Summer in the north is not as ambiguous as in the south, and it rarely arrives lukewarm.It is like a fierce widow, who just waits for the door of the season to open, and then jumps out impatiently. A few days ago, the Maozang Plateau on the upper reaches of the river was still bitingly cold, and the Zamu River, a tributary, was still covered with layers of ice and snow. The ice was white, blue, and green. If you were lucky, you could still see one or two A piece of red, colorful, truly eye-catching.The grassland is more like a faded blanket, unrecognizably spread out in the cold.At the end of the grassland, at the junction of heaven and earth, Maya Snow Mountain is still covered with ice and snow.The thousand-mile snow line is like a white ribbon, and like a dazzling khata around the neck of the sky, spreading unsteadily towards the extreme west.In the blink of an eye, summer is here, and before the grassland has time to get rid of the chill, it is wrapped in a heat wave again.

The northwest wind is also very strong at this time, blowing the yellow sand and the breath of the river, roaring and roaring, blowing from the distant Tengger Desert, the wind and dust make the world look different . People on both sides of the river have already entered the working season.It's just that the endless dust spoils people's mood.When the sand and dust started, the sky became another color, and the mountains also became another color.Even this river has become misty and drowsy, and it does not show the ferocity of its vigorous and endless running.Some people say that the river is dumb. From a certain day onwards, people will no longer hear its beautiful singing or roaring sound. In the middle of the night, it will make a strange whining cry, which is low and hoarse. , is desperate.It is also said that the holy Hada was defiled by evil hands, the river god was profaned, the horse tooth snow mountain was angry, and would no longer shed sweet milk, and the earth suffered revenge.

This river is called the Shiyang River. It originates from the Qilian Mountains in the south. It flows all the way from the grassland to the valley, and then out of the valley. After turning a few turns, it flows into the Badain Jaran and Tengger Desert in the north. The river and the desert are connected, blended and confronted in this way. No one knows how many years the river has been flowing.No one knows how many years the wind in the desert has been blowing.Qilian Mountain turns green and turns yellow, turns yellow and turns green.The prayer flags on the Maozang Grassland let the wind blow away one bunch after another, and let the wind blow back one bunch after another.Those small flags filled with scriptures or prayers of various colors flutter and sway between the earth and the sky, together with the silvery snow peaks and green carpeted meadows, exaggerating the beauty and aura of the river to the extreme.But in the lower reaches of the river, in the desert with long yellow sand, green is becoming more and more rare.People are praying for the patronage and love of the river god with unprecedented anxiety, fear and anxiety.The desert is full of green wolf-like eyes. They stare at the water upstream, hungry and thirsty, but there are puffs of wolf smoke in their hearts.On the Mao-Tibet Plateau, the "bawos", known as the patron saints of rivers and snow-capped mountains, are already active everywhere. The "bawo" all have red cloth wrapped around their heads, beads on their faces, and white cloth belts diagonally. They run between the plateau and the hinterland. Nest and take the gods Mo to remove the shackles of the pathogenic people and put their souls back..." The incarnations of these gods are more and more convinced that the souls of the river have been stolen by those greedy people. Haunted by demons, there is no cure.Their greed and shamelessness hurt the river god, making the river full of tears and trauma. The "Bawo" want to take the opportunity to run and pray, to help those hateful people expel the evil spirits and let their clean souls come back.When it is useless to do so, they will kneel by the river and pack the boiled beef and mutton, delicious ghee, wine and spotlessly clean water with "bangqiong" or leaves, together with hand-operated prayer wheels, prayer beads, Long knives, clothes, placed by the river, pointed to the food on the ground and said: "We have prepared so many things for you, take them away, and stop staring at our river. Our descendants, cattle and sheep, and this holy The grasslands are inseparable from this holy river."

While the "Bawo" were active, those Han people pretending to be "Benbo" were also wandering around.This is a group of people who took advantage of the chaos to rob, and they also possessed ghosts. The "baiwo" are in a hurry, the disaster of the river has reached a very serious level, their cattle and sheep are starving to death, large tracts of grassland are shrinking and disappearing, the water in the sacred river is getting less and less, and they have already fed They are gone.The white snow of Maya Snow Mountain and the glaciers under the snow mountain are being plundered by greedy people. The snow line is getting farther and farther away from them, and they are almost invisible.

