Chapter 3 Huaxiang Town

Huaxiang Town Another bike like that! letter thought. Really, these days, I always see that kind of bicycle, the handlebars, pedals, rear frame, and even the bell are yellowish orange.Riding on it was a girl about Shin's age. These girls on orange bicycles all had glowing eyes, whistled, and their hair fluttered gently in the wind.It's a group of very cute girls, Xin couldn't help but want to chase after them.However, the letter told the students in the class, but the students were surprised: "Orange bicycle? Why haven't I seen it once!" I told my mother, and my mother also said:

"Really? I didn't see it!" Believable still want to: Could it be that orange bicycles have suddenly become popular recently?Could it be that among girls, it is very popular to go for an outing on an orange bicycle... The first time Xin saw an orange bicycle was at the beginning of autumn. Yes, that was about two weeks ago. It was a very blue sky, very high, with a dry wind blowing, and the surroundings were filled with a sweet fragrance of flowers that made people want to cry. Ah, what kind of flower scent is this?Believe in order to think while walking.Xin still clearly remembers that it was a kind of itchy fragrance that warmed his chest.Once the chest is full, there will be bursts of pain at an indescribable place, and then, a certain instrument hidden somewhere in the body, suddenly, it sounds like a sob.

It has been like this since I was very young. In autumn, when I smell this fragrance, I will feel like a violin in my heart... Shin remembered that he had known the scent since he was a baby. "Hello!" At this time, with a "whoosh", a bicycle passed from the left side of the letter. It is an orange bicycle.Riding on the car was a girl with long hair.The letter was startled, and stood still. Who is that... oh oh... who is it? Xin still didn't figure out who it was, the orange bicycle was already speeding straight, straight towards the direction of the setting sun, became smaller and disappeared.All that is left around me are the scent of flowers and the whistling of girls.

Since then, Shin has seen the orange bicycle again and again. Sometimes, I see two or three a day, and the one riding on the orange bicycle must be a girl. When they pass the letter, they will say hello: "Hello!" Immediately filled with the fragrance of that flower.Xin really wanted to leave his schoolbag and handbag behind and chase those bicycles! There are more and more orange bicycles every day. Ten days passed, and Xin saw three such bicycles in front of the mailbox on the corner of the street.They were also seen in front of the police station and around the school gate.I also saw a girl park her bicycle in front of the window of the shoe store, put one foot on the ground, and stare intently into the glass.I also saw a girl rushing out of the phone booth in a panic and jumping on the bicycle.No matter which bicycle it was, it turned a blind eye to the traffic lights and sped away in one direction.

"I really want the red shoes in that store!" "I want to eat grape cake!" "I want to call Feng, but I don't have 10 yuan coins!" Shin seems to have heard the whispers of the girls. At dusk that day, Xin was sent to go shopping by bicycle. When he heard girls with long hair shouting "Hello" to him and passing him, he thought, I must follow you today! "Wait! Going there?" Shin desperately rode his bicycle. "Hey, where are you going?" However, the girls didn't even look back, their thin feather-like skirts were swaying in the wind, and gradually went away.

After he reacted, another orange bicycle passed by the side of the letter.The girl let out a "hiss" and whistled. Humph Credibility kicks up the pedals God, I must check to find out! At the intersection, another orange bicycle lightly flashed out from the side, joining Xin in the same row.Not long after walking, another car came out from the alley, and another car flashed out... Wow... the letter is dazzled.What's the matter today?So many bicycles pouring out at once— Yes, when Xin came to his senses, he was surrounded by a large group of orange bicycles.Orange seat, yellow handlebars, yellow rear frame, even the tires and chains are orange!These orange bicycles no matter where they are, are like a large group of red dragonflies, flowing in the same direction.

Xin trembled violently. It was at this time that Xin's heart was suddenly filled with the sobbing sound of the violin, which was full of sorrow and joy, and Xin couldn't help closing his eyes.At this time, a girl beside him whispered to him: "Come with us?" Xin opened his eyes, looked at the girl's face, hummed, and nodded. The girl was chubby and white, like a puppet I had seen somewhere before.However, once Xin's eyes moved away from her face, he couldn't remember what kind of face she had. Xin turned his face away again and coughed, but the girl from just now had already run to the front of Xin, and the girls behind were lined up with Xin again.From the side view, she is also chubby and white, like a puppet.A faint fragrance wafted from the antiseptic on a beautiful face——No matter how many times I’ve seen these girls, I couldn’t remember what they looked like in a blink of an eye. Dozens of them rode the same bicycle. , is rushing somewhere.

