"I don't even admit that I've met." Shao Wei broke down in pain and hatred, and beat his head with his hands.After crying for a while, she gradually calmed down. It seemed that Liu Wanfang was by her side. After thinking about it, she was really suffering too much, and it was all caused by the Japanese devils.At this time Yao Qiuer came in and said, "Don't turn on the light yet!" Turning on the light, the dim light illuminated everything in the room, making it even more desolate.Yao Qiu'er said: "I saw her go out with a bag. There is a car to pick it up, so why don't you go find it?" Shao Wei held his head in both hands and said for a long time: "It's useless, even if someone keeps it, the heart is already gone." Let's go." Qiu Er pouted and said, "It's too spineless! I have never seen her as a complete person, and the few clothes she wears are enough to make people laugh for a long time." Shao Wei looked up at her and said : "What's so ridiculous about the clothes you're wearing, who looks like the two of you—" Before he finished speaking, tears rolled down his face.Qiuer adjusted the old thin woolen jacket on her body, looked superior, and said, "Common clothes and vegetarian food are very valuable." Seeing no answer, she said, "I know where she has gone. Who still has a car now?" It’s not that Zhu——” Shao Wei stood up and interrupted her, saying, “Thank you, Mrs. You.” Qiu Er didn’t create any disturbance, and exited unhappily.

Yao Qiuer returned to the room and discussed the matter with You Jiaren again.Qiuer said: "I said the clothes she was wearing were ridiculous, but Shao Wei didn't take it seriously." "Of course he thinks it's cute, does a dog think there's anything better than dung!" The two laughed for a while, making fun of Liu Wanfang's usual speech and behavior. After a while, You Jiaren remembered Shakespeare's argument about women, and recited "Frailty, the name is woman!" (weak, your name is a woman) casually.They suddenly became interested, and the two went to see a movie at Nansheng Cinema.The title of the movie is "Midnight Love".It is about a middle-aged man and woman who met on the train and fell in love with each other. Although it was short, it was very hot.After the movie ended, I casually went to a small restaurant for dinner.Qiuer then wondered whether Liu Wanfang would come back. "That would be even more ridiculous." You Jiaren said while gnawing on a chicken bone, the two of them were as pure as they were in the clouds.

You Jiaren is a part-time lecturer in several universities, and often has odd jobs of translation. Among his colleagues, their life is relatively easy, but Yao Qiuer's hands are getting rough day by day.This weekend, during a recital held at Xia Zhengsi's home, some people talked about the situation of the war and said that the school's relocation was inevitable.Some people said that after receiving letters from family members in Tianjin and Shanghai, the occupied places are quiet.Yao Qiuer's heart skipped a beat.Xia Zhengsi recited "August Night" in French, which was a passage that Ling Xueyan planned to read but didn't read. Everyone was amazed when they heard it.You Jiaren softly said in French: "Quelle sensible! (Be passionate!)" Although the voice was soft, the whole room could hear it. Xia Zhengsi walked up to You Jiaren and asked solemnly: "You, what are you talking about!" You Jiaren said: "I didn't say anything." Because You Jiaren was too mean and hurtful, and usually lacks popularity, this time he spoke rudely in public.When it was his turn to recite, four or five people withdrew.

That night, Yao Qiuer said beside his pillow: "I have an idea." You Jiaren said: "Freedom of speech is the basic content of human rights." How about going back to Tianjin? I don’t know when the days of escaping here will come to an end.” You Jiaren pondered and said, “It’s okay to consider. I hate these people in the department. They have opinions on me. Maybe they will fire me next semester. "Qiu Er opened his eyes wide in the dark: "Will those people fire you? Who can learn as much as you!" Jia Ren stroked Qiu Er's hand and said, "However, Mr. Meng will protect me. Maybe it's better for us to go first. Life is too hard." Qiuer said: "Tianjin's family business is enough to live on. The Japanese also want order. We can close our doors and study." You Jiaren was silent.

