Chapter 7: The Maze

It's all gone, it's all over.

When Du Ruo walked out of the station, the twilight had already shrouded in all directions, and the neon lights on the huge advertisements in the square in front of the station were reflected on both sides of the street, and the lights of thousands of homes gradually burst out. This road is still so familiar, street lights, islands, vehicles, pedestrians, twilight clouds in the middle of the sky leisurely fluttering, no more than the mountains, piece by piece, wisps, floating over the peaks, disappearing. A few years ago, how many days and nights, he often walked like this, through the absurd years of pursuing love, and through the good times of pursuing art. The mountain path is still quieter than this, the branches of the trees are swaying in the wind, the candles of the village are swaying, and the trembling sound of the crickets dragging broken glass whispers in the fluffy and shallow grass, and there is often no one for three or five miles......

β€”β€”Look at the appearance, look at the appearance, to know the rich and the poor, the good and the bad in life, please look at the phase!

- Little brother, I see that your forehead is square and broad, and you will be glorious, and your hair is sparse and moist, and you are wise and intelligent. Look at the little brother's slender and spirited eyes, the eyebrows are delicate and bright, and the little brother's complexion is bright and slightly red and yellow, this noble eater is also; However, seeing that the little brother's eyes are not crying and watery, and his heart is carefree and his eyebrows are shrinking, it must be difficult for people to get along, and if he is late, he will suffer a lot of misfortune first; Look at the little brother's five stars and six yao, the eye is the two rivers of the four sales, the mouth is the official sea of Baina, the little brother's eyes are blessed, the mouth and eyes are very comparable, auspicious, auspicious!

Du Ruo left the station leisurely, swaying on Jiangcheng Avenue like a drunk. Looking at the streets of flowers here and there, the sea of lights, the tide of people in front of and behind you, the night scene, the lost, like a withered leaf in the late autumn woods in the mountains, involuntarily flying with the wind......

- Who are you talking about, Du Ruo! I've heard of it, isn't it the amateur painter in the line work area who has a little arrogance in his eyes and walks on one foot and one foot on the ground? Alas, I heard that I married a daughter-in-law in the city two years ago, and then I was confused, playing black humor, saying that his daughter-in-law came to the mountains to seek death, not his wife, and was stunned by the good people and divorced. This time, he said that he married a beautiful girl in the mountains, who knew that he was confused again, and actually used the girl as a model, and painted a [***] girl on a landscape painting, and at that time, people from the road bureau said that his painting was immoral, and it was a debauched and sensual [***]. Alas, later I heard that the painting was also burned, and the girl also married someone else! Hey, do you know wow, he said that he is now nervous all day long, and he is no longer in class, and he is wandering around like crazy, and the work area has sent people to look for it several times, but he doesn't know where he has gone. Alas, maybe it's really nerves!

I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy all day long. No, I'm not crazy, he said that there is a man named Du Ruo who is crazy! Du Ruo painted a [***] painting with a landscape, and that painting was immoral. I've also painted it, my painting is called "Girl by the Stream", but it's not immoral, it's a natural vitality that manifests itself in the subtle changes of rapidly changing colors! It is the beauty of life, the beauty of the spiritual surname, and the beauty of the vast nature. Yo, that's not right! I'm Du Ruo! He said that Du Ruo was wandering around like crazy, didn't I go to Jiangcheng again! I'm insane, and hopelessly insane!

"Silly, look what, I don't know you!"

It was a sunny day in summer and July. The heat is like a thick white curtain covering the green mountains and yellow railway lines, the sullen dust flying in the sky obstructs people's breathing, and from time to time there are a few birds with shiny feathers on the gray-brown cliffs on the side of the mountain, hiding in the sparse bushes with low branches, and the brown grass that runs along the river is about to break off its stems, and again and again struggles to lower the palm-shaped branches and leaves to the water.

Du Ruo patrolled the road all morning, people were like pancakes on a hot pan, sweat was squeezed out little by little, and the sound of occasional shouting, as if the throat was being scalded, and the rare bird song of the mountains, and the roar of the distant train, a deformed filth in the dazzling white light......

Du Ruo walked out of a culvert and suddenly saw a girl on the railway line in front of him grazing cattle and picking something on the roadbed. Du Ruo was startled, hurriedly opened his clothes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and ran over panting. When the girl saw someone coming, she hurriedly dropped what she was holding, lowered her head, shouted at the herd, and ran to the green forest on the other side of the road. When Du Ruo saw it, it turned out to be a waste newspaper, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Du Ruo saw the girl standing under a tree in shame, looking panicked, the sun shining mottled on her through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkling countless beautiful lights and shadows. Du Ruo's heart moved, and the words that wanted to reprimand her with an old face came to her mouth and swallowed back.

The girl blushed timidly, a few wisps of shyness lingered between her eyebrows, and after listening to it for half a day, she didn't move, and unconsciously peeked at Du Ruo with her clear and suspicious eyes, and in an instant, two red clouds surged to the root of her ears, and she couldn't help pursing her lips, and hurriedly turned around, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Du Ruo only felt a wild beat in his heart, as if he had sounded Hong Zhong Da Lu, who had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and a look of surprise, joy, and ups and downs of thought suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at the girl for a moment. Spring goes to autumn, cold and summer festivals, Du Ruoshao said that he has also walked on this railway line for nearly ten years, several families in the villages along the line are crying, and a few birds are coming, which has not brought a little gloomy interest to his lonely mountain years, leaving some anecdotes. However, I have never seen such a beautiful and innocent girl in front of me!

Du Ruo took a step back, his eyebrows gathered with all kinds of emotion, as if he had gone through a difficult trek on the rugged road of love in the past, and now he had finally found the destination of love, his heart was suddenly filled with too much comfort and infinite satisfaction, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, dissipating the flush on his face due to excitement, and looked at the girl very carefully with a calm and straightforward gaze: In the dazzling and blazing light of Xia Yue, the girl was very funny wearing a yellow straw hat with four brims, and her hair was curled up into a very special styleThe girl is wearing a short-sleeved gown that is obviously a little narrow, and the neckline is also ingeniously embroidered with two small white flowers, looking like two fluttering pink butterflies from afar, the girl's lower body is a light green pleated skirt, rough fabric, exquisite workmanship, but it seems to be cut according to the technology on the sewing book, and the girl's face is like a beautiful lotus flower in the sunset, and the curved thin eyebrows are spread out on the smooth forehead like a silver swallow spreading its wings, Two slender eyelashes cover a pair of black and white eyes, solemn and calm when gathering, looking forward to brilliance when smiling, a little red lips like lotus heart spit ears, a faint pear vortex looming on the lotus petal-like cheeks, and there is a little bit like a mole in the depths of the lotus petals, which makes the whole face more pretty, charming, and full of proud beauty!

