The sunshine in the countryside was exceptionally bright and the air was exceptionally fresh. It was already noon when Ju's mother drove to the settlement village. The normal journey of more than an hour took more than three hours due to traffic jams.
Ju Zhi had not been to her grandmother's house for more than two months. When she saw familiar friends of the same age outside the window, she happily rolled down the window and waved hello. Several of the boys among those children were very happy to see Ju Zhi.
They were so excited that they even chased the car for a long distance. Soon after, the car stopped at the door of a farmhouse. Ju's mother and Ju Zhi got out of the car, took out their luggage from the trunk and entered the house together. At this time, they saw
An old woman was sitting alone on the kang watching TV. When she heard the sound of someone entering the room, she slowly turned her head and saw two familiar faces, but for a moment she couldn't remember who they were.
Grandma Ju: "Who is it? Who is coming?"
Ju’s mother: “Mom, it’s me”
With tears in her eyes, she sat next to Grandma Ju and held her mother's hand with both hands.
Grandma Ju's memory may be getting worse and worse in recent years because she is older, and she often says strange things. But most of the time she is awake and insists on staying at home, refusing to follow her daughter into the city.
Grandma said, "This is her home. She can't leave. If she leaves, Grandpa Ju will not be able to find her when he comes back." In fact, Grandpa Ju has passed away for many years, but Grandma Ju always misses him in her heart.
The old man tried his best to open his eyes wide and look at the familiar face in front of him. Suddenly he seemed to remember something. His eyes sparkled and a smile appeared on his face. He touched Ju's mother's face with his other dry hand.
Hair. Mother and daughter always have tears in their eyes every time they meet. Maybe they realize that there are not many opportunities to meet...
The mother and daughter chatted about home life together. Mother Ju was more concerned about her mother's current situation and worried about whether she could eat well and sleep well at night. Grandma Ju asked Mother Ju to get more rest. Now she is busy with work.
You have to be busy taking care of the children again, so don't get tired. The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Ju's mother motioned to Ju Zhi to come over and talk to her grandma. Ju Zhi then obediently walked to her side and bent down so that she could see clearly.
own face.
Ju Pheasant: “Grandma, it’s me, I’m Ju Pheasant.”
The face she was close to looked like she had some baby fat. Grandma Ju didn’t know what she thought of, but she stretched out her hand and pinched Ju Pheasant’s face with her thumb and index finger. This gentle pinch made Ju Pheasant’s beautiful face instantly glow.
It became funny. Ju's mother couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.
Grandma Ju: "Orange, you are fat again"
Ju Zhi: "Grandma, don't say that, I'm not fat."
Ju’s mother: “It’s better to be fatter. Today’s girls all regard being thin as beautiful. In order to lose weight, many people go on a diet and induce vomiting. This is all embarrassment to their bodies.”
Grandma Ju let go of her hand holding Ju Zhi's face, and suddenly her expression turned sad. Ju's mother and Ju Zhi stood aside and didn't know what was going on...
Grandma Ju: "It's all my fault..."
Ju’s mother: “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”
Grandma Ju: “If it weren’t for me, Fat Orange wouldn’t have lost it!”
Ju’s mother: “Huh!?”
Grandma Ju: “I don’t know how Fat Orange is doing now. Is there a good family to take him (it) in?”
Ju Zhi: "Mom, I think grandma is confused again..."
Ju’s mother: “Don’t talk too much!!”
Ju's mother looked at her mother who looked sad and listened to her mother's words of self-blame.
There are actually two versions of what my mother said about the 'lost fat orange', both of which were nonsense that my mother suddenly started saying in recent years.
The first one was a fat orange cat that was raised in the family in the early years. It was famous for its ability to catch mice. Later, a neighbor came to my mother's house to borrow the cat when there were mice in the house. As a result, the orange cat got lost and was never seen again.
Never came back.
The second one refers to "Ju Miao", which is Ju Zhi's biological brother. At that time, Ju's mother and her family were still living together with Grandma Ju. In the year when Ju's mother was pregnant with Ju Pheasant, she was sent to the hospital near the time of delivery.
When I went to the city hospital to wait for the birth, Ju's father naturally had to go there to accompany his wife, and Ju Miao was left to Grandma Ju to take care of her. I didn't expect that one day when Grandma Ju was taking her grandson Ju Miao out for a walk, a strange woman suddenly ran over and said that she was
The neighbor next door who was visiting relatives just found out that Grandpa Ju had fainted at home, so he hurried over to report the news. Grandma Ju was so anxious that she didn’t think much about it. While rushing back, she forgot to take care of Ju Miao beside her.
