After a day and a night of hard work, with the cooperation of the troops, the line was cleared, the mud accumulated on the railway line was cleared, and the cliffs that collapsed under the line were also cleaned up. People lined up in a square formation and stood in the open space, and the temporary colored platform was lined with slogans and colorful flags flying. After the leaders of the road bureau, the troops, and the work area spoke one after another, the train blocking the railway line in front of it sounded a very long whistle, and the signalman stood beside the roadbed and waved the signal flag a few times rhythmically, and the train clattered to the place of the accident, and continued to sound the whistle, passing slowly in front of the queue as if it were a salute and a salute. Ren Yan stood next to the camping car, looking at the people one by one energetically holding their heads high, as if they were complacent, looking at the distant steel dragon turned a mountain mouth and gradually disappeared in the twilight depths of Bashan, a kind of uncontrollable curiosity prompted her to pick up the shovel and dance left and right, and then held her head high, with a pair of bright eyes with a smile and a smile, "Your work is quite meaningful!" ”

"Meaningful?" Du Ruo blinked in surprise, looking at Ren Yan's leisurely and fascinated expression, with a pure smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't know the hard work of the road maintenance workers, and couldn't help but grin self-deprecatingly, "When a road maintenance worker in the mountains who is almost thirty years old and can't marry a daughter-in-law, dangling on dozens of miles of railway lines all day long, opening his eyes is too familiar with the mountains and rivers and rivers, and closing his eyes is too strange to be strange to the terroir and people, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense at all!" ”

Ren Yan sneered and pursed her mouth, watching people ride in cars, march in marches, and walk like the flow of the ebb tide, scattering from the immortal pass. also hurriedly stood on the side of the road with a smile, said hello to familiar or unfamiliar people, and then packed up the toolbox and carried it on his shoulder, while taking the bamboo basket from Du Ruo's hand, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, it's always like this to say that life is always like this, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and he doesn't have a sense of humor at all!" ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a while, he couldn't speak for a long time, shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly for a long time, picked up the shovel in frustration, silently followed behind the people returning to the work site, and walked back to the small station with Ren Yan.

At this time, the sky also opened, the clouds also dispersed, the sunset set set off a flickering red tide in the distant mountains, the fantasy and gorgeous clouds flashed in the sky for half a day, the birds and birds that had been hidden for a day chirped and fluttered out of the woods, the mountains were full of mountains and mountains in pairs, and even the flowing springs that were usually unaware seemed to be particularly melodious and pleasant, flowing from the stones, rushing to the sand and waves rippling on the stream, and pouring into the deep pool wave by wave.

Du Ruo took a distracted step, a solemn sense of despair rose in his empty mind, and he saw Ren Yan's graceful figure moving all the way on the potholed mountain road, and his vivid body twisted into a graceful curve. Du Ruo's heart moved, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and now Ren Yan was dressed as a railway worker, his plump and delicate skin shone softly on the sleeves and trouser legs rolled up high in his work clothes, and the fragrance unique to a mature woman's surname hit the bottom of his nose. Du Ruo approached in confusion, sticking to Ren Yan as if he was stupid, and the figures of one tall and one short were almost superimposed into an image of two flying side by side. Ren Yan turned her head and smiled warmly at him, and tacitly slowed down her pace, letting Du Ruo stick to her shoulder as if she were drunk. The two are almost like couples in love, snuggling up to each other on the way home. On both sides of the secluded railway, reflecting the glow of the sunset, the picturesque scenery is unique, and the mountains and forests along the line are covered by the twilight, and the wind blows the leaves and makes a sound, which is very empty and pleasant. The two of them walked out a few miles with a heart, and the flowers and weeds in the mountains and weeds were also intoxicated by this reckless intimacy and tight heat. Suddenly, Ren Yan let out an "ouch" and almost fell to the ground. Du Ruo hurriedly reached out and grabbed her and took the basket. Seeing Ren Yan's frowning eyebrows, the corners of his mouth out of shape, and his expression of pain, Du Ruoli felt a different kind of tenderness flooding in his heart, and he actually leaned down and looked at Ren Yan with a hot and eager gaze that only couples can have, "What's the matter, it hurts so much?" ”

