It's New Year's just a few days after Christmas.

On the last day of 2005, I was going to do something that I would never forget, such as watching the sunrise on the first day of the new year. At 758 meters above sea level, the main peak of Beacon Hill is the highest peak here, and it is also a good place to watch the sunrise. In order not to miss the sunrise time, Huang Xin and I decided to go camping on Beacon Hill that night.

After being together for such a long time, Huang Xin still couldn't change the problem of procrastination, obviously he had made an appointment to meet at the door of the girls' dormitory at three o'clock in the afternoon, but it wasn't until half past three that Huang Xin was late.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. This has become Huang Xin's mantra every time she is late, but I am helpless. Even if I'm angry again, after all, everyone else and the girls have apologized, what reason do I have to blame others again?

Today's weather is good, the winter sun is shining warmly, and the whole body can't help but lazy. I heard the seniors say that the consumption level on the mountain is quite high, and a bowl of clear soup noodles costs 10 yuan. In order to save money, we bought a lot of dry food in the student street before going up the mountain, so that we didn't have to buy anything when we got to the top of the mountain.

I was about to leave, but Huang Xin suddenly told me that she wanted to change her mobile card. Because Huang Xin used a Unicom card before, every time she texted with her, she couldn't enjoy the 200 text message discount of Mobile, and making calls was much more expensive than others. Although I often complained in front of Huang Xin, she was too troublesome and refused to replace it.

I don't know why, Huang Xin actually figured it out today, and happily accompanied her to the dynamic zone business hall, and the two of us picked a long time in a large stack of number books, and finally chose a more convenient and easy-to-remember number.

Everything is ready and finally ready to go up the mountain.

There weren't many shuttles up the mountain, so in order to save trouble, we called for a motorcycle in the town at the foot of the mountain. I was next to the driver, Huang Xin was next to me, and I set off like this. Along the way, there were cars and motorcycles driving by from time to time, and the driver of the motorcycle on the winding mountain road drove the car very fast, which made us both feel a trace of inexplicable nervousness, so that we didn't have time to take care of the surrounding scenery.

When we arrived at the parking lot halfway up the mountain, the driver of the motorcycle put us down, and here we can take the cable car directly up the mountain, but since we came, of course, it is better to climb the mountain.

I asked the driver for a contact number, and then we took a short break in the parking lot before we started to climb to the top of the mountain. Looking down from the halfway point of the mountain, I saw a large lake around the campus of our school, but the fog was too big today, so I could see it faintly and a little unclear. The scenery in front of me reminded me of Shuibo Liangshan in "Water Margin", where is this? I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

Stopping and stopping all the way, before you knew it, you came to the ticket office. I heard the seniors say that you don't need to buy tickets to go up the mountain after 10 o'clock in the evening, but it's always unsafe to walk the mountain road at night, anyway, it's only 15 yuan, and you can buy it.

After the ticket office, it means that we are not far from the top of the mountain, and sure enough, after walking for less than 10 minutes, we will see the cascading temples not far away. It seems that the incense here is quite prosperous, and even in the evening, there are still many good men and women praying sincerely in the temple, and the crackling sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere.

After walking around the top of the mountain for a while, it was getting dark.

The pilgrims descended the mountain one after another, and the entire temple was instantly deserted. The two of them walked aimlessly in the temple, and suddenly there was a feeling of nowhere to go, the door of the scenic spot management office was open, but there was no one inside. After walking for a long time, the soft sofa in the management office suddenly aroused our great interest, and I didn't think about it and pulled Huang Xin in.

Sitting on the sofa, eating the biscuits bought at the bottom of the mountain, and listening to the music in the MP3, Huang Xin seemed to be starting to get sleepy, only to see her involuntarily tilt her head and lean on my shoulder.

Only when I was immersed in the scene did I know that the life of living in the mountains was indeed a little empty and boring, and it was no wonder that every time I saw a monk and a Taoist, I looked depressed, and it seemed that Qing Xiu was not an easy thing that everyone could do.

