Fate, I think, is the convergence and convergence in the midst of all the disturbances. The reason for "gathering and merging" is that we can no longer calm down and take care of friendship. The same should be true for me and Ah Hua in Shanghai. She and I met in Namtso five years ago at the end of July. It was the second day of our arrival in Tibet, and severe altitude sickness made me sit alone by the lake. I was very uncomfortable, I sat down to lower the altitude, and I also wanted to quietly watch the lake in reverie. At this time, a woman with no high reaction came to me with a smile on her face and asked me to take a picture of her. I didn't want to stand up, but her angelic smile made it impossible for me to refuse. After taking a picture of her, she offered to take pictures of me and my companions, and asked me to follow her example from the pose she had just taken, but I couldn't do it. In this way, we crossed paths and separated without talking.

Early the morning of the second day after returning to Lhasa from Namtso, we were going to Nyingchi, and after getting on the bus at the hotel door, we met her again, and we sat together. For the next few days, we were all in one regiment and one car. She was very enthusiastic, and after sitting down, she took a selfie together, and she posted it on QQ. At her request, I added QQ friends at that time (later I found out that she had a notebook with her, and she wrote down the contact information of many people along the way to Tibet. And these people, she has been in contact with after returning to Shanghai. Some of them, she also went to visit each other's cities, and I was one of them). At that time, her screen name was Miki. In the days that followed, her enthusiasm and honesty made us feel like old friends. In Yangzhuo Yongcuo, she cried bitterly about her grievances with her friends. At that time, there was a misunderstanding, and I thought it was her friend who had died, and advised her not to be too sad.

The night before leaving Tibet, she came with us to the Potala Palace Square. Here, I accepted her in my heart, and it became an unexpected bonus of my trip to Tibet.

Maybe it's because of my personality, but I didn't want to continue this friendship when I came back. However, her enthusiasm and frankness "drove straight in" in my emotional world, and we became close friends. A year later, on National Day, she brought her daughter to Xi'an to see me. When she said she was coming, I said, "Let's call every day, so don't come." She said, "Can that be the same as meeting?", and I was very touched by this sentence.

Later, because we both regard each other as our own relatives, we will "interfere and participate" in each other's lives, and I hope that she will be okay in everything. It was for this reason that we were largely out of touch for two years. However, we both know that we have not let go of our worries at all, and we are still the closest people.

The turning point came during this year's Dragon Boat Festival. I went to climb the Taibai Mountain, and when I was resting at the Nantianmen, I met four people who had crossed from Guangdong, and one of them was a woman named "Miki". When I saw the letters "miki", the wall in my heart collapsed. It turned out that I couldn't leave her where she was and go on her own.

So, I asked Ah Hua to travel to Xinjiang together during the holiday, and she agreed.

In this way, we gave our hearts to each other as if we had never been in touch with each other. Since we haven't had any contact in the past two years, I looked through her photos and was surprised and sad when I saw the first one. Her "painting style" has changed, her dress is like two people, and she is too old. After setting the itinerary, I was still very excited to wait for her to come to Xi'an. I also reflected on myself, the unfairness I had to Ah Hua in the past two years, and I felt very sorry for her.

Looking forward to it, she finally came to Xi'an on the 19th. The moment I saw her at the train station, I was a little dazed, and Ah Hua in front of me turned out to be as shrunk as three years ago: her face was small and she was short.

The day I picked her up, it's interesting to think about it now. At that time, I repeatedly told myself that this time we must control the meeting, and stop hugging and crying like we did at the airport last time, but I knew that it was uncontrollable. My nose is sore now just as I can imagine seeing her, and Ah Hua is as excited as I am, and the last time we met and said goodbye, we cried and dizzy.

However, it is really that people are not as good as heaven. That day, there was a serious traffic jam on the way to pick her up, she got out of the car, and we haven't left the city yet. Excitement was replaced by anxiety. As a result, she waited in the underground parking lot for more than an hour, and I was in the midst of a scramble when I suddenly saw an uncertain her in the distance. I called her, she turned around, and we laughed it off. I didn't cry, because she also kept anxiously sending WeChat to comfort me not to get angry with the driver.