Another time, You Jiaren had a dispute with Jiang Fang and Wang Dingyi because of several different views on the English translation of "Nine Songs".Different opinions could have been discussed, but You Jiaren said many mocking and harsh words, which aroused discussion.Someone said behind his back: "You Jiaren thinks too highly of himself and doesn't take people seriously." Everything is considered a talent, the more frivolous the more fashionable." This word reached Fuzhi's ears, and Fuzhi smiled and said that he was still responsible for teaching on weekdays, and recently he wrote a few articles on textual research, although there was nothing new. Thoughts, still working hard.Because Mr. Meng spoke, the discussion gradually subsided, but You and Yao's ambitions did not decrease.

After a while, You Jiaren and Yao Qiuer were walking by the green lake, feeling depressed, when they suddenly saw a woman walking towards them, wearing a goose-yellow silk robe and a short gray wool cape, the attire was very eye-catching, Looking again, it was actually Liu Wanfang.Liu Wanfang walked over quickly, she looked much whiter and plumper. "Mr. You, Mrs. You." She greeted tenderly.Qiuer was very happy, half curious and half concerned, took Wanfang's hand, and asked repeatedly: "How are you doing, where have you moved?" Wanfang was quite pleased, "But it's better than living in Mean Alley." According to You Jiaren's suggestion, the three of them walked to the Huxin Pavilion and sat down.Wanfang said: "When I left, I was in a disturbed mood. I didn't say goodbye to you. I thought we would meet again. You see, this is not a meeting." We talked for a while.It turned out that the person Liu Wanfang lived with was not Zhu Yanqing, but a friend of Zhu Yanqing's. His wealth was much smaller, and although he could not call slaves, he was well-fed and had everything he wanted.Seeing her coming out alone, Qiu Er guessed that her status was that of a concubine. Wanfang seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said, "My husband doesn't have a regular wife, so you don't have to worry about that, anyway, I don't want to live the old life anymore. Yes, at that time, I couldn’t even bear to use soap to wash clothes. My hands are like pig’s claws, and now I finally look a little human.” He stretched out his hand, smooth and rosy, with a jade bracelet on one hand, and frostbite on the back of the hand scars. "The battle situation is tight, will the school move?" "I don't know yet." Qiuer replied, looking at Jiaren. "If you run away again, you won't be able to live. If I were you, I would have gone back to Tianjin. It would be much more comfortable than here." While talking, a rickshaw stopped by the side of the road. Wanfang smiled and said, "This is our He will look for the chartered car." Standing up, he hesitated to speak.Qiu'er waited for her to ask about Shao Wei's situation, but she didn't ask, and didn't leave her address to contact, so she bid farewell and boarded the car.

Here You Jiaren and his wife watched the car turn a corner, and Yao Qiuer said, "It's been a long time since I took a rickshaw." fourth quarter Young people have their news too.One day at dinner, Hezi said, "I heard that Master Yin is back, it was Yin Xiaolong who told me about it." One day, Mei came back from school and walked up the steep slope, two people came down from the top, one was Master Yin, and the person next to him was actually Tan Taiwei.Weiwei was busy with homework, so she didn't come to Lameilin for a while, "Meng Lingji!" Master Yin shouted loudly before approaching, "We just went to Lameilin." She has also grown up, and her wildness is much restrained. Yes, the skin and eyes are radiant. "How long have you been back?" Mei asked. "It's only about ten days," the master replied, "I'm going to school in Chongqing! I came back to school this semester, a few days late, but it doesn't matter, I have already registered." Wei Wei said: "There is no one in Lameilin, and they are not at home. " "Let's go back now!" Mei held up the key.They climbed up the steep slope, talking all the way.Dashi said that she also went to Qingyun University, and said proudly: "I am a free person now." Later, Mei learned that her family's policy had changed, and Wang Tian's main task was not to take care of her.When I reached the top of the slope, I met Zhezi and two classmates coming back from another road, holding a roll of paper, saying that they were going to publish a poster.Back home, Zygote and his classmates drew pictures at the dinner table.Mei waited and sat down on the rattan chair in front of the room.The Dashi asked about the situation of Mei's school, and listened impatiently. He