Huge crowd

Gu Yuxie went back to her room and took off her work shirt that was stained with sticky Coke stains and threw it into the washing machine. The frustration of being bullied by Lu Zheng for a month broke out all at once. fire.

He wiped the wet mirror, looked at the handsome face inside, felt a surge of depression in his heart, and then suppressed it, restraining himself not to go out and fight with Lu Zheng, after all, this guy is extremely delicate to the current Yunyun .

The land of Yunyun has always been in the government's land acquisition plan. Gu Yuxie's plan is to expand the densely forested riverside grove deep in Yunyun to build a corner of the wetland that meets the specifications, and use the ancient and famous trees in the garden, and The Institute of Agricultural Sciences worked together to make an ecological and environmental planning plan for "urban green lungs", so as to preserve Yunyun and this field.

But all this takes time.

At this time, Lu Zheng, who fell from the sky because of Cai Yiran and the magnolia tree, seemed to press the pause button for Yunyun.

Gu Yuxie has never been as careful as he is now. During the years he lived with the vegetation, he never and did not need to calculate anything.But now he wants to get rid of every plant and tree, and seek an absolutely ideal ending for Yunyun.

However, the ending and the process can only choose a rule that is loyal to the heart.

For some reason, after Lu Zheng appeared, they fell into a trap of chasing each other, neither chasing each other, nor staying behind, and it seemed natural for you to advance and retreat.

what a strange feeling...

"I don't know who is taking advantage of whom..." Gu Yuxie lowered his head and muttered to himself, supporting the tiles in the shower room with one hand, and turned on the shower faucet.

"Wow—"

The water vapor in the bathroom quickly swelled, and the warm water ran across the smooth and lean back. Gu Yuxie was just halfway through the shower when the water output from the shower faucet suddenly weakened.

"?" Gu Yuxie pressed the faucet, the shower struggled twice, and soon stopped the water.

With wet hair on his head, he touched the mobile phone on the table, lowered his head, opened the address book and swipe to find the repairman "Master Lu" in the park. Gu Yuxie didn't pay attention to the person's entry, and dialed the phone directly.

When the phone was connected, Gu Yuxie said: "My bathroom shower faucet seems to be broken, let's fix it." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

5 minute later.

Gu Yuxie just put on his outer pants in the misty shower room, when he looked up, he saw Lu Zheng standing at the door of the bathroom holding a toolbox.

"…………"

Lu Zheng wrote all over his face, "I'm here, I'm here, I'm here with a toolbox to apologize."

"You..." Gu Yuxie hurriedly grabbed a T-shirt, "Why are you here?"

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you ask me to fix the shower?"

Gu Yuxie raised his forehead: "I'm looking for the repairman in our garden!"

"But you called me!" Lu Zheng dug out the screwdriver and wrench in the toolbox and squeezed into the shower room.

Before Gu Yuxie could put on the clothes in his hand, the moment Lu Zheng came in, the shower room seemed extremely crowded.

Lu Zheng stared at Gu Yuxie's wet forehead hair and sexy eyes and lips through the damp water vapor, his eyes glanced down from time to time, swallowed secretly, and said, "You...you let the master come in without putting on your clothes ?”

Gu Yuxie rolled his eyes at him, and put on a big white T-shirt: "That's my master who has worked here for more than ten years, and he is as familiar as a relative. They are all men who pay attention to something. Who knows who came in? you."

Lu Zheng was thinking, why am I not a man? !

He lowered his head and walked to the shower, and unscrewed the faucet bayonet.Gu Yuxie stood behind him with arms folded, and asked, "I never thought that Young Master Lu would repair dragon heads."

"will not."

"kindness?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the water jet in the shower got some kind of telepathy, it was very good for Young Master Lu, he didn't even touch it, healed himself and had a good time.

"Damn it!" Lu Zheng dropped the tools, and instinctively turned around to protect Gu Yuxie in his arms.

The water pressure seemed to be much higher than before, and the two people in the shower room were thoroughly drenched.Lu Zheng retracted his arms in the middle of the shower water pouring down from his pocket, and hugged Gu Yuxie a little tighter.

The hot water quickly steamed again, and the shower glass door gradually blurred. The two people hugging inside didn't know how to stretch their legs and move. They just looked at each other face to face. The water stains on Gu Yuxie's neckline slid all the way down. After soaking in water, it became transparent, revealing the faint outline of the body.

Just sneaking a peek, now Lu Zheng is an upright gentleman. In fact, Gu Yuxie's figure is really thin compared to Lu Zheng's. It's just a piece of snow-white ribs, which is nothing to look at. However, Lu Zheng feels that Gu Yuxie under the steam The water is lingering, and it is so white that it shines, making people want to stick to the warm heat and get closer.

Gu Yuxie didn't pay attention to Lu Zheng's thoughts of being in outer space. Seeing his face soaked like a dog, he curled his eyes and laughed for some reason.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Zheng stretched his shoulders to block the water.

"You..." Gu Yuxie raised his hand to wipe the water from Lu Zheng's face in a strange way, "You can be quite stupid sometimes."