After all, Ju Miao is already 6 years old and can already walk and jump on her own. She thought that Ju Miao would follow her home, but when she got home, she found that Grandpa Ju had not fainted at all, but was sunbathing in the yard. At this time
Only then did she realize that Ju Miao was not with her, so she mobilized the whole village to look for the child, but ultimately failed to find it. Grandma Ju blamed herself very much for this...
Every time I hear my mother talk about this matter, I can see her solemn expression full of self-blame. Ju's mother has no choice but to persuade her many times that these things have never happened, maybe it's just
Grandma Ju had a dream, and she even brought Ju Miao over to show it to Grandma Ju. But after Grandma Ju saw Ju Miao, she blamed herself even more. She kept apologizing to her grandson, saying that she had not taken good care of him back then.
I still feel very guilty,
Ju Miao was also confused.
Ju’s mother continued to talk to her mother, but Ju Zhi was a lively girl. Through the window, she saw a few familiar friends outside looking at her, so she found an opportunity and ran out of the house to talk to them.
played.
Soon Ju Pheasant met several friends. There were six people in total, two boys and four girls. Among the two boys, the tall and thin one was called Slender Monkey, the one with a little hunchback was called Camel, and the three girls
Among them, those with pockmarked faces are called confident girls, those who are a little fat and clumsy are called pig girls, and those with awkward personalities are called weird girls.
They are all around 16 years old. Because Ju Fei grew up in the city, her clothes are very different from those of the girls in the village. In addition, she does not have to do farm work, and her skin is not as rough and dark as theirs.
Her appearance is outstanding, which makes several little girls envious of her. They feel that she is as beautiful as a little princess. The two boys have also reached the age of being attracted to the opposite sex. Although they still dare not express anything to Ju Fei,
But I still like talking to her, and I can't help but stare at Ju Zhi's pretty face.
Sister Confidence: "Orange, welcome home"
Ju Pheasant: "Thank you"
Slender Monkey: "Orange, I haven't seen you for two months, you seem to have become more beautiful."
Interjected hastily.
Weird girl: "We are not blind, so you need to tell us!"
He glared at the thin monkey.
Pig Girl: "Orange, your dress is so pretty"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched Ju Zhi's blue pleated skirt. He felt that the fabric of this skirt was much better than the one he was wearing.
Weird girl: "Don't touch it blindly. You can't afford to pay if it's damaged. You'll have to sell your favorite little duck then!"
Hearing what the weird girl said, Piggy Girl quickly retracted her hand and looked at Ju Pheasant timidly, her eyes full of apologies.
Ju Zhi: "It doesn't matter. This skirt is not that weak and it's not expensive either. Don't worry about it."
Hearing what Ju Zhi said, Zhu Zhumei forced out an apologetic smile.
Camel: "Hey, Slim Monkey, it's rare for everyone to get together, let's go explore the strange cave together!"
Sister Confidence: “This is a good idea”
Ju Pheasant: "Strange cave?"
Thin Monkey: "That's right! It's the sinkhole we often went to when we were kids. Recently, when we went to play, we accidentally discovered a strange cave that we had never found before. Last time the three of us went there, we were a little scared halfway there.
I got lost and ran away. Let’s go there again this time with food, candles and flashlights. It’s fun.”
Ju Zhi was originally a playful person. When he heard that he could go on an adventure, he immediately became interested and nodded in agreement to go. At this moment, the Pig Girl beside him suddenly spoke up.
Pig Girl: "Orange, I heard from the adults in the village that the sinkhole is not clean. Let's not go there and just play around here."
Weird girl: "You are the only one who talks a lot! You are the only one who is timid. Everyone says to go, so why don't you go?"
Thin Monkey: "Don't worry, Orange. Let's go during the day. There's nothing to be afraid of. Even if there is anything, I have a brother! I'll protect you."
Ju Zhi didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hide his embarrassment with a smile.
Camel: "You don't have to be afraid of Orange. Even if you are worried about Slim Monkey, you still have me!"
Weird girl: "Annoying camel! You are the only one who insists on exploring. If the cave collapses, you will be the first to be killed."
Everyone knew the character of the weird girl, so they didn’t say anything else. Instead, they agreed to go home for dinner first, and then bring their things and set off on time at 1pm. In this way, the children went home to eat. Ju Pheasant also returned.
At her grandma's house, she helped her mother make lunch together. After all, she hadn't had a meal with her grandma for a long time. Ju Zhi seemed particularly happy. He didn't know whether he was happy because he saw his grandma or because he was going to explore in the afternoon...
At this time, Ling Xiaohan's house was in the urban garden in the north of Chidori City, because his sister and mother were out shopping, but his father was working overtime on the weekend. He was the only one at home, and Ling Xiaohan, who was too lazy to cook, suddenly wanted to eat the hollow noodles from the Western restaurant on the corner.
