Chapter 514 The white rabbit enters the wolf's den
On the third day of the first lunar month, Wang Haochuan and his sister went to their aunt's house to pay New Year greetings. They brought a lot of things, just like when their aunt came to visit them.
The two of them were waiting for the bus. A boy got off the bus and curiously looked at the street scene in front of him. The boy was fair and clean, with a calm temperament "from a big city".
The boy approached the Wang siblings and asked politely: "Excuse me, is this Rulin Street?"
"Yes." Wang Jingyi replied: "Which one are you looking for?"
The implication is that she knows all the neighbors who live here.
The boy's tone was very polite: "I'm looking for a girl named Xie Ying. Do you know her?"
Wang Jingyi glanced at her brother sensitively, but Wang Haochuan's expression did not change.
The boy continued: "When she introduced herself, she said she lived on Rulin Street in the city, so I came here. But can I find her..."
Wang Haochuan's eyes were sharp and he looked at the boy repeatedly. He felt that he did not look like a bad person. He exchanged glances with his sister and then said: "The Xie family has been retaliated by others before. Are you..."
"Retaliation? Has such a big thing happened to her family? Don't worry, although I look a little strange, I am by no means a bad person. She and I met at the university's fellow gathering, and I told her that I would come
If she comes to the city, I will give her New Year greetings."
Good guy, here comes another potential love rival. Wang Haochuan remained silent, and Wang Jingyi decided to be more generous: "Xiaoying is my neighbor, and we only have one Xie Ying here. Do you want to go to her house?"
The boy's eyes shone: "Yes, can you tell me where her home is?"
Wang Jingyi looked at her brother again, with some sympathy in her eyes. Wang Haochuan said calmly: "Then come with me."
The boy looked at the bustling Rulin Street and said with a naive smile: "It doesn't look like the countryside here."
Wang Haochuan asked coldly: "Who said this is the countryside?"
"That's what Xie Ying said! She said that her hometown is extremely poor and there is nothing interesting at all."
Wang Haochuan smiled bitterly. Xie Ying must have loved her hometown. She made up such a lie, probably to show that her living conditions were poor, and then scare away this boy?
The boy looked at the scenery here curiously and stepped on a cannon. A muffled sound frightened him so much that he jumped into the air and almost fell to the ground.
Wang Haochuan, who was willing to help others, had his hands in his pockets at this time and had no intention of comforting him.
The boy didn't feel embarrassed, he laughed and said: "You can set off firecrackers here, it's great!"
"Because this is not the city center." Wang Haochuan simply replied: "You can't let go after crossing Fuchuan Bridge."
The boy didn't notice Wang Haochuan's coldness and kept chattering: "Xie Ying said that there was an ancient academy here? There were two Jinshi and many scholars here? It seems that there was also a No. 1 scholar? Even today, people here
We still attach great importance to education and produce many college students every year.”
"We are not a famous scenic spot here, how do you know this?"
"Xie Ying introduced it." The boy said with a naive smile: "At the hometown meeting, she proudly introduced the place where she grew up. However, when I asked again later, she said it was very poor and not worth coming."
Wang Haochuan thought silently in his heart - Xie Ying just doesn't want you to come, why can't you even understand the implication?
Wang Haochuan decided to take the initiative: "Do you like Xie Ying very much?"
"Hehe..." Faced with such a straightforward question, the boy lowered his head and said nothing. After taking two steps, he said: "Xie Ying sings really well. If she becomes a professional singer, she will definitely have a large number of fans."
"Have you ever heard her sing?"
"Well, at the fellow gathering, she sang a song called "Azalea." I was originally only interested in pop music, but the song she sang was so beautiful that I really wanted to record it and listen to it every day."
The boy is thin and tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses. While he is elegant and elegant, he also has an air of stupidity - the kind of stupidity that grows up in a honeypot and never knows that the world is suffering. Face it
Even Wang Haochuan, a stranger, could start a conversation without thinking.
Wang Haochuan calmed down and said, "You keep saying 'fellow fellows will do' over and over again. Don't you and Xie Ying have anything else to talk about?"
The boy shook his head shyly: "Xie Ying may not even know my name."
Wang Haochuan's heart fell back into his stomach.
"Then, does Xie Ying know you are coming?"
"Xie Ying can tell any lie to avoid me. She said she went to pay New Year's greetings, but she was probably just perfunctory with me."
…
It turns out that this boy is not completely brainless. He still knows how Xie Ying treats him.
"So I decided to come to her house to find him." The boy suddenly became determined: "I came all the way, she can't drive me away, right?"
Wang Haochuan looked at his opponent again. It seemed that the boy was still holding back his energy and did not back down because of the temporary setback.
There are several shops at the south entrance of Rulin Street. The boy bought a box of milk and a box of drinks. Fearing that the gift in his hand was too light, he took two more Chinese cigarettes. Wang Haochuan inadvertently glanced at his wallet, which was bulging with money.
Holding a thick stack of hundred dollar bills.
After paying the bill, the boy came out of the store and handed Wang Haochuan a bottle of juice: "Classmate, I wasted your time. You can have a drink!"
"No need." Wang Haochuan refused without hesitation: "It's easy, don't worry about it. Xie Ying's home is in the alley behind, just two steps away."
"This classmate, do you live here too? Are you familiar with Xie Ying?"
Wang Haochuan wanted to answer, "It's our childhood sweethearts," but he was afraid of exposing all his secrets, so he said calmly: "We grew up together - Xie Ying's family is in the innermost household."
