It is the sun at dusk, but we think it is the dawn of dawn.

- Victor Hugo, "Notre Dame de Paris"

In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, Feng Ying woke up the sleeping Mancang, and the two began to walk to the town with the stars, they had to catch the earliest bus to the county seat, and Mancang took the train to Beijing alone.

Feng Ying barely slept the night before, and after tidying up Mancang's luggage, she took out all the awards that Mancang had received from elementary school to high school from the drawer and admired them, spread them out one by one on the kang, and read the words on the awards over and over again.

Our child has a future, Mancang Dad, have you seen it?

Every silent night and harvest autumn, I know you're always there.

The fiery red sun poked its head out of the mountain col, Feng Ying and Man Cang arrived at the gate of Jisheng Town Passenger Station, because it was the earliest train, there were not many people waiting at the station gate.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the passenger station house, and with a crisp sound of the door bolt, a woman who seemed to have just woken up yawned and opened the door of the passenger station.

Several people waiting for the bus rushed into the house to buy tickets, and Feng Ying hurriedly followed.

"I'm going to buy a ticket, you stand here and don't walk around. Feng Ying turned back to Man Cang and said.

Man Cang nodded helplessly, and after seeing his mother enter the house, he put down the heavy big woven bag in his hand, shook off his right hand, which was strangled red, and looked into the misty distance......

The long wait had not yet passed for a few minutes, and he still couldn't wait, he had never felt so anxious to leave a place.

I really don't want to stay for a second......

Feng Ying finished buying the ticket, brought a loaf of bread out, and stuffed it into the full warehouse in front of her.

"Eat it, son!" Feng Ying said contentedly.

"Mom, eat it, I'm not hungry. Mancang pushed the bread back to Feng Ying and said, "I never ate breakfast when I lived in high school, and I'm used to it." ”

"Mom isn't hungry, so keep it and eat when you're hungry. After saying that, Feng Ying stuffed the bread into her jacket pocket, twisted her head, and looked into the distance.

Man Cang looked at her black hair, and there was a little dazzling white, and he sighed in his heart that time flies, his mother is getting older day by day, but he has less and less time to accompany her.

The bus finally came, and a balding middle-aged man came down from the dilapidated white bus.

"Ji Sheng will leave immediately when he arrives at Shicheng Railway Station, there is a hurry for the car, he will leave immediately, he will leave immediately!" the man shouted skillfully......

According to the instructions of the ticket checker, he put the luggage into the large trunk on the side of the bus, and then walked towards the door, he waved his hand towards the quiet town shrouded in white mist.

In the cold breeze of the early morning of September, in the orange twilight of early autumn, he threw his yearning for life into the small river on the side of the road, and put the dark and stubborn belief into his arms.

He still has a lot of mysteries in his mind, and before that he needs to make himself stronger, he even has a whole set of childish revenge plans, about an hour's drive from Jisheng Town to SC County Railway Station, and Mancang has a movie about revenge in his head.

The two got off the bus and entered the ticket room of the railway station, where there was a long queue in front of the ticket window, most of them were young people of the same age as Mancang, carrying heavy packages, their eyes were full of anticipation for the future, they were the pride of the city, and the little eaglets were shaking their wings and preparing to fly from here to all corners of the motherland......

The team is slowly advancing forward, and there are people coming to fill the position behind Man Cang, this long queue has never been shortened by a fraction.

"Son, you line up first, and Mom will come when she goes. Feng Ying said beside her.

"Hmm......" Mitsukura tiptoed and looked ahead.

In this way, the team moved forward for a long time, and finally it was Mancang's turn, the train in this small county town only had two departures, one to the provincial capital, the other through Fuyan City, and then transferred to other trains to Beijing, departing at 5:30 p.m., Mancang looked down at his watch, the time was still early, he took the ticket, he carried a large woven bag, and stood at the exit of the ticket room waiting for Fengying.

After a while, he saw his mother coming from a distance carrying a plastic bag of things, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

The bag contained two bottles of water, buckets of noodles, a few ham sausages, and tea eggs.

"Mom, I can't take it when I buy so much food......" Mancang muttered with a frown.

"Eat slowly, there isn't much to eat, I've inquired, you won't be able to get to Beijing until the morning after tomorrow......" Feng Ying said with concern.

"By the way, did you buy the ticket?" Feng Ying asked.

"I've finished buying ......" Mancang took out the ticket from his jacket pocket and handed it to Feng Ying.

