Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Ferocious

It was another uneventful day for that lonely village shop.The old man is still weaving straw baskets in the back room, and the old lady keeps the stall in the front shop as usual.The only unusual thing that happened that day was that Jin Kui walked from the kitchen in the back room to the front shop and asked the old lady for money. "Grandma, I want to pay a little salary first, and go to the town to make a phone call. Is there a long-distance phone in the town?" The old lady didn't understand: "Salary, what salary?" Jin Kui said: "I have been working here for so many days, and I have helped you earn some money. I want to advance a little money and make a long-distance call. If I can find my boyfriend, he may I can send the travel expenses here, and I don’t have to trouble you here anymore.”

Only then did the old lady understand: "You are here with us, where do you earn money? Last time you accompanied my old man to the fair to sell baskets, you only sold for a few dollars. You eat, sleep and wear clothes with me, and I pay for it." How can you earn any money if you don’t count every sum for you.” Jin Kui said: "Grandma, my boyfriend and I have an appointment to take the exam. If I don't leave, I will miss the time. Give me some money and let me make a phone call. There are no long-distance calls in the town, so I will take the exam." Go to the county to fight."

Seeing that she was serious, the old lady softened her tone: "The county? It takes a day and a night to go to the county. How about it, I will find someone to take you there in two days. If you don't take you there, you can't find the way. Okay. Alright, let's cook first, ah." Someone came into the store and yelled to buy cigarettes, the old lady turned her face to say goodbye to the business.Jin Kui had no choice but to turn around disgruntled, and retreated to the kitchen in the back room. This place is indeed too closed, and it is still in a state where traffic basically depends on walking and communication basically depends on roaring.Jin Kui has no contact with the outside world at all. She didn't know that on the day she asked the old lady for money, a major event happened in her hometown Yunlang and in their Jin's restaurant.The assistant Lin under Yang Feng went to the Chaohuang Restaurant to ask for debts, and fought with her brother. Several people were injured on both sides.

Although there were many people in the restaurant and drove the "intruder" out of the house, they obviously forged a grudge with Yang Feng. The world is too big! The convoy left Gansu and entered Inner Mongolia.Near Liusumu in ancient Liangcheng, the painters saw a large buckwheat field that they had never seen before.The dark clouds in the sky overwhelmed the endless buckwheat into a gloomy color.In the center of this buckwheat field, a huge enemy tower of the Great Wall lies quietly between the sky and the earth. From a distance, it looks like a piece of cast iron that has been forged in a furnace, rusty and thick.In the dusk of this day, on the painters' drawing boards, in a field woven of yellow, green, and maroon, the embers of the sun are slowly dying out.The coherent and complete Bailanggou Great Wall on the horizon is gilded with the last rays of the setting sun into a rushing golden thread. The magnificent scenery combines the poetic flavor of the countryside and the solemnity of history, which is suitable for Zhou Xin and Gao Chun at this moment. A conversation about art and ideals.

Zhou Xin's question is not so much concerned as she is curious, she has always been full of huge doubts about this beautiful young man who often helps her: "Do you really want to enter the dance academy? You didn't take the test really just because of lack of money? " Gao Chun's answer was more sentimental than an explanation: "I will earn money to go to school, but now I am waiting for someone who loves dancing as much as I do, and we made an appointment to take the exam together. I will never fall in love with anything but dancing." Zhou Xin's doubts continued to increase: "Are you waiting for...someone, a man or a woman."

"Woman, it's a girl my age." Zhou Xin was silent for a moment, and continued to probe: "Is it your classmate?" Gao Chun was also silent for a moment, not knowing how to describe Jin Kui: "She... is my dance partner. " Zhou Xin smiled, and said sharply: "A normal dancing partner is like a figure skating partner. They are either siblings or lovers. This way it is easier to cooperate and harmonious when dancing. What is she to you? Brother and sister? Or a lover?" Gao Chun's face was stiff, he didn't want to answer at first, but when he opened his mouth, he answered from the bottom of his heart:

"She's married and I don't know who the groom is. I just want her to still be able to dance with me... We've practiced for a long time and no one has the same chemistry as us, as one person. " Zhou Xin said: "Dancing is a job for young people, and it is difficult to earn money. Is it really worth your life?" Gao Chun said: "You like painting, is it just to make money?" Zhou Xin thought for a long time and didn't know how to answer. She said, "It's different, it seems to be two different things. I paint, it's a career, and it's culture. But dancing is a bit like falling in love to you, right?"

