Chapter 46 5. Beijing knot
Jin Ranran's novel "Heavenly Rain" has finally been published.Because the publishing house is very optimistic about this book, it carried out careful planning and publicity during the publishing process. Once the book was published, it was enthusiastically sought after by dozens of media. Jin Ranran became the leader of "post-80s" writers overnight. figure.
Ding Nengtong learned that Jin Ranran's "Heavenly Rain" had achieved great success, and he was sincerely happy for Ran Ran. In order to celebrate the success, Ding Nengtong asked Ranran to climb the Jiankou Great Wall in Huairou on a whim.
At eight o'clock in the morning, starting from Renmin University, the Mercedes-Benz drove out of Beijing quickly.The sun shines on the gorgeous field, the earth is colorful, fiery red sorghum, golden millet, bearded sticks, old bean seedlings, even the weeds on the edge of the field have turned dark green, knotted. The crops that produced various fruits all showed a look of contentment.
Along the way, Ran Ran played a song called "There Are No Cars in Heaven":
October sky,
faintly sunny,
Many stories are brewing slowly under the sun,
Cars come and go,
At last did you see angels flying,
The moon is high,
The night is long,
hurry you go,
Fate has no direction.
"Ran Ran, if "Heavenly Rain" is made into a TV series, this song can be used as the theme song." Ding Nengtong said affectionately.
"Brother, do you think my novel can be made into a TV series?" Jin Ranran asked hopefully.
"Don't worry, everything will happen naturally, isn't it sung in the song, destiny has no direction." Ding Nengtong said pretending to be deep.
"Brother, what has your friend Gu Huaiyuan written recently?"
"He seems to be writing a book called "The Great Demolition", which is about officialdom."
"I read his "Spiritual Manor" recently, it's a bit like Rousseau's, it's very soulful!" Jin Ranran said admiringly.
"Ran Ran, fate really has no direction. Who would have thought that Gu Huaiyuan would become a writer, maybe even he himself hadn't thought about it."
"Brother, thank you for being fine, but Sister Fengyun and I are worried to death for you!"
"Ran Ran, after this catastrophe, I understand that people have two fears, one is fear of living in vain, and the other is fear of living too clearly."
"Why?" Jin Ranran asked puzzled.
"It's sad to live ignorantly, and it's terrible to live too clearly. In the past, I lived ambiguously in some aspects, and lived too clearly in some aspects. As a result, I almost made a big mistake."
"Brother, I think you are about to become a philosopher. You people in the officialdom are tired of life, why don't you learn to be a happy pig?"
"If you don't tell me, I will forget, you are a pig."
"Brother, aren't you also a pig?"
"So this Mercedes-Benz is a pigsty!"
After Ding Nengtong finished speaking, the two of them laughed heartily, but they didn't know that a Hummer was following them.
The driver of the Hummer was none other than Luo Hu, the director of the Huang County Office in Beijing. There were also two police officers from the Huang County Public Security Bureau sitting in the car, both of whom were Huang Yuewen's best friends. In order to find out the whereabouts of Wei Guoshan, he lived in the Beijing Office of Huang County.
Luo Hu has long sensed the relationship between Ding Nengtong and Jin Ranran. Luo Xiaomei gave Luo Hu a task when he was in Beijing last time: "Hu'er, Brother Tong belongs to my sister, so I must not let other women entangle him. My sister is not in Beijing. You help me keep an eye on him from time to time, and if you find other women pestering her, tell your sister quickly."
"Sister, don't worry, if he dares to find another woman, I will make him unable to eat and walk around."
"You are not allowed to act recklessly, if you hurt Brother Tong, I will not forgive you!"
"Sister, I haven't married him yet, so I'm biased!"
"Remember, he will be your brother-in-law sooner or later."
