camouflage

During the National Day, all schools are closed.

Ji Xi and the others did not go through the front door, but went through the back door, and by the way recognized where they would eat later.

Watching them climb over the wall one by one, Tang Jing only came up with two words to explain what was in her heart.

What the hell!

It's fucking amazing!

He climbed up and swallowed, he hadn't done such a thing blatantly before!

At most, it's fighting, climbing over the wall or something in broad daylight, mainly because they dare not, the security of their school is very safe, the fence is full of electric grids, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

When he jumped off the wall, he was still a little excited and a bit fucked up, but he will have something to brag about in the future. He is also the one who climbed over the wall in broad daylight. No matter what kind of wall he is, climbing over is a highlight of life.

Compared with Tang Jing's school, No. [-] Middle School is very big. It may be that the land in a small place is not valuable, the playground is big, and the basketball court is also big. Apart from using big to describe it, he hasn't thought of a suitable word yet.

His school is located in the city center, and every inch of land is very expensive. It is not easy to build a school, and the fees are high, but there are many resources.

The greening in No. [-] Middle School is very good. Although there is no artistic atmosphere, it is full of green.

Qi Xin acted as a tour guide, chattering in front of him, saying what he saw.

"That," he pointed at the school logo, "Our school badge is taken from the initials of Zaolin, isn't it beautiful!"

Tang Jing glanced curiously, she was very beautiful, holding a book by herself, with a golden ball on her head.

But does it have anything to do with their school name?He is not ashamed to ask.

Qi Xin: "It doesn't matter, I just want to tell you the name of our school, Zaolin Middle School, let's go!"

Tang Jing: "Then... what does this school badge mean?"

Qi Xin: "Reading is the most useful thing."

"Ah...haha, what a cold joke."

Ji Xi and the others stayed far away, and didn't want to know these two bastards.

In fact, the schools are all similar, except that the better ones look very high-end. If you don’t study hard, you will feel sorry for the construction of this school. The worse teachers will also teach people to feel that you should study hard to repay your alma mater and add to your alma mater. Add bricks and tiles, and dedicate a love.

After shopping around and seeing Qi Xin's ability to talk nonsense, they planned to go to dinner.

Backtrack.

Xing Yi was not at home, only her mother was alone, and she heard that she was going to see her grandparents, and she just came back after school started, Qi Xin lost her appetite all of a sudden.

Ji Xi and the others were happy.

Ordered the spiciest pot and got two dozen beers.

"Let's go play after eating!" Qi Xin suggested.

He always has a lot of ideas to kill time.

"It's okay, I still have a ball that has been dusty for many years." Qi Lei said, this place is the closest to his house, so he naturally stopped this guy without hesitation.

"Sanjin, bring me a bottle of milk, it's so hot." Tang Jing exhaled, almost to death.

"Ah... oh." Qi Xin didn't realize it all at once. The name Sanjin wasn't called by many people, so he didn't realize it for a while.

It was still taken by Ji Xi.

Taking a bottle of soy milk, Tang Jing drank it in one gulp, feeling much more comfortable.

"Three days, can you do it?"

what?

three days?

what?

Qi Xin said: "I have three golds, you three days, he three stones, just right."

Ji Xi couldn't help laughing, and the others reacted and choked.

Liu Yang is very thankful that his father didn't name him Liu Yan, otherwise he would be a third fire.

It took almost two hours to eat a meal, half of it was used to talk nonsense, and the remaining half was divided into two halves, one half was eaten, the other half was drunk, and it was over.

It was almost two o'clock when they came out, and the weather today was neither bad nor good, with the sun coming out and hiding in the clouds.

Several people stood at the entrance of the alley waiting for Qi Lei to go back to get the ball.

Tang Jing rubbed her belly, it was too spicy!So spicy it hurts my stomach.

"Actually, you are quite adaptable. I had diarrhea for a few days when I first came here, and I almost couldn't bear it and ran back." Ji Xi said.

"I thought you were superhuman! It turns out that there are times when you are vulnerable." Tang Jing teased him.

"Hey, by the way, brother Xi, where is your hometown, I haven't heard you mention it before." Qi Xin asked.

Meng Ke and the others also looked at him curiously.

Ji Xi chuckled: "I remember what I said, City A, your brains have been eaten by dogs, right?"

"Three days too?" Qi Xin asked.