"Hey, I'm talking to you, you're so distracted!"

Du Ruo hurriedly grinned. "Alas, you can't even laugh, it's ugly!" The girl snorted, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth like braided shells. Du Ruo suddenly felt a burst of redness on his face, tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, and walked off the roadbed casually, "You must not have read a book!" ”

"Who said that, I just graduated from high school!" The girl glanced at Du Ruo and pursed her lips proudly.

"Ho, future college students, no wonder you drove the cattle to the railway line!"

"I want you to laugh at me!" The girl frowned, a smile on her face, and a few wisps of resentment floated through her eyebrows.

"Yo, be careful, don't count if you don't get the exam, you have to ask for dates to eat in the willow tree, I'm not the same as you, it's also 'Sun Mountain is everywhere, and Xianlang is even more outside Sun Mountain', not 'Happy here, don't think about Shu!' It's very moist and comfortable! Du Ruo felt nervous in his heart, a shadow swept across his cheeks, and he tried his best to squeeze out a few wisps of smiles.

"Have you also taken the college entrance examination?" The girl smiled shyly, tilted her head slightly, and with a little sympathy for the frustrated, her eyes were playfully slanting at Du Ruo.

"No, I didn't graduate from junior high school, so I came to you as a worker!"

"Alas, I haven't graduated from junior high school yet!" The girl sighed gloomily, and a little sympathy faded from her face.

"Why, you look down on people!" Du Ruo wilted for a moment before pretending to be aggrieved and sniffling. Look at the girl's half-hearted listening to the story, the other half of her mind is concerned with her herd, and the mood seems to have listened to him with a loss, but she dodged it noncommittally, wanting to continue listening indifferently, but she didn't want to be entangled for no reason, and her unpredictable face instantly revealed several different looks. Du Ruo was even more cautious with a smile on his face as if he were walking on thin ice.

"Who looks down on you!" The girl couldn't help but smile, and her cheeks bloomed like spring flowers. Du Ruoli felt a little restraint and panic with him, and he left his chest. An indescribable feeling of perfection and satisfaction permeated his whole body like the scorching sun right now, a realistic and definite hope for some miracle, which made him suddenly feel relaxed and calm, "Hey, after talking for a long time, I still don't know what your surname is, what is your name?" The book says 'don't speak rudely, don't look at incivility', you must have read the book in a roundabout way, you haven't seen the world, and you dare not tell me your name! ”

"Why don't you dare, my name is Red Lotus, what about you?"

"I-" Du Ruo deliberately looked ashamed, itching with some kind of ardent expectation, and pretended to be unable to speak, "I'm sorry, from the mountains, surnamed Du Mingruo!" ”

"Mountain people?" The girl groaned slightly, her eyebrows raised slightly, and this layer of hesitation disappeared when she was young, and a trace of elegant smile appeared on her face, showing a little surprise and joy in her eyes, "Ha, you lied to me, I have learned the 'mountain ghost', if you are called Niu Yamao, I still believe it, how can it be called Du Ruoli!" ”

"Oops, you're so smart!" Du Ruo's face was full of spring breeze for a while, and the joy of the marriage coincidence buried in his heart gushed out, and his heart was about to burst. He immediately pretended to be a leisurely portrait of the girl's erudition, admiration, and envy, and stared at the girl's eyes with an exaggerated look, "You are the smartest and most handsome girl I have ever seen, just as you said, I am called 'Sanniu' at home, and later I learned "Chu Ci" like you, and I became a mountain ghost!" ”

"Why do you say that you haven't graduated from junior high school yet!"

"Alas, I don't want to study at the Labor University!"

The girl was overjoyed, her eyebrows fluttered and her face turned crimson, and finally she closed her palms childishly, and suddenly "giggled" and laughed loudly, the old straw hat with four brims on her head was shaken off by her violently tilted body, and her hair was immediately scattered on her thin shoulders like a waterfall, and there was a silky satin luster in the dazzling light at noon, "Ouch, I really didn't expect you to be quite a ghost!" ”

Du Ruo leaned over and picked up the grass hat, and saw that the girl's slender palm had shed a layer of skin like a thick old man, and the slender ten fingers were also swarthy, a deep sorrow that was also a fallen person at the end of the world and a faint sadness that he had met before, so that his mood couldn't help but be very gentle and confident, and he helped the girl drive the cattle across the railway line, "Hey, I said when I have time to go to our work area to play!" ”

The girl was stunned when she heard this, and a pair of delicate eyes glanced at Du Ruo quickly from under her eyelashes. Seeing Du Ruo's stupid eyes, his face was full of anticipation and eagerness, and a blush flew on his face involuntarily, and he hurriedly turned away.

"Oh, I said you didn't go to school, why did a smart person have a stupid brain, and he looked at the waste newspapers on the railway line like a serious thing, one more friend and one more way, and this little bit of communication courage to treat people is not wow!" Du Ruo's mind turned sharply, his face was hot and red, and he hurriedly suppressed the little nervousness and embarrassment that rose in his heart, and saw that the girl squinted suspiciously, and her face was hesitantly cloudy. Du Ruo's heart was relieved, and he pretended to be kind and didn't get a good retribution, and pretended to let out a long sigh.

The girl squinted at a glimpse, and her heart was even more like a deer, and she turned her crimson cheeks burned with shyness, "Lie to you, really, Qiaoyun in our wall is married in your work area, think about it, I can still not play!" ”

Du Ruoyi smiled, "Ho, we are still relatives!" ”

"you!" The girl was shy, stroked her sideburns lightly and coquettishly, snatched the bullwhip from Du Ruo's hand, shouted happily to the cows, turned around and ran out.

"Hey, will I see you next time?"

"You can come if you want, and there is no one to stop you!"

Du Ruo was overjoyed, and his mood that had been fluctuating was also calmed down happily at once, looking at the girl's graceful back in the mountains and fields in the summer, and the graceful posture and the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and the charming scenery of the valleys, constituted a particularly colorful and exquisite picture. Du Ruo sighed as relieved, the suspicion and worry on his face suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly felt that the persistence and loneliness of love in the past years, the obsession and difficult pursuit of the career, all of which were repaid at this moment, he had been watching the girl run to the slope on the other side of the mountain and disappear, looking at the smile on the bright cheeks of the girl several times, listening to the girl's Yinling voice that had been left on the verdant mountain field several times, a smile as sweet as honey, all the way from the heart to the corner of the mouth, until a long time, Then he got back on the road and patrolled the road very carefully......

