The beautiful days of spring always carry a warm warmth, which makes people's hearts also reveal a comfortable and slow energy. The morning sun is as red as drunk on the face, and the green grass sprouts are also swaying their slender waists, like a girlish spring love, which makes people happy. The glacier in the distance is still snow-white in the haze, that is, the sedimented mountain snow has not yet thawed, and it is clearly distinguished from the green grass below the mountain, but it has a unique style.

A winding road winds through the glacier basin of XJ, like a hidden dragon, with no end in sight. On the back of this hidden dragon, an off-road vehicle is walking eloquently, and several people can be faintly seen talking happily in the car.

"Lao Feng, when you were asked to come, you still shirked it in every possible way. I think you're the most fun on the way, so don't blame me for dragging it here, right? The man who spoke was a man in his fifties, with a somewhat thin face, a pair of black glasses, and his hair meticulously combed back against his scalp, although mixed with a little gray, but still in good spirits.

The person who is called Lao Feng is two years younger than the person who spoke, but he looks much older, maybe he goes out less, less exercise, and his posture is slightly fat. When I heard the ridicule at this moment, I just smiled slightly, "I said that if you are old, you will find me happy, right?" They are all in their fifties, and they are always like old children. Look at Xiao Li, although you are more than ten years older than him, you are less stable than him. ”

"Look at what you said, people often say that the old comes from the young, and the old comes from the young. What's missing? It's not age, it's mentality. If you want me to say, Xiao Li Chengwen is stable, but he still lacks the vitality of young people! You said no? Xiao Li. ”

Li Shaoyang, who was driving, listened to Lao Feng's question, but just smiled and didn't say much. But I also have to feel that my mentality is indeed a little too old. Shaoyang, Shaoyang, even the name lacks sunshine vitality, isn't it really too old. But can you blame yourself for this? Maybe it was fate!

Thinking of his own half of his life, Li Shaoyang's heart was also mixed with all kinds of tastes, and he was quite depressed. When he was young, his father left his mother and his wife alone, and they have not been heard from for many years. My mother was already a weak child, and with the blow of my father's departure, I said very little since then, and the whole person became silent and haggard. Maybe it's because there is bitterness in my heart, and I often feel depressed in my heart, my body is not as good as day by day, and my family is even more miserable. When Li Shaoyang was fifteen years old, his mother died of illness, which left Li Shaoyang's childhood memories only a trace of bitterness.

At that time, the place where he lived was only a remote village in Suzhou, and after his mother died, he was introduced by a kind old man in the township and apprenticed with a carving master.

Suzhou has been a place for carvers since ancient times, and the place where Li Shaoyang worked as an apprentice is also a hereditary town with carvers as a profession. Li Shaoyang's master is known as Skillful Zhou, proficient in a variety of delicate carving techniques, such as relief carving and hollow carving. Although it is not the best in the town, it is at least among the leading echelons in the industry.

Lao Zhou's full name is Zhou Yushu, and after learning about Li Shaoyang's experience, he took him in without saying a word. Since then, Li Shaoyang has finally had a place to settle, although his life is not rich, but it can be regarded as full and secure.

It is often said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and after experiencing the death of their father and their mother, although he is a teenager, Li Shaoyang has a maturity and stability that does not match his age. Since he became Zhou Yushu's apprentice, he plunged into it. Every day, there is no need for Zhou Yushu to say more, he keeps practicing carving, and even Zhou Yushu feels that the intensity is too great. Every time I saw Li Shaoyang carving for too long, I would ask him to rest or play for a while. But Li Shaoyang will always agree at the front, and then continue to carve. After many times, Zhou Yushu didn't say much, and he found that every time Li Shaoyang was occasionally in a daze, his expression always seemed a little sad, obviously thinking of some unhappy things in the past, and only at the moment of carving would he concentrate on the objects in his hands and forget everything.

Zhou Yushu understood the bitterness in Li Shaoyang's heart, maybe only by placing his love on carving could he be quiet, so he no longer forced him. is just teaching each other in carving, as if Li Shaoyang is half a son.

Li Shaoyang did not disappoint Zhou Yushu, the carving technology has made rapid progress, whether it is jade carving, nuclear carving or stone carving, etc., it will always show a vibrant and vivid form in his hands, or delicate and lovely, or delicate and gentle, or exquisite, as if giving them a soul.

