The Heartless Mage Chapter 198: All the way north
Wuxin can't always remember the name of the county where he is located. There was no such county at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and this piece of land was developed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The name of the county is very contemporary. It is either called unity or construction, and it may also be called mutual aid or friendship. Wuxin couldn't remember it, and I didn't bother to remember it, because it was going to start from the county railway station soon and continue to go north.
Take Su Tao into the only guest house in the county. Because the two of them have lived in the mountains for a long time, they almost forgot what kind of world the mountain is like. Stuttering, he recited a passage of Chairman Mao's quotations, and inadvertently showed all his proofs. After registering, he got a small room.
Su Tao has just determined that she has lice and is itching all over her head and body. It is not uncommon to have lice. All the children in the blind village have lice. Even if some of them are willing to pay attention to hygiene, they cannot escape the infection from the outside world. Su Tao huddled in the tent day and night, isolated from the world, thinking that she could get out of the mud without being stained, but she didn't expect to guard against it or not. When Wuxin picked up a **** from her scalp, she was startled at first, then blushed, her body was like an independent core, and she began to move around in the padded jacket shell.
Wu Xin was calm, didn't laugh at her, didn't comfort her, just went out and bought the powder and grate. Untying Su Tao's two big braids, he sat beside the bed, picked up a long lock of hair and slowly grate it again and again. Su Tao squatted on the ground with her back to him, and heard that she had lice, she itched from head to toe: "Wuxin, will I pass the lice to you too?"
Wuxin replied softly: "No, I never get lice and fleas."
Su Tao thought he had misunderstood his meaning: "No, lice and fleas are contagious."
Inadvertently, one eyebrow is twisted and the other is raised, because I know what to do, and I don't think lice are cute anyway. But there was no way, he had to take care of some things, such as warming Bai Liuli to prevent him from hibernating, such as treating the lice on Su Tao's body.
"I won't let you hold the night owl, but you will." He murmured to Su Tao: "The night owl is flying everywhere, do you know how dirty he will be? Maybe the lice came from him! "
The owl was squatting in the corner. He was sleepy at first, but when he heard Wuxin's anger on him, he opened one eye aggrievedly and gave him a secret look.
Su Tao is not afraid of being unintentional, and refuses to accept his words: "There is still a layer of quilt between me and the night owl, and I didn't directly hug him."
Unintentionally gritted her teeth and combed through Su Tao's hair: "The origin of that quilt is also unknown."
Su Tao hugged her knees and shook her head along with his grate: "You let me hug it first to warm my hands!"
Wanxin said "um": "I'm still stubborn."
Su Tao's scalp was hurt by him, and she grimaced: "I don't have a hard mouth."
Bai Liuli stuck out her head from Wuxin's neckline, tearing her mouth open and yawning. Originally, he was a wandering soul who was indifferent to hunger and exhaustion, but now that he has a snake body, he will inevitably be affected by the body. The drowsy pan on Wuxin's neck, he is not very interested in everything in the outside world, and the lazy one just wants to sleep. The owl in the corner shivered, and suddenly opened his eyes to look at him; and he slowly retracted into Wuxin's arms, rubbed his skin against his flesh and fell asleep again.
WuXin mixed with such a group of living creatures. He had no ambitions at first, and now he only has lice and worms in his eyes. On the surface, Su Tao has a lot in common with the big owl. He seems to have no temper. However, the big owl has his own ideas. Su Tao babbles like a cat, and is also very good at talking back. At the same time, he turned his face to look at him out of the corner of his eyes, afraid that he would be angry with what he said, which would really irritate him. After being born and dying outside for more than a year, she considers herself to be well-informed and has been very careful.
The two of them chewed their tongues for a long time indifferently, and finally stopped talking and focused on catching Su Tao's lice. Su Tao squatted firmly between his legs, and suddenly had an idea: "Wuxin, I'll cut my hair!"
Wuxin was affected by Bai Liuli, and her eyes were half-open and half-closed: "I cut it? It's a pity to cut such a long hair."
Su Tao raised her hand to draw a length under her ear: "It's just cut so long, it's not a pity, my hair grows fast."
Wanxin bent down and turned to look at Su Tao's silhouette: "Really cut? The little girl still looks good with long hair."
Su Tao turned to Wuxin and used her palm to put everything on the edge of her face: "I haven't cut my hair short yet, can I cut it here? Otherwise, let's keep a little bit longer. How long do you think it should be?"
The unintentional black eyeballs are half hidden behind the eyelids, and they turn wet and dull: "Cut it to the chin, you can wear it loose when the time comes, you can also braid it with sheep's horns, and you can often change the look. "
Su Tao smiled, the corners of her mouth curved upwards. Wuxin understands "beauty", and it is beauty in the traditional sense, which coincides with her family education. She felt more and more that Wuxin was compatible with herself, fit and new, because there was no man in the family all the year round, Wuxin fell from the sky, and played all the roles in front of her.
