growing up

Chapter 50 Riding a Motorcycle

Gu Yuan found two lunch boxes, filled with some meat dishes and fresh vegetables.I took another handful of noodles and put them in the bag, and it was almost done.

Since Gu Yuan and the others aren't eating at home, it's too early for dinner.Grandma Gu didn't continue.

She went to the room to pack some snacks and fruits, carried them for Gu Yuan, and handed him the keys to the old house: "Go and ride the bike in the side house, a section of the path collapsed a few days ago, it's hard to walk. You go on the road by bike."

Gu Yuan and the others' current home is actually not far from their old house, and it only takes about [-] minutes to walk on the small road, but if they take the main road, they have to make a big detour, even if they ride a bicycle, it will take a lot of time.Although it is not a problem for the two of them to walk there, but after thinking about it, Gu Yuan listened to his grandmother and went to the side room to push the cart.

It is an old-fashioned motorcycle that is not too young, but Gu Yuan will maintain it from time to time when he comes back. Even though it is not young, it still looks very new.

Ling Chao and Gu Qingqing were reading comics together in the yard, talking and laughing very lively.He was still surprised for a while when he saw Gu Yuan pushing a motorcycle out.

"This?..." Ling Chao pointed to the car in Gu Yuan's hand with some doubts.

"We'll ride there in a while." Gu Yuan said.

"Riding a motorcycle? Far away?" Ling Chao asked.He heard that Grandma Gu also lived in the old house from time to time.Thinking that it should be nearby, why do you need to use a motorcycle?

"It's not far, but that road can't be walked, and it's quite a long way to take the main road." Gu Yuan replied.

"Ah." Ling Chao stood up and walked around the motorcycle: "You know how to ride?"

Gu Yuan glanced at him and said nothing.It was Gu Qingqing who answered: "Of course! My brother will be able to ride in the first day of junior high school. Brother Ling Chao, don't worry, my brother's riding skills are very good, and you won't fall."

Ling Chao really didn't expect them to ride a motorcycle. He had seen many motorcycles, but this was his first time riding a motorcycle.Of course, this time it was Gu Yuan who rode the bike, not him.

"You can!" Ling Chao suddenly felt eager to try.

Gu Yuan backed up the car, went upstairs to take down the two people's bags, and brought the packed food.

He took off the safety helmet hanging on the handle and handed it to Ling Chao, hung two bags of food on the front handle, and tied the two bags to the back, and sat on it with his long legs, watching Ling Chao go She tilted her neck back to signal him to get in the car.

"Leave now?" Ling Chao looked at grandma and Gu Qingqing who were standing aside. It was early now, and he felt that it would be impolite to leave right now.

"Well, I'll take you there for a walk." Gu Yuan didn't think about it.

Hearing what Gu Yuan said, Ling Chao actually wanted to be alone with Gu Yuan for a while.Although I have been drinking tea and chatting with Gu Yuan in the yard this afternoon, it must be the first time I have come to Gu Yuan's house, grandma will come back anytime, and Gu Qingqing is still asleep upstairs.

"Okay." Ling Chao didn't say much, grabbed Gu Yuan's shoulders and stepped up: "Grandma, Qingqing, then Gu Yuan and I will go there."

"Okay, you two pay attention to safety." Grandma Gu was a little conflicted, but Ling Chao wanted to go, so she could only agree: "This is the first time I come to the house, there is nothing to entertain you, and I have to live in the old house at night. I don't know if you are used to it or not."

"Grandma, don't say that, I like it very much. Didn't you prepare a lot of food for me?" Ling Chao said.

"Hey! Cheng Chengcheng, as long as you young people are happy. Go! Yuaner, please ride slowly." Grandma Gu said with a wave of her hand.

"Well, let's go then." Gu Yuan said and ignited the car.

"Brother Chao, please put on your hat." Gu Yuan turned to look at Ling Chao and said.

"Just one?" Ling Chao asked, looking at the sky blue hard hat in his hand.

"Well, no one is using it at home, so I bought one at the time." Gu Yuan said, "Put it on, and I'm leaving."

"You wear it, I don't need to sit in the back." Ling Chao said to put the hat on Gu Yuan's head.

Gu Yuan turned his body to avoid it: "Oh, don't push it, I don't need it, you can wear it."

Ling Chao sighed, feeling that the current scene is so hypocritical.He had no choice but to wear it by himself.

Seeing that he had finally put it on, Gu Yuan said "sit well", and the car left the yard with a bang and drove towards the road.

This is Ling Chao's first time riding a motorcycle. Gu Yuan's speed is neither fast nor slow. There is no gap at the end.When passing through a small pit, the car shook up and down twice, and the hand left the back.As a last resort, he could only lean on Gu Yuan's shoulder.And with such a movement, his body must move forward a little bit.

Ling Chao was wearing a helmet, and there was a little scratch on the transparent mask, and the hat blocked his view a lot. The most obvious view in front of him was the top of Gu Yuan's head.

The wind was blowing, and Gu Yuan's short body stood straight in. Ling Chao couldn't see his appearance. Even though there were two layers of thick clothes under his palm, he seemed to be able to feel the slight warmth coming from him.