In 2002, when Li Shaoyang was 28 years old, his carvers seemed to have become small, and the carvers were already the best among several apprentices, and they were almost the same as Zhou Yushu.

After more than ten years of getting along, Zhou Yushu also loved this disciple very much, and even married his daughter to Li Shaoyang, but this incident caused chaos. Zhou Yushu's daughter is called Zhou Yuting, and when she was a child, she liked to pester Li Shaoyang the most, and always followed behind her ass and asked Li Shaoyang to carve this and that for him. may have such an impression that Lao Zhou always thinks that the two are a pair of childhood sweethearts.

But as she grew older, Zhou Yuting did not follow her father's industry, but went abroad to study fashion design. Maybe after staying abroad for a few years, his personality has changed completely, and he doesn't like Li Shaoyang's taciturn temperament very much.

But Zhou Yushu really wants to combine the two, maybe people are getting older, people have become a little stubborn, the father and daughter have made trouble I don't know how many times, and even Li Shaoyang has been persuaded a few times by Zhou Yushu A few times, asking him if he doesn't look down on his daughter, or if he doesn't agree to sever the master-apprentice relationship and other words, Li Shaoyang will also have a headache.

In the end, the two couldn't get into trouble with Zhou Yushu, and finally became relatives. After getting married, Zhou Yuting refused to have sex with Li Shaoyang, and Li Shaoyang felt a little indebted to this junior sister in his heart, so he didn't force it. Lao Zhou died of illness not long after, and he may think that Li Shaoyang has a stable heart, and he always wants to find someone worthy of trust for his daughter before leaving, so he will be so stubborn to match the two.

But Lao Zhou never thought that his daughter would divorce Li Shaoyang after he left. She confessed to Li Shaoyang that she got married just because she couldn't resist her father, but she didn't love him. She already had someone she liked, so she begged Li Shaoyang to agree to her.

Li Shaoyang looked at Zhou Yuting's resolute expression, and knew that he had no weight in her heart. In fact, he still has feelings for his little sister, after all, the two are childhood sweethearts' playmates, but he never thought that a strong marriage would make the two embarrassed and strange. He didn't hold on too much, cut the thread in his hand, and let go of the last trace of emotion in his heart.

Since Zhou Yuting left, Li Shaoyang has no nostalgia for this town where he has lived for nearly 30 years, and finally packed his bags and left this place in 2010. He then worked as an engraver in a jewelry store in SH. Since Zhou Yuting, Li Shaoyang has no desire for marriage, and is more obsessed with the carving career, and in a few years, he has mixed from a carver to the position of the chief carver, and has also made a lot of reputation in the carving circle.

In 2014, Lao Yu's organization, Li Shaoyang and Lao Feng drove to XJ to travel together, looking for any better Hetian jade seeds.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li!" The shouting in his ears pulled Li Shaoyang's thoughts back to reality.

"Huh? What's wrong? Feng Lao. ”

"I didn't hear you twice, and I don't know what you're thinking. Over the years, my brother has some understanding of your situation, and it is not suitable for you to be such a person, and there must always be a woman in the family to live. Don't be so boring, women, always like humorous men. Feng Lao was also quite embarrassed in his heart, he didn't worry much about Li Shaoyang's remarriage, but he didn't succeed in introducing a few, and people basically thought Li Shaoyang was too dull. Feng Lao talked to Li Shaoyang about this matter a lot, but it had little effect, which made Feng Lao feel quite helpless.

"Old Feng, I know you're doing it for my good, but I'm really not in the mood to think about these things now."

"Alas......!" Hearing Li Shaoyang's words, Lao Feng sighed, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly froze.

"Forget it! Never mind! Lao Feng, let Xiao Li do as he wishes. Don't talk about these things today, come out to play, find fun, and do these unhappy things! When we get to the town in front, let's take a break and go to the Tianshan Mountains tomorrow to have a look, okay? Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Lao Yu diverted from the current topic.

"Can I say I can't? This pull was pulled out by you, and you were only led away. ”

"This is pulling and leading, although you are a cow, you can't really be a cow!" Lao Yu squinted his eyes and smiled and laughed.

