Chapter 105

The camping place is in Qianyuan Mountain Scenic Park at the junction of Anjiang City and Linshi City, and the drive is close to three hours. The group of them plus the two male and one female bodyguards that Shi Man called for help made a total of nine people, divided into three cars. Chen Zhi and Tang Mo continued to ride in Xia Zhijin's car, saying that even if they were light bulbs, it would be enough to light up only one pair with conscience.

Not long after getting off the highway, they entered Dajiang Town where Qianyuan Mountain is located.

Dajiang Town is located in the westernmost part of the province, with prominent low mountains and hills, unsuitable for farming, and has been ranked on the provincial poverty list all year round. In recent years, the higher authorities have increased their support and cooperated with developers to develop the tourism industry, which has gradually improved.

So, along the way, there is a magical scene of the combination of modernity and antiquity that Lin Xian and the others who have lived in the city since childhood have never seen.

The newly built road where the car is driving is wide and straight, and it seems that you can’t see the camera at first glance. On both sides of the road, you can see rolling hills everywhere, and farmland land hidden among the greenery. The dilapidated and small ones are obviously earth buildings and stone buildings that have been in disrepair for a long time.

Lin Xian lowered the car window, looked at the scenery outside the window curiously, and asked Xiao Wanqing with some doubts: "Aunt Xiao, are those houses really still inhabited? How?" She saw some small houses still in front of them. Hanging clothes to dry, like traces of someone's life, asked in surprise.

Xiao Wanqing looked out of the window on the side, smiled, and answered her lightly: "Well, some people still live. But there are a lot less. When I passed by here a few years ago, this road has not been repaired. Get up. When the road was built, it seems that many houses like this have been demolished."

Seeing Lin Xian's surprised look, she closed her eyes and sighed imperceptibly, and said with emotion: "Xianxian, we can't forget that there are many people in the world who are living lives that we can't imagine just because we live in abundance. life."

Lin Xian is well protected, and his horizons at a higher level are broad, but his life experience and insights at a lower level are obviously not enough. She has seen poverty on TV, but it is still difficult to imagine what real poverty looks like in reality. She doesn't care much about money either, she always feels that having more money or less money doesn't necessarily matter that much, as long as she lives happily. But the real poor and poor world is actually too far away from her, and it is difficult for her to imagine and feel concretely.

After Xiao Wanqing said this, Lin Xian felt a little depressed and embarrassed.

"I was the one who made all the fuss."

"It's okay, in the future, let's go out and take a look." Xiao Wanqing saw that Lin Xian seemed to have been poked by something, and turned her breath to comfort her. "Knowing a little more about the outside life and the outside world, and understanding a little more, is also good for our writing." She used the word "we" to draw herself and Lin Xian together again, and Lin Xian didn't realize it specifically. The difference, but I always feel as if my heart is a little happier.

She followed Xiao Wanqing's words and replied: "This is called collecting materials, right?"

"En." Xiao Wanqing successfully changed the subject. "Xianxian, don't think that the economic conditions here are slightly behind the average level, but in fact, in history, it was once rich and famous. Several historical celebrities are from here..."

Xiao Wanqing had just finished telling a little story about the celebrities here, and Lin Xian was still lamenting that Xiao Wanqing was so knowledgeable and knew everything. Xia Zhijin's car, which had been driving steadily behind them, suddenly started overtaking from the rear.

When passing by, the windows on all sides were lowered, Shi Man, Chen Zhi and Tang Mo all kept looking at them. Then, in the second when Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian were puzzled, they sang to them in unison: "The boundless sky is my love, and the flowers at the foot of the rolling green hills are just blooming... Come on, sing for me..." With singing, the car drove quickly in front of them.

Then, the singing continued, getting louder, and then, a hand was slightly stretched out from each car window, and they made a V behind them.

Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing were taken aback by their singing at first, and then burst out laughing in unison in the next second.

"Ah, are they stupid..." Lin Xian scolded with a smile. "Fortunately, there are no other cars on the road, otherwise I dare not pretend that I don't know them."

That's what she said, but in the next second she quickly took out a hard-shell sketchbook and a black marker pen from the backpack beside her, wrote "stupid" in big letters, and then exposed it out of the window, posing Show it to the person in front.

Soon, the people in front blew up a big balloon and released it out of the window, and each balloon drew a gesticulating "little finger" in return.

Lin Xian jokingly complained to Xiao Wanqing with his head tilted: "Aunt Xiao, there are too many of them bullying us."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xiao Wanqing change the music in the car, from the soothing music that had been playing before, to "Legend of the Phoenix", and deliberately increased the volume.