interrupted several times, saying that she had to transfer to another school and needed to stay a grade. "It doesn't sound good to repeat a grade," she said solemnly, "but Tantai Wei said it's okay." Wei Wei said: "Maybe it's important to others, but it's okay to you. Many things are okay to you." Scientists look down on them.” The two were talking, but Mei gradually couldn’t keep her mouth shut, and went into the room to read Zygote’s poster.Zygote is painting the header.The two classmates were very attentive in drawing the layout and writing the subtitles.After watching for a while, he came out again.Master Yin said: "Don't run away. You are all in Kunming. I just came back. It seems that I know Tantai Wei much better." Mei smiled and said, "I'm just wondering." The master said: " How about we go out and play?" There are two days of spring break this week, so I have time.Mei thought about it, said, "I'm afraid of being bitten by a snake", looked at the master and laughed.The master said: "Don't talk about the baby's house. Tantai Wei, where do you want to go? It's better to go far away." Wei Wei asked Mei, and Mei said she didn't know.Wei pondered and said, "I don't have spring break. It just so happens that this Saturday's experiment will be moved to Thursday night. There is enough time. Let's go to Stone Forest." Mei clapped her hands and said, "Really, I haven't been to Stone Forest for so many years." Zygote, he said he wanted to participate in a model airplane show, but he couldn't go.Wei goes to the banker to inform that Wu Cai wants to go out with Dai La, so Wu Cai happily attends.

At that time, the transportation to Shilin was very inconvenient. I took the train to Lunan first, and the driving time was in the evening.Wu Yin, Wei Wei, Mei and Da Shi happily boarded the train with backpacks on their backs.There are several rows of seats for two people in the car, four people can sit opposite each other, and some seats like benches. There are not many passengers, so the four people chose the window seats, and the two girls sat by the window.The bell rang for a long time without seeing the car.A passenger said, this is waiting for someone.After a while, the car drove away, and the man said to himself again: "The person who was waiting is here."

It is the warm spring and the flowers are blooming, all kinds of unknown flowers rushing towards the face along the way, large peach blossoms are like snow, and the top of the tree is condensed with a touch of red, as if wearing a small hat.Mei Fu looked at the changing scenery in front of the car window, admired in his heart, and commented: "I often hear about the great rivers and mountains, but I didn't think about it carefully before. Now that I think about it, it's wonderful to use the word 'great' to describe it. .Du Fu's poem said, 'The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are there, and the city is full of spring vegetation'. The mountains and rivers are always there and always good. But because the country is broken, the scenery shown is different." The flowers are splashing with tears, and the birds are frightened." Wu Yin said: "Mei said these words like a female pedant, and I don't know when she will say such things." The master said: "Meng Ling has already , someone will take notes for you! I wish someone would take notes for me." As she spoke, she moved closer to Weiwei, and Mei raised her head and smiled at Wuyin.After driving for a long time, the sky darkened.Most of the people in the car took up their seats, some were lying down, some were leaning against each other, and it gradually became quiet, except for the rumble of the car.Mei felt that the voice seemed to be coming from a distance, and at some point the master had fallen asleep leaning on Weiwei's shoulder. "Mei, you should sleep too!" Wu Yin whispered, "I'll go over there." He put away his backpack, made a pillow for Mei, and went to the other side of the carriage.It was inconvenient for Mei to yell loudly, so he had to let him lean over and fell asleep immediately.After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he woke up suddenly and saw Weiwei and Dashi still in their original positions. Worried that there was no place to sleep for no reason, he went to the car to have a look.There were many people in the carriage, and finally walked to the door, seeing Wu Yin standing outside the door, the night was dark, his figure was hazy, he must be very tired.Opening the door, there was a gust of cold wind, and he said: "Zhuang Wuyin, you are going to catch the cold." Without turning around, Wuyin said, "Is this a newly invented name?" Mei walked out, and the two leaned against the railing, neither talking .