Lu Zheng: "..."

For the first time, a pair of men's palms were pressed against Lu Zheng's cheeks. They were warm and even soft. Lu Zheng felt his blood pressure soar, making him feel suffocating.

Perhaps Gu Yuxie looked at him with a smile that looked particularly charming with water vapor in his eyes, Lu Zheng was trembling all over, and moved his cheeks to one side, as if he was going to touch Gu Yuxie's palm, making him feel more touch it.

Lu Zheng suddenly realized that he had some strange and dangerous thoughts and reactions. He tried to maintain his rationality, bowed slightly and hugged Gu Yuxie, turned around and left the shower room.

Lu Zheng was standing wet in the living room of Gu Yuxie's room, the gray plush carpet was soon covered with water stains.

Suddenly, an unknown object flew out of the room.

Lu Zheng hurriedly hugged it, and a flipper in the unknown object was almost stuffed into his mouth.

Gu Yuxie clapped his hands in fear and walked out: "The T-shirt may be a little too small, and the flip flops are too big for me to wear. You should fit, so just wear them first. Take off your clothes and shoes, and I'll wash them for you."

Lu Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "My mother is the only one who will wash my clothes." As he spoke, he raised his arms to change his clothes, wrapped himself into an upside-down triangle white rice dumpling, and took it out of his drenched trousers pocket. He took out a pack of cigarettes, looked around to find a fire, but found that Gu Yuxie's room was filled with tall and low green plants, arranged like a tropical rainforest.

"Your cigarette butts are dripping, why are you still smoking? My place is full of living creatures that can breathe." Gu Yuxie breathlessly said.

Lu Zheng smiled mischievously, and took the bent cigarette butt from his lips: "Okay, I can tell, they are both your big brother and second brother, but I am nothing, and my mother really bothers me to smoke. The consistent repressive attitude has remained consistent... Hey, but what's wrong with you raising leeks in your house?"

Gu Yuxie glanced at the pot of "leeks" in her room, and gritted her teeth to suppress the thought of beating him up.Gu Yuxie bent down to pick up the clothes that Lu Zheng took off on the carpet, turned around and went into the bathroom, and the voice came out mixed with steam: "Here are all the plants that were thrown away by friends' houses, and some of them seemed to have withered at that time. There is not a single branch left, but the ground withered, and the roots took root in the ground, and they were brought back to bask in the sun and rain, and after a winter, they came back to life, and some of them have been fine for more than ten years."

"So," Gu Yuxie came back after turning on the washing machine, "plants and flowers are like this, if you don't care about them, if you do wrong maintenance on them, as long as there is sunshine, water, and soil, they will absorb them by themselves. , grow by themselves, they can't speak, but they know how to forgive."

The warmth and coldness of the world, all phenomena in the world, those people or things that you think are numb and ignorant, you can actually feel them.

Lu Zheng asked: "Can you tell me about Chunlai? Although...Although Liuye told me not to ask you in a hurry...but I just want to ask, you and Liuye are the only parents in Yunyun who have never seen Chunlai. Does it matter?"

"His mother is gone," Gu Yuxie picked up the watering can and said while serving the lush turtle back and nandina bamboo that are as tall as a person, "His father's name is Shen Donghai, do you have any impression of this name?"

Lu Zheng frowned slightly: "I seem to have heard about it in some local news a few years ago."

"Well, the mentally ill prisoner in the Huanghualing burial case."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded: "..."

Gu Yuxie was bending over to wait for the flowers and plants by the window sill. The torrential rain outside the window started to subside. Gu Yuxie didn't speak for a while, but Lu Zheng watched him seriously and waited. He had never been so patient as before. Waited for something.

The rain stopped completely, the dark clouds cleared away, revealing half of the bright moon, the tangy fragrance floated into the room from the garden downstairs, and the clean night was revealed through the thin wooden shutters, Gu Yuxie's side face was lined become more pure.

"Chunlai's father is the mentally ill patient, and his mother has leg problems, but the miracle is that Chunlai didn't inherit any diseases," Gu Yuxie said while leaning on the window sill and looking at Lu Zheng, "But the children in the same village look down on him, It is said that he is a defective product of a fool and a cripple. Chunlai was bullied by them in the fields since he was a child. That year, a little fat man pushed Chunlai's head into a puddle on the field ridge and almost killed him. Chunlai's father happened to watch When they arrived, they frantically chased the little fat man up to the mound called Huanghualing by the side of the village, and accidentally killed him... The police took Lao Shen away and went through the judicial process, but in the end they only accepted him. The little fat man’s family relentlessly blocked Chunlai’s house and quarreled loudly. Whenever the two of them went out, someone would follow behind and throw stones and eggs, and chased them several times. For a long time , Chunlai's mother and Chunlai couldn't go anywhere, and they were about to run out of food. It was two good neighbors in China who saved them. One of them was Erpang, whom Chunlai often talked about. He really had a slight intellectual disability, but his father He works in a bank in the city, and his family's conditions are pretty good. No one dares to bully him. He secretly feeds Chunlai's family every day so that they don't starve to death. Even if there are only two oranges left in the house, he will give the biggest one to Chunlai. Do you think he is really stupid or fake..."