Tang Jing, who won the nickname for three days, was very depressed, "Ji Xi and I grew up wearing a pair of underpants, so we naturally belong to the same place."

"Damn it, then... what are you doing here? Is there a treasure here? Want to develop it? Brother Xi, for the sake of my classmates, let me tell you something, I'll go and occupy a piece of land first."

Although Ji Xi mentioned City A before, everyone thought it was a joke, so what is City A?A symbol of a rich man, now two money jars have come to this corner, either with a bag in his mind or some major project to do.

Qi Xin wished to go back to the beginning, he would definitely not think that Ji Xi was easy to bully, and said viciously about him, he would definitely confess him and worship with three incense sticks every day!

"What do you think, you actually came to this remote place?" Meng Ke couldn't believe it.

"His brain is convulsed." Tang Jing answered for him.

"Tsk." Ji Xi made a gesture to hit him, "If you don't hit Fangjiewa for three days, why hasn't Qi Lei come?"

Knowing that he changed the subject, everyone didn't get entangled here. Anyway, they are all familiar with each other. Could it be because of this that there will be conflicts? It's not an idol drama.

Qi Lei's ball has indeed been covered in dust for many years, it is full of dust, and there is a leak.

Waiting for nothing, Tang Jing went to the commissary to buy a new one.

Knowing that he is rich and powerful, everyone is also welcome.

Water should be bought by Tang Jing, paper should be bought by Tang Jing, the best and the most expensive.

Although Tang Jing said, "I'm a guest from afar, why do you squeeze him?" But she was still very touched. They didn't change their attitude towards him because of his status. They didn't show mercy to those who should complain, and those who should help were kind help.

No wonder Ji Xi was able to stay.

There are very few people on the basketball court on weekends, and outsiders come in to play a couple of games.

Ji Xi and the others were six of them, exactly three against three.

Qi Xin fawned on Ji Xi early on, and pulled Meng Ke over by the way.

Tang Jing, Qi Lei, Liu Yang, a group of three.

After all, it is not a regular game, and they don't have so many rules.

Whichever team voted more would win, and the old man at the canteen came to serve as a referee for them when he had nothing to do. His only request was to sell water to him so that he could make some money.

Ji Xi can play basketball, but he seldom plays after coming here.

In fact, everyone's strength is not clear, Ji Xi knows that Qi Lei is very good at playing, and his tendons are not for nothing.

But the only downside is that he is very grumpy, and he has to maintain his literati temperament at all times, so he usually doesn't grab the ball or anything when he plays. Pitch him.

The old man blew his whistle and the game started.

Ji Xi got the penalty first. His jumping ability is good. The ball returned to him after a few turns. After throwing the ball, his team took the lead to get the three-pointer.

Shooting from outside the three-point line, everyone applauded.

"Boss, you are amazing!" Qi Xin is a half-baked player, and he is on par with the opponent's Qi Lei, so it is fair.

Ji Xi gave him a high five and started the next wave.

He knows Tang Jing's strength. When they were on the basketball team, Tang Jing was a small forward with strong offensive breakthroughs.

He is good at shooting inside the line, very accurate, and the three-point line is his weakness.

Ji Xi knew him, and Tang Jing knew him too.

Although Ji Xi is very strong in all aspects, he is not good at grabbing the ball. As long as the ball is out of his hands, whether he has two points or three points, there is nothing he can do.

Meng Ke and Liu Yang are quite normal, they can't play well.

After the first game, the Jixi team led by three points.

The sun didn't know when it came out, and there was no heat, but they were all sweating profusely, and drank the whole bottle of water in one go.

The old man cheerfully went to get a box.

"Fuck, it's so hot, it hasn't been this exciting for a long time." Qi Xin took off his coat and threw it on the lever, and sat down on the ground.

Ji Xi is not so casual, it may be because of his upbringing since he was a child, his family is very strict, eating, sitting, walking have to be taken care of, but later he may not be able to control it, so he just doesn't care.

But he somehow learned it.

He took off the red coat, leaving only a white T-shirt, and sat on the basketball hoop. Tang Jing sat next to him, very happy.

"It's much more comfortable. I've been suffocated to death these days."

"Did I put you in jail?" Ji Xi said.

"No, it's been a long time since I played with you like this, and I miss it."

"Are you still on the basketball team?"

