Chapter 61 LXI

There are no relatives in the family to leave, and the people who come to pay New Year's greetings are estimated to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

It was rare to be quiet at this moment, Xia Zang supported his body and continued his review.

On the way, Xiaman opened the door and came in, calling him to eat something.

He replied a few times in a very face-saving manner, and did not move.

Then the well water did not interfere with the river water, Xia Zang looked at the time displayed on the block machine, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

He changed into a set of softer pajamas, lay down on the bed and slept for a while.

When I got up again, there were guests at home.

Xia Zang thought that he couldn't go out to meet guests with his ghostly appearance, so he collapsed on the bed and pretended to be dead.

And Xia Man shouted: "Xia Zang, come out! Your classmate is here!"

My classmates... None of my classmates know where my home is.

Xia Zang turned over, originally thinking of ignoring him, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he fell off the bed, grabbed a coat and put it on, and rushed out the door barefoot.

As he wished, he saw Haoyue and Jiang Yanxu standing cautiously beside the sofa in the distance.

The middle-aged man who was seated with Xia Man pushed his silver-rimmed glasses and said, "You guys of the same age, go and play together, don't you want to discuss your studies?"

But Xia Man looked at Xia Zang from head to toe in displeasure: "Look at you, is it reasonable?"

"It's because we came to visit abruptly, did we interrupt Xiao Yang's nap?" The middle-aged man took over the conversation kindly.

When Xia Man was wondering about the word "Xiao Yang", Haoyue said wittily, "Then let's discuss the matter with Xia Zang first, uncle, you and my dad will talk first."

After speaking, he immediately dragged the confused Jiang Yanxu to Xia Zang's side.

Xia Zang came to his senses and led them to his room.

Close the door, lock it.

Haoyue, who hadn't had time to catch her breath, asked, "Brother Xia, where's Yang Sheng? Also, what's wrong with your head?"

"That's right, isn't he with you?" Jiang Yanxu followed suit, "It's not that he beat your head, you are angry and kicked him out..."

Haoyue unceremoniously twisted Jiang Yanxu's arm, interrupting his unbelievable association.

Xia Zang dragged two chairs for them and motioned them to sit down first; he sat back on the edge of the bed by himself, still feeling a little unreal.

Perhaps his expressionless face was too frightening, and the two visitors who had been making a fuss fell silent.

Jiang Yanxu touched Haoyue's arm: "Brother Xia, are you stupid?"

Haoyue bumped back: "I don't know, don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Yanxu: "I have a bad feeling."

Haoyue: "Shut up, don't get premonitions."

And Xia Zang finally let out a breath, and smiled softly: "Thank God, you are here."

He briefly explained the situation to the two friends, during which Jiang Yanxu slapped himself and said, "What kind of crow's mouth am I?"

Haoyue frowned lightly, and asked, "Do you need our help?"

"Well, I have to trouble you for the time being." Xia Zang nodded and said, "I probably know where Yang Sheng is locked up, but I can't go out now, and even if I go out, I can't see him openly. His mother should be over there Watch him."

"Oh, let's go there, anyway, Yanxu also knows Auntie, so it shouldn't make her suspicious." Hao Yueming came over.

"Wait a minute, I'll stroke it." Jiang Yanxu was still a little out of the situation, sorting out his thoughts with his fingers.

"But I just have a rough guess, and Yang Sheng may not be there." Xia Zang added apologetically.

"That's okay, I have no other plans for today and tomorrow." Hao Yue said.

"I have no other arrangements until the seventh day of the seventh day." Jiang Yanxu said, he finally sorted it out, and said enthusiastically, "Isn't it just a messenger for you two? What a big deal!"

Haoyue couldn't bear it anymore and slapped someone again.

Xia Zang nodded seriously, "Thank you."

However, he ushered the guests into the room in such a hurry, without even pouring them a glass of water, which was really offensive.

But these two didn't think there was anything wrong, instead they read his previous collection of books with great interest after asking his permission.

Most of them are collections of poetry and prose that are yellowish. Jiang Yanxu started yawning after turning two pages, and Haoyue became more and more energetic the more he read.

Xia Zang finished writing the note and folded it carefully.

"Haoyue, if you like it, you can pick one and take it with you." Xia Zang said.

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Haoyue raised the book "Grass and Trees in the World" in her hand.

Jiang Yanxu looked at Xia Zang nervously, Xia Zang smiled: "You can also choose what you like..."

"No, Brother Xia, I'll just take a look at it casually." Xiao Jiang immediately interrupted, "You can give me the sticky note, I'm still happy to take it, keep it and don't peek!"