And in the distance, there are so many hungry mouths open... When He was sad, in the corner of Yinlu, the provincial capital, the beautiful woman Deng Chaolu was also sad. Deng Chaolu is not a "hands-on", nor is she pretending to be "Benbo". She is a researcher at the Institute of Hydrology and Water Resources of Northern University and a proud student of Qin Jizhou, a famous expert in hydrology and water resources.The Institute of Hydrology and Water Resources, which enjoys a high reputation in domestic academic circles, is a small two-story western-style building, a typical Russian-style building, located on the northwest side of Northern University, with green bricks and green tiles, very old.Behind the small building are tall and big trees, phoenix trees and others, and there is also a tree in front, which is very old, ancient locust tree, probably hundreds of years old.Looking from a distance, the roots are intertwined, bent and twisted, the trunk is corroded and hollow, and the bark is old and hard.When Deng Chaolu was studying for a master's degree, there was a heavy rain in this city called Yinlu, with lightning and thunder, which was very scary.Later, the thunder broke off the new branches that sprouted from the ancient locust tree, and killed a touch of green alive.Since then, Guhuai has never vomited new shoots, as if exhausted, and does not want to live anymore.Unexpectedly, this year's spring will start, and in February and March, a new bud will spit out tenderly, and it will grow wildly with all its strength.This is a good sign, and the people in the research institute were excited when they saw it.

Deng Chaolu was the first person to see the tender buds. She had just finished an academic paper that day, and she was in a very good mood. She ran to the courtyard to see the sky, but the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the clouds hit back. With her eyes, she came under the ancient locust tree, and finally saw this bud.Deng Chaolu was extremely excited, she thought, does this indicate that her life will have a new turnaround, will love be harvested in this year? But who would have imagined that her love died in this spring.Oh, love, every time I think of this word, Deng Chaolu bursts into tears, her heart seems to be torn open, and dozens of knives are stuck in it.A woman who is as beautiful as a flower and jade is a good season for love, but the love suddenly dies.The premature death was cruel and resolute, leaving no leeway, just like a seed buried deep in the ground, absorbed enough nutrients and prepared enough energy, just about to break out of the ground and grow vigorously, but was unexpectedly met with ruthless... Frost kills...

It was none other than her childhood friend and classmate Wu Ruohan who was also a graduate student majoring in hydrology and water resources. That day, Deng Chaolu accompanied her mentor Qin Jizhou back from scientific research activities in the Shiyang River Basin, and accidentally ran into her mentor's son and her senior Qin Yu in the research institute.Qin Yu seemed to have encountered something exciting that day, he looked very sunny, and the hatred for his father disappeared from his face for the first time.You know, that's his characteristic. The Qin family's father and son are enemies in the eyes of outsiders. The father can't see the son, and the son can't see the father even more. The father and son often quarrel over a trivial matter.When it was serious, Qin Jizhou smashed his son with a water glass, and Qin Yu was not a cheap lamp. Once, he even contradicted his father in front of so many people in the research institute, saying that what he hated most in his life was being Qin Jizhou's son.An angry Qin Jizhou fell headfirst and suffered a heart attack on the spot, but he walked away.Later, it was Deng Chaolu who called the ambulance and rushed the mentor to the hospital.The mentor Qin Jizhou has a bad heart and cannot be excited, but Qin Yu always makes his father excited.

It was a good day, Qin Yu was smiling, very cute, and he called his father so affectionately that Deng Chaolu was jealous after hearing it.Deng Chaolu has no father, not since she was born.The mother told her that her father died when she was born, and the rebels fought to death.Later, some people said that it was not a fight to the death, but a suicide, and he cut himself off from the people.In short, Deng Chaolu never met his father.Hearing someone call me dad, I feel jealous and envious, and occasionally cry.Without a father, a girl has no backbone, and without the god in her heart, she always looks weak. This weakness becomes another kind of beauty when it is more weak, and it always arouses a man's pity and pity when he inadvertently.Deng Chaolu is like this.

