Bus stop.

"What exactly is a bus?" Yan Jiangxue asked enthusiastically: "I have never been on one in my life!"

"Neither have I." Lu Xuan smiled gently: "It used to be because it was too expensive. Now I'm thinking that it's better to bother Uncle Ao all the time. The sun is shining brightly today. I checked some guides and found out about this bus. Directly to Lower City.”

Xiao Yan took a bite of the hot roasted sweet potato and said with a smile:

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Seriously speaking, with our bodies, we have been immune to the cold and heat."

"What about walking?"

"No, I want to try!"

Not long after, the exquisite public hovercar stopped at the platform. Waves of air lifted up the girl's skirt, revealing two white and straight calves.

This is the most expensive ride. A regular bus only costs two yuan, but a floating car costs thirty, which is fifteen times more expensive.

For Xiao Luxuan in the past, this was a sky-high price, but now, it is really nothing.

The boys and girls boarded the car cautiously, and after paying with their mobile phones, they found an empty seat and sat down side by side.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, I have sent you the information you asked for. Remember to read it later!" Yan Jiangxue swung her feet and looked around curiously:

"By the way, Xiao Lu, after going to the shanty town, should we go directly to Mount Tai?"

"It's okay, but I think it's better to wait until the summer vacation in July. Or wait until Ji Boduan celebrates his birthday, otherwise it will be too hasty."

"I really want to go to that birthday party." Xiao Yan pouted: "He keeps calling you little brother, and you're not angry at all."

Lu Xuan chuckled:

"After all, I agreed to him. Ji Boduan is definitely going. His nature is not bad. He just likes to be in the limelight. This is the nature of young people."

"What about you?" Yan Jiangxue's big eyes flashed, the sun shone on her side through the car window, and her neck under the temples was white and red.

Lu Xuan thought seriously for a moment and then answered:

"I generally like it too, but in the past, I was too weak. Hiding and keeping a low profile were the best ways to protect myself."

"what about now?"

"It's different now. What happened in the shanty towns before made me understand a truth. After you become strong, you need to show your edge appropriately. Only in this way can you minimize trouble and let those who want to cause trouble retreat."

As he spoke, Lu Xuan's face turned slightly red.

When the girl listened to him, she was very serious and leaned very close. The light fragrance couldn't help but penetrate her nose. It smelled so good that the young man's heart trembled again and again.

Yan Jiangxue noticed this scene, smiled sweetly, and arched her eyebrows:

"Why are you blushing?"

"You smell good." Lu Xuan answered honestly.

"Really? What does it smell like?" Yan Jiangxue smiled even more cheerfully, her watery eyes extremely lively.

"It's a bit like the aroma of peach, but lighter and smells better."

Lu Xuan clumsily went up to sniff it, but Xiao Yan's face turned red this time.

"Oh, you are shameless!" Xiao Yan was ashamed and annoyed.

Lu Xuan was just silly and happy, scratching his head while enjoying himself:

"Xiao Yan, you are not as socially anxious as before!"

"I'm infected by your shamelessness!"

In the carriage, many middle-aged people with tired faces cast their gazes at the young girl. They seemed to be infected by the joy of the two, and the numbness on their faces disappeared a lot.

"Youth!" an uncle sighed deeply.

After all, it was a hover car, and it was extremely fast. It didn't take long to reach the Lower City.

After the two got off the bus, the platform was not far from the shantytown, and they could see it from a distance after taking a few steps.

"It's right in front." Lu Xuan smiled softly: "Look, isn't it very simple?"

Yan Jiangxue raised his eyes and looked over. The entrance to the shanty town was quite narrow. The road surface was not to mention the alloy bricks used in the upper city area. It was even worse than the cement floor in the lower city area. It was just the purest soil.

As soon as I walked to the entrance, I met Butcher Zheng who was pushing a cart and preparing to leave the stall with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Zheng!" Lu Xuan waved his hand and greeted loudly.