"This bus doesn't go directly to Beijing," Feng Ying looked at the ticket and continued:

"Fuyan...... Oh, by the way, your Uncle Zhang Fa is in Fuyan, I heard that you are rich now......"

"Oh, in Fuyan, I know......" Mancang looked at the bustling crowd and said:

"I will definitely visit me if I have the chance. ”

…………

The mother and son found a small restaurant near the train station, sat down and ordered some of the cheapest food, and after a while the waiter served the meal, which was nothing special except that it was very expensive......

After two bites, the two didn't eat, and the waiting room was already overcrowded, so they just came out to find a seat, so they didn't expect too much from the meal.

Man Cang was lying on the dining table, looking out of the window stupidly, his mind was blank, he was about to leave his mother, and his heart was somewhat sad at the moment.

At this time, he saw a familiar figure, looking back and forth at the door of the waiting room, and he quickly sat up straight and hid behind the wall.

The person outside the window is Zhao Yajun......

Feng Ying saw her son's strange behavior, and hurriedly leaned out to look out the window......

"Mom, don't be blind!" Mancang said angrily.

"Isn't that your soldier? I'll call him in. Feng Ying got up to leave.

"Mom, sit down, you recognize the wrong person!" Mancang hurriedly said.

Feng Ying sat down slowly and looked out the window again......

"You...... Is there something you're hiding from me......" Feng Ying asked as she stared at Mancang.

Finally, Zhao Yajun, who was outside the window, looked at it for a while, shook his head and left......

Mancang exhaled softly and slouched back on the table.

"I'm just, I'm a little sleepy, I'll lie down for a while, don't forget to call me when I get there......"

Man Cang slowly closed his eyes, and the noise of the station was all isolated from his dreams......

…………

"Wake up, wake up son, it's time to enter the station......" Feng Ying woke up the sleeping Mancang.

Man Cang rubbed his sleepy eyes, and there was a tingling sensation under his feet, he knocked his legs and slowly stood up.

"Let's go, give me the ticket......" Mancang stretched out his hand and said.

Feng Ying handed him the ticket, glanced at it in the warehouse, and said suspiciously:

"No, Mom, I just bought a hard seat, why did this become a sleeper?"

"It's been such a long journey, Mom thought, it's not much money, so I ......changed the ticket while you were asleep," Mancang's mother replied casually.

The woman in front of her is usually reluctant to spend a penny, so she goes out with this set of old-fashioned hot wool coats and pants that have been washed and faded......

And the difference between the price of the hard seat and the sleeper is enough for her to change her set from the inside out......

Maybe this is the unpretentious mother's love, not earth-shattering, not vigorous, hidden in the trivial things of life, if you don't bother to look for it, you will miss its blooming period.

The most beautiful flower in the world, just one glance is enough to warm your whole body.

After checking the ticket, Mancang disappeared at the entrance of the green train step by step, Feng Ying on the platform, looking hard in the direction of the Mancang carriage, Mancang found his bed, because of his height, he didn't need to tiptoe, and easily put the luggage on the shelf in front of him.

He sat on the seat directly in front of the bed, smiled and waved goodbye to his mother outside the window, Feng Ying also saw Man Cang, waving his arms exaggeratedly, as if he was afraid that Man Cang would not see her.

Suddenly, Mancang saw that Feng Ying began to rub her hands, as if begging the uniformed staff in front of her, the staff shook her head impatiently, Feng Ying's mother took something out of her pocket, pointed in the direction of Mancang, and kept nodding and bending over......

The thing Feng Ying was holding in her hand was the bread she bought for Mancang in the morning......

A whistle sounded, the train started slowly, and Man Cang hurriedly climbed into his bed, buried his head in the quilt, and his body trembled violently......

You've given me everything, but I can't stay by your side and grow old with you.

…………

At 6:00 a.m., the train slowly drove into the railway station of Fuyan City, Mancang followed the transfer team, in the passage of the station, to the transfer of the train, on both sides of the channel is the advertising space of the merchants in Fuyan City, suddenly in the advertisement of a new real estate, a familiar figure can not be more familiar, met the eyes of Mancang.

Even if you turn to ashes, I can recognize you at a glance.

Man Cang stopped and stared angrily at the advertisement in front of him, the man named Zhang Laigui in the profile was Zhang Fa. 、

"Young man, can't you go......" an old man in the back asked impatiently.

"Let's go...... Let's go, I'm sorry......" Mancang hurriedly continued to move forward.

At this time, Zhang Fa never imagined that this poster would become his own talisman a few years later.

In the early morning, the city of Fuyan seemed to be shrouded in a blood mist under the morning light......
