The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 535 Curious
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when Xu Hongdou returned to the windy courtyard. Wang Gang and Xiao Hulu were still playing in the courtyard. Xie Xiaochun was busy with work and hadn't come to pick up the children yet.

Pushing open the door and walking to the platform on the second floor, Xu Hongdou could see Wang Gang and Xiao Hulu.

Wang Gang was sitting in the yard, holding a small gourd, and was telling a story.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but took out his Polaroid and took a photo of them.

Wang Gang seemed to notice something, looked up at Xu Hongdou, just smiled, and said nothing.

Xu Hongdou felt a little guilty, so he couldn't help taking two steps back and returning to his room.

"Why did I secretly film him?" Xu Hongdou muttered to himself.

"Maybe it's because he sings so well!"

In the coffee shop just now, Wang Gang's "Maybe" completely conquered everyone, even Hu Youyu, who is very picky about music, had to admit that Wang Gang sang better than him.

When Xu Hongdou recalled it now, he still felt the sound of music in his ears.

Wang Gang's singing level is actually not higher than Hu Youyu's, but his songs are too emotional, or the song "Maybe" is too suitable for him, and people can empathize with the lyrics as soon as he opens his mouth.

The loneliness and helplessness expressed in the song is even more unforgettable for Xu Hongdou.

She picked up Wang Gang's photo and drew a small question mark on it with a pen.

"Who are you? Why do I feel sad when I see you smiling?"

Xu Hongdou posted the photo on the photo wall and placed it in the middle, but later felt it was inappropriate and moved it to the corner.

"Nan Xing, if it were you, what would you do?"

Xu Hongdou took out his mobile phone and wanted to call up the photos of his good friends, only then remembered that the mobile phone was broken.

She immediately decided to go to the ancient city tomorrow and fix her phone first.

"Oops, I forgot to tell my family that I'm safe!" Xu Hongdou suddenly realized that he forgot a very important thing.

Originally, she made an agreement with her family before she came to travel, and she would call back to report her safety as soon as she arrived, but her phone was broken yesterday, and she was so busy that she completely forgot about it.

Thinking of my mother and sister, I guess I should call the police in a hurry at this time!
Xu Hongdou hurried out of the room and asked Wang Gang in the yard, "Brother Wang, is there a public phone around here?"

Holding the little gourd, Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Everyone in the village has a mobile phone, and the public phone has been cancelled."

Xu Hongdou said urgently: "Can you lend me your mobile phone to make a call?"

"No problem!"

Xu Hongdou was overjoyed and ran downstairs, Wang Gang unlocked the phone and lent her.

"Hi, Mom, I'm Hongdou." Xu Hongdou said impatiently as soon as the call was made.

"You damn girl, why are you only calling now? Your father and I are dying of anxiety. If your sister hadn't stopped us, we would have called the police." On the phone, Mother Xu growled as soon as she heard her daughter's voice. Wang Gang could hear it.

Xu Hongdou held the phone farther away to prevent the eardrum from being shattered.

"Mom, I'm sorry, my phone is broken and I haven't fixed it yet, so I'll borrow someone else's phone to call you." Xu Hongdou apologized.

"When did your phone break down? Why did you call back now? Are your dad and I worried? How can a 30-year-old be so clueless?"

Xu Hongdou smiled awkwardly at Wang Gang, stepped aside, and whispered:
"Mom, I won't talk anymore. The mobile phone belongs to someone else. I will call you after I repair the mobile phone. Please let me know from my sister."

"Hurry up and fix your phone. From now on, you have to call home every day to report. You are a girl outside, so you have to learn to take care of yourself."

Xu's mother told her daughter a few words on the phone, then hung up the phone.

Xu Hongdou let out a long breath.

"Brother Wang, thank you." Xu Hongdou returned the phone to Wang Gang.

"It's okay." Wang Gang said indifferently.

Xu Hongdou noticed that the little gourd in Wang Gang's arms was already asleep.

"Sister Xiaochun hasn't come to pick up the little gourd yet?" Xu Hongdou asked strangely.

"I called and asked, and it's almost here!"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Xie Xiaochun happened to walk into the windy courtyard.

"I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the express delivery. I'm only busy now. Please take care of the little gourd for so long. If I had known, I would have asked my mother to help take her." Xie Xiaochun said very apologetically.

Wang Gang carefully handed the little gourd to Xie Xiaochun, and said, "It's okay, I also like playing with the little gourd."

Xie Xiaochun hugged his daughter and said, "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Wang Gang asked back: "Is the problem solved?"

