Chapter Ten, Overgrown Summer Grass (04).

Lu Qingya smiled and said, "What happened later?"

Later, I reluctantly entered a prestigious high school and studied liberal arts. I barely managed to pass the entrance exam for a 985 university within the province. She summarized, "It's just a story of mediocrity that may not have a happy ending."

Poker is no longer interesting, so everyone gathered around two tables to play mahjong.

Lin Mei touched her nose, interpreting the remark as indirect praise for her reliability, "Then in class..."

The heart wants to jump out of the mouth.

Heat wave comes and is blown away by the wind.

Lin Mei sat on a small stool, holding a water pipe, slowly washing a small area of ​​the cement floor. A group of black ants were scattered by the water, and then crawled back slowly.

Lin Mei trembled for a moment, but didn't move.

Lin Mei's feet went weak, and she stood for a while before whispering, "I'm fine, but Edmund..."

Lù Qīngyá zhuǎn tóu kàn tā yīyǎn, xiào le xiào, "Shì a, Fǎlìyà shénfù."

He sneered and angrily said, "If you have any questions, come at me directly. Bullying dogs and women is not a skill!"

A middle-aged woman pretended to come up and pull her, "Big sister, don't be stubborn, it's just a dog..."

After leaving the air-conditioned room, the heat wave outside can instantly make people sweat profusely.

Lù Qīngyá dītóu kàn zhe tā, yǒudiǎn ér jíqiè de wèndào: "Shòu méi shòu shāng?"

Lin Mei asked: "Why keep him here?"

The blood flowing from its hind paw has soaked a patch of yellow soil on the ground. Lin Mei took a glance and immediately became furious. She rushed forward and stood in front of the cage, saying, "You said it was bitten by it, where is the evidence?"

The priest, Abbé Faria, was the one who helped Edmond Dantès, the Count of Monte Cristo, escape from prison. Lin Mei's face inexplicably flushed as she thought it was strange that Lu Qingya was actually reading foreign classics.

Lin Mei was straightforward: "Don't even think about it."

I have never seen anyone like her, so silly, sincere, brave, and kind.

The ground is sinking, nothing seems real.

The voice of Dan Dongting sounded at the door: "Mr. Lu!"

Lù Qīngyá bǎ yíng lái de qián wǎng zhuō shàng yī tuī, "Lǎn de qǐng, nǐmen zìjǐ fēn ba."

Next to it is a plastic small stool with a picture book on it. I don't know when or who put it there.

Once, Lu Qingya asked her, "Teacher Lin, you're only twenty years old, how did you graduate from college?"

Edmund heard Lu Qingya's voice and shouted even louder. Lin Mei was afraid that it would cause the wound on his palm to crack further, so she immediately comforted him in a soft voice, "It's okay, I'll let you out soon."

Unlike when he came and deliberately made things difficult, on the way back, Lu Qingya rode the car fast and steadily. When he entered the city center, he didn't take the main roads with many traffic lights, but instead chose to take small roads to detour.

Lù Qīngyái turned his gaze and looked at Lin Mei.

You decide.

Lín mèi qì jié.

After asking, I found out that a child nearby was bitten. Some people in the town had already disliked the second-generation rich kids like Lu Qingya and his gang who were racing. As soon as they heard the news, someone immediately came out and confidently said, "It was the dog raised by those brats." So a group of people came with various tools such as cages, knives, fishing nets, and traps, and aggressively came to investigate.

He just kept holding her hand, looking at her, with a slightly nervous yet seemingly determined smile in his eyes.

After a while, Lu Qingya said, "Have you made up your mind? My feet are numb." Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

Understood, Lu Qingya no longer had any temper, "Once this matter is over, we will go up."

The clear water gushed out, and the group of ants that had just gathered together were immediately scattered again.

Lù Qīngyá shuō bù qīngchǔ xīnlǐ shì shénme zīwèi, shēnshǒu bǎ tā tóufa shàng de huīchén dǎn le yīxià, "Nǐ qù xǐ bǎ liǎn, wǒ lái."

"Tsk!" Everyone expressed disdain, "Who still lacks this amount of money."

Lin Mei's ears were buzzing, and her hot cheeks were pressed against his chest.

There is definitely more than one dog in the town! If you want to deal with it, at least call the child who was bitten... Lin Mei paused, realizing that saying this might be digging a hole for herself, "... Have you asked the child? What does the dog that bit him look like?"

Edmund is a German Shepherd. She finds it quite strange. In her impression, German Shepherds are not such clingy dogs. But after a few days, it has become familiar with her and sticks to her like glue. Every time she leaves, it insists on seeing her off to the roadside, and even barks at the exhaust fumes for a while after the car has left.

Lin Mei whispered, "Who is your wife?"

Lin Mei said, looking at him, "You..."

Lin Mei's back stiffened, and she subconsciously held her breath. She then heard Lu Qingya laugh and say, "Do you like me? Would she dare?"

That car came speeding over and stopped steadily beside her. Lu Qingya threw her a helmet and said, "Get on."

Lin Mei squeezed into the crowd and exclaimed, "What is this for!"