Xiao Wanqing looked at the rolling green hills and green trees outside the window, turned her face to the side, and said to the bewildered Lin Xian with a slight smile: "Actually, this place is quite suitable for this song, isn't it?" Passing by Xia Zhijin's car, when Lin Xian sang to the opposite side following the music, "What kind of rhythm is the most swaying", the curvature of the lips deepened.

She saw Lin Xian and the others being naive and stupid, as if she saw herself and her friends when she was young. In the past, when she saw such youthful vigor, she would feel envious and faintly disappointed. But today, she only felt relaxed and flying.

Following Lin Xian, she seems to have slowly found a little bit of her past self, as if, slowly saw the vivid colors in her life.

The car drove into Baiye Village, where Qianyuan Mountain was located, and as soon as it drove into a place like the center of the village, before seeing the specific entrance of Qianyuan Mountain, the navigation system alarmedly reminded them that they had arrived at their destination.

The three cars stopped slowly at the same time, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay as they looked at the two concrete roads that forked ahead.

Xiao Wanqing suggested that everyone park the car aside first, get out of the car and ask, and no one objected.

I don't know if it's because of the distance, but the village doesn't seem to be close to the bustling look that a tourist destination should have. The brick and tile bungalows are low and low, and there is a place that looks like a canteen, and there are a few old people who seem to be chatting.

Lin Xian was not afraid of life, showed a smiling face, and quickly ran forward to ask for directions. However, it was a basin of cold water to be greeted with enthusiasm, and chickens and ducks talked about each other. The old people don't speak Mandarin, they seem to speak the local dialect.

When Lin Xian was about to ask a younger man who spoke Mandarin, Xiao Wanqing followed her calmly after a few steps. She grabbed Lin Xian's hand that was about to leave when she turned to leave, and held her, with bright eyes and kind eyes, she bent slightly, and spoke softly to the sitting old man that Lin Xian had just asked, and opened her lips in a language that Lin Xian could not understand .

The five faces are dumbfounded.

After a few words, Xiao Wanqing straightened her waist, turned around and directed to the young girls behind her: "Take the one on the left, go around, and then there will be a fork in the road, go on the right, and then you will arrive. Know why navigating here often seems to fail."

Xia Zhijin asked everyone's questions first, her cold voice was filled with obvious surprise: "Xiao..." She had always been stupid, and she couldn't be as quick-witted as Tang Mo and the others, so she couldn't change her name for a while.

"Just call me Auntie, it's okay." Xiao Wanqing said empathetically.

"Aunt Xiao, you can still speak the dialect here. Aren't you a native of Anjiang City?"

Xiao Wanqing walked towards the car while explaining nonchalantly: "I only know a little bit. In the past, my college roommate was from this area. I learned a few words from her when I had a whim, but now I almost forget it. gone."

"Is this all right?!" Chen Zhi exclaimed. For those Anjiang people who were born and bred but could only hear but not speak the dialect of Anjiang City, Xiao Wanqing really made them ashamed.

Lin Xian got into the car with bright eyes, and by the opening of the seat belt to help Xiao Wanqing fasten, he couldn't help kissing Xiao Wanqing's red lips, and sighed obsessively: "Xiao Xiaowan, how much do you have? Fascinating to know."

On a bright day, outside with the car window open, being attacked by Lin Xian, Xiao Wanqing couldn't help but blushed. Just as she was about to avoid Lin Xian, she saw Xia Zhijin's car driving up beside them. Chen Zhi poked her head out and said miserably: "Lin Xian, please take care of our single dog's mood, ah, how empty and...!"

Before she finished speaking, Tang Mo ruthlessly exposed her: "Please remove the 'men', you are the only single dog here."

In an instant, everyone laughed.

Chen Zhi was disheartened and gave up on herself. She raised her right finger up, slapped hard, and said softly, "Honey, you're great too..."

?

Shi Man was the first to react, laughing and yelling at her: "Chen Zhi, you are enough, we don't want to know about your night life!"

Lin Xian is still relatively innocent, and only later did she understand what Chen Zhi and Shi Man meant. She immediately glanced at Xiao Wanqing nervously, wondering if Xiao Wanqing would mind such a joke, or if she thought they were too frivolous.

Fortunately, the expression on Xiao Wanqing's face was still soft and cheerful. Seeing Lin Xian looking at her, she started the car and said with a smile: "Your friends are all cute."