Maybe you shouldn't come, maybe I shouldn't. Red Lotus, I confess, since then, I have fallen deeply in love, and you have intoxicated me with the beauty of your countenance, the innocence of your girl, and your breathtaking beauty, and I can't help myself, and I can't help myself, and I can't help myself!

"Oh, you have so many books, and you haven't graduated from junior high school, really!"

It was noon on a Sunday in the seventh month of summer. A large patch of scattered clouds shrank in the blazing heat of the noon sun, drifting on the blue and deep sky of Xia Yue, the sunlight passed through the gaps in the screen window, as if refining the mountain, shining in Du Ruo's room, although there was a clear breeze of electric fans on the four walls, the heat and sullenness were still stubborn, and the hands and feet still gave people a breathless suffocation......

"Hey, what kind of drink do you want, Gao Cheng or Jianlibao!" Du Ruo walked into the room, opened the floor fan, and pushed open the glass door on the pantry. Seeing that Honglian stepped into the room as if she was going to the city for the first time, it was endless freshness and curiosity, so she smiled happily, took out two beer glasses and put them on the long table, and beckoned Honglian to come and sit down. Honglian playfully glanced at it, a sweet smile line appeared on the corner of her lips, and she approached in three or two steps, and said, "I'm coming!" He took the drink from Du Ruo's hand, poured a small cup, and then took a small sip, and then shouted coquettishly: "Oh, it's the same as the one I drank at the same school last time!" ”

Du Ruo smiled dumbly, looking at the red lotus's demure atmosphere, the girl's innocence was fully revealed, and her mind couldn't help but be very upright and hearty, looking at the red lotus with a hot and unbearable appearance, her smooth forehead was filled with fine beads of sweat, and her sideburns were wet and sticking to the roots of her ears, and a kind of tenderness for a long time quickly spread in his heart, so he naturally went to the kitchen to pour a basin of water, took a piece of soap, wet the towel, wrung it out, and then handed it to the red lotus with both hands.

Honglian smiled at him affectionately, with a happy and slightly arrogant look on her face, she generously took the towel, wiped her face, and handed the towel to Du Ruo again.

Du Ruo suddenly smelled the fragrant smell of the fragrance of the female surname on the wet towel, his face changed suddenly, and his nostrils twitched violently involuntarily, and he peeked at Honglian who was sitting down on the couch very quietly, holding a beer glass in both hands, and taking a sip of a drink, and then a heart fell to the ground slowly, and unconsciously dragged a folding chair, across the coffee table, and sat down opposite Honglian.

Red Lotus's heart was beating wildly, she raised her eyes to look at Du Ruo in embarrassment, hurriedly lowered her eyelashes nervously, and carefully covered her knees exposed under her skirt with the hem of her skirt.

Du Ruo was slightly stunned, a trace of shame passed under his face imperceptibly, and he was busy covering his eyes, looking at the greasy calf of the red lotus exposed under the stockings, Tingting Yuli's body was tightly wrapped in a narrow and washed yellow shirt, and the white skin on the neckline was faintly white and red, like the smoke of the distant mountains, the eyebrows were lowered, showing a little nervous and fearful. Du Ruo's heart was pounding again, he stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, a long-awaited happiness and a kind of excitement that emerged in an instant, which made him scratch his mouth and sobble uneasily, and stopped talking several times, and hurriedly picked up the beer glass, took a sip as if he was serious, and then stretched out his feet and leaned straight on the folding chair. Looking at the few beautiful portraits left after the four walls were selected by Ren Yan, look at the red lotus jinghai cloth skirt, a jade uncut small jasper-like look, a small hand holding a beer glass, and black nails.

Du Ruo sighed lightly, deep in his heart, a kind of melancholy that was difficult to catch up with the urban civilization, and a kind of helplessness that could not wait for me and could not be explained, made him seem desperate and frustrated for a while, and buried his head deep in sorrow. A gentleman is poor, a master knows his fate, there are times in life that he must have, and there is no time in life to force it. Du Ruo is destined to be a bantam tiger in the mountains in this life, honestly marrying a girl in the mountains, and honestly being a road maintenance worker in the mountains, even if Du Ruo has a fierce pursuit of art and a wealth of personal aesthetic tastes, but don't forget that Du Ruo's social role cognition is just a road maintenance worker in the mountains, and those favorite hopes and most brilliant dreams are just a kind of self-absorption when he is obedient, and a kind of self-feeling good when he is frustrated. Du Ruo loves painting, has devoted nearly half of his life to the art of painting, and has cultivated outstanding aesthetic consciousness and moral sentiment in his personal living environment, but this is only an interest and hobby, and cannot build a realistic emotional basis for attracting different surnames and producing beautiful love in the process of choosing a mate, just as some people like music, some people like carving, and some people like stump bonsai. Why should people be cocooned and self-bound, set up spiritual barriers for themselves, suppress their emotions, restrain their behavior, and give up their desire for life for an ideal that cannot withstand scrutiny and an ethereal dream! Food, sex, and surname. People should be "the beauty of the body, intimate communication, harmonious purpose" and constitute the conditions for mutual love and pleasure, why bother to do anything aesthetic, conduct, socioeconomic status considerations, because all women in the world, in the city and in the mountains, are only beautiful when they arouse the desire of men's surnames, and they are not all meanings at the level of satisfying men's desires......

"Hey, it's been for you for a long time, you love to wander, and it was the same last time!"

Du Ruo was startled, and suddenly broke free from the momentary ape-like horse, and saw Hong Lianyan blushing, holding a freshly peeled apple in her hand, looking at herself with a smile. Du Ruo smiled apologetically and stood up, "Honglian, look at me, I have been confused for a day, and I don't know how to entertain you when you come to the door, do you want to watch the video, or do you want to listen to music!" ”

"I want to do it all!"

Du Ruole cracked his lips and smiled, "How is it possible?" ”

"Alas, you are so stupid!" Honglian jumped up from the sofa, and her cheerful and mischievous eyes were projected on Du Ruo's face, looking at Du Ruo's straight eyebrows and stunned eyes, a dazed and embarrassed image, and her heart was even more beautiful, "I won't watch the video and listen to the music at the same time!" ”

"Ah, so you have special abilities!" Du Ruo was busy and cheerfully complimenting her, and her expression was full of the pleasure of a hippie smile.

