Chapter 001: Looking for Taoyuan
One night in June, on the campus of a university in Wuhan, Du Juan and her boyfriend Li Dun walked in circles along the large playground. The dim and hazy street lamps create an atmosphere with some sadness.
Tomorrow, after graduating from graduate school, Li Dun will go to Shanghai to work.
The cuckoo, because of his mother, can only stay in the city.
After walking around, the cuckoo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Li Dun said gently: "Call me if you have something." ”
The cuckoo nodded, "Okay." ”
After walking around again, the cuckoo smiled again: "I will live well." ”
Li Dun still said softly: "Call me if you have something." ”
The cuckoo nodded and said, "I know the way." ”
After walking around again, the cuckoo said: "You know the way, I am naturally optimistic. ”
Li Dun said: "Remember to call me ......"
Cuckoo: "......"
Although Li Dun was born in the countryside, he is not a person who is clumsy in words, on the contrary, he is very capable and talented, otherwise, he would not have been robbed by several large companies at the campus job fair, and finally applied for a job at a large company in Shanghai.
He is tall, well-looking, and when he is silent, he looks a little wooden, not as eye-catching as those sunny and handsome or cold and calm men, only when talking to him, will you find that he talks extraordinary, behaves sincerely and freely, and has a very temperamental connotation.
He was a sincere and unpretentious man.
As Cuckoo's boyfriend, he does more than he says, rarely talks sweetly to her, and does not create romantic opportunities to please her, but he always inadvertently guides her to recognize the simple pleasures of life.
Cuckoo is a very optimistic girl, not the top beauty, but very sweet.
Usually, with a light smile on his face, as clear as a mountain spring; When he is happy, he smiles like a mountain flower.
In the city where all kinds of beautiful women are flooded, few people can resist her affinity, whether it is a boy or a girl, they all like her, and everyone calls her "Red Cuckoo" - the fiery red and brilliant red cuckoo!
Du Juan likes Li Dun, indulges in his care, and bubbles up happily every day.
In this parting, although the two did not mention the word "breakup", the unpredictable future made them realize that this was actually a breakup. On college campuses, there are many such cases.
Their parting was peaceful, neither sworn nor complaining.
After graduating, Du Juan worked as a teacher in a middle school in the suburbs of Wuhan while taking care of his mother, who had retired from illness. Her father died very young.
She didn't call Li Dun, and Li Dun didn't call her.
It's nothing, it should be like this, she smiled and thought, it's best to go with the flow, and if you don't let go, it will only add to your troubles.
However, although she is very popular, she has never found a boyfriend.
For no other reason, in the past few years, she has been taken care of by Li Dun.
He was like one of her teeth, and now the tooth was gone, and the socket was empty.
If you want to put another tooth inlaid with it, it is not as natural as the original. I had to leave it empty, and when I had nothing to do, I licked the vacancy with my tongue, hoping that one day it would grow on its own.
A year later, she received a call from a female classmate, saying that Li Dun was developing well in Shanghai and was in love with the boss's daughter, and asked her if she knew about it.
She smiled: "He is so good, it is normal for someone to like it, and it is not normal for no one to like it." "As if I was still proud.
The female classmate scolded her for being heartless, why didn't she know how to worry!
She continued to laugh.
What's so worrying about this, Li Dun should marry a wife, she will also get married, it's normal, why should you be sad? He's not a bad guy, and he didn't lie to her.
Three years later, her mother died.
On the night before she died, Du's mother said to her daughter: "Juan'er, you have to live well." This day has to be lived with a smile to have a taste. Even if you encounter difficulties, you should be tempered, and you will not feel bitter; If you keep thinking, "Why am I so unlucky?", that's bad, you're the most unfortunate person in the world. ”
Du Juan smiled and said, "Mom, you don't know my temperament yet." ”
Mother Du nodded with relief and said, "Mom, don't worry." With your optimistic temperament, mom doesn't have anything to worry about. If Mom leaves, don't be too sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are all common things in life, and we should look at it with a peaceful mind......"