The Qin family father and son talked upstairs for a long time that day, but there was no quarrel, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.Later, the instructor called Deng Chaolu to tell her how to organize the materials in front of Qin Yu.Deng Chaolu looked at her mentor, and then at her senior brother, letting go of her hanging heart.Qin Yu also treated her very well that day, which is a rare thing.In this world, Qin Yu is considered to be the person who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade the most. He himself is eager to make women hurt him, so he is always cold to Deng Chaolu and rarely pays attention to him. Whether it's sarcasm or blow, it always lacks the sincerity or warmth that Deng Chaolu wants.But Deng Chaolu had no ambition, and the more Qin Yuyue was like this, the more fascinated she was, and the more she couldn't let him go.It really echoes the saying, one thing falls one thing, and your weakness is in my hands.Qin Yu was uncharacteristically that day, and suddenly became generous and enthusiastic to Deng Chaolu.Deng Chaolu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and was so overjoyed that she was almost moved and lost her composure.When she leaned over to listen to her instructor, Qin Yu was right behind her, inserting a sentence or two from time to time.Qin Yu is also engaged in this major, because he graduated earlier and has far more practical experience than Deng Chaolu, so he can also be called Deng Chaolu's teacher.Moreover, he has made achievements in this field, and with his status, he has a certain authority in speaking.When Qin Yu was speaking, Deng Chaolu felt his breath. It was a strange breath, as if it contained some kind of special code. Once he smelled it, he would become dizzy, lose his mind, and his brain would suffer from hypoxia. , becomes blank.Deng Chaolu almost lost his mind that day. When Qin Yu passed behind her, he accidentally touched her. It seemed to be a leg or an arm. It didn't matter, the important thing was that he touched her.A burst of numbness immediately rose up and spread throughout the body.The face facing the tutor immediately turned red, and his body heaved violently like a rising tide.The instructor gave her a strange look, then glared at the oily Qin Yu behind her.Qin Yu didn't care about his father's expression, as if he had a penetrating ability, he caught the changes in Deng Chaolu's expression and body in time.The voice said warmly: "Dad, you should arrange less work for my school girl. It's time for such a big girl to let her fall in love." Deng Chaolu was stunned suddenly, and his face turned red I don't know where to put it, but fortunately my back is facing him, otherwise, I would be so embarrassed.Just when her face was red, her ears were red and her heart was beating like a dozen rabbits, Qin Yu opened his mouth again and said, "Xiao Lu, I will take you out for a date some other day, and if my dad keeps restraining me like this, we, Xiao Lu, will all be fools." Miss."

These words stabbed Deng Chaolu, he dared to feel in his heart, she is a silly big sister.But Qin Yu's words still made her heart throb.Take me to love?Deng Chaolu was elated.It is said that women in love are stupid and their IQ is zero. In fact, women in secret love are even more stupid, with a negative IQ.Deng Chaolu has been secretly in love with Qin Yu for several years, and she only heard such a sentence today, so it's strange if she doesn't feel elated! However, misfortune happened soon.Deng Chaolu went out with Qin Yu that day, and she was very happy, I don't know how excited she was.Several times, she closed her eyes happily, feeling that the long-awaited moment was coming.The car took them through the city and across the Yellow River. Deng Chaolu saw a bar called "Romantic Xiaoxie", which was a popular place where lovers of men and women often go.Deng Chaolu's heart was beating wildly, before he entered the bar, his face was so red that there was nowhere to put it.Unexpectedly, after entering, she saw another face, Wu Ruohan was wearing a tight red dress, standing there with a peachy face.Seeing her, Wu Ruohan was startled, and Deng Chaolu was also startled. Qin Yu laughed loudly, pulled her over and said, "Xiaolu, bless us, Xiaohan and I have officially announced our relationship, are you first witness."