"Bad thing, I won't tell you!" Red Lotus smacked Du Ruo with her hand coquettishly, and the flame of joy seemed to burn her hands and dances in a moment, and her eyes were full of brilliance that made Du Ruo think about it and her eyebrows fluttered.

Du Ruoxing excitedly opened the pioneer stereo in the bookcase and the Sanyo video recorder on the long table.

Honglian listened to music for a while, watched videos for a while, and suddenly felt a bitter taste in her heart, a few wisps of grief and sadness floated on her eyebrows, looked back at Du Ruo, and sighed faintly, "Alas, I haven't watched TV or listened to music for a long time!" ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Honglian's self-pitying face, a shadow across the dream-like gentle eyes. Du Ruo only felt a wisp of pity quickly float up from the bottom of his heart, flashing in his eyes with regret, "Red Lotus, if you really like it, welcome to come and play often in the future!" ”

"Really!" Honglian turned around in surprise, but when she saw Du Ruo's affectionate and strange face, she couldn't help but turn away again, and said in an indifferent tone that she didn't believe in either, "No, I'm not coming!" ”

Du Ruo smiled, with a feeling of uncontrollable happiness, and opened the drawer in the bookcase, "Honglian, here are audio tapes and video tapes, look at it, what do you like?" ”

Honglian agreed with a "hey", immediately showed an obedient demeanor, and hurriedly approached, "Ouch, why do you have so many tapes, more than our teacher's family!" ”

Du Ruomiao smiled indescribably, "What is your teacher, a man from the lower riba, a monkey and a crown, a great college student who has read a few books, doesn't understand anything and thinks he knows everything, I am a painter, a human soul engineer who creates the art of beauty for people in the mundane life of regret, no better than your teacher!" ”

"You're a painter?" Honglian's eyes flashed curiously, and she looked at Du Ruo with a look of surprise and confusion.

"Of course, but amateurish!"

Honglian smiled "hee", covered her mouth with joy, squinted at Du Ruo, and couldn't hide her eyes exuding a funny brilliance, and bent over like willows.

"What, don't believe me?" Du Ruo fixed his mind, pretending to put the novelty on his face seriously, a long-awaited happiness poured into his heart, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles that could not be hidden.

Honglian bit her lower lip, nodded shyly, and spread out a slightly dark palm, "What you say doesn't count, take the work and look at it!" ”

Du Ruo's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but stare at the red lotus with eyes containing infinite affection, and suddenly felt that the sorrow for the time when the bosom friend was hard to find and the sigh of the soul that had been stored in his heart for a long time in the past years came to his heart together, and a few crystalline tears flashed dimly in his eyes. With a sense of grievance and humility, he pointed to the beautifully framed oil painting by the window.

Honglian "huh", walked quickly to the window under the sleeping beauty that was very brightly reflected by the hot sun of Xia Yue, her eyes were full of admiration and suspicion, but after a while, she pouted disapprovingly, and looked at Du Ruo with a leisurely and intoxicated look, covering her head and covering her head with great pride and pride, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, "Painter, don't dare to compliment, this painting is copied!" ”

Du Ruo cracked his mouth honestly, and a wave of admiration set off in his heart, and his eyes stared straight at the red lotus as if he didn't know it.

"Look at you, it's here again!" Honglian frowned unhappily, and couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust in her heart, the smile lines on her lips suddenly converged, and she rolled her eyes as bright as morning stars, stomped her feet, and puffed away.

Du Ruo smiled, blushing slightly, and turned his back to pull out a stack of well-packaged paintings inlaid with frames from the attic.

Seeing this, Red Lotus Leng Ding suddenly widened his eyes, with uncontrollable excitement and eagerness, he gently "ah", and took the paintings from Du Ruo's hands with a smile, and then placed them on the sofa and the long table one by one, the eyes that were as bright as autumn water seemed to stand in front of the master all of a sudden, sometimes rolling out the colors of admiration and relaxation, and suddenly condensed into a quiet but somewhat half-believing light, and only raised his head after a while, and his delicate cheeks were covered with layers of redness that emerged from excitement.

"How's that, it's okay!"

Honglian smiled noncommittally, and a touch of cunning passed through her lips, "You have this level, why don't you go to the city to hold an art exhibition, our teacher said that a painting will sell for a lot of money abroad!" ”

Du Ruo sighed gloomily, as if he had fallen into extreme distress all of a sudden, and suddenly sat on the sofa with a little irritability and mockery, "Alas, if I could go to the city, it would have been developed a long time ago, and as for the phoenix that has fallen into trouble like this, it is not as good as a chicken, and it is still a poor single commander!" ”

"What's the matter-" Honglian couldn't hold back her excitement, she was so angry that her voice trembled, and the smile on her face disappeared like a meteor, "People don't listen to you seriously!" ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the red lotus pouting her lips in displeasure, squinting at the picture, and kicking the pulley on the sofa with her feet intentionally or unintentionally. Du Ruo's eyes lit up, and he stood up with a smile, "Don't be like this, if I offend you, it's not okay to apologize to you!" ”

"I want you to apologize!" Honglian threw away her hair, snatched him from him in a dull tone, turned around without dissipation, and sat down on the sofa alone.

Du Ruo's face turned crimson, and he laughed dryly like a cover-up, and sat beside Honglian with a salivating face.

Honglian silently bowed her head, and felt so sorry for a while, she hurriedly dodged to the side quietly, raised her hand to sweep down the hair floating on her forehead, and then raised her resentful face, and looked at Du Ruo fixedly, "Hey, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense with me in the future, I don't like to listen!" ”

Du Ruo's face was full of shame for a moment, as if someone had poured cold water on his head, a cold air came up from his back, and his heart was full of jealousy, resentment, and hatred. It turned out that Du Ruo made a mistake again, and all the beautiful emotions and all the perfect enthusiasm would come to naught, and they were all self-inflicted. Du Ruo sighed sadly, a shadow covered his eyes, and with a look of self-deprecation and self-blame, he buried his head deep in humility.

"What's the matterβ€”" Honglian frowned, a gloomy color flashed across her face, and she couldn't help but move her body closer to Du Ruo gently and with a little seriousness, and thought slightly while lowering her neck, and then fell on Du Ruo's shoulder half coquettishly and half in disgust. Looking at Du Ruo's eyebrows locked deeply, with a melancholy and disappointed look on his face, and a few hazy teardrops in his eyes, Honglian suddenly felt a burst of guilt in her heart, and unexpectedly sprouted a few subtle and imperceptible feelings, and hurriedly pulled off the handkerchief pressed on the side of her skirt around her waist, and naturally and softly wiped up her tears for Du Ruo.