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xian's friends still dared to laugh and scold unscrupulously in front of him, which showed that they really accepted themselves and did not regard themselves as superior elders.

In Xiao Wanqing's heart, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.

When the car actually arrived near Qianyuan Mountain, everyone looked at the various restaurants in front of them, and immediately felt that this was the tourist attraction. Since it was already lunch time, they chose a restaurant near the parking lot and had a simple lunch before buying tickets to enter the scenic spot.

Shiman brought three coolie bodyguards, which was a great help. They took the transportation vehicle of the scenic spot to help them directly bring the equipment and backpacks that they don’t need temporarily and don’t need to carry with them to the pre-booked camping area, while Lin Xian and the others walked up the mountain lightly, Walk and explore the scenery.

It is the first time for everyone to come to Qianyuan Mountain, and when they arrive at various sightseeing spots, they are inevitably curious. Only then did they realize that Xiao Wanqing was far more knowledgeable than they had imagined.

It was obviously the first time for them to come here, but Xiao Wanqing could always answer Chen Zhi's doubts and curiosity. Later, she became a half tour guide. The same stone, the same cave, was quoted by Xiao Wanqing and explained a little , immediately felt different. Unknowingly, everyone surrounded Xiao Wanqing, asking Xiao Wanqing a few words from time to time, and Lin Xian was almost squeezed out.

Lin Xian looked at Xiao Wanqing, who was walking patiently and gently beside her, strolling in the courtyard, looking forward to the brilliance, and suddenly remembered the romantic look she gave her a surprise last year, and gave a lecture on the stage to fascinate all the students of finance and economics.

It's really, really dangerous. How could she really hug her tightly and reassuringly

In the evening, a group of them arrived at the reserved camping area before the sun set. The camping area was specially selected by Xia Zhijin. It was a flat and safe camping site specially modified under the jurisdiction of the luxury hotel on the top of the mountain. This is almost the highest point of safe camping that can be reached. It has an excellent location for viewing the scenery, and it is very close to the hotel. It is very convenient to get water and wash.

At sunset, the sky is like a natural canvas that has been subtly splashed with a little bit of charming orange red by a skilled painter. Under the brush of time, the layers are blurred and captivating.

Lin Xian, Xiao Wanqing, Shi Man and Xia Zhijin were all shoulder to shoulder, head to head, ear to temple rubbing each other, chatting long and sweet words of love. The single dog, Chen Zhi, murmured murmured that the dog is being abused, and at the same time, while taking pictures of the setting sun and sunset, she quietly helped to take pictures of their moving backs that complemented the rosy clouds, and prepared to wash them out and give them to they.

Lin Xian leaned on Xiao Wanqing's shoulder, interlocking his fingers with Xiao Wanqing, with a smirk on his lips, teasing Xiao Wanqing: "Xiao Xiaowan, happy birthday, I have not forgotten it. This trip, this sunset, is still here. Tomorrow's sunrise is my birthday gift to you. I look forward to sharing every dawn and dusk with you day and night." I took my friends on the trip and said it was a gift for her. Lin Xian I thought Xiao Wanqing would be a little disappointed.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Wanqing believed it, but she was not disappointed. Instead, she stared at her seriously and replied, "I like it very much, thank you." Under the circumstances, he kissed her gently on the cheek, smiling.

Lin Xian's heart softened all of a sudden, she embraced Xiao Wanqing's thin shoulders, and kissed her round shoulders distressedly. Silly Panpan, it's so easy to be satisfied. You should expect a little more from me.

The tent was rented from the hotel, and someone in the hotel offered to set it up, but they needed to pay extra labor costs, which they did not accept. Xia Zhijin suggested that everyone come to the competition, two people in one tent, and see who can set up the tent first, and the group that is set up at the latest will be responsible for preparing breakfast for tomorrow morning.

As soon as this proposal came out, everyone was immediately excited and high-spirited, and even Xiao Wanqing was infected with a somewhat competitive mentality. But she is very good at other things, and she really doesn't know much about outdoor sports. She has theoretical knowledge, but her hands-on ability is not enough.

But she and Lin Xian are not the worst, Chen Zhi and Tang Mo are even worse. These two guys looked at the tent, looking here and there, there was no tacit understanding at all, and they couldn't hold it up no matter what.

On the other hand, Xia Zhijin and Shiman cooperated so well that they didn't look like novices at first glance.

Tang Mo questioned Shiman, "Did you often go camping before?"

Shiman was busy with the movements in his hand, and replied frankly for a while: "No, this is the first time. But when we wanted to play new tricks..." I tried to set up a tent in the house to simulate the situation.

