fake god

Monday morning, cloudy.

When Lu Ping opened the curtains in the morning, there was a drizzle of rain hitting the window, which wet the handful of japonica rice he had specially left for the wild birds on the window sill.

A tree was planted in the courtyard of the Lu family, and birds would occasionally stop here.Lu Ping likes small animals, but everyone in the family is busy and has no time to take care of cats and dogs. Lu Ping is very good at entertaining himself. From time to time, he sprinkles a handful of japonica rice left over from making cakes on the windowsill, which can attract some birds Come for food.

He swept the soaked japonica rice aside, grabbed new ones and put them on top. In order to prevent it from being wet by the rain, he covered the rice with a large coke bottle that he trimmed and processed, leaving only one for birds to come in and out. sip.It's a pity that the weather is bad, and the birds have not been seen for a long time.

The sun was hidden behind the clouds, it was not very bright, and Mother Lu was already busy in the yard.

Lu Ping supported the window frame with both hands, poked his head out of the window, and asked, "Mom, it's raining, are you still open today?"

"I didn't check the weather forecast yesterday," Mother Lu said helplessly. "Your dad and I have been busy all morning. The rice cakes are all ready. If we don't hurry up and sell them, they will go bad."

Lu Ping stretched out his hand out of the window to test the size of the raindrops.Fortunately, the rain was not too heavy, and the glass cover and canopy were installed on my mother's tricycle, so the rain of this size did not affect it.

"I'll go with you," Lu Ping said.

"No need." Mother Lu waved her hand, "Is your injury healed? Besides, it's raining today. There must not be many people selling the stall. It's estimated that it will be sold out in more than an hour. You pack up and go to school."

Jiaojiang City is near the sea, and it is always rainy all year round.

For locals, rainy days are more common than sunny days.Whenever a typhoon lands, there is heavy rain, and the wind blows, the whole city will suspend work and school.The roofs of some houses are not strong enough, and it is common for them to be overturned by typhoons.

When Lu Ping squeezed onto the bus, he happened to hear the two grandfathers sitting next to him chatting.

"The weather forecast said in the morning that a typhoon is approaching! It's already autumn, why is there another typhoon?"

"Typhoons are not uncommon in autumn. I called my daughter. She lives in a high-rise in the city and has big windows. I asked her to pay attention."

"I don't know if I will hang it up. The last time I conducted rain and flood prevention drills for so long, my son is an auxiliary policeman. He worked hard for a week. As a result, there was heavy thunder and little rain, and the typhoon scattered directly on the sea!"

"It's better to break up, it's better to break up..."

The bus wobbled to No. [-] Middle School, and when Lu Ping jumped off the bus, it rained harder.

He rolled up his trousers to his knees, and put two plastic bags on his sneakers, and the plastic bags rattled as he walked.Ugly is a bit ugly, but this way the shoes and socks will not be wet.There are many boys who are dressed similarly to him, and the girls are more reserved. They carefully walk around the puddle with their umbrellas, which seriously slows down the speed of entering the school, causing a "big traffic jam" at the school gate.

After finally rushing into the teaching building, the crowd with umbrellas huddled together again.

The naughty boys turned into "knights" and used umbrellas as sabers. The dripping water drops on the umbrellas were imagined by them as blood dripping from the sword's edge.They used "swords" to stab me and I to stab you. Unfortunately, their confrontation did not last for a few rounds, and they were discovered by the teaching director, and they went to the office to write an inspection.

Lu Ping is holding a folding umbrella (not Aisha's, of course), an ordinary dark blue grid, and the ribs are light and durable. It is said that he is about the same age as Lu Ping.

The head teacher did not allow umbrellas to enter the class, so everyone put up the umbrellas and hung them in the corridor at the door of the class. The umbrellas of various colors were spread out, like blooming flowers.

When Lu Ping released the umbrella, Shen Yuze also arrived.

He brought a black umbrella with a straight handle. The umbrella has a wide surface and fine ribs. It looks very low-key at first glance, but when you open it, you will find that the Cayenne logo is printed in the middle of the umbrella, and the inside of the umbrella is still red!