We sat in the car and laughed and talked as if time hadn't gone there, or that we were both three years old, but the friendship was still the same. This kind of feeling, which has never been seen in other friends, is an intimate and heart-wrenching!

Two

After Ah Hua decided to come, she arranged to go to Muslim Street during her two days in Xi'an. The reason why it is "certainly" is based on the fact that outsiders are now keen on Muslim Street.

So, at six o'clock in the evening when Ah Hua arrived, the two of us acted as planned, and decided to walk there from West Street. I also haven't walked West Main Street at night in over twenty years. Because I really don't like to go shopping, and I don't like to eat Muslim food. Xi'an has been experiencing high temperatures of more than 40 degrees recently, but fortunately on the 19th of Ah Hua's arrival, the temperature dropped to 38 degrees, which is relatively less hot. Getting off at a stop in front of Qiaozikou, we started strolling down West Street.

In this place, in the discomfort of the past, I can't even find the location of my house's former residence near the experimental theater, which used to be on the street. It's like walking into an unfamiliar street. The reconstructed antique building left my memory in the same place of the years, as if I had never lived here, and the traces of life in those two years have not been left.

Of course, I like the way West Main Street looks now, atmospheric and spectacular. It's just that the feeling of not having any contact with me makes it difficult for me to adapt for a while. Fortunately, the bell tower looked from afar, did not move its position, and remained the same, standing in the center of the cross.

Nowadays, there are fewer people and cars than outside the city, which is in harmony with the atmosphere of the old city. Ah Hua and I held hands and paced, and my heart was full of comfort. When we let pedestrians take pictures of us, it feels like they are all outsiders. When I saw the tower clock from a distance, Ah Hua naturally asked me about my "dream". At that time, when Ah Hua and I walked to the opposite side of the City God Temple, I remembered that dream. I told her that the dream at that time was very similar to now, that I was going from my home to the bell tower. It's just that the three women who traveled with me knew that I had just come from out of town, but I didn't know who they were.

Today, in the glory of the sunset, we are coming, as if we have traveled from ancient times, with the Tang Dynasty behind us and the present dynasty in front of us. Looking up at the Bell and Drum Tower again, I suddenly got up again for a while, and my mood and atmosphere couldn't match.

Soon I arrived near the Drum Tower, but I didn't know where the Muslim Street came from. When I stopped to ask, I was regarded as a foreigner by our enthusiastic Xi'an people, and I was immediately embarrassed. I wasn't sure where to get in, because I used to walk through the hole in the Drum Tower. However, the current drum tower seems to stand on the West Street and can not see the city gate hole, the West Street has developed too fast in recent years, the ancient charm is new, and the atmosphere is magnificent.

After asking for directions, my companion and I walked into Muslim Street.

Inside, as seen on TV, there were so many people that it was like a rally, one after another, and the water could not be passed. Looking at this scene, I really can't figure out what they are doing on such a hot day, isn't it hot? Could it be that they are all like me, accompanying friends who have come from afar? If it weren't for Ah Hua from other places, I wouldn't have come. I don't eat mutton in the first place, and most of the food in Muslim Street is made of mutton.

In the quaint Muslim street, the lights are bright, and there are long queues in front of every time-honored store. A few days ago, I happened to watch CCTV twice to introduce Muslim Street, so I decided on a few of the first delicacies on TV. As a result, we only ate three things, and we were full. Coupled with the crowding and burning inside, it was just hot to death, and before we had walked the whole street, we ran away!

When we went back, we had to take a car on South Street, and after we rushed out of Muslim Street, we went up to the green landscape gardening area at the entrance of West Street on the east side of the Drum Tower, which was also ventilated and cool, so we found a flower bed to sit down and rest. At this time, the lanterns are on, the decorative lights of the bell and drum tower are lit up at night, the golden wall is brilliant, the light is brilliant, spectacular and beautiful. On the brightly lit bell tower, looking from afar, you can clearly see the layout of the cornices and the upstairs, as well as tourists walking around, it feels like the Tang kings have started to work. When I merge with the bustling diners in the Drum Tower, as well as the ancient shops and bluestone pavement, it is really an extension of the old life.

