Chapter 8: The Song of the Descending Mountain
A few decades ago, about half a century ago, there was a young man in his early twenties who came to a bustling metropolis alone, where he had no relatives and no support, but because of his unyielding character and unwilling ambition to be mediocre, he wanted to establish himself here. At the beginning www.biquge.info he was an apprentice in a shoe factory, and his smart mind and ability to read words and emotions made him highly valued, and he was promoted from apprentice to manager in just two years. If you put it on ordinary people, you should already be satisfied, marry a wife and have children, and live a plain but happy life from now on. However, he was different from others, because of his work, he would come into contact with some big people at the top of society from time to time, and their spendthrift and drunken life made him envious, and countless nights, he lay in his humble dormitory and couldn't sleep. In terms of mind, character, and appearance, he belongs to one in a million people, why do these people enjoy the glory and wealth every day when they have nothing to do, but he, every day he is diligent and hardworking, but he has to be submissive to those so-called "distinguished guests" and greet them with a smile. He understood that the gap between him and them was only one place—his origin, a natural barrier between them, hindering his upward climb.
After all, this young man is different from those mediocre cloth leaders, he has never had the word "resignation" in his dictionary, and he deeply understands in his heart that there is only one way out to change his background, and that is marriage. So he took advantage of some of the connections he had formed at work and began to frequent the places frequented by some big names. Finally, at a drinking party, he meets his own "springboard", a springboard that can enter high society.
Cheng Yue, the favorite daughter of plastic king Cheng Qihao, has just returned from abroad, and this reception is held to celebrate her return from school. At the age of eighteen, when her heart sprouted, she was deeply attracted by the handsome man in front of her. He was different from the second ancestors who surrounded her, this man always had a kind of melancholy in his eyes that she couldn't understand, she took the initiative to greet him and introduce herself, although he responded politely, but always seemed to deliberately avoid her enthusiasm.
After a long conversation about his life experience, Cheng Yue finally understood the reason why he was cold to himself: a poor boy from a poor background and the only daughter of a plastic king, if these two people become everyone's talking points at the same time, it will definitely not be a good sentence.
Cheng Yue is simple, but simple people tend to be more stubborn than ordinary people in the things they believe. After another conflict with her parents over his affairs, she simply dragged her small luggage to his residence. Unexpectedly, he scolded her fiercely for the first time and told her to go back to her parents. Cheng Yue looked at him with teary eyes: "I don't listen to anything, just ask, do you love me?" Look me in the eye and say you don't love me, and I'll go. "I don't love it." As if he had made up his mind, he finally squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.
Cheng Yue went home crying, and her world seemed to collapse entirely. A month later, she decided to go abroad under her father's arrangement, and on the first day of her departure, a friend approached her and mysteriously stuffed her with a newspaper. It was an old newspaper from a few months ago, and in a small inconspicuous corner of the reader's letter unit, a small poem was written: Xia Songshan Xi thinks a lot, and he is slow to take a beautiful woman. The bright moon in the pine room is like this, when will you swim again.
The writer said that this poem was intended to give him the most memorable but also the most hopeless relationship, and the date of the payment was April 12. Seeing this, Cheng Yue couldn't cry anymore, it was her birthday, and it was also the day she confessed to him. That day, he came to the top of the mountain as promised and gave Cheng Yue a diamond necklace. Cheng Yue couldn't be more moved, the young lady from a rich family has read countless treasures since she was a child, but the more so, the more she knows the preciousness of this small diamond necklace, the three diamonds set in the silver moon are estimated to consume half a year's salary. That day, Cheng Yue looked at the man in front of him boldly and enthusiastically, he was a little embarrassed by her, and gently lowered his long eyelashes. Her lips covered his, and on the top of a high mountain, in the verdant pine forest, the two of them expressed the joy and excitement in their hearts with a kiss. But he seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, pushed away the arms of the girl who was tightly holding him, and without even saying a word of farewell, he hurried down the mountain and left.
Cheng Yue cried while reminiscing and ran to his residence, that day, she thought that he was frightened by her enthusiasm, thinking that he didn't want to let the relationship between the two develop further like her. Now it seems that she was wrong, completely wrong, this man loves her no less than he loves him, but this love is deeper, more forbearing, and more helpless.