Lin Mei stood straight with her waist and back, "If you want to slaughter it, you'll have to slaughter me first!"

In the following days, Lin Mei went to take care of Edmund on time. Qiu Bo and the others made a fuss, calling her "Teacher Lin" in a sarcastic tone as soon as they saw her. Lin Mei couldn't argue back due to her thin skin. After giving the dog food and water and playing with it for a while, she would leave.

These days, please help me take care of Edmund. The dog food is in the cabinet in the east room. No need to walk it. It has a good temper and doesn't bite people.

Lù Qīngyái maintained the posture of holding her finger and switched the water pipe to the other hand.

Lin Mei has a poor sense of direction. After wandering around for a while, she raised her head wearing a helmet, looked past Lu Qingya's shoulder, and saw the sign of "Jiangpu City First People's Hospital" in her field of vision.

On the side, Lin Mei silently thought to herself: "As for me!"

Do you remember how to keep score? Shall we try this afternoon?

Lin Mei became alert, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Mei touched Edmund's fur for a while, and then noticed his gaze, "... ... What's wrong?"

It's still that middle-aged woman, "Big sister, this dog isn't yours, right..."

"Don't waste your breath on her!" A middle-aged strong man raised the kitchen knife in his hand. "Whether it bites or not, it must be slaughtered today, otherwise it will be a disaster sooner or later."

What more evidence do you need! The neighbors all know each other. Who would let their dog bite someone? This bastard is the only one around here...

After half an hour, Lu Qingya came down with a rather pale complexion.

Suddenly, there was a rumble outside, and amidst the dust and exhaust fumes, seven or eight motorcycles filed in and stopped steadily at the door. Lin Mei looked up and saw Lu Qingya jumping off the motorcycle.

Lin Meiqing clearly heard Dan Dongting say "I'm screwed," and then his footsteps faded away.

The young man tightened his slightly trembling arms, encircling her waist and back, exerting force, making her feel as if she couldn't catch her breath.

Lin Mei handed over the key to Lu Qingya, who took it and put it in his pocket. He looked down at her and said, "Do me a favor." In a hurry, his cheeks were covered in sweat, and the fabric on his shoulders was also wet.

It's hot outside, and Lin Mei hasn't seen Edmund in the house for a while. She's a little worried, so she decides to go out and take a look.

Lin Mei found a shady spot and stood by the roadside waiting for a bus, looking foolish and dazed. She hadn't been waiting long when the hot and stuffy afternoon air made her feel uncomfortable. The place was desolate, easy to get to but difficult to leave. She could only rely on luck to see if there was a bus back to the city center that could give her a ride along the way.

Lin Mei hesitated for only one second, then put on her helmet and mounted the motorcycle.

Lu Qingya smiled and said, "If you agree now, then you are."

Lin Mei immediately struggled, but Lu Qingya tightened his grip on her hand even more. Lazily, he responded, "Don't come over, my wife is feeling embarrassed."

A shadow cast.

Lin Mei looked at him, "I'll trust you for the last time."

This is mine.

He didn't elaborate, so Lin Mei didn't inquire further. She only asked, "What about your group of friends? Can't they help?"

Outside the door, near the washbasin, there is a tree planted. It is difficult to identify the exact species, perhaps a mulberry tree, perhaps a cherry tree. The leaves are green and provide a bit of shade.

Lù Qīngyá zhāzhe tā shǒubì de nà zhǐ shǒu xièle lìdào, kàn tā diǎnle diǎn tóu, cái dūn xià shēn, qù bǎ ài dé méng cóng lóngzi lǐ bào chūlái.

In the afternoon, the poker game was really set up. Lin Mei sat next to Lu Qingya, secretly giving him pointers on playing cards—something she didn't want to do at first, but after being earnestly stared at by Lu Qingya's eyes twice, she couldn't hold onto her principles.

Lu Qingya smiled and said, "They? Just a bunch of useless people. It would be good enough if they can take care of themselves."

Her clothes and face were covered in dust, her arms were cold, and I suspect her hands were too.

Time and location...

Lù Qīngyá cètóu zài jiānbǎng shàng cā le cā é tóu shàng de hàn, "Wǒ lái yīyuàn de shì, nǐ bié gàosu biérén, tāmen wèn qǐlái nǐ jiù shuō wǒ chūqù lǚyóule."

A motorcycle found a place to park behind the hospital. He quickly jumped off the bike, took off his helmet, and handed it to Lin Mei, saying, "Help me lock the bike." Without further instructions, he sprinted towards the main building of the hospital, his figure leaping around the corner and quickly disappearing. The key was still inserted in the bike, swaying for a moment before coming to a standstill.

However, when Lin Mei arrived that morning, something went wrong.

In the courtyard, a circle of people surrounded a middle-aged man who was bare-chested. He stood in the center with an iron cage under his feet, in which Edmund was locked up. Edmund was shouting and banging his head against the cage in anger.

Lù Qīngyá tāmen xū zhāng shēngshì yīzhèn xiàhuā, nà qún rén jiù mà mà liē liē de sàn le, lián zhēnzhèng yìyì shàng de zhītǐ chōngtú dōu méi fāshēng.
