On the day of departure, the doorbell of Qi Yun's house was ringing, Aunt Qin went to open the door, and Hong Jian, dressed in a dark Colombian jacket, walked into the room, carrying only a two-foot-long, free and easy orange assault bag on his back, and the other longer backpack contained large and small photographic equipment, but it was carefully and carefully wrapped tightly.

Hong Jian explained to Qi Yun's mother the reason for booking an early train: although they were not far from the place where Qi Yun was teaching, because of the inconvenient transportation, they always had to walk for two days to get there. First take a train, go to the regional capital at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and then go directly to the bus station of the prefecture-level city to take a long-distance bus. In fact, there are still more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads from the village, but if it is not open to traffic, you have to wait for the villagers to drive agricultural vehicles to pick it up.

Mother looks sad today, and she has lost her enthusiasm for Hong Jian, Hong Jian said a lot of words, she just nodded lightly, and after hearing about the town, she didn't even have a long-distance bus, and the only means of transportation to and from the farm was a farm vehicle, she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and turned around and went back to the bedroom without saying a word. The father looked calm, talked and laughed with Hong Jian for a few words, asked Aunt Qin to pull the sorted out super huge suitcase to the living room, and gave Qi Yun another encouragement of "ploughing in front and harvesting in the back", and then held Hong Jian's hand tightly with both hands face to face, and shook it a few times with weight.

Hong Jian nodded at his father: "Uncle Qi, don't worry." ”

Qi Yun couldn't help but step forward and tear his father's hand away, leaned over and kissed him loudly on the face:

"I said, what do you two big men do? Uncle, don't look down on people! I, a 23-year-old adult with full capacity for civil conduct, don't I just go to the countryside, and I haven't even gone out of the provincial gate, so what can't I cope? Your uneasy appearance made Brother Ah Jian think that I was a kindergarten child, maybe he felt too much pressure on the way, so he simply threw me into the mountains and left it alone! ”

"Let's go, 23-year-old adult with full civil capacity!" Hong Jian glanced at Qi Yun's huge suitcase with a smile, and made an expression of "Didn't you say you can handle everything", which made Qi Yun's face flush, and he was about to refute that he was too big to go downstairs to find a taxi driver for help, but Hong Jian's expression was only fleeting, and before Qi Yun could react, he had already lifted the big suitcase with one hand and walked out of the door in front.

After a while, Qi Yun and Hong Jian sat side by side in the back seat of the speeding taxi. Qi Yun was not a sentimental person, but at this time, he couldn't help but keep sniffling, and explained to Hong Jian without three hundred taels of silver: "I've had a cold for the past two days. It really makes a colorful note to the idiom of wanting to cover up.

Hong Jian didn't say anything with rare kindness, and when Qi Yun was scrambling to search for tissues in her coach bag and found nothing, he silently handed over a large linen handkerchief.

Qi Yun couldn't care about being surprised that there were still men using handkerchiefs these days, and they were linen handkerchiefs that were cleanly washed and meticulously ironed, with the unique cologne smell of men who had lived abroad for a long time. She only felt heartbroken now, and buried her already wet face on the handkerchief.

The taxi pulled over at the gate of the train station, and the two walked to the waiting room one after the other, there was no traffic jam in the early morning, they arrived half an hour early, and the ticket gate had not yet started to check the tickets. Hong Jian arranged his luggage and found a seat in the waiting room for Qi Yun to sit on. Qi Yun's face was red, holding an iphone with a rhinestone HelloKitty cat in his hand, and he said to Hong Jian embarrassedly:

"Brother Aji, I'll make a few calls."

Hong Jian nodded, knowing that Qi Yun still needed some time to digest the sudden changes in his life. He told him not to miss the drive, and then slipped to the window of the waiting room to look out.

Qi Yun called Zhuomei's mobile phone first, and Zhuomei's voice obviously didn't wake up much, but when she heard it, she still shouted:

"You little conscienceless, do you know how to call me?"