Ren Yan was stunned for a while, subconsciously frowned, and tilted her head to the side very unnaturally, "It doesn't matter, it's okay!" Du Ruo still didn't believe it, so he naturally put his hand around her waist. Ren Yan hurriedly lowered her body, squatted on the ground, and said in a cold accent, "It doesn't matter, it's really fine!" Du Ruo was secretly taken aback, a look of embarrassment rose on his face, and he seemed to understand something, smiled blankly, and silently stepped aside with a sense of resentment and anger.

"Oh, it's beautiful! Than the Northern Song Dynasty? Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" is not inferior at all! Ren Yan suddenly sat on the toolbox, excitedly pointing to the sunset that was about to fade away in the distant mountains, and her exaggerated eyes flashed with incredible surprise and surprised joy.

"You save it, this can be compared with Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", do you understand, "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" is a masterpiece that shows the art of time in space art, it is an eternal painting of mountains looking up, scenery and traveling, mountains, waters, and people are integrated! It's just a few pieces of light and color that don't make up anything, let's go, no one will look at you, and no matter how late it is, you won't be able to see the way when you get home! ”

"You're a real person, you don't know anything about it. Leshan and water, gas are combined, pillow stone gargle, chanting of it. I also paint! Ren Yan pursed her lips unhappily, and looked up at Du Ruo with regret that her good intentions had been destroyed.

"Hey, I have to kindly remind you that it's better for you to talk a little bit of virtue, I'm still a rude and vulgar mountain road maintainer!"

Ren Yan was suddenly startled, a wisp of sneer hung on the corner of her mouth, looking at Du Ruo's cold and gloomy face, a few wisps of dark clouds suffocated by anger and resentment lingered on her eyebrows, and she smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Hurriedly crutched his knees trembling and wanted to stand up, but his feet were crooked, and he fell on the toolbox again, and two crystal tears rolled out of his eyes, "Ouch, my foot is broken!" ”

"Why did you just say it's okay!" Du Ruo hurriedly leaned down, looking at Ren Yan's sad face, it was difficult to even stretch her legs and move her feet, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her knead, thinking about it, and slowly stood up, in a tone that the boss was unhappy with, "Do you want me to help you rub it!" ”

"What do you say! The whole work area is not saying that I am your wife, and your body has been looked at all over you, what face do I have to be ashamed of! Ren Yan sighed faintly, her face was full of melancholy and sadness, and the choked words sprayed on Du Ruo's face like spittle.

"You're such a, a human face and a dog face for a while!" Du Ruo's complexion changed, and he felt like a fly in his heart, and a disdainful sneer floated on the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to talk about cool things, and you are a resentful woman who succumbs to death at every turn." No one forces you, no one rushes you to the sedan chair, you pat your ass and leave anytime and anywhere. Do you think that the leader persuaded you to stay, I made a cage, and the workers kept you, and I set the fire on the wind. See your ghost, I like you and offer you as a goddess, but that's the person who likes you, not covets your body, when you were more beautiful than flowers, I didn't have the idea of beating your body, and now I won't! The words are still good, Luo, you didn't debunk my Western scenery and help me make a big lie, you are giving me face and giving me a great favor. But have you thought about it, why did the leaders persuade you to keep you, and why the workers kept you, not because you left a good reputation in the work area in the past? If I shake out your little and broadcast you around like a broken shoe, will you still have the face to stay here, and people will still embrace you like the stars holding the moon! It's really a pig's brain, you can think clearly with your feet, and you just can't think about it when it comes to you! ”