Wuxin found the waiter at the guest house and borrowed a pair of large scissors with sweet words. He approached Su Tao cautiously, and he cut Su Tao's hair as if she was shearing wool. I knew that Su Tao had a lot of hair, but I didn't expect that after eating wild animals for a winter, maybe the nutrition was sufficient, and the hair was unmanageable. Wuxin always has a plan for major events, but he is very serious about Su Tao's head. From noon to evening, the cut is shorter and shorter, and finally Su Tao feels that something is wrong. Before her earlobe was exposed, she got up and forcibly ran away.
I went to a bathroom with the powder that Wuxin bought for her, and she took a long bath in shame and shame. In the end, before it got dark, she returned to the guest house with Wuxin. The owl was standing on the edge of a broken table in the room, planning to go out hunting. Suddenly, he saw Su Tao come back with Wuxin's darkening. He opened his big searchlight-like eyes, and saw that Su Tao's head was particularly large, as if a big mushroom was picked on his thin neck. For the big owl, this is a monster image. Frightened, he took a small step sideways. He stepped on the air, and before he could spread his big wings, he had already fallen to the concrete floor with a thud.
There is no mirror in the room, so I turned on the light inadvertently and looked back, but I forcibly resisted not grinning at Su Tao. As if nothing had happened, he lowered his head and urged Su Tao to go to bed quickly. The beds were two single beds, and the bedding was cold, damp, and dirty, and one of the beds was disabled, with one leg staggered and unable to stand. Inadvertently let Su Tao sleep with himself in the same bed, and when Su Tao got into the bed first, he sat cross-legged with his back to Su Tao, and checked the clothes and trousers Su Tao had taken off, trying to get rid of the remaining lice.
Su Tao lay in the bed, tilted her head to look at his back, and saw that he was holding his shoulders and neck like a big monkey, and his arms and legs were very long. He doesn't wear well, because he doesn't know how to cherish clothes, so his image is more like a blind man than Su Tao. Although the clothes are bad, the body under the ragged winter clothes is better than anyone else. Su Tao was influenced by her mother, and her aesthetics were totally out of tune with the mainstream. In today's revolutionary era in full swing, she still firmly believes that a small white face is a beautiful man.
Su Tao scrutinized Wuxin for a long time, and then suddenly realized the problem: "Wuxin, why doesn't your hair always grow?"
Wuxin didn't look back, and was in a rush to die: "Everyone in my family is like this, and their hair grows slowly."
Su Tao lay on his side and looked at him: "It can't be long at all!"
Wu Xin didn't raise his eyes or open his eyes, he was about to bury his face in Su Tao's cotton crotch: "I was born like this, my hair and beard are not long, and the hair is light. Just right, I saved the money for a haircut."
Su Tao didn't have the heart to get to the bottom of him, so she smiled confusedly: "You don't need to buy a razor blade anymore."
Wanxin freed up a hand and stretched out the sleepy Bai Liuli from her arms: "I'm busy, you and Bai Niangzi are playing, you can sleep when you are tired, don't wait for me."
Su Tao picked up Bai Liuli, but she was still confused, but if she really wanted to ask her in detail, she didn't know where to start. Bai Liuli was shocked when she saw Su Tao's new hairstyle, thinking she saw the mushroom essence.
Wu Xin didn't say anything, but her heart was like a mirror, so she bit the bullet and stayed in the hostel for a full week. A week later, he saw that Su Tao's hair had grown and it didn't look like a mushroom, so he packed his luggage again and took Su Tao to the railway station in the county.
The train station is so small that passing trains only occasionally stop for a minute and a half. Wuxin and Su Tao put on spring clothes in advance, jumped on the train unreasonably, and rushed into the canned carriage. Su Tao was carrying a schoolbag, holding Wuxin in one hand and a net pocket in the other. Wuxin was carrying a rucksack in the back and a swaddle in the front, pulling Su Tao to open up the world in the carriage. He squeezed the train to squeeze out the experience. He acted like the wind, and his voice was loud. He scolded and walked all the way. He stepped on all the things that blocked the way. He Su Tao's back scolded: "These two things are so **** immoral!"
The terminal station of the train is Jilin City. Wuxin and Su Tao lived in Jilin City for half a month and enjoyed the beautiful local scenery. When they had had enough fun in Jilin City, they got on the train aimlessly and continued north. After walking through the cities one by one, they finally arrived in Harbin in June of this year.
Also the provincial capital, Harbin is much more peaceful than last year's Changchun. Wuxin and Su Tao wore neat single clothes and trousers. In addition to the big and small bags that never left, Su Tao had an extra iron kettle on his body; the mushroom head had been trimmed several times by Wuxin, but it looked like It's much more pleasing to the eye than before, but she has a row of bangs on her forehead, which makes her always look different. As for the big owl, because of its furry and hot body, it has completely lost its preferential treatment this summer. The baby swaddle he prepared for himself was also accidentally thrown at the train station.