"Hey, it sounds like I'd sneak a peek." Haoyue patted Jiang Yanxu's shoulder on "Human Vegetation" upon hearing that.

"It doesn't matter if you read it, and he didn't write anything." Xia Zang handed the note to Jiang Yanxu, "When you see him, remember to let him drink more hot water and eat well."

"You yourself too." Jiang Yanxu said, and handed the note to Haoyue, asking her to put it in the pages of the book.

Haoyue sighed softly, her eyes were slightly red.

Unexpectedly, Xia Man had a good chat with that uncle Qiu.

Uncle Qiu looked like a man of culture, so how could he have a common language with Xia Man, that big bastard.

But this is not what Xia Zang has the heart to explore.

Before sending Haoyue Xiaojiang away, he still thought of leaving a contact information for each other. According to what Yang Sheng said, they are all friends now.

And after Xia Man sent people out, there was something in his words: "Isn't it good to make more friends like this?"

"It's very good." Xia Zang followed his words, but focused on pouring warm water in front of the water dispenser without looking at him. "Speaking of which, you have to thank Yang Sheng specifically."

"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even have these two friends."

Xia Zang drank two sips of water, felt the taste was bland and wanted to put it down, but promised to drink more hot water, so he forced to drink the rest in one gulp.

Then he put down the cup and walked to the room with a sigh of relief, not caring about Xia Man's continued mischief behind him.

"Yes, Yang Sheng is your life!"

With obvious irony, he gritted his teeth.

But Xia Zang was happy to hear that, and he said, "Yes, isn't he my destiny?"

After closing the door, Xia Zang suddenly remembered something, and the little joy that had been aroused with great difficulty was instantly extinguished.

He forgot that the address was an old house they hadn't been to for a long time, and it was impossible for outsiders to know it easily.

Letting Haoyue and Jiang Yanxu pass by like this will definitely arouse Auntie's suspicion and questioning.

Even if the aunt had seen Jiang Yanxu, it was only in the house where they lived.

From the aunt's point of view, it is impossible for Haoyue and Yanxu, who are just friends, to know where the old house is.

Almost causing a catastrophe, Xia Zang hastily called Haoyue and said to stop sending the letter.

"Hiss." Haoyue gasped, "Then you won't see each other, and Yanxu and I have no reason to go over there..."

"Wait until school starts." Xia Zang said discouragedly, his forehead hurt suddenly, "I'll think of a way."

"What's the matter!" Jiang Yanxu yelled as the background sound.

Don't worry, don't panic, there will be a way.

Xia Zang slowly leaned halfway against the head of the bed, and the carved wood on the back of his head calmed him down a bit.

Currently, those who know about this matter include Haoyue Yanxu, Boss Lu and... Teacher Lu.

Teacher Lu, yes, right now, Teacher Lu is the only one who can know the address of the old house through reasonable channels.

"When school starts, I'll go find Teacher Lu." After a while, Xia Zang said slowly, "Please ask him to win us a chance to go to the old house in the name of sending teaching materials."

"Lu, Teacher Lu also knows?" Haoyue asked.

"Well, he will help us." Xia Zang said, subconsciously using a tone as firm as Yang Sheng said, "It's okay to let Boss Lu know."

Yang Sheng managed to tidy up the house without any major changes, but at least he could sleep.

He also vacated a table and found a mouse hole in the foot of the table.

Pulling apart the finely broken cement blocks, there is actually this code book hidden inside. It is the kind of colorful thick book that will be sold at the entrance of the elementary school, with a special digital lock as a barrier to prevent others from peeping.

The cover has obviously faded in color, and the book has been in use for a few years, but the number lock is tenaciously fastened to the cover and end pages, preventing the secrets inside from being leaked out.

He himself hadn't bought this thing when he was a child, and the tenants wouldn't be so bored to find a place to hide their secrets in a house that didn't belong to them.

The owner of the book must be the one on his heart.

But the combination lock was rusted, and he couldn't open it by force. Besides, his hands were really inconvenient, so he had to wipe off the dust on the book with a wet towel, and put it on the desk.

Try to unlock the code, there is nothing to do anyway, the door is locked from the outside.

For four-digit numbers, there are hundreds of combinations of numbers; but children generally do not design complex passwords, most of them are their own birthdays or family members' birthdays.

Yang Sheng dialed "0417", but didn't open it.

Sure enough, the lock is broken, do you have to break it completely?

He accidentally dialed a series of numbers: "0624", and the lock opened.