The word "love" stuck in Gao Chun's throat. He looked at Zhou Xin and asked, "Aren't you too? Your love, your paintings, and your painter friends are also inseparable?" Zhou Xin saw that Gao Chun glanced at Gu Zi who was painting behind him, and made the point of this rhetorical question very clear.So she smiled slightly, met Gao Chun's gaze, and answered speciously. "Yes, we all fell in love with Huahua, so we came together. As for whether we love each other, it has nothing to do with Huahua." Gao Chun asked again: "What does it have to do with whether people can love each other?"

Zhou Xin replied again: "It has to do with time. No one can predict the future, let time decide for those who are looking for love." Zhou Xin's tone was optimistic, but Gao Chun was still depressed: "Time is too profound, how long is time?" The sun sank below the Great Wall, and Lao Suan was calling for everyone to close the stalls. Zhou Xin put away his drawing board and walked towards the rising sun.She turned around and said to Gao Chun: "For me, time is the future. Do you think I will not be able to get married in the future?" Gao Chun said, "No."

Zhou Xin smiled: "So I'm not in a hurry! Are you in a hurry?" Gao Chun replied seriously: "I will never marry in my life!" Zhou Xin was surprised by Gao Chun's words, and she turned her head again, but she didn't reveal her surprise. The expedition team circled a vast radius in the north of China and finally reached the last province on the itinerary - Hebei.That night, the convoy entered a village in Chicheng County, east of Zhangjiakou. The khaki relics of the ancient Great Wall meandered quietly by the side of the village. The painters parked in the village.After dinner, Gu Zi called Zhou Xin out of the room, saying that he wanted to talk to her about something.Zhou Xin glanced at Gao Chun who was helping Lao Suan to make the bed, and guessed that Gu Zi still wanted to talk about her and Gao Chun, so he walked out in a candid manner.

They went outside the house, to the edge of the village, and to the ruins of the Great Wall. To Zhou Xin's surprise, Gu Zi didn't talk about Gao Chun. Gu Zi said: "Zhou Xin, I want to ask you something, can you promise me?" Zhou Xin asked, "What's the matter?" Guzi said: "I don't want to go with the brigade anymore. I want to go to Shanghai. Our teacher has already agreed to arrange for me to go to England and work as an assistant for a British painter. Would you like to go with me?" Of course Zhou Xin was surprised, this matter is very important, it seems that such a temporary motion should not be made, she said: "We will soon arrive at Shanhaiguan, the trip will be over when we arrive at Shanhaiguan, and we are almost at the last stop, why do you want to quit halfway? " Gu Zi said: "I just talked with my teacher on the phone during the day, and I have to leave right away if I have to go, so..." Zhou Xin said: "You have said this before. Didn't you say that the Englishman mainly wanted to take the students for a fee? To be his assistant is to do chores for him. Aren't you unwilling to go? Why are you suddenly willing now? , and going in such a hurry?" Gu Zi said: "I've thought about it, but it's better to go. I've already asked my cousin to help me with the formalities. I hope you can go with me. It must be lonely abroad alone. Would you like to go with me?" I mentioned you to my teacher, and my teacher is in contact with the other party, there should be no problem." Zhou Xin shook his head: "No, I love painting, but I want to paint by myself, and I don't want to do chores for anyone. I love the Great Wall, and I want to paint the Great Wall I saw. I don't want to quit this collection. Haven't you been very positive about this coming out?This trek is about to end in victory, and you want to give up halfway, I don't understand! " Guzi's face was hard to see in the dark, but his voice could be heard with eagerness and fear: "Listen to me, Zhou Xin, I have to go, and I will explain the reason to you later. I beg you to promise me, will you go with me, I swear I will take good care of you in the future. " Gu Zi wanted to hug Zhou Xin, but Zhou Xin avoided her body. She was so sad that she almost shed tears: "I don't understand, Gu Zi, why did you leave like this! Are you crazy!" Gu Zi hugged Zhou Xin tightly: "Zhou Xin..." But before he finished speaking, a man's hoarse voice suddenly came from the dark place beside him: "He is crazy!" Both Zhou Xin and Gu Zi were terrified. Looking back, they saw a dark figure standing at the gap in the broken wall of the Great Wall. The figure looked broad in shoulders and thick in back. They all recognized that it was A Bing's voice, and A Bing's voice always seemed to carry a hint of sneer, with a deliberately contrived relaxed disdain: "This