At this moment, the letter has entered into their hearts.Xin suddenly became frightened. "Such a large group of people, where are you going?" Despite pretending to be calm, Shin stammered a question. A girl behind answered him: "Go down from this slope, keep going down, go down as far as you can, go down to the place where you can't go down!" "Down to a place where you can't go down, then, what are you doing?" The girl suddenly said with a careless emphasis: "It's over...but..." The letter stuttered again, and this time, the girl in front said:

"Let's go back to the sky! You will go up to the sky with a light touch. So, the violin in your heart is over!" "The violin... ah, that's the thing!" Xin nodded slightly, so the girls around Xin nodded together and said: "yes!" "No matter who it is, everyone has a violin in their heart. Today is the last day that the violin will be played." "Ahh..." Xin nodded several times.Then Shin began to pedal suspiciously.Stepping and stepping, some of the memories of autumn in this way came to my mind. The day when my sister was sick and hospitalized.

The days when Hiroko next door went to a far, far place. A happy day riding a bike for the first time. The day I found a kitten in the field. No matter which day it is, it is the day when autumn begins.Then, the violin of faith played. Xin, among a large group of girls, continued to step on the pedals wholeheartedly. Even so, people walking on the street can't see the letter, right?Also, you can't see the girls' bike group, right? No one had an incredulous expression on their faces.Whether it is a person or a car, as usual, it walks and stops slowly.However, the wind that blows across the street is a sweet orange wind that makes people breathless, Xin knows it.And Xin also knows that the further you go along this road, the stronger the fragrance of flowers will be.

——This year is really fragrant! ——Yes, when the wind blows, you can smell it hundreds of meters ahead. ——The scent of osmanthus is too strong. Suddenly, the sound of such a conversation reached Xin's ears. It was the voice of people carrying shopping baskets and waiting for traffic lights at the intersection. Ah, osmanthus! The letter finally remembered the name of the flower. Osmanthus, yes, Osmanthus osmanthus! The letter was embalmed, as if I finally remembered the name of a kind person, and I breathed a sigh of relief.The girls around Xin did indeed have friendly faces. "I know! I finally know who you are! I finally know what flower essence you are!" Shin shouted.At this time, it was time to go downhill.It's a gentle, long slope—ah, Xin thought, this is the way downhill to the park. Xin and the girls' bicycles slid down the slope automatically. Di ding ding, a girl rang the car bell.So, one after another, the other girls rang their car bells, and the car bells rang together on the road.Not to be outdone, Shin rang the car bell and shouted loudly: "Osmanthus, Osmanthus, Where does the wind go? " So the girls sang in one breath: "The far end of the sky is higher than the moon and the stars." At this time, the ramp suddenly became steeper.The brakes on Shin's bicycle failed. "Wow, it's dangerous!" Shin exclaimed. The girls' bicycles also rushed down the slope at full speed.Hair was blown up by the wind.The transparent clothes burst open.But the girls seemed to be still whistling, their eyes seemed to be smiling faintly, and their faces seemed to turn rosy with excitement. Danger... Danger, danger! Xin squeezed the handlebar's hand, sweating coldly.Below the slope, unexpectedly, is an earth embankment in the park.Shin and the girls were sliding towards there at an astonishing speed. Ah, hit it, hit it... He closed his eyes uncomfortably.at this time.With a bang, Shin's body suddenly bumped into something.Like a puppet, he was thrown into an open field. It was as quiet all around.Beside Shin, cosmos swayed like a dream. Where's my bike?What about the girls? Xin just turned his back to the sky and thought. Just then, he heard the voices of the girls: "Goodbye!" That sound, like pattering rain, fell from the high, burning sky. "Hey?" Xin suddenly sat up and looked up to the sky.Then, he took a deep breath. Countless orange bicycles are flying into the sky at this moment.Floating and floating, like countless balloons being blown into the sky. "Hey--" Letter shouted. "Where are you going?" Just listen to the girls singing in unison: "Far to the end of the sky, Worse than the moon, than the stars. This year, it's over. " The voice gradually died down.Then, even the figures of the girls turned into little red dots, and finally disappeared into the clouds. After that, Shin sat on the grass in the dark park for a long, long time.There is still a fragrance of flowers all around. Xin dragged the broken bicycle, slowly out of the park, and climbed up the slope. There are several laurel trees pruned into circles on the road.Under the tree, small orange flowers fell all over the ground like scattered powder.The densely packed small flowers look so bright on the dark ground at dusk. “This year, it’s over. That’s it.” For some reason, Xin let out a sigh of relief. He had a feeling that the girls were free at last.
