Brick held the scarf in his hands, his hands trembling a little, perhaps he was thinking about the past again. -- --
"Wang Hao, please help me put it on." Brick said softly.
"It's not suitable to wear a scarf now." Since the snow, the weather has been getting warmer. I said, "You should keep it well." But Brick shook his head and said stubbornly, "Who says I can't wear a scarf when the weather is warm? I can wear it as long as I feel cold." I had no choice but to help Brick put it on. His simple appearance, rustic shoulder bag, and weird scarf made him look even more out of tune with others. But if Brick was the same as others, he would no longer be Brick.
I didn't expect that even though the seasons changed and time passed, the scarf on Brick's neck was never taken off.
“I’m sorry to ask you to come to Beiqi.” I said sincerely, “If it weren’t for me, this probably wouldn’t have happened.”
"No." Brick said, "I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Yang Mengying, and I never thought I would have tasted the sweetness of love - although, it didn't last long." Brick smiled bitterly, "It's enough for me to remember for a lifetime."
I exhaled and said, "Well, see you again if we are lucky enough." I looked at the four or five hundred students around me, picked up my luggage and walked out the door resolutely. "Brother Hao." Lei Yu suddenly called me again. I turned my head to look at him. Lei Yu handed me a piece of black steel pipe and said, "I don't know when I can see you again, but you conquered Beiqi with this thing. Why not take it back as a souvenir." I gave Zhuantou a scarf, and Lei Yu gave me a piece of steel pipe. This was a bit interesting.
I am not a hypocritical person, so I reached out and took it. It felt quite solid in my hand, and I couldn't help but recall those exciting days in Beiqi. I stuffed it into my luggage bag, said goodbye, and walked towards the door again. From today on, I will stay away from these people and Beiyuan City. The farther we walked, the people behind us still shouted: "Brother Hao, wait for you to come back!" But I said in my heart: "I won't come back. Really, I won't come back."
I arrived at the station and waited for a bus back to Dongguan Town. I felt drowsy in the bus. After all, I hadn't had a good rest for a long time. I slowly fell asleep in the bumpy bus. In my dream, there were swords and shadows, snow and red flowers. I don't know how long it took, but someone shook my arm. I woke up in a daze, and the ticket seller said, "Where are you going? Buy a ticket." I said, "Dongguan Town." I reached into my pocket, but it was empty. Then I remembered that I had given all my money to Liu Yanfu. I was so anxious that my face turned red. In fact, I already knew that I had no money, but I still pretended to search for it. It's really a penny that can make a hero fall.
"No money?" The conductor was a woman in her thirties with a sharp tongue. Her face changed and she said, "No wonder you are pretending to sleep here. If you don't have money, get off the bus!" She looked like the kind of person who would not give in to others' demands. But I was wrong in the first place. I blushed and said, "Auntie, I really forgot to bring money. I am a student of Beiyuan No. 7 Middle School and I am going back to Dongguan Town. How can I go back if you leave me on the road?" The conductor glared at her and said, "Why should I care about you? If you are like me, how can I make money from this bus?"
I had no choice but to ask for help from an old lady next to me: "Auntie, can you help me pay for the fare?" It only costs two yuan to go to Dongguan Town. The old lady in her forties covered her pockets and said, "Where can I get the money?" She had a thick gold chain around her neck and two gold rings on her hands. She didn't look like a poor person. I sighed and was about to say a few nice words to the conductor, but the driver shouted in a gruff voice: "Do you have any money? If you don't, get off the bus!"
"That's right, get off the bus! Get off the bus!" The conductor came over and grabbed my collar. It looked like I had really run into bandits!
"Hey, don't chase people off the bus. Where are you going to let them go in this remote place?" A beautiful lady in the front row said, "It's just two dollars. I'll pay for him." She took out two dollars and handed it to the ticket seller. The ticket seller took the money, but didn't give a good look. He snorted and said, "You have a kind heart, the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Then he squeezed to the front. The occupancy rate of the bus was about 80%, and I was sitting in the back row. As soon as the ticket seller left, I said to the lady, "Thank you, sister!" The beautiful lady narrowed her eyes into a line, looking beautiful and generous, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I have a brother who is about the same age as you. He is also very careless and often goes out without money!"
I said embarrassedly, "This is my first time." I started chatting with the beautiful lady. Before we could finish our conversation, the bus suddenly stopped and three sullen and burly men got on. Perhaps it was out of intuition, I suddenly felt that these three people might have bad intentions, and my eyes were fixed on them. Sure enough, before the car drove out for a minute, these three people all showed their daggers, and everyone on the bus screamed in fear. "Come on, driver." A round-faced man said grimly, "Pull over. We have to eat today, so we have to ask for money from you. I hope you will cooperate."
The conductor sat at the door, shivering like a sieve, without any of the domineering aura he had just now. The driver also obediently parked the car on the side of the road, and no longer had the gruff voice he had just had. It seemed that the fake bandits had met the real bandits, and they were getting close to each other in an instant. This was already a remote place, with few cars or people passing by. Even if there were, they would not know that a robbery was taking place here.
"Come on, everyone, be quick." The round-faced man shook the dagger in his hand and said coldly, "Be more proactive, don't let me search personally. It's obviously there, but you say there's none. Be careful, I'll stab you in the back with a knife, and I'll stab you in the back with a knife. We all have murder cases, so we don't mind adding one more!" I could see that they were indeed a group of desperate criminals, so I shouldn't provoke them easily. Besides, I didn't have any money on me, so I wasn't afraid of them robbing me. The people in the car were silent, all frightened by the momentum of these people.
