There were not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally one or two people with umbrellas came and went in a hurry, and no one noticed Shen Jize on the street. Only people who go in and out of Internet cafes will pay more attention to him when they see him.
The people in the town were familiar with each other, Shen Jize looked like a stranger. A handsome boy who has just grown up, his temperament is between mature and youthful, his body is tall and handsome, and his face is handsome, making people unable to look away.
Grilled sausages were sold at the entrance of the Internet cafe, each cost two yuan. Shen Jize bought two sausages and a bottle of purified water. While eating, he asked the boss where to find a car if he wanted to go to Longquan Village.
The boss was wiping the ashes on the counter with a rag, and asked without raising his head, "Are you going to Longquan Village?"
Shen Jize nodded and said, "Yes."
"Longquan Village has long since disappeared..." The boss wiped the dust leisurely.
"Longquan Village is gone?" Shen Jize's heart sank, and he asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Before the boss could make a sound, an old man who was sitting on a deck chair watching the rain suddenly interrupted: "A few years ago, the Longtan Mountain mudslide flooded the entire village, and Longquan Village just disappeared."
Shen Jize clenched the mineral water in his hand, and asked, "What about the people in the village? Has something happened to them?"
The mineral water had just been taken out of the freezer, and the water droplets on the bottle flowed down the back of his hand, dripping coldly on the ground.
His tone was so tense that the boss stopped plastering and looked at him curiously. After seeing the boy's pale face, he realized that he might have relatives in Longquan Village, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's fine, everyone in the village is fine."
Shen Jize secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face softened.
Across the street, several half-grown teenagers covered their heads with clothes, and rushed over yelling. They were probably going to go to the Internet cafe, and they were all crowded beside Shen Jize, laughing and cursing while brushing their wet hair with their hands.
"Then do you know where all the people in Longquan Village have moved to?" Shen Jize stood aside and asked the boss.
When one of the half-grown boys heard about Longquan Village, he couldn't help but look sideways at Shen Jize, and then nudged the people beside him with his elbow to signal them to look.
The boss thought for a while and said, "They have all moved to Yulu Village, they don't belong to our town, and if they want to go, they have to take a bus for half an hour."
Shen Jize asked: "Then do you know Cai Ye, the village head of Longquan Village? Has his family also gone to Yulu Village?"
"What are you doing with those savages in Longquan Village?" A rough male voice with a changing voice suddenly interjected.
Shen Jize turned his head to look. It was a fat boy who looked about his age.
Hearing that he called the people in Longquan Village savages, Shen Jize frowned and didn't answer, then turned back to continue talking with the boss.
"Brother Fat, this guy is so annoying, he ignores you." A teenager curled his lips.
This fat guy was Fatty Chen who tore up Lu Rong's remittance slip before. He was going to bring this group of people into the Internet cafe, but when he saw Shen Jize's appearance as a city man, he wanted to strike up a conversation. Unexpectedly, people ignored him at all, felt that he had lost face in front of his younger brother, and suddenly felt angry.
"Are you looking for the rich man of Longquan Village?" Fatty Chen walked up to Shen Jize.
When Shen Jize heard this, he immediately turned to look at him: "Do you know Mr. Cai?"
"Of course we know each other. Our two families had a good relationship before. When he went down the mountain, he often had dinner with my dad." Fatty Chen showed a friendly smile: "Are you a relative of his family?"
Hearing what he said, Shen Jize's dissatisfaction with the savage at the beginning dissipated instantly, and he asked eagerly, "Then do you know where their home is now? Is it in Yulu Village?"
Fatty Chen rolled his eyes: "Of course I know, but you haven't answered my question yet. Are you a relative of his family?"
Shen Jize could only respond: "I am a relative of his family, and I am Lu Rong's elder brother."
The teenagers behind Shen Jize all turned their eyes to Fatty Chen after hearing the word Lu Rong, winking and mouthing. Fatty Chen nodded slightly, meaning he understood.
