Proud Gu Mingyu

After all, the Wild Goose Pagoda is an ancient building in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it often needs maintenance.

The stairs in the tower are high and steep. Due to the particularity of ancient buildings, modern facilities are not available, and the required materials can only be moved up manually.

Ji Linyuan has been working part-time while studying to earn living expenses since he was in high school.

A poor dormitory student with a household registration in the countryside, and day students with a good family background in the county would disdain to play with Ji Linyuan. In this school, the children in the city and the children in the country are very different. They are like transparent people in the school, studying hard They have their share in getting scholarships, and they don't think about all kinds of fun activities.

For example, before Huobian, the entire campus voted for male gods and goddesses of all ages... Ji Linyuan really didn't know - if he knew, he would have gone to Gu Mingyu a long time ago.

However, Ji Linyuan didn't have time to hang out with them. The school's dormitory conditions were poor, and non-county residents were forced to pay fees. They paid the school's dormitory fee, but they had no way to live, so they had to rent a house outside.

Ji Linyuan could only study hard, get the highest scholarship and then apply for financial assistance for poor students, which reduced the accommodation and tuition fees.It’s just that this is not enough. The amount of food that boys in the developing period eat into their stomachs every day is amazing. Ji Linyuan’s food intake is even more terrifying. He is now 188cm tall and has a tendency to continue to grow. This is very rare in the south where the average male height is 170cm. .

In the beginning, Ji Linyuan was washing dishes in restaurants, but later I heard that being a porter gets paid quickly—usually the settlement is done immediately after moving.He took a towel and hung it around his neck, imitating those people who squatted at the gate of the station, and surrounded the cars when they saw passengers getting off. There are many businessmen who go to the province to buy goods. If you can't move it, you will hire a porter.The county also knows that this is the stronghold of porters, and they will come here to find someone in need.Some "strong people" work in groups of three or five, and buy large carts for moving people. The income is higher than moving loose goods, but that has formed a circle monopoly, and young people like Ji Linyuan can't squeeze in.

Ji Linyuan's life circle is very small, except for the teachers and classmates in the class, that is, the tenants in the shared house, he is a bit shy and rarely speaks to people he doesn't know well.When I first went there, I didn't know how to solicit business, so I just stood in front of people with a blushing face. Those who didn't know thought they were here to pick up their parents' children.

Finally, a customer took a fancy to him, thinking that he was clean and tall, thinking that he was stronger than those 50-[-]-year-old porters, but was robbed of the business by his peers, saying that he was young and unstable, and easily knocked things over Touched.

Gradually, Ji Linyuan also realized his faults, and later changed it, with a sweeter mouth and quicker movements.Knowing his own advantages, he specially brought his school uniform there, and didn't wear it on his body, only tied around his waist.The customer saw that a work-study student was from a key middle school. How could such a capable and sensible child not support him?

This time, it was a client that Ji Linyuan knew. He heard that the contractor here gave him a lot of money and a good time, so he introduced him.

This is the first time Ji Linyuan came to such a place after studying in the city for so many years. Looking down from the top of the tower, the scenery is really beautiful. It is only a 60-meter-high tower, and it is built on a mountain. Ji Linyuan stared at it with wide eyes. Looking down, I couldn't tell whether there were any people I knew among the men and women at the foot of the mountain.

The voice just now was like an illusion. He could only see the positions of a few people, and thus knew that they were fighting, and he didn't know anything else.

But think about it, the tower is so high, and the wind is so strong on the mountain, how can the sound at the foot of the mountain be transmitted to the top.

Ji Linyuan shook his head and laughed at himself in a daze, but he was just a boy who met once when he was young, how could he remember it for so many years, even Zhuo Lei has forgotten - I heard that Zhuo Lei's sister would send money to his mother every month , but never came again.Now Zhuo Lei only remembers how good his sister is, and every time he mentions it, he always mentions that there is a sister who is capable and grateful. He doesn't remember how she was tricked by her younger brother to beat her up.

Ji Linyuan: Huh, it seems that I was the one who tricked him out?Forget it's none of my business.

