Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

He nodded and said, "Very good."

Dong Wenwen was trapped in his own entanglement, and automatically filtered out the politeness and alienation in Lin Pai's words. What was left was an enthusiastic encouragement, which seemed to have injected him with great courage. He lowered his head and played with his fingers. , while hesitatingly said the next words.

"Actually, this matter started half a month ago. At that time, a distant cousin of mine went back to Heshan Town to apply for household registration. She was a few years older than me and had been studying in Beijing since junior high school.

One night, the seven aunts and eight aunts of the family had a meal together, and I felt that she was really different from the people in Heshan Town. She didn't do anything, but she seemed to be glowing. At first glance, she was not from Heshan Town. "

"Later I told my dad that I suddenly wanted to continue studying. My dad is still the same. Their older generation can't give us too much reference, but they respect my idea and say that if I want to repeat a year, I can take a high school exam. Okay, or just study with the freshman of Heshan High School this semester, he also has connections."

"I didn't tell him some thoughts. I don't want to stay in this Internet cafe for the rest of my life. After a year and a half of this seemingly comfortable and stable life, I can't bear it anymore. He and his mother have lived like this for most of their lives. I If so, my dad could hit me on the head with a brick."

When Dong Wenwen said this, several people came to surf the Internet, so he gave up his seat in front of the counter, sat on a chair by the wall and waited.Lin Pai took the money, turned on the machine for them, and sat beside him.

Dong Wenwen continued, "You told me before that you have now transferred to Heshan High School, and you know the level of our high school here. I didn't ask you why. Maybe... is there anything you can tell me? ?”

"I was forced to turn here." Lin Pai looked at the counter, and saw that the person who had just entered passed the counter and turned a corner, and went to the inner room to find someone, so he looked away.

Dong Wenwen waited for a while, and realized that Lin Pai didn't intend to continue, so he changed the subject, "My grades in junior high school...you know a little bit, do you think...if I follow them in the first grade of high school now, I can keep up with it?" Can I study in high school here, can I get into a big city?"

Lin Pai's mind flashed Li Chanjuan's earnest look, and then remembered the scene of students and teachers haggling over homework in the past month.

Suddenly a tall boy broke into his thoughts. This boy always lay on the table with his arms pillowed, facing himself from the left side, but Lin Pai sometimes looked at him from the corner of his eye, but he always closed his eyes.

"Actually, Heshan High School is not as bad as we imagined." Lin Pai said, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But if you can go to a better school, repeat the year That's fine too."

Dong Wenwen lowered his head, his voice was very soft, even trembling, "I still want to go back to school soon..."

"Then come back." Lin Pai finished this sentence very naturally, without asking the reason, just like Dong Wenwen didn't delve into the reason for his transfer.

Dong Wenwen looked up and saw that the other party nodded at him, lightly but firmly.

12. Chapter 12

"Hey! Stop at the intersection!"

On National Day, most people in Heshan Town went out.

Although you can't run too far, at most young people meet to go shopping in the city, and middle-aged people go to the surrounding area to see the mountains and rivers, and then use the themes of "such and such a restaurant is delicious" and "the motherland is a great river and mountain". Swipe the circle of friends, but every time the car departs from the Heshan Passenger Transport Center, it is overcrowded.

Xu Rui took the bus back to Heshan Town. Apart from him and the driver who was holding the steering wheel like a robot, there was only a wrinkled old man on the bus. , occupying three seats and sleeping soundly.

The driver braked the car at the intersection, Xu Rui was already waiting by the door, and as soon as the door was opened, he strode down.

The driver pressed the door close button, and the bus started to accelerate again, crossing a speed bump on the road.

The old man woke up with a jolt, and looked out the window. She was stupefied that the Kung Fu bus had already driven more than ten meters away, and then she seemed to react suddenly, and the crutch tapped the floor of the car hastily, "Stop, stop quickly! "

The driver is not surprised by the passenger who fell asleep in the car and oversat. He slowed down and stopped the car skillfully. Maybe it was because there was no traffic jam on the way back today, or maybe it was because no one was quiet in the car. In short, he didn’t Impatient, but very patiently waiting for the old man to get off.

The old man waited for the car to stop before getting up and walking towards the door. She was holding a cane, but it didn't seem to be very useful because she walked very steadily.

She walked to the car door and picked up several large bags of ingredients that she had put on the ground.