Du Ruodun shook like an electric shock, and his whole body trembled slightly in the incomparable joy, and after a moment of hesitation in his mind, he immediately felt that endless happiness surrounded him, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold the red lotus.

Honglian immediately blushed, her heart jumped like a deer, and she was busy breaking free, but when she saw Du Ruo's eyes burst out with a strange light, her face was filled with enthusiasm and affection that she had never seen before, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and she was busy fighting with her palms, covering her mouth delicately, and lying on the armrest of the sofa with joy.

Du Ruo suddenly felt a dryness in his throat, and his snort suddenly became heavy, looking at the charming appearance of the red lotus, the smiling face was still childish, the long eyelashes were shyly covered with the sheared eyes, and the unique fragrance of the girl penetrated into the nostrils. Du Ruoli felt that he was like a drowning person who had been drowning in pain for a long time, and suddenly came into contact with the edge of happiness, and the thoughts that had accumulated in his chest quickly broke the embankment, and the feelings that flooded his mind completely overwhelmed him, and he couldn't help jumping up from the sofa, and jumped up to hug the red lotus tightly to his chest.

Honglian coquettishly "hmm", panting and shaking a few times, her whole body collapsed as if she had fallen apart. After that, Du Ruo kissed the red lotus with the most beautiful demeanor and the purest feelings, affectionately and impatiently, as if every nerve fiber in the body could perceive the secret and realistic female experience of the red lotus, a soul-shocking pleasure and an indescribable physical and mental peak experience, so that he finally stopped kissing endlessly.

The red lotus lay in Du Ruo's arms with a face full of embarrassment, and a teardrop quietly overflowed the corner of her eyes, rolled over her surprisingly red cheeks, crossed her surprisingly white neck, and dripped on Du Ruo's arm that was still trembling slightly.

"Red Lotus, I love you!"

Honglian closed her eyes and shook her head, tears poured out of the corners of her eyes faster, her lips twitched, and finally she could no longer control the humiliation and sadness full of humiliation, and she didn't know whether it was anger, urgency, shame, or hatred, so she turned around and fell on Du Ruo's shoulder, and actually cried with sadness.

"Red Lotus, my dear, don't cry! I love you! Du Ruo hurriedly pulled Honglian's contracture shoulder, carried her to the bookcase, took out a few hundred-yuan tickets from the drawer, and stuffed them all into Honglian's hand with a frank and sincere heart.

Honglian glanced at it coldly, and immediately felt as if all thoughts in her heart had been frozen, and her extreme disgust and contempt shook her soul to the depths of her soul, and after a moment of stunnedness, she could barely control her emotions. She tried her best to break free, and her gloomy face was full of deep hatred and hatred. She glared at Du Ruo viciously, and with the anger that she suddenly realized that her heart had been deceived and the sorrow that she had suddenly suffered a great shame, she threw the money on the ground, stomped it with her foot a few times, and then opened the door and ran out into the bright grass outside......

I am crazy, indeed incorrigibly crazy, and the white cloud in the sky must also be crazy, so that I want to deviate from my own trajectory and float, and throw myself into the arm of another white cloud; The shadows of the trees on the side of the street, the mottled spots of light all the way, must also be crazy, and the death that swayed with the wind will be superimposed. Lose your marbles! It's all crazy! Du Ruo shook his head, took one last look at the scenery and the flow of people on the overpass in the center of the street, and walked to the street of the Provincial Art Exhibition Hall......

The storm is coming!

The sky was first a bright and shining fish scale cloud, and then there was a cloud of fog and not fog, a large black ink cloud from the side of the mountain, a long cloud belt galloped overhead, the blazing heat and the scorching heat wave of the mountain col suddenly turned into a damp and slightly windy coolness, the distant mountains were gradually covered by the clouds, the shadows around them quickly became thicker, and only ruminant cattle and low-flying swallows were still hovering leisurely in the mountains......

Du Ruo stood quietly on the mountain road, watching the red lotus wearing a cloak and driving the cattle from the mountain road, hurriedly put a package on the mountain rock on the side of the road, and then hid behind a tree with a sigh. Look at the red lotus coming to the front in a broken step, waving the bullwhip in a foreign manner, and there is still no sign of going over to get the package after half a day. Du Ruo suddenly felt ashamed, disheartened and walked out from behind the tree, looking at the red lotus humming a little song leisurely, walking past the package as if nothing had happened, and the slender body like a willow disappeared on the side of the mountain. Du Ruo was even more ashamed and indignant, swallowed his anger and took back the package, and unconsciously sat on the mountain rock again, a kind of self-blame for regret and a kind of helplessness that made him fall into deep pain again......

For nearly a month, Du Ruo came to this col almost every day, sometimes when the morning sun sprinkled countless lights and shadows from the high cliffs, the green carpet-like plains and dewdrops shone mottled in the shallow grass by the stream and the high places of the cypress on the bank, and the red lotus walked out of her low house with a basin of clothes, and left the little sisters who were chirping like a herd of in a gloomy manner, squatting down at the end of the stream far away, and her smile like a summer cuckoo could not be seen on the golden water. Sometimes when the sun sets over the towering peaks in the west, and the sunset dyes the mouth of the pass red, and the red lotus drives the cattle into the door of her own well-lit house, and the calf that is like a mountain eagle scattering joy cannot elicit her low smile, like an old cow that has taken off the reins and refuses to return to the pen cannot make her laugh as crisp as a silver bell. Du Ruo's heart was like thousands of steel knives rolling at this time, who was like him, half of his body was lying in the coffin, he had been looking forward to half his life, and he had finally looked forward to the marriage, only because of his rashness and stupidity, like rashly crushing a small flower, stupidly trampling on a small grass, crushing her girl's self-esteem, trampling on her girl's delicateness, and also turning all her dreams into powder. The back of Wanghonglian disappeared after she walked into the door, and the reckless peaks of the mountains were quiet and solemn after the clouds faded, and the cool and fresh scent of wild grass happily went straight to the nose.

Du Ruo suddenly felt that the most solemn emotion and the most vivid love came out of his chest.