Ji Linyuan shrugged his shoulders. He looked down on the Zhuo family. The mother of the Zhuo family made clothes to support the two children. Although she was a bit mean, she was not a bad person.It’s just that Zhuo Lei’s mother works hard, and he still needs to learn everything from the children in the city. He needs the latest and best-looking schoolbags, and buys new stationery every year.Even though he lived very close to the school, his mother had to buy him a bicycle, and the repeater was not left behind, so Zhuo Hao followed his example.

If it wasn't for the neighbors who didn't look up and look down, he wouldn't be bothered with Zhuo Lei and Zhuo Hao. Zhuo Lei is also in the first year of No. [-] Middle School, and he is serious about his studies. It's the kind of peace of mind that he uses his mother and sister's money, and he still looks like it's a matter of course. It made Ji Linyuan feel sick.

However, although Ji Linyuan was disdainful in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface. Somehow, Zhuo Lei regarded him as his best friend.

Gu Mingyu didn't know that someone was thinking about him more than 100 meters away, and Zhou Zhi was not a fool. He couldn't fight back when two hit one, so he saw the neutral position, turned around, got up and ran.Zhou Zhi was on the track and field team at school, not to mention Gu Mingyu, even Zhou Cheng couldn't catch up with him, so he could only watch him run helplessly.

Seeing An Gao and An Gao with a confused expression on their faces, Gu Mingyu and Zhou Chengcheng were a little embarrassed.However, both of these two are careless, and they didn't take Zhou Zhi's words to heart. It's just that when such a thing happened, everyone didn't have the mood to play. Gao Minmin insisted on going to the Wild Goose Pagoda, but the three boys accompanied her to the top of the mountain. It was found that the temple was closed, and there was no staff at the door.

"What's wrong? Is it closed?"

"No way—it's rare to come out to play." Gao Minmin was very disappointed. No. [-] Middle School and No. [-] Middle School were not far away, but her parents were very strict, so it was difficult for her to go out on a date with her boyfriend like today. It was cut off as early as the incident in junior high school——Gao Minmin's mother later found Gu Mingyu and cried, berating him openly and secretly for not helping them pass on the love letter.Puppy love was indeed a serious problem at that time, and Gu Mingyu had no way to refute it, so he could only agree not to be a middleman anymore.

"It's okay, we will come again in the future, there are plenty of opportunities." An Jiaxuan comforted Gao Minmin like this.

"I can't say for sure what will happen in the future, maybe you will go with someone else. When you worship the Bodhisattva in the temple and go back and forth to the Lover's Bridge, you may have forgotten me." Gao Minmin pouted. Not happy, choosing this place was originally a very romantic thing, I didn't expect to go out today without looking at the almanac, and there were fights and the temple was closed.

An Jiaxuan couldn't laugh or cry, Gao Minmin was jealous.

Gu Mingyu walked around the gate of the temple, just in time to see someone coming out of the pagoda, Gu Mingyu waved to that person: "Hello, uncle, is the gate not open today?"

It was Ji Linyuan who came out of the tower. Because he had to carry lime, Ji Linyuan was afraid of soiling his school uniform, so he didn't tie his school uniform around his waist as usual, but borrowed a piece of canvas to cover his head.Lime is easy to raise dust, and sticks to his body when he sweats, making Ji Linyuan's whole body dirty. In addition, he is tall, and since his face cannot be seen, he looks like a dark-skinned adult.

"It's not open for inspection today." Being called Uncle Ji Linyuan was also unhappy, so he raised his head to look at the interrogator, wanting to see if the other party was tender.

Then Ji Linyuan was stunned, although he grew up a lot taller, but Ji Linyuan recognized Gu Mingyu at a glance, his eyes have not changed at all, they are exactly the same as three years ago.

Gu Mingyu didn't recognize Ji Linyuan, he was face blind and nearsighted, and because of the long time, he couldn't remember clearly what happened at that time, but he just felt that this person was younger than he imagined, so he nodded his thanks and told Zhou Cheng and the others Let's go back together.

Just as Ji Linyuan was about to call him to stop, he realized that he didn’t know his full name. It would be very abrupt to call him by a nickname. With this hesitation, he walked away. In a hurry, I chased him out.

