed: "Aren't you used to it?"

Gao Kun nodded: "I didn't..." I didn't celebrate my birthday.

It's just that Li Yinglan doesn't like to engage in this kind of thing, he doesn't even care about his own, so he didn't pay attention to Gao Kun last year, but this time Gao Kun gave him a very satisfying gift, Li Yinglan was very happy, it was the first time He felt that birthdays were not as annoying as those celebration parties at home. He felt that Gao Kun should also enjoy it, but from Gao Kun's words, he felt that the other party should not be like himself because he didn't like the atmosphere. of.

Why is that?

No conditions?nobody?

Either way made Li Yinglan feel a little uncomfortable, but she still said calmly: "Then now I have one and you have one, it's fair."

Gao Kun's expression was stiff for a while, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't come back to his senses until he looked up and saw Li Yinglan's face. Although he still looked cold and indifferent, the hidden light in those big eyes seemed to be called anticipation Light.Yinglan really hoped that she would like it?Thinking of this, Gao Kun's heart twitched, and then it was like a small hole was melted by hot water like filaments, and the scalding temperature slowly flowed into the empty and empty heart along that spot.

"Thank you, thank you..." Gao Kun raised a smile, but it was a little distorted, uglier than crying.

Surprise flashed in Li Yinglan's eyes, but it was soon replaced by satisfaction, he bent his eyes and waved to Gao Kun, and walked to the bathroom by himself: "Hurry up, blow it, you can eat it, for breakfast, if it tastes good, I will order another one later. "

Gao Kun looked at Li Yinglan's back, and then turned back to look at the flickering candlelight, but he couldn't bear to say anything. In the end, Li Yinglan came out and saw the half-melted candle and couldn't bear to replace it.

After eating the omelette, the two went to the airport. Unexpectedly, when boarding the plane, Gao Kun was shocked again. Looking at the information on the boarding pass, Gao Kun's gentle face turned into deep lines. , greeted Li Yinglan in disbelief.

Li Yinglan took off the ugly hat on her head, hugged it to her chest and said without raising her head, "I really want to go back. This place is so close. What a great opportunity."

Gao Kun pinched the ticket, his fingertips turned pale from exertion.

Li Yinglan's crisp and faint voice was still next to her ear, she didn't look like a child at all: "If I think I'm too busy, I can change my sign and go back to U city in time, so I'll use the money in my card first, and wait until I get the prize this time." Fill."

After saying this, he didn't interfere with Gao Kun's thoughts anymore, even if he was about to board the plane, he didn't urge him, and let the big man sit there with a cold face and stiff hands and feet, until Gao Kun picked up the luggage by himself After standing up, Li Yinglan followed him and silently walked into the boarding gate to Province Y.

Province Y is also in the north, and it is only over an hour's flight away from City V. Gao Kun has been silent all the way, but he has not ignored Li Yinglan's movements. He didn't let go.

Li Yinglan didn't disturb Gao Kun's tense nerves any more. He obediently followed Gao Kun and waited on the side of the road for half an hour, and then got on an old minibus. It's not a prosperous place, but as the drive progresses, the scenery outside becomes more and more remote. Later, only the vast mountains can be seen, and it takes a long time to see a few small tile-roofed houses arched in it.

After getting out of the car, Gao Kun took Li Yinglan for another four to ten minutes on the mountain road. The climate here is indeed exactly the same as that of City V. If it wasn't for the hat Gao Kun bought, Li Yinglan thought her head must have been frozen into a hockey puck.

Suddenly his face became hot, it was Gao Kun's hand, he touched Li Yinglan's face, and said the first words since getting off the plane.

"It's freezing, it's here."

Li Yinglan gave a soft "hmm".

It must have snowed in the morning, and the mud under my feet was covered with snow foam, and I could squeeze out the dirt when I stepped on it. Li Yinglan's brand-new sneakers were immersed in it repeatedly, and it didn't take long for it to completely dim.

Li Yinglan didn't care, he had been paying attention to the surrounding scenery, even if it remained unchanged for more than ten minutes, he still looked at it seriously, until the two turned into a village, Gao Kun said: "It's here .”

I saw that the ground was the same as the dirt road I had walked for a long time before, but the two sides were not even as good as the previous tile-roofed houses. The better ones were built with a few bricks, and the bad ones were like dilapidated houses piled up with mud. Li Yinglan used to I have heard in books that the gap between rich and poor in this country is huge, but it is not as shocking as what I saw with my own eyes.

He felt that Gao Kun was holding his hand hard, and Li Yinglan felt a little pain, but he didn't make a sound.

Gao Kun walked inwards along the winding path. There was a small sun in the winter afternoon, but there were not many people in the village. Finally, he met a few women carrying baskets who didn't know where they were going. He was stunned when he saw them. He was stunned, then hesitantly looked up and down curiously: "Ah, Kunzi, you're back?!"

Without waiting for Gao Kun to respond, she raised her voice and shouted, and the next moment, heads of several houses poked out, saying hello and exchanging pleasantries.They spoke their hometown dialect, and Li Yinglan didn't quite understand it, but he could understand everyone's name Gao Kun, and Gao Kun kept smiling, and the scene was quite lively for a while.

Many people pointed at Li Yinglan, Gao Kun kept shaking his head and explaining something to them, then pulled Li Yinglan to continue walking.

Li Yinglan has always been quiet, and he did not put on the attitude that strangers should not enter as before. He even put away the cold breath on his body, but no matter how much he tried to pretend to be approachable, he still looked like two people with these villagers. world.

"What did they say?" Li Yinglan asked curiously after waiting for a distance.

Gao Kun raised the corner of his mouth: "They... thought you were a girl."

Li Yinglan frowned.

Gao Kun glanced at him, sighed and said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you, this place is not as good as I said, it was a poor county a few years ago, and now..." It's not much better. "We'll be leaving in a minute."

"I want to see your house." Li Yinglan said.

Gao Kun paused, then nodded: "Okay."

After walking for about ten minutes, the two stopped in front of a low house. The environment here was no different from the surrounding area, except that there were no livestock in the small yards on both sides, no clothes hanging in front of the door, and even more There is no cooking smoke.

Obviously no one lived in Gao Kun's house for a long time.