After eating steak, I checked the food delivery app and found that one of their set meals has been very popular recently. The filet mignon is paired with spaghetti and fruit and vegetable salad set. Ling Xiaohan touched his hungry stomach and his eyes with his hands.
As soon as the plan came to his mind, Ling Xiaohan opened his WeChat address book and found the meal ticket "Licking Dog 28 years old with a monthly salary of 5,000".
'Good morning, my dear, what are you busy with?'
Ling Xiaohan's message was sent.
'Hanhan? Aren't you angry with me? I've been sending you messages these days. I must have disturbed you. I'm really sorry. I miss you so much, so I couldn't help but text you.
You sent the message.'
Replying to messages in seconds is either a licking dog or a lover!
'I understand you, I'm not angry with you at all, and I haven't eaten for a day, so I really don't have the energy to be angry with you.'
By the way, he also made an aggrieved expression.
‘Why don’t you eat well, Hanhan? I will feel very sad if you do this’
Licking Dog immediately fell into the role.
'I've been thinking about you and me these past few days. I always feel so stressed, so I have no appetite...'
A good hunter always disguises himself as the prey and then waits for the real prey to take the bait.
'What? Have you been thinking about me? So what can I do for you? By the way, if there is anything you particularly want to eat now, tell me! I will ask for leave to buy it for you!'
Licking Dog has deeply integrated into his own role.
'What do you want to eat? Let me think about it. I thought of it. There is a Western restaurant on the corner of my street. They recently launched a 298 set meal. I really want to try it, but it is a bit expensive...'
When you see a fish taking the bait, you immediately close your rod.
'Wait for me! I'll be there in 20 minutes.'
Ling Xiaohan looked at the screen and couldn't help but let out a proud laugh. Based on past experience, this infatuated young man must have taken a leave from the company and took a taxi to buy a set meal for himself. Although Ling Xiaohan's family background was relatively poor.
Ju Miao is a little worse, but at least she is from a well-off family. Eating expensive takeaways like this once in a while is not a problem, but... the meaning of what you buy and what others buy for you are different. In Ling Xiaohan's opinion,
Come on, when a boy buys him a gift or treats him to a meal in order to please him, it is not because he is infatuated or nice, but because he is charming enough, so whether it is a gift or a meal, it is his spoils and he deserves it.
This kind of thinking will not only prevent you from feeling indebted for receiving benefits from others, but will also make you feel that you are born to be a princess, and a princess should enjoy the treatment like the stars holding the moon.
Soon it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon. At the entrance of the settlement village, six children who looked like high school students had gathered. As the captain, Shouhou led the team straight to the ruins of the sinkhole. Several people brought umbrellas and flashlights as agreed.
, candle lighters, and bread and chocolate, the group walked in the forest, feeling relaxed as if on an outing. The four little girls chatted while walking. Except for the weird girl who occasionally said something that made everyone embarrassed, the other three people chatted.
I was very happy, and the two boys were holding wooden sticks they picked up from nowhere as emergency weapons. They were discussing how to set up the action route after arriving at the adventure cave, because the last time they went
I discovered that there were three or four passages with unknown directions in the cave. In the dense forest with few people, it became extremely quiet at this time. Fortunately, it was not so scary during the day, and there were only a few dark clouds drifting over the mountain.
Pig Girl: "It won't really rain, right?"
He suddenly spoke.
Sister Confidence: "What are you afraid of? We have to bring an umbrella, but it's me. I'm the smartest. I know it's going to rain."
Weird Girl: “It’s raining just because you brought an umbrella!”
Sister Confidence: "If you say less, we won't treat you as a mute!"
Ju Zhi couldn't help laughing when he heard their conversation, and Piggy Girl also laughed after hearing this. Only Sister Confidence looked at Weird Girl with a look of disgust.
Not long after, the six people came to the top of the sinkhole. Looking down from the cliff, it was still very high, about as high as two or three stories. Slender Monkey led the team to find a gentle slope and walked down. Maybe a few people were focused on it.
I want to explore the cave,
No one noticed the strange flower in the middle of the ruins. The thin monkey led the way, and the five people lined up and followed closely behind, heading towards the entrance of the cave. The entrance was probably a little smaller than an ordinary security door.
, you need to enter sideways. After entering the cave, the space begins to become spacious. After walking about 20 meters further in, the width of the cave can probably allow two people to walk side by side. At this time, Pig Girl was walking at the end of the team.
He and the weird girl were a little scared and hurriedly asked everyone to walk slower. He couldn't keep up. The thin monkey looked back at them impatiently and let the camel break. This made the boys at the beginning and end of the team defensive, and the girls walked in
I felt more at ease in the middle. This proposal was immediately agreed by all the girls, and they all gave Shouhou a thumbs up and praised him for his thoughtfulness. Shouhou saw that even Ju Pheasant praised him, and he blushed unconsciously. That's it.
