"Master, my leg hurts."
"go away."
Lin Zhaoxi stopped abruptly, but Lu Zhihao didn't stop the car and slammed into her back. She staggered, turned to Comrade Xiao Lu and said, "My master told you to go."
Comrade Xiao Lu's face turned red with aggrievedness, while Lao Lin looked back at her, the meaning in his eyes probably was that you are so shameless.
Of course, it's all inherited from you.
Lao Lin was really cruel to her. No matter how coquettish and cute she was just now, Lao Lin just ignored her, and she simply ignored her injuries, and ran after Lao Lin. The scratches on children's bodies, that is, after running for two laps, they will automatically dry up.
For most of the next day, she kept the rhythm of where Lao Lin went and where she went. She patrolled the field with him, was lazy, held up a big parasol, watched the two grandpas in the pavilion play chess, and listened to the grandpa play the erhu for a while.
Although her dream of being a rich second generation to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan was shattered before it was fully formed, but being able to return to Lao Lin's side was better than anything else.
It's just that Lin Zhaoxi doesn't know what happened to Lao Lin in this world? Why did Lao Lin choose neither to be her father nor to study abroad? She wanted to ask Lao Lin a lot, but she couldn't talk about it despite her current status.
Just as she was looking at the figure of Lao Lin and meditating, there were two sanitation workers by the pond in the park carrying baskets and rowing boats, preparing to pick up the garbage in the pond.
When it was too late, Lao Lin quickly jumped into the boat, picked up the bamboo pole, and punted the boat, and the small wooden boat swayed away from the shore.
Lao Lin's dark and vicissitudes of face finally showed a smug expression.
Lin Zhaoxi stood on the shore, not in a hurry. She chose a shade on the shore, sat down on a rock, took out the Olympiad book and exercise book, and read it.
The small wooden boat floats slowly on the water, which is suitable for reviewing sailing in flowing water. Lin Zhaoxi started from the most basic questions, substituted the formulas and tried the calculations, and quickly mastered them.
She read a book for a while, and looked at the lake for a while. Thanks to the experience in her previous life, she knew that there was only one pier in the whole pond, and Lao Lin would come back no matter where he drifted.
The wind was gentle, the sun was setting to the west, and finally the boat docked. The sanitation worker carried the basket full of garbage ashore, but Lao Lin was still standing on the boat, sweating all over, looking at her with folded arms, as if to give an ultimatum.
"Why don't you leave?" Lao Lin said.
Lin Zhaoxi nodded, folded a corner of the Mathematical Olympiad book, turned to look at Lu Zhihao, and said solemnly, "You go, my master is not happy."
"Hello!" Comrade Xiao Lu stared at her, who had just slept under the tree, and stared at her when he heard this.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, let's talk about you!" In the blink of an eye, Lao Lin jumped ashore and picked up her ears.
Lin Zhaoxi thumped twice, and waved at Lu Zhihao unwillingly: "Go away."
In early summer, there is heat and cicadas chirping in the air, and the strands are very clear. The shadows of the trees in the park are swaying, and the paths are deep.
"Tell me, why are you following me?"
Lin Zhaoxi followed Lao Lin to the guard room, and watched him pick up the thermos and fill the teacup with water, opened the newspaper, and began to read the gossip news about celebrities who had mistresses.
She was locked outside, so she lay on the window and smiled at Lao Lin dog-leggedly: "Master, why did you come to save me just now?"
"I didn't save you."
"But you drove the bad guys away just now."
Lao Lin raised his hand, and Lin Zhaoxi took half a step back in shock, only to see Lao Lin's rough fingers pointing to a warning sign at the door, which read "In the park area, no stalls are allowed."
"Oh." That's why you drive the liar away.
Lin Zhaoxi continued, "My leg hurts, Master."
Lao Lin didn't want to say "Go and treat your leg pain" for the 10,000th time, even Lu Zhihao, who had been following her all along, didn't bother to say it.
"Master, my leg hurts!" Lin Zhaoxi continued.
Lao Lin slammed the newspaper angrily, and slapped the window frame: "Come in, come in, come in for me."
Lin Zhaoxi carried her schoolbag, glanced proudly at her little follower, Lu Zhihao, and swaggered into the guard room.
Lu Zhihao stood at the door, and the clock in the guard room had just passed five o'clock. He said, "I'm going to a hobby class, Lin Zhaoxi, don't disturb other people's work casually."