Fatty Chen looked him up and down: "Are you from the capital? Are you looking for Lu Rong?"
Shen Jize didn't use the local dialect, and his Mandarin was very standard, which reminded him that the remittance address shown on the torn remittance slip was the capital city.
At that time, it was not a trivial matter for a child to have more than one hundred yuan, and he became angry when he didn't get the money, which also left a deep memory on him. Although he was frightened so much that he dared not provoke Lu Rong again, but if he could take revenge a little behind the scenes, it would be a kind of compensation.
It is the person in front of me who is not allowed to send the money, even if it is not, it does not matter, after all, I will not lose anything.
When Shen Jize heard him mention the capital, he was even less suspicious now, and said repeatedly: "Yes, I'm just looking for Lu Rong, and I'm his brother."
"So you are the elder brother that Lu Rong often mentioned?"
Fatty Chen had already acquired a lot of social habits, so he reached out and patted Shen Jize's shoulder affectionately.
Shen Jize turned around uncomfortably, and calmly shook off the thick arm that was holding him.
Fatty Chen continued to say indifferently: "Lu Rong often mentions you, we all know it."
Before Shen Jize could speak, he leaned closer and said in a low voice, "But let me advise you, this kid Lu Rong looks good, but he's actually not good at heart, so you can't be fooled by him."
Shen Jize was slightly taken aback, and then his face darkened.
Fatty Chen said again: "He often told us that he recognized a brother in the capital. I really thought I was his brother."
Shen Jize didn't believe a word of what Fatty Chen said.
Lu Rong is so obedient and they are so close together, he can't believe that these words will come from the mouth of the little boy who is clearer than the mountain spring.
Fatty Chen saw the anger on his face, knew that he didn't believe it, and said earnestly: "Do you think I'm lying to you? That kid has changed, he's become bad. Have you ever sent him money? With that Some kind of money order?"
Shen Jize turned his head abruptly, stared coldly at Fatty Chen's face, and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
He was scolding Fatty Chen, but he was still a little shocked.
Because of sending money, Lu Rong even hid it from his grandfather. Even if his classmates knew about the remittance slip, Fatty Chen was much older than him, so he was obviously not a classmate. If Lu Rong didn't say it himself, how would he know
The teenagers behind him also chattered, all looking sincere and regretful: "That kid really failed at school, and he has all kinds of bad problems after he arrives at the town primary school. Otherwise, how would we know that he A brother who took advantage of him sent him money?"
"That's right, so when you said you were his elder brother just now, we knew who you were, the fool he said."
"The kid from Cai Ye's family stole his grandpa's money at a young age, and even knew he was in a relationship."
Some teenagers seemed to want to laugh, but they suppressed it and added: "Yes, puppy love."
"Puppy love?" Shen Jize couldn't help asking sensitively.
"That's right, falling in love with a girl in their class." Fatty Chen clicked his tongue and said, "The children are very affectionate in pairs, and the two of them went to the river embankment hand in hand after school. It's really embarrassing."
"However, if you want to find him, we can give you the address. He lives in Yulu Village now, and he has to take a shuttle bus. He will arrive in an hour."
"Yes, yes, his home is in Yulu Village now."
A group of teenagers all echoed.
After Fatty Chen and the others entered the Internet cafe satisfied, Shen Jize was still standing under the eaves.
A puppy love disturbed his thoughts, and he didn't have the heart to distinguish the authenticity of this matter. The young man's destroyed self-esteem and the disappointment of his hopes made him feel empty.
The boss who had finished watching an episode of the TV series suddenly called him: "The student, did you just ask me how to get to Yulu Village? You see, there is a bus to Yulu Village over there."
Shen Jize stood there in a daze, without any reaction. Seeing him like this, the boss ignored him, turned his head and continued watching the TV series by himself.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, a van stopped in front of him, and the driver asked enthusiastically, "Young man, are you going into the city? This is the last bus today, so hurry up if you want to go."
