Soaring

My hands fumbled in the dark for a long time and found nothing. The sudden irritability made me finally open my eyes. In an instant, the light on the mobile phone screen stabbed at me, making my eyes white. I quickly rubbed my eyes, blocked the light with my hands, rolled over, and got out of bed. With the scar on my forehead aching, I grabbed my phone and went into the bathroom.

In the early hours of the morning, 3:40 a.m.

I swiped my phone and saw a text message from an unknown number, "Yunmo, I'm sorry." I sneered, the corners of my mouth twitched disdainfully, and pulled the number into the blacklist.

For personal reasons, I've been at home for a week, and I'm unkempt every day. Every day, my phone receives countless calls and text messages from unfamiliar numbers. In fact, you don't need to look at it to know that those are all done by my predecessor Zuo Liang.

Thinking of Zuo Liang, his heart and forehead were aching faintly. Unforgettable.

Suddenly, the phone rang, I looked back, although I was reluctant, but still stretched out my hand, copied the phone in my hand, and after unlocking it, I saw a WeChat, which was sent by my best friend Ling Xiao. I clicked on it and found that it was a voice, and my brow couldn't help frowning, irritable! I've been irritable lately, and I know that the reason for this irritability is that I still can't forget the deception and betrayal from Zuo Liang.

"Momo, I heard you're on vacation, let's go, let's make an appointment?"

I paused, I wasn't actually thinking, my head was empty, I just typed a few words mechanically, I didn't want to go out. I was just about to send it, but I hesitated and clicked delete. Then just lock the phone screen and throw it aside.

"Knock knock knock", I was suddenly awakened by an urgent knock on the door, my pillow was wet, and my eyes were wet. I rubbed my eyes, walked to the door, and asked hoarsely, "Who?"

There was a burst of cheerful laughter immediately outside the door, accompanied by the sound of something heavy on the ground, "Momo, open the door, I know you are at home, open the door, open the door."

I sat quietly on the sofa, watched Ling Xiao walk into the dining room with two big bags, and walked back to the living room, and said loudly, "Little sister, do you miss me?" I glanced at the clock out of the corner of my eye, and said lightly, "No." ”

Ling Xiao didn't care, and said loudly, "If you don't want to, you don't want to, but if you don't want me now, it doesn't mean that you won't miss me for a while, cook, dish!"

After that, she tossed around in the kitchen alone. From time to time, she shouted, "Where's the soy sauce?", "Do you have oyster sauce at home?", "This pot can't work, it's so uncomfortable!", so I couldn't stay in the living room quietly, so I could only accompany her in the kitchen.

A cola chicken wing, an oyster sauce greens, and an egg soup were put on the table. It's simple, it's steaming. The chicken wings are a bit dark, the greens are a bit old, and the soup is a bit salty. But I was very happy eating, yes, for the first time in more than a week, so happy!

Ling Xiao is a loud voice, dancing when he speaks. I was able to become friends with her because of her optimism and big personality. She always said that with such a gloomy and silent character of mine, there could be no one else except her who could bear it. Yes, it can't be, and there are others. So, Zuo Liang, left...

Thinking of Zuo Liang, my heart tightened again, and the smile gradually disappeared. Ling Xiao should have known about this, otherwise it would not have been possible to suddenly appear at my house, but neither of us said it explicitly, she just silently put her hand on mine.

"Sister will take you fly", after a while, Ling Xiao suddenly said happily, "Do you want to go to the deep mountains and old forests to eat tree bark?"

On the train to Ling Xiao's hometown, I couldn't help but regret it. Facing the high-rise buildings galloping backwards outside the window, three black lines couldn't help but pop up on his head. Ling Xiao slept on the bed across from me, making a few dreams from time to time.

"U... Ling Xiao said vaguely, I sounded like a crow, just about to get closer and listen carefully, suddenly banged, startled me, and found that a dark crow was hitting the glass window, blood hung on the corner of the mouth, fluttered, and disappeared. I don't know if it flew away, or if it fell to the ground and died. Dudu left a thin, bloody trail on the glass window.

Ling Xiao suddenly woke up and asked me what was wrong? There was an earthquake?! I pointed to the blood stains on the window, "Crow..." Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, walked to the window, opened the window, and a gust of wind mixed with the smell of trees and weeds poured in. It gave us goosebumps.

Ling Xiao poked his head out slightly, glanced left and right a few times, then closed the window and said to me, "Nothing, are you mistaken?" I pointed to the blood stains on the window, and was about to speak, when I found that the blood stains were gone. Ling Xiao said, are you presbyopia or dreaming or something like that, I also think it may be that I have been too depressed recently. Lying in bed, I don't know how long it took to fall asleep.

Ling Xiao's hometown is in a big ravine in the northeast, and I heard that it is far away from the county seat. Ling Xiao used to tell me about her home, how the air is pleasant, how the people are simple, and how the paradise is in the world. After fooling me for the fifth year, finally, she succeeded.