After resting for a while, I thought about going out again. Just went out, Huang Xin also followed.

After dark, the temperature at the top of the mountain plummeted considerably, and the cold wind blew people shivering, and a thick fog filled the surroundings, and no human figure could be seen a few meters away. Huang Xin grabbed my arm tightly, for fear that I would get lost if I was not careful. I don't know how far I walked, a small building independent of the temple building suddenly appeared in front of me, and I looked inside curiously, and there were several monks sleeping in the room.

As far as I know, this mountain is dedicated to some Taoist figures, so how can there be monks here? But thankfully, there are quilts for rent here, and it seems that the trip is worthwhile.

I spent 20 yuan at the monk's place to rent a quilt that was a little moldy, and we didn't want to go any further, so we decided to go back the same way. And at this time, the biggest question is in front of us, where are we going to sleep tonight?

Huang Xin suggested that there was no one in the management office anyway, so it was better to make do with it for a night. I always felt that this suggestion was not appropriate, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with a better way, so I had to nod my head and agree.

Back at the management office, we worked together to move all the cushions on the sofa to the floor, put them side by side into the shape of a bed, and then put the quilt on top. After doing all this, the two of us lay comfortably on the "bed" lined up with soft cushions, and just as we were chatting with interest, an old man suddenly walked in at the door.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" the old man seemed to be the caretaker here.

"Well, there's nowhere to sleep at night......" Looking at the old man's fierce expression, we were all a little nervous.

"There's no place to sleep, and you can't come here to sleep! Look at what you've done here, it's almost your home! Put everything back in place for me! Go to sleep in the main hall, don't run here to make trouble!" After saying this, the old man immediately turned around and left in a huff, and Huang Xin and I looked at each other for a long time, and then came back to our senses.

We put all the cushions back in place in a frenzy and escaped from the management office in a puff of smoke.

There are a few empty beds like Buddhist shrines on the side of the main hall, which seem to be specially prepared for pilgrims to stay, and the first time to spend the night in the temple, people can't help but have a very strange feeling, looking at the gods in the main hall with a fierce and vicious expression, it is impossible to sleep for a long time. Simply not sleeping, the two of them got up, nestled in the quilt, and leaned against the wall side by side.

"Becky, tell me your story. Huang Xin snuggled up to me and said softly.

"My story?" I glanced at Huang Xin and said secretly, I said Huang Xin, you don't want me to tell you about liking your back!

"Let's talk about it. Huang Xin seems to be interested in my past, "Tell me about your former girlfriend." ”

I couldn't help Huang Xin's entanglement, so I had to casually say something about the time I was with Lele: "Eh, that's it." ”

"Gone?" After listening, Huang Xin was a little unsatisfied.

"No, I'm done, shouldn't you talk about yours too?" I tossed the subject to Huang Xin, though I didn't really want to know about her past.

"Uh, I'm ...... What story can I have? No!" Huang Xin seemed to be very taboo about this topic......

Approaching 12 o'clock, there were more text messages all of a sudden, all of which were New Year's wishes.

After hurriedly replying to the text message, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning, and the two of them fell asleep in a daze. There was a wind blowing everywhere in the hall, and a cold wind blew, and a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: I am full of food and support, and I come here at night to suffer, am I having convulsions?

I don't know how long I slept, but vaguely, it seemed that a group of people had entered the main hall, but I didn't open my eyes, and from their chat, I could roughly deduce that they were also students who had come to the mountain to watch the sunrise, just like us.

Those people were playing cards and chatting in the main hall, tossing and turning all night. In this half-dream, half-awake, it was dawn.

After getting up at 5 o'clock, followed by the group of students, a group of people climbed to the highest peak behind the temple in the bitter cold wind of the early morning.

The sun gradually rose, and the first rays of sunlight of 2006 instantly spread across the land.

Huang Xin stood on the edge of the cliff with some forgetfulness, spreading her arms, and the sunlight gilded her figure into a sheet of gold. And I just sat behind her, quietly watching, quietly watching......

A new day, a new year, a new beginning.