Shen Jize woke up and looked around blankly. After the driver asked again, he finally gritted his teeth and got into the car without looking back.
The van drove quickly to the county seat. The car was empty, and the only passengers were Shen Jize and a middle-aged woman in the co-pilot. The middle-aged woman and the driver were talking all the way, and Shen Jize was staring at the rain on the car window in a daze.
Lu Rong's delicate and naive face appeared in front of my eyes: "Brother, count, everything we say counts, marriage also counts."
Shen Jize leaned his head against the car window, shaking slightly with the bumping body.
The one who counts, the one who always counts, and those promises are engraved in his heart. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come back from abroad all the way, and then took a few days by car to Longtan Town.
But what about Lurong
Lu Rong was still so young back then, he didn't understand those promises at all, and he didn't take them seriously like himself, so keep them in mind...
A 14-year-old boy has been living in a simple environment. He is obviously innocent but thinks he knows all the sophistication of the world. He doesn't understand that there are actually many dirty and malicious things in this world. Ice water was poured on my head and face for my sincere and passionate emotions. I just wanted to escape and leave here as soon as possible.
Shen Jize directly bought a train ticket back to the capital. Fortunately, this time, he bought a sleeper berth and no longer suffers from the torment he had when he came. But when he was lying on the bed, his mood was very different from when he came.
On the opposite bunk were two little boys, both with local accents. The older one is in his early ten years old, and the younger one is about seven or eight years old. They should be two brothers who went to Beijing to find working parents during the holidays.
The elder brother was very patient, taking care of the younger brother all the way, and peeling apples for him. The younger brother leaned his head on his elder brother's shoulder and said sweetly, "Brother, you are so kind."
He noticed Shen Jize's gaze, chewing an apple in his mouth, and looked over curiously, his big eyes gleaming.
Shen Jize glanced away indifferently, thinking to himself: "Little boys are actually liars."
…
After listening to Shen Jize's narration of the whole incident, Lu Rong took a step back and broke free from his embrace.
His black eyes were covered with mist, and he asked a little aggrieved and sad: "Why do you easily believe other people's words? Why don't you come to me? I never lied to you, those words are all fake. Remittance He just discovered it by accident because he wanted to blackmail me for money, but I didn't agree. I didn't fall in love with the little girl, nothing. You've already arrived in Longtan Town, why didn't you come and ask me?"
Fatty Chen, he remembers, has always liked to bully the children in the town. He went out to work after only one year in high school. It is said that he committed some crimes and went to prison. He and Shen Jize didn't know each other before, but how could Shen Jize believe him in such a short phone call
Shen Jize stretched out his hand to hold Lu Rong, but he flung him away resentfully. He moved his fingers, looked at Lu Rong's red eyes, stood there and said in a low voice, "I didn't think about it until after I flew abroad. Fatty Chen was fooled. Since they said that your family moved to Yulu Village, which is an hour's drive away from Longtan Town, how could you be studying in the town primary school, and how did they know you?"
"Besides, you are not such a child at all. How could you become like that. It is still possible to fall in love, but it is absolutely impossible to steal grandpa's money..."
Lu Rong turned to look at him with cold eyes, Shen Jize changed his words again: "It's absolutely impossible to fall in love..."
"Then why didn't you look for me later?" Lu Rong stubbornly turned her head to the side and complained.
Shen Jize said: "My parents did not allow me to return to China, and sent me to a school with strict management. I usually have heavy studies, so I have no chance to find you again. The delay will last for so many years."
"What happened after you graduated? You didn't look for me after graduation." Lu Rong was not so easy to fool, and followed up with a question: "You still don't believe me, and you still hold a grudge against me."
