Li Tianbao didn't expect to bump into her when he came back. He was stunned and replied: "Oh, I have a stomachache, so I won't go."
After saying that, he went directly to the hut.
The toilets in collective households are public, but there are two separate toilets for men and women, just in case there is no place to go when needed.
Watching his leaving figure, Shen Man always felt that something was wrong. Then he hurried to get firewood because it was too cold outside.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and it's not even warm to wear a cotton-padded jacket.
After getting firewood and returning to the room, she closed the door and added two pieces to the stove, then patted the ashes on herself.
He pulled the light cord casually, and the dim light came on.
It was getting dark outside, and Shen Man was sitting by the kang, wondering if he could eat something good while everyone was away.
Although you can't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, there are beef and mutton rolls in the space, and you can have a hot hot pot.
Wouldn’t it be delicious to have a hot pot in the middle of winter?
But she remembered that Li Tianbao was still there, so she thought about it and let it go. After all, the smell of this stuff was so strong that it would inevitably not be discovered.
Just as she was about to lock the door, the door was suddenly pushed open.
No knocking!
Shen Man looked at the visitor with cold eyes, feeling uneasy.
"Li Tianbao, you didn't knock on the door when you entered someone else's room. You really have no manners at all!" Her tone was cold, and she was obviously angry.
Usually everyone lives in this courtyard, so even if the door is unlocked, no one would dare to do this.
When someone of the opposite sex enters a room, everyone will knock on the door.
Hearing this, Li Tianbao smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Shen Man, I just wanted to come over and talk to you. You see, everyone is not here, so I have nothing to do to chat!"
This person actually walked into the room while talking?
Shen Man immediately took a step back cautiously, but the room was too small, so he retreated to the kang.
"Li Tianbao, please go out now. I don't want to talk to you and there is nothing to talk about." She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down.
At this time, she also discovered that Li Tianbao must have wanted to do something bad while everyone was away.
Having experienced so much since childhood, Shen Man would not think that his speculation was malicious. On the contrary, human nature is the worst.
Li Tianbao on the other side saw her and was so frightened that she backed away. He didn't plan to be so radical, but things had reached this point and he couldn't control it. He thought and pounced on her.
Seeing this person suddenly rushing towards him, Shen Man was startled and immediately ran away. His leg accidentally touched the stove, but he didn't care.
There were so many people who cared about her in her previous life, but none of them came to force her, so she was a little surprised by the sudden change.
After avoiding Li Tianbao, she ran out without looking back.
Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky, there is a deserted road on the other side, and the village is on the other side.
Shen Man ran directly to the village without thinking.
Although most people went to watch the movie, there will definitely be people watching the movie, or some people with limited mobility at home.
In this way, if Li Tianbao chased her, he would definitely hear her shouting and hesitate.
But then I thought about it, even if I heard her shouting, someone with limited mobility would not come out.
Suddenly, Shen Man slammed into a wall of flesh and was bounced to the ground.
I didn't look up when I ran just now, I just ran with my head down, and I didn't expect to hit something.
At first she thought she had hit some bull or horse, but after all, it would definitely be a heavyweight if she was knocked away.
But when she raised her head and looked over, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
It's not a cow or a horse...
Gu Chen looked at the panicked person in front of him, who looked like he was stunned, and then reached out to pull the collar of the other person's cotton-padded jacket.
He was picked up directly.
Shen Man:......
Do you feel like a little chicken?
Before she could think more, the person opposite spoke.
"Why are you here? What happened." Gu Chen put her on the ground and asked.
Hearing this, Shen Man finally remembered and turned around to see that there was no one chasing him in the direction of the collective household.
She breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's nothing... I was just chased away by a dog."
In her eyes, Li Tianbao's behavior was worse than that of a dog.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions.
Suddenly, Shen Man remembered something and asked, "Didn't Gu Nan say you went on a blind date? Why didn't you... go..."
After saying this, she regretted it. For such a situation, isn't this equivalent to exposing someone's scars?
For a man who can't go on a blind date with a woman, the reason why he doesn't go on a blind date is obvious, right?
It is estimated that the woman regretted it, or did not agree to the blind date, or something like that.
Gu Chen, who was opposite him, had a complex expression on his face and replied calmly: "Do you like to inquire about other people's affairs? But it's okay, I don't want to go."
That's right, he doesn't want to go on a blind date. He doesn't want to harm lesbians either, so it's better not to go.
So after everyone in the family left, he went out for a walk, but unexpectedly he was hit by someone.
Shen Man looked back again. Seeing that it was dark and couldn't see anything, he turned around and said, "Can I go to your house for a while?"
In contrast, she was unwilling to return to the wolf's den in the collective household.
Gu Nan is a nice person, and Gu Chen wouldn't take advantage of others' danger.
She had to wait until all the people watching the movie came back before she could go back.
Gu Chen was obviously stunned. Thinking of the panicked look of this girl just now, he nodded in agreement.
The two walked one behind the other and soon arrived at Gu's house.
The Gu family has a large yard, and both houses are made of clay, but they are neatly repaired and are better than other houses that are about to collapse.
Most of the houses here are made of loess. The collective houses were also built in the past two years and used red bricks.
After entering the house, a wave of hot air hit her face, and Shen Man felt very warm.
As soon as you enter the house, there are two stoves, one on the left and one on the left. This is the case in houses in the northeast. This is also the kitchen, and in local dialect it is called the outhouse.
After entering the east room, Gu Chen said, "You go on the kang to warm yourself up. I'll go to the west room to stay for a while."
He knew that the two of them were about the same age, and he was afraid that the other would feel uncomfortable if they stayed here for a long time, so he left after saying that.
Seeing the door being closed, Shen Man shouted thank you, then quickly sat down by the kang and put his hands under his legs.
As for getting on the kang, forget it. Although it would be warmer, she wasn't familiar with the rest of the Gu family, so she wasn't so polite.
Looking at the clock on the big mahogany box, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
I don't know when the movie will end and when the others will come back.
Sighing, Shen Man leaned against the wall, only to find a hole in his cotton pants and the cotton inside had shrunk.
She must have touched the stove just now. It's a pity that she only wears cotton pants.
There are warm clothes in the space, but they cannot be taken out to wear, as they can be easily discovered.
I touched it with my hand and found that the area around the hole was already scorched, so I guess it needs to be patched.
These were still new cotton trousers. Thinking of this made her feel distressed, and she felt even more disgusted with Li Tianbao.