From then on, Luo Hu often followed Ding Nengtong by car.It soon became apparent that Ding Nengtong really had a hot fight with a female graduate student, and he even followed Jin Ranran alone. Luo Hu found a pattern, Ding Nengtong drove to pick up Jin Ranran every weekend, Luo Hu kept holding his breath, "Ding Nengtong, You are heartless, how kind my sister is to you, and you are cheating on her behind her back, be careful, I will pinch the flowers for you and pull the weeds for you when I get a chance."
As expected, Luo Hu met the opportunity.Early on Saturday morning, he led his two buddies to follow Ding Nengtong, and Ding Nengtong drove to Renmin University, but what Luo Hu didn't expect was that Ding Nengtong drove out of Beijing after picking up Jin Ranran.
Luo Hu followed him all the way by car for more than two hours, and finally arrived at Xizhazi Village at the foot of Jiankou. This small village with only a few dozen families is the base camp for visiting the Jiankou Great Wall.
After Ding Nengtong and Jin Ranran parked their cars, they entered a farm restaurant called "Zhao's Villa". Luo Hu was afraid of losing him, so he didn't dare to go to the restaurant for dinner. Instead, he asked Da Li to go to the grocery store to buy bread and sausages. .Luo Hu saw a farm family posting white cloth sheets and asked Lao Yu to steal them. Da Li and Lao Yu didn't know why Luo Hu stole the white cloth sheets.
"Director Luo, what's the use of stealing this white cloth sheet?" Old Yu asked wonderingly.
"I don't think Ding Nengtong and Jin Ranran will be able to go back today. They will climb the Great Wall after lunch, and they may spend the night at the arrow button. It's fucking romantic. I want them to be romantic!" Luo Hu said viciously.
After Ding Nengtong and Jin Ranran had a full meal at "Zhao's Villa", they came out with their backpacks on their backs.Jin Ranran was dressed very beautifully today, like a professional mountaineering team member.
Ding Nengtong was in a great mood. From the courtyard of the old Zhao’s house located on the slope, one could see the "Jiankou Great Wall" to the south, and the "Beijing Knot" to the southwest, which was where Ding Nengtong and Jin Ranran met destination of the line.
After several frosts, the mountains and fields are full of purples and reds. The persimmon trees, apricot trees, and red maple trees have all been dyed by the autumn frost. Although the leaves of the birches have withered, they are set off in a golden or fiery red, which has a unique charm.
The ancient Great Wall winds among the colorful mountains, which is extremely magnificent!Ding Nengtong carried a mountaineering bag and took Jin Ranran's slender hand, walked south out of the village entrance, and soon came to the foot of the Great Wall.
After a period of climbing, climb up from the opening of a collapsed wall, and then start walking on the undulating Jiankou Great Wall.As far as the eye can see, there are rolling and boundless wild mountains, and the winding Great Wall disappears at the end of the field of vision up and down among the mountains.
"Brother, you are here in the Beijing Office to greet and send off all day long. You should have come here many times. Why does it feel like you are here for the first time?" Jin Ranran asked pantingly with big eyes flashing.
"Officials don't come to this wild Great Wall. At most, I accompany them or their families to see the Badaling Great Wall."
"Why? The Great Wall at Badaling is artificially carved like the walls of the Forbidden City. How can the Great Wall here have the momentum? Don't look at the Great Wall here. From these dilapidated city bricks, I can appreciate its majestic momentum thousands of years ago, and I can even feel the historical smoke and dust of the gold and iron horses witnessed by the Great Wall."
"Well said! You are worthy of being a writer, but when you become an official, you will inevitably be pampered. They can't bear this hardship. When I was Xiao Honglin's secretary, I only went to three places every time I was on a business trip."
"Where?" Jin Ranran asked curiously.
"Five-star hotels, sauna centers, KTV nightclubs."
"It's really boring, why don't you go to Wuyi Mountain when you go to Fuzhou, and don't visit Zhangjiajie when you go to Changsha?"
"Indeed." Ding Nengtong smiled tactfully.
"Hey, if you don't watch the sunset with the arrow button, how do you know there is a sad song in the world!" Jin Ranran sighed.