Later, he rummaged through all the philosophical, aesthetic and psychological works at hand, and wrote more than a dozen enthusiastic and sworn letters to Honglian, but Honglian was still like a mud cow into the sea, and all his perfect enthusiasm was not reciprocated. If Du wants to get rid of the confinement of the wild moon in the mountains, pursue the urban lifestyle and material civilization, and be ready to give up the low-level enjoyment for the sake of high-level enjoyment, he must avoid the temptation of the surname, suppress the impulse of the surname, and exchange it with great mental effort, because human life is limited, and man's energy is not inexhaustible; It is said that love is the most tender state of mind and the most vulgar surname desire are mutually expressed, and the psychological love and physical satisfaction between lovers are the only moral standards for measuring love. The reason why Du Ruo confessed and couldn't help himself, and had a momentary physiological impulse, was the result of the accumulation of emotions in the long years of waiting, and it was the instantaneous beauty and love that caused the psychological diaphragm of the two surnames to be extinguished in the sense of knowledge and the freedom of action that was bred in a daze. Du Ruo talked about love for the first time, and within a few days of acquaintance, he had a physiological desire, which is incomprehensible, making people feel misbehaving, vulgar and boring, but who can be indifferent in front of the gentle trembling in the soul of the lover who suddenly plucked the heartstrings at the first love, and who cares about the worldly public opinion, afraid of the resistance of customs, and regards surname love as a humiliated and humiliated thing, not embarrassed or embarrassed, and nervous self-restraint, nervous and cold sweat. Therefore, please Honglian must believe in him and give him another chance, so that he can repent and reform himself and become a new person.

Du Ruo believes that their consideration of various selfish factors such as tickets, face, and position in addition to love, and is purely based on the common aesthetics and values of both parties, and love with lofty ideals and moral freedom will be the basis for beautiful love. The red lotus snow looks beautiful and beautiful, and it is beautiful in the face of nature; Du Ruo's moral articles, dignified appearance, and the beauty of the soul that integrates traditional virtues must be the evergreen tree of love, the flower of love, and the fruit of love. Who knows that the head of the red lotus elm ignores Du Ruo's logical and inevitable surname of the reality of love.

Du Ruo was sad, disappointed, and depressed. On a dying evening after dusk and the beginning of the lonely people, Du Ruo complained that Huang Ying'er was against Huang Ying'er and hated the pink butterflies in pairs, so he watched Hong Kong films to pass the unbearable time. Look at the Hong Kong brother and sister on TV who love the dark and surprisingly sincere and romantic, Du Ruo suddenly empowered and repented: it turns out that love is not only the beauty of visual perception and the aesthetic pleasure in the depths of the soul, it also needs some contradictions and barriers outside the reason, the Buddha said, 'Thirty-three days, the highest hatred from the sky, four hundred and four diseases, lovesickness is the most bitter,' once the satisfaction of ** is too easy, it will not have any beauty value at all, to make the passion of love undiminished, the flame of love will not be extinguished, and some surnames will not run in, Some customary resistance is essential. Red Lotus is dignified and pretty, smart and beautiful, a high school student with a surname and culture, the first kiss of the girl's holiness was roughly enjoyed by him, and the hazy longing for love at the beginning of a girl's love was also broken by him all at once. In the psychology of love, it is said that the kiss of the first love should be purely platonic, the embodiment of the spiritual union and connection of the lover, the intoxication of beautiful feelings and the enjoyment of pure virginity consciousness. Marx even made it clear that true love is manifested in the lover's subtle, humble and even shy attitude towards his idol, and it is by no means manifested in the casual expression of love and premature intimacy. Such sins, such shortcomings, can not be compensated for by a mere few hundred yuan, and can not be compensated by one or two obscure love letters? If Du Ruo is also like Brother Hong Kong on TV, buying some items that symbolize love and books symbolizing erudition and giving them to Red Lotus, what about the situation, after all, the enthusiasm in words and the excitement in action will only give people a false and frivolous feeling, and the most sincere words are accompanied by the most sincere actions, then all emotions will be perfect.

Du Ruo was smug for several days and never tired of it. Later, Du Ruo really searched for dry intestines, exhausted his efforts, and bought items and books for Honglian that were enough to show his elegance and knowledge, who knew that Honglian was like a god with an iron heart. Du Ruo sent the package to her from the post office, but she refused to pick it up; The Duruto people gave her the package, and she said that she had never known a man named Duruo; Du Ruo put the package on her way home like today, and gave her the noodles, but she walked by the package generously as if she didn't see it, deliberately shouting at the herd......

Du Ruo walked out of the bushes, the col was completely darkened, and there was a rumbling thunder from far and near, a strong light shone over the trees, and the dazzling lightning dragged a long band of light across the branches of the trees and disappeared. Du Ruo hurriedly picked up the package and walked under the tree, and saw the red lotus driving the cattle like a stranger, ignoring everything about him. Du Ruo drooped his head even more in frustration, suddenly stumbled under his feet, and squatted on the ground with a buttocks. Du Ruo smiled lazily, and fell into deep remorse with a smile that was more ugly than crying......

"Hey, let me tell you, when it's raining and thundering, you can't sit under a big tree, you'll be electrocuted!"

Du Ruo was startled, hurriedly raised his head, and at some point, the red lotus was already standing in front of him, Du Ruo smiled, a trace of panic flashed in his dull and godless eyes, and he quickly stood up.

Honglian pursed her lips and quietly took off the cloak she was draping on her body and put it on Du Ruo's shoulders, "Look at you, the wind and rain are blowing, why bother, I said no, you have to be like this, accept your things, and your heart will be comfortable!" ”

Du Ruo was stunned, hurriedly swept the red lotus with eager and anxious eyes, couldn't help but laugh at himself, and followed the red lotus to the open grass on the hillside, "Hey, red lotus, what have you been busy with lately?" Why don't you reply to all the letters I have written to you? ”

Honglian smiled lightly, raised her hand to wipe away the sweat sticking to her forehead with her sleeve, and squinted at Du Ruo, "Tell me yourself, how much do you know about me, and what you said to me, a few of them are your own, copy the book, and you won't be ashamed!" ”

Du Ruo let out an "ah", a sense of relief suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, he walked a few steps happily, and a fluttering feeling filled his body, "You guy, you have an opinion about me, you won't write a letter to say it, and you're a high school student, so you can't even write a letter?" ”

Honglian smiled indifferently, pouted her lips irrationally, and kicked a stone protruding on the grass with her foot, "Hey, let me tell you, don't write to me again in the future, many people in the wall are muttering jokes behind their backs, I'm still young, others are still in school and studying at my age, I can't understand the emotional life you said for a while, and it's impossible to say it's impossible, why bother!" ”

Du Ruo suddenly looked stunned as if he had been knocked out by someone, and suddenly he was poured cold water on his head, and the little joy that had just emerged was also washed away. Look at the red lotus with her head lowered, a few wisps of contrived indifference spreading on her face, while kicking the tree with her foot, intentionally or unintentionally. Du Ruo hurriedly stepped in front of Red Lotus, with an eager look that didn't believe that what Red Lotus said would be true, and looked straight at Red Lotus's endearing and dodgy eyes.