The road ahead was much wider and flatter. Ling Chao felt that Gu Yuan was speeding up, and the trees on both sides of the road were retreating rapidly. Occasionally, there would be cars coming from the opposite side, and they would feel obvious resistance when they staggered.

This feeling is very special. Boys are naturally curious and impulsive about stimulating sports.He really wanted Gu Yuan to speed up, but for the sake of safety, he didn't say anything in the end.

After a long road, Gu Yuan turned down at a small intersection.Compared with the small road to Gu Yuan's house, this section of the road is much bumpier. There is no cement pavement, and the ground has been weathered for a long time.

Ling Chao could only grab Gu Yuan's shoulders hard to relieve the occasional bumps.

"Brother Chao, why don't you hold my waist." Gu Yuan said loudly in front.

"Ah?" Ling Chao was wearing a hat, and he was focusing on preventing him from falling off the car, so he didn't hear clearly.

Gu Yuan simply stopped: "You support my waist, the journey is quite long."

Ling Chao was at a loss, not quite understanding what Gu Yuan meant.

"If you press my shoulder so hard, my hands will become unstable." Gu Yuan explained looking at Ling Chao.

"Oh." Ling Chao suddenly felt a little hot on his face, and secretly scolded himself in his heart: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Gu Yuan started the car slowly: "Help yourself up."

Ling Chao moved his hand to Gu Yuan's waist to grab his clothes, but Gu Yuan pulled his wrist around his waist, then swayed left and right to find a flat place to drive out.

Gu Yuan's pulling motion was not much, the two of them were already close to each other, and Ling Chao had long hands and feet, so without even moving his body, he felt that one of his hands was being pulled by Gu Yuan.

This half-hugging posture looks really intimate.Gu Yuan held the front of the bike and concentrated on riding, without thinking much at all, but knew that the road ahead was not easy, and wanted Ling Chao to sit more stably.

But Ling Chao was completely different. At the moment he was pulled, it was as if a firework exploded in his mind. There was a bang, and even the sound of the wind could not be heard, only the crackling sound of the fireworks exploding.

One sound after another.

It's not that he and Gu Yuan had no close contact.That time in the hospital before, the time of that hug was not short.But now, the mood is completely different.He felt that if he took off his hat now, his face would be very red.

It wasn't until Gu Yuan really failed to avoid a big pit, and the motorcycle bumped violently twice along with the pit, that Ling Chao came back to his senses.

Huan in front instinctively grasped Gu Yuan's clothes tightly with his fingers, unconsciously pulled him into his arms with force, and the other hand that had been placed on his waist also moved forward.

So be it.

Just hold it.

In fact, I really like this feeling, don't I?

This road is indeed as Gu Yuan said, not only uneven, but also very long.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ling Chao felt his whole body go numb, and Gu Yuan finally stopped.

"Here we are." Gu Yuan stopped the car and said.

Ling Chao still held Gu Yuan in the previous posture, only reacted when he heard his voice, and with some reluctance he let go of the hands holding Gu Yuan's waist and got out of the car.

Outside a fenced-in mud hut where they parked.There are no other houses around, only similar houses more than ten meters away.

Gu Yuan got out of the car and pushed open the fence, and walked in with Ling Chao. There was a dirt path leading directly to the front of the house. There should be vegetable fields on both sides, but nothing was planted, and there were some withered weeds scattered here and there.

The house is indeed very old, made of yellow adobe bricks.The roof is still gray tiles.Above the gate hung two faded lanterns.

The surrounding area was quiet and quiet. There were many trees planted behind the house, and the branches had already protruded beyond the roof.

There was an old-fashioned brass lock on the gate, and Gu Yuan walked over to open it: "Wait a minute, I'll push the car in."

After Gu Yuan pushed the car to a corner and put it away, and took off the things he brought, he followed Ling Chao into the house.

The house was empty, with little furniture left.On the wall directly opposite the entrance, there is a large portrait of a prostitute, the background color is almost faded, and it looks like it has been pasted there for many years.

Gu Yuan took Ling Chao to the next room, and Ling Chao saw the big kang with nothing on it.

"Let's sleep here tonight." Ling Chao pointed to the big kang and asked Gu Yuan.

"En." Gu Yuan put the things in his hand on the kang and said, "I'll clean it up first, grandma probably hasn't been here for a long time."

Gu Yuan took a broom from the cabinet, jumped onto the kang and cleaned it slowly, then went to the well behind to fetch water, and wiped the kang clean.

"I'll go and light up the fire first, and I'll make the bed later." Gu Yuan tidied up the kang and got down.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ling Chao said expectantly.

Ling Chao had never done such a thing as starting a fire. He watched Gu Yuan take some paper and light it first, and then put some grass on it. After the grass burned, he took some thin branches and put it on. Slowly add a little thicker firewood, and finally put the coal in.

It seemed a simple matter, but Gu Yuan did it extremely seriously.Normally, Ling Chao only saw him serious in school.Now watching him squatting there to start the fire, squinting his eyes to avoid the smoke, and keeping an eye on the fire in the stove, his concentration is extremely charming.
