Chapter 19 The Northland is a vast expanse (2)

The twilight on her face grew thicker.As far as the eye can see, the trees are still, the wind is still, and the snow is also quiet.She was sobbing, and Mother sighed, pulling her towards home.She hasn't heard enough of that song until today. Dad picked up a load of things.The flowery cloth and the red headband are for her.There is also a small firecracker.She knew it was the New Year's Eve.Mother told her that she was seven years old.She didn't know what it was to be seven years old, so she asked her mother, and her mother replied, "It's grown up." What is it like to grow up?She couldn't imagine it.When the braid grew, my mother coiled it around her head, like a little black butterfly.The pits on Pa's face were like depressions, and she imagined filling them up with millet grains.That way, Dad's face won't be so ugly.Luhua is used to being quiet and escaping. As long as she can remember, her father and mother have always been awkward when talking.Mother obediently shed tears, and then the tears disappeared.She didn't want to see her mother being angry with her father.Therefore, as long as they are together, she always runs away in fear.

"Well, there's trouble outside the mountain." Dad said.Lu Hua was about to leave, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but stop and listen. "What's going on?" Mother asked softly. "Arresting people and parading them in the streets is amazing. The streets are full of young people, men and women, who are about to rebel." "Oh, the world is about to change." Niang sighed. The air was stagnant, and Lu Hua's heart was also stagnant.How much she wanted to know what was going on outside the mountain.Niang said that if she was a few years older, she would be sent out of the mountain.Niang also said that the people outside the mountain are very wild and bad, and she was afraid that she would be offended.She has been out of the mountains, that's what Dad told her.When she was two years old, she got sick, and her skin was so hot that her hands were burned. Her father sent her out of the mountain, and she was cured.Too bad she doesn't remember.

What is it like outside the mountains? Seeing her eavesdropping in a daze, father and mother fell silent. Dad asked, "Lu Hua, what are you listening to?" "Listen to the wind. The wind is blowing so hard, won't mom get snot from the cold?" Her tears kept rolling, and she tried her best to hold them back. "Huh?" Dad's pockmarked face wrinkled, like a bran dumpling. "That dog." Mother quickly responded, "Luhua has called it 'Mum' for a long time." "Mmm, what is um?" Dad's two eyebrows were twisted together, bending like a green snake.Lu Hua trembled with fright, and said cautiously:

"Well, it means being able to work." "Huh, what a ghost." Dad smiled angrily and stopped asking. Oh, huh!Luhua ran to the outside, the wind and snow immediately fascinated her eyes, she rubbed and cried. The campus is clean and clean, and I don't know when a few red dots will be lit.Five girls are building a snowman.The snowmen are tall and fat, thick and bright.One of the girls was dissatisfied with the snowman's nose, so she used her slender hands to get plastic surgery, but it turned out to be wrong for the other girl, so they laughed and wrestled together.The other three girls were also unwilling to be lonely, and joined the battle one after another.In a blink of an eye, the snowman collapsed.They laughed and fell on the snow, blooming into five plum blossoms, shining brightly.And the sky still sprinkled snowflakes silently and melodiously, kissing their eyelashes, noses, mouths and sharply rising and falling chests proudly and holding their breath.Lu Hua saw that the electronic clock on the desk was showing 11:32.She put on an apricot-yellow down jacket, a white wool hat, a white scarf and white cotton gloves, locked the door, and hurried through the dark and deep corridor to the campus.

So comfortable and energetic.In the vast and spiritual universe hangs a huge screen outlined by snowflakes, fluttering like a light gauze.And the gentle sound of snowflakes rubbing gently fills every gap in the screen, reminding people of the legendary fairy who can sing and dance.The reed flower slowly raised its steps, as if it couldn't bear to disturb the rich whiteness.The five snow girls saw her and stood up one after another, yelling at each other and continuing to build snowmen.Lu Hua gave them a smile and walked towards the outside of the campus.Walk through the residential area, through the meadow, and down the mountain.

It seems that it was twenty years ago again, with the same weather and this moment.She was sitting in a squat little room, with many unbearable loneliness and bitter longings born of loneliness jumping in her arms. A rope, made of twisted jute, is strong.I heard that this rope belongs to my mother and is now used to bind firewood.Luhua held the rope in front of her chest, and sat in front of the ground fire dragon to tie the knot.Dad went up the mountain to drive out the spores, and mother squatted in front of the stove and tanned bear skins with small grizzlies.The day before yesterday, Dad killed a big black bear.The mother said, it can be worth a lot of money.She doesn't know what money is.

She tied a knot and compared it to its length. If she was not satisfied, she untied it and tied it again.Finally, after repeated several times, she tied two knots on the rope.The rope is divided into three sections. "This is morning." She gestured to the upper paragraph and said to herself. "Here in the afternoon." She was fascinated by the section of rope between the two knots. "This long one is night." After she finished speaking, she sighed and propped her chin to think about something. "Luhua, what do you do with knots on a good rope?" "I divide the sun." She looked at her mother and said in a low voice.Mother spread the bear skin on the ground fire dragon, and sighed too.