Before she finished speaking, Xia Zhijin covered her mouth when she realized it. It was the first time that Xia Zhijin, who had always been calm and dignified, showed such obvious shyness and panic. Everyone was stunned, and then suddenly realized with ambiguous eyes.

Even Xiao Wanqing's lips had a joking smile that she wanted to hold back but couldn't help showing. young man, really...

As if thinking of something, she suddenly subconsciously glanced sideways at Lin Xian, and Lin Xian happened to be sizing her up quietly, as soon as their eyes met, they both felt as if they were being scalded by the other's eyes for no reason, and their hearts were irritable. After getting hot, they lowered their heads in embarrassment and pretended to be busy.

In the end, Xia Zhijin and Shi Man completed it first, and they enthusiastically helped Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian set up a tent that had already taken shape, while Chen Zhi and Tang Mo's tent that had made no progress was resigned to the coolies in black suits uncle.

The night had completely fallen, Xiao Wanqing played and chatted with a few young girls, and after eating barbecue, they lay side by side on the grass together, staring up at the sky that seemed to be within reach, feeling a little dazed.

How many years have I seen so many such bright stars.

As if seeing the nostalgic look in Xiao Wanqing's eyes, Lin Xian's heart tightened slightly, thinking of the accordion gift that had not been given before, she was a little scared. She turned her head and stared at Xiao Wanqing's soft and charming side face. After a while, she bit her lip and asked her in a low voice: "Xiao Xiaowan, haven't you looked at the stars like this for a long time?"

Xiao Wanqing turned her head and looked at the girl's face that had lost some of her youthful vigor in the night and looked softer. She closed her eyes slightly and said softly, "Well, it's been a long time." She seemed to have made up her mind With average determination, she honestly recalled to Lin Xian: "The last time I lay down and looked at the stars like this was when I traveled with my parents on the prairie on National Day in the first year after college." As if thinking of something, she said in a low voice. , smiled sadly and with a little nostalgia: "At that time, I joked that I wanted to pick the stars, and my father beat me. Later, when I came home from the November holiday, I found out that my father took my The overhead light on the ceiling of the bedroom was replaced with a hanging star lamp."

For many years after her parents left, Xiao Wanqing felt like a knife was piercing her heart when she thought of this incident. Over time, she didn't have the courage and strength to recall everything about her parents.

It's because she doesn't know people clearly and doesn't know how to cherish them.

In this life, she may meet many people again, but probably, she will never meet such a person who silently wants to win stars for her.

It wasn't Yan Jia, Lin Xian felt a little relieved, but then, listening to Xiao Wanqing's tone when he talked about his parents, he felt pain in his heart again.

Lin Xian obviously couldn't hear the voice in Xiao Wanqing's heart, but Lin Xian seemed to have a heart-to-heart, and slowly approached her. In her ear, he confessed to her softly: "Xiao Xiaowan, I also want to Get the stars for you."

In an instant, Xiao Wanqing's heart beat like thunder.

While Xiao Wanqing was still reminiscing about her heartbeat at that moment, her warm breath mercilessly left her cheeks. Lin Xian sat up, pursed his lips and smiled, "I drank too much water, I'll go to the hotel to borrow a bathroom."

"Shall I go with you?"

"No need." Just in time, the three bodyguards got up as if they were going to the hotel. "I'll just go with them."

Xiao Wanqing looked at Lin Xian's leaving figure, and felt that she didn't care about the provocative words just now, and a shameful and hypocritical loss arose in her heart that she thought she shouldn't have.

After they left for a long time, they didn't come back, and Xiao Wanqing felt a little worried after realizing it.

She sat up and was about to call Lin Xianzhi uneasily when a five or six-year-old girl in a pink dress trotted up to Xiao Wanqing with a bright red rose. Said to her calmly: "Sister, a beautiful sister asked me to give this to you. She said, happy birthday to you." After finishing speaking, before Xiao Wanqing could react and ask a few more questions, the little girl ran away.

Xiao Wanqing grasped the rose branch in a daze, looked down along the petals, and saw a piece of paper rolled on the branch. She took off the paper, unfolded it, and on the paper was Lin Xian's familiar handwriting, which said, walk fifty steps towards the hotel.

Xiao Wanqing grabbed the rose, her heart beat faster, and she stood up. She lowered her head and wanted to be with Shiman, who had been watching her since the little girl brought the roses. When they said she would leave for a while, they would take a step ahead of her, and urged her wisely, "Sister, don't keep Xianxian waiting."