Like five thunderbolts, Deng Chaolu stood there stupidly on the spot! It's over, it's over before it even started.Before Deng Chaolu had time to express the feelings and longings that had been cherished in her heart for many years, she was poured out with a pot of cold water.That night she ran along the Yellow River for more than three hours, and stopped by the Yellow River several times, almost... A dead love, a rotting corpse that has never seen the light of day.This is a sentence Deng Chaolu wrote on the bank of the Yellow River with her finger, and her finger was bleeding that night. After that day, Deng Chaolu became another person. She was in a trance all day long, with a tired look on her face. She seemed to be destroyed, and she could no longer show vitality. She either worked crazily or sat in front of the window obsessively. He stared out the window motionlessly. Still outside the window. To the west of the ancient pagoda tree is a small garden, which was cultivated by the director Qin Jizhou himself. At that time, Qin Jizhou was still young and strong.Some plants that are not commonly seen in the city are planted in the garden, such as Populus euphratica, Haloxylon, red willow, and camel thorn, all of which come from the hinterland of the desert.At the western end is a grove of Chinese date trees, hundreds of trees are huddled together, decorating a landscape densely.Whenever the sand jujube flowers bloom, the tangy fragrance will float around, which can make the whole campus fragrant.Northern University is very large, occupying an area even larger than that of the Provincial Party Committee. In addition, the school has engaged in tertiary industry development over the years and purchased a lot of land from surrounding areas. Almost half of the northeast corner of Yinlu City is occupied by the school. . But what does this have to do with her?What Deng Chaolu thinks now is how she can escape from this place, this city that gave her humiliation and despair.Yes, humiliation.Deng Chaolu has already decided that she has suffered the greatest humiliation in the world. Qin Yu cruelly tore up her love in front of other women and asked her to bless them.He was so ruthless, he put his arm around Wu Ruohan and pulled her with the other, insisting on her presenting flowers and a toast to them.It was almost shameless to say: "Xiaolu, love is so beautiful, I only know now that with love, you are the happiest person in the world. Come on, let's toast to love!" After finishing speaking, he said, He actually kissed Wu Ruohan hard on the forehead. God, he actually kissed Wu Ruohan! For many nights, Deng Chaolu imagined that at a certain time, the Prince Charming in her heart would bow down to her affectionately and give her a precious kiss.For this reason, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep at night, almost shameless.But now, everything is broken, really broken.And that woman, Wu Ruohan! Deng Chaolu had to run away, he decided he didn't want to stay in the research institute any longer, because of his major, his hydrology and water resources.A woman can't even get love, so what ideals and career are in vain!Deng Chaolu cried, this was the second time she shed tears for that man.She thought of Qilian, Maozang Grassland, and that river, which was her home. Deng Chaolu was born in a place called Longfeng Gorge in the Qilian Mountains, where there is a reservoir. She grew up beside the reservoir when she was a child. Later, she went to the county town to study, and then went to the provincial capital Yinlu. After completing her master's, Ph.D., and doctoral studies, she had the opportunity to go abroad. Several institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom sent invitations to her, but her supervisor Qin Jizhou firmly refused, and Deng Chaolu herself did not have such a strong desire.Her ambition is in China, and to be more realistic, it is Qilian Province.She was born here and grew up here, and of course she wants to establish her ideal goal here.In this regard, Deng Chaolu is so different from other students. Others want to go abroad, but they don't want to come back.Deng Chaolu just didn't want to leave, not even the land in the northwest, and she seldom even thought about going to the south.Outsiders say that this is the credit of his mentor Qin Jizhou. Qin Jizhou is famous for his love of this land. He declined invitations from famous domestic universities several times and insisted on staying at Northern University. He politely declined.Of course he hoped that his disciples could also faithfully guard the land of Qilian like him.But love is one thing, staying behind is another.Deng Chaolu decided to stay because of Qin Yu.Men stick to their careers, women live and die for love.Whether vulgar or extreme, these two things cannot be escaped in life. Instructor Qin Jizhou didn't know that Deng Chaolu was in love, let alone that the female disciple loved his son deeply.This is an old-fashioned and stubborn old man, a full-fledged old pedant, with nothing but knowledge and the river in his mind, and his love is messed up. He has quarreled with his wife Chuya for half a lifetime, and now he is too lazy to quarrel. , some time ago resolutely moved to the small second floor to live, which is embarrassing. Now, as always, he wanted to wash Deng Chaolu's mind clean, and he would not allow anything in it except the river.Deng Chaolu's supervisor, Qin Jizhou, arranges all of Deng Chaolu's time fully. One scientific research project after another is waiting for her, and piles of scientific research materials and scientific research papers are waiting for her to sort out.This beautiful female doctor can't find time to fall in love at all, let alone the romance of the past and the moon.Deng Chaolu fell into a slump, and his mentor, Qin Jizhou, was not in a hurry, and still went his own way, numb to the extreme.He is like a person who does not eat fireworks in the world, and has always been indifferent to the marriage of his female disciples. He can't even remember that female disciples should fall in love and get married in addition to scientific research.In his mind, he belongs to that river, and everyone around him should belong to that river. This is a lunatic, and many people have said so about him.
