Chapter 77
Lu Shenxing thought they would arrive in more than half an hour, but after getting off the bus, Wu Yuan told him that they still had to walk for another ten or twenty minutes.
The cement road was bumpy and dusty, with crisscrossing farmlands on both sides.
Lu Shenxing followed Wu Yuan and took the small path on the left. It was his first time walking on the ridge of a field, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The two of them spoke in silence along the way.
Wu Yuan walked forward, and suddenly he realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that the person was gone.
He returned the same way and saw the man sitting in the peanut field, half-closed his eyes, as if he was admiring the scenery.
"Teacher, what are you doing sitting here?"
"Tired."
Wu Yuan didn't hear it. He asked, "What?"
Lu Shenxing, "I'm tired!"
“…”
Wu Yuan choked. This man was usually stern and had a bad temper, everything was written on his face. But now he had become very strange, his behavior was unpredictable... and he was also shameless.
Thinking of the situation of being crushed in the car, Wu Yuan felt a burning sensation in his crotch, as if something had scratched him, and it was a bit painful.
Lu Shenxing brushed back the slightly damp hair on his forehead, revealing his clear features. "Is there any water?"
Wu Yuan pursed his lips and said, "No."
Lu Shenxing raised his chin towards his schoolbag and said, "I saw it. It's green."
Wu Yuan's ears were red and his cheeks were hot. He didn't like others using his drinking cup.
Lu Shenxing stood up, patted his pants, and stood to Wu Yuan's right. He said lazily, "Stand here and wait for me. I'll go find some water from the store."
"Wait." Wu Yuan unscrewed the lid of the cup with a stern face, poured water into it and handed it to Lu Shenxing.
Lu Shenxing took it reluctantly. After he finished drinking, Wu Yuan refilled his glass three times in a row.
Wu Yuan turned around and quickly wiped the lid with the hem of his clothes. Still feeling it was not enough, he poured some water out to rinse it.
Lu Shenxing was sharp-eyed and caught it. His forehead twitched. If you dare to dislike me, you will soon come over and eat my saliva.
After walking for nearly an hour, the two stopped.
In the field in front of the door, a middle-aged man was weeding. When he saw Lu Shenxing and Wu Yuan, he quickly ran over with a hoe and greeted them with "Hello, teacher".
He shouted to Wu Yuan, "Go weed."
Wu Yuan threw his schoolbag on the table and went to the field without saying a word.
Lu Shenxing stood at the door, looking at Wu Yuan's back, his already ugly expression becoming even uglier.
Wu Dongqiang rubbed his hands nervously, "Teacher, did Wu Yuan get into trouble at school?"
Lu Shenxing frowned. He had no doubt that as long as he nodded, the hoe at Wu Dongqiang's feet would be swung at Wu Yuan.
"It's okay. I came here to talk to you about Wu Yuan's tutoring."
"Make up lessons?" Wu Dongqiang's face was long.
In his eyes, tutoring means money.
There had never been a college student in their village, so Wu Dongqiang had no idea. He thought that Wu Yuan just needed to graduate from high school, get a diploma, learn a skill, get married, and raise children, and that would be enough.
Lu Shenxing explained his purpose. "Wu Yuan's grades are very good, but his English is a little weak. I plan to give him extra lessons every weekend afternoon. It doesn't cost any money."
When Wu Dongqiang heard that it was free, his expression immediately changed. "Okay, okay, thank you, teacher."
Lu Shenxing took a quick glance and turned to look at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan's mother came back from the vegetable garden and politely asked Lu Shenxing to stay for dinner before leaving.
"No, I have something to do tonight." Lu Shenxing refused.
Wu Dongqiang showed his smoke-blackened teeth and said, "Teacher, after dinner I'll ask Wu Yuan to take you to town to take a taxi. We'll still have time." He asked Wu Yuan's mother to kill a chicken.
Wu Dongqiang went to find Wu Yuan and said something to him. When Wu Yuan came back, one of his arms was slightly red with a palm print on it.
When Lu Shenxing saw this, he felt uncomfortable and did not leave.
"Where is your toilet?"
Wu Yuan looked at him, "Big or small?"
Lu Shenxing, "...big one."
Does this make sense? Lu Shenxing was puzzled, but when he saw the toilet, everything became clear.
The small ones can be dealt with in the corners of the ground or under a tree, but the big ones require risk.
The small house was made of earth, with a random roof on top and a large vat underneath. A thick piece of wood was placed across the middle, dividing the vat into two parts. The front half was covered with a few wooden boards, and the back half was surrounded by mosquitoes.
The smell of feces was overwhelming.
Lu Shenxing, “…”
Is this definitely a toilet?
Lu Shenxing came back to his senses with a dull stomachache. "Should I squat or sit?"
Wu Yuan pointed at the wood and said, "Sit there."
There was a creaking sound when he stepped on the wooden board. Lu Shenxing's scalp tingled, "Isn't it going to fall into the cesspool?"
Wu Yuan said calmly, "No."
Seeing the man's conflicted expression, Wu Yuan said inexplicably, "I won't leave." As soon as he said that, he was stunned.
Lu Shenxing witnessed the strength of □□ Mosquito, and rushed out as soon as he finished, without even putting on his pants.
Wu Yuan turned his head away in panic.
Damn, there are so many bumps on his butt. Lu Shenxing cursed in his heart and scratched his butt hard. He couldn't help but want to pull down Wu Yuan's pants to see if they were all mosquito bites.
"Your toilet is really special."
Wu Yuan was not surprised, "We all do this here."
Lu Shenxing turned his back with a sullen face.
Wu Yuan glanced up and down, "What?"
Lu Shenxing's tone was not very good, "See if there is anything splashed on my back from the tank."
Wu Yuan pursed his lips, "No."
"Teacher Zhang, come and eat peaches!"
Wu Dongqiang's voice came over, Lu Shenxing straightened his clothes and left quickly.
In the countryside, all the dishes are simple stir-fried dishes. This time, because Lu Shenxing came, meat and chicken were specially added. Each dish was served in a large bowl, piled high.
Wu Dongqiang took out a bottle of white wine. Lu Shenxing said he didn't want to drink it, so he started drinking it by himself, one glass after another, just like drinking boiled water.
Wu Yuan's mother was considerate enough to pour him some wine.
Lu Shenxing couldn't think of any adjectives to describe Wu Yuan's parents. He knew the original plot and was speechless after experiencing it personally.
On the way back, Lu Shenxing smelled the scent of safflower oil from Wu Yuan. "Does your father beat you often?"
Wu Yuan said, "Not often."
Lu Shenxing turned his head to look at him, "With your grades, if you perform normally in the college entrance examination, getting into a key university won't be a problem."
Wu Yuan's face, which had been tense all night, finally showed a hint of relief.
A motorcycle whizzed past, and Lu Shenxing was quick to pull Wu Yuan into his arms.
Wu Yuan's chin hit the strong chest, and his nostrils were filled with unfamiliar smells. He forgot to struggle. There was no sound in his left ear, and the hot and humid breath climbed up.
In my right ear, I heard a man's soft voice, "Watch your way."
Lu Shenxing said slowly, "Wu Yuan, you hit the teacher with something."
