Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Starry Night
Looking up at Ling Getai, Chunguang had already passed three points.
Overlapping times of rivers and mountains**. The wind and flowers are flying, and the smoke falls without a trace.
It's been a sad year, and the old hatred still exists.
Qing Sorrow is full of opinions, but he should be grass under the stage, and he does not understand the memory of Wang Sun.
Sitting on the plane back to Beijing, I looked out the porthole and saw the plane flying above the white clouds. Ever since I was a child, I fantasized that one day I would sit on an airplane, and at that time, no one around me had ever flown on an airplane, and I always felt that it was an unattainable luxury, and my heart was full of infinite longing for the arrival of this day.
Although it was my first time flying, I didn't feel the slightest excitement or freshness in this situation, because my mind wasn't here at all.
I was worried about Sister Xu Yang, who didn't know what was going on, and I felt a little sorry for Jiang Tingting. She was a girl, thousands of miles away, and followed me into the mountains, but I couldn't bring her back as I had done when I came.
I don't know if she will go home directly from here, or if she will return to the capital with Xue Yuping first. Hey, I can't care so much at the moment, it's important to go to see Sister Xu Yang first. Anyway, the money left behind is enough for her to fly home, and I hope Cao Yu can help me arrange all this.
***
I was taken aback when I heard that it was Du Yunruo's voice, if there were no special circumstances, she would not have called me.
"Xiaoyu, come here. Xu Yang had an accident. "When it got here, she didn't have any explanation and just threw this bombshell at me.
"Sister Xu Yang, how come?" Thoughts crossed my mind, almost yelling, "What happened? ”
I was supposed to answer the phone while flashing, and when I heard me roaring like this, Cao Yu and the two girls who were laughing on the side were shocked. I don't know why I suddenly became like this, but I looked at me with my mouth wide open, and the words on my lips were stuck.
Du Yunruo cried: "She had a car accident at noon, and she is still in the hospital." People who have a relationship with her family, I know your phone number alone, I have already called you for an afternoon, you can come and see what to do. ”
"Where are you now?"
"Transferred to the Second Emergency Center."
"Okay, I'll get over as soon as I can." My heart was in a twitch, and I didn't care that I was in the depths of the mountain, and said categorically.
Du Yunruo was in a hurry, and when he heard my words, he had already hung up the phone. I held my phone and stayed in the local area, my mind in a mess.
Cao Yu came over and pulled me, and I shook my hand impatiently, "What are you doing!" "By this time my eyes were red from bloodshot.
Jiang Tingting gently stroked my back: "Yicheng, what's wrong, you can say it, don't scare us." ”
I looked back and saw Jiang Tingting's eyes full of concern. "I have to rush back immediately, Sister Xu Yang has an accident."
After speaking, he rushed into the courtyard without looking back, walked to the east room, opened his bag, and took out his wallet.
At this time, the old and young of the Cao family ran over, and Cao Lei saw several people following noisily and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Sister Xu Yang has an accident, I must rush back to school immediately."
"But--?" Cao Yu felt very embarrassed. It's already evening, and in their home, not to mention the inconvenient transportation, even if they rush to the county seat, there is no possibility of any more traffic.
"Nothing, Xiaoyu. Da Lei, you prepare the donkey cart, send Yicheng to the county seat overnight, and take the earliest shuttle bus tomorrow. Yicheng, hurry up and prepare, this is already the fastest we can do. Uncle Cao interrupted his youngest son.
"Okay." The Cao brothers all agreed in unison, and Cao Yu was also worried about safety, and it was still dangerous to walk at night on such a mountain road.
It was in this dark night that I set off on Cao Lei's donkey cart. Explain to Cao Yu that you must send Jiang Tingting and Xue Yuping away, Cao Yu nodded vigorously to reassure me.
The accident happened, so that everyone was not a little mentally prepared. Ruobing was very reluctant to leave me suddenly, but she was really a sensible child, and she knew that the situation must be very serious, so she just watched silently, only a sadness that did not match her age was revealed in her eyes. She didn't know who the problem was, but she was silently sorry for me with the mind of a little girl.
"Ruobing, don't be sad, come, give my brother a smile. I'll be waiting for you to play at school. "A child like this can't let her experience sadness too early.
Ruo Bing nodded, stubbornly did not speak, but tears rolled in his eyes.
turned around and said goodbye to Uncle Cao and his wife, forced a smile, everything is only related to me, of course, I should be alone. The sister-in-law has been preparing everything for her husband, and she keeps telling him to be careful when driving, but there is only worry in her eyes and no hesitation. I also understand that there is danger, but at this time, there is no other way but to let Brother Cao Lei come to work hard.