The train gradually entered the hilly area, ups and downs, the body swayed, the mountains on both sides rushed towards it like monsters, and retreated behind in a blink of an eye.Wu Yin asked: "What are you thinking about?" Mei looked at the mountains that were rushing back and forth, and said, "I didn't think about anything." One mountain flashed past, and another mountain. "What about you, what are you thinking?" Mei raised her head and raised her eyelids, a pair of agile pupils flickered in the night.He didn't answer for no reason, and after a long while, he said: "I thought—" Suddenly the car body shook violently, making a loud noise, and the car stopped.

"What's the matter, what's the matter!" The people in the carriage ran out, and no one knew what was going on.Someone jumped out of the car and ran back and forth a few steps, but nothing happened. After a while, the car police came and told everyone not to walk around.Wu Yin led Mei back to her seat, saw Weiwei and Dashi sitting and talking, and said that when they were about to go out to find them, there were too many people, so they had to sit and wait. "It's better to sit and wait." Wu Yin said.So they all sat down.Weiwei said that she was a little hungry, so she took out the breakfast for the next day. The four sandwiches were prepared by the master, and everyone ate them with gusto.Instead of worrying about parking, they find it fun.About an hour later, there was still no movement. Some passengers said that this car will not leave, so let's go by ourselves and get off.After some time, I realized that there was something wrong with the bridge in front of me, and it couldn't be repaired in a few hours. "Let's go to Yangzonghai!" The master was full of enthusiasm. "Going?" Wei Wei asked. "Go to the village ahead, maybe some people have horses." "I like to ride horses! But I don't know how to do it." Mei felt a little regretful.Wei Wei said: "It doesn't matter, we are all riders. Probably the best is Wucao." The master said: "Who said, I think you are the best." She thinks that Tan Taiwei is the first in everything. One, that serious look made everyone laugh. At this time, the morning light had already appeared in the distant sky, and most of the people in the car had left.The four of them got out of the car and didn't know where to go. They found out that the nearest village was more than ten miles away, and they needed to cross a hill.A few passengers who looked like villagers walked up the mountain, cursing all the way, meaning that the money was collected in their pockets instead of repairing the bridge.In addition, some people advised him to talk less, "walls have ears".He looked at Wu Yin and the others, they obviously didn't come to this area often.Several people lowered their voices and walked away quickly.The road is difficult to walk, almost no road.As the sky grew brighter, they suddenly found themselves in a red light.The sun peeks half its face from behind another mountain.Their bodies were all dyed red. This was not just the sunlight, but the expansion of the land under their feet. The red land was also emerging from the night. "How pretty!" Mei exclaimed.Large and small stones were drilled out of the red earth, and many wild flowers were drilled out of the cracks in the stones, all of which had a faint light.Dashi grabbed Weiwei's hand and jumped up, saying: "I often go out to play, but I have never seen such a heaven and earth." At this moment, Mei found that she had been dragged away by Wu Yin, no wonder she was very relaxed. .Down the mountain, the hills cut the sky out of lace and blocked the view. Mei felt that her heart was so wide that the scenery in front of her could not fill it.She looked at Wu Yin with a smile, and Wu Yin also looked at her with a smile.They have one idea in common, fly up, fly high, and take a look at farther, farther places. The village is very small, and the blooming woody flowers are clustered in front of the gate and behind the house.As soon as the smoke started to rise, several families opened their doors.A few snivel-nosed children ran out to watch.A woman came out from behind the woody flowers with a wooden comb in one hand and her hair in the other.Mei thought of Longwei Village and Zhao Er's family, and felt that the people in front of her were very kind.They said they were going to ride a horse.The woman had a horse in her house, and went to another house to make money, and she still combed her hair all the way.The horses here have no saddles, but only an old blanket. They chose three horses, but they couldn't choose a fourth horse.Wuyin said: "Anyway, Mei doesn't know how to ride, so just sit on my horse." The master said that she didn't want to ride either, and asked