Facing the bell tower, I raised my arms and excitedly called: "Great bell tower, I'm coming!" and posted this excitement with pictures and real images in the circle of friends. A Xi'an native who grew up here, such a way that my friends think I'm funny. They can't imagine it, I really have more than 20 years, and I haven't walked to the bell tower at night. During this period, I drove by a few times at night, and the feeling was not even a glimpse of the light, and I passed in a hurry because of something, and I was not in a mood to meet the situation.

Tonight, my actions may seem exaggerated, and my language may seem ridiculous, but it is a true portrayal of my heart. Because of the bell tower when I was a child, there is not much difference between night and day. Now under the backdrop of colorful lights, it is beautiful, why not make me cheer!

It's half past eight now, and we've laughed enough, and we don't mean to leave right away. Just walk to the guardrail closest to the bell tower, still in the high platform position of the green belt, far away from the pandao and the bell tower. I sat down again, and when I started talking, I naturally talked about the building where I was with the Clock Tower. Ah Hua pointed to the bell tower and said, "Duo'er, you saw Li Shimin in that place above." I told her, "No, I'm just standing in this northwest corner, where the clock is being placed." The king is on the east side of the promenade. The bell tower is as it is, the only difference is that I wrote in my book, I climbed up from the north side of the west side of the ladder made of hemp rope, and the rope swayed, making me di......zzy and disgusting, "It's strange, when I say this, the dream from many years ago is clear and normal, and even the feeling of "disgusting" comes flooding up.

My friend mentioned this dream because it was the only connection between the bell tower and me. In my dream more than ten years ago, I also started from West Street with three women from our doorstep and went shopping to the clock tower. They had to go up to the bell tower, so I had to climb up after them. On the bell tower, I met Li Shimin, who came up from the steps and was cheered by everyone.

Speaking of this, I said with deep feeling: "I really didn't expect that today, a few years later, the two of us can sit here and look at the bell tower and recall the scene in our dreams." I didn't even think to come and see the clock tower after that dream. ”

Ah Hua said excitedly: "We must have a deep, deep fate, our hearts are together." ”

Then we talked about the people we knew together, and we were very excited. It's amazing how we feel about each other, that is, our hearts are like "hearts and souls", understanding and understanding each other. I just think that in this world, it is really rare and precious to have such a heart-to-heart friend.

After chatting for more than half an hour, I inadvertently turned my head and saw that on the top of the bell tower, a full moon rose at some time, just on the top of the bell tower, half a meter from the top, forming a vertical line, hanging in the dark night sky, like a bright lamp placed on the top of the bell tower. The moment I saw it, my heart was shocked, and I felt like a lighthouse or a pearl in the night, showing me the way in this dark night, and let us gather here. So, I said excitedly: "Ah Hua, look, the moon on the top of the bell tower!"

Ah Hua's excited voice changed, "Oh my God, it's amazing, we didn't have it when we sat down!"

A full moon "stands" on the top of the bell tower, and I look up here, and I feel that tonight is a consummation and a reunion. This reunion is me and my friend Ah Hua, it is me and the bell tower, and the "meeting" with the Tang King left on the bell tower of my eternal memory. Thinking of this, I burst into tears of excitement. He couldn't help but stand up, raised his hands to the bell tower and called: "My Majesty, I'm coming!"

Ah Hua was even more excited to tears, although I still didn't ask her why she was so excited, but in the process of her words I still remember, she said, "Duo'er, when I saw you raise your hands in a hug form, I couldn't control myself, I feel that there is really a king on the bell tower." How blessed we are!" Ah Hua repeated that she felt that she saw a tall man at the top of the bell tower, looking at us. I know that her excitement is influenced by me, and there is a reason for our shared story.

I was even more excited and couldn't calm down for a long time. I was already sentimental, but at this moment, the story of the bell tower and me is completely interpreted in this night when the moon is accompanied by the bell tower. It amplifies the meaning of the story itself and sublimates the beautiful emotions in the heart.

When I took out my phone to take pictures of this beautiful scenery, I found that after adjusting the lens, I could hold the moon standing upright. This picture is so beautiful, we are excited to shoot, and the bright moon is in our hands.