When everyone walked about 100 meters deeper into the cave, the light here gradually dimmed. At this time, there were four flashlights in the team, but the thin monkey asked that only two be turned on at the same time, and the other two were for emergency use.
.The walls and floor inside the cave are made of large pieces of bluestone, which feel a little cold to the touch. After walking about 150 meters further, everyone came to a spacious hall, about 20 square meters in size. There are three lanes here.
When several people saw the fork in the road, they couldn't help but get excited and began to discuss which path to take to explore.
Sister Confidence: "Do you still have to choose? Of course you have to take the left one. You can see that this door is higher than the other two, which means this hole must be the most special!"
Pig Girl: "How about we take the middle road? I always feel that the side door is not good, how evil..."
Thin Monkey: "Orange, which way do you want to go?"
Orange was suddenly asked, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer, so he had to smile to cover up his confusion.
When the thin monkey saw Ju Pheasant smiling so beautifully, he also started to giggle.
In the end, everyone decided to take the path on the left. After deciding on the route, they no longer hesitated and walked towards the left door. Indeed, this door was much wider than the other two. Soon everyone stepped into the left door.
On the side of the cave, just when Ju Zhi stepped into the stone door with one foot, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind, and then a familiar picture of the stone door appeared in his mind, but he had not had time to think about the stone door.
Wherever they came from, all the pictures disappeared in their minds immediately. A moment of hesitation made Ju Pheasant stop. The people behind him did not expect that Ju Pheasants would suddenly stop moving forward, and suddenly collided with Ju Pheasants.
Ju Pheasant instinctively looked back and found that it was a camel. Ju Pheasant apologized quickly. Camel lowered his head and said nothing. Ju Pheasant turned around and continued to move forward, but at the moment of the collision, Ju Pheasant felt a hand touching him.
Although it was only for a moment, Ju Zhi felt that this was all his own problem. If he hadn't stopped suddenly, such a thing would not have happened. Ju Zhi did not pay too much attention to this matter and just continued to move forward.
As he walked, he was thinking about the appearance of the stone gate just now. Suddenly Ju Pheasant remembered that the stone gate looked a bit like the stone gate on the right side of the fork in the road just now. Just when Ju Pheasant was thinking about these things, he was surprised to see a
The hand was gently placed on his hip, and it was completely different from the accidental touch just now. This time he touched it with his hand very dishonestly. Ju Zhi couldn't believe that this was true. As he slowed down,
The strength of that hand also changed, from being cautious at the beginning to very boldly kneading, and just touching it boldly through the pleated skirt, Ju Fei turned around and looked at the camel behind him.
He proudly touched Ju Zhi's butt while looking at the snow-white calves and laughing.
Ju Zhi: "Hey! Do you know what you are doing?"
Hearing Ju Zhi's angry question, Luo Tuo froze for a moment and hurriedly let go of his hand. Then he didn't dare to raise his head and stood there without daring to move. The group heard that Ju Zhi's tone was unusual.
, they all looked over, but for a moment they didn’t know what was going on.
Ju Pheasant: "Forget it, I'll go to the back and you go to the front."
The camel lowered his head and walked to the front row. The thin monkey looked at him and wondered what he had just done to make Ju Pheasant so angry.
After what happened just now, Ju Zhi suddenly lost interest in exploring. Although he had a boyfriend, he had always had a limited relationship. At most, he only held hands when no one was around, and never even kissed.
Not to mention other things, but just now, being molested by such a boy that he didn't like at all, he felt very aggrieved. Ju Zhi lowered his head and walked forward, not caring about the surrounding environment, just walking like this.
Ah, let’s go. I don’t know how long we have been walking. Ju Zhi only felt that his feet hurt a little. When Ju Zhi squatted down to look at his feet, he suddenly realized that he hadn’t heard his friends talking for a long time. Waiting for Ju Zhi
When I looked up again, there was no one in front of me.
Ju Pheasant: "Hey! Where are the people?"
Ju Zhi stayed there for a moment, and then Ju Zhi took a closer look at the space he was in. There were no people in front and behind him. Looking behind him, it was pitch black, and he could no longer see the way he came.
Looking ahead, the whole area was dark. Ju Zhi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and wanted to ask for help, but found that the mobile phone had no signal at all. What made Ju Zhi feel even more incredible was that he obviously did not bring any lighting around him, but
You can see light about three feet away around you. Although you don't know where the light comes from, it can help you see the path under your feet, which can make you feel at ease to a certain extent. Ju Fei told himself to do it
Calm down, it took about two minutes to sort out my emotions, and another three minutes to recall what had just happened...