Weiwei to take her to ride.So only two horses were used, followed by a groom.With the sound of hooves, he left the village.The master thought the horse was walking slowly, so he asked Wei Wei to beat the horse. Wei Wei said: "It is too heavy to carry two people, so we have to beat it!" After walking for a while, the master still thought it was too slow.The groom said, "Sit down!" With a lash of the whip, the horse spread its hooves and threw the other horse off.The people on this horse are not too slow. They recite the poems of the British poet Wordsworth along with the sound of their hooves, "Looking at thousands of flowers at a glance, shaking their heads and dancing."He recited the poems of Coleridge, Keats, etc. here and there, and for no reason he could recite much more than Mei.Mei said: "Aunt Zhuang said that you can recite the whole book of "Macbeth". But I have never heard you recite it." Wu Yin said: "It's so strange to be able to recite some books." Seeing a clump of purple flowers not far away, Jumping off the horse to pick it, the horse continued to move forward, ignoring Mei's orders, and Mei shouted anxiously: "Brother Zhuang, come quickly!" Why is it Brother Zhuang again?" Handing the flowers to Mei, he jumped on the horse and walked slowly, feeling that the road was too short.The horse went to a high ground, and suddenly a large lake appeared, blue and bright, as if a piece of Kunming's sky had been cut off and spread on the ground.There are many trees beside the water, and the crowns of the trees with luxuriant branches are connected, which seems to be walkable.At this time, Wei's horse came running back, "Yang Zonghai, Yang Zonghai!" The master cheered all the way, rushed up the small slope, and stood side by side with them.The groom followed up panting, pointing to the house among the bushes, saying that it was a guest house for the US military, and those who fly planes often come to live.The two riders rode side by side and went downhill slowly. When they reached the lake, the groom asked if they needed a boat, and he could borrow it.The Dashi immediately said that he wanted to take a boat. There was no boat when he came here before, "Let's take a rest first!" Wu Yin said, jumped off the horse, helped Mei off the horse again, and patted the horse's head to express his gratitude.Weeds form a green carpet underfoot, leaning against the water. "Oh!" said the old man loudly, "I have discovered the usefulness of this piece of grass!" The top rolled down, and the crisp laughter startled the birds.The two girls blushed, and they couldn't stop laughing when they stood up.Two boys also tried it, and both said it was a wonderful experience.All of a sudden, the groom brought a one-eyed man who was in charge of the hostel, saying that the residents had gone to Stone Forest today, and the houses were all empty, so they could borrow a boat.He pointed to the boat tied in front of the house not far away, and asked if he wanted to eat, and he could burn it.Wu Yin said: "There is water, there is a boat, and there is food. It was created by magic." Wei Wei and Dashi thought that since there is food, it is better to eat first, and the four of them sent the groom back and followed the one-eyed man to the guest house. The house in the guest house is simple, but comfortable and practical. There are many unknown wild flowers growing in the grass beside the house.The four walked around, you picked a few flowers, and I picked a few flowers, and they all looked the same together.Mei hugged the purple flower that Wucao gave her, and said: "This flower is still the most beautiful." Weiwei said: "Nature is really wonderful, every species, every category, and every branch of the biological world contains many mysteries. Mei said: "My sister really has something to do in Dali." The master said: "There is one thing wrong with plants, they can't talk." "But they are obedient," Mei said, "It is said that someone raised two pots of orchids. I often talk to a potted flower, and this potted flower grows faster and blooms much faster, and I am always very happy." "You made it up!" said the master, and suddenly said: "Oh, there is another person who studies biology You are an authority." She looked at Wei Wei, Wei Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Function." Mei tilted her head and said, "I believe they understand!" The one-eyed man came over to say hello, and the four of them entered the hall, and saw that four cups and saucers had been set up, including hot milk, toast, fried eggs, and a small pot of rice and fried fermented soybeans.They let the one-eyed man sit together.The one-eyed man said that most of the people who come here to live are from the U.S. Air Force.He doesn't know