Chapter 14 Novella Workaround - 4

end This time she didn't go to the construction site, but to the dark tunnel.After groping for a while like a blind man, her feet stepped on the wet concrete floor, a little panicked and a little crazy, she stopped in surprise.The sky outside is dark blue, although it is night, but there is a bright moon shining on the mountains, those mountains are emitting smoke, the smoke is white, curling up into the night sky.Suddenly, nearby, Shu Yi found the construction site she had been to, with buildings standing upright, all of which had been completed, and people lived in them.Shu Yi looked forward vigorously, and the distance was confused.Is the mountain closer to her or the building closer to her?After a while, she could see the leaves on the mountain, saw the pine needles one by one, and she also saw some unspeakable things related to her heart disease.Her fleeting vision confirmed to her that there was indeed a group of people living in the mountains, and they were busy and invisible.Where did Aunt Peng's husband go?Shuyi recalled that he said that the scenery in front of him was inaccessible.The tunnel was filled with the strange smell of the damp place, Shu Yi took a few steps towards the exit, and then opened his mouth to breathe the outside air.At this time, footsteps came from the tunnel, Shu Yi knew who it was, she didn't turn around, but asked softly, as if casually:

"Is your husband gone at last?" "He was originally with those people in the mountains, and he just stayed in this tunnel occasionally. For example, last time, he knew you would come, so he intentionally stayed here and waited for you." Aunt Peng said, stopping Stopped. "What about you? You belong to those people, right? I've been wondering here: How can a person pretend for decades? Tell me, are you in that group or not?" "It's a secret." Aunt Peng smiled "puchi". As if making an appointment, Aunt Peng walked forward holding Shu Yi's hand.They walked for a long time, but they couldn't get to the buildings, let alone the mountains.The shape of the tree has become a blurred piece, like a flat oil painting set, constantly receding backwards.

"Aunt Peng, Aunt Peng." Shu Yi sighed. "What?" Aunt Peng was taken aback. "Aunt Peng, Aunt Peng." She said again. Her old eyes were filled with tears, and she wanted to talk, but there was no language in her mind, and she was close to a state of dementia at this moment. "Aunt Peng, Aunt Peng." She could only say these few words.Aunt Peng was still dragging her forward, the night sky became brighter, the surroundings were like day, and someone in the building made a choked voice with an erhu.Shuyi suddenly felt the ground under his feet moving, which was why they couldn't reach their destination.

"A man came out from the mountain, look!" Aunt Peng said. Shuyi also saw that familiar figure, the girl's figure.The girl is fetching water with a bucket by the stream, and the stream is like a white cloth across the painting, which can be seen clearly from a long distance.There was a halo around the girl, which flickered with her movement.Instead of walking towards the mountains, she walked straight towards the two old women. "Plum blossoms! Plum blossoms!" Shu Yi and Aunt Peng shouted in unison. They came towards her, and she came towards them with the bucket, but the distance between them grew wider and wider.Shuyi caught a glimpse of the old cat with ordinary coordinates.Finally, the plum blossom retreated to the foot of the mountain, and soon disappeared among the trees.

Aunt Peng held Su Yi tightly and stood there. Shu Yi felt that the ground under her feet was moving faster, which made her dizzy, and her body began to heat up. It was a novel feeling, like many ants coming from the body. Like a surge. "You're finally shining." Aunt Peng seemed to be speaking from far away. Shuyi couldn't see the light she emitted at all, she thought that Aunt Peng was lying to her, and she felt that there was no need for Aunt Peng to deceive her, so what she said was true?How hot, there are thousands of ants rushing out.The man in the tall building leaned out and looked at them, thinking, what did he see?

It was such a warm night, one of those nights you can sleep in even in the wild, no wonder someone wants to live in the wild.Shu Yi's heart has never been so close to nature as it is today. She looked at those mountains and was stunned.When she stopped moving, Aunt Peng stopped too. "People in the mountains also saw us." Aunt Peng said. A little rain fell on Shu Yi's face, she greedily stuck out her tongue to lick, licked, and got carried away.The elusive nature, which she has been pursuing all her life, is inseparable from her, and it is in her body, and this is the truth of the matter.All those anxieties, all those resentments, all those suspicions, disappeared.Those people in the mountains lit up dots of torches, like stars dotted among the mountains.Shuyi watched with emotion, feeling for the first time that he was equal to them.Looking at her from their side, isn't she also a star?She stood there for a long time, and then she touched the side with her hand, and found that Aunt Peng was long gone.She was alone in this empty place, and she quietly became the star under the quiet sky. "Tomorrow..." She moved her lips, trying to get the word she couldn't say.