"No, I'll quit after you leave. It's boring." Tang Jing took a sip of water and looked at the row of jujube trees opposite. The leaves were still there, but the fruit was gone.

Soon there will be no leaves left.

"Brother Xi, you guys still join the basketball team! Our school also has one, why don't we add one too?" Bagua Qixin is like a sparrow, as long as he's around, he won't be left alone.

"Forget it, I'm already a sophomore in high school, why should I join the basketball team?" Meng Ke waved his hand and refused, he didn't like to move.

"My girlfriend only has one semester, and I have to be with her. I don't have time to play basketball." Liu Yang said.

"..."

The audience rolled their eyes.

"Okay, just say something if you want to fight in the future, I will fight with you." Ji Xi said something that saved Qi Xin's little heart.

"Brother Xi, you are still welcome."

"You have changed a lot." Tang Jing said suddenly.

Ji Xi didn't return, the old man blew his whistle, and their second match began.

The old man may be bored, they have already emphasized that it is for fun, the old man doesn't care, he is very serious, no matter if it is a foul or a line, when he blows his whistle, they will subconsciously stop and listen to the training.

This old man should not have been a referee!

In fact, Ji Xi didn't know whether he had changed or not.

Like today, he actually said it without thinking too much about it. He also helped Shu Xia celebrate his birthday. At that time, he was thinking about how to celebrate his birthday, and he didn't even think about it.

What was he like before?

Ji Xi suddenly realized that the past was so far away that he almost forgot what he was like.

On the day Tang Jing left, Ji Xi suddenly asked him: "What was I like before?"

Tang Jing thought for a while: "You are arrogant and confident, and it is difficult to approach."

Tang Jing left, they played a game, ate hot pot in the evening, said goodbye, drank a lot of wine, and left in a minibus at noon on the [-]th.

Listening to Tang Jing's narration, he had to take a minibus to the city first, then go to the province, take a plane, and the driver came to pick him up before he could get home.

It sounds like a lot of twists and turns.

Ji Xi couldn't remember how he got here.

He leaned on the balcony to bask in the sun. For some reason, the sun here often favors the locals, making them tanned to a tan.

Ji Xi felt that he might have been dark for a while.

But Shu Xia may be born with it.

Ji Xi suddenly remembered how he got here.

Half a year ago, he had an unprecedented quarrel with his parents because Ji Xi almost took drugs.

Ji Liangzhan and Cai Jingyi didn't care about him clubbing, racing cars, playing games and skipping classes, but drugs were strictly controlled. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately left work and ran to his apartment, and taught him a lesson.

At that time, Ji Xi was sleeping drowsily. The night before, he went clubbing with some drinking and meat friends. They played late and were catching up on sleep.

At that time, he was like a hedgehog, covered in thorns, and immediately quarreled with his parents and almost did it.

His father was almost sent to the hospital by his anger, and his mother slapped him across the face.

Because he said: "Can you fucking stop beeping? I don't need you to take care of me."

I don't know if it was caused by the swear words, or it was caused by the sentence that you don't need to care about, Ji Xi couldn't judge it.

Strictly speaking, his family has very strict tutoring, what to eat, what to wear, what to say, what manners on any occasion, all have teachers to teach, and his parents take him to practice.

He was likable when he was a child, and when he grows up, he is handsome and annoying.

His mother said: "Okay, I don't care about you, you think you are Tianhuang Laozi! If you have the ability to go out on your own, don't use your family's money, don't let the teacher call every day to say that you are missing."

Then Ji Xi came here.

A small place with no name, you can't find it on the map.

The day he arrived was the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and school was about to start.

There is no New Year's flavor in big cities. No one has passed the Lunar New Year's Eve for a long time. Everyone is going to work and working.

Ji Xi pulled a suitcase and stood alone at the gate of the station.

I was confused for a while.

He took a plane, a train, a bus, a minibus, a tricycle, and a minibus before arriving in County L. He got on the wrong bus on the way, so he was a little worse than Tang Jing.

It was also at night when he arrived, and the station was different from the ones he had seen. It was very old, the floor was made of cement, the windows were latticed wooden windows, and there was a ticket office at the door. come out.

There was no one at the ticket office, the palm-sized area was pitch black, and the windows were welded with iron rods. At that time, he wondered if the conductors were in prison.

