Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

He replied to Xu Rui, "Taxis are not willing to drive in that crappy place in Heshan Town. They all stop in a town in the middle, and then they still have to take the bus back. The bus is full and doesn't carry passengers. Would you like to walk back with me?" ?”

"Then what should we do? If we go back now, we may arrive at midnight and catch up with tomorrow's morning class." Xu Rui said half-jokingly.

"Let's wait for them to finish first." Lin Pai nodded at the overcrowded waiting hall with his chin.

"It must be eight or nine in the evening, and the service will be out of service by then." Fu Yanye looked away from the phone screen, shook his head at the two of them and said, "I just asked my dad if he could drive to pick us up ..."

Xu Rui was out of shape, and then he said, "And then? Does the old man come by himself, or send a driver?"

Fu Yanye raised his hand and turned Xu Rui's head 180° to face Lin Pai, "My dad said that there is an old man in our place who sells vegetables in the market during the day and returns empty at night, let us take his ride go back."

"Alright..." Xu Rui finished his last bite, collected the trash together, and asked, "When will he go back?"

"Now, we are almost at the gate of the passenger transportation center. Have you finished eating? Let's go out and wait."

"I'll throw out the trash." Lin Pai greeted Fu Yanye, took the empty box Xu Rui put at his feet, and walked to the trash can next to him.

When they walked out of the passenger transport center, Old Man Cai said he had arrived. Fu Yanye looked for the location sent by holding up his mobile phone, but he couldn't find where his car was parked after walking around for half a circle.

"Is that the one?" Lin Pai pointed in one direction hesitantly.

Fu Yanye and Xu Rui looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a small truck with white paint and rust moving slowly. There were only two narrow seats at the front, and a large flat panel with a roof behind it. , now that the weather is good, the roof has been put away, only the iron guardrails that are not too high are erected on both sides, like a cuboid packing box without a cover.

The pickup truck stopped not far from them. Uncle Cai pushed the door open and jumped out. He was hale and hearty, with wrinkles all over his face, and stretched out his hand to Fu Yanye as he walked, "You are Xiao Fu, right? I remember that you were only this young a few years ago, and you jumped so high all of a sudden!"

"Hello, Uncle Cai..." Old Uncle Cai is still very strong despite his age. Fu Yanye rubbed the arm he had patted, and greeted him with a smile. He said vaguely, "Actually, I have Jumping so high."

Taking advantage of the gap between their greetings, Xu Rui sneaked to the pickup truck and inspected it silently. He gestured with the palm of his hand, and the height of the deck was about to his waistline.

When he walked to the rear of the car, he leaned forward and twirled a vegetable leaf from the car board. It is still green and fresh, and it looks very fresh.

"Okay, get in the car!"

Uncle Cai yelled cheerfully, and Xu Rui immediately let go of the vegetable leaf, letting it fall back onto the tablet.

After taking two steps, Old Man Cai suddenly turned around and said, "But there is only one seat left in the front of this car, and your two classmates will have to work hard to sit in the back."

"They didn't work hard!" Fu Yanye jumped into the passenger seat in three steps at a time when he heard the words.

Old Uncle Cai looked at Fu Yanye's bouncing back, heyed twice, and with a loving smile on his face, he turned around and put the pedals on for Xu Rui and the others.

"Uncle Cai, don't be so troublesome." Xu Rui stopped the old man Cai, jumped up with his hands on the platform, and the whole person went up easily. He stretched out his hand towards Lin Pai and said, "Give me your hand, I will pull you up."

Lin Pai didn't reach Xu Rui's hand, he took a few steps to the side to avoid bumping into Xu Rui, put his hands up, and went up in a blink of an eye.

"It's good to be tall, long hands and long feet!" Uncle Cai nodded appreciatively, fixed the rear guardrail for them, and returned to the driver's seat.

16. Chapter 16

Uncle Cai stepped on the accelerator, and the pickup truck paused twice before starting.

At this time, a bus full of people also departed. The two cars walked side by side on the avenue for a while, and then the bus was overtaken. The pickup truck passed the intersection with the tail of the green light, completely ahead of the bus. .

Xu Rui and Lin Pai were leaning against one side of the iron guardrail, each with a piece of draft paper on the flat board, sitting with their knees bent, and when the pickup bumped, they also bumped;

The pickup truck braked, and they fell forward.

Xu Rui couldn't sit comfortably, so he changed his posture and put his legs straight. He saw that there was still a distance between the shoes and Lin Pai, and asked Lin Pai, "If you also straighten your legs, can you touch me?" the soles of your shoes?"

"I'm not a high-level amputee." Lin Pai lowered his leg slightly as he spoke, and touched Xu Rui's sole with ease.

Xu Rui put his legs back on purpose, Lin Pai stared at the soles of his shoes and lowered his legs a little, he put them back a little more, Lin Pai was able to reach them a little more, at the end Lin Pai straightened his legs, Xu Rui simply hugged him Sit with your knees tight.

