Chapter 119: The Road She Walked

He's used to everything being the best, and probably has never done such a noisy train. Summer is pleasant, as if I have long been used to it.

The scenery outside the window is constantly receding, and the sunlight is streaming in through the window from time to time. Summer looked out stupidly, as if she was in deep thought, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She reached for her chest, her heart beating strongly.

Once upon a time, she was also such a person on the train. All the way down the path An Qiao wanted to take, she always hoped that she could fulfill her last wish.

Embarking on this journey again, it was already a completely different state of mind.

I stayed in my seat until dark, and the dining car brought food to the private room. Zhou Ziliang was also unexpectedly quiet, just frowning, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with everything. But the posture is still extravagant, probably a habit developed over the years.

During the meal, he asked Summer, "The journey you completed for that friend of yours should be enough to prove that she is your very important friend, An Qiao, is An Xuan's real sister, right?"

Summer was stunned and couldn't say a word.

She smiled reluctantly: "I don't want to say this now, I'll tell you when the time is right." ”

After dinner, Summer washed up and went to sleep. Motionless with his back to him, as if he had quickly fallen asleep. After that, Zhou Ziliang possessed her and looked at her through the intermittent lights outside the car window. Summer closed her eyes, and she was indeed asleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the covers over him. began to sleep lightly, and slept until midnight, Zhou Ziliang was in a daze and saw that there was no one on the summer bunk, so he sat up suddenly.

hurriedly opened the private room to look for her, but saw her standing motionless in the corridor, her thin back, but his heart instantly calmed down.

Looking out the window in the summer, the car has already arrived. There are also people outside the window who hurry up and get on and off the bus with their luggage, and all kinds of sounds are heard through the window.

"Why don't you go to rest. He asked her.

Summer slowly turned his head to look at him, he looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he was enduring some pain, and he didn't even dare to get any closer to her, keeping the best distance. Zhou Ziliang could feel that since she got on this train, her mood had become low.

Summer pursed her lips and smiled at him reluctantly.

"It's okay, I can't sleep a little, you go back and rest, don't worry about me. ”

The train soon resumed moving, and it was only dark outside. Summer didn't know what she was looking at, just staring out the empty window.

She suddenly remembered that summer, she had completed the final journey for Anjo. On a certain section of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, she came to the section of the road where An Qiao had an accident. She carried a pack of cigarettes in her pocket, and lit a cigarette at the place where Anqiao fell, to pay tribute to her dead spirit, it was a starry night, watching the smoke burn out, a tide-like lonely feeling suddenly surged in Summer's heart, and she couldn't help crying bitterly.

That feeling of heartache is still fresh in my memory, that is, from that day on, all that this world has left for An Xuan is sadness!

Early the next morning, I arrived at the station.

In the summer, he walked in front with his suitcase, and Zhou Ziliang walked lazily behind him, probably his appearance and dress were too eye-catching, and many people looked at them sideways along the way, but fortunately, he brought a mask in advance in the summer, so as not to be recognized.

I still feel a little chilly when I leave the station, and I unconsciously put my hands in my pockets to keep warm in the summer.

"Are you hungry or not, let's go eat something first. ”

Zhou Ziliang didn't bring bodyguards with him on this trip, but after simply explaining the matter, he followed her here. Not at all afraid that she would take him to be trafficked, or that she didn't feel that summer could pose a threat to him at all.

Zhou Ziliang did not refuse, and the two walked into a store together. I asked for a basket of xiaolongbao and two bowls of rice noodles.

While waiting for the meal, Zhou Ziliang began to look at everything around, which was already within the scope of Sichuan. The ears are all unfamiliar dialects, and there are many locals soliciting customers out of the station. He felt disgusted, but for some reason he didn't show it in front of the summer from beginning to end, but he just kept holding back.

Soon the hot buns and rice noodles came out, and the summer took a bite of the fresh meat buns. It is fragrant and fluffy, and there is a little soup in the mouth, which tastes good.

She carried the rice noodles and ate them quickly in the summer. wiped her mouth with a tissue and waited for him, she moved her lips, and hesitated again and again before asking him: "Zhou Ziliang, why did you come here with me?"

Zhou Ziliang lowered his head and ate rice noodles, and did not answer her immediately. Just because he suddenly found that he knew too little about her, her heart wall was so thick and deep, and she didn't know who was in it, Zhou Ziliang didn't know who could open her heart in this life.

He didn't know why he made such a choice, as if his mind was just hot, and he couldn't answer why.