The hottest emotion in the world is the love that has just begun to bloom, and if you add a little pity to this love, it will be even more like thunder and fire, and nothing can stop it. Cheng Yue finally saw the person she was thinking about, in just one month, he lost weight twice, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and finally hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their bodies. Five years later, the two young people got married, and although it took five full years from falling in love to entering the palace of marriage, they are still the happiest couple in the world.
Xu Xing looked at Lu Shiheng: "Mr. Lu, although the old newspaper from decades ago is difficult to find, it is not completely impossible to find. He opened a picture of his mobile phone, on which was a section of a yellowed old newspaper, the content of a depressed young man telling the unforgettable love that he had to let go, at the bottom of the article was the song "Song of the Lower Mountain", and the inscription was impressively written: April 12, Lu Shiheng.
Lu Shiheng looked at Xu Xing quietly: "The story is very good, Mr. Xu, please finish it." ”
Soon after, they had children of their own, and they were truly a fairy couple. The man's career is getting bigger and bigger, and Cheng Yue's already rich family background and his painstaking management have expanded this family business far beyond his late father-in-law. It is rumored that he is very fond of his wife, although Cheng Yue is studying abroad, but he loves Cantonese opera very much, so he invites the stage into the mansion every year on her birthday, so that she can enjoy it, and even when the interest comes, the husband and wife will sing a song on the stage in person.
But one day, the wind changed suddenly. It was a year of Qingming, and the keen media found out that Cheng Yue did not go back to his hometown with him to pay respects to his deceased parents. The man's hometown is in Xitang, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River famous for the rhododendron in the city, since they got married for more than 20 years, Cheng Yue will return to her hometown with her husband every year to worship her ancestors in the season when the cuckoos are in full bloom, but that year, she was absent. Speculation about the problems in their relationship was overwhelming, and the Lu Group came forward to deny it, but soon after, the media actually took a photo of a woman entering and leaving a man's house, and what made everyone even more uproar was that this woman turned out to be Hu Jingxin, a female star who caused a national sensation when she debuted.
Cheng Yue has never appeared in the media since then, but the rumors about her madness are endless. Some say she often dressed herself as a young girl in her twenties and wandered around the mansion, singing her favorite Cantonese opera. Her favorite song is her daughter Xiang, a Cantonese opera about a poor man who is married and married to his own wife after becoming prosperous.
Men have less and less time to go home, just imagine, who would want to leave a young, beautiful, gentle and considerate beautiful lady alone, to accompany a crazy man dressed up with bells and whistles? But in order to avoid telling the media and competitors, he still returns to the luxurious mansion to accompany his titular wife during the New Year's holidays. I don't know why, Cheng Yue has become more and more crazy recently, she used to be able to sit quietly and finish a meal with him, but now, as soon as she saw him, she sneered behind him, until it slowly turned into angry scolding and roaring, and even a few times, she hit him with a vase at home. He didn't know that the maid at home had already told him explicitly or secretly that Cheng Yue had been angered by a woman's phone call countless times and scolded him on the phone, of course he knew who was on the other end of the phone, but every time Hu Jingxin was beautiful, and the crying pear blossom leaned on his chest with rain, "How could I do such a thing, I always feel that I can't stand her, and a few times I even want to leave alone, but I really can't let go of you." Knowing that it was a lie, he loved to listen to it very much, not to mention the beauty in his arms, weak and boneless, and pitiful, how could he bear to be harsh.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and on this day, the man routinely goes home, because he doesn't want to clash with her head-on, he goes to bed early after dinner. In the middle of the night, the man suddenly felt something tightly hold on his neck, and he could barely breathe. He hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw Cheng Yue sitting on top of him, strangling him with a tie, she laughed while strangled, and actually laughed out of tears, blurring the heavy makeup on her face, making her pale face look more and more weird. A wave of anger suddenly erupted, I am fed up, I am really fed up, the man said this sentence over and over again, kicked Cheng Yue away, pressed her under him, and tightly choked her neck with his hand. I've never liked you, you know, but how hard it is to pretend to like you, and it's kind of paying back everything I owe you. Cheng Yue stopped struggling, she looked at this man, the man she had loved all her life, and she did not hesitate to break with her parents for him. Now he has a fierce look in his eyes, his green muscles bulging, and his face has a fierce anger that will not give up on her death.
At the last moment of consciousness, Cheng Yue's face showed a smile, this smile finally woke up Lu Shiheng who was in a state of chaos, he shook the soft body in front of him and slapped her face, but the woman who had been with him for more than 20 years never woke up again.