Xiao Wanqing suddenly understood why Lin Xian left with an excuse and took someone with her, she couldn't help biting her lips and smiled, then nodded.

She followed the note on the note and moved towards the hotel. By the light of the scattered lights of other camping tourists in the scenic spot, when she walked to the forty-fifth step, she saw the hotel not far away. On the grass at the corner, a small heart shape was formed with red rose petals, and in the middle of the heart shape was a small open gift box.

Xiao Wanqing's heart beat faster and faster. She stopped deliberately counting her steps, and walked slowly to the gift box, knelt down, and picked up the box.

At the bottom of the box, a chic little house was meticulously drawn with crayons, and below it, there were two handsome black characters of "one room". Inside the box is a stick figure house made of six lipsticks. Next to it, there is a small card.

Xiao Wanqing hugged the box, her eyes were like water. On the card, tell her to turn in one direction and walk another 30 steps. Xiao Wanqing did so.

This time, she still didn't take all the steps, and saw the gift box on the grass. At the bottom of the box, there is a warm picture of a woman holding another woman behind her back. Below, the words "two people" are written in black. On the box, there are two clay figurines and a bracelet. On the "two people" font, a heart shape is circled.

The water in Xiao Wanqing's eyes became even brighter. She continued walking according to the card and turned another corner, as if she was about to walk out of the hotel area.

This time, the box was much bigger.

Xiao Wanqing squatted down and saw the gifts inside. For a moment, she wanted to laugh and was satisfied again.

It was the first time she received such a gift.

Inside the box is an LC enamel pot. She and Lin Xian once saw it when they were reading a magazine in the study. At that time, she stayed on that page for a while, Lin Xian noticed it and asked her what was wrong, but at that time, she didn't say much.

But the careful Lin Xian still remembered it.

Inside the carton, "Three Meals" were written in black. She unconsciously opened the lid of the pot, and there was actually a delicate little cake in the pot.

She still had instructions, but this time, the number of steps she was required to take was not many, no more than twenty.

The night was hazy, and Xiao Wanqing couldn't see the scene a few steps away. Fortunately, she looked at her feet seriously.

She walked step by step with her head down, and when she had almost finished the steps, she realized that this time, there were no boxes on the ground. Then she remembered and looked up.

As if the moment she raised her head, the lights suddenly lit up in front of her eyes. There are balloons, written with thin and long lines, swaying slowly in the night wind. On the balloon, stars are drawn in a black signature pen, and happy birthday is written.

Xiao Wanqing clearly saw that in front of her was the one at the very edge of the hotel area, a viewing platform made of protruding rocks. Lin Xian, holding a guitar, sat on a chair with his back against the vast starry sky, and smiled slightly at her.

The girl's smiling eyes seemed to shine brighter than the starry sky behind her.

She climbed up the steps step by step, and the girl looked at her without blinking. She stopped, and the girl narrowed her eyes and plucked the strings of the guitar. She sang a love song with her usual clear voice, but it was soft and provocative: "What do you mean, I know you're not here, but I still ask..."

"I don't want you to go up and down in the sea of people alone, I don't want you to go through the storm alone, I don't want you to go up and down in the sea of people alone..." She hugged the guitar slowly , stood up, and walked step by step in front of Xiao Wanqing who was standing on the last step.

She didn't sing the whole song, and changed the last line of the chorus: "I beg you to accompany me to eternity..."

She put down the guitar, her eyes were like water, and she looked at Xiao Wan's blue eyes.

She seemed to be able to hear the beating of her heart one after another. I can't tell if it's my own or Xiao Wanqing's.

She stretched out her slender catkins, placed them in front of Xiao Wanqing, and asked her softly and reverently: "Xiao Xiaowan, happy birthday. Let me accompany you for the rest of my life, okay?"

Two people in one room, three meals for four seasons, I will share with you what I wish for the rest of my life.

Xiao Wanqing looked at the boundless starry sky and the endless night behind Lin Xian, she looked into the girl's scorching eyes, and saw the stars that Lin Xian picked for her in her heart. For a moment, she felt in a trance that there was only the gentle night breeze, the stars all over the sky, and the beating hearts of her and Lin Xian.

She is just her, Lin Xian is just Lin Xian. Regardless of age, regardless of identity, just two souls that attract each other.

She slowly put her hand into Lin Xian's palm...

At least at this moment, she really wanted to give the rest of her life to her.

The author has something to say: Xia Zhijin: Xianxian, what gift did you give Aunt Xiao

Lin Xian's proud face: I gave her a pot...