road has gone so far, I'm afraid it's not so easy to slip away halfway." Lah, let’s work together, let’s start well and end well.” Gu Zi glared at A Bing: "You are eavesdropping on our conversation! Are you following us?" A Bing ignored Guzi, and turned his voice to Zhou Xin: "Guzi is fine, he will go forward with everyone, he was mainly frightened by that kid Gao Chun, so he made up such a thing to test you, see What is your attitude towards him? Actually, I told Guzi earlier that Gao Chun is nothing to be afraid of. Guzi is a good man who keeps his promise, and good deeds can prolong his life." A Bing turned his eyes to Guzi, and finished his last words Wei Wei: "So Guzi will definitely be safe and happy in the future, with a happy life. Isn't Guzi right?" Gu Zi lost his voice, Zhou Xin seemed to understand.She looked at A Bing, then at Gu Zi, as if everyone was extraordinarily weird tonight. In the morning, most of the painters were still sleeping. Gao Chun got up at dawn and walked out of the village. He saw the farmers working at sunrise and drying the rice in the fields.He found that he was not the first to get up, Lao Suan Xiaohou and Zhou Xin had already set up drawing boards in the yard, sketching from life.Only then did he notice that there was a rammed-earth enemy platform of the ancient Great Wall standing upright in the courtyard. The khaki-colored enemy platform was covered with withered grass, as if the grass had withered since ancient times.Zhou Xin paid attention to Gao Chun, and said hello with a smile.Gao Chun also nodded, and responded politely with an ambiguous expression. As the sun rose, the painters who got up early and sketched went back to eat.Gao Chun also went back to the house where he lived, feeling something strange about his backpack.He checked and realized that his camera was gone. Sweating on his head, he searched repeatedly, convinced that the camera was really lost, and then suddenly jumped up from the kang and broke through the door.A Bing happened to just walk into the yard, before putting down the washbasin in his hand, Gao Chun grabbed him. Gao Chun shouted, "Where is my camera, take it out for me!" The painter was washing his face, brushing his teeth, smoking and chatting in the yard They were all stunned, and Gu Zi walked out of a side room in draped clothes, bewildered by the scene where the two were torn apart.Zhou Xin and Lao Suan walked into the yard, and were also startled by the fight between Gao Chun and A Bing. Not to be outdone, A Bing wanted to throw Gao Chun away, but he didn't stand firmly in one step, and Gao Chun pushed him against the wall instead, and couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment: "You fucking let go of me, let go of me, if you don't let go, don't blame me for being heavy... You fucking kid still fights with me for a few catties!" He threw Gao Chun off with all his strength, and slapped Gao Chun hard on the chest, knocking Gao Chun down to the ground.He didn't expect Gao Chun to turn over and rush forward again, the movement was unexpectedly fast, as soon as he punched, A Bing fell down in response, Gao Chun went up and punched and kicked, and was surrounded and pulled away by the awakened crowd. The painters: "Don't fight, don't fight, they all came out together, what's the big deal? I can't tell, don't fight, don't fight, what's the matter..." Lao Suan also criticized both parties as the team leader and elder: "What's the matter with you, what are you doing, you can't say anything properly, go back to the room! Gao Chun, you are young and have a good temper. You will suffer sooner or later! Just remember what I said..." The two were pulled away by the crowd and glared at each other.Everyone dispersed one after another, discussing in low voices: "What's going on, why did you fight?" "Gao Chun usually looks quite honest, why today?" "I heard it was because of Zhou Xin. Xiao Gao and Zhou Xin have warmed up a bit these days, and Gu Zi is not happy. Isn't Ah Bing from Gu Zi..." "But today it was Xiao Gao who beat A Bing first, not A Bing who beat Xiao Gao." "That's not clear..." The discussion gradually dissipated, and Zhou Xin was still standing at the door, his face full of suspicion.All kinds of accidents in the past few days seem to have nothing to do with each other, and they seem to be related to each other. It is puzzling and worrying... The situation subsided, and after the meal, the convoy set off. Gao Chun got into the car angrily, glaring at A Bing and Gu Zi who passed by the car.In the mirror, he saw A Bing Gu Zi walking to the station wagon behind, A Bing whispered something in Gu Zi's ear, a bit proud, but Gu Zi had no words or expressions. Zhou Xin got into the car and asked Gao Chun beside him, "Are you okay?" Then he asked, "Are you sure