"Student!" Ji Linyuan lifted the canvas over his head, stood on the top of the hill and shouted to the people below.The four people who were walking on the hillside turned their heads to look at him, seeing Gu Mingyu's beautiful eyes looking at him seriously, Ji Linyuan felt a little blushing, "That...you, do you remember me?"

The four of them glanced at each other, all of them looked puzzled, not knowing who he was asking.

Gu Mingyu asked with his eyes, and the other three shook their heads violently. Ji Linyuan's face is now covered in lime, and his dirty face can't be seen clearly. His body is full of tendons due to years of physical labor, and he looks like a migrant worker. How can I know such a person.

Seeing that person only looking at her, Gu Mingyu was surprised. After searching in her mind for a while, she shook her head at the other person's expectant eyes: "Sorry, you misidentified the person, I don't know you."

"This, that's it... Then, what's your name?" Ji Linyuan's face was full of disappointment, only thinking that he must ask for his name this time, but he didn't know that he would first ask people if they knew him, and then say that he didn't know Gu Mingyu's name , It seems that the brain is not clear, or it is simply a clumsy means of striking up a conversation.

Zhou Cheng immediately became vigilant, stared fiercely and said, "It's none of your business, I've already told you that I don't know you!"

Gu Mingyu smiled politely, but didn't answer, and followed Zhou Cheng and others to turn around and leave.

It was only after the people walked away that Ji Linyuan realized that his behavior seemed to be a little unreasonable. He stood still and looked at the backs of the few people, holding the corner of his mouth reluctantly, feeling a little sad in his heart.He thought that he didn't care, it was only because of a youthful obsession that he remembered it for so long, and he didn't have any plans or extravagant hopes for Gu Mingyu, not because he wanted to be friends with him, nor did he have any purpose, just... Just want to meet him.

However, when he found that Gu Mingyu had forgotten him, Ji Linyuan felt a pain in his heart, and wanted to run down to stop him, shaking his shoulders to remind him of the boy he threatened three years ago.

Ji Linyuan stood on the top of the mountain, watching Gu Mingyu's back getting farther and farther away, finally let out a sigh, turned and returned to the tower.

In fact, Ji Linyuan was just unlucky—worse than Gao Minmin, if it was normal, maybe Gu Mingyu would still be in the mood to ask a few more questions, and it wasn't too long ago, maybe he could remember it.But he has something on his mind today, so he has no time to pay attention to a stranger who suddenly ran over to strike up a conversation. If he hadn't felt sorry for Gao Minmin and An Jiaxuan, he and Zhou Chengcheng would have followed Zhou Zhi when he ran away just now—who knew that after Zhou Zhi returned home will say something.

And Ji Linyuan's appearance today did not leave any traces in his heart, like fallen leaves blown away by the wind, no one except the wind knew that it had come.

After leaving the temple and coming to the place where they parked at the foot of the mountain, Gao Minmin said a little strangely: "The man just now must have been a student, right? I heard his voice sounded like he was young, and he still called us classmates."

"I don't know." Zhou Cheng didn't have the heart to think too much, and Zhou Zhi was too hateful to have such an idea.

The four parted at this point, Gao Minmin and An Jiaxuan agreed to eat oden, Zhou Cheng and Gu Mingyu didn't want to go, so they went home directly.They thought they would be greeted by a storm, but when they got home, they found everything was calm and Zhou Zhi's bicycle was not there.

In the evening, when Zhou Cheng received a call from Zhou Zhi's parents looking for him, he realized that he had not returned to his home either.

"I really don't know where he went. My uncle and aunt actually said that there is no need to look for them, and their tone is weird... Speaking of which, I still don't know why Zhou Zhi dropped out of school. He is already in his third year of high school..." After dinner, Zhou Cheng They secretly asked Gu Mingyu out for a walk, and the two of them walked side by side on the path. It was already summer, and there was a lot of frogs singing in the pond, and occasionally there was the sound of fish jumping out of the water.

Gu Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Maybe—we can check it out."

"Huh? How to check?"

"Didn't Wenhong have a younger brother who also went to that school? Let him ask his younger brother, I think there must be something. The school may be suppressed, but the students should know." From Zhou Cheng's retelling of Zhou Zhi's words, it can be inferred that Zhou Zhi is very interested in The classmate has done such a thing, I'm afraid--more than once.
