The land area of Sikkim is very small, so small that it is about the size of a large city in China, such as Shanghai. Sikkim is not much larger than Shanghai.
Unfortunately, we have never heard of this country before. We only learned this bit of common sense knowledge about it through Brother Chengxin’s conversation with the Sikkim border official.
After knowing the news, Brother Chengxin began to communicate with the official again. According to Brother Chengxin, since Sikkim is not big, can you send us all the way to the capital of Sikkim, where it will be more convenient for us to transfer to India? After all, we are not willing to delay too much in a place we are not familiar with.
In order to obtain such convenience, we naturally need necessary benefits. In order to consider all aspects, our money was also exchanged for part of the U.S. dollars through certain channels, and U.S. dollars are universal. Brother Chengxin used a little and got it. This convenience.
At this time, we finally saw everyone who had crossed the border before. They were waiting on the roadside and walking all the way, only 5 kilometers away from the border.
Obviously, one escort car could not accommodate so many people. Naturally, this problem was solved with money. After receiving enough money, the official did not know what method he used to mobilize two more cars. , so that we can move on.
But this time, Hui Gen'er was no longer willing to separate from me, and forced Brother Chengxin to sit in another car, while he sat in the same car as me.
"Brother, you don't know how worried I am about you. If Brother Chengqing hadn't stepped forward and told us to run forward, I would have wanted to run back. Brother Chengqing insisted that you were fine." Hui Gen'er said as soon as she sat in the car. Chatting at me, it was obvious that waiting on the roadside had also tortured them mentally, and it was Brother Chengqing's credit for stabilizing the overall situation this time.
I put my hand on Hui Gen'er's bald head and remained silent without saying a word. It took a long time before I said, "We are fine. It's just that you, Brother Lu Shan, made a great sacrifice."
At this time, Lu Shan's face was still that hopeless, lusterless gray-white color, his eyes were unfocused, and he kept mumbling to himself. I'm afraid only he knew what he was saying, and even if others listened carefully, they wouldn't be able to hear it. This is why.
The roads in Sikkim were not in good condition. They were swaying all the way, and Lushan's body was swaying up and down, as if he was a fallen leaf in the wind, and he had no autonomy over his body.
Lu Shan's appearance obviously frightened Hui Gen'er. He looked at Lu Shan cautiously and then asked me in a low voice: "Brother, what's wrong with Lu Shan?"
I also looked at the distance with some sadness, at the scenery that could not be seen clearly in the night, and whispered: "He has lost something so important in his life. The pain of that loss does not mean that I have lost you like snow." Be gentle when it comes to sister and let him calm down for a while."
Hui Gen'er nodded sensibly and said no more words.
And when I said this, most of it was just a guess. Lu Shan didn't tell me his story, but I could feel that the sadness of loss was the same as when I lost Ruxue.
After all, we did not go all the way to the capital of Sikkim, but stopped halfway. The official randomly found a place for us to spend the night. The reason was that the road conditions here were not suitable for night travel, and it was a drizzly day today. night.
None of us had much objection to this decision. In fact, we were almost overwhelmed by fatigue, so it was good to have such a peaceful night's rest.
I didn't even see clearly where the official had arranged for us, so I simply washed up, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. However, when I woke up sensitively in the middle of the night, I found Lu Shan sitting by the window in a daze. The eyes are as bright as an owl.
I wanted to comfort Lu Shan, but I felt that at this time, anything other people said was superfluous, so I simply stayed silent.
I stood up and put on my clothes, handed Lu Shan a pack of cigarettes, and lit one myself. Happiness can be passed on to each other, and shared sadness can be infected with each other. Lu Shan's sadness naturally aroused my emotions. Worry.
The drizzle has slowly stopped in the middle of the night. When I open the window, I don't know when a bright moon has risen into the sky, illuminating the night after the rain has stopped for the first time. The shadows of the mountains in the distance and the dripping bananas nearby. Leaves, wet sky and earth, damp mood, it turns out that the place where we rest is a large residential house, but this is also the first night in a foreign country.