"You...... You guy, a mouth will hurt people, but I can't talk about you. Although Lao Feng said so, he didn't look angry at all. He knew in his heart that Lao Yu was enlivening the atmosphere, forgetting the dull topic in front of him, and going down the slope with a little loss on his lips, and not losing a piece of meat, it was nothing.

At this moment, although the two were fighting, their eyes were on Li Shaoyang's face, and seeing that the corners of his mouth were also revealing a hint of a smile, both of them were relieved in their hearts, and it seemed that Li Shaoyang was not unhappy because of the previous conversation. Then the two continued to fight and headed in the direction of the town.

Gradually, the interior of the car has become calm, and the occasional snoring sounds. It turned out that Lao Feng and Lao Yu had already fallen asleep, and the two of them were older, and they felt a little tired after making a fuss, and then fell asleep. Li Shaoyang looked at Lao Yu and Lao Feng who were snoring from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

The two and Li Shaoyang are also considered to be teachers and friends, in terms of carving technology, Lao Feng and Lao Yu can also be regarded as Taishan Beidou, he has asked the two of them for advice. They don't hide it either, but do their best. In life, the two elders have helped a lot. Li Shaoyang also understands that although he has a stable personality, he doesn't like words, he is not young, and after so many years, his personality has been stereotyped, and it is already difficult to change again.

The car continued to drive slowly, and in front of it was a winding mountain road, facing mountains on one side and cliffs on the other.

"Xiao Li, where are you now?" Lao Yu's voice was a little muttered, Xu had just woken up, and he was still a little confused.

"You can see the town over the hills ahead."

"Alas...... I feel a sore back when I sleep, and I am so old, with old arms and legs, it is really not bumpy. "Lao Yu rubbed his waist, and sleeping in the car was always not very comfortable.

"Hold on, we'll be in town later!" Li Shaoyang had no choice but to comfort him.

At this moment, the car has gone up the mountain road, and the mountain road is not very spacious, only enough for two cars side by side, which seems a little crowded. There was a turning place in front of him, and there was no road condition behind the bend, so Li Shaoyang slowed down and honked twice.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"

A hurried horn came from behind the bend, apparently with a car behind the bend. Li Shaoyang brought the foot brake, and the speed of the car became even slower. The horn still didn't stop, and the people who screamed in a rapid and sharp voice were a little irritable, Li Shaoyang frowned slightly, and let the car turn slowly.

As soon as the front of the car turned the corner, I saw a white two-seater truck appear in the field of vision like a lightning bolt. Li Shaoyang's heart tightened, and he quickly turned the steering wheel, but he was still one step too late.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, which made people's hearts tremble. Li Shaoyang only felt a huge impact coming from the front of the car, and his head hit the steering wheel all of a sudden. Then I felt a sharp pain. There were also screams and the sound of glass breaking in his ears, and he was worried about Lao Yu and Lao Feng in the back seat, but the pain in his whole body made him unable to move. I only felt a cold feeling on my skull, and then a blood-red color appeared in my eyes.

In just a moment, a dull feeling of exhaustion came over me. Li Shaoyang only felt that his consciousness was a little blurred, and his eyelids felt heavier and heavier.

Am I going to die? It turns out that death is how it feels. Li Shaoyang didn't feel fear at the moment, and his life flashed in his mind like a movie. It turns out that I live so miserably, and I don't know where people go after death, or if they just have a dirt left.

If there is an afterlife, I hope I will no longer live so tired, this is the last sentence that Li Shaoyang thought before his consciousness disappeared.

The next day, on the side of the XJ Daily, there was such a piece of news.

A traffic accident occurred on a mountain road 20 miles away from the town of Nachitai, where a truck collided with a Ford SUV, killing two people and seriously injuring him. According to the investigation, the cause of the accident was that the brakes of the truck failed when going downhill, and the speed was too fast, and the two cars could not avoid it when turning, which caused the accident. The two injured are the famous carving master Feng Jincai and Yu Zhongxian, who are still in the hospital and unconscious. The two deceased, one was a truck driver of XJ Tianyu Logistics Company, and the other was Li Shaoyang, the chief carver of SH Fuyuan Jewelry Company, who died at the age of 41.
