In the morning light, several buses slowly drove out of Jiangxia No. 1 Middle School.

Probably because it was still early, more than 80 percent of the people in the carriage were drowsy with their eyes closed. At a glance, there is a sense of déjà vu that has broken into a field of oil and wheat vegetables, and the green leaf tips are blown out by the breeze in a beautiful arc, and there is a fresh energy in the quiet.

An Ran gently turned the camouflage cap on his head with his hand, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. She sat by the window and looked out of the window.

The short-haired girl sitting next to her, seeing that she was not sleeping, took out a notebook from her bag, wrote down two lines, and handed it over.

An Ran smiled and took the book briskly. She knew that the girl was doing this because she was worried that her speech would disturb her classmates who were resting around her.

The book is a simple kraft paper cover.,There is no line grid on the inner page.,The paper is slightly yellowed.,There's a retro feeling.。 The lilac handwriting is very delicate, floating lightly on the page: I know you, this year's city high school entrance examination champion An Ran. My name is Yun Shen, and we will be classmates in the future, so I'm very happy to meet you.

An Ran waved his pen and wrote: Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where. Yunshen, a nice name, quite meaningful. I'm glad to meet you, too!

The moment An Ran put the notebook back in Yun Shen's hand, the two girls looked at each other and smiled with tacit understanding.

Immediately, Yun Shen picked up the pen and drew something on the page, but after a short while, two lifelike cartoon girls appeared in An Ran's eyes.

The girl on the left has long hair and a shawl with a pair of big eyes, and the girl on the right has neat short hair and a playful look. An Ran instantly realized that it was them who were painted by Yun Shen.

An Ran stared for a moment, grabbed a pen and wrote a sentence at the end of the page: The clouds are deep and I don't know where, and I am safe in this mountain.

Yun Shen carefully tore off the paper, handed it to An Ran, and said softly, "Give it to you." ”

The car drove for nearly two hours and stopped at an abandoned military airfield on the outskirts.

Looking at the dilapidated houses and barren vacant land, An Ran felt a little lost in his heart, and muttered: In the past two weeks, there will be no good days.

She suddenly felt the weight in her hands gradually disappear, and suddenly looked up, Wu Yang had already carried her luggage in her hands.

An Ran smiled, "Wu Yang, thank you!"

The sun hung high in the sky, and the weather was no longer as cool as it had been in the morning, and it began to give off a muggy signal.

The students gathered in groups of three or five to whisper in the open space, and a string of fierce voices came from the loudspeaker: "Ladies and gentlemen, please quickly assemble at the assembly point of each class, and the instructor holding the class card is your instructor for this military training." Hurry up and ......."

An Ran hurriedly walked to a class card with Wu Yang, and the instructor holding the class card had a serious face, and his face was as black as Bao Qingtian.

An Ran couldn't help but think that if the instructor was to put a moonlight on his forehead, the picture would be cool.

The instructor looked at An Ran, who was smiling extremely weirdly, and shouted, "Classmate, where is your luggage?"

An Ran suddenly stirred, are soldiers used to roaring when they speak? She tried to pull the corners of her mouth and smile at the instructor, and took the luggage from Wu Yang's hand as quickly as she could.

After the whole team was completed, a class of students walked in the direction of the dormitory under the leadership of the black-faced instructor.

Yun Shen walked next to An Ran with his luggage, "An Ran, if the bed is divided in a while, let's sleep next to each other, okay?"

"Okay, no problem, but I don't know if the bed can be chosen freely. ”

Facts have proved that there must be a gap between the ideal and the reality, and that gap is not half a star. When An Ran and Yun Shen saw the empty black hole that looked like a big warehouse and the army-green bunks lined up, the two of them were like being struck by lightning, and they just hugged their heads and cried.

The two of them just cried quietly in their hearts with their minds, but there was a chubby girl in the class who couldn't hold back and cried on the spot.

The black-faced instructor shouted, "Go home and cry." ”

As soon as the fat girl wiped a handful of tears, she was frightened slightly by the terrifying voice and expression of the black-faced instructor, and quickly covered her mouth and did not dare to cry again.

Before the girls' dissatisfaction was released, they were forced to be suppressed by this scene. Those who originally wanted to say something silently shut up, and no one dared to complain in front of the blackface instructor. Just looking at his terrifying face, many people will be terrified.

An Ran's belly: It's terrible, it's not a place for people to live...... There are really few people who can stand such difficult conditions!