Weary, leaning against the pitch-black wall, you can’t see the true colors clearly. There are many advertisements posted on it, renting houses, buying houses, selling houses, recruiting jobs, opening discounts...

One layer after another, he boredly read it all over.

The station is very quiet, occasionally a few people pass by and disappear quickly.

Everyone in the car with him disappeared.

The security uncle looked at him and left without saying a word, locked the door, and his idea of ​​staying overnight at the station completely disappeared.

It's okay to wait.

Pulling a dusty suitcase, like a lost deer, strolling in the perilous primeval forest, listening to the scary voices of those old men and aunts.

"Do you want to take a taxi? Where are you going? 20 yuan, do you want to go? Or 15 yuan?"

"Young man, do you have any accommodation? There is hot water and air-conditioning. It costs 100 yuan a night. If you are late at night, why not?"

"..."

If it weren't for some odd and small shops on the side of the road, it said XX hotel, meals, accommodation, air conditioning, all inclusive.

Single bed, double room, multi-person bed... Ji Xi would think they were pyramid schemers.

He was dazzled by the sight. If those aunts had colorful silk scarves in their hands, they could go to work in the ancient Goulan courtyard.

But Ji Xi guessed that they should not be able to stop the guests, because it was too shabby and terrible.

In the end, I could only use my mobile phone to find a hotel.

After taking a taxi, Ji Xi wanted to sit in the taxi even though those uncles shouted ten yuan or five yuan, but he didn't have the guts. In a strange place, they still shouted something he couldn't hear. When he understands the dialect, his defensiveness rises to the max state.

He even took a few glances at the taxi to make sure he didn't look like a bad guy before he dared to go up.

The driver is a very simple middle-aged uncle, a little fat, but his clothes are much better than those outside, at least he is neat.

The driver said a few words to him, but seeing that Ji Xi didn't return, he didn't say anything more.

After delivering the person safely, he charged ten yuan and left.

Ji Xi looked at this hotel, which was called a hotel, but it was actually far away from the hotel. It was temporarily called a hotel. The location should be on the street, surrounded by shops, the road was wider, and there were more people.

This hotel should be minus one star. The single room is very small, smaller than his toilet, and the bed is also small. There is air conditioning, WiFi, hot water and breakfast.

Not bad.

After a tiring day, he didn't have the time to pick and choose, he didn't change his clothes, he locked the door and lay down on the bed, almost suffocated to death.

I don't know what the detergent used in the hotel is, the smell is very fascinating.

Relying on his last cleanliness obsession, he opened the suitcase, took out a down jacket and put it on, sprayed on perfume, and fell asleep.

He didn't wake up until the next afternoon, missing the hotel's free breakfast.

Going out for a walk alone, I read it several times at the entrance of the hotel, remembering the name of the hotel in my heart, lest I forget it and can't find it.

Kaiyuan Hotel, Kaiyuan Hotel...

The street is no better than at night, and even its true colors can be seen more clearly because of the daytime.

There are old and new, high and low houses, like a masterpiece of casual school.

The road surface seems to have been gnawed by mice, or whack-a-mole. There is a pit here, and there is a pit there. It always feels like one will crawl out in the next second.

He walked in fear, because it rained last night and the road was full of water, he was afraid that the next step would step on a landmine.

The environment is terrible.

This is Ji Xi's first impression of this place.

Not the natural environment, but the humanities.

Garbage can be seen everywhere, twisted wires, telephone poles covered with small advertisements, people spitting everywhere...

He sighed deeply, regretting his rebellion for the first time ever.

I turned around, but couldn't find anything to eat, and I was so hungry.

He squatted on a stone pier by the side of the road, watching takeaways with his mobile phone. There were very few shops on it, and the few scattered ones were still cake shops.

Passers-by occasionally glanced at him and hurried away.

He looked at the glass mirror of the children's clothing store opposite, and he realized why he was looking at him so much.

Grandma's gray hair, earrings, ripped pants, red down jacket with several straps, and black mask are really eye-catching.

Still handsome.

He admired himself rather narcissistically.

He continued to squat on the stone pier, unable to find anything to eat, and his stomach growled with hunger.

Those shops don't look very clean.

He didn't want to go to fast food restaurants, and he wasn't interested in home-cooked dishes at all.

When I was really hungry, I finally decided to ask the locals for help.