Lu Ping: "...you are so coquettish."

Shen Yuze raised his eyebrows: "I'll give you a chance to repeat."

Lu Ping raised his head: "Master Shen, you have to teach some basics to show off your wealth. You even have a car logo printed on an umbrella. Are you afraid that others will not know how rich you are?"

Shen Yuze opened the umbrella without changing his face, and put it together with Lu Ping's old but useful old umbrella. "I take it casually in the car, and whether it has a logo or not does not affect it from the rain."

While the two were talking, Chen Miaomiao walked over with square steps with her head held high, and then propped up her umbrella with a clatter.

The entire surface of the umbrella is printed with classic brown and yellow checks. If you are familiar with luxury goods, you can recognize its brand at a glance.It's a pity that Lu Ping is a "native", what brown check and yellow check umbrella is no different from his blue check umbrella!

Seeing Chen Miaomiao swinging her bbr umbrella to the left and right, Lu Ping kindly asked, "Chen Miaomiao, can't you find a place to dry the umbrella? You can put it next to us for a squeeze!"

Shen Yuze calmly kicked his umbrella next to Lu Ping's umbrella, making the two umbrellas closer together, and said, "There's no room to squeeze here."

Lu Ping: "?"

Chen Miaomiao: "?"

In the end, Chen Miaomiao walked around the umbrella group and finally found a C position where she could display her bbr umbrella.

The three walked into the classroom.

It was clearly early in the morning, but the lights were turned on in the classroom.The sky outside the window was terribly cloudy, and the light rain gradually became heavier and kept falling.

Lu Ping and Shen Yuze returned to their seats. Seeing the heavy rain, Lu Ping was a little worried, so he called his mother and reminded her not to sell it and to go home early.

"Mom, a typhoon may be coming, you should go home quickly, close all the windows of your house, and push your car to the first floor."

"Don't worry, I'm already home, and I'm checking the doors and windows with your dad."

The conversation between the mother and the son is in the local dialect. The pitch is high and low, and there are many nasal sounds mixed in. It is like another language to the ears of northerners.

Shen Yuze couldn't understand, but he liked to hear Lu Ping chant in his native dialect.

After Lu Ping hung up the phone, Shen Yuze asked him what he had said to his mother.

Lu Ping: "Just tell her that a typhoon is coming, tell her to go home quickly, and don't leave the stall."

"...Typhoon?" Shen Yuze froze for a moment.For him who grew up in the northern plains, typhoon is a kind of weather that only exists in weather forecast. He looked at the cloudy clouds outside the window, "Is this a typhoon?"

"That's right!" Lu Ping nodded, "The typhoon warning was issued on the weekend, and there were discussions in the streets and alleys this morning. Didn't you pay attention?"

Shen Yuze did not pay attention.

Because this weekend, another typhoon swept his home—his mother, Deng Hong, was "going crazy" again.

The reason is very simple. After Deng Hong's investigation during this period, she discovered that the reason why her husband's lover Wang Shiya secretly returned to Jiaojiang was because Wang Shiya was pregnant and wanted to go back to her hometown to have a baby!

Eighteen years ago, Deng Hong became the third "Mrs. Shen" by virtue of her young body and amazing beauty.After so many years of marriage, although Shen Guoning was still fluttering colorful flags outside, no woman was able to step into the Shen family.

Deng Hong thought that she could have the last laugh and become the final winner, but she didn't expect that when her face was old, her husband had a new love again.

She frantically called her son who was far away in Jiaojiang.She obviously has a cold appearance and elegant temperament. Everyone who has seen her praises her as a fairy, but no one knows that this fairy can spit out the most vile curses.

"Wang Shiya's jerk, Shen Guoning is almost 70 years old. She has to take medicine every time she goes to bed. She is only in her 20s. Who knows what tricks she used to coax him to go to the hospital for sperm collection! I checked it out Yes, she failed several times in test tubes, this time she found a foreign doctor to do it, and managed to save it, and went back to her hometown to have an abortion..." Deng Hong was hysterical, "Do you think I don't know what she wants? Don't you just want to be Mrs. Shen!"