She struggled inwardly for a moment, turned her gaze to the black-faced instructor, and said loudly, "Report to the instructor, I want to ask if there is a bathroom here, where do we wash?"

The black-faced instructor pointed to a drain faucet at the door of the warehouse, "Wash up and go there?"

An Ran continued to ask, "That...... Instructor, do you have no showers?"

The black-faced instructor replied, "You can't die without taking a bath for two weeks." ”

An Ran puffed out his cheeks and made persistent efforts, "What about the toilet? If you don't go to the toilet, you'll die!"

The silence that had been maintained was broken, and someone couldn't help but laugh quietly.

The black-faced instructor shouted: "Laugh at anything, be quiet, give me a little serious." There are open-air toilets, at the back of the dormitory, and there is a sign on the right turn when you go out. ”

The black-faced instructor glanced at the list in his hand, "The name of each of you is pasted on the bed, please sleep according to the bed, and you are not allowed to change the bed at will in private." Ten minutes later, the playground will be assembled, and no late arrivals will be allowed. ”

The black-faced instructor stepped out of the big warehouse with his front foot, and the girls collectively breathed a long sigh of relief; the black-faced instructor stepped out of the big warehouse with his back foot, and the girls began to complain, and the grievances broke out instantly.

Yun Shen smiled and lay down on the hard bunk, "Ahhhhh!!h ”

An Ran immediately pulled Yun Shen by the hand, "Don't sleep, get up quickly, don't mess up the bed." ”

Yun Shen was puzzled, "I'm tired, let me lie down for two minutes." ”

An Ran explained, "Listen to me, don't sleep, what if you suddenly come to check on housekeeping? Can you fold this tofu quilt? Get up quickly, don't mess up the bed." ”

Yun Shen felt that An Ran's words made sense, and he slipped up and smoothed out the wrinkles on the bed that had just been left.

An Ran looked at Yun Shen, "You said, we are really fated, and we can get a piece of bed." ”

Yun Shen pulled An Ran to the playground and said, "This should be divided according to the ranking of the promotion class, you are first, I am second, so our beds are next to each other." ”

An Ran was pleasantly surprised, "So, you are the girl who is ranked in front of Wu Yang!"

"Wu Yang, the third in the class, the first boy, are you very familiar with him?"

"It's not very familiar, it's just acquaintance. ”

An Ran nibbled on two mouthfuls of steamed buns with a clear soup equivalent to white water in a big iron bowl, and instantly lost his appetite. Even if you live in a "simple" place, I didn't expect the food to be so "simple". White water consommé with a few vegetable leaves, vegetarian fried shredded potatoes, vegetarian fried shredded radish, steamed bread pickles, alas! I can't stand it and I can't eat it!

The girls who ate together around the long wooden table were listless, like little cabbage wilted in the ground. Yun Shen touched An Ran with his elbow, "You say, if we eat like this for half a month, can we still go back alive?"

An Ran sighed, thinking to himself where this bird doesn't lay eggs, where to buy food......! The mobile phone has been handed in according to the regulations, and there is no way to contact the outside world!!

"Eat more. Someone walked past Enron and left a word very lightly. An Ran found that there was an extra small note in his hand, but when he raised his eyes, he only saw Wu Yang's upright back.

An Ran got up and chased to the door of the cafeteria, but there was no one in sight. She opened the note, and the handwriting was sparse and neat, "After the evening training, take the training ground as the starting point, walk south for about fifteen minutes, and wait for me under the big mulberry tree by the Qinghe River, see you or leave!"

An Ran curled the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, she carefully folded the note and put it in her pocket.

Yun Shen held a big iron bowl in his left and right hands, stood in front of An Ran, and asked, "What's a good thing, smiling so happily!"

An Ran took his bowl, "It's nothing, let's go, go wash the dishes." ”

At the end of the training, Yun Shen weakly held An Ran's hand, "I'm tired and collapsed, go, go back to the big warehouse to rest." ”

"What, Wu Yang has something to do with me, you go back first. As soon as he finished speaking, An Ran trotted to find the big mulberry tree that Wu Yang had said in the note.

A lonely path, with no street lights, and the road surface is pitch black. An Ran didn't have any lighting appliances in her hand, she tripped over something under her feet, and almost fell down, she stood still slightly, the moon was as bright as water when she looked up, and she was always not so scared in her heart.

She followed the moonlight, and only slowly stepped forward step by step by feeling, and only when the front foot fell to the ground did she dare to take a slow step on the back foot. After walking a dozen or so steps, a dark figure suddenly appeared, and her hand was held by a pair of warm and broad hands.