"Oh...thank you."
Wang Haochuan kindly reminded: "Xie Ying's house is having a treat today, do you really want to go?"
"It's a treat... I'll give her a CD and then leave. I'm not here to be a guest at her house. I definitely won't eat at her house."
"Then...I will send you here, you go." Wang Haochuan kindly reminded again: "There are really a lot of people in their house. Don't be scared."
"Haha, it's just that there are a lot of people. What's scary?" The boy said clearly, "I also have a lot of guests at home."
Wang Haochuan just smiled and said nothing.
Xie Ying came out of the house jumping up and down. It seemed that she had been sent to run errands. She ran extremely happily. The boy's eyes shone: "Xie Ying!"
Xie Ying shivered and almost turned around and ran home.
But that's really rude.
She could only bite the bullet and pretend to be enthusiastic: "Classmate Sun, happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Xie Ying. I'm so lucky that you didn't go to a relative's house to pay New Year greetings today."
Xie Ying felt so embarrassed that her lies were exposed on the spot. This felt so bad.
"I came to see my fourth aunt, and I stopped by to see you." Classmate Sun mentioned the things in his hand: "Wouldn't it be too shabby to bring these things to your house?"
Xie Ying scratched her head in confusion: "No... you and I are not relatives, but you come to my house with a gift, how can I accept it..."
"I can't come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. I don't know who's in your family, so I just bought some. The elderly can drink milk, juice for the children, and cigarettes for the adults in your family... Is that okay?"
Xie Ying was dizzy and didn't know what to do. She caught a glimpse of Wang Haochuan hiding in the corner and was about to wave, but Wang Haochuan left.
"You can come and sit at my house." Xie Ying was at a loss for words: "Just put your things here and don't take them into my house."
"How can that be done? That would be rude to me."
"Then... whatever." Xie Ying said: "There are many guests coming to my house today. My uncles and cousins have come to pay New Year's greetings to my grandparents. Don't be afraid when they come into my house later."
"They are all your relatives, what are you afraid of?"
Although both Xie Ying and Wang Haochuan reminded him "don't be afraid," Sun still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. His smile was still so bright, like an ignorant white rabbit.
The boy strode towards the door of Xie Ying's house. The door was open. When he saw the scene in the yard, he couldn't help but take two steps back.
There were at least ten sturdy men gathered in the yard. They were wearing black or gray cotton clothes. They were smoking, drinking tea, making loud noises, or spitting vigorously into the flower beds. The noise was loud, and a barbaric and rough atmosphere hit their faces.
Come.
The group of big men saw the boy with a handsome face, and after just one glance, the boy trembled, fearing that he would accidentally join a criminal gang.
If someone didn't know better, they would have thought that the men in this family were going to fight.
Xie Ying looked at the frightened classmate Sun sympathetically. She had already reminded him that he had narrowed the road himself.
A big man who was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed over 200 kilograms, with a string of large gold chains hanging from his chest, waved to Classmate Sun: "Which family are you from?"
Classmate Sun looked confused - who am I? Where do I come from? What am I doing?
"I have a question for you!" the big man urged impatiently: "Who is your adult? Which generation are you from?"
Classmate Sun is still stupid and stupid.
Xie Ying helped him out and said to the big man: "Third uncle, this is a classmate I met in college. His name is Sun Shiyao. He came to our house to pay New Year's greetings."
"Oh oh oh, it turns out to be classmate Xiaoying! Come in, come in - yo, you are a student, why do you buy such expensive cigarettes?"
"Not expensive, not expensive." Sun Shiyao looked around tremblingly, eager to find a kind face. Unfortunately, all he could see were strong and rough men.
Although Sun Shiyao knew that they were not bad people, he was still inevitably afraid.
Xie Qing came out to greet the guests and was stunned when he saw Sun Shiyao. Looking at his niece's expression, he understood a little bit more. He took the gift Sun Shiyao brought and planned to give him a gift of similar price.
But he said: "This boy has a very strong execution ability. He dares to come to our house alone."
Although Sun Shiyao was timid, he was also very magnanimous: "I'm worried that other boys will come to pay Xie Ying New Year's greetings."
…
The men burst into laughter and kept praising Sun Shiyao's courage. The third uncle wearing a big gold chain said: "Don't look at this guy like a little white rabbit, he's okay, he's quite courageous! Come on!
, I’ll be drinking here at noon today!”
Sun Shiyao felt dizzy and wanted to leave several times, but he was pulled back by them every time. Isn't it easy for a group of big bad wolves to catch a little white rabbit?
Xie Qingshou said that he came to visit Xie Ying with gifts and should have lunch at Xie's house. So, the skinny Sun Shiyao sat at a loss among a group of big men, shivering. He secretly looked at Xie Ying, hoping that she could provide him with a "
"Children's table" position.
But to his disappointment, there was no "children's table" that day, and even Xie Jing ate with the adults.
Sun Shiyao watched helplessly as Xie Ying's cousins ate meat and drank heavily, and he had the illusion that they were having a dinner at Zhongyi Hall in Liangshan. He drank a few glasses of wine in a daze, and his vision became blurry. Fortunately, Xie Ying finally
His close cousin sat with him and helped him block a lot of wine and a lot of ridicule.
In his drunken haze, Classmate Sun felt that Xie Ying's cousin was still very reliable. He giggled, held Xie Chong's hand and shook it up and down, his eyes full of drunkenness: "Brother! You are so kind! You will be my brother from now on!"
