happy event under the tree

Gu Xi moved a stool to guard the gate, and called Gu Zheng.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why did you call me, and the first business was completed?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if you are free today, and I asked you to come to my place for dinner," Gu Xi hurriedly added, "I think my cooking is quite delicious..."

"Haha, I want to try it too, but—" Gu Zhengdao, "I may not be able to come. I was sent out by the station today to attend a meeting in the county."

"Ah, so..."

Gu Zheng heard the deep disappointment in his voice, and comforted him carefully: "I'll be back in two days, can I change the date?"

"Uh, but..."

"Have you bought all the food?"

"No..." Staying a meal is fake, staying overnight is real, Gu Xi scratched his head anxiously.

"Do you want tonight? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Gu Xi had no choice but to tell the truth: "I seem to have been robbed here..."

"What?!" Gu Zheng said incredulously, "Really, are you okay? What did you lose? Did you catch it?"

"Brother Xiaozheng, don't worry, I just lost some food, but I feel that there seems to be some movement at night. I wanted you to accompany me..."

Without even thinking about it, Gu Zheng said directly, "Go and live with me."

"But, this is not a long-term solution, I just want to be bold."

Gu Zheng was silent for a while, and said: "I really can't leave, how about this? I have a friend who is tall and reliable. I'll let him come and have a look."

Good luck!Gu Xi couldn't stop nodding: "Yes, yes."

"Okay, you should have heard it too, I'll tell him."

The friend introduced by Gu Zheng is named Xu Xunliang, who used to be a high school classmate of the same class as Gu Zheng.It is said that after graduation, he started his own business, and now the restaurant is booming.

When the two of them graduated from high school, Gu Xi had just entered the campus as a freshman in high school. Although he couldn't witness the demeanor of the two with his own eyes, there were legends about them everywhere in the campus.Gu Zheng didn't like to laugh at that time, and had a cold and delicate face; Xu Xunliang was tall and tough, and when he was serious, his hairs stood on end.Coupled with a few other good friends, it is simply the kind of shining small group that is popular in campus TV dramas.

Thinking about it is inexplicable.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, this former campus celebrity walked into Gu Xi's agricultural technology shop.It was a little darker than the vague impression, with a little flesh, and it was closer to the appearance of a complete social person.

The visitor put a stack of takeaway lunch boxes in his hand on the table, and asked with a smile, "Are you Gu Zheng's younger brother?"

"Yes, my name is Gu Xi."

"My name is Xu Xunliang. I don't know if your brother has told me. He always calls me Datou. You can call me that too."

Gu Xi still stood upright and called out: "Brother Xu."

"You're so good, much better than your brother." Xu Xunliang said again, "Wait for me."

I saw him stepping out the door, and when he came in again, he carried a bag of fruit in his left hand and a folding chair in his right.

"Okay, let's eat and drink now, just wait for it to get dark."

Gu Xi hastily moved a stool for him and soaked it in water, touched his fluffy prickly hair, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Xu, why did you buy so many things..."

"It's okay." Xu Xunliang opened a fast food box, which contained marinated duck collarbone. "It's all from our own store. Your brother likes it very much. You should try it too."

"Brother Xu, will it delay your business in the restaurant?"

"There are people in charge in the restaurant. I usually stay in my wholesale store. It's not far from your place. It's only three steps away if I have something to do."

The two ate and chatted, and gradually became familiar with each other.The wind at night was getting colder and colder on the body, and soon the sky also darkened.

After washing up, Gu Xiqiang calmly put the remaining fruit and the radish and corn that he hadn't touched since yesterday in the small kitchen.

Xu Xunliang unfolded the deck chair, planning to spend the night there.

Gu Xi closed the door and window, and said cautiously: "Brother Xu, what should we do if we hear voices later?"

"Then arrest him and call the police." Xu Xunliang motioned him to look over, and there were two wooden sticks and a hemp rope that he brought standing up against the wall, "Isn't it better to fight an unprepared battle than your unfettered hands?" How much more reliable is Ji Zhili's brother?"

Gu Xi's little heart calmed down a lot, and silently agreed with him.

Around midnight, Gu Xi heard a rustling sound when he seemed to be asleep.He woke up suddenly, and immediately pushed Xu Xunliang beside him.

Xu Xunliang didn't fall asleep either, he opened his eyes and listened carefully for a while, and confirmed his eyes with Gu Xi by the bright moonlight through the window lattice.

Gu Xi nodded.

The two climbed up gently, took the wooden sticks, and gropingly opened the door latch with their bare feet.

Under the moonlight, a group of small black shadows were vaguely dragging a red plastic bag—the sound came from here, and they were cats doing something in Gu Xi's small kitchen at the moment.

Gu Xi's palms were sweating, he squeezed the stick tightly, and followed Xu Xunliang quietly towards the black shadow.

Seeing that the distance was less than five steps away, Xu Xunliang raised the wooden stick in his hand, and was about to hit the thief's leg first.

Gu Xi swallowed her saliva, but she could vaguely hear a childish voice from the black shadow: "Chiliuchiliu, these grapes are so delicious."

"Brother Xu, don't move!" He yelled this sentence before his brain reacted, and then he heard the sound of pots, pans and pans falling to the ground, which made the little thief run wild in a panic.

Gu Xi immediately turned on the electric light, and the food thief who had nowhere to hide under the bright light was actually a little brat shivering in a corner!

"Ouch, it's really..." Xu Xunliang took precautions, slipped the child out with one hand, and carried him into the shop.

The child was no more than three or four years old, sitting on a stool in the store, with both feet dangling in the air, and two small hands in front of him, pulling at the skirt of his clothes.

"Tell me, which family's child are you from, why did you come here to steal things?"

The child raised his eyes and glanced timidly at Xu Xunliang, as if frightened by his appearance.

Gu Xi coughed, thinking what a child of this age knows, so she softened her voice and coaxed: "Please tell us obediently, okay, and let you go when you're done."

The child looked at Gu Xi's face again, moved his lips and said, "I'm hungry."

"what?"

"Hungry. I didn't steal money, I want to get something to eat..."

Gu Xi thought to himself that this was probably a poor doll, and felt pity immediately.Xu Xunliang took the conversation and asked him: "Then how did you get in?"

The child glanced into the yard: "Climbed the wall to come in."

"Climbing the wall is too dangerous," Gu Xi couldn't help but said, "You can tell us next time you're hungry, what if you fall down?"

"Oh."

After preaching for a few minutes, the child listened obediently, and Gu Xi had no intention of calling the police.Xu Xunliang sighed, and finally said: "Children must learn well, whether it is money or not, petty theft is wrong."

"Oh, I see, can I go? My grandpa is still waiting for me..."

"Okay," Gu Xi put some food in the child's plastic bag and stuffed it back to him, "Don't make your grandpa anxious, you take these food."

The child jumped off the stool, waved at Gu Xi, turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait a minute," Xu Xunliang called him again, "Do you want me to send..."

Unexpectedly, the child turned around and said viciously: "There is no end!"

The two were taken aback, Xu Xunliang said: "Hey, why did you become so rude, did you just pretend?"

The child frowned, with a rather impatient expression on his face, completely gone from the innocent and harmless appearance just now.He clicked his tongue and said to himself, "It's too late."

As soon as the words fell, a small cloud of green smoke dissipated, and the figure of the child was nowhere to be seen.

Looking down, there was only a white-haired rabbit with red eyes on the ground.

Gu Xi didn't have time to scream in the future, only to hear a "boom", Xu Xunliang closed his eyes, and passed out first.