Lu Zheng asked: "Then the other neighbor is Liu Ye?"

Gu Yuxie nodded, and Lu Zheng also walked to the window sill, listening while looking at the garden after the rain and the path in front of the building.

"The wine cellars of Liuye's house and Chunlai's house are dug through. Every time Chunlai's house is surrounded by people, they go to Liuye's house to hide. His mother knows that if things go on like this, Chunlai will not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. I'm afraid He couldn't even get out of this village, so..." Gu Yuxie took a deep breath, and continued in a low voice, "His mother left the household registration book, all savings, adoption agreement, and Chunlai to Master Liu, and then hanged herself Being on the top of the mountain where the little fat man died is considered paying for that family's life."

Lu Zheng held his breath and stared blankly at Gu Yuxie.

"So fate is really playing tricks on people," Gu Yuxie sighed, "The sixth master was working in Yunyun at that time, and brought Chunlai to take care of him. The family finally stopped fighting, but Chunlai never dared to go out again. Don't look This child is still young, but actually knows everything, he knows that his mother's death is for him, and he is afraid to face anyone outside this door."

"Is it a stressful escape?" Lu Zhengdao, "I don't understand, but it sounds like a serious psychological problem. He cried a lot when he went out that day. I can feel the fear."

"Maybe, anyway, he is quite normal in the garden, but he just refuses to go out. Master Liu and I have tried all kinds of methods in the past two years, even if we have been tricked or coaxed, he can't go to school like this. Master will take turns teaching him," Gu Yuxie and Lu Zheng leaned on the window sill and looked out of the window together, and laughed softly, "It's not that I have no money or are stingy and refuse to send him to school."

Gu Yuxie spoke lightly, as if he was talking about a matter that has long since passed, but what he was understating was a lot of urgent problems that he couldn't solve.

Lu Zheng: "So you don't want to sell the garden, besides the reason you told me last time, it's also because of spring?"

"That's right, Master Liu and I don't know what to do. In the past two years, what we were most afraid of was that he would get sick. Fortunately, the child's body is fairly solid, and he usually catches a cold and has a fever, and soon he will be fine. , didn’t let us worry about how to take him to the hospital.”

Lu Zheng said: "He is always in the garden, no children to play with him, and no social interaction, won't he be lonely?"

Gu Yuxie smiled: "Maybe, adults will also be dazed and giggly like children, and children can also feel lonely like adults. He has named every flower in this garden, and it belongs to him." Friends, maybe flowers and plants can relieve his fear and discomfort of the outside world, just like people need a home of their own, and people who love each other to shield him from the discomfort brought by society. Looking for the feeling of extreme safety and comfort in freedom.”【1】

"Extremely safe, extremely comfortable?" Lu Zheng repeated.

"Yeah. But we all know that even if Yunyun Garden is always here, this kid can't stay here forever, he's so good, so healthy and cute..." Gu Yuxie suddenly laughed, and said to Lu Zheng, " look!"

Lu Zheng looked downstairs, and Xiao Chunlai put on a yellow raincoat and red rain boots, and was rampantly treading water on the path in front of the building.

Chunlai seemed to sense something, turned around and waved his hands to the person by the window of Xiaobailou, and shouted, "Lu Zheng! Come down quickly!"

Gu Yuxie elbowed him, Lu Zheng quickly dragged his slippers and went downstairs, the little yellow man was standing on the steps waiting for him.

"Brother Lu Zhengda," Chunlai stretched out his wet little hand from the sleeve of the yellow raincoat to hold Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng bent down, and Chunlai turned his head to look at Gu Yuxie who was following him down the stairs, with a small mouth Leaning into Lu Zheng's ear and whispering: "I caused you to be scolded by brother Xiaoyu, have you been feeling very uncomfortable these two days?"

Lu Zheng's heart suddenly softened.

Chunlai continued: "So I plan to tell you the secrets I know, to make you happy."

Lu Zheng suppressed a smile and asked, "What secret do you know?"

"There is a treasure in the pond on that road!" Chunlai pointed to the road outside the door, "I didn't even tell Brother Xiaoyu, I just told you."

"Really?" Lu Zheng said, "Then take me to have a look."

Chunlai led Luzheng to the door, walked a few steps along the path towards the garden, Chunlai pulled Luzheng to squat down.

In the poor Yunyun Garden, the road in front of the building is the only asphalt road that is relatively clean and tidy, but it is still paved with potholes. When it rains heavily, small irregular ponds will form here and there.

The silvery moonlight and the light of the street lamps are projected together in the shallow small pond. When adults walk, they will follow the instinct of observing the mirror reflection of the water surface and the diffuse reflection of the ground, and avoid the pond. A black ribbon, studded with shining gems, floated farther into the garden.

There are scattered spring rain ripples in that jewel, star-pointed petals and silver moonlight floating in it, and a gentle good night that spreads across the entire garden.