Butcher Zheng paused, and the smile on his face became brighter:

"It's Mr. Lu, who is this?"

When he saw Yan Jiangxue, he was obviously stunned, what a handsome girl!

Could it be

Butcher Zheng's eyes flickered back and forth on the young girl, and his smile became ambiguous.

"It's my friend Yan Jiangxue, the best kind!"

Yan Jiangxue whispered hello:

"Uncle Zheng Zheng."

She is still so afraid of strangers.

"Xiao, Xiao Yan, hello, hello, hello!" Butcher Zheng greeted hurriedly, a little in a hurry.

As he said that, he glanced at Lu Xuan ambiguously.

Lu Xuan was speechless, then changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, Uncle Zheng, is there anything festive recently? I just saw you smiling so happily."

"Hi!" Butcher Zheng became more energetic: "You weren't here just now, so it's normal that you don't know. It was the people from Longque Technology who came to inform us that they were planning to renovate our shanty town for the sake of city appearance and so on!"

He suddenly became excited:

"By then the wooden houses will be built into big houses. I heard that they will be expanded, roads will be paved, and squares will be built!"

"So good?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "Did Longque Technology say anything about the cemetery?"

"No, didn't the cemetery go to Sakata Heavy Industries? Longque Technology seems to be doing good deeds, right? Lao Chen and the others are still guessing whether it was Xiao Sang who contributed."

Lu Xuan thought for a moment, without thinking much, smiled and waved:

"Okay, I won't delay Uncle Zheng as you go out to the stall. I'll take Jiang Xue to go shopping."

"Okay!" Butcher Zheng pushed the cart and left with a smile.

After watching Butcher Zheng leave, Lu Xuan turned his head and smiled gently:

"Is that you, Xiao Yan?"

"What?" Yan Jiangxue pretended to be dumbfounded.

"You, you." Lu Xuan smiled happily: "Anyway, I thank you on behalf of the neighbors in the shanty town."

Two days ago, Lu Xuan saw Uncle Yan on the news. The words of the chairman of Longque Technology were very large, so he naturally guessed the root cause of the renovation of shantytowns.

Yan Jiangxue lowered her head in embarrassment:

"No, I just heard you say that life in the shanty towns was very difficult, and then I mentioned it to the director's uncle."

While talking, the two walked into the shanty town. The soil still smelled as sour as before, but the girl did not show any disgust at all. Instead, she looked around with curiosity on her face.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, did you grow up here?"

"Yes, I came here seven years ago. At that time, I was only nine years old."

"Nine years old. You must have been very cute when you were a child."

"No." Lu Xuan shook his head, a trace of recollection flashed across his face: "Seven years have passed in a flash."

He thought about a lot, including the catastrophic disaster seven years ago, the escape seven years ago, and the first murder seven years ago in order to protect himself.

Then Grandpa Chu takes him in, the dream begins, and he meets the teacher and Brother Zhang

Everything started seven years ago.

"Seven years have passed by so fast," he sighed again.

Xiao Yan looked at the young man quietly, his big eyes flashed with nostalgia, joy and reminiscence, and said softly:

"Yes, in just a blink of an eye, many years have passed."

"Seven years is actually not too long, right?"

"It's very long!"

The two of them strolled through the shanty towns, and Lu Xuan greeted one neighbor after another, proudly and happily introducing the girl next to him, and every neighbor would be surprised to say:

"What a pretty girl!"

They went to Lao Chen to buy sugar-fried chestnuts, to Lao Li to buy roasted sweet potatoes, to see the high walls built by Sakata Heavy Industries, to the brand-new cemetery, and to worship Old Chu's tomb.

Yan Jiangxue and Lu Xuan worshiped together, laying down chestnuts, sweet potatoes, a red apple, and a newly picked peach.

"Chu Tai." Yan Jiangxue looked at the tombstone and whispered softly and imperceptibly.

"It's a very familiar name."