"Is the sunset at Jiankou special?" Ding Nengtong asked puzzled.
"Of course, the name Jiankou itself is very special, enough to eclipse all the words such as ridge, pass, yu, and platform in the place names of the Great Wall. Broken, majestic, desolate, plus sunset, isn't it a sad song of human history?"
"Ran Ran, you really know how to think, don't say it, it really makes sense. However, I am not as romantic as you think. I think the Great Wall is like a huge scepter across the mountains and rivers of China. It shows that The mysterious power that power is supreme, Ran Ran, only power can have such great power, it can move mountains and fill seas, let alone build the Great Wall, the emperors regard the Great Wall as their own courtyard wall, and they want the country to last forever. , Which one is not self-destructing the Great Wall and digging its own grave. In the long history, the officialdom is like the soul-stirring Great Wall, entrenched on top of human society, like a never-ending stage of life, and what is staged is always cloudy. The turbulent battle!" Ding Nengtong sighed, which surprised Jin Ranran.
"Brother, I didn't expect your words to be so penetrating. It really feels like Chen Ziang ascending Youzhoutai."
"I haven't seen the ancients before, and I haven't seen the comers in the future. Thinking about the darkness of the world, I feel sad and weep." Ding Nengtong read aloud.
"Bro, are you lonely?"
"Ran Ran, people are lonely. Those who can face loneliness are full of heart. Carnival and indulgence are the escape and fear of loneliness. Facing loneliness will realize another true meaning of life: transcending things and dare to ask the sky. In fact, Human dignity is not being prominent in a high-ranking official position, nor being favored by others after gaining fame and fortune, but human dignity is to express oneself alone."
"Brother, do you know what you look like now?"
"Like what?"
"Like a lonely hero who looks up to the sky and sighs!"
Ding Nengtong patted the blue bricks on the city wall, and suddenly felt that the Great Wall was alive, like a black dragon winding forward on the ridge.
After a difficult trek, the two came to the two pine trees in Beijing. The two pine trees are neither tall nor tall, but they stand tall. The two pine trees in Beijing are one of the symbols of Jiankou. It is a rare encounter here. At the meeting place of the Great Wall, the Great Wall in three different directions meets here. The direction from the north to Jiuyanlou leads to Heituo Mountain; You can go directly to the Mutianyu Great Wall.Three giant dragon-like Great Walls gather here and intersect along the mountain ranges of various places. I am afraid that this kind of momentum can only be appreciated when standing in Beijing.
"Brother, do these two pine trees look like a couple that last forever?"
"Like, these two pine trees are bound together forever in Beijing."
"Brother, can love really last forever?"
"Ran Ran, there will always be such and such shortcomings in life, only love resonates!"
"All love in the world is sweet at the beginning, but as the years go by, it will gradually become a bit bitter." Jin Ranran said sadly.
"Yeah, I once attended a wedding officiated by a Catholic priest, and the priest held a brand-new hundred-dollar bill during the mass and asked everyone, 'Does anyone here want this?' No one said anything. .....The priest said again: "Don't be shy, just raise your hand if you want it!" About one-third of the people in the audience raised their hands. At this time, the priest crumpled up the brand new banknotes Ask again: "Does anyone want to own it now?" Some people still raised their hands, but much less than before. Then, the priest threw the banknote on the ground again, stepped on it a few times, picked it up, and asked everyone: "Would you like to own it?" Does anyone want it?" Only three or four people raised their hands in the audience. The priest asked one of the men to come on stage and gave him a hundred dollars. The priest said, "This gentleman raised his hand three times!" The audience laughed The priest beckoned everyone to be quiet, and then said to the groom: "My child, marrying your beloved bride today is like having a brand new banknote. Years and hard work are like a broken one-hundred-dollar banknote. Some people change halfway." In fact, banknotes are still banknotes, and its value has not changed at all. I hope you can understand the true value and meaning like this gentleman, and don’t be led by appearances to walk the road of life!’ At this time , the whole audience responded with warm applause. Ran Ran, true love is like having an old love!" Ding Nengtong said with emotion.