Cao Yu brought a coat to the eldest brother, and brought a quilt and threw it on the car.
The car was not far away, and the sound of running followed behind, and when I looked back, Cao Yu and the two girls chased after me again. Before I could ask, Jiang Tingting had already rushed over and climbed into the car as soon as Cao Lei stopped.
I looked at Cao Yu, and he shook his head at me. Jiang Tingting said: "You don't have to look at him, I want to go with you." ”
"Tingting, what a lot of fun! I'm in a hurry right now, you can settle everything down and go back. ”
"Nope." Jiang Tingting showed a rare resoluteness: "I won't go back with you, but I'm going to accompany you tonight, how can you rest assured that you are depressed." I'll come back tomorrow with Brother Cao Lei. ”
Look at Cao Yu and Xue Yuping standing behind, neither of them spoke, Jiang Tingting's words moved them very much, and gave me the understanding that if it was them, it would be like this, I nodded, and said to Brother Cao Lei: "Big brother, let's go." ”
The mountain road at night was extremely difficult, and Cao Lei focused on driving the car, looking cautious. The weather is gloomy and the visibility is low, and if you are not careful, there is a possibility of accidents.
My eyes were in a daze, thinking about Sister Xu Yang, who was uncertain about her life and death, and she was in a hurry on the phone at that time, and I didn't know what kind of situation she was hurt. Jiang Tingting hugged one of my arms tightly, her eyes kept staring at me, and her concern was self-evident. The howling mountain wind, the screams of birds and beasts, she didn't care.
On the lonely mountain road, the sound of donkey hooves sounded. At the turning point of the line, a strong wind blew, and the mountain breeze at night was so cool, I felt that I was being blown down, and Jiang Tingting's body trembled even more.
looked at her with pity, her thin body looked extremely thin, and her small eyes looked exceptionally bright in this night. Gently pulling the quilt and putting it on her shoulder, Jiang Tingting shrunk and disappeared into the big quilt.
I gently hugged her through the quilt, and Jiang Tingting pulled me: "Yicheng, you can come in too." ”
I was speechless, Jiang Tingting stretched out the quilt and wrapped me in. The little body trembled a little, and my heart was thrilled, and I hugged her into my arms.
She cowered back and snuggled up to me without a word.
"Tingting, thank you."
Jiang Tingting raised her head, looked at it, put her hands around my neck, and through her clothes, her body gradually became hotter: "Yicheng, I'm really worried about you." ”
In this night, the emptiness of the mountains is extremely lonely. Three people and one donkey are extraordinarily small, and people are more likely to get close. Cao Lei in front didn't say a word, but I hugged Jiang Tingting tightly in my arms.
I admire her very much, a petite girl, but at this time she shows extraordinary courage. In this night, in this dark night, I am not used to bumps, but I am indomitable to accompany me.
A sad atmosphere was permeating, and I whispered in her ear: "Tingting, I really can't imagine that you are the little girl who was scared by a fake wolf." ”
Jiang Tingting reached out and pounded my chest and said, "I hate it." ”
Seeing that my spirit was a little recovered, and I made a joke, Jiang Tingting was a lot relieved, leaned her body towards me, and her eyes were a little confused. Not far further, he fell asleep in my arms.
Her white, almost transparent face, right on my shoulder, seemed to be blown up, and her sleeping expression was as lovely as an angel.
Thinking about the past few days, the almost dreamlike years in the mountains, I don't want to end in such a hurry, and I don't even have a chance to dream. The most impressive thing is the lovely Jiang Tingting, her daughters are all bones made of water, but such beautiful girls have been met by me, I am really fortunate to be born with Yu Yicheng.
Seeing that Jiang Tingting slept very sweetly, her long eyelashes completely covered her eyes, the expression on her face was also uncertain, and the sound of subtle breathing came into her ears.
Even in my dreams, I would never have imagined that one day I would be lying on a cart pulled by a donkey with a beautiful girl, covered with the same big quilt, driving on a rugged mountain road. Modern people can have this kind of opportunity, but I am afraid that there is no one in ten thousand, and Jiang Tingting would not have thought of it, but she would still be able to sleep so sweetly at such a time.
He poked his mouth out and dipped it lightly on his pink face. Jiang Tingting seemed to move in her sleep, and I was so frightened that I hurried away. Seeing that she slept so soundly, I was faintly jealous, because I had no sleep at all.
Let her lie down more comfortably, pull the quilt under her chin, and I fell into deep thought again: Sister Xu Yang, how are you?