Harbin Railway Station is a big station. Several trains from the south, east, and northwest arrive at the station together, and the exit is almost a crowd of people. Wuxin, as usual, dragged Su Tao through the thorns and charged out, Su Tao lowered his head like a cow, wishing that the long horns on his head would push out a road. With great effort, he squeezed out of the exit, and inadvertently found a corner to stand firm. Seeing Su Tao was there, Su Tao and his luggage were also there, and Bai Liuli in the luggage was even more. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and gave himself the back of his hand. Wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.
Before he wiped off the sweat, Su Tao looked into the distance and said, "Wuxin, look, there is a popsicle seller over there."
After saying this, she looked at Wuxin with her eyes, and didn't mention to eat popsicles, but she had already made a gesture of waiting. Wuxin tightened her backpack tightly, then picked up Su Tao's water bottle and took a gulp of tap water: "I didn't see it."
Su Tao is not particularly embarrassing in front of him. He didn't see it, so she stretched her finger to show him: "If only there was a cream ice cream."
Wu Xin is reluctant to spend money on cream ice cream, but some money has to be spent. Sixteen-year-old Su Tao could still be classified as a child, he didn't want a child to live without desires. Leading Su Tao to the popsicle cart in front, he talked to Su Tao as he walked. Su Tao looked up at him sideways: "You eat one too."
Wuxin shook his head: "I don't eat, I don't like to eat."
Su Tao told him: "If you don't like cream, just buy a mung bean popsicle. The mung bean popsicle is not greasy at all."
Wanxin replied without thinking: "I asked if there were any red beans. If there were red beans, I would buy one."
The two were gossiping in earnest, talking about the journey to the popsicle cart with relish. When he parked under the umbrella of the stroller, he inadvertently took out a small stack of neat change from his pocket. He was about to count out a few to buy ice cream, but before he could hand out the money, a **** slap suddenly appeared. He was born, and put a few dirty cents in front of the aunt at the back of the cart. Wuxin and Auntie were both startled, and at the same time found that the black slap was unique. It actually only had four fingers, and the tip of the little finger was gone.
Then, a familiar voice rang behind Wuxin, condescendingly: "The soldiers and the people are the foundation of victory, I want two mung bean popsicles!"
Wuxin and Su Tao turned their heads together, and looked up at a pretty dark face from a close distance. And Gu Ji looked down inexplicably in front of his eyes, and immediately shouted at Wuxin and Su Tao: "Yeah!"
Auntie was opening the box to get the ice lolly, but he shivered with his voice and complained furiously: "Why is this kid so rude? Buy an ice lolly to scare me twice!"
Gu Ji turned a deaf ear to the aunt's complaints, just took a step back and looked back as if asking for help. Wuxin and Su Tao followed his gaze and saw a young peasant-like young man squatting under the iron fence, rolling dry tobacco with a small strip of newspaper. After rolling up the cigarette and holding it in his mouth, he raised his head while reaching for it in his pocket. Yaoyao had a face-to-face with Wuxin, and he was obviously taken aback. But then he took off the cigarette and clipped it to his ear, he stood up with his old military uniform, and nodded weakly at Wuxin with a smile.
Inadvertently, without making a sound, I saw the little Dingmao lose a lot of weight. It used to be a white baby face, but now it's dirty and bells and whistles, and it has become a civet cat.
The aunt angrily shoved two mung bean popsicles directly into Gu Ji's face. Gu Ji took the popsicle and ran away, and went straight to the little Ding Mao like a bird in shock. Handing a mung bean popsicle to Xiao Ding Mao, he timidly shrank behind him, as if a big bear was hiding behind a small sapling.
Little Dingmao took a bite of the popsicle, with a faint smile on his face: "Wuxin, Qiaowo! We haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Then he quickly walked over to Wuxin while chomping on the popsicle. Wuxin looked at him up and down, and saw that he was thin and looked like a half-aged boy of fifteen or sixteen. His uniform was also dirty. Although he still wore a watch on his wrist, he was too poor to buy cigarettes.
Inadvertently, he looked at it blindly and said nothing, so the little Dingmao said first with a smile: "Hey, are you rich?"
Wuxin is very suspicious and doesn't understand Xiaodingmao's intention: "What are you doing? You don't mean to rob me, do you?"
Little Dingmao put the popsicle stick into his mouth, shut up and took down the last piece of brown ice: "What are you thinking? I think you still don't understand me."
Gu Ji ran up and brought another popsicle in front of him. It turned out that Gu Ji was just an errand runner, and the two popsicles belonged to Ding Mao alone. Wuxin took the opportunity to rush to ask: "Have you left Wenxian now?"
Xiao Dingmao waved his hand with the popsicle: "Don't mention Wenxian, I have nothing to do with there! Do you have money? I have food stamps. If you have money, let's make do with the next restaurant!"
