"At that time, I had not yet experienced rural China in the true sense of the word.

That summer, it was very hot in the city, and people could only blow the air conditioner constantly, but when I walked in this village, there was a cool wind blowing in my face, like you walking on the dry land and suddenly seeing dark clouds.

In the afternoon, the village can hear the cicadas chirping in the plane trees, and they are tirelessly noisy.

The whole village was in the middle of a nap, and I walked in a chaotic way. Then I ran into my aunt.

She was younger than she was now, as if she had just returned from a distant place, drenched in sweat, and dragging a big bag. ”

Gu Ao put the camera in his schoolbag and continued to hold Wang Xixi's hand, his voice was low, accompanied by the yellowish color of the old photos, like a static movie, slowly seeping into her mind.

"I went up to help her, and then my aunt was very kind to keep me." He smiled, the expression on his face pure.

"At that time, I didn't think about whether I was a bad person or anything, I always felt that rural people who were so beautiful and simple were generally not liars. I followed her into the house, and then I found out about the poverty of her family.

This is always the case in our world, where wealth is mixed with poverty.

I left the next day.

But after that, whenever I have time, I will come here for a few days. This is where my mind can be calmed down, completely stilled. ”

Wang Xixi suddenly realized, no wonder the aunt looked very familiar with Gu Ao, it turned out that Gu Ao first knew her, but this is not the point, the point is - Hu Meiyin.

She sat quietly and continued to listen.

Gu Ao's expression was no longer relaxed, and his eyes were seriously fixed on the mountains in front of him.

"I met Hu Meiyin during the winter vacation of the sixth grade, when it was snowing heavily.

I noticed her as soon as I got on the bus. She was sitting not far from me.

She wore fat jeans, white sneakers, and a black velvet hat that was pressed down to wrap her entire forehead inside. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his slender eyes stared out the window unfocused. The whole person exudes an aura of indifference and arrogance.

A girl the size of me, sitting alone on the bus, not knowing where to go.

I've been speculating at what moment she'll get out of the car. I didn't want her to get out of the car, I didn't know what it was. ”

He felt Cissy's hand shrink and want to pull away. Her lips trembled slightly: "So you just looked at her like that, and then fell in love with her?" ”

Gu Ao turned his head to look at her, a smile on his face.

Wang Xixi was even more flustered, she didn't know if he was laughing at her crankiness or remembering something about Hu Meiyin and was happy, when she thought of the possibility of the latter, her body was like 10,000 jumpers, one after another.

"I think it's probably because of her uniqueness and mystery that I look at, but I don't like it." He tilted his head slightly, "But at that time, I couldn't figure out what I was thinking." ”

Wang Xixi pursed her lips, she was not satisfied with this answer, "Go on." ”

He rubbed her hair apologetically.

"Then my heart went up and down as the bus went and went.

At the terminal, I noticed that we had all gotten off at the same time.

The whole village turned white, the roofs were white, the dry sycamore branches were white, and even the mountains in the distance were white.

White is quiet, but I can't.

Because I found that the girl was walking exactly the same way as I was walking, I followed her, not daring to make any sound, but treading softly on the footprints left by others on the snow.

Finally, we stopped in front of the same house.

I heard her call her aunt 'Auntie', and the figure of Auntie walking into the house stopped, turned around and walked in our direction, and she said, 'Meiyin, you're here.' Then she saw me standing behind me and said, 'Gu Ao, you're here too.'"

She said, "Do you know each other?"

Hu Meiyin turned her head at this time, her eyes were slender, with a little uninhibited, looking at me.

I don't know. We both answered at the same time.

That's when we got to know each other. ”

Gu Ao's voice fluctuated slightly, as if he could still recall the good times at that time.

In the sixth grade, Wang Xixi thought carefully about his sixth grade, at that time, everyone had just learned about some boys and girls, and they were coaxed by others by saying a few more words to the opposite sex. I forgot how it started, there were rumors about her and Song Senran in the class, and I was still crying in private at that time, this kind of thing, there is no way to tell the teachers and parents, and I am very aggrieved to endure it alone.

At that time, Gu Ao would be as cautious about the opposite sex as all boys who are just beginning to fall in love?

"What happened after that?" She was eager to know what to say.

"I know that she is studying in a second-rate junior high school in our county, and then I don't know anything else.

Her personality is not much different from now, and she is always cold and indifferent to people.

It wasn't until I came here again at the end of my first year of junior high school. He paused.

"Xixi, don't you think it's strange for people to meet, people who live in the same city often don't meet, but you will meet in a small place."

"I met her again here.

And her grandfather.

I saw the gray-haired old man motioning to a man in a black suit next to him to take out a wad of renminbi from his bag and give it to my aunt.

But Auntie didn't ask for it.

I watched from the back of a yard and couldn't hear what they were saying.

But I was very angry when I saw my aunt's face.

Hu Meiyin stood coldly in the middle of the three adults, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

The old man stood for a moment, then waved his hand and left the courtyard. The man in the black suit followed him indefatigably, but always behind him.

She was the only one left, standing there alone, her long black hair scattered, quietly fitting on her body, knowing that she was still screaming to know.

She was lonely. I stepped forward softly. I was surprised to find that she had burst into tears at some point. She looked at a loss.

I took out a handkerchief from the bag behind my back, hehe, don't you think it's funny, how can there be a male god with a handkerchief? ”

Gu Ao smiled, and his good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed.

Wang Xixi shook his head, "I think people who use handkerchiefs are very gentle." Somehow, she doesn't seem to be so nervous, she vaguely feels that Hu Meiyin must have a lot of things she doesn't know, mysterious girls usually have sadness that ordinary people don't understand.

The sun was warm on their backs, and the long shadows of the two people cast a large shadow in front of them.

There are always places where the sun doesn't shine, but warmth is enough.