"But the farthest distance between two people who love each other is not never seeing each other, but the fact that they love each other deeply, but they can't get close!"
As soon as Jin Ranran finished speaking, Ding Nengtong's cell phone rang. He took out the cell phone from his pocket and looked at the caller ID. Ran Ran calls at the most romantic time!"
Ding Nengtong never expected that Luo Hu, Da Li and Lao Yu had been following them and told Luo Xiaomei the news.Luo Xiaomei felt jealous after answering Luo Hu's phone call, "Ding Nengtong has never taken me so romantically, could it be that he and Jin Ranran..." Luo Xiaomei didn't dare to think deeply, she complained that she was too confident and careless !
Luo Xiaomei thought that after the divorce, Ding Nengtong would definitely fall into her arms, but things did not develop in the direction she imagined. Ding Nengtong and her were inseparable, as if there was a kind of vigilance. Before seeing her, she wanted to go to bed, but now she doesn’t even want to go to bed. So, where is the problem?
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaomei couldn't help dialing Ding Nengtong's cell phone.At this time, Ding Nengtong and Jin Ranran were preparing to form a camp in Beijing.
Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood. In this blood-colored dusk, the sun gradually sets behind the mountain. Its light is no longer dazzling, the mountains are also dim, the clouds are also dim, the trees are also dim, and Ding Nengtong’s heart is also dim. After coming down, talking to Luo Xiaomei in front of Jin Ranran, Ding Nengtong felt very embarrassed.
"Brother Tong, where are you?" Luo Xiaomei asked in a jealous tone.
"Xiaomei, I'm with my friends." Ding Nengtong said calmly.
"Boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"Why, Xiaomei, you are not such a stingy person!"
"I'm not so generous as to share the man I love with other women! It's late autumn, isn't it cold on the Jiankou Great Wall?"
"Xiaomei, how do you know I'm at Jiankou Great Wall?" Ding Nengtong asked alertly.
"Brother Tong, cold weather is not cold, cold is cold. I love you. Of course I can feel where you are. A woman's sixth sense is very accurate. Well, I won't bother you anymore. It's rare for you to be romantic once. I'll let you go this time. Brother Tong, remember, no one can take you away from me!"
"Xiaomei, Xiaomei!"
Luo Xiaomei hung up the phone suddenly, leaving Ding Nengtong at a loss.
Jin Ranran had already heard the clue, and she asked jealously: "Brother, why are you still dating this woman? She almost made you lose your career!"
"Ran Ran, love is an unsolvable equation. On the road of life, I hope that all the true feelings can be used to treasure."
"Brother, I don't want to be collected by you. If love is a train, I want to go to the end of time with you."
"Ran Ran, I'm a divorced man, I don't deserve you to do this for me!"
"Brother, no woman is born ready for you, I am the only one! Since the day I met you, I have been preparing, and I have learned to persevere through loving you."
"Ran Ran, this is not fair to you, you should have a better choice!"
"Brother, is it because of Luo Xiaomei that you don't accept my love?" Jin Ranran asked jealously.
"After the divorce, my heart is dead. I don't want to hurt you or Xiaomei. Ran Ran, stop arguing. I'm hungry. Look at the moon rising. What a beautiful night at the arrow button!"
Ding Nengtong changed the subject. After he set up his tent in the beacon, he took out bread and ham from his backpack, and even brought a bottle of red wine.
When he was ready, Ding Nengtong tugged at Jin Ranran who was sulking beside him and said, "Why, even a happy little pig is unhappy? It's time for dinner. To celebrate the publication of "Heavenly Rain", I brought a bottle of red wine."
"You're a log, so I don't bother to be angry with you! Brother, I don't care about humans tonight, I only care about you!" After Jin Ranran finished speaking, he got into the tent, "Brother, it's too romantic to spend the night at the Jiankou Great Wall. To write a new book, the title is "Love on the Great Wall."