"Okay, as long as you talk a lot and are sensible, don't you have three sticks when you can't beat a fart, how can you speak now? Hurry up, rub it well, I'm dying of pain! Ren Yan glanced at Du Ruo angrily, looked at Du Ruo's strange and funny frowning, and when it came to the end, she looked like a shrunken embarrassment, and unconsciously burst into a smiling face, and deliberately stretched her feet in front of Du Ruo, but seeing that Du Ruo really squatted down, she stretched out her hand eagerly, and the sudden shyness made her face flush, and an indescribable melancholy swept through her mind, and she hurriedly retracted her feet with a difficult face, "I...... I'm fine, you need to be lighter! ”

"You are the jade bird that flies without flying, you are the mountain partridge that does not cry on a sunny day and does not cry on a rainy day, you can't turn back if you don't drill into other people's skynets, and you can't do it without a few cries, and your brother can't hear it," Du Ruo smiled, full of humiliation and annoyance, he approached Ren Yan calmly, gently pillowed her legs on his legs, and looked at Ren Yan leaning slightly uneasily, and after removing her shoes and socks, her delicate and white paws were very red and swollen, and she was angry and funny for a while. He carefully rubbed the red and swollen spots, thoughtfully tied her trouser legs, and saw that Ren Yan was still slightly closed, a little shyness lingered on Yan Ran's smiling face, and silky hair brushed over his shoulders like a broom. Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and all kinds of scenes of the world of the two surnames occupied his entire heart. I don't know how long it took, Ren Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and with the gratitude that emerged from the bottom of her heart, she stared at Du Ruo warmly, "Didn't you study at Handa a few years ago, didn't you graduate, why are you still working as a road maintenance worker?" ”

"I graduated early, and I got three diplomas in philosophy, Chinese, and history!" Du Ruo stood up, his deep-seated self-shame in front of Ren Yan made him tense his face angrily, and sneering words popped out of his mouth like a cannon, "But what's the use? The work area arranges to teach at the children's school. You know my cultural background, the books I read are for dabbling, and the second is for exams, and I can't compare with students who graduated from regular normal colleges at all. Besides, you're gone, and you're in the town with no one to show me the way, and you can't find a way out if you want to make a living. The world does not know Dongfang Shuo, and the Great Hidden Golden Gate is an immortal. Rather than stay alone in the town and be bound for eight hours, it is better to work as a road maintenance worker in the mountains. I thought about it, even if I did it, changed the environment, and there was no future for eating chalk ash for the rest of my life, and it was not my ideal to be full of peach and plum all over the world, and I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law in the city, who would like to hang their daughter's urban household registration on the household registration book of the mountain people. ”

"Why don't you marry a daughter-in-law without saying a word, maybe your highest ideal is to marry a beautiful woman in the city!" Ren Yan's face changed abruptly, and the little confidence in Du Ruocai's heart turned into powder, and her voice suddenly became sharp and hard like broken glass.

"That's right, it's really someone who knows me, and Teacher Ren too!" Du Ruo felt humiliated, as if a basin of dirty water was splashed on his head, he suddenly raised his voice, and two ** spicy unbearable eyes were projected on Ren Yan's face without scruples, "But can I get married, I have been dreaming for almost thirty years, isn't it still a fool's dream, Qi Ren Wild Talk." I'm almost like Chun Yudi to go to Dahuai Anguo to be Nanke Taishou, I'm almost like Lu Sheng to find Taoist priest Lu Weng to borrow a pillow to have a sweet dream, don't you still have to bury your talent in this mountain, waste your youth on this small station, and in the end you still have to marry a daughter-in-law in the mountains, and you can't go to the city or out of the mountain for the rest of your life! Let's go, don't talk about these bad things, I will be angry and desperate when I say this. Come, I'll carry you, and you won't be able to get home when it's dark! ”