he took the camera? I know A Bing is a rough man, but he wouldn't steal your things, right?" Gao Chun blurted out: "He didn't steal the camera, but the photos in the camera!" Zhou Xin was at a loss: "Photo, what photo?" Before Gao Chun could answer, a sour voice came from outside: "Are you all in the car? Keep up, let's go!" The wheels are rolling, the dust is flying, and the convoy is moving forward to the next destination. All topics are temporarily put on hold, and the question and answer is suspended. This morning, Jin Kui also went out early. She and the old lady got on a donkey-drawn cart and went to another village to make long-distance calls.The driver was also from another village, and seemed to be a "donkey" specially invited by the old lady. The road was difficult, tossing and bumping, and Jin Kui kept asking: How far is it, how far is it, does their village really have a phone?The old lady comforted all the way: there is a phone, there is a phone.This distance is considered a long way. You said you were going to the county seat that day, but you couldn’t come back on the day you went to the county seat. The donkey cart traveled along the rugged dirt road, passing through the uninhabited wilderness and hills. It was not until noon that we saw another village that was sparsely populated.The village was slightly larger than Jin Kui's, but equally poor.From the question-and-answer conversation between the old lady and the driver, Jin Kui heard that the place they were going to was the village chief's house.The old lady told Jin Kui: "The village chief's house has a telephone." The village chief's house is in the center of the village, and the man who opened the door to welcome visitors was the man Jin Kui had met at the fair.The man was obviously the village chief.The village chief was very enthusiastic about the old lady and Jin Kui, and welcomed them into the main room, handing them cigarettes and tea.There were two men and a woman sitting in the main room, and one could tell at a glance that they were a couple and their son.The son was born with a simple head and a simple mind, and he was about twenty years old.Before Jin Kui entered the room and took a seat, before she could say anything, the young and old of the family had already looked up and down intently.The father and son seemed quite satisfied, but the mother had doubts on her face: "Hey, this girl is in such a good shape, and her eyebrows and eyes are also beautiful. I don't know if she can bear the hardship? We rural people, no family can support a young lady. what." I don't know whether to ask Jin Kui, the village chief, or the old lady who brought Jin Kui here.The village head replied: "Of course, this girl is good at everything. I have asked her before. She cooks at my aunt's house, cleans up the house, weaves baskets and does everything. She also helps Lao Jiang sell baskets at the market. I have seen all the top leaders. Such women are not found casually, and your family's dowry must not be bad, and the girl must not lose face." The young man immediately turned his pleading eyes to his father, and the man's father coughed solemnly, and then asked: "The girl's home is in Yunlang, who is there at home?" As soon as Jin Kui entered the village chief's hall, she knew that the old lady didn't bring her to make a phone call. She ignored the parents' questions, but turned her eyes away angrily, and turned to the old lady's card that had been on her face since she entered the door. Smiling face. "Grandma, where is the phone?" The convoy arrived in Chongli County, Hebei Province, and stopped to collect wind in a rolling grassland. The scene here is completely different from that of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. The ancient Great Wall in Chongli was built of huge stones. The dragon can't see the head and the tail, but it's still spectacular.A few horse herders drove a large group of black and yellow horses across the city, and the high-pitched pastoral songs in their mouths drifted away with the wind. Compared with the desolate loess westerly wind in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, this place really looks rich and moving. The painters set up their drawing boards, and the flashes of the cameras flickered on and off.Gao Chun lost his camera and was at a loss for a while.A Bing also followed Guzi and others up the slope, and when passing Gao Chun, he said coolly to himself: "Being convenient to others is convenient for you; doing good deeds can keep you safe, and life is rational. He didn't wait for Gao Chun's response, and walked forward with a few shakes. Zhou Xin came up from behind and handed Gao Chun his digital camera. "Take some pictures of mine, it's so beautiful here." After Zhou Xin finished speaking, without waiting for