After Du's mother left, Du Juan really didn't cry.
buried her mother, and she lived a life of no sorrow alone.
In March, when the spring flowers were blooming, Li Dun came and resigned.
"Li Dun!"
When the cuckoo saw his tall and familiar figure from afar, he jumped up and shook his hands happily and shouted, and then galloped over, causing the surrounding students to stop and look at them curiously.
Li Dun laughed silently as always, hugged her with open arms, and whispered in her ear: "Auntie is gone, I'll accompany you." ”
The cuckoo smiled, but a mist rose in his eyes.
It turned out that he had been watching her in the dark!
The cuckoo's teeth are growing back!
There was no cross-examination, no questioning, as if the people who had been working outside the home were as normal as they had returned home, and they resumed their relationship.
Cuckoo's girlfriends went out one after another, and bitterly advised her to be cautious: "You don't even ask about his previous affairs, just forget it?" Do you know what he's done? Do you know if he still loves you as much as he did before? Do you know ...... way?"
The cuckoo interrupted them and said with a smile: "My mother didn't leave me a large inheritance, what is there to worry about!" ”
The girlfriends looked at her and sighed.
Early in the morning, Du Juan and Li Dun sat by the creek next to the school to plan for the future.
Looking at the sparkling river, Li Dun asked the cuckoo: "What kind of life do you want to live?" ”
The cuckoo leaned into his arms and thought for a moment, "I thought about it...... Peachy life. It's like...... Just like Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, they live in the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain. But that's too illusory, I just need to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live a simple rural life. ”
Li Dun touched her hair and said softly: "Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu have gone through a lot of calamities, and they have returned to the dull after the worst. If they lived in the ancient tomb from the beginning and didn't come out, with Yang Guo's temperament, the two of them were afraid that they would not be able to come to an end, and it would be impossible to have such a beautiful ending. Because when people are young, they are always unwilling to be dull and yearn for the prosperous world. ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and asked the person in his arms: "Can you really put down the convenient and superior city life and go to the countryside to live?" Don't you sketch the ideal realm from your imagination? ”
After hearing this, the cuckoo thought about it seriously.
At the beginning of "The Condor Heroes", Xiaolongnu asked Yang Guo what if one day he felt bored in the ancient tomb. Yang Guo said, then let's go out and play. The little dragon girl was very worried when she heard this.
The cuckoo remembered this passage and thought seriously about himself.
After a while, she said to Li Dun: "I won't!" I've lived in the city since I was a child, and I'm tired of seeing the hustle and bustle. I love the countryside. I was very happy when you took me to the countryside to play. I'm a contented person, even if I'm a little uncomfortable at first, I'll get used to it when the days are long. ”
Li Dun solemnly asked: "Really?" ”
The cuckoo nodded vigorously and said, "Really." Alas! It's just unlikely. ”
Li Dun chuckled and said, "If you want to live a luxurious life, I can't do it; You want to live such a life, but it is a matter of effort. ”
The cuckoo sat up abruptly and asked in surprise, "You want to accompany me to the countryside?" Can you settle for the bland? ”
Men are not the same as women!
Li Dun smiled and nodded affirmatively, "I have also seen the prosperity of the city, and I can be regarded as having broken through." I'm originally from a rural background, and I still like rural life in comparison. ”
The cuckoo didn't believe it.
What has he experienced in the past few years?
She didn't want to ask, as long as she could be with him.
Thinking about it, she asked worriedly: "However, the country is not so easy to stay in, we ......"
It was so sudden that she was a little caught off guard.
Li Dun interrupted her and said, "It's not difficult. People always find all kinds of reasons to say that they can't help themselves, but in fact, they just can't let go. Really let go, everything is very simple, just lift your legs and walk. ”
The cuckoo was still stunned, so he heard him say again: "Besides, I have also saved some money in the past few years, more than 400,000 yuan." Going to the countryside to live is enough for a lifetime - we are not just sitting and eating empty mountains - will not let you live the life of primitive people. ”
The cuckoo ignored his joke and blurted out, "More than 400,000?" Where did you get so much money? Don't sell yourself! ”
It is natural to ask, not to ask or question.