We happily looked like innocent children, happily looking for a place in front of the camera, so that the bell tower and the moon were in the most perfect picture with us, until the moon rose to the point where we could no longer hold it, and then stopped contentedly. Then he stood by the railing, sharing the luck of tonight. Happy smiles and smiles, tears of joy come and go with our smiles. At the same time, it was with my best friend that touched this magical and wonderful moment.

This wonderful night when the bell tower holds the moon will become another unforgettable moment in our memory!

Here, thank you, Ah Hua, for making me meet at the bell tower tonight and enjoy such a beautiful night, everything is a gift from God, infinite happiness!

The next day, we went to Bald Mountain Meadow again. Originally, I was going to go to the land beam, but Ah Hua's sentence "Is the sky still in the temple there?", I decided not to go to the land beam. In fact, the last time Ah Hua went to Fengyu to climb the mountain, I found out that she went to climb the mountain because she wanted to see the sky. So I'm going to take her to the bald mountain meadow that I went to last week, and the scenery is beautiful. I also decided to go to Fengde Temple to see if the yellow flowers there are blooming?

After arriving at Fengyu, we stopped and went to Fengde Temple, and sure enough, we saw the yellow flowers on the other side. Although there are few blooms this year, I am still very happy.

After a year of anticipation, move on. Finally, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the car drove to the bald mountain meadow. Today's blue sky and white clouds on Bald Mountain are very beautiful!

Ah Hua is very happy, and I am also happy. It was the first time I wore a long dress on the meadow, and this is what I've always longed for. Therefore, the two of us in skirts jumped on the meadow and danced the silk scarves to our heart's content, to present the most beautiful us on the meadow and show each other.

We also had a hearty hot pot on the meadow. I wanted to continue playing on the meadow after dinner, but I didn't expect a heavy rain to come unexpectedly. We hurriedly put the mat on our heads and ran, still soaking wet our skirts and shoes. Walked to the car and the rain stopped again.

This scene was the same as three years ago, when it was also a sunny day in the morning, and it rained heavily after arriving at Huangyu Temple. At that time, we were also on the mountain under the mat. Therefore, I told Ah Hua that if she had the opportunity to come to Xi'an in the future, she would not climb the mountain. Both times it was a nice sunny day, and it rained heavily in the afternoon. The mountains climbed are different, but the result is the same, they are all drenched in soup, and the scene is simply reproduced.

Ah Hua listened to me say this, and looked at me thoughtfully without saying a word. Then, as if nothing had happened, we laughed all the way down the mountain.

So far, during the two days that my friends have been in Xi'an, the mountains have also been climbed, the streets have also been visited, the process is happy, we are all happy!

Eight days later, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we returned from Xinjiang to Xi'an Airport. We talked a lot at the airport while waiting for her to return to Shanghai at 9 p.m. During the eight days we spent in Xinjiang together, we were very happy and intimate, she smiled like an angel, and I liked the way she looked. Her love for me is more than blood kinship, our relationship is admired and envied by those who travel with us, and we both enjoy our time together.

Therefore, I calmly said to her, "Ah Hua, I hope you have a satisfactory life in the future." If fate arranges that you will be alone in the future, then come to Xi'an, we will retire together, I have two houses that are that big, and there is no problem in living together. You can also settle down in Huangyu Temple. ”

She said calmly, "That's for sure." ”

The reason why I told her calmly was because I talked about the house in Huangyu Temple on the meadow, and said that I had fallen in love with a house that could be rented for 20 years for only 50,000 yuan at that time. Before I could finish speaking, she interrupted me and said, "That's okay, let's buy it." ”

She listened to my words today with a calm face, because she thought that what I said was true, so she did not have to be polite to me.

This is us, we meet each other, but we love each other. Sometimes, she will also say nonsensically, "Duo'er, do you think there will really be a male Zhou Yan and a female Zhou Yan, or we will be so good......!"

When we broke up at the airport, we were still crying like life and death. At that time, when I saw her get her boarding pass, I felt a wave of sadness in my heart. As soon as she turned around, the expression on her face changed. She said sadly, "Doer, when I get the boarding pass, I feel uncomfortable." ”

When we get along, there are many such examples, and we always rush to say each other's words. That's it, that's how we are heart-to-heart......