Xie Xiaochun said distressedly: "Not yet, I have to go to the ancient city tomorrow."

Wang Gang nodded and said, "The transportation from the village to the ancient city is not very convenient, why don't you drive my car tomorrow, just to take the red beans to repair the phone."

Xu Hongdou suddenly remembered Wang Gang's [-]-wheeler. If she rode to the ancient city, her butt would be swollen.

Just about to reject Wang Gang's kindness, Xie Xiaochun didn't expect to speak first.

"Your car is too expensive, I dare not drive it, I'd better rent a car and go!

Alas, I've worked hard for a month, and now that I can save some money, renting a car will cost a lot of money. "

As soon as Xu Hongdou heard it, he knew that he might have made a mistake, and Wang Gang probably wasn't talking about the [-]th.

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Okay! Don't pretend, I will drive you to the ancient city tomorrow, and I just want to buy some paint."

Xie Xiaochun was overjoyed, and said: "It's so hard for you, I will treat you to authentic Yunnan cuisine when you arrive in the ancient city."

Wang Gang shook his head with a smile, and said to Xu Hongdou, "Let's go together tomorrow!"

Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, she always felt that being a light bulb was not very good, but she promised her mother to fix the phone as soon as possible.

"Let's go with Hongdou, there will be a companion on the way, and it will be more lively." Xie Xiaochun said with a smile.

The kindness is hard to turn down, so Xu Hongdou could only agree.

"Well, we will start at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and gather in the small courtyard. Is there any problem?" Wang Gang asked.

"No problem, I'll be there on time tomorrow morning and bring you breakfast by the way." Xie Xiaochun agreed.

Xu Hongdou was a little hesitant. She planned to sleep until tomorrow and wake up naturally.

But since it's a free ride, she can't let Wang Gang and Xie Xiaochun wait for her to wake up!

"I'm fine. Thank you, Brother Wang, for helping me so much these two days."

Wang Gang said indifferently: "I am actually a warm-hearted person, you can tell Xiaochun if you ask me."

"That's right, who doesn't know in Yunmiao Village, brother Wang is the kindest." Xie Xiaochun said with a thumbs up.

"Okay! Send the little gourd home!"

Xie Xiaochun took his daughter home, Wang Gang turned to Xu Hongdou and said, "You go back to rest early too! You have to get up early tomorrow."

Xu Hongdou scratched her arm. There seemed to be a lot of mosquitoes at night, and she got bitten a few times.

"Remember to close the windows when you go back. There are many mosquitoes at night. Do you have mosquito coils or toilet water?" Wang Gang looked at Xu Hongdou's arm and asked.

"No?" Xu Hongdou shook his head.

"I don't have that either, and the canteen may be closed." Wang Gang thought for a while and said, "I'll take you to borrow some from Damai. She hasn't seen Xiaoyuan before, right?"

Xu Hongdou thought of the girl she saw when she was washing in the morning.

Wang Gang took Xu Hongdou directly to the door of a room, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Barley, are you there?"

There were some noises from the door, and soon the door opened a crack, and a quarter of a girl's face was exposed through the crack. Xu Hongdou barely recognized the girl she saw in the bathroom in the morning.

"Balley, this is Xu Hongdou, the new tenant who arrived yesterday."

Through the door, Wang Gang introduced the two of them: "This is Damai, Zhou Qingtian, a famous Internet writer, whose pen name is Barley Tea, we all call her Damai."

Damai softly said "Hello" through the crack of the door

Xu Hongdou felt that Damai was a very shy girl, so she took the initiative.

"Balley, hello, do you have mosquito coils or toilet water? Can you lend me some, I'll buy a new one and return it to you tomorrow."

Damai lowered his head and said two words like a mosquito humming.

"I have."

The door was closed, Xu Hongdou thought Damai said "I don't have one."

Just as she was about to leave, the door opened again, and a white hand stretched out, holding a small bag.

Wang Gang took the bag and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." The door closed again.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help looking at Wang Gang, and asked, "Does she not like me?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Damai is rather introverted. You'll know when you get to know her well. She's a nice person."

Xu Hongdou half-jokingly said, "Are there no bad guys in the small courtyard?"

Wang Gang nodded and said: "You are really right. Although we people come from all over the world, it is fate that we can live in the same courtyard."

"Fate?" Xu Hongdou smiled and said, "Is there a deeper fate between Brother Wang and I?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Hongdou regretted slightly, whether these words could easily cause ambiguity.

Fortunately, Wang Gang didn't care, and asked Xu Hongdou to rest early.
