The blue sky was illuminated red by the setting sun. Gradually the light dimmed, and then a few lights lit up again.
"Wangjiawan has arrived."
After Li Zhengyi got out of the car, the sky had become a little dark.
The temperature difference between day and night is relatively large at this time, and people have already gone home to warm up with their wives and children.
There were not many pedestrians on the roadside, not to mention that Li Zhengyi got off the car on the outskirts of the town, and there were even fewer people.
He walked towards the small woods next to him, and after descending a slope, he took off the hoodie he had just bought, wrapped it in stones and threw it into a small ditch.
As long as the spring rains come and the river rises after a while, the surging sediment will help him completely eliminate the clothes that may be clues.
Then he returned to the road and walked forward for a while, stopping a passing agricultural tricycle. After discussion, the uncle agreed to take him to the county seat for two yuan.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the yellow halogen headlights illuminated a section of the asphalt highway brightly.
"Da da da da~"
The sound of the diesel engine was a bit noisy, and the tricycle had no windshield or hood. The cold wind was blowing, and even Li Zhengyi couldn't feel his tight clothes tightening.
Look at the old man in front of him. He is already a man with white hair and his face is full of ridges. But he is still facing the cold wind and talking loudly to Li Zhengyi with great energy.
Due to the strong wind and the noisy sound of the engine, Li Zhengyi couldn't hear clearly what the uncle said, so he could only make a rough guess.
He didn't say much, just listened and watched.
At the same time, I also lament that the years of hard work will really make a person stronger.
Although it didn't take long in total, only about twenty minutes, by the time we arrived at the county seat, the sky was completely dark.
Li Zhengyi did not go home, but went in another direction. He still had unfinished tasks. In order to avoid being targeted in the future, I had to walk overnight.
There was a sudden knock on the door on the third floor of a residence in the Xinlou District, and it was opened from the inside not long after.
The person who opened the door said in a tone of relief: "Little guy, why are you back? The teacher thought you weren't coming, and was just about to call your home."
"Come on, come in and sit for a while and drink some water."
Li Zhengyi, who had been in a hurry, readily agreed.
At this time, the heating was on full blast, and the temperature in the room was in stark contrast to the temperature outside.
Because it was a little hot, Wu Qiong only wore a pair of silk pajamas. After a while, Li Zhengyi was so hot that he could only take off his coat and hang it aside.
Although I live alone, the house is still neat and tidy. The dim light is as warm as a candle, and it also has a very comfortable fragrance.
"Come, eat the strawberries, the teacher just washed them."
Fruits at this time of year are relatively rare. Because class teacher Wu Qiong was too enthusiastic, Li Zhengyi could only reluctantly accept them.
Picking one up and putting it in his mouth, his eyes lit up. It tastes very good and very fresh.
"Your mental power has reached eight? Is it true? That's great!"
"Little guy, you are so awesome. Come on, have another one."
During the chat, Li Zhengyi told Wu Qiong, the head teacher, that the result of his mental test was eight, which made her extremely happy for a while.
But almost as soon as he spoke, the expression on his face became lost and resentful again.
"But in this case, after you join the experimental class, won't it be difficult for the teacher to see you again?"
It was only later that Li Zhengyi promised to visit her often in the future that Wu Qiong became happy again.
Because he was too nervous before, after suddenly relaxing, Li Zhengyi accidentally fell asleep in the living room of class teacher Wu Qiong's house.
By the time he came out, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
"Little guy, walk slowly. See you tomorrow."
"call…"
There are not many people on the street at night, and the night market is not that lively at this time of year.
Walking alone on the road at night seems unusually spacious and feels very peaceful.
Li Zhengyi couldn't help but let out a long breath, and felt unusually relaxed after sleeping.
only……
"That kid, stop..."
"It's you, Xiao Li, why is it your kid again!"
"Uncle Liu? I also want to say why you always hold on to me..."
The person who stopped Li Zhengyi was the middle-aged policeman he met last time. He took a closer look and found that the person driving next to him was also an acquaintance.
"Brother Wang, you are here too. Thank you for your hard work."
"Well, why are you always wandering around at night? People who don't know may think you have done something."
The police car stopped directly next to him. After Uncle Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window, he couldn't help but educate Li Zhengyi.
"Hey, don't you know what kind of person I am? Isn't this just now..."
"I just came out of a friend's house and went to the city to test my mental strength today. The result was good, so we sat down to celebrate together."
"How much is it? Come up and tell me."
When he heard what he said about testing his mental power, Uncle Liu looked very interested and asked him to get in the car and talk.
As the saying goes, once is born, twice is familiar. Li Zhengyi no longer resists this matter, not to mention that Uncle Liu is also an acquaintance.
The car started and drove slowly on the quiet road in the dark night.
"What? You're bragging, aren't you? Your mental power is eight?"
After confirming, Uncle Liu said with some pity: "How come your kid is eight? My daughter only measured five."
Li Zhengyi's eyes suddenly lit up next to him, thinking that the opportunity to get closer has come, isn't it?
So he quickly asked: "Uncle Liu, is your daughter also from the county? What is her name? Maybe we will be assigned to the same experimental class in two days, and I will definitely take care of her then."
Uncle Liu, who was originally very funny and talkative, suddenly looked at Li Zhengyi warily after hearing what he said: "What are you asking about? I tell you, don't have any evil intentions."
"Xiao Wang, drive quickly."
Li Zhengyi felt speechless as he watched the police car's taillights go away quickly at the gate of the community.
How could he have any evil thoughts? Uncle Liu really didn't understand the good people's heart. She was obviously just trying to help him take care of his daughter, but he was still angry.
Too stingy.
When I got home, I found that the lights were still on. After Li Zhengyi came in, his parents were sitting in the living room waiting for him.
Perhaps because he came home late again, the expression on his mother Tie Yulian's face was not as gentle as the previous few days, which was always full of smiles.
But probably because he knew that his mental power test might not end so quickly, and because his father Li Jianjun should be around, he didn't directly reprimand him.
…
"What? Brother, your spiritual power is actually eight? It can't be fake, right?"
After her sister Li Xiaoli heard the conversation, she couldn't help but come out of the bedroom. Her questioning also caused the smiles on her parents' faces to suddenly stop.
He looked at Li Zhengyi with some suspicion, thinking that this boy was not telling nonsense just to make them happy, right?
