Before dawn, two people pushed a cart and went to the town to buy water.
After going downhill, Zhu Daqiu looked around. The sky was gray and the moon was still in the sky.
In the long and narrow ditch road, the thick shade of elm trees oppressed him. Apart from the squeaking sound of the wheelbarrow, there was no sound of insects around.
After walking for a while, it was still the same. I felt unprecedented panic, as if I was being covered and monitored.
I have a premonition that a huge crisis is lurking somewhere, and it's getting closer. Zhu Daqiu ran away, but because he ran too hard, he fell.
Qiyu threw down the wheelbarrow and called him while chasing him.
Zhu Daqiu knew he couldn't escape, so he turned over and lay down in the middle of the ditch. Looking at the dim sky, I turned a deaf ear to Qi Yu's call.
Facing Zhu Daqiu who was lying on his back, Qi Yu originally wanted to scold him, but instead said softly:
"If you don't want to go, just tell me. People are most afraid of being motionless and thinking wildly."
Zhu Daqiu didn't respond, Qi Yu said again: "No matter what, it's better to live."
Looking at the sky quietly, it was getting brighter little by little, and the elm leaves were swaying slightly, and Zhu Daqiu felt relieved. He stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said:
"I have to get out of here!"
"What happened? Why did you do this to me? You just said some unclear words!"
"What I said couldn't be more clear. I have to leave!"
Qiyu stamped his feet and said, "You're still not well yet. Won't it be more dangerous to run around?"
After walking a few steps away, Zhu Daqiu said: "Don't follow me. I have lost my ability now. Anyone who provokes can kill me."
"Don't be discouraged. You will get better one day. I only know that those big men don't even pay attention to ordinary people. But if they want to look for you, no matter where you are, they will find you soon."
Zhu Daqiu slapped his forehead and said to himself: What she said is right, her words are rough but not rough! If they really come to kill me, how can I escape now? If I keep doing this, I'm afraid they won't even look at me!
Suddenly enlightened, I wish Daqiu will clear away the haze that weighed on his heart. He turned around and hugged Qiyu in celebration, only to turn half a circle before he fell down. Qiyu yelled "Ouch" and pressed on him.
"You are a sensible person, I will only bother you!"
Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard his praise, and just wanted to be like this forever.
Zhu Daqiu thought she could wake up consciously, but she didn't move for a long time.
"Why don't you get up? I don't know if it is a stone or a clod of earth placed on my back. It hurts my diaphragm."
Qiyu nestled on his chest, not wanting to get up, and spat softly: "You are holding me, how can I move?"
Zhu Daqiu let go of his hand and said, "How do I know you are so heavy?"
"Humph, you were so capable before!"
Zhu Daqiu lay on the ground, with his limbs flat, and said sadly: "You are right, I don't even have the strength of an ordinary person now."
"You always torment me. Just one sentence that hits your mark, and you show me a dead look. It makes me feel distressed and helpless. Is this how big a man's heart is? If you don't have the strength, you can exercise slowly. My strength has also been cultivated since I was a child, it is not natural."
Zhu Daqiu could hear the caring flavor in her words, and his heart moved. Looking back on every moment I had with her, she was actually pretty good.
Zhu Daqiu got up with a groan, deliberately showing off his weakness.
Qiyu was indeed fooled, squatted down and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."
He touched her head and said, "I know what kind of person you are and still care about you. That's really my fault."
Yang Yang moved forward and figured out: What he was afraid of was more provocation from similar people. It is human nature to worry about life and death. I am no longer that type of person and will not attract their attention at all.
May Daqiu push the wheelbarrow on the road.
Qiyu suddenly ran to the roadside and squatted down, saying: "There is a pair of green grass here, come and take a look!"
Zhu Daqiu put down the car and took a look. There was nothing strange about it, and he said: "It's just grass with two branches from the same root."
Qiyu gently stroked the grass and said: "Look at it! It has fine hairs on its body, and it is fluffy. It also has fresh leaves, which are protected by two green leaves."
Zhu Daqiu was a little surprised by Qi Yu's unusual behavior. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times and said, "This grass is very ordinary."
Qiyu trembled all over and said: "How good they are, they can never be separated."
These words touched the heartstrings, and the implication behind the words, why couldn't Zhu Daqiu hear it?
Qiyu wiped his eyes with Zhu Daqiu on his back and said: "I don't know why, I'm so scared. I'm afraid that you will suddenly disappear, and I'm afraid that you will suddenly - suddenly die. Although this grass is ordinary, it has tenacious vitality."
With his heart trembling, Zhu Daqiu no longer hesitated and helped Qi Yu up.
There was a long and slender scar at the corner of her eyebrow. She touched it with her finger and said, "Aren't I alive and well?"