"Then give it to her." Shen Yuze interrupted his mother on the phone, "You can divorce Shen Guoning now, if she wants to be Mrs. Shen, let her do it."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Deng Hong roared, "Who is Mom doing this for? Mom is doing it for you! Do you know that when I married your father, he tampered with the prenuptial agreement, After I got divorced, I couldn’t get a single cent of the stock, I could only get alimony of tens of thousands of yuan a month and a villa!”

"... Tens of thousands of alimony and a villa are already more than many people here, not to mention the jewelry and antiques in your safe. As a gift from him, you can take them all away Yes." Shen Yuze pointed out, "Also, even if you don't get much property, as his legitimate child, I can get part of the real estate and equity when I become an adult. As long as you want, we can leave the Shen family and rely on ourselves Life."

Deng Hong was furious.She doesn't understand why her only son is not on her side!Now... Now he still wants her to divorce!So what is her contribution over the past ten years?Did she sacrifice her career, her beauty, her love, just to become a woman with alimony after divorce?

On the phone, Deng Hong turned to cursing his son with those obscenities.She and him were mother and son, and they should have been the two closest people in the world, but her words, like the storm of a typhoon passing through the border, pierced his heart mercilessly.

Throughout the weekend, Shen Yuze was tired of dealing with the "typhoon" at home, and naturally had no time to take care of the natural scene outside the window.

Now, Shen Yuze was gradually fascinated as he watched the wind and rain outside the classroom.

Lu Ping didn't notice Shen Yuze's expression, he looked out of the window with his chin in his hands, and murmured in a low voice: "I really like rain..."

"Why?" Shen Yuze asked.

"What's the reason?" Lu Ping said happily, "It's good when it rains."

Shen Yuze doesn't know what's good.On the day he was born, it rained extraordinarily hard.Deng Hong was frightened and gave birth prematurely. When the ambulance took her to the hospital, it was delayed due to heavy rain and traffic jams.Later, the doctor delivered him in an ambulance. Deng Hong suffered a great crime and did not want to look at the child at all. It was not until the day of the Hundred Days Banquet that Deng Hong reluctantly hugged him in front of the guests.

Of course Lu Ping would not know what Shen Yuze was thinking.

The boy's voice was joyful: "When I was young, I thought it was good to rain because as long as it rained, my parents would not have to go out of the stall. They could rest at home, chat with me, and play games with me; when I grow up, I still think it rains." Rain is good, but the reason is different.

If it's light rain, the rain is thin and cool when it falls on your body. You don't even need to hold an umbrella. Trouble, you have to wear raincoats and rain boots, but after the rain stops, the air is very fresh and you can see rainbows!By the way, I once saw a small tadpole in a puddle on the side of the road. I was afraid that it would die if the water evaporated, so I sent it back to the river. I felt that I had done a great deed. Sure enough, the results were good.Of course, my favorite is the typhoon!Because when the typhoon comes, there will be a typhoon holiday, so it’s so cool to lie at home and play with your mobile phone! "

Lu Ping listed all the advantages of rain in one breath. Following his narration, Shen Yuze seemed to really see a little boy, stepping on rain boots and carrying an umbrella, boldly crossing the rainbow in the puddle to help the little tadpole go home.

"But now, I have one more reason to like rain..." Lu Ping turned his head and winked at Shen Yuze.

Shen Yuze: "?"

"Because there is rain in your name. From now on, whether it is light rain or heavy rain, hail rain or typhoon, as long as there are raindrops from the sky, I will think of you!" After finishing speaking, the boy smiled shyly.

"..." Shen Yuze was speechless for a moment.

No one has ever told Shen Yuze that he likes his name, not even Shen Yuze himself.

He always felt that there was too much water in his name.The rain is the sky crying, and the lake is the accumulation of water into a swamp; when the water is full, it overflows, so his life is always full of mother's tears, and those damp, haze and wet water vapor.Those water stains were like tarsal maggots, enveloping him, entangled him, and penetrated into his soul and body.