an answer, she walked towards the slope with the easel in her hand.Holding the camera in both hands, Gao Chun was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised the lens, and pressed the cold shutter towards Zhou Xin's slender silhouette. The donkey cart set off on the way back, Jin Kui kept a straight face, and the old lady kept explaining along the way, but in fact it became darker and darker. "I told them that you have a partner and you have a partner, but they still have to meet you. His uncle is the head of the village, and he says nothing in the village. If you go there, you will not be bullied. He is willing to see you." It’s not bad for you to meet up with a big gift, and you won’t lose a catty of meat. They are sincere, and if the family’s conditions are not good, grandma won’t match you up for this matter, grandma is kind.” Jin Kui stared into the distance, and kept silent as the car bumped. The old lady said again: "I don't understand why his phone can't make long-distance calls. I thought the village head's phone can get through everywhere..." ... The donkey cart ended the day's turbulence. Although it didn't go to the farther county town, it took a full day to return it just for the round trip between the two villages.The moment it got dark, Jin Kui and the old lady returned to the shop.She didn't eat that night, which made the old lady look unhappy all night.She didn't eat breakfast the next day, and she was really hungry at noon, so she ate a big meal, which made the old lady's eyes straighten.After lunch, she lay down on the dining table, wrote a short note on a small piece of paper she found somewhere, and went to the stall in the front room to find the envelope.She saw the old lady whispering something to a man at the door, and Jin Kui recognized that it was the father of the blind date young man.The young man's father held an envelope to the old lady, but the old lady pushed back and forth and refused to accept it. The man simply put the envelope on the stall, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village. The old lady chased her out, yelling: "Hey, wait a minute, please speak clearly..." Jin Kui looked at the envelope thrown on it, the seal of the envelope was not sealed, could it be I saw a stack of banknotes inside, and the thickness was about 1,000 yuan. Of course, this is a large number in such a remote area. The old lady came back, talking to herself, raised her eyes and saw Jin Kui holding the banknotes in her hand, she couldn't help but stopped in a daze.Jin Kui obviously guessed that the money thrown down by the man must be related to her, saying that it was a dowry gift seemed too light, and saying that it was a hard work for the old lady's benefit seemed too generous. Jin Kui threw the money back to the stall, took the envelope containing the money, turned and went back to the back room.The old lady stared at the banknotes on the stall, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or guilt, she opened her mouth, but said nothing. It was a habit in the small village to have dinner very early. Before the meal, Jin Kui went to the well to fetch water, stepped on the empty step and twisted his left foot.When it was time to light the lamp and boil the oil after dinner, Jin Kui sealed the envelope she had received during the day, and limped to the old lady: "Grandma, do you have any stamps at home? Where do we send the letters here?" " The old lady asked vigilantly: "Send a letter, to whom?" Jin Kui replied: "Give it to my classmates, my classmates from art school, I will ask them to send me some money." The old lady said: "Oh, send it to a classmate. I will go to Poxia Village tomorrow, and I can post letters there. There is a postman who passes by Poxia Village every week. I will ask the people in that village to deliver the letter to him." Jin Kui hesitated a little worriedly, but couldn't think of any other way, so he had to put the letter in the old lady's palm. In the morning, the team is ready to go.Lao Suan took the car as usual to count the number of people, check the luggage, and then announced the departure in a loud voice: "Let's go! Mutianyu! The lead car drives slowly, everyone follow closely, let's go!" The word "Mutianyu" made A Bing and Gu Zi on the station wagon look at each other silently, and Zhou Xin on the front seat of the front car felt uneasy.She asked Lao Suan who had just gotten into the car: "I heard that there is... Jiankou Ridge at Mutianyu?" Lao Suan replied: "Yes, the Jiankou Great Wall can be regarded as the most dangerous section of the Great Wall. We can see it today. A girl like you who pursues excitement and loves adventure must feel good!" Zhou Xin was startled: "Why am I pursuing excitement?" Lao Suan said: "If you pursue art, it's fine. If you