Ren Yan's heart was agitated and lay on Du Ruo's back, this despicable and lowly mountain road maintenance worker, it was she who guided him to embark on the journey of artistic creation regardless of her face, and it was she who supported him regardless of the gains and losses, but she didn't expect that a few years later, he was still so old-fashioned, still so stubborn, he didn't get his name, he didn't get any profit, he was still like a mole crawling in the depths of the mountains, and he was still in love with every grass and tree here like a fox dead head, he would take the idea, his temper was growing, and he was a face that he never met at every turn. From time to time, what is revealed is the image of the Luotuo literati who I want to go to the blue sky, and all I keep talking about is how to marry a daughter-in-law in the city, and what I think about is how to fly gold on my face. If you continue to read in this way, the book will be in vain, and the hard work will be in vain, at best, he is only the best of the mediocre, and the great is the best in the mountains, and the ideal he pinned on him is no less different from the abyss, and his hope of enduring humiliation and insults and letting him talk nonsense is no different from the judgment of the clouds. She was angry and angry, sad and pitiful for a while, and she wanted to calm down a few more words of comfort, but she didn't know where to start; She wanted to warn a few more times, but she didn't know how to speak, her thoughts floated in the dilemma for a while, but what she opened her mouth to say was the last glimmer of hope in her heart, "You have been working on creation for the past few years!" ”

Du Ruo was stunned when he heard this, and his steps on the mountain road stopped, his face was full of doubts for a while, but the gratitude in his heart for Ren Yan's insightful eyes and pearls and the feeling that it was difficult to find a confidant over the years made his heart warm like a fire, but after a while, the extreme disgust buried in his heart for her abandoning herself in the past and the contempt that she didn't care about in order to transfer to the city made his heart shrink for a while, as if a cloud of ashes fell on his heart in an instant. Even the spark was extinguished, making him say perfunctorily in a light and shockingly cold tone, "It's still working, but it's not as invested as before!" ”

"How could it be?" Ren Yan was full of suspicion for a while, and the second Zhang Jingang was confused, looking up at Du Ruo with a puzzled expression, and looking at Du Ruo with a smile.

"How could it not!" Du Ruo was suddenly emotional, and put Ren Yan on the toolbox with his waist, as if the boredom that had been stuck in his heart for a long time broke a gap, and it was like a deep hatred for her who couldn't extricate himself from the slightest excuse, so that he raised his head fearlessly, staring at Ren Yan's eyes that seemed very warm in an instant, "I'm just a road maintenance worker in the mountains, what's the use of painting that Raushzi, I can't fly to the city to show my ambitions, but I can't show my ambitions in the mountains, but I lose my reputation, said that I was so ambitious and uneasy to work, I was suffocated in the mountains all day long, and I couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law in the mountains, and I was a bachelor for the rest of my life! ”

Ren Yan was embarrassed for a while, the heat in his chest surged upward, and his face was flushed with a strange passion, "You just see through the red dust like this, you are so playful and discouraged, have you thought about it, your future is all on your brush, if you put your pen on hold, then all your past efforts will not be in vain, and all your past efforts will not become nonsense." Roman? Roland said: Life is a hard struggle, you can never take a break, otherwise, you may lose all your efforts in an instant. You are now like a small boat that has rowed to the center of the river, rowing forward, reaching the other side of the ideal, just those oars, rowing backwards, going back, and those oars, it depends on whether you are a strong man or a coward. Man's greatest enemy is actually himself, and indulging himself is the greatest crime against himself, which is a universal truth. You're not going to be a boneless umbrella that can't be held up when things come to an end! ”