Didn't he once have the president's daughter as his girlfriend!
Li Dun stared at her and asked, "If I sell my money, do you dare to use it?" ”
The cuckoo pouted and said, "Why don't I dare to use it?" It's just sour when I think about it. As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes without tears.
Li Dun smiled, hugged her tightly, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and his low voice seemed to be magnetic: "Don't worry, this is not money for selling your body." More than 400,000 yuan is not much - I can only buy a kitchen in Shanghai - I have been a supervisor for three or four years, and this money is not much. ”
He lowered his head again and whispered in her ear, "I'm still a virgin." The original seal has not been opened. Just waiting for you to open it! ”
When the cuckoo heard this, he obviously wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
She buried her head in his chest and asked sullenly, "Where are we going?" ”
Li Dun said: "Leave everything to me, you don't have to worry about it." ”
The cuckoo said, "Good! In the future, you will be Yang Guo, and I will be Xiaolongnu. ”
Li Dun shook his head and said, "I don't want to be Yang Guo, and you are not a little dragon girl." I don't like the little dragon girl like that, I like you like you. You are like the yellow cuckoo on the mountain, delicate and unrestrained......"
Cuckoo: "What does a yellow cuckoo look like?" ”
Li Dun: "You'll be able to see it in a few days." ”
……
Then, Li Dun got busy.
helped the cuckoo office resign, and then the two of them applied together to go to Quanshui Village, a remote mountain village below Quanxi Town, Zhuxi County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province (fictional and not investigated) to be teachers, and even moved their household registration......
After more than twenty days, everything was done.
After railways, highways, ordinary roads, and then dirt roads, the most rear...... They set out on winding mountain roads to paradise.
The cuckoo was only carrying a small bag, with his empty hands, panting as he walked and asked, "You...... Yes, how did you find this place? ”
It is the fragrant day of April in the world, along the way the mountains and mountains, the forest is forested, the bamboo is continuous, lush, the spring swallows the dangerous stones, the birdsong treetops, the cold pool is clear, and the fish play in the shallow water...... Endless mountain and forest scenery.
Li Dun carried a large travel bag, took her hand and dragged it away, and said, "I checked it before." Now, there are roads in all the mountains, and there is no quiet place in the countryside. I think that the place we go to should not be too backward, but also beautiful; It can't be too convenient, otherwise it won't be clean, and people won't necessarily accept us. This place is at the junction of Hubei, Shaanxi and Chongqing, and belongs to the category of Daba Mountain. This village is in the mountains, although the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but there are no famous scenic spots, and there are few people who come. You see, there are all directions outside, but there is no road in this mountain. There are only two villages in it, dozens of miles away from the town, and there are no attractive investment highlights, so the local government is unwilling to spend a lot of effort to build the road, which is why it is so clean. ”
When the cuckoo heard this, he hugged his arm and smiled: "Fortunately...... Lucky...... Ouch! I can't walk anymore, I need to rest for a while......"
Li Dun pulled her only small bag over and put it on her arm.
Standing and gasping for breath, the cuckoo smiled again: "I thought you were going to take me back to your hometown." ”
Li Dun smiled: "Although my hometown is not bad, there are too many people, and it is basically a border with the city, so I found this place." ”
The cuckoo asked, "Then why do you have to bother to apply to be a teacher?" Can't you just find a village to live in? ”
Li Dun looked at her and shook his head, and taught softly as before: "You, don't trust people so easily. If you have a place to go, relatives and friends can also find you; Otherwise, you just follow me away, what if I sell you? I've been out for a few years, maybe it's going to change! ”
A tune with her girlfriends.
The cuckoo looked at him with a bright smile and was silent.
She had never had such a thought.
After walking for more than four hours, after crossing three or four mountains, a valley appeared in front of me, deep in the fields full of green and flowers, and there was a village on the side of the mountain.
In the shade of the trees, there are houses on the ground. It was evening, and the smoke curled from the rooftops of the woods, steaming with mist, and the roosters and dogs barked, but the voices of people were not loud.
This is Quanshui Village.