pursue art, you have to go to Jiankou Ridge. That place is a painting from any angle. It's just that the mountain is high and windy, but it's dangerous. Do you dare to go up there?" ?” Contrary to Lao Suan's expectations, Zhou Xin didn't say a word, but seemed worried: "If it's really dangerous, you are the leader, why bother to let everyone take this risk?" Zhou Xin's "frightened" made Lao Suan feel a little abnormal, "Hey, there is something you are afraid of? It's okay, if something happens to you, we will recognize you as a martyr, hahaha, it's okay." Lao Suan ordered Gao Chun: "Drive steadily! There is no need to rush to be a martyr." The convoy rolled up smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust held up the sunlight and diffused to the narrow entrance of the road, covering the red light for slowing down at the rear of the car. The convoy borrowed the Sixth Ring Road and headed eastward.After entering the mountains, the road becomes narrow.On the way, Gao Chun and Zhou Xin were all silent, only the old and sour Xiao Hou chatted occasionally.Behind them, A Bing in the station wagon was staring at the rear of the car in front, his eyes were abnormally serious.Gu Zi, who was beside him, showed a little panic in his seemingly dignified expression. The convoy is connected head to tail, winding and turning, and the Mutianyu Great Wall is in sight. At the entrance of Mutianyu, there are very few tourists. The painters abandoned their cars and climbed the mountain, and walked towards the cableway.Gu Zi suddenly came over and whispered to Zhou Xin who was standing next to Gao Chun: "Everyone's things are in the car, it's best to leave someone to watch the car, let Gao Chun stay, and don't let him go up with us. " Gu Zi was unusually kind, but Zhou Xin still asked strangely, "Do you mean old and sour?" Gu Zi said: "No, I'm worried about the crowds here, so don't let people pry the car door again." Zhou Xin stared suspiciously at Gu Zi's lowered eyes, and asked again: "There was no paid parking lot before and we didn't specially keep anyone to watch the car. Why did we keep it here instead?" She turned to Gao Chun and asked, "Gao Chun, would you Do you want to stay, or do you want to go up with us?" Gao Chun glanced at Gu Zi and said, "I can do whatever." Lao Suan rushed over and shouted: "Don't dawdle, let's go, let's go, hurry up! " Zhou Xin asked for instructions: "Do you want someone to watch the car here? Do you want me to stay with Gao Chun?" Lao Suan replied without hesitation: "Look at the car, let's go, get on all you can." He said to Zhou Xin: "You can abstain when you climb the Great Wall later, that place is too dangerous, ma'am exempt." Guzi seconded Lao Suan again: "Let Gao Chun stay and look at the car, this person is too complicated, let's not let anyone pry into the car." Lao Suan said: "We don't have any gold and silver treasures in the car, what to pry. Gao Chun will go with everyone, and don't care about the cable car fee for one more person. If boys don't climb the Jiankou Great Wall, it's not a waste of time." " Lao Suan walked forward, and Zhou Xin whispered to Gao Chun: "Let's go, follow me, don't walk around by yourself." Gao Chun said, "Are you afraid that I will get lost?" Zhou Xin said, "I'm afraid you will get out of danger indiscriminately!" Gao Chun said, "What's the danger?" Zhou Xin glanced at Guzi who was following behind him in a muffled voice, and said to Gao Chun, "I'm afraid I might be in danger, so I ask you to protect me at any time, okay?" Gao Chun said, "Oh." They walked up the mountain, Gu Zi followed behind them, he looked at their backs, and his eyes met A Bing who was looking coldly at the front steps.Guzi lowered her head as if she had been scalded, and walked towards the group of people ahead. The cable car slowly went up one by one. Gu Zi was supposed to be on the same car with Zhou Xin, but Zhou Xin pulled Gao Chun along.A Bing approached the awkward and dazed Gu Zi with a sneer, and whispered: "Love is the love of others, enmity and hatred. Let's go on the same boat with me!" Gu Zi had no choice but to squeeze into a car with A Bing, and followed Zhou Xin and Gao Chun , Fly across the mountains. The finish point was not high, and the painters got off the cable car. Instead of walking towards the newly paved section of the Great Wall full of tourists, they went straight west to the ancient Jiankou Great Wall.The Jiankou Great Wall has never been repaired, and it still retains the historical traces of the collapse over the years. Not only is the wilderness real, but as Lao Suan and A Bing said, it is indeed extremely dangerous.The barrier walls of the enemy towers are all built on the cliffs, and the natural moat is completely formed, which is amazing. The painters choose their angles