He observed it, and a girl in her 20s walked past, glanced at him shyly, and walked away at a faster speed.

The second one is an old man, who looks older than his grandfather, and must speak a bunch of dialects he doesn't understand.

The third one is an aunt, carrying a basket of vegetables, a housewife, who should seldom eat out.

The fourth is a couple, Ji Xi didn't dare to ask, it would be a disaster if the girl saw him and refused to let him go.

the fifth……

The tenth……

……

When No. 17, finally came a young one, pretty handsome, wearing a blue and white school uniform, looking very gentle student, judging from his height, he should be a high school student.

Ji Xi made up his mind and let him go.

He coughed twice, but failed to arouse the other party's idea, and walked towards him with some embarrassment. The man walked fast, and if it weren't for his long legs, he couldn't keep up.

"Hey, classmate, can I help you?" He tried to be as polite and friendly as possible and asked with a smile.

The man paused without looking at him, "What's the matter?"

"...Well, what's delicious nearby? I'm not very familiar with people from other places." Ji Xi tried to be as polite as possible, smiling.

The man didn't speak, maybe he was thinking.

Ji Xi didn't bother him. This person looked better up close than from a distance. He was very thin when viewed from a distance, but he was as tall as him up close. His skin was very white, which was very white compared to the people he met so far. Similar to his, with smooth hair and a pair of bulky glasses, he is a well-behaved student, the kind the teacher likes best.

The man pointed to the opposite side: "Go to the left on the opposite side for about 500 meters, there is a noodle shop, you can try it."

"Thank you. Excuse me..." Before he could finish his question, the man left in a hurry.Ji Xi tugged at the mask helplessly, and searched for the place he said.

He is not a road idiot, nor is he an accurate navigator. He can imagine the distance of 500 meters from the playground. He can't measure such a winding road.

I can only keep staring at the shop, where is there a noodle shop.

After walking for a few minutes, I finally saw a noodle restaurant. It was very clean, not many people, and the storefront was very large. Speaking of which, the stores here are very large, as if they don’t need money.

Old soup noodle restaurant.

It should be this one.

He went in with his hands in his hands, found a seat and sat down. The boss was a young man with an average appearance, but he had a sense of elegance, and he greeted the guests with a gentle voice.

"What to eat? It's on the wall, see what you want to eat?" There is no urging, no laziness, just a very moderate attitude.

Ji Xi raised the impression score by one point.

There are more than ten kinds on the wall, all of which are faces.

Ji Xi was dazzled by the sight, the boss may have seen his struggle, and kindly offered to help, "The best thing we sell here is sauerkraut beef noodles. The soup is boiled with medicinal materials, and big bones are added. Do you want spicy food?"

Ji Xi nodded, his taste is quite strong.

Finally, I ordered the sauerkraut beef noodles in red soup, the name of the bad street, Ji Xi wanted to see the difference from those.

Although the boss looks like a slow person, he cooks the noodles very fast.

Ji Xi took a breath first, it was very fragrant, with very few condiments, just a little green onion and coriander, he tasted it.

Make sure the man didn't lie to him.

It is delicious and smooth, especially the soup, which is rich, with a hint of herbal taste and fragrance.

Ji Xi spent the next few days in this noodle shop, relying on the noodles for a few days to survive.

until school starts.

He made some inquiries and found out that No. [-] Middle School was the worst, so he resolutely chose No. [-] Middle School and even rented an apartment next to it.

Then I met Qi Xin and the others, and we ate, fought, and played games together until now.

Ji Xi was a little distracted, took out his phone and clicked on Shu Xia's WeChat, the last message was from him.

Shu Xueba: There are still three sets of test papers to be done.

Shu Xueba is really always learning!

In fact, they have already met, it should be.

Ji Xi is not sure if it is him, it has been half a year.

What can I do after asking, thank him?

He withdrew, forget it, we got to know each other, anyway, they are already friends, the other is not important.

With a ding dong, Tang Jing sent a photo, which was a selfie, with a helpless expression.

Daughter: I'm changing trains.

Ji Xi: Be careful.

After thinking about it, I added another sentence, study hard.

Daughter: Heh [sneering], just take care of yourself, I'll wait for you at University B.

Ji Xi: Yes.

Putting the phone away, he sighed, Big B, Shu Xia also wants to go there, is it that good?

Still think about what to have for lunch!

……