Qi Yun said: "Xiaomei, I'm leaving, and now I'm waiting for the train at the train station." ”

Zhuo Mei sighed sadly and said, "I wanted to ask you to accompany me to Hong Kong Shopping for Christmas, but now it's all in vain!" In the future, no one will accompany me to the nail salon for an afternoon of milk tea...... Alas, let's go, but don't forget, I'm your true love! Don't pick wildflowers on the side of the road. ”

Qi Yun said with a smile: "Obviously, you stayed in the Huahua World, I am Su Wu who went to Beihai to shepherd sheep, if you want to change your mind, you also change your mind, how can it be me?" ”

Zhuomei was very satisfied: "I'm relieved if you say that, and you can rest assured, I won't see a change of mind." ”

Qi Yun couldn't help but feel self-pity on his chest: "Alas! You don't have to keep a feast for me, you have a proper ...... Let's remarry! ”

Zhuo Mei spat out: "What nonsense! The two girls laughed and made trouble, and the heaviness in Qi Yun's heart suddenly lightened a lot. After hanging up Xiaomei's phone, Qi Yun called again to wake up the senior brother who was probably also in Zhuang Shengxiao's dream of butterflies.

Some time ago, the senior brother went back to his hometown to build a house, and it took nearly two months, and when he returned to the city, he heard that Qi Yun was going to participate in the activities of non-official public welfare organizations and go to the national super-poor county to teach the "bad news". But the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to say anything more discouraged. So the senior brother only told Qi Yun once again to take care of himself, and called him as soon as he had any difficulties, and threatened: "Although your senior brother and I are not frogs or princes, we will not hesitate to climb mountains and mountains and overcome thorns and thorns to save you, the princess in distress!" ”

Senior brother's words made Qi Yun feel a confident warmth that penetrated through his heart. The phone beeped, and the senior brother picked up the phone, his voice was very clear, and the first sentence was:

"Xiaoyun, I was about to call you. I was so surprised to hear you say that you wanted to teach that day, and I forgot to ask, did Lu Wei know or didn't know about this? ”

"Him?" Qi Yun pouted disdainfully, "Where is the need for him to know?" I'm out of touch with him now. ”

Senior brother smiled: "Don't get too involved in the play and forget about the cut, if you don't pay attention, it will be bad if you can't play the play." When the time comes, you will go through the years, and when you come back, he will marry the youngsters, and your children will be on the trip, and then they will confess to each other - he will say, 'That year, I couldn't find you everywhere,' and you said, 'Actually, I teach all for you,'......"

Before the senior brother finished speaking, Qi Yun screamed depressedly: "Who is it for him?" Am I such a worthless person?! ”

The senior brother said: "How underestimating yourself is this, where are you such a useless person as 'like'?" You're just more than unproductive! ”

Qi Yun was so angry that he yelled and hung up the phone angrily. Then he was stunned for a while, touching his mobile phone that was slightly hot, and turned his head to look at the electronic display board at the station, there were only 8 minutes left before their train ticket check. Qi Yun's eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and he dialed the number that had never been saved or deliberately remembered, but he knew it by heart.

Speaking of which, Qi Yun and Lu Wei haven't spoken on the phone for a long time, at least for several months. And at least nominally, his and her story is over. So everything that happened during this time: including Qi Yun being arranged by his father to work in the provincial party committee; applied for the Provincial Youth League Committee's teaching support and announced its withdrawal in the public; He participated in the volunteer teaching program of a non-governmental public welfare organization, and chose a small mountain village school in the county seat, which is only separated from Lu Wei's hometown by a virtual county boundary and lacks water as his volunteer teaching destination...... All of this is complicated, and Qi Yun actually doesn't know how to talk to Lu Wei about it.

How is Lu Wei doing now? Has he found the job he wants? Does he miss the past that belongs to both of them as much as he does...... The moment the phone was connected, Qi Yun was extremely nervous, and she raised one foot to step on the other so that her body would not tremble so much.

