Chapter Twenty-Nine: On the Road

October 1st, National Day, six o'clock in the morning, the sky is dark, cold and heavy. I got up in Sun Hao's shouting and Lu Xue's soft urging, changed clothes, washed, and followed their brisk and rapid steps down the stairs in a sleepy mood.

In the early morning, the community is cold and quiet, and the air is more fresh and heavy under the moisture of the morning dew. The lonely street lamps shone softly on the dew on the tips of the leaves, and the small droplets reflected the world that was about to wake up. If you just look at these, you can still give people a sense of tranquility and laziness, if you ignore the words of a few people under the street lamp.

Under the street lamp, Zhang Hui, Feng Xiaolu, Zhou Ying and others were gathering together to chat without a word, and looked at the staircase from time to time, and when they saw us coming, Feng Xiaolu glared at us angrily, and then hugged their shoulders tightly, and their bodies trembled violently. I looked at Feng Xiaolu, and she was wearing her precious white three-quarter-sleeved silk satin dress with Suzhou embroidery, which I had only seen at a party last year, and it was said that it cost Zhang Hui three months' salary. I looked at her and found it hard to believe that she would go hiking in between clothes.

"It's finally here, can we go?" Feng Xiaolu snorted angrily and said.

"Well, wait, there's still someone who hasn't arrived." Sun Hao looked at them and said with a little embarrassment.

"Who else is coming?" Zhou Ying asked suspiciously, but after the words came out, she seemed to feel a little abrupt, and hurriedly moved in the direction of Feng Xiaolu.

I looked at Zhou Ying, who was also hugging her shoulders, as if she was also uncomfortable with the temperature in the early morning. Today she wore a dark brown low-cut milk silk bodysuit dress with lace lace with patterned suspenders, and a short olive-green puff-sleeved mesh jacket studded with beads.

"Brother, who else is coming?" Lu Xue also asked suspiciously.

Sun Hao nodded, glanced at me, and said incomprehensibly, "In view of the fact that there is a freak among us, in order not to let him ruin our interest, I invited a master." ”

I""

"Brother, you're going too far." Lu Xue glared at him and moved in the direction of Feng Xiaolu, her hand on her shoulder as if she wanted to tighten her clothes, but then she withdrew her hand with some embarrassment. She was wearing a white slanted one-shoulder suspender pleated dress today.

Looking at them, I was speechless for a while, looked at Sun Hao and asked solemnly, "That, we're going to climb the mountain, right?" ”

Sun Hao nodded, "But that mountain is not high." You don't have to worry if you can't get up. ”

"I'm not worried about me, I'm saying that they don't seem to be suitable for mountaineering with their clothes."

"We're going to travel, not to the primeval jungle." Suddenly, a voice floated from behind me.

I turned my head and it was Wang Huan who spoke.

"Wang Huan?" I tilted my head, frowned, and muttered to myself solemnly.

Sun Hao nodded with a wicked smile, and hurriedly introduced Wang Huan to everyone, and finally did not forget to add that with her joining, their journey will definitely be very pleasant. Everyone nodded approvingly, and then burst into laughter.

Listening to their laughter, I shook my head slightly, laughing, why do people laugh?

Sun Hao drove the car and pulled us towards the established destination. In the car, Wang Huan quickly became familiar with everyone, and she quickly integrated into Feng Xiaolu and them with her philosophical style and many years of online shopping experience. She praised Feng Xiaolu's natural temperament, and expressed with a little envy that Zhou Ying's figure was very good, as well as Lu Xue's innocence. We were speechless for a while.

I shook my drowsy head, crawled to the passenger seat, pressed the CD player that was playing rock music, and plugged in the USB stick I had brought.

"Wait, wait, little mountain, you're not going to put on some kind of nocturne, are you? It was too elegant for us to enjoy. ”

"No," I shook my head, plugged in the USB stick, and sat down in my place.

The soothing music slowly rippled through the carriage, and I closed my eyes and slowly relaxed with the music.

"Hill?" Sun Haohao suddenly roared, "You still said it's not a nocturne?" What about the lyrics? ”

I opened my eyes, "It's really not a nocturne in E flat major." ”

"Brother, this is Canon." Lu Xue said busily.

"I don't care about any canon, I just know that it's dangerous to let me listen to this and drive."

I nodded and said to Zhang Hui, "Zhang Hui, you can open it." ”

Everyone,""

Wang Huan looked at everyone, then at me, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The fish will never understand the feelings of the bird." Then he took out his USB flash drive, climbed to the co-pilot seat and unplugged mine, and plugged hers.

The music sounded again, this time it was some ordinary pop music, and it seemed that Sun Hao did not resist. Wang Huan glanced at me and said, "Crazy people always think that their world is normal. ”

There was another burst of laughter in the carriage.

Mirth. I closed my eyes, calmed my mind, and thought, laughing and crying are relative, in psychology, laughter is a non-intrusive but aggressive behavior carried out by people when they are playing, and frolicking is to exercise people's offensive consciousness, these two contradictory behaviors exist at the same time, so that the brain has a wrong deviation in the processing process, so it forms laughter.