After more than 20 hours on the train, we got off at a nook and nook. It doesn't seem to be a station, it's deserted all around, there's not even a platform, and I don't know what it's called, but the air is really good. As far as the eye can see, it is lush all around, and the air smells of pine needles. I like the taste, like the taste of Zuoliang.

Ling Xiao pulled the suitcase with one hand and my hand with the other, "Comrades, there is a long way to go, work hard!"

By the time I was halfway through the woods, I had already changed out of my high heels. And because it was getting colder and colder as I walked, I added a coat. Ling Xiao also changed from elation at the beginning to slow down from exhaustion. Finally, after walking for more than 40 minutes, she gloated at me and said, "Honey, we seem to be lost." ”

"What?" I kind of don't believe my ears and get lost here?

Ling Xiao looked apologetic and avoided my gaze, "Little sister, do you want to camp?"

"What do you say?" I continued to stare at her. There was even a moment when I really wanted to pounce and eat her!

"You want to. ”

I felt dizzy, and I couldn't help but think of the first time I met her.

We are both students at the same university. Not in the same major, not in the same dormitory, or even, not on the same campus. She is a popular figure in the Chinese Academy, she is beautiful, can sing, and can dance. The mainstay of the student union, a frequent visitor to each David TV. And I, just me. At that time, I often liked to post some texts anonymously on the school forum, and there were two or three people who left messages every day. Plain as water.

Until one day, there was a person named Wu on my message board, and every time she understood and perceived, she hit my heart, and even sometimes made me feel that she was me.

When I was about to graduate from my senior year, Wu suddenly sent me a private message, "Let's meet."

That day, I was facing the sky, and she smiled. I was a little nervous, and my palms were sweating unconsciously. She took my hand and said softly, "Long time no see." I was surprised at the meaning of this sentence that I hadn't seen for a long time, and I looked up and met her eyes, dark purple eyes. I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that she was wearing the popular contact lenses. She also seemed to read my thoughts, "Purple, your favorite color." I was happy and nodded, "Yes, I like purple." ”

Women's friendship is wonderful, and when they have a common topic, they suddenly see each other late. Although I am very silent, Ling Xiao has endless topics, from my posts, to school life, to future plans, to male classmates, to makeup. Suddenly, she let go of my ponytail, looked at me carefully, and said, "Let's go, let's go buy, buy, buy!"

I still remember that we walked from 10 a.m. to early evening, ate and went to the night market, bought big bags of things, and got on the taxi back to school, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. She leaned on my shoulder, spread out my palm, and her fingers lightly drew a straight line on my palm, then jerked up, ripping open my other palm. "You're a broken palm!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide as she looked at me. I nodded, "Isn't that weird?" and "Kind of special," she relaxed. Brushed my messy bangs for me. "Mo, I'm really happy today. ”

"You're sisters, aren't you? look so alike, they're twins!" the driver interjected in non-standard Mandarin.

We both looked up at the same time, looked at the driver, and then looked at each other. I couldn't help laughing, not to mention, I could see a little shadow of me in Ling Xiao's facial features. It's just that she is more foreign than me, and her facial features are more three-dimensional. "Yes," Ling Xiao said with a smile, "I'm her sister." We, twins. ”

Slowly, sleepiness hit, we were drowsy, suddenly, the car stopped, I heard the driver hehehe, he ”

I closed my eyes and heard Ling Xiao say vaguely, "Uncle, don't make trouble, what kind of robbery!" and then suddenly heard her exclamation, which scared me into sleepiness. When I opened my eyes, I happened to see the driver leaning over from the front seat, with a sharp knife in his hand!

I saw Ling Xiao hugging me tightly with a pale face, and I thought that my expression must not be good-looking at that time, and my legs involuntarily trembled. "Uncle, we're just learning, students... Money, things, all for you..."

The two of us sat on the empty land and watched the taxi pull our money and belongings away in the dust. When I looked up, I was full of desolation.

Ling Xiao took my arm, "Momo, where is this?"

I moved my lips, "Earth." ”

Ling Xiaowa burst into tears, hugged me and shouted, "Oh the earth!" I also hugged her and cried, "I don't know!"

When I was crying in the dark, hoarse, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped crying, she calmly grabbed my hand, and her eyes emitted... Well... Excited light. As if to say, it's time!

I looked at her with teary eyes, her purple eyes were very deep in the night, but maybe it was because I was dazzled by crying, and for a moment, I actually saw two hidden pupils under the purple pupils.

"Momo, my self-taught wilderness survival skills can come in handy! Trust me, my sister will take you home!"

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the two of us were getting more and more tired, dizzy from chasing the North Star with our heads up, and our legs were just walking and walking mechanically. Ling Xiao suddenly stopped, and said to me hesitantly, "You say, in which direction is our school?" I was stunned, "You don't know, then why do we keep going north?" She smiled awkwardly, "Earth, it's round." ”