Enron exclaimed, "Who are you?

"Don't be afraid, it's me. ”

Hearing the familiar voice, An Ran's heart that had just been hung up instantly settled down, his frowning brows stretched, and he grabbed Wu Yang with his backhand, "Why is this road so dark, there is no light at all." ”

Wu Yang said softly: "You follow me." ”

They walked forward for about seven or eight minutes before they stopped.

The mini flashlight in Wu Yang's hand lit up, and An Ran was puzzled: "You have a flashlight, why didn't you turn it on just now, it's dangerous to walk in the dark like this." ”

Wu Yang handed the flashlight to An Ran, walked to the foot of the big tree, and reached out to dig a bunch of dead branches and leaves, "It was dangerous to turn on the flashlight before, in case the instructor finds the light source chasing after him, it will be miserable to be caught, you must know that you can't go out without permission during military training." ”

An Ran looked around, "There is no light on this road, it is pitch black everywhere, you let me come here, aren't you afraid that I won't find this mulberry tree?"

"I've been following you. ”

An Ran's heart warmed, and he hesitated, "I mean, that ...... It's so dark, aren't you afraid you're going to the wrong place?"

Wu Yang brushed away the last bit of dead branches and leaves, "I have walked through it during the day, and I have memorized the route, and I will not go wrong." ”

Enron was curious, "What's in this bag?"

A smile crossed Wu Yang's face, "Close your eyes first." ”

"What kind of fame?" An Ran muttered and obediently closed his eyes.

Wu Yang unzipped the bag, "Open your eyes!"

Enron was pleasantly surprised, "Oh my God, is this true?" she rubbed her eyes, "Or am I dazzled?" or maybe I'm hallucinating from hunger. ”

The smile on Wu Yang's face deepened, and he patted An Ran's head gently, "I'm hungry, eat quickly." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chocolate, tore open the wrapper, and handed it to Enron.

I hadn't eaten anything all day, and An Ran, who was already hungry at the moment, stuffed the chocolate into her mouth with satisfaction, "Oh my God, for the first time, I think chocolate is a delicacy in the world, it's so delicious, happy!"

There were a lot of snacks in the bag, and An Ran tore open a bag of potato chips and ate them, "Wu Yang, are you a god?

An Ran shook his head, "No, it's impossible! There's no place to buy anything around here." ”

She reached out and pinched her face, "Why, it hurts! Or is this some kind of psychedelic magic? I'm just hallucinating?"

Wu Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Well, that's right, I do have a magic wand! ”

Seeing An Ran's stunned look, Wu Yang smiled and said: "These snacks are all brought from home, before handing over my personal belongings today, I sneaked out and found this place, so I hid the snacks here." ”

An Ran's hand was digging in the bag, and she wanted to grab something to eat, Wu Yang pressed her hand, "I can't eat any more, we have to hold on to the rest of the snacks until the end of the military training." Eat a little every day, properly fill your hunger, don't eat one day to become a fat person, and have no food to eat on other days. ”

An Ran nodded and smiled contentedly.

Together, they put the bag back at the foot of the tree and buried it tightly with the dead branches and leaves as before.

Wu Yang turned off the flashlight and stretched out his hand towards An Ran, An Ran's face flushed, and he pulled up the corner of Wu Yang's clothes with his eyes, "I'll pull the corner of your clothes and follow you." ”

Wu Yang scratched the back of his head and withdrew his hand hanging in the air with some embarrassment.

When I came, I held hands on the way and let it come naturally, and no one cared. At this moment, the word "holding hands" teased two youthful hearts for no reason. There is shyness and yearning, but he still sticks to the purest line in his heart.

"Wu Yang. ”

"Huh?"

"You're so smart!"

"Smarter, I don't dare to compare with you, don't forget, this year's high school entrance examination champion is you. ”

"Wu Yang. ”

"Huh?"

"The moon is so bright tonight!"

"It's quite bright, and the breeze is clear. ”

"Wu Yang. ”

"What?"

"How do you know this river is called Qinghe?"

"I saw a lot of grass growing by the river, so I gave it a random name. ”

"Wu Yang. ”

"What's wrong?"

"You named the river at will, did you ask for your opinion on crossing the river?"

Wu Yang turned around and patted An Ran's head gently, "If you still want to eat tomorrow, shut up." ”

An Ran looked at him with a smile, "Good!"