Yang Sheng blinked, not quite understanding why Xia Zang at that time thought of using his birthday as a password.

Could it be that Xia Zang had a crush on him at that time?

Heck, it's not impossible.Someone stared at the cover of the book and laughed for 2 minutes.

But her boyfriend was not around, so Yang Sheng could only silently say sorry three times before carefully turning over the crumpled and yellowed title page.

"Little Hamster Observation Diary".

Dou Da's words came into view, and Yang Sheng was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair.

The footer of the page is also marked with three small characters: "Xia Zangzhu".

Good guy, he's serious.

Curiously, I turned to the first page, which began with "May 20, 5XX, any day of the week, the weather outside is sunny, but I'm not in a good mood."

If you write a diary like this, won't your Chinese teacher scold you?

Yang Sheng couldn't help but feel soft because of this immature but neat and lovely handwriting.

It is a stroke of a painting, which penetrates the back of the paper.

"Xiaman told me about the new brother very early on, so I bought the notebook a week in advance, thinking that if I couldn't beat him in a fight, I would write bad things about him in the notebook.

Who knew he was so short, half a head shorter than me, he felt like he would cry for a long time if he slapped him. "

Ok……

"I'll cry for a long time if you slap me down," Yang Sheng exclaimed "Fuck", but due to limited voice conditions, he didn't come out with "Fuck".

"He doesn't even know how to write the word 'Tibetan', and he will be in sixth grade next semester, what should he do when he enters junior high school!"

It can be seen that he is very serious and worried, and there are a bunch of exclamation points at the end of the sentence.

"In addition, his hands are so small and soft, but they are a little rough and have scars."

A solemn red circle was placed on the word "scar".

"I want to ask if it's because he is naughty that he made his hands like this, but it seems that I am very enthusiastic about him... No, it can't be like this, this will let Xia Man's trick succeed.

Besides, no one should hurt himself by being naughty, unless he is a fool. "

Hey, Yang Sheng felt that Xia Zang was ridiculed by crossing time and space. Fortunately, he used the excuse of being naughty when he was a child to deceive Xia Zang.

"Xia Man said, let him sleep in my room at night, talking about cultivating feelings. He is not my child bride, why should he cultivate feelings with me!"

What do you think about in this little head every day?Even the child bride-in-law came out...

Yang Sheng couldn't cover his face and smile, his hands were hurt, but he was too embarrassed to face this childish nonsense, wishing he could travel through time and space and rub this mumbling and complaining little dumpling from head to toe.

"If he snatches my quilt at night, I will definitely, definitely write two pages full of scolding him!"

What a cowardly threat, well, he was really threatened.

Finally, Yang Sheng couldn't help it, and grabbed a ballpoint pen; he was worried about his ugly handwriting, so he tore off a sticky note and pasted it under the diary.

"Don't worry, brother, I will be obedient."

Replied obediently, Yang Sheng assured Xia Zang to eat this set.

Then the second diary confirmed his conjecture. Xia Zang wrote: "It's cloudy today, but I'm in a good mood, let it clear up. And the little hamster is also very good, there's nothing to write about, huh."

Why don't you write if you have nothing to write about? Why are you humming?Yang Sheng remembered the sand sculpture sentence he heard before, and wrote on the note: "Hum again, and I will give you my life."

Afraid that his life would not be valued by others, Yang changed his voice and said, "I'll give you all the sugar."

11-year-old Xia Zang wrote a thick diary about 11-year-old Yang Sheng.

He kept this as a secret, and locked it in the hole in the corner of the coded lock, but Yang Sheng, who was almost full at Seventeen, pushed through the debris and found it again.

The 11-year-old Xia Zang will never know that he will love and love his little hamster so much in a few years.

And 17-year-old Yang Sheng knew that even a few years ago, he was loved and liked by Xia Zang.

On Yang Sheng's 11th birthday, Xia Zang wrote: "I don't know what to say to the little hamster. I just said happy birthday and repeated it with Xia Man and the others. It's not good."

So is this the reason you told me the other day "study hard and make progress every day"?

I was really speechless.

"You can take a look at the note, if you are really curious." Xia Zang said.

Haoyue was saying "Not so good", Jiang Yanxu yelled again, "Study hard, make progress every day, I really have you, Brother Xia!"

"I can't help it." Xia Zang shaved helplessly, "I don't know what to say to him."

The author has something to say:

I am really looking forward to what Yang Sheng will think after reading the "Rose Planting Manual".

Xia Zang: I advise you to be kind!
