Qi Si raised her face to prevent her neck from being injured by tilting her head for a long time.
He caught a glimpse of the black and red insects crawling on the ground, his eyes flickered, and he picked Luo Yan up and away from the tree trunk.
The little girl woke up because of the movement and called him in a soft tone: "Qi Si..."
"Well," he put her down and raised his chin slightly towards the tree, "I woke up two minutes late and you were bitten by it today."
Luo Yan yawned, looked over, and found a centipede at the bottom of the tree with numb scalp.
My heartbeat woke me up from my sleepy state.
"Oh my god..."
"Don't sleep in the wild again, it's not safe."
After saying that, Qi Si realized that he was the one who took the lead, and paused, "Where is your kite?"
"Ran."
"Well," he picked up the book, "I will buy another one later."
Because of Qi Si's support, Liu Xiaopang and his gang didn't dare to provoke and cause trouble after seeing Luo Yan. They were so good that they all smiled when they met her.
After Lu An and Qing Bai found out what happened, they said it was great to have their big brothers protecting them.
"Brother Qi Si looks so cold. I didn't expect him to be so kind to you."
Qing Bai sat on the swing and let Lu An and Luo Yan push her.
A black car came in front, and the man who got out of the car was wearing a neat suit.
Seeing them, he stepped forward and asked: "Children, is Chunshui Town ahead?"
"Yes."
"Is there a family named Qi in this town?"
Luo Yan looked at the man for a few seconds. He had a handsome face and a humble demeanor, making him feel very close to him.
"What are you doing with someone named Qi?"
"I'm a friend of that family. I'm here to visit my old friend. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
"Since we are friends, how come you don't know where your friend's home is?"
The man sighed slightly, "Something happened and we got separated. It took me a long time to find him."
Even so, Luo Yan still shook his head, "We are all children. We don't know anyone named Qi. You should ask others."
After the car was far away, Lu An came up and said, "That car is a BMW. Does Aunt Lu have such a friend?"
"have no idea."
"But he doesn't look like a bad guy."
Luo Yan held the lamb and said, "I'm going home first."
When I arrived at the door of my house, I found the car parked outside the door. I walked in. Aunt Lu and the man were chatting in the lobby. The atmosphere was peaceful and they really looked like her friends.
Observing the man's appearance, Luo Yan slowly thought, could this man be Qi Si's father?
The man spotted the girl leading the lamb through the door, with a gentle smile on his face, "When I met her outside and asked her for directions, the little girl didn't say anything yet. This child is very smart and cautious."
Qi Lu looked up, her lips slightly curved, "He is Aunt Lu's friend, you want to call him Uncle Zhou."
"Hello, Uncle Zhou."
The little girl licked her lips and walked over. Zhou Jinli gave her a box of small cakes, "What's your name?"
"Luo Yan."
"The name is nice and the person is smart."
Zhou Jinli and Qi Lu seemed to have almost finished talking. He packed up his sleeves and was about to get up. Even though Aunt Lu left him to have dinner, he left on the pretext that he had something else to do.
"Little guy, I'll see you next time, uncle is gone."
"Goodbye, Uncle Zhou."
"Aunt Lu, does Uncle Zhou have anything to do with you? I met him at the entrance of the village earlier and thought he was a bad guy so I didn't give him directions."
Qi Lu put away the tea and fruit snacks on the coffee table and said in a soft voice, "He was my senior in college and an excellent doctor. We haven't seen each other for almost ten years. He stopped by to visit me. Nothing happened."
"Oh, he turns out to be a doctor. He looks very powerful."
Since that visit, Zhou Jinli visited Qi Lu several times.
The atmosphere was peaceful and tranquil every time.
Until one day after school, Luo Yan just stepped in the door and heard the man's slightly tight voice saying: "Why are you so stubborn? If you stay here, your body..."
"I know," Qi Lu's voice was as gentle as ever, "I also have a medical background and know my own situation. I have my own plans, so you don't have to worry about me."
Zhou Jinli's face slightly condensed, he looked at Qi Lu and sighed, "Think carefully about what I say. Once you have thought clearly, you can call me at any time and I will have someone pick you up."
He was about to leave, raised his eyes, and saw the little girl at the door.
Qi Lu's expression paused for a moment when she saw Luo Yan, and it passed quickly.
"Yanyan is back?"
"Well." Luo Yan looked at the man who brought a lot of things to Qi Si and the others every time he came, "Is Uncle Zhou leaving again?"
"Yes," Zhou Jinli touched her head, "What does the little one want to eat? I'll buy it for you next time I come here."
She curled her lips, "I like to eat everything."
I don't know which day started, Luo Yan noticed that when Aunt Lu was combing her hair early in the morning, the amount of fallen hair lying on her hands had obviously increased. Qi Lu looked at those dark hairs, and the ends of her eyes slightly curved helplessly, "It seems that I haven't done a good job in hair care lately.
In place.”
She always slept with Aunt Lu, and Qi Lu would get up once at night if she couldn't sleep. Later, she felt that she was affecting the little one's sleep, so she let Luo Yan sleep in a separate room.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Aunt Lu made colorful rice dumplings and asked her to give some to her friends. Luo Yan carried a small basket and walked near Ji Qingbai's house. From a distance, she saw several cars parked at the intersection, except for five or six people in uniforms.
, a circle of fellow villagers stood around.
I saw people in white coats carrying someone on a stretcher into the car in front, and Ji Qingbai got into the car behind.
The car started and several cars lined up to leave.
Luo Yan had a hunch that Ji Qingbai seemed to be going somewhere far away.
She ran after the car, shouting from behind: "Qingbai! Ji Qingbai——"
The car didn't look very fast, but she couldn't catch up.
Ji Qingbai seemed to hear her and stuck his head out of the car window to look at her.
She was too far away, so I didn't know if Ji Qingbai had spoken. All I could see was that she waved her hand. There seemed to be a smile on her fair face, but she also seemed to be crying.
"Your rice dumplings——"
Luo Yan held up the heavy bunch of rice dumplings, and the rear of the car disappeared into the greenery at the corner of the field, and the girl with the flowing short hair could no longer be seen.
I heard from the villagers who were watching that Ji Qingbai's grandmother passed away and she became an orphan and was picked up by a welfare home.
"This child has a hard life. He lost his parents at a young age and has to take care of a mentally disturbed grandmother." An uncle shook his head, "Her grandmother used to favor boys over girls, and she didn't take care of the child after the father left.
She should let others see how the little girl lives."
"Well, everyone has their own destiny. I hope she will have a good life in the orphanage in the future."
With Ji Qingbai gone, Luo Yan always felt bored when playing with Lu An.
Lu An was even more sad than she was.
The two grew up together and had a deep relationship. After Ji Qingbai left, Lu An cried several times.
Whenever he cries, Luo Yan can't help but cry too.
Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone said they would dig kudzu together. When she and Lu An dug out a very thick root, they had no one to share their joy with. After chewing the kudzu several times, they still couldn't feel the sweetness, only the bitter taste.
