Chapter 79 (80)

At dawn, the train was leaving happily, and I couldn't fall asleep anymore. I got up and opened the English classic in my schoolbag. On the first page, there were written in large characters "The small city building was purchased on the first day of the university". Two five-pointed stars were drawn below with a red ballpoint pen, and the few college students not far away started a noisy and lively game of cards again, laughing wildly. It's nice to have a few friends who are so handy. Where are you going? Can play cards, can laugh.Although I read the English letters in the book ignorantly, I don't envy them very much, because I have had so many friends who are enough.

really weird!I haven't figured out the big question yet, why would the rabbit never be able to catch up with the old tortoise if it ran ten meters first? The dark and stuffy minibus is full of people, all of whom are returning home with big woven bags or travel bags, wearing dirty underwear and tattered sneakers, talking to each other warmly and gratifyingly in dialect As they talked, an excited smile appeared on their faces. The restless minibus bumped and bumped all afternoon, and finally reached the end when almost all the people on board were gone. It was a small town with only one coal mine, and the end of the small town could be seen at a glance.And there seemed to be only one of everything, a small hotel, a small restaurant, a small video studio, and a coal street.

The next morning, a bearded coal driver took my last pack of cigarettes and took me to a town in front of me. I came to ask me where I was going. I chose the car of a disabled boss, told him where I was going, paid back the price symbolically, and set off again. Little Sanlun wandered through several small villages and forests as if drunk, and stopped on a small hillside at noon. I understood what he meant, the small three-wheeled car can only be driven here, or it will not be able to go up after a while, and he can't go down to push the cart because he has no legs. When walking down the hillside, I was quite comfortable, as if I didn’t have to exert myself, someone behind me was pushing you forward little by little. The steps became bigger and bigger, and the wind on my face began to feel cool and pleasant. Suddenly I ran happily with my bag on my back, just like the time I played with Xiaohong, she sat on the top of the hill and shouted, and I ran down the hill to see if it was me who ran farther or her shouting.But I still lost that time, and ended up buying her a bag of plums. Although I ran so far that I couldn't see her, I still couldn't get to the place where I couldn't hear her cry.

As soon as I ran down the hillside, I was already exhausted, and the scenery on the road began to deteriorate. Except for a few sparse vegetable fields, there were some vegetable seedlings that I didn’t know well, and the rest were scattered everywhere. It was barren weeds and small blisters, and the small trees beside the road were also soaked in some mud spots and dirt after the rain. Some small animals baked by the scorching sun made all kinds of squeaky noises. Yelling, although I didn't yell, but I was also panting heavily from exhaustion. After a while, a tractor also came panting from behind me, and the strong black driver waved his big hand at me, beckoning me to go up.Although the mandarin of the little black driver is very heavy, he can still understand it. I told him that I was visiting a distant relative from the city, and he also happily told me about the general situation of the nearby villages. With his experience of working in the city for the past two years, I didn't expect him to be one year younger than me, married and have children.

My heart started beating violently for some reason, so I carefully asked him about the situation of our young people of the same age in the vicinity, and he laughed and replied: "Where are there any young people? There are not many houses in the village that are not barren." That's right, young people have already gone to the city to earn money to marry their wives!I pretended that it was a good thing again, and carefully asked him about the family's affairs. Unexpectedly, he laughed even harder, and told that the family had already moved away, and the old mother was killed by someone who didn't know. The arrogant bastard son died of anger.

"That kid came to our village Dahe to take a bath when he was young. I have seen him before, but I will see him again when he grows up. He seems to have never come back after what happened. If he dares to come back, he must be punished by their village. He was hammered to death! I heard that the big guys in the village raised money for him during his school years!" "Oh, do you know him?" "I don't know. I heard about it too!" At the entrance of a village full of piles of dirt, the little black driver turned off the tractor and told me that I had arrived. I got off the tractor and tried to give him a few dollars, but he refused to accept it and told me that I must go to their village to find He went to play, the big river next to his village can take a bath, and there is a floating restaurant next to him where he can drink and eat. He said that he hasn't played there for a long time with young people of his own age.

That village is much bigger than I imagined. There are rows of farmhouses all over the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. It seems that the time for eating has passed. It's really beautiful. After walking around the village, I really can't see a few young people. Every door has broken Spring Festival couplets and blessings pasted on the door of the Chinese New Year. The sound of barking and the smell of feces, and a few yellow-flowered dogs wandering around freely looking for food passed me by hungry, which really scared me into a cold sweat. After staring at them for a long time, I found that they were not After I didn't clean up my intentions, I couldn't help but feel that the scenery that they don't have in the city is very cute.

The small dark grocery store was filled with brands of cigarettes, drinks and food that I had never seen before. I picked a bottle of mineral water that looked pure and transparent, and bought a ham sausage. The tree stump in front of the door of the family sat down to rest, and after a while, the child of that family found me, wearing a large skirt full of water, standing at the door with his fingers in his mouth and looking at me strangely, I smiled and looked at me. She beckoned and broke a piece of ham sausage for her. She came over and grabbed the ham sausage, quickly pulled her fingers out of her mouth and stuffed the ham sausage in. While chewing relish, she still looked strangely I.After eating most of my ham sausage silently, she seemed to be full all of a sudden, turned around and ran back home happily.