"I'm so principled, I won't."
"You have principles, you ghost, and you have been running around with others for a long time. Do you want to recognize your father?"
Lin Zhaoxi gasped, what happened to the people in Cheese World, everyone is so sharp!
She hurried to see Lao Lin, for fear of Lao Lin's reaction, but Lao Lin lowered his head, as if he didn't hear the conversation outside the house at all.
After Comrade Xiao Lu finished speaking, he turned his head and ran away, looking really anxious.
Lin Zhaoxi walked into the guard room and stood obediently beside Lao Lin. In the distance was the back of Comrade Xiao Lu running towards the sunset: "Master, he has finally left."
Lao Lin opened the drawer and took out a roll of gauze and alcohol cotton. There were other things such as iodine and medicine in the drawer. They were probably prepared for tourists who were accidentally injured. After all, there were many children running around in the park. .
She sat down on a chair consciously, rolled up her pant legs, exposing her bruised knees, and looked at Lao Lin eagerly.
Lao Lin just... just threw the alcohol cotton over.
The electric fan in the guard room was whirling, and Lin Zhaoxi put it away when she was ready.
She sat with her knees hugged, and began to wipe off the mud and blood clots on her knees little by little. The alcohol was cold and cold, and she breathed it. Because of the pain, her tears fell involuntarily.
"Why are you crying when he's gone?" Lao Lin asked.
"I'm not crying." Lin Zhaoxi sniffed, wiped off a piece of mud on her knees, gasped, and almost didn't cry out, "He's actually pretty good, I helped him, he was afraid I was deceived by the bad guys, and I followed them all the time."
"I'm a bad guy, why are you following me?"
"Master is not a bad person." Lin Zhaoxi said idiotically.
Lao Lin didn't continue.
After a while, she wanted to ask Lao Lin for a piece of alcohol cotton, but found that Lao Lin was staring at her seriously.
Lin Zhaoxi: "What... why are you looking at me, my legs are still hurting, don't drive me away!"
"I'm looking, people, how can you be so stupid."
"ah?"
"Other people know that there is an accident and they will notify the park management. Are you going to run into it?"
"I'm stupid." Lin Zhaoxi answered naturally.
Others were referring to Pei Zhi, of course. Seeing what Lao Lin meant, Pei Zhi should have informed the park administrators a long time ago. He delayed the mental arithmetic king for a while, and when the administrators arrived, he was fine and left.
Compared to Pei Zhi, she is so straightforward, of course she is stupid.
But at this moment, although she was sitting on the small wooden stool with her eyes red and arms crossed, her legs were covered with injuries, and she looked pitiful, but she was actually happy in her heart. She really felt that, if it wasn't for being so stupid and aggressive, how could she meet Pei Zhi by such a coincidence, and, more importantly, meet Lao Lin again
Lao Lin couldn't look at her anymore, turned his head and smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case, and lifted the lighter.
Lin Zhaoxi coughed heavily, but Old Lin Xiang didn't hear it at all, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he lit the cigarette.
"Master, smoking is not good. I'm still a primary school student, so I can't smoke in front of primary school students." Lin Zhaoxi pointed at herself and said sternly.
She actually knew that Lao Lin would smoke, but in her memory, she only saw Lao Lin smoking once. It seemed that one night, a quarrel broke out at home, she heard the door slamming, and got up sleepily. Lao Lin was sitting in the yard looking at the sky, holding the smoke from somewhere under his fingertips, under the starry sky, Lao Lin looked back at her.
At that time, Lao Lin's eyes were the same as now, indifferent and cold, unfeeling and destructive, as if he was about to ascend. But the moment he saw her, he put out the cigarette butt.
But later, no matter how she asked, Lao Lin at that time would never say anything, so now Lao Lin would not confide in a little girl who had never met before.
She stared at Lao Lin, not knowing what happened, and was very worried.
"Master, why do you work in the park." She asked tentatively.
"Because of being poor."
"..."
"Where's your family?" She asked again.
However, Lao Lin finished smoking a cigarette slowly, and when the clock passed half past five, he stood up from his chair, extinguished his cigarette, and walked out of the guard room.
Lao Lin looked back at her, with a sad face, very desperate: "I beg you, can you not follow me?"
"no."
"In the end what you want!"