Shen Jize lowered his head in silence for a moment, and said, "I believe in you. I will never forget the things we experienced together and the words we said, and you will certainly not forget them either. It's just that you were too young at that time to not I understand the meaning behind those promises, so I am a little worried, thinking that if you don't bother you, you will be able to fall in love with others when you grow up, and I will also be happy for you... "
"What about you? What kind of feelings do you have for me now?" Lu Rong turned his head, staring at him with dark eyes.
Faced with such clear eyes, Shen Jize couldn't say a word of those routines that he wanted to give himself some leeway and save face if he was rejected.
He said softly: "If the previous promise was just a simple promise, then the first time I saw you again, I knew that you will always be the most special to me."
After saying this, he stretched out his hand to caress Lu Rong's face, and stroked it lightly, with all kinds of treasure and care.
Lu Rong didn't dodge this time, but just looked at him with bated breath.
Shen Jize's eyes were burning, with undisguised emotion inside, he said softly: "The promise now has new content..."
Shen Jize recognized Lu Rong the first time he saw him.
He stood in his own office, wearing an ordinary T-shirt and trousers, and sneakers of no name.
There is nothing special about the whole body's attire, it is too ordinary to be ordinary. But he himself was like a piece of clear crystal, refracting dazzling light. At that moment, Shen Jize's breathing stopped, and his emotions were like a flood, drowning him like a torrent.
"Rongrong, I'm sorry..." Shen Jize looked at him intently: "You are so sincere and straightforward, but I have been avoiding it all the time. I like you. My feelings for you are not like that of a brother to a brother, but to my lover. For those who want to be together for a lifetime."
Lu Rong's breathing became short of breath, and a thin layer of red appeared on his face. He stared at Shen Jize obsessively, his eyes were foggy and bright as if drunk.
Shen Jize originally wanted to ask him how he felt, but felt that there was no need to ask anything, so he sighed and hugged him tightly.
He felt the soft body in his arms, his whole body was hot, and his blood was flowing faster. After taking a deep breath, he raised Lu Rong's chin with his hand, and quickly kissed his lips.
Lu Rong's body became weak uncontrollably, his whole body slid down, and he tilted his head weakly. Shen Jize held him tightly in his arms, supporting his sliding body, and the warm tip of his tongue opened the gap between his teeth.
Lu Rong whimpered and panted, and could only call his brother over and over again in the gap where he was on the verge of suffocation. And those broken and out-of-tune voices were instantly swallowed by Shen Jize.
…
After a long time, the two separated and hugged each other tightly to calm down the intense heartbeat and breath. Only then did Lu Rong realize that Shen Jize had pushed him against the wall of the box, and one of his hands was resting on the back of his head.
"elder brother… "
He murmured in an unbearably sweet voice, which seemed to be coquettish or begging for mercy, which made Shen Jize's eyes darken even more.
He barely maintained his sanity, reached out to wipe off the water stains on Lu Rong's lips, pecked at his bright red and swollen lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Rong Rong, let's find a way out first, this illusion is too weird, I I'm afraid it will be dangerous to stay too long."
Lu Rong continued to act coquettishly: "Brother..."
Shen Jize suddenly pressed his head into his arms, let him listen to the fierce heartbeat, and said breathlessly: "Don't call me brother like that, or we don't want to go out."
The two bodies were close to each other, smelling each other, Lu Rong felt something, and finally closed his mouth with a flushed face.
Shen Jize let go of his hand, and turned around awkwardly, trying to calm down his mood and body. Lu Rong stood aside, glanced at him secretly, then quickly looked away.
The atmosphere is both awkward and full of sweetness.
After a while, Shen Jize, who had finally recovered, nimbly climbed onto the edge of the box, pulled Lu Rong up, and jumped off the floor to catch him.
Lu Rong clearly could turn up and down flexibly by himself, but at this moment he was so weak that he had to timidly try a few times, as if afraid of falling, before throwing himself into Shen Jize's arms.
Once you have a husband, you immediately become a baby.