The two of them had breakfast, and Summer took him to the bus station together. After getting into the car, tossing and turning all the way, the road in Sichuan and Tibet has always been bumpy and steep, and the two of them tossed and turned for most of the day before they arrived at the destination they were going to this time.

Summer looked up and saw that although there was a change from the previous departure, she could still recognize it at a glance. There were mountains all around, and there was a white mist floating on the top of the mountain, many of which were very thick, and the fog was like clouds in the sky.

She suddenly remembered what she had seen with An Qiao, the scenery of Mount Emei was also so foggy, the top of the mountain was all thin and white, cold and quiet, and the whole person seemed to live in a fairyland.

Carrying his suitcase and starting to climb the mountain, Zhou Ziliang didn't say anything all the way. Just silently climbed up with the summer, she panted and explained to Zhou Ziliang.

"I came here for some reason because I wanted to find a quiet place to escape for a while. Unexpectedly, I met a volunteer teacher in the mountains, and he was a very good person. Good for kids too......"

She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, it's good that you can come with me this time, I want you to know that there are actually many beautiful places in this world besides the life of deceitful people." ”

Seeing that the summer was panting so badly, even the clothes were a little soaked with sweat. Zhou Ziliang was rarely enthusiastic and wanted to help Xia get her things, she glanced at him gratefully, and unexpectedly did not refuse.

There is also a small stream in the valley, and the water is very clear. Zhou Ziliang looked up along the stream, and the winding road was almost endless.

The two of them climbed halfway up the mountain, and suddenly heard someone calling the name of Summer. Zhou Ziliang looked up and saw a young man in a T-shirt and a casual jacket walking down. There were two children behind him, and when they saw them, they all hid timidly behind the man.

Summer put down what she was holding and hugged the man.

"Teacher Xia, after receiving your notice, we are preparing to pick you up. Why didn't you come now, you didn't say what time it was the train, this mountain road is so steep, I came down to pick you up in advance. ”

Summer smiled very happily, as if from the moment she came to the bottom of the mountain, the wisps of ice under her eyes began to melt, as if spring sprouted: "I don't want to trouble you, not to mention that I don't remember the way." Let me introduce you to you, the latter is my friend, Zhou Ziliang, he ...... You also want to follow me to see the children. ”

The man greeted Zhou Ziliang with a smile: "Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm Yan Ruicheng." ”

Zhou Ziliang bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"You two little guys, haven't you been thinking about Teacher Xia all the time, why do you want to hide behind me when you see her now, come out and say hello to Teacher Xia!" Yan Ruicheng smiled and patted the heads of the two little guys.

Summer tilted her head to look at them, after all, it had been a long time, and if she didn't look carefully, she really couldn't remember what the names of these two children were.

"Teacher Xia......"

One of the children mustered up the courage to scream, and Summer was stunned for a moment, then smiled, reached out to touch her head, and said, "I remember, you are that little clever ghost, Xiao Min, Min Min is right." ”

"Well, Teacher Xia has such a good memory, I thought you had forgotten about us a long time ago. Xiao Min was changing his teeth, and when he looked up and smiled, he showed his toothless mouth, looking cute and lively.

After hurriedly greeting another child, the group began to continue their climb up the mountain.

Summer always seems to be very nervous in front of herself, and she has never seen her show her true expression or show her true mentality. And now that she is here, she is a little more lively, and her smile is also from the heart.

With the most genuine smile I've had in a long time, I thought it was a good choice to come here in the summer. The most important thing is to forget about those unimportant things.

The winding path is actually no different from before. Summer's heart is surging hard, but I feel inexplicably relieved. Soon climbed to the top of the mountain, where the humidity was heavier. In the summer, I took my coat out and put it on, but I didn't feel so cold, and there were many residents along the way who looked at them curiously.

The two of them followed Yan Ruicheng's house, which was a two-story cabin. There is also a small balcony, and a string of wind chimes hangs in the corridor on the second floor, and the tinkling sound can be heard in the distance.

The mountain was so humid that they didn't have time to take a shower and change their clothes. Because I was afraid of catching a cold, I didn't go to school to visit my children in the first place. Yan Ruicheng quickly boiled water for them to take a bath, and led them to the bathroom.

There was no water heater, it was a new wooden barrel. It was sprinkled with flower petals, and the hot water was still steaming.

In the summer, I soaked myself in the water, twisted the petals and smelled them. It should be the wildflowers on the mountain, she can't name them, but she thinks they smell good and have a faint fragrance.

In the afternoon, I followed Yan Ruicheng around the village, and it was very quiet along the way. It's still the most familiar environment, but it's just going around in circles, and I hardly see familiar faces. There is no more noise in the city, only the unknown chirping of birds and cicadas.