a foreign language, and usually hardly speaks.Gradually, he talked more. He participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang and was disabled at the second level.Weiwei said: "You must be a brave soldier." The one-eyed man shook his head, not even saying so. "Honestly speaking, when I was on the battlefield, I depended on one breath and influenced each other. In that battle, I was wounded in seven places, and everything else was healed. Only this eye was useless, and the remaining one was getting better and better. I don’t know. However, I can still do things now.” He squinted his eyes, “I have a good job, a good job, and I have contributed to the country.” “What if I can’t see this eye?” Mei ask. "We'll talk about it later," the one-eyed man replied. After dinner, the four boarded the boat.The one-eyed man stood on the shore and said: "Be careful, the deepest part of this lake is more than ten feet, don't paddle too far." Hold a paddle, and soon cooperate with each other tacitly.The boat glides briskly on the surface of the water. The blue sky, white clouds and green trees have already been reflected in the lake, and suddenly there is a boat full of youthful energy. If there is a god in the lake, it will definitely say: "Welcome." The lake is clear and shallow. There were piles of stones everywhere. Mei leaned over the side of the boat and pointed, "Does this look like a city gate? There is a warrior in armor lying there. Is he defending the city or attacking it?" Wei Wei also leaned over. Look, said: "If you defend, you must defend, and if you attack, you must attack." The master said she couldn't see it.No reason, but pointed to another place and said: "There is a Sphinx (Sphinx). He doesn't know what riddle he wants to guess for us." So everyone shouted to the water: "You make a riddle, you make a riddle !” The result was a burst of laughter.The boat passed through this section of rocks, and the lake gradually deepened.Dashi wanted to row the boat, but she gave it to her for no reason, she was not as strong as Weiwei, the boat turned to one side, and everyone laughed again.So Mei and Dashi paddled together, and their oars were very shallow, and they could hardly break the waves.The boat is slow but steady.After a while, the boat stopped, and I was alone in the middle of the lake. Looking around, the farthest part of the lake meets the sky, and there are big white clouds dotting the sky.After a while, it turned into a thread again, as if it was about to flow into the lake. Looking down, the water of the lake was really unfathomable.Wucai said, "You can't paddle, can you? Let me do it. It's too deep here." After adjusting the oars, he paddled back.Sitting on the bow of the boat, Mei suddenly said, "I want to jump down." The master said, "I see, I know that Meng Ling is already a naughty ghost. To be honest, I want to jump down too." Wei Wei said in Yunnan dialect: " You two are very speculative!" Mei was behind Wu Yin, but felt that he was watching her, probably ready to salvage at any time.All of a sudden everyone sang songs, one after another, I don't know who started it, and sang the song "Knowledge": I remember when I was young you love to chat and i love to laugh Once sat side by side under the peach tree The wind is in the forest, the birds are calling somehow we fell asleep How many flowers fall in the dream "I remember when I was young", the singing gradually became higher and lower, everyone was immersed in the soft and somewhat confused song, making the lake and mountains shake, and did not speak for a long time. The sun was very bright, and there was no cloud in the blue sky. They didn't know where they were hiding. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, "Where is the cannon?" The sun is still shining, no wind, no clouds, "dry thunder," they laughed.No reason to paddle hard towards the shore.There was a thunder explosion, which seemed to hit the boat, and everyone was startled. "Don't you guys be too happy!" There was another explosion of thunder, and with the explosion of thunder, there was a sudden downpour of rain. The rain fell first, and then the dark clouds appeared.The raindrops made small nests on the surface of the lake, and the water surface was suddenly confused, and dark clouds hung down from the sky.Everyone heard the thunderclap and looked around in amazement. They expected a dragon or some monster to jump out of the water, but there was nothing. "You are so happy!" The voice came from the gathered dark clouds, and then rolled away with the thunder.It was still raining, and the clothes of the four were soaked. When the boat reached the shore, the rain stopped.It was cloudless again, and the blue lake was as clear as the sky.
