The lights of H City under the cover of night are brilliant, Yang Yu stood on the balcony mountain and smoked a cigarette and returned to the villa, during the day he listened to the thief say that he could be admitted to a prestigious university even if he didn't do well in the college entrance examination to participate in the new concept essay competition, so he wanted to submit a manuscript and give it a try.

Hu Yuxuan slept very early every day, but Yang Yu was full of energy like a night wanderer, he couldn't sleep and lit a cigarette and walked to another room.

After turning on the computer Yang Yu searched for the words of the new concept essay competition, a lot of information was displayed on the computer screen, Yang Yu began to browse the essay page, he saw that he needed the registration form in the "Sprout" magazine to submit his manuscript to participate in the competition, so he ran to his villa and bought a "Sprout" magazine from a newsstand with dim lights flickering and attracting many moths and insects.

Yang Yu returned to the computer desk in the villa, filled out the registration form, and took out two pieces of manuscript paper from his book pocket.

Spreading out the white manuscript paper, Yang Yu had no thoughts for a while, he didn't know what to write, where to write, and how to write in order to win the appreciation of the editors who read his articles, which is indeed a tangled question.

Yang Yu lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the house, but he didn't have a clue when he suddenly heard the sound of rain outside the window, and his thoughts seemed to drift to his native village, to the highest South Mountain in the village.

Picking up the pen that had been used for five yuan for three years and was reluctant to lose some paint, Yang Yu spread out the manuscript paper and began to render it with the thin handwriting.

……

"It was a remote and backward mountain village, where there were high and steep mountains, and in the deep folds of these mountains and peaks buried many unforgettable memories, my own thoughts about my destiny, and my fantasies and hopes for the world outside the mountains. ”

"The earliest memory of the mountain should start from the old Wang who repaired the bicycle in the east of the village, I remember that the old Wang looked very thin, to put it bluntly, like a burning stick, his wrinkled face always has a lump of unwashed black, like the oil bar on the bicycle on the up, Lao Wang is a craftsman in our village, when I was a child, I often went to the east of the village to see him repair the car, at that time the old Wang always liked to tell me something about the things in the city and he realized the simple truth of life, the old Wang said that he went into the city to work when he was young, he said that the city is very good, and there are high-rise buildings with flashing colorful lights everywhereWhen I was a child, I heard that the world outside the village was so exciting, and I wanted to go out of Xiwa Village to the metropolis that Lao Wang said to see if there was Lao Wang said it was good. ”

"My family lives in the south of the village under a big locust tree, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is very good, it is indeed a very good place, as soon as I walk out of the door of my house, you can see the towering and steep Nanshan, I remember when I was a child I really wanted to see what the outside world is like when I said Lao Wang, so I secretly climbed Nanshan alone, I remember that I climbed Nanshan tired panting and lying on the top of the mountain bluestone slab and did not want to move, but the mountain wind at that time was very refreshing, when I was relieved and was also happy to howl a few times to the empty valley, I couldn't help but have a kind of pride and ambition to conquer the mountain。 ”

"I remember that the women in the village said that the mountain temple in Nanshan was very effective, so I ran to it and kowtowed, and when I walked out of the mountain temple, I stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, for a while I was a little lost, I could hear the sound of singing in the neighboring villages, and the rolling mountains that could not be seen at a glance, I didn't see anything, these overlapping peaks seemed to isolate the thoughts in people's hearts, I didn't see the high-rise buildings with flashing colorful lights, and I didn't see the beautiful women on the calendar。 ”

"Later, my mother sent me to the school to study, at that time I liked to read, I read a variety of books like a stew, as I read more and more, I became more and more yearning for the life of the metropolis outside the village, although it only took a few dollars to make a bus from the village to the city, but I was reluctant to spend money, because I knew that it was not easy for my mother to make money, so I climbed the highest mountain in the village again, because the book always talked about what is far-sighted, will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains and other big truths, at that time I also believed it to be true。 ”

"When I climbed the highest mountain in the village again, I didn't choose to go to the temple and kowtow, because the book said that those strange things are deceptive, and I didn't look into the distance again, but looked back at the road I had walked, the road was very tortuous and long, and the steep peaks made people feel creepy at first glance, but I looked at the road I had walked, and my heart was very steady. ”

"I happened to see the book that said that people's youth is spent in wanton indulgence and confusion, I am confused but I never indulge, I know what I want, I still read all kinds of books whenever I have time, I begin to think, understand, and realize some of the truths in the book, I feel that I live every day very full, I am constantly learning every day, that time is not painful for me, because I want to know more things, understand new things and the world of flowers outside. ”

"Maybe it's because God rewards hard work, even if the teaching level in the village is very backward, I still became the only one in the village who was admitted to Meixian No. 1 Middle School, which makes me have a little bit of proud capital in my heart. ”

"When I left my hometown to go to school in Meixian No. 1 Middle School, I climbed the highest Nanshan Mountain in the village again, and it was the last time I climbed Nanshan in the village, I remember that I stood calmly on the top of the mountain and looked around, it seemed that across the overlapping and continuous mountains, I saw the high-rise buildings flashing with various lights, and also saw the beautiful women like the wall calendar, at that time I smiled from the bottom of my heart, and I sat on the mountain in a daze until sunset. ”

"The mighty mountain wind is very cool, the red flag planted outside the mountain temple is hunting, I know that God can't help me, I know that if I want to change my destiny, I can only rely on myself, only I can save myself, sitting alone on the mountain I suddenly feel very lonely, looking back on the road I have walked I feel very difficult, looking back at the books I have not asked to interpret are also very confused, some of them are also half-understood and very confused, but I think since I have climbed the highest mountain in the village, since I have been admitted to the best high school in the city, then what is the past worth？”

"Soon a very big and bright moon rose to the mountain sky, the brilliant starry sky and the stars were so beautiful, I looked very stupid and jumped, I felt that I could catch the moon and stars in the sky by jumping, but the sad thing is that all I can reach is the mighty mountain wind, maybe the mighty mountain breeze in the mountains I can't reach. ”

I bowed my head a little in frustration and squatted on the top of the mountain alone, with a bitter smile on my face, maybe this feeling is called a gap, but I saw that the bright moon and twinkling stars in the sky were really close to me, as if I could touch it as soon as I stretched out my hand, maybe everyone wanted to have good things, just like the high-rise buildings in the city with all kinds of lights flashing, just like the beautiful women in the city and on the calendar, at this moment I understood the true meaning of the word ambition, maybe it is not a derogatory word but a positive word, a positive word that can bring hope to people。 ”

It was written that Yang Yu suddenly felt a pain in his hand, it turned out that the cigarette in his hand accidentally burned his hand, but inadvertently Yang Yu's train of thought was interrupted, he put down the paint pen in his hand and held his face with his hand and fell into contemplation.

Somehow he thought of Li Mengqi, thought of the most beautiful woman in Xiwa Village, and thought of the beautiful night with her, Yang Yu felt very bitter in his heart, and his thoughts flowed Yang Yu thought of the word money from Li Mengqi, the ancients said that copper stinky copper stink may not be unreasonable, money can create a person, make a leopard become glamorous, money can also destroy a person, let a beautiful woman become a doll at the mercy of others.

Lighting another cigarette, Yang Yu re-lifted his pen with paint off, at this time he finally understood why Mr. Zhou liked smoking so much, it turned out that cigarettes were the source of inspiration, Yang Yu's thin handwriting began to be rendered on the manuscript paper again, rendering this innocent paper, erosion, and dirtiness made it lose its original appearance, I don't know if it brought it new life, or gave it destruction, maybe this is the trajectory of fate destined in the dark.