"Yes, I'm a boneless umbrella!" Du Ruo clenched his throat and tightened his throat, his voice was stinky and hard like a stone in a latrine, "You have ambition and perseverance, why don't you stay in the mountains!" You'd rather marry a half-old man in the city than start a family in the mountains! Yes? You are from the city, educated, shy and closed! Here you have bent your talents, damaged your people, and wasted your heavenly beauty! It's really a hell of a life, there will be a few female college students in the city who will settle down here in the station, aren't they all living well, don't they all have a big belly to seek death! You always have a mouth to talk about others, but you don't have a mouth to talk about yourself, make this request today, talk about that idea tomorrow, I am miserable by you! At that time, if I hadn't listened to your nonsense, put my head on your neck and thought about things, my education level was not high, I could study, and the social environment was not good, and I could have changed, would I have engaged in personal struggle like this! Ants on a live chopping board、Find food under the knife! If I use this energy and use this time to write the party application, to pretend to be a fake positive, I will at least be a deputy director now, and I can also eat and drink spicy, why worry about not finding a beauty in the city! If I relied on this ability, used this wisdom to resign and become self-employed, to drill the eyes of money, how could I be a 10,000 yuan household now, still eat sugar cakes, add honey, and my son will not be in swaddling clothes! is still guilty of getting up early and feeling dark all night, like a fantat, pinning a little hope and dream on the pile of ancient books, like a poor measure, and losing a little dignity and face in repeated failures! I don't want to climb to the sky in one step, I want to use all my strength to breastfeed, I don't want to get ahead, I want to climb up even if I sharpen my head. There is a famous saying in The Wealth of Nations: Even a nail contains technology; As the saying goes: broken bricks and rotten rubble also have a time to support table legs. Why am I useless at all! Why did I achieve nothing! Isn't it just that you insist on giving up all opportunities for the sake of learning, and you don't obsessively give up all your luck for the sake of art, and you also say: there are times when broken bricks and rotten rubble also have table legs. Why am I useless at all! Why did I achieve nothing! Isn't it just bent on giving up all opportunities for the sake of learning, isn't it just obsessively ruining all your luck for the sake of art? At the same time, there are many generations on the road, and the road is dangerous and difficult to follow. Can you help you understand this kind of anguish and hesitation of great ambition and unfulfilled ambition, and you can't express a little sympathy for the sadness and disappointment of this kind of extraordinary ambition and unfulfilled ambition? You will only pick and choose, point fingers, sit on the high branches and say cool words! You put the bench over and sit in the sand, and put yourself in my shoes! You have enlightened me, enlightened me, thanked me for your kindness, borrowed a lot of books from me to read, you lit the first guiding light on my troubled and numb life road, and you created a new world in the depths of my ignorant mind. But it's all gone, and you've thrown this affection and friendship out of the sky as a whim. At that time, who didn't say that we were a natural pair of talented women and beautiful women, and who didn't say that we were a pair of like-minded real estate at that time. You are like a ghost touching your brain, you don't hesitate to sacrifice your personal happiness and future to be transferred back to the city, you are like a mad dog biting your heart, you don't hesitate to destroy your own reputation and dignity to go to the small citizens, you didn't eat the idealism and romanticism of the world's fireworks at that time, didn't you transfer your love from your mouth to the usual firewood, rice, oil and salt! You are so vicious, so duplicitous, eat coal, black conscience, don't go to the mountains to find dead sand, the world of flowers and flowers in the city is boundless, ** There is no place to bury incense and bury jade! You're good, eat lamp grass and put a light fart, and you have to pull a cushion back when you die, is it because Du Ruobei, a countryman, recognizes a mallet as a needle, and wants to open a dyeing workshop if you give a little color, maybe you will use it as royal jelly if you give a bottle of dichlorvos! "Don't go to the mountains to find dead sand, the world of flowers and flowers in the city is boundless, ** there is no place to bury incense and bury jade! You're good, eat lamp grass and put a light fart, and you have to pull a cushion back when you die, is it because Du Ruobei, a countryman, recognizes a mallet as a needle, and wants to open a dyeing workshop if you give a little color, maybe you will use it as royal jelly if you give a bottle of dichlorvos! ”