Honglian sighed slightly, her heart fluttered with fright, and she subconsciously took a step back, "Please don't do this, why do you have to be ashamed to catch ducks on the shelves, it's embarrassing for others, you don't need to beat the drum frequently, you still have to respect me!" ”

"I don't respect you anymore?" Du Ruo gasped, a desperate and unwilling look suddenly rose on his face, he grabbed Honglian's thin shoulder, his eyes flashed with a fierce and cruel cold light, "Honglian, you are too off-board, you say, when did I disrespect you!" ”

Honglian grinned her lips in pain, her heart was like a burst of stiffness that had been subdued all of a sudden, and she hurriedly used her hand to pull Du Ruo's firmly clenched hand to see if it didn't work, and twisted her body angrily, Suo let Du Ruo grasp it, and raised her head fearlessly, and a few traces of perseverance flashed in her eyes from time to time.

"Red Lotus, you have a calm conscience, stretch out your tongue and say, why is this!"

"You let go first!" Honglian looked at Du Ruo calmly, stretched out her hand to wipe away a layer of cold sweat oozing from her forehead, and saw Du Ruo throw away her hand indignantly, her pale face turned into a piece of love after a moment of contempt and indifference, and then sighed with a lot of contradictions, "Why do you have to be like this, you are a scholar, you should always know that the twisted melon is not sweet, I don't blame you for everything you have done to me, you are a very talented young man, don't worry about the road ahead without a friend, within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass, within a hundred zhang, there must be Xie Niang, why rush for a while, I don't climb high, I still want to go out to work, I'm not as good as you say, I only hate myself......" Honglian said this, and suddenly felt a desolation in her heart, a tidal teardrop clouded her eyes, she hurriedly closed her lips, twisted her face to the side, and tried her best not to let the tears roll down her eyelids.

Du Ruo's mind was extremely confused in an instant, under the double pressure of extreme frustration and heart-wrenching remorse, the words in his stomach were suffocated and had nowhere to say, he couldn't help but sigh weakly, and walked slowly in front of the red lotus, and saw that the red lotus's flowing hair was scattered behind the head by the top of the hat, the delicate and transparent body was tied up by the shabby and short clothes, and the beautiful cheeks were also due to the blazing rain in the mountains due to adulthood. Du Ruo remembered that a book said: Women are like delicate roses, and soon after the flowers bloom, they wither in a blink of an eye. The red lotus is like a small grass on a precipice, struggling in the wind and rain, and more like a small flower that is about to abandon the branches. And the outside world is wonderful, where all the cultural achievements of human beings are concentrated, there are endless paradises, there are endless fashions, and there are endless city scenery. And all this is expected for Red Lotus, that is, as long as Red Lotus can make a promise to him, not dislike his infamy, drift away for half a life, and completely attach her pure heart of a girl to Du Ruo, build a love nest with Du Ruo, and build a happy home with husbands and wives, Du Ruo will be able to be affectionate because of Red Lotus, raise his favorite hope again, and run quickly towards his most brilliant dream. And Honglian can also be the happiest bride because of Du Ruo's share of the pie, and live the most carefree and prosperous city life for the rest of her life, which is no better than staying in an ignorant and destitute mountain village, marrying a stupid man, planting a little thin land, giving birth to several sons, and wrapping a few rags in a piece of clothing to wrap up most of her life in the mountains......

Du Ruo's thoughts fluctuated for a while, and he was full of emotion, and thousands of words were blocked in his throat. Look at Honglian's cold face pretending to be free and easy with a hint of smile, the stagnant eyes reveal two sorrows, a few wisps of pretended arrogance linger on the eyebrows, completely cold and innocent, and the mood is so naked in an instant, so undisguised complaining, and a living state of wanting to cover up. Du Ruo's soul was blessed for a while, and the tension that had been troubled for a long time immediately relaxed, and a kind of pity from the bottom of his heart made him reach out his hand without feeling the mixture of love and hate, and grabbed the slender waist branch of the red lotus.

Honglian was slightly stunned, struggled in vain for a while, then turned around and lay on Du Ruo's shoulder, trying her best not to let the tears fall in her eyes, and then gushing out like a mountain spring, her whole body involuntarily trembled gently in Du Ruo's arms.

"Red Lotus, dear, you should believe me, I love you, I'm almost thirty years old, "Zhou Li" said, "Thirty men, twenty daughters, and marriage together", I will be like a hairy young man who just wants to get a little cheap on you and sprinkle some hooliganism. Do you remember, the day we first met, I wanted to love you when I saw you, and I wanted to get you in every possible way. Do you really think I'm so cheap, beating a single person without virtue and no action, just invite girls to my bedroom to play, I'm not picking up rags, you don't believe it, hum, if your brother has always been above the sky, the average girl still takes the flowers and lazy to look back. Think about it, you are so beautiful, a delicate and beautiful lotus, cultured, and virtuous, last time in your house, the egg drop water tofu you made was really delicious, I almost got drunk, and my little sister called me if my brother. What about you, you've always been oops, I'm not surnamed hey, and I'm still laughing, this time it's a little more enjoyable, but you ignore people for a month, and you don't know each other, so you have to be ruthless. Let me see if your heart is made of stone, and you frown. Red Lotus, you can't be a little kind to me, a little gentle, the girls in the city kiss with their eyes closed. You can't just learn a little bit. I really don't understand, what good is it for you to be so stubborn and can't pull eight ropes. If your brother is full of poetry and books, full of wealth, the reason why he lives in the mountains like a dog, can't get love and is not loved, and even you look down on me, is not because we are from the mountains, cheap, with black nails, and you, not like me, are not from the mountains, I still have more money to buy grain in the city than you, and if you marry me, it is equivalent to leaving the countryside for the rest of your life. You are really willing to be a mountain village woman for a lifetime like your mother, so don't you read all the books in your more than ten years to the cow's asshole. Don't be upset, I'm all about your good. Look at yourself, you're only in your early twenties this year, and this is the same age as Huaxin in the city, it's a time to decorate and dress up in a unique way, to catch up with fashion, go to the beauty salon, and try to show off your physical beauty. As for you, you don't have a single piece of good clothes, you don't have a single piece of gold jewelry, your face is tanned, and the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes are similar to those of an old woman who is almost thirty years old in the city. Red Lotus, you should also be realistic, put your pillow higher when you sleep at night, don't always think about the shortcomings of others, but also think about your own shortcomings. If it weren't for the fact that rats have holes and sparrows have nests, I really want to have a home now, and I want to have a gentle, kind, and virtuous wife. Where are you going, don't go, listen to me finish speaking, since you don't like to listen to it so much, I will ask for my surname to say it clearly. Aren't we all people in the mountains, aren't we all begging for a life in this mountain, as the saying goes: people are not close to the soil, the mountains are not good and the water is good, why can't we be happy with each other and love each other. Since I don't dislike you, I don't dislike your rural household registration, and your family is poor, then why do you need to dislike me. Don't you know what it means for a man to go high and water to a low place? No matter how bad I am, I'm better than your classmates in the mountains facing the loess with their backs to the sky! ”

