Chapter 19 Pick Him Up

It takes about four hours to walk from Hongshan Town to Qinghe Village, and when Pei Xingzhi left the town, it was already around seven o'clock.

Even though Pei Xingzhi walked very fast, it took him more than three hours to reach the vicinity of Qinghe Village.

There is a river passing by the entrance of Qinghe Village, so a stone bridge was built at the entrance of the village. There are many stone piers on the bridge. Meng Wanqiu sat on the stone piers, relying on the quiet night, holding a flashlight to shine on the water surface, and seeing a few big fish swimming by the bottom of the river occasionally, her eyes lit up.

Meng Wanqiu didn't know whether Pei Xingzhi would come back or not. After all, it was so late, and it was normal for Pei Xingzhi to stay in the town.

But since she was out, Meng Wanqiu was not sleepy now, so she would wait for Pei Xingzhi here, just in case she ran into him.

It doesn't matter if you can't touch it, just treat it as a fun thing. Although it's a bit strange to go out to play at night, Meng Wanqiu doesn't care.

After arriving near Qinghe Village, Pei Xingzhi didn't slow down, but walked faster, and his mental activities became more frequent.

He began to wonder if Meng Wanqiu would leave a light for him, whether she would wait for him on purpose, and even recalled the scene he saw at noon. Pei Xingzhi, who had not felt the heat all the way, blushed at this moment.

Although it was dark, Pei Xingzhi could feel the hotness on his face, which spread all the way to his whole body. The cool breeze made this feeling more obvious.

Pei Xingzhi, who was walking with his head down, was suddenly swept by a bright light at the end of his eyes. He stopped and looked forward in confusion.

At the entrance of the village, a beam of light appeared in the sky, and it was still shaking, as if someone was holding a flashlight and shining it randomly in the sky.

Who would be at the entrance of the village so late at night, still playing with a flashlight? In Meng Mu's words, this person is definitely a prodigal son.

Could it be that Meng Yanchun and his men are out catching eels again, Pei Xingzhi guessed.

However, as Pei Xingzhi approached, the person playing with the flashlight became clearer and clearer in his sight.

Because there was still a distance, Pei Xingzhi had farsightedness, and he could only see someone sitting on the bridge pier, holding a flashlight and shining it in the sky.

As if noticing Pei Xingzhi, the person suddenly shone the flashlight on Pei Xingzhi.

The strong light came, Pei Xingzhi raised his hands to cover his eyes, but heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"You're back?"

Bang--

The things he bought fell to the ground, but because they were packed in advance, they didn't fall apart.

Pei Xingzhi's body froze, and his arms were placed in front of his eyes, motionless, like a rusty robot.

At this moment, Pei Xingzhi's mind was in a mess.

Why did she appear here? What was she doing running out in the middle of the night? Was she here to take him home? How long had she waited for him? Why did she wait for him?

Did she know what her actions meant to him?

"Ah, something fell?" Meng Wanqiu walked over with a flashlight, wondering if Pei Xingzhi had run out of energy, and went over to help him get it.