"You like my name?" Shen Yuze's throat was dry.

"Yes." Lu Ping said, "I feel that your name is very poetic and picturesque, Yuze, falling rain is a lake, soaking everything... Hey! It's not like my name, it's too ordinary!"

Lu Ping and his younger sister's names together mean Ping An An. Although the meaning is very good, but when the word "Ping" hangs on his head, there is always a feeling of "this is also average, and that is also average".

Shen Yuze shook his head: "Who said your name is common? I really like your name."

Shen Yuze stretched out his finger and wrote stroke by stroke on the desk.

"Lu means 'land', and the character 'Lu' can be split into 'mountain' and 'soil'; Ping can refer to plains, and it can also mean that the road ahead is wide and smooth."

When the mountain is high enough, it can touch the loneliness of rain clouds.When there is enough soil, it can fill the emptiness of water.The road ahead is bumpy, if someone can walk with him, how lucky would it be?

……

The rain is getting heavier.From the light rain in the morning to the torrential rain at noon, it only took a few hours.

The rain was so heavy that many students didn't want to go to the canteen to eat in the rain. The small supermarket was crowded and everything on the shelves was robbed by everyone.

When everyone was eating bread and instant noodles in the classroom, someone noticed that Lu Ping and Shen Yuze sitting in the back row actually took out their lunch boxes and were eating Xiaozao!

Chen Miaomiao was shocked. Looking at the sandwich she had managed to grab in her hand, she suddenly felt that it didn't taste good.

She wandered to the last row, craned her neck to peek at the lunch boxes of the two of them.

At first glance, Lu Ping's dishes are relatively ordinary. He brought two home-cooked dishes, and the staple food was a few pieces of cake.

"Oh, Lu Ping, your family made wheat drum heads!" Chen Miaomiao was drooling.

Maigutou is a staple food in their local area. Simply put, it is a big pancake stuffed with dried plums and vegetables.Wheat flour is kneaded into a dough, with dried plums, pork, lard fat (this is essential for the soul), dried shrimp, chopped green onion, and some dried radish for those who are particular about it.After wrapping, roll it into a large cake with a diameter of [-] cm.Then place on a hot pan and cook slowly until golden brown on both sides.During the baking process, the gas in the cake is heated and expands, and it will slowly swell up. When it swells to the highest point, it can be out of the pan!

Divided with a knife while it is hot, the wheat drum head is like a balloon that has been punctured, and it quickly becomes flat again. Two thin layers of wheat cake skins are sandwiched with fresh and salty plum dried vegetables and pork filling, which is really hot on the tongue. Also reluctant to let go of the deliciousness.There is an old local saying, "thresh wheat to make a wheat drum, the wheat drum is big, the wheat drum is fragrant, make a wheat drum and give it to your mother", which is enough to prove how common it is.

Chen Miaomiao looked at Lu Ping helplessly, but Lu Ping still didn't understand what she meant, so he took the initiative to push the head of Maigu towards her, and said, "Would you like to try a piece?"

"Yes!" Chen Miaomiao immediately threw away the sandwich in her hand, raised her orchid finger and took a piece from Lu Ping's lunch box.

The wheat drum head just out of the pot is soft and loose, and the cooled wheat drum head is tough and fragrant. The filling inside does not need to be seasoned with salt, it is all due to the salty taste of dried plums.Every household has different methods of pickling plum dried vegetables, so the taste of Maigutou is also different.

Chen Miaomiao ate a piece whole, licked her fingers, still felt that it was not enough, and wanted to reach out to take more.It's a pity that before her fingers touched it, she saw a big hand with sharp bones stretching out from the side, directly pulling Lu Ping's lunch box in front of her, and the remaining few wheat drum heads all fell into his control.

Chen Miaomiao looked up along that hand, and saw the campus god Shen Yuze picking up a piece of wheat drum head with chopsticks, chewing slowly and savoring it carefully, as if tasting Michelin food.