"Well, here's to your "Love on the Great Wall"!" Ding Nengtong said, picking up the red wine.
"What is my "Love on the Great Wall" is our "Love on the Great Wall"!"
After Jin Ranran finished speaking, she drank the red wine with a giggle.
Many unswerving loves gain eternal meaning from the moment two hearts collide.at this time.There was a cold beauty on Jin Ranran's face, the beauty penetrated to the bone marrow, Ding Nengtong was made of iron, and was melted into molten iron by Jin Ranran's fiery love, the night was like a dream, Ding Nengtong's heart suddenly felt sweet and sour , There is a kind of sad comfort.
The pure moonlight sifted through the gaps of pine needles and fell on the green bricks of the Great Wall. The bird made a miserable cry, accompanied by Songtao's deep whimper, it was creepy!
Jin Ranran snuggled tightly into Ding Nengtong's arms. Neither of them could fall asleep. The mountain wind howled and made strange noises. Ding Nengtong even regretted it. If any wild beast appeared, he didn't care. What should Ran Ran do?The more Ding Nengtong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but hugged Jin Ranran tightly.
"Brother, I want to go out for convenience! But I'm afraid!"
"What are you afraid of? I have me. I also want to be convenient. Let's go!"
Ding Nengtong got out of the tent first, followed by Jin Ranran. The crescent moon hung in the sky. The sky was dark blue without a trace of cloud. The vast mountains became pale and mysterious in the clear moonlight. A melancholy silver light covered the sickly rolling hills, and the pine forests and bushes cast horrible shadows in the moonlight, dark as if some terrible ghost was hiding behind them.
After the two of them had done their exercises, three snow-white ghosts suddenly appeared, bouncing and approaching the two of them, Jin Ranran screamed piercingly in fright, and threw herself into Ding Nengtong's arms.
"Brother, there is a ghost!"
Ding Nengtong hugged Jin Ranran tightly, his heart was in his throat, he couldn't figure out what the monster was approaching him, it looked like a legendary zombie.
Ding Nengtong could almost hear his own heartbeat, thinking, he really met a ghost!The Great Wall was originally an ancient battlefield. I don’t know how many times there have been fights on the Great Wall for thousands of years. Could it be that they are the ghosts who died on the Great Wall?
At this time, the three white zombies not only jumped closer and closer, but also howled like wolves. Jin Ranran buried his head in Ding Nengtong's arms and shivered in fright. Ghosts are also disguised as humans.
Ding Nengtong strengthened his courage and shouted: "Stop! Are you human or ghost?"
Ding Nengtong's voice like a bell really worked. The three white ghosts stopped immediately and let out hysterical laughter. Although the laughter was extremely disguised, Ding Nengtong still heard a familiar voice, and he suddenly understood Oh, Luo Xiaomei actually found out that she was at the Jiankou Great Wall in Dongzhouhuang County. Someone must have followed her and tipped her off. This person can only be Luo Hu.No matter how these three people pretend, one of them must be Luo Hu.
Thinking of this, Ding Nengtong laughed loudly: "Luo Hu, you think you are covered with a white cloth and I don't know you anymore, and you haven't shown your original shape!"
It doesn't matter if Ding can get through this voice, the three white ghosts turned and ran, and disappeared into the night in a short while.
"Ran Ran, it's all right!" Ding Nengtong said affectionately, stroking Jin Ranran's head with his hands.
"Brother, is it a human or a ghost?" Jin Ranran still hugged Ding Nengtong tightly and asked.
"In this world, people are ghosts, and ghosts are people. I can't think of someone pretending to be a ghost to scare us. It's too despicable!"
Ding Nengtong felt a bit of resentment towards Luo Xiaomei in his heart. He still couldn't judge whether Luo Xiaomei had ordered Luo Hu to scare him, but Luo Xiaomei must have ordered Luo Hu to follow him.
Ding Neng thought to himself, women are really double-edged swords, the cutest place is often the scariest place, it seems that he should really think about his relationship with Luo Xiaomei.