"Going to the city to buy groceries so early in the morning?" The driver added a word. He looked at the old man with his hands full, and the crutch was held in his hand, which was a bit cumbersome.

"The seafood on our side is not fresh enough, and the vegetable market over there is freshly pulled from the morning, which is fresher."

"Why don't you find someone else to go with you, and carry so many things by yourself."

"There is no one at home, I am enough alone." The old man responded with a smile, and walked down the two high steps of the bus carefully.

Xu Rui has just finished a week of training, and in time for the National Day, he was given a day off, and will go back to the devil training tomorrow.

He deliberately picked a drop-off point far away from home, and turned on the screen of his mobile phone. It was just after eight o'clock.

There are two situations that you will likely see when you arrive at home at this point. One is that the house is empty and He Hui hasn’t come back after gambling all night. Gotta snore loudly.

Even for a person like him who exercises every day, after such a week, he feels that there is nothing wrong with his body. He really doesn't want to go back home and quarrel with He Hui, so he changes direction at the intersection in front of him. Go home and go to school.

On the way, a bus from Heshan Town to the city came head-on, Xu Rui stepped aside and looked up by the way.

The body of the bus was rickety. Except for the last row, the front windows were all open. You could see the crowds in the bus, and there was no room to move. The passengers standing in the aisle almost pressed their faces against the wall of the car.

Those who are lucky enough to have a seat and a seat near the window are mostly facing out of the window, barely avoiding the dirty air in the car, and the wind blows in, blowing their hair into a mess.

Xu Rui thought to himself, he should go to the passenger transport center early tomorrow to grab a seat, otherwise it would be fine to stand all the way and bump along with the bus.

As he thought so, the windows in the last row were also opened from the inside.

Lin Pai's fair skin immediately stood out from the rest of the car. He was wearing white earphones and was staring at the back of the seat in front of him in a daze. Everyone is far away from him.

Before Xu Rui had time to see clearly, the bus had already passed by. He glanced back at the rear of the bus, turned around and continued walking towards the school.

-

The next day, Xu Rui overslept as expected.

The alarm clock was set on the phone next to the pillow, buzzing and vibrating endlessly, Xu Rui was too lazy to open his eyes, stretched his arms and fumbled around the bed for a long time before he found the phone, he pressed the screen open button, it was almost vibrating The moment he stopped, he fell asleep again.

After another 10 minutes, Xu Rui managed to open his eyes. He held up his mobile phone to check the time, and a row of "missed" was displayed on the screen. A total of five alarm clocks were set, and the one he just pressed was the last one.

Xu Rui sat up in a jerk, and was stunned on the bed for 30 seconds. Then he quickly changed his clothes, rushed to the bathroom to wash up hastily, and all his thoughts were "I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late".

He ran out of the room and slammed the door with a "bang". He Hui just came back outside. Her dark circles and bags under the eyes drooped, her skin was rough and dull, and she looked like someone who had overindulged.

"You're going to die! Why are you slamming the door so loudly!" He Hui clapped her hands and patted her heart, with a look of shock, "It's like hitting a ghost early in the morning. I almost gave you a heart attack!"

Xu Rui didn't have time and didn't bother to explain to her. He raised his hand and pushed He Hui who was blocking the door away a little, and rushed out on his own.

He Hui stood by the door and looked at him in bewilderment. It wasn't until his figure became smaller and smaller, that she shrunk into a dot, and then she said "crazy" and closed the door behind her backhand.

Fortunately, Heshan Town is so big. Xu Rui ran to the passenger transport center in one breath. He stopped at the gate of the station. He just bent down and pressed his knees to catch his breath, when he saw a bus bound for the city start moving. Drive towards the vehicle exit.

The vehicle exit and passenger entrance are divided into two ends of the entire passenger transport center, and the entire concrete floor in the middle is the waiting area, where buses bound for different places are parked.

Xu Rui looked at the time, even if he catches up with this trip, he might not be late, but it will take 10 minutes for the next trip.

"Damn, if you don't catch this trip, you will definitely be late." Xu Rui took a deep breath and ran towards the exit of the vehicle again.

Fortunately, the bus drove slowly in the waiting area. When it reached the exit, the driver stopped and handed some card to the guard box outside. Xu Rui caught up with the bus. He knocked on the door of the bus, but the driver and the guard box The people inside were negotiating something, but they didn't hear it.

"Master, there is a knock on the door outside."