Lu Ping: "...Sorry, Chen Miaomiao, why don't you try other dishes?"

"Ah, hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm actually not too hungry." Chen Miaomiao smiled awkwardly, "The wheat drum head you brought is really delicious, but why didn't you put shrimp skin in it?"

Lu Ping: "Oh, Shen Yuze can't eat shrimp, so I didn't let my mother let it go."

Chen Miaomiao: "..." Dare to Love is specially made for Young Master Shen!

——Sorry, she interrupted!

Chen Miaomiao was embarrassed to be a light bulb again, before she left, she looked curiously at Master Shen's lunch box.

Shen Yuze's lunch box has three layers. After opening, there are meat, vegetables and soup. One of the dishes is actually stewed pigtails with soybeans!The pigtail is cut into sections, each section is about a finger wide, which is just right for the entrance.

Shen Yuze naturally pushed the soybean stewed pigtails to Lu Ping. Lu Ping asked with a bitter face, "You really asked the chef to do it?"

"Do what you say." Shen Yuze replied, "Hey, I ate it all."

Chen Miaomiao at the side: "..."

She didn't get a loan this time, right?This is so real! !

……

Torrential rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in the afternoon, it was already dark outside the window, and it was obviously not the end of school time, but the sky was already the same as late at night.

This is a geography class, and the teacher "leveraged" on the stage to review the causes of typhoons for everyone.

"A low-pressure vortex that occurs on the tropical or subtropical ocean is called a tropical cyclone. When the central continuous wind speed is higher than level 12, it is called a typhoon. Typhoon is a dangerous meteorological disaster that often hits the southeastern coastal areas of my country. Every year July, August and September will usher in typhoon landfall, this time it is a relatively rare autumn typhoon..."

But in the whole class, no one's mind is on study.

The students who secretly brought their mobile phones have already read the news from the Internet: the typhoon that was originally expected to land tomorrow suddenly accelerated and hit the coastline.Jiaojiang City, as a coastal city, bears the brunt of the typhoon challenge.The sudden rain and strong wind disrupted everyone's plans. With such a heavy rain and such a dark day, how would they go home after school?

Lu Ping was also worried.His home is on the north bank, and now it is raining heavily and the waves are also strong. The ferry has stopped, and it is very likely that the bridge across the river will also be closed.

Just when people were panicking, suddenly, a bright blue lightning flashed across the sky, awakening the dark sky!

In the next second, a loud bang sounded from outside the window—boom! !

Deafening thunder exploded in the clouds, and at the same time, the eyes of all the students sitting in the class went dark, and the electric lights above their heads and the corridor lights in the corridor suddenly went out at the same time!

I don't know which class of students reacted first, and countless noisy shouts rang out in the teaching building.

"power cut!!"

"Long live! Power outage!!!"

"There is no class!!!"

"Typhoon holiday!!!!!!"

There was chaos inside and outside the class.Some threw books, some packed schoolbags, some used mobile phones for lighting, and some passed small flashlights to each other.The geography teacher stood on the podium, banging on the blackboard with a pointer, trying to calm everyone down as soon as possible.

But who will listen?

Please - there's a power outage! !Such a big excitement is enough for this group of high school students to have a good time.

There were boos one after another, and the students sitting by the window boldly pushed the window open a gap, but the rain and strong wind quickly poured in, making the curtains rattle.

"Ah, what a window to open!"

"Shut it up, shut it up!"

"No, it can't be closed, please come to someone to help!"

Another turmoil.

A drop of rain drifted in from the open window, carrying the wind, and fell on the two boys in the last row of the class.

Dark rainy days, dark corridors, dark classrooms.It was dark everywhere, and there was chaos everywhere.

Sheer darkness deprives the senses of sight.No one knew that in this darkness and noise, two heartbeats gradually converged.

The boy's icy fingertips quietly hooked the little finger of the boy beside him, rubbing it lightly.

"—Pingping, it's raining hard, and I'm a little scared. Can I hold your hand?"