"Enough!" Red Lotus turned around suddenly, her face changed, and a burst of fury covered her like a dark cloud, making her eyes dark, and she stood there pitifully, like a small grass struggling in the storm, as if her whole body was about to collapse, she tried her best not to let tears roll out of the corners of her eyes, this humiliation caused by sympathy and naivety made her bitterly disgusted with herself, "You have insulted me enough, please return the clothes to me, I'm sorry, I still have something!" ”

"I insulted you?" Du Ruo couldn't believe his eyes for a while, after a moment of stiffness, as if someone had viciously stuck his neck, an indescribable anger quickly rose in his chest, he grabbed Honglian's shoulder, his eyes seemed to erupt fire, and he glared at Honglian with a fearless sharp gaze, "You say, where did I insult you?" ”

Honglian was startled, hurriedly retreated a step, her eyes were still palpitating and looking at Du Ruo, the floodgates of feelings that had been controlled in her heart, at this time, she was suddenly broken by the surging tide of love, a chill that she had never felt before, countless sadness and grievances all came to her heart, and she fell into hysteria with sadness and resentment, "You can, you are ruthless, you have a kind, you will bully me, you go to find your city beauty, I am ugly, my nails are black, I have read all the books to the cow's asshole, my rural household registration, My family is poor, and I will stay in the countryside for the rest of my life like my mother, okay? ”

Du Ruo suddenly felt angry in his head, and looked at Honglian screaming as if she was crazy, her eyes radiated a terrifying viciousness, her lovely facial features were crowded together, and her jade-like white neck was covered with a layer of cyan veins, which looked like she was going to eat people, indescribably hideous and ugly. Du Ruo finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a long-standing violent anger rushed from his heart, causing him to raise his hand and slap Honglian's face full of tears and sweat.

The red lotus was caught off guard, her teeth bared and she was stunned like wood, her crying stopped abruptly, and a wisp of desolation quickly rose to the corner of her mouth. After that, she struggled to break free, reached out to wipe away the stained tears on her face, looked at Du Ruo with a hateful and mournful look unusually calmly, turned her back and ran out of the wild grass where the wind was still very strong on the side of the mountain......

"Red Lotusβ€”"

The storm is finally here. Boom and thunder, pouring raindrops swept all over the mountains, the trees on the slopes of the mountain, the grass on the side of the stream suddenly twisted and rolled up, the wind and sand rolled up the fallen leaves in all directions, the split surface gave people a kind of pinprick-like chill, the dense rain feet made the cows on the mountain side moo in panic, the noise of birds and birds in the forest, suddenly faded away, and the bright signal lights on the line were only a mess of chaos. The raindrops became denser and denser, the wind became tighter and tighter, and the heavens and the earth were suddenly in a sea of water and vapor......

"Red Lotus, the train is comingβ€”β€”, beware of the cows-"

Du Ruo was stupid for a while, looking at the staggering figure of the red lotus in the dense rain curtain at the foot of the mountain, there was only a blurry black dot, and the whistle of the train in the distance was about to pass through the section, and then it suddenly sounded, and the thunder above his head also exploded more violently at this time, and the lightning came again and again. The herd, which had been panicked for a long time, was frightened by the thunder and lightning and the whistle, and then they were like wild horses that had escaped their reins, and scattered all over the hillside......

Du Ruo was startled, hurriedly put his coat on his head, and ran to the foot of the mountain in one breath, and saw Honglian having fallen on the roadbed covered in water and mud, holding a cow rope tightly with both hands. A sturdy bull was holding its feet against the tracks, its bloodshot eyes full of terror and rage, and its mouth was mooing from time to time.

Du Ruo was taken aback, and a wave of incomparably terrifying emotions frantically passed through his mind, seeing that the train was approaching the mountain pass, and the strong cluster lights illuminated the line all around. Du Ruo hurriedly rushed to the roadbed and pushed the red lotus away. The bull suddenly lost his restraint, straightened his legs, and stood up, but when he saw the lights of the train coming from the splitting face, his legs were weak again, and he bent his head under his armpits in panic, and lay down on the tracks again.

Du Ruo was angry and anxious for a while, and his heart almost jumped to his throat......

Red Lotus screamed "Ah", and hugged Du Ruo from behind, pressing her face against Du Ruo's back as if she was living and dying together, and her frightened eyes were filled with excitement and remorse.

Du Ruo was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning, and he grabbed the red lotus with his backhand in confusion, and after a moment of ambiguity and despair, he suddenly became wise in a hurry, grabbed the tail of the bull tightly clamped, and while holding the lighter, the tail of the ox was firmly poked in the windshield of the lighter. The bull was in pain, mooed wildly, and suddenly opened its hind legs and jumped down the roadbed like a gust of wind. Du Ruo was kicked in the chest by the bull's jumping hind legs, and the huge tension made him involuntarily tumble a few times, and he also rolled down the roadbed with the red lotus. Looking at the steel dragon that whistled past a few seconds, Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, a violent dizziness made him fall to the ground, and saw that the red lotus fell a few meters away and then stumbled towards him, his face was full of love and grief, Du Ruo suddenly felt an unprecedented satisfaction and a kind of exhaustion that blended extreme joy, like a misty dark cloud attacking him, he actually closed his eyes and fainted......