"You're so boring." Lin Pai looked away in disgust, and at the same time retracted his legs, and changed to sitting cross-legged.

Fu Yanye was sitting on the co-pilot, and he looked much more comfortable in comparison. He stretched out an arm from the car window to blow the wind, then poked out half of his head, stretched his neck to look behind, and shouted, " Two students from Class [-]! How's the scenery behind you?"

"Very good!" Xu Rui shouted back at him.

"Friends in the back! Tell me how beautiful the scenery is!" Fu Yanye provocatively endlessly.

Xu Rui picked up a vegetable leaf on the tablet and gestured at Lin Pai in the air a few times. Lin Pai understood what he meant, nodded understandingly, and helped him pick up the vegetable leaf.

"Xu Rui? Why is there no sound, you won't fall..."

Before Fu Yanye finished speaking, a vegetable leaf hit his forehead accurately. He blinked subconsciously, and reached out to touch the place where he was hit. As a result, more vegetable leaves fell towards him, and the vegetable leaves hit him He fell on the road immediately, and Fu Yanye didn't have any tools, so he got into the car in despair.

From Fu Yanye's point of view, Xu Rui was the only perpetrator of the vegetable leaf smashing incident, but what he didn't know was that Lin Pai was providing Xu Rui with sufficient tools for committing crimes where he couldn't see it.

Xu Rui stood on the platform, holding on to the iron railing with one hand, holding up a vegetable leaf majesticly, which symbolized victory, and deliberately let Fu Yanye see it from the rearview mirror of the car. Also shook up.

Lin Pai was still holding unused vegetable leaves in his hand. He was leaning against the back wall of the carriage, blowing the wind. He did not participate in Xu Rui's demonstration, and stared blankly at the retreating scenery on both sides.

Without warning, Xu Rui suddenly threw a vegetable leaf at Lin Pai.

The arm was smashed lightly, Lin Pai raised his elbow to look at it, and then looked at Xu Rui inexplicably.

Xu Rui grinned, gave him a naughty smile, and then threw a piece on him.

Lin Pai didn't fight back. He opened his palms to block as much as possible, and walked slowly towards Xu Rui. Every time he took a step, Xu Rui took a step back, and the two circled around on the square tablet.

Xu Rui stepped back, and suddenly found that his palms were empty. Lin Pai saw through his fingers that Xu Rui had no "weapon".

Xu Rui knew that he had been duped, so he had to change into Lin Pai's posture just now, ducking down to hide from him.

Lin Pai approached Xu Rui while throwing it, and finally threw the whole fist at Xu Rui.

"Be careful, you two! Don't fall into the next field!"

Old Uncle Cai took a shortcut, which was a small road through the fields. He saw Xu Rui and Lin Pai fighting through his rearview mirror, and raised the volume to remind him.

"Okay, Uncle Cai, we will be careful." Lin Pai smiled, and even his tone of voice was more flat than usual.

"Have you heard, it's very dangerous!" Xu Rui raised his hand to stop him while avoiding him, "Don't lose it!"

Lin Pai stretched out both hands to Xu Rui, opened his palms and said, "It's over."

Seeing that his palms were really empty, Xu Rui immediately straightened his back and raised his hands to hook Lin Pai's neck.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lin Pai dodged him sideways, but Xu Rui didn't give up. Lin Pai turned his head and slapped his arm away, walked back quickly to the back wall of the carriage where he was standing at the beginning, and sat down with his knees bent.

Seeing that Lin Pai was walking so resolutely, Xu Rui withdrew his hands in a dull manner. Lin Pai was looking down to see if there were any vegetable leaves hanging on his clothes. Xu Rui also followed his example and sat beside him, shaking the clothes off vegetable leaves.

He lowered his head to check carefully, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by his ears, the wind carried a scorching temperature, scratching his earlobe very itchy, Xu Rui just wanted to turn his head to see what was going on, when he caught a glimpse of Lin Pai's Adam's apple from the corner of his eye, and then I can feel my scalp tightening.

"Hiss, why are you pulling my hair?" Xu Rui gasped, lowering his head and not daring to move.

Lin Pai twirled a broken vegetable leaf in disgust, held it up to Xu Rui, and said wonderingly, "It's strange, your hair is so short, how did it get stuck in it?"

Xu Rui was still in the original posture. He glanced up along the rotten vegetable leaves and saw a thin layer of calluses on Lin Pai's thumb, and then went up, his eyes swept over his thin lips, and they met He looked down into his eyes.

This is the first time Xu Rui looked at Lin Pai's face so closely after he was in the health center in Heshan Town. He stared at Lin Pai's face for a while, and said softly and vaguely, "Why do your eyelashes grow so long?" It's long... and a bit warped..."

Lin Pai froze and didn't move, only a few seconds later, Xu Rui suddenly buried