Immediately, adults shouted and children cried bitterly. I got up and looked into the courtyard. The adult of that family was also dragging the child towards me. Pulled it out, it was sticky all over his face.After a storm of questioning and cross-examination, it was confirmed that I was not a human trafficker who abducted and trafficked children. The adults gave me a look, dragged the crying child, and turned back resentfully. After I calmed down a bit, I looked at the one next to me. The lively old man asked where the family that had moved away lived before. He looked at me hesitantly, and when he saw that I was indeed not a villain, he sighed and replied that the family’s house had never been injured since the flood that year. Able to build a house, the whole family used to live in a temporary earthen shed, but later they moved away, and the earthen shed was demolished to build a house.

I walked around the village again, and there were desolate scenes of poverty and desolation everywhere, without poetry and without the ruthless aftertaste that the boss told me. In the afternoon I finally walked into that elementary school. Four small bungalows formed a small playground in a zigzag shape. There was no red flag on the flagpole in the middle of the playground. move things. A school leader with the appearance of an old literacy gentleman asked me why I came, looked at me like a monster, and then told me with a serious face that the school was going to be demolished, and everything would be moved to the school in the county. Students also have to go to school in several nearby villages. There are basically no teachers to teach here this semester, and students basically don’t come to school but work at home. The school’s house and yard will soon be converted into a village wood factory. It is impossible to need any teachers here.

Walking out of the school gate, the sky seemed to be getting dark for no reason. When I ran up to that hill, the sky became more and more gloomy, and the whole village was shrouded in a gray tone. People who collected clothes, called children, drove cattle and ran home from the fields were all bustling. Everyone is busy, and everyone seems to be preparing for a heavy rain. The earth embankment at the entrance of the village still looks fragile and cute.I sat on the top of the hill and looked at it for a while. Although the farmhouses were all in full swing, the heavy rain seemed to have no intention of visiting immediately. I walked to the other side of the hillside. This side may be the shady side of the hill, and there are not many flowers and trees. The crops in a few places were so pitiful that they were green and yellow. Looking around, I saw more desolation and despair all over the mountains and plains. I began to hate this scene of decline and emotions, so I ran like crazy. Turning around the mountainside, I saw a lush green grass slope, and my mood improved slightly. Out of breath, I ran over and lay down on it. I reached out to touch the cigarettes in my bag and realized that I had already finished smoking. There was nothing left. I closed my glasses hungry and gasped for a while, hummed a nursery rhyme and drank a couple of sips of water. When I opened my eyes again, I realized that the sky had cleared up again. The grass slope was shining brightly and cutely, and when a gust of wind came from nowhere and blew on my body, my scalp suddenly became numb, as if I suddenly felt something again. I looked around carefully, except for the absence of the group of children, everything in front of me was exactly the same as the grassland in my dream. I have been here several times, whenever Xiaohong comes back or leaves.But I don't know, this time, is she back?Still, I'm leaving again. correct!I should also eat something happily.But apart from the two big boxes of sleeping pills, I don't seem to have anything to eat.Never mind!No choice is better!Just be happy!The few times I came here, I was happy, so don't disappoint this time! The figure in the distance is a scarecrow, right? Wearing a big straw hat, motionless, waiting there Are you trying to drive away the larks? Where is the skylark here? Lonely little scarecrow, look at your sad appearance Are you an only child too? Now, there are still a few white clouds for company above our heads You want to lay your heart out and tell me? Still, I would rather be like this, be silent with me I seem to be a little sleepy, but I can't be sleepy! my good friends and my mother If I sleep, they must be sad but they know my longing longing And my glass slipper? The sun is so nice! But why do I have a terrible headache I should unbutton my clothes so the sun can shine I this, stabbed in the body The... small... "red" character stabbed in the heart Wait a minute Where will it be my home? Is that the end of the sky? Are my friends over there? Are they looking up at the sky now? Will they look at me, fly to the end of the sky? Big locust tree, I have not forgotten you, how could I forget you you the only guy who knows all my secrets They didn't poach you, did they? Come on, big tree! Tell me, isn't it a bit pricey and silly to express to her in silence like this Otherwise, why, I am still so sad! Big locust tree, I have one last thing to tell you Please thank this world for me! Anyway, she's finally coming to an end Is that a rainbow? Why is there a rainbow before it rains? right!It's not real, I must be dreaming again! This is another mirage, a beautiful and deceiving dream Wind, just blow gently like this don't stop Don't wake this up, Xiaolou and Xiaohong still together dream well!why, good sun How to become transparent? Why is it still trembling on it? Am I going to sleep? Are you wronged? Is it going to rain in her place? Or, whose eye sockets are wet again? "Xiaohong, who is a good person?" "A person who treats me well is a good person!" "Then what is a bad guy?" "You are the bad guy!" "Did I treat you badly?" "it is good!" "Then why am I a bad guy?" "Because... because I treat you better!"