Qiyu leaned on Zhu Daqiu's chest, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and said:
"That scar was scratched by a branch from a fight when I was a child. Isn't it ugly?"
"Who said you are ugly? This scar is your most outstanding feature, like a colorful cloud in the sky."
Zhu Daqiu didn't want to push her away, nor did he dare to accept her easily.
"At the critical moment, as soon as you appeared, I knew that my destined person was here! You bravely braved the desert for Mei Zhi, and I will compensate you for this love."
Qiyu smiled softly, full of affection, and couldn't wait any longer.
"What about your suitors?"
"Can't you say less embarrassing things? You don't have to worry about this. You will know when the time comes."
"These competitors all have their own skills. How can we defeat them?"
I wish Daqiu is worried. Qi Yu was happy, hearing his thoughts for her.
Seeing his dull look and not doing anything inappropriate, I felt slightly disappointed and said:
"Leave it to me next, just follow."
They came to Gugou Town. Halfway up the slope of the canyon, a naturally formed road, coupled with artificial construction, becomes a town street.
They first went to Shuikou to buy water. Freshwater is in a natural deep cave at the mouth of the valley cliff. In order to facilitate the sale of water, a direct water outlet was built above and a tent was built to sell water.
The water seller is Dana, naked to the waist, muscular, and sweating.
Qi Yu came late. When it was her turn to push the wheelbarrow over, Da Da took a pair of eyes and never left Zhu Da Qiu.
"This poor man finally came to town! As soon as he came, I saw him!"
Qi Yu winked at him quickly and said, "Don't look for trouble. Hurry up and get some water!"
"As long as there is a man around you, I can control it!"
Dana put down the bucket and tilted the rope to the side.
"He is my man. Get water quickly, otherwise, I will go down to find your father."
"I don't believe it! You would find a weakling?"
Dana clenched his fists and bulged his muscular chest muscles.
"Dana, didn't the reminder tell you clearly? Hurry up and get water, or we'll find your dad."
Qiyu lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"I don't care, I just won't fetch water! Even if my dad comes, he won't care!"
Dana shouted.
"Brother, why are you so prejudiced against me?"
I hope Daqiu takes the initiative to step forward.
Qi Yu immediately blocked him and said anxiously: "My young master, just stand there and say nothing - Ouch, what are you going to do, Dada? It's true this time, don't be violent!"
Seeing Dana rushing out with his fist raised, Zhu Daqiu didn't dodge but approached him, and pressed his thumb on his biceps.
Although Dana's arms felt weak, he still knocked him to the ground.
Dana laughed and raised his fist to hit again. Qi Yu grabbed him and said, "Why do you really hit someone? Didn't you say it? It's true this time!"
A butcher came from behind. Witnessing this scene, he pulled up Zhu Daqiu and said, "It's a good technique, but it's a pity that it's too weak."
His eyes were narrowed, deep and distant. Zhu Daqiu was so shocked that he even forgot to say thank you.
A short knife slipped out of the butcher's sleeve, twirled it in his palm, and said, "Dana, why don't you go fetch some water?"
Dana was frightened, ran back, and immediately filled the bottle with water. Qiyu paid and pushed the car.
The butcher immediately pushed the cart to fill the seats, Qi Yu said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu - why are you standing there in a daze, why don't you come over and help me?"
The butcher nodded, his Chinese-character face covered with short black beard.
Qiyu didn't dare to look at these prickly beards, so he pulled the confused Zhu Daqiu over and said:
"Are you injured? Did the beating hurt you?"
The man over there nodded and bowed to send the butcher away, raised his fist to Zhu Daqiu, and said: "What kind of man are you relying on a woman?"
Qi Yu sternly said: "Get out of here!"
Dana made a face and said, "Just get out, we'll see!"
Went down from Xiashuishikou.
"What's wrong with you? Don't be like him."
Zhu Daqiu was thinking about what the butcher said: good technique, but unfortunately too weak.
Those who can understand it are at least experts. And his eyes are different from ordinary people. There was indeed someone in the dark that early morning, could it be him?
Qiyu cried and said, "You're really worrying me to death. Please say something!"
Zhu Daqiu came to his senses and said, "Didn't you say I was your man? Let me do this rough work!"
Qiyu felt sweet in his heart and said, "Don't tire yourself."
Zhu Daqiu pushed the car, and his waist was bent. But his strong self-esteem required him to keep walking for a few steps!
But after taking a few steps, the car shook and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Qi Yu rushed over and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop! I'll do it."
Zhu Daqiu supported the car and said with a hint of sadness: "I'm afraid I'm not as strong as one of your hands."
"So I can only eat this kind of food."
Zhu Daqiu suddenly felt that she was great. I think of my sister and Mei Zhi who took care of me when I was a child. They have something in common: they can play with life without relying on others.
