The departure was late, and Xiaolan and others hurried to the car in the last few minutes before departure.
The bus was not too crowded, and the air inside was not as stuffy as expected. Because it was an early morning car, the small curtains in the car were closed tightly. The morning light penetrated into the car through the orange-red small curtains, and the world in the car was a warm red.
Xiaolan sat next to the Taoist priest, across the aisle from Sister Pineapple.
The car set off quickly, and several people staggeredly put their luggage away. There were very few passengers on the bus, with only a few tired figures in the front row. Most of the people taking this bus were people who stayed up late to catch the bus. The seats for a few people are in the back, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing other passengers’ rest.
"Xiaolan, you are from Fengwu, so tell us what kind of place Fengwu is?"
The person who spoke was another round girl, I don’t know her name yet. The girl was sitting directly behind Sister Pineapple. Her face and eyes were round. She put her head over and asked softly.
"I... I actually moved to Yangjiang when I was very young, and I don't know much about Fengwu." Xiaolan tried hard to recall Fengwu from Aunt Lin, "I just remember that Fengwu is very beautiful, with many mountains and mountains. Trees, but…but poor.”
"Poverty?" The girl opened her eyes wide, "Isn't Feng Wu..."
"Fengwu was really poor in the early years," the Taoist priest also turned to look at the girl. "In recent years, Fengwu's tourism industry has developed rapidly, driving the local GDP, and Fengwu has slowly developed."
The conversation seems to be heading in a strange direction.
Xiaolan turned her face to look at the Taoist Priest. The Taoist Priest was still smiling. There were a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes that symbolized the years, but Xiaolan only felt that such fine lines made the Taoist Priest look more reliable. Taoist priest felt something, lowered his head to look at Xiaolan, and touched Xiaolan's head with his left hand.
"Let me introduce these brothers and sisters to you."
"Xiaolan can just call me Sister Qin," the round-eyed girl spoke first, stretching out her arms to pat Xiaolan on the shoulder, "My ID is my real name, Qin Yin. We are the only two willing to say our real names, huh... "
The sky outside the car window became brighter and brighter, and the sunlight shone through the small curtains onto the Taoist priest's face, seeming to give his cheeks a blush.
"Didn't Sister Qin call you Lao?" The Taoist priest changed the topic and lowered his head to face Xiaolan, "We all call her Xiaoyin, you can follow us and call her Xiaoyin."
"Call Sister Xiaoyin!"
Xiaoyin raised her voice a little, and immediately covered her mouth and retreated guiltily, for fear of disturbing the rest of the passengers in the front seat.
Xiaolan smiled and nodded, feeling that Xiaoyin was really a lovely sister.
"The brother sitting behind you, whose ID is Gakki's husband, we all call him little fool, you can too..."
"Hello!"
The little fool hurriedly interrupted the Taoist priest. This was the young boy who had just spoken to him. Because he had expressed doubts about Xiaolan's joining, Xiaolan held a grudge for a second. Unexpectedly, there was a fool hidden under his serious appearance. Xixi heart.
Several people laughed. Reflecting the morning sun outside the window, Xiaolan felt that this moment was extremely warm.
"I'm Baomu, just call me Baomu together with them."
The boy next to the little fool stood up. The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked over at Xiaolan, looking a little shy.
After Baomu finished speaking, he quickly sat back, his face flushed.
"Baomu is a few years older than you, and he is also an introverted child."
Sister Pineapple's gentle voice sounded, but what Xiaolan was thinking was, I am not an introverted child.
There was the last person left. Xiaolan looked around and saw a boy in black clothes sitting in Sister Pineapple's seat. The boy hadn't moved much since he got on the bus. He lowered his head and seemed to be asleep. look like.
"He's a maple syrup can, you call him Brother Maple Sugar," Sister Pineapple smiled, turned around and bumped the boy's stomach with her elbow, "He's a sleepy guy and doesn't talk much, so just pretend he doesn't exist."
Um? Another can?
Xiaoyin came over again, mysteriously.
"Maple Sugar is Pineapple's boyfriend. We have been together for a long time."
Ah, I have a boyfriend. Xiaolan thought quietly, it sounded quite delicious.
——————————————————————
The topic ended and the car became quiet again.
I don’t know how much time passed, but all the passengers fell into a drowsy state. Sister Pineapple fell asleep leaning on Maple Sugar’s shoulder, and the even breathing sounds of the three people could be heard from the back row.
Not knowing what time it was, Xiaolan wanted to open a corner of the curtain to see what the weather was like outside the window, so she tried her best to stretch her arms without disturbing the Taoist priest.
Ah, I can't touch it. This arm is shorter than I thought.
There was a gentle laughter from the side.
The Taoist stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain, and the noon sunlight penetrated through the car window through the curtain and fell on the two of them.
"Don't you want to sleep for a while?"
Xiaolan shook her head, feeling that what she had just done was embarrassing.
"Uh... Brother Taoist Brother, please put it down. I just want to see what time it is outside."
The sunlight disappeared, and the car became dark and lazy again.
The Taoist priest smiled and looked down at Xiaolan, who was a little embarrassed.
"You must be hungry."
Touching her belly, Xiaolan remembered that her last meal was the dinner the day before. Until now, she had not had any water, but Xiaolan felt that it was okay.
"Not very hungry."
The Taoist priest nodded, turned his head and closed his eyes to rest.
"Brother Taoist Master..." Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can you tell me what the boundary monument is... and where did the... uh... design inspiration for this badge come from? "
The badge was not hung on the Taoist priest's body. The Taoist priest's eyelashes fluttered and he opened his eyes again. His eyes were a little different. The Taoist priest had lost his smile, and his eyes were like two dark pools.
"Just call me Taoist Master, Xiaolan."
She always felt something special when he called her name.
Xiaolan thought to herself that this Taoist priest has a secret. He is so different from others.
"It's not convenient to talk about the boundary monument here. Get off the car. We will talk to you in detail after getting off the car." The Taoist priest's warm smile appeared again, "Go to sleep first, Xiaolan. We will start getting busy after we get off the car. "
After being persuaded by the Taoist priest, Xiaolan seemed to be really sleepy.
My vision was swaying, the car, the windows, the curtains, the whole world was shaking.
My head is also shaking, but this feeling is not the feeling of riding in a car.
Xiaolan felt like she was running.
Run, stumble, get up, run again.
My head hurts so much, my feet hurt so much, and my body hurts so much.
I’m so tired from running, but I can’t stop, I can’t stop.
Xiaolan opened her eyes.
A patch of green.