"Enough, you've made me cheap enough, you've insulted me enough!" Ren Yan was furious for a while, and the blood stains in her chest swayed uncontrollably, making her face red, dizzy and unstable, and her soul was also humiliated and detached from her shell, turning into a violent riot on her eyebrows, making her sit on the toolbox and tremble, "No wonder people call you Du Er, there is a string in your head!" It's really a toad jumping on the plate - I don't know my weight, the shell lang runs into the mill - pretending to be a donkey dung ball! Why did I hurt you? You can't be an official and can't make a fortune, it's me who misled you, what kind of material are you! You can't even wash your own face, you can't comb your hair smoothly, [***] will want you to be a person, and it doesn't make people laugh and drop their jaws! You didn't leave your job without pay to become self-employed, I delayed you, do you have any emotional intelligence! You don't even recognize all the small commodities on Hanzheng Street, and you don't know where the door of Yiwu commodity world opens, so you will fall pies from the sky, think about beautiful things, and become a 10,000-yuan household, which makes people sour and crooked their noses! I'll lend you a book to read, it's you who lie in my room like a bedbug all day long, and you can't get rid of the sand! I'll take you to visit and study, it's you who stick to the back of my ass like a slug all year round, and you can't blow the sand! Do you really think that I will appreciate your talent and look down on your three-legged cat paintings, and I didn't return them to you without even looking at them? It's hard for you to think of me and you as a natural pair, a pair of real estate! You don't look at yourself in the mirror, just your poor and sour appearance of three-penny soy sauce and two-penny vinegar, you can't be literate, you can't be martial, and you can't tarnish my reputation! You don't fall into the well, whimsical! It's raining and the ground is slipping, each falling to its own climb, I owe you, I will compensate you! If you want to play any tricks on this, what kind of cunning you play, I advise you, don't even think about it, my iron threshold is not something that people like you can enter! ”

Du Ruo was stunned, his blood turned into ice coal, and a little of his face was lost, as if he was pulled out naked by someone ** in the depths of his heart, as if a fox tail hidden deep in his chest was trampled on the ground. He was stunned for a while with a sad face, as if he couldn't find the north, and only half a day later reached out to lift the toolbox that Ren Yan was sitting under his buttocks, "Okay, you are generous, you can afford to put it down, I sell coffins in the pharmacy - it's not a kind eye!" Why don't you go, go back to the city, my temple can't hold your big god, and I can't put your big egg in the sparrow's nest! I haven't seen you for so many years, I haven't been wrong! ”

Ren Yan was flustered for a moment, like a frightened bird clutching the toolbox, the desolation of being humiliated in front of her made her face suddenly turn as white as death, she trembled and shed tears of humiliation and pain, and choked up consciously, "I...... That was not what I meant! ”

"Are you going to get out of the way!" Du Ruo's face was furious, and his eyes shone in the anger of happiness and revenge.

Ren Yanli felt that her heart was tightened by pain, and she couldn't shiver by herself, and the hostility and unwilling spirit of resistance in her subconscious made her smile coldly with contempt, restrained the fear and fear in her heart, and slapped Du Ruo's face as ruthless as a jackal and stupid as a pig and sheep.

Du Ruo was taken aback, Zhang Huang took a step back in a daze, and then jumped forward again, with a gloomy and calm face, and a hostile gaze pressed on her face, hoping to punch her face all over the place. Ren Yan cried "wow", and fell on the toolkit in horror, her cheeks twitched with grief and pain, and her black hair was messed up in the evening breeze, "Forgive me, I really didn't mean to!" ”

Du Ruo hated her for a while, his cheeks were biting loudly, and the visible shame and anger were fiercely entangled on his face, he wanted to beat her hard, and he wanted to brush her away. However, looking at Ren Yan's pretended Chu Chu pitiful appearance and a hoarse sobbing voice, Du Ruo couldn't help but let out a long sigh, let go of his clenched fists, and his mind suddenly fell to the point of incorrigibility, "Don't cry, go back, even if I overtalked and rubbed salt on your wounds, I'm sorry for you, it's not okay!" (To be continued.) )