The donkey cart walked slowly, Jiang Tingting was sleeping soundly, and Brother Cao Lei was still wearing a coat and sitting in front of the car. If you don't experience it yourself, you won't see the enthusiasm, sincerity, and small favors of the mountain people, and they will give their all in return.
"Brother Lei, I'm tired."
"And when you sleep. It's okay, the people in the mountains are used to suffering, if you are blind, go to sleep. ”
"I can't sleep, so let's talk."
"Okay, tell me about college. Going to college is something I've dreamed of since I was a kid. Cao Lei's voice was full of regret.
"Okay." I tell the story of what happened in college. Cao Lei listened carefully and expressed his opinions from time to time. It can be heard that going to college is indeed his lingering dream.
In this way, I relaxed a little, and at dawn, the donkey cart came to the open space of the station and saw a few dilapidated houses in a corner.
"Let's just wait in the car for a while, it will take a while to get someone." Cao Lei said.
I nodded, and gently covered Jiang Tingting with a quilt. I didn't want to, but I woke her up, but when the car stopped, she already felt it, sat up all of a sudden, rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked around, and asked, "Have you arrived?" ”
A lazy appearance, which is regrettable. "It's here, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
"Nope." She struggled to keep her eyes open. Seeing that she woke up, Brother Cao Lei stopped talking to me, leaned on the wheel, and squinted.
"I fell asleep before I knew it." After waking up, knowing that she had slept in my arms all the way, Jiang Tingting's face turned red. Fortunately, the time is still early, and I can't see it clearly, or I'm even more embarrassed.
"Tingting, are you here to be with me, or are you looking for a place to sleep?"
"Annoying, people care about you. But I accidentally fell asleep, stingy. Having said that, he stretched out a hand and gently rubbed my arm, and along the way, the whole numbness was almost lost.
At this time, I saw a smile on the corner of Brother Cao Lei's mouth, and understood that this guy was pretending, and he didn't dare to joke anymore, so he nodded his chin at the "coachman", Jiang Tingting stuck out her tongue and grinned.
I told her what happened after I left, took out a card from her wallet, told her the password, and told her to withdraw some money and keep it for flowers, because I brought all the cash with me, and specially asked her to remember to leave some for Ruobing.
Jiang Tingting didn't shirk, took the card, and deliberately pouted at me, "You are always so good to other girls." ”
I smiled: "What, am I bad for you?" Her face flushed, and she was silent.
In fact, Jiang Tingting and Xue Yuping should have enough money, neither of them is the one who is short of money, I left the money, thinking that if I want, they can also fly back, because I have decided to take a plane myself, only in this way can I rush back as soon as possible.
Jiang Tingting did this, she looked very beautiful, at least it made me feel very relaxed psychologically, if she refused, it would only make me feel more guilty.
Finally the car came, Brother Cao Lei and Jiang Tingting sent me to the car, Jiang Tingting handed me a bag, "This is all I eat, you can take it with you on the road." ”
I took it and didn't say thank you, just nodded. Jiang Tingting seemed to be quite satisfied with my performance, and carried me to the car with my things, while Brother Cao Lei waited below.
Jiang Tingting suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered: "I dreamed of a wolf again last night, and I gnawed my face." After saying that, he laughed and jumped out of the car.
I can't imagine that when I kissed her secretly yesterday, she was actually pretending to be asleep, pretending not to feel it at the time, but she knew everything. This elf-like girl, with such an unexpected blow, threw all the baggage to me at once. In fact, the most important thing is that she added a little relaxation to my nervous mood.
***
After several rounds, I sat on the plane back to Beijing. Through the porthole, look at the sea of clouds. The airplane gives the impression that it is gliding on dense clouds, and there is an unreal sense of groundedness.
I have imagined the feeling of sitting on an airplane countless times, but when I really came, I was deeply frightened in this kind of floating.
Not for anything else, just for Sister Xu Yang, whose life and death are uncertain. How I wish it was just an April Fool's joke by Sister Yun Ruo, I wouldn't blame her. But I hope what she said is true, Sister Xu Yang is at least still in the rescue now, and there is still a chance to survive, not a ridiculous idea that I have thought about thousands of times in my heart, but I dare not touch.
I only pray for God's blessing, my lovely Sister Xu Yang must remember to cherish all things in the world, she is beautiful like a peony flower that is gradually blooming, and there are many beautiful things waiting for her to try.
There are family members who love her, friends who love her, and of course me.
Terrible thoughts are like a greedy monster that eats away at my heart. If -- just in case -- the lovely Sister Xu Yang is really separated from me forever --
My heart really hurts.