and paint on the frame.Gao Chun stood by Zhou Xin's side, watching her outline the dangerous peaks and towers, the picture was majestic.Gu Zi was at a crenel not far from them, looking around, not in the mood to write.Gao Chun watched it for a while, and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Xin: "Where are you going?" "I'll make it easier." "Is there a toilet here?" "Cough, it's such a high mountain, standing on the top of the city and peeing down, it will disappear when it floats halfway." "Oh, don't go far. You are my bodyguard today, you have to do your duty!" "Oh." Gao Chun left, feeling a little bewildered.He walked through a section of ruined barrier wall, turned to a beacon tower, and looked at the mountains and fields from the hole in the wall. There were no people in the deep valley.He finished his convenience at a corner of the remnant wall, and before he had finished fastening his pants, he heard voices behind him. "Hey, can you do me a favor, please?" Gao Chun was startled, and turned around to see a dark figure standing in the opening of a coupon door. The man's body leaned forward slightly, and his face was clearly divided by a ray of sunlight.In fact, there is no need to look at the half-yin and half-yang face, but the tone of the voice is already familiar. Above the ruins of the empty mountain, A Bing's words echoed, floating in the air for a long time. "I want to take a picture here, can you press the shutter for me?" Gao Chun looked at him vigilantly, but didn't make a sound right away. A Bing's voice was full of smiles: "Just a moment." Before he finished speaking, Ah Bing raised one hand, and what he handed over was a camera.That was the digital camera that Gaochun lost.The camera hadn't changed or been damaged at all, and Gao Chun was extremely jealous. The eyes of the two faced each other hostilely. It may only have been a few seconds before Gao Chun calmed down and said, "Thank you for returning it to me. Have you deleted all the photos in it?" A Bing smiled coldly: "No, I keep them all. I respect other people's privacy and the fruits of their labor. Don't worry, which beauty you have been secretly photographing these days, I will keep it a secret for you, and I will not let Gu Zi I know. Take it, really, I haven’t touched the things inside. Please help me take another picture of me standing here. If you want this scene, you can take it there. It’s so beautiful here, if people die It’s worth it here.” Gao Chun connected the camera, checked the front and back, and found no abnormalities.A Bing pointed to the crenel behind him: "You go there to shoot, I want a full body, one is enough." Gao Chun hesitated for a moment, wondering if the conciliatory smile on A Bing's face was real or not.He took the camera, turned around and walked towards the crenel. Two steps away, there was a scream behind him, followed by a sound of rubble, as if something had slammed into the corner of the wall.Gao Chun looked back in surprise, he saw an unexpected scene, A Bing and Gu Zi rolled together, it was almost a life-and-death struggle.He hesitated for a moment and rushed forward, he rushed forward just to pull the two of them apart. But it was too late, Gu Zi was hit hard on the head by A Bing and fell to the ground.Only then did Gao Chun see clearly that A Bing was holding the murder weapon in his hand. The murder weapon was a long-handled wrench for unloading wheels, and it was this wrench that caused Guzi to bleed out. The appearance of the murder weapon turned the "fight" into a murder. Gao Chun rushed up to try to grab A Bing, but A Bing swung a wrench on his arm, and the camera in his hand flew out of the barrier wall and melted into the scorching sunlight of the valley.Gao Chun staggered, his feet were unsteady, and he sat down on the broken bricks and rubble in the corner.He only saw the long-handled wrench raised high above the top, and A Bing's burly body pressed down like a mountain. With a dull bang, the mountain-like body slammed heavily on Gao Chun's body. A Bing's huge head was tilted on Gao Chun's shoulder, and the blood from the back of his head stained Gao Chun's clothes.Gao Chun's horrified eyes looked through the bloody head and neck, and what he saw was Zhou Xin's pale face.Zhou Xin was holding half of a bloody city brick in his hand, and the sound of the city brick falling to the ground was the final epilogue of this life-and-death struggle. The painters were in shock, carried the wounded down the mountain, and their passionate sketching of the Jiankou Great Wall was hastily interrupted by the murder.When the police who received the report rushed to the hospital, A Bing, who had suffered a head injury, had just woken up. With the permission of the doctor, the police entered the emergency room and