Someone on the other side of the phone picked it up gently, and it was a familiar, slightly cold male voice: "Qi Yun? ”

"Well, it's me." Qi Yun stepped on the instep of his foot to the point that it was almost purple, but his heart still couldn't help but thump, like a deer in his arms.

Lu Wei didn't speak for a while. Listening to the faint echo, Qi Yun felt as if he was standing in an empty and bright hall, with people constantly walking by in twos and threes, and the voices of people, laughter, telephones, and faxes were like a grand symphony, coming from the other end of the phone.

Lu Wei paused for a long time before saying, "I heard from my classmates that you went to the provincial party committee, how are you doing?" ”

Turns out he knew. Qi Yun didn't know what was in his heart, so he suddenly put it down. A faint veil of joy enveloped him. She deliberately exaggerated and shouted: "Who told you, it's the old yellow calendar of the next year." Now I have applied to teach in a primary school in a mountainous area of a national poverty-stricken county. Hey, I'm waiting at the train station to leave! ”

Lu Wei was a little surprised: "You? Volunteer teaching? Where to go? ”

Qi Yun's heart was like a big drum, and it was knocked out by Lu Wei's words. She squirmed and told Lu Wei the name of the place she was going, and across the phone line in the distance, she suddenly had a thought. Qi Yun wondered, would Lu Wei say: I have to get to know you again, Qi Yun. Qi Yun even wishfully fantasized about whether Lu Wei would stop him at this critical moment, and whether he would be impulsive: "Qi Yun, don't go!" ”

Qi Yun thought to himself, although he didn't laugh out loud, the smug feeling was obviously overflowing on his face. Qi Yun also thought, if Lu Wei said not to go, should she still go to teach? Qi Yun was worried about this unwarranted question as he leaned against the cold station wall and slowly covered his red and hot cheeks.

However, in the slightest sound of electricity, Lu Wei didn't say anything. Even quickly, he did a good job of hiding his surprise, and just let out a dull "oh".

Oh your sister! Qi Yun scolded fiercely in his heart. Lu worried! Count you ruthless! Even if you're too embarrassed to stop me, you should know where I'm going, what kind of poor mountains and rivers it is! Even if we are ordinary classmates who have been classmates for four years, you should at least show some concern and care for me to live in an underdeveloped rural area, right? Aren't you from the countryside? And the topography of the place where I went to teach is quite close to your hometown, you should be familiar with these things!

But after the "oh" sound, there was silence. The noisy background sound behind him, coupled with the slightest sound of electricity, mixed into a noisy black hole, the black hole dragged on, trying to roll Qi Yun into it, Qi Yun felt suffocated and uncomfortable, she quickly said to the telephone microphone:

"I'm going to catch a train, so let's stop talking." Then, without waiting for a reply, she hung up the phone with a bang.

It just so happened that the ticket gates began to release people. Qi Yun huffed and dragged up his heavy luggage, and staggered forward angrily and staggeringly. A gust of wind blew, and she felt a chill around her eyes. She scolded in her heart: Stupid! Villain! Muddy balls! While scolding, he deliberately made the corners of the suitcase bump on the ground and make the sound of being beaten, in this way to relieve the evil anger in his heart.

Hong Jian, who came slowly, witnessed everything, squinted his small eyes and smiled. He didn't say anything, just took the suitcase from Qi Yun's hand, he didn't look tall, but with one hand, he lifted the big suitcase that Qi Yun's mother was eager to put all her belongings into it, and strode towards the platform.

Qi Yun hurriedly trotted to keep up with Hong Jian. got on the platform, let the breeze blow, Qi Yun calmed down and sobered up, she thought I was so stupid, what am I angry about, why am I angry with people like Lu Yun? What kind of virtue is he, do I know for the first time today? How worthless is this anger!

If Lu Yun didn't say that, if he wasn't so inexplicably silent, would he still be Lu Yun?