Crying is the earliest behavior of people, and crying is generally because they have been hurt by themselves that they cannot resist or bear, and then they make instinctive behaviors in order to seek protection. At the same time, it is also a kind of alarm, a kind of crisis sharing.

Laughing and crying, I shook my head gently, neither of which seemed to suit me.

"Brother Xiaoshan, what do you want?" I opened my eyes and saw Luxue looking at me with her cheeks held and smiling.

"Why do people laugh? And why do you cry? ”

"Oh, that's an old question, isn't it?"

"Why do you laugh, why do you cry, you can't cry and you can't laugh, do you think you cultivate immortals?" Wang Huan said angrily.

Everyone laughed again, and then cast admiring glances at Sun Hao. Sun Hao smiled evilly and shook his head lightly.

Lu Xue looked at everyone, then at me, and wanted to say something, but she never said it. He just smiled at me, then turned his head and continued to look out the window with a smile on his cheeks.

A smile, as opposed to a smile, should be a sob, I thought silently. Smiling should be a vision and anticipation of the future, or what is to come, and when you are satisfied, the brain has to deal with the side effects of too many emotions. Sobbing is an emotion, loss and sadness caused by the loss or inability to obtain resources that the body does not urgently need. It should be the result of compromise processing because the brain has preset the feeling that it can't get when it really needs it in the future, but because the pre-feeling is not a real feeling, the brain can't show it as if it was really lost.

Smiling and sobbing, I looked at the dew snow smiling and looking out the window, and also looked out the window.

The car drove for more than three hours and finally arrived at the destination, Sun Hao parked the car, everyone began to climb the mountain, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the temperature finally warmed up.

It's not a scenic area, and of course there are no toll booths, let alone cable cars. At the foot of the mountain is a small mountain village, and there are not many people in the village, most of them are some elderly people and left-behind children. Sun Hao deposited the car in a family that seemed to be quite wealthy, and said that he was going to the Taoist temple on the mountain, and the old man of the family happily agreed after receiving the money.

The road up the mountain is a long road, the mountain road is always more difficult than people think, rugged, winding, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, everyone is walking slowly on the mountain road, Feng Xiaolu and Zhou Ying are no longer excited when they set off, replaced by a slight frown.

The temperature at eleven o'clock slowly warmed up, Sun Hao and Zhang Hui had already started to wipe their sweat non-stop, Feng Xiaolu and Zhou Ying, Wang Huan also began to complain, only Lu Xue still kept smiling and walked quietly behind me.

Sun Hao looked at Lu Xue, frowned and said, "Xiaoxue, come, come to my brother." ”

Lu Xue glanced at him lightly, smiled and refused, "No, I still like to look at Brother Xiaoshan's back." ”

Everyone stopped abruptly and looked at me meaningfully.

Sun Hao looked at me a little embarrassed, then looked at Lu Xue, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything for a long time.

I turned to look at Luxue and said calmly, "If it's hot, just walk in my shadows." ”

Everyone""

"Xiaoshan, you, you guy" Sun Hao roared fiercely. The crowd also looked disdainful.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoshan." Lu Xue replied cheerfully. Continue to walk behind me.

Everyone""

I slowly turned my head and suddenly saw a man in the bushes, very close to us, less than a meter away. The man was dressed in shabby clothes, like those of the fifties and sixties of the last century, with messy hair, and his eyes were blankly looking at the mountain road, but strangely enough, he had a round mouse-like nose and three beards on the cheeks. I looked at him, didn't seem surprised, turned my head and walked on.

Everyone continued to climb the mountain road, and after about ten minutes, Zhou Ying suddenly said, "I seem to have seen something just now." ”

"You mean sitting alone in the bushes?" Lu Xue hurriedly asked.

"You saw that too?"

"Well, did Brother Xiaoshan see it?" Luxue asked again.

I nodded.

"What do you see?" Feng Xiaolu was confused and hurriedly asked. Sun Hao, Zhang Hui, and Wang Huan also looked puzzled.

Lu Xue hurriedly described the scene she saw, and everyone looked incredulous.

"Let's go, go back and see." Feng Xiaolu's curiosity rose again, and she hurriedly pulled everyone to go back and have a look.

"Can't go back." Zhou Ying and Wang Huan said eagerly in unison.

"Why?"

"That's Xian'er, we can't go back, I heard Aunt Liu say that Xian'er is not what we want to see, even if we see it, we can't be offended, we see it when we see it, but we must not go back to question." Wang Huan said very seriously.

I frowned and thought about it, shook my head slightly, and said lightly, "There are no immortals in this world." ”

"Haven't you heard the story of cultivating immortals?" Wang Huan asked.

"That's the story."

"It's not necessarily all stories, I know a legend, I don't dare to say that it must be true, but I must not say that it must be a made-up story." Zhou Ying said lightly.

"Oh, Zhou Ying still knows this kind of thing, anyway, the road up the mountain is boring enough, let's talk about it quickly." Feng Xiaolu's curiosity is the strongest I have ever seen, and when she saw Zhou Ying say this, she hurriedly shouted.

Zhou Ying smiled faintly, her eyes drifted into the distance, as if she was remembering something, then sighed and said softly, "That is a story that happened a long, long time ago. ”