interrogated him briefly.Gu Zi, who was also injured on the head, was bandaged and recovered. She was supported by Zhou Xin and was also investigated by the police in an office.Lao Suan Xiaohou and several other painters sat on the benches in the hospital corridor, waiting for the whole incident to end. In another office, the police inspected the camera that was once stolen by A Bing, and then said to Gao Chun who was standing aside: "We found it after more than 20 people searched for three hours, and it didn't fall." Bad. But there is nothing in it, and all the photos have been deleted." It was very late, and Zhou Xin, Gao Chun, Gu Zi and Lao Suan returned to the hotel.Zhou Xin didn't talk to Gao Chun, and helped Gu Zi into the room.Gao Chun stood in the courtyard of the hotel, staring at Zhou Xin's back in a daze. Xiao Hou said, "Gao Chun, let's live in this room." This morning, there was no sun, and the color of the sky was a bit like the mood of painters.Everyone walked out of the hotel and got into each car. Lao Suan supervised and counted the personnel as usual, and the whole team was sluggish. At noon that day, they saw the sea. The sea is like the end of the earth, and the gray color meets the sky, which at least declares that the Great Wall cannot extend infinitely, and when it meets the sea, it will be exhausted. They boarded Shanhaiguan and sketched the shape of Shanhaiguan's stalwart on the drawing board.Before closing the mountain on a dark day, they drove to the old dragon head at the end of the Great Wall, where they congratulated and celebrated.The conquest and worship of the Great Wall ended here, and the expedition of art came to a successful conclusion. Some people opened champagne to add to the fun, and clinked glasses indiscriminately to vent their emotions.Gu Zi was also infected by the atmosphere, forgetting the still painful wound on his head and the life-and-death struggle yesterday, he hugged Zhou Xin heartily and shed tears of emotion. Only Gao Chun did not participate in this carnival. At the moment when everything was about to end, he stood alone at the end of the Great Wall, as if he saw his love rushing thousands of miles like the Great Wall, disappearing without a trace in a flash. Zhou Xin was warmed by Gu Zi's embrace, but his eyes were touched by Gao Chuncheng's back.She didn't disturb Lonely in the past, but Gao Chun's distant silhouette made her mood suddenly out of tune with the excitement around her. Jin Kui's left foot became more and more swollen. She didn't go to the ground or go out for a day.When the lamps were lit at night, the old lady welcomed a few men and women who came in a hurry into the house, and took them directly to Jin Kui's bed in the back room.An old man who looked like a doctor pinched Jin Kui's legs and feet for a while, and told everyone that it was just a sprain and contusion, not a bone injury, just need to activate blood circulation to remove stasis, and rest for a few days.Instruct Jin Kui to lie still and not move for the next few days, let alone go out for a walk. Jin Kui saw that among the visitors were the young man on a blind date and his father, and the quack doctor seemed to be invited by them, and the diagnosis and treatment plan were mainly reported to them. After the diagnosis, they accompanied the Chinese medicine doctor to the outhouse to prescribe the medicine. The father told the old lady that he could let his son ride a bicycle to the town to get the medicine tomorrow, and try to bring it over and take it before dark tomorrow night.There is a medical station in the town, which is also privately run, but I don't know if the medicine in this prescription is available. Jin Kui lay on the bed in the inner room, listening to the discussions of the men in the outer room.I don't know whether to be grateful or panic.I have been unable to move an inch, everything can only be resigned to fate. The next morning, the old lady cooked breakfast and brought it to Jin Kui's bed. The breakfast had meat and vegetables, which was much richer than usual.The old lady also filled the old man with meat dishes and brought them to the dinner table for him to eat.The old lady said to Jin Kui: "This is all from the Zhao family in Poxia Village. You see, I am right. This family is really good. They rushed over when they heard that you were injured. The old Chinese doctor was also brought by them. Come here, I bought so much food again, let me make up for you. Today, that kid from the Zhao family went to the town to get medicine again. If he can’t deliver it today, he can deliver it tomorrow.” 金葵马上放下碗筷，说：“我可不吃他家的东西，奶奶，咱家昨天剩的饼呢？” 老太太皱眉：“哟，你这孩子怎么这么倔呀，怎么翻脸不认好心人呀。” 金葵下床，跛着脚往灶间走：“我自己去拿。” 老太太生气地骂道：“真是个不讲情义的东西，那饼子我早喂狗了，你不吃就饿着，饿死你，你就知道谁好谁坏了。就是吃太饱了，吃饱了的人，全都不懂道理！” 金葵扶着灶间的门框，没有回头，没有回嘴，眼里含了眼泪，忍住没让它流出。