Ruxue, how are you in Dragon Tomb? Are you still the same as before? Or in that environment, have you transcended the fetters of the world and forgotten me
With such sadness, the pictures in my mind kept changing, that weak body carrying my life with its life, that incomparably beautiful back in the sunset, that glance that turned around when we first met, that A photo of me with a stiff smile, and a promise that is destined to be impossible to fulfill every winter.
"At this time of year, let's watch a movie, okay? Chengyi!"
"Chengyi, don't look back, don't look back!" Brother Chengxin held my head forcefully and pulled it away.
However, there is no turning back, and that back figure gradually disappears into the depths of the Dragon Tomb, right
Tears finally blurred my eyes, and even the cigarette I inhaled into my lungs couldn't soothe my sadness and longing at the moment. Next to me, there was a man who also shed tears like a fool - Lu Shan.
I raised my head, wiped away the tears from my eyes, turned around and patted Lu Shan heavily on the shoulder: "There is still time, you can go back to Baima and get back the drum. The important thing is that you have Hope." At this point, I paused for a moment, looked at Lu Shan with a somewhat relaxed expression, and continued: "I once had a very beloved woman. I know where she is, but she is a woman who may never be with me in my life. There is no place I hope to reach, but I tell myself that I still have to go. That is my hope to comfort myself. Do you understand?"
Lu Shan looked at me, his hands trembling a little. He rubbed his face tiredly and said, "Do you want me to understand that people have hope?"
"No, what I want you to understand is that you have real hope, a brother like me who promises you that he is willing to fight with you even if you go through sword mountains and seas of fire. Instead of being like me, who only has one comfort I don’t even have a foundation for my own hope. Could it be that in this life, you still can’t walk in front of Manrenba?” I whispered.
"Brother?" Lu Shan raised his head and looked at me with moved eyes.
"We have been brothers since you brought us to the border. In our hearts, there is no difference in status between you and each other, because we understand what you have sacrificed." I said seriously.
"But, you don't know everything about me, how do you know what I sacrificed?" Lu Shan stood up and looked out the window with me.
"Yes, I don't know everything about you, and I'm still waiting for you to tell me. But how could your sadness be just a pretense? I've experienced the same sadness as you." I said, pretending not to care. , but at this moment, the bitterness in my heart was rolling like an ocean, spreading throughout my body. I almost didn't dare to think about the word "Ruxue" anymore, I was afraid that I would go crazy.
"Chengyi!" Lu Shan's hand suddenly slapped my shoulder heavily, and he suddenly burst into tears and said: "No matter... whether she is alive... or has become a holy weapon... I will always be with her. Accompanied by... I have never left her... She is the purest... purest and noblest snow lotus in my heart! But... now..." Lu Shan patted his chest until it was so loud ' and then said: "It's so empty here now... I can't feel her... she has to exist."
"Then get it back! Isn't it? When you are alive, you have hope. If you have pursued hope, no matter what, when you die, you can let it go with a smile. As long as my life is like this, I can sleep with a smile without regrets. You need to rest." I whispered.
"Well, I need to have a good sleep." Lu Shan rubbed his face again. This time, his face no longer looked like that decadent despair, and a little hope finally lit up in his eyes.
"Yes, hope can always make people live better, at least because of it, life will not be wasted. There once was such a woman, in order to give me hope, she made an agreement for me to be together in the next life. I Accept it, Lu Shan, are you much luckier than me?" At this time, a gentle voice like the spring breeze suddenly broke into our conversation. When I turned around, it was Brother Chengxin.
He leaned against the door frame of the room, with a sad look in his eyes. Is he talking about the girl named Shen Xing? That calm, wise, and light-hearted girl.
I took a long breath. This was a sad night in a foreign country, but I also used sadness as firewood to ignite a torch of hope for us, lighting up the front.
I looked at Brother Chengxin and smiled: "When did you wake up?"
"From the time when you and Lu Shan were standing here and the other was sitting here, crying like fools." Brother Chengxin also answered with a smile.
But under the moonlight, there were tears on his cheeks. I'm afraid it's hard to forget the hug between yin and yang in that room, right
The three of us were silent, and then we said almost at the same time: "I'm tired, go to bed."
The night will pass, and tomorrow, no matter whether there is sun or not, the sky will always light up. As we walk along the road, we accumulate an experience called memory, which tempers our heart.
