Outside the window, the trees are flying backwards, the rhythmic sound of the train is coming out, and in the distance are endless fields, high and wide, all of which are scenery that cannot be seen in the city.

In the end, it was the first time to go out as an adult, Xiaoxue curiously lay on the edge of the window and watched, and the sadness was soon replaced by excitement, she kept pointing outside and asking questions, like an ignorant child, Liu Ziguang explained to her with a smile, it was really a bit of an elder.

In the late summer and early autumn season, it was dark late, although it was already evening, the scenery on the field was still clearly visible, the field houses in the distance, the farmers who returned to the herds, the agricultural vehicles driving on the country roads, the geese in the ponds, and the unique family planning slogans on the walls of the farmhouses along the railway, etc., everything was so fresh, so interesting, before you knew it was dinner time, the conductor pushed the trolley from the aisle and shouted and passed by, Liu Ziguang planned to buy two lunches, asked the price, twenty-five and five boxes, and then looked at the light snow, The head has shaken into a rattle.

"It's too expensive, uncle, I brought food." Xiaoxue said, taking out two aluminum lunch boxes from her bag, which contained the lunch boxes she made herself, white rice and various stir-fried vegetables together, the colors were bright and fragrant, which made people appetizing.

Just as he was about to start, the door of the box was opened, and a middle-aged man with his luggage dragged in both hands, and he still had a ticket in his mouth, he looked at the aluminum number plate on the bunk, and then took the ticket from his mouth and glanced at it, wiped the stinky sweat on his forehead, and smiled: "This is it." ”

The newcomer put away the luggage, sat on his bunk, enthusiastically took out a cigarette and asked Liu Ziguang to smoke, Liu Ziguang pointed to the non-smoking sign posted on the carriage, he smiled honestly, put away the cigarette, took out a small bottle of Erguotou, ham sausage, vacuum-packed chicken feet, braised eggs, peanuts, and greeted very politely: "Come, eat." ”

"Thanks, bring it." Liu Ziguang politely refused.

The middle-aged man smiled, unscrewed the small wine bottle and drank it himself, chatting while drinking, a god from all over the world, it didn't take much effort to make Xiaoxue giggle, he also took out his business card and handed it to the two, sure enough, it was a salesman of a township enterprise in Northeast China.

"Brother, you got married early enough, and the children are so old." The middle-aged man sighed.

"Am I so old? This is my niece, and I send her to college. ”

"Hehe, which university?"

"Beiqing University."

"Ouch, that's the best university in China, tsk, congratulations, I have to have a drink for this."

Saying that, he took out another bottle of Erguotou from his bag, and he had to invite Liu Ziguang to drink it, seeing that he looked familiar, Liu Ziguang couldn't refuse, so he accompanied him to drink two cups.

The sky gradually darkened, when the conductor came in to change the sleeper ticket, he brought in a woman who temporarily made up the sleeper ticket, the woman dressed up, wearing sunglasses, pulling a 1V suitcase, chewing gum in her mouth, a county master's posture, seeing her come in, the middle-aged salesman's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, the woman was very arrogant and ignored anyone, sat down on the bunk, took out a bottle of nutrition express and unscrewed it on the small table, put on headphones and began to listen to songs.

After dinner, the conductor changed the sleeper ticket and turned off the headlights, only the warm and dim night lights were on in the train, the sky outside the window was already completely dark, and the wheels and tracks collided with a monotonous and boring sound, which made people sleep.

Xiaoxue and clothes climbed to the top bunk, there are outsiders present she doesn't like to talk much, with a vision for the future and apprehension fell asleep, when I woke up, the train has traveled to the territory of Hebei Province, and then 100 kilometers into Beijing, and the same box salesman and female passengers, no longer know which station to get off, the toilet door at the end of the train is full of passengers waiting to wash, fortunately the soft sleeper car is less people, if it is a hard seat car, I am afraid that I can't wait until the destination.

After washing, tidying up clothes and luggage, and then looking at the scenery outside the window, there is already a feeling of the north, the mobile phone also received a text message from the movement, the train drove slowly, and actually stopped, the train broadcast explained that it was a temporary stop, so that everyone waited patiently, after more than ten minutes, after a * white bullet train and harmony, this ordinary express train continued to start.

It's all very big, from entering the edge of the city, it took half an hour to finally enter the station, looking at the bustling metropolis scene outside the window, Xiaoxue was a little stupid: "Here...... Is that all? ”

It's all here, after the train stopped, the passengers got off one after another with their luggage, the crowds were surging outside, a large area of dense black pressure was full of people, the railway station with a grid structure was huge, magnificent and extraordinary, Xiaoxue was at a loss, and pulled Liu Ziguang tightly for fear of losing it, the two of them followed the flow of people with their luggage to the exit of the station, at this time they were still in the darkness before dawn, the sky could vaguely see the morning star, the square in front of the station was full of people, the police car was parked in the corner, and the heavily armed police were standing aside with the police dog, vigilantly watched the travelers from all over the country.

Liu Ziguang has only been here once in ten years, his memory has long been blurred, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking over, with a beating double ponytail, a slender waist, and a cute smile like a little girl, which was the summer night of the daughter of Teacher Chen of No. 1 Middle School.

"Xiaoxue, Uncle Liu, I welcome you on behalf of the people." Xia Ye generously stretched out his hand, shook hands with the two, saw the other party's somewhat shocked expression, and said proudly: "My father informed me to come to pick you up, I know that you don't know the way, come with me." ”

The three of them went straight to the subway station, all the security is good, take the subway and go through the security gate to see through the luggage, fortunately there are not many passengers in the early morning, basically there are seats, Xiaoxue is the first time to take the subway, look at everything, look here, look there, but do not ask, but to see what others do, how to do themselves, Liu Ziguang looked in his eyes, and understood in his heart that this child's self-esteem is still quite strong.

Xia Ye introduced: "Recently, it is the peak period for new students, and there are reception staff at the entrance of the train station, but it takes a while to take the school bus, so it is better to take this opportunity to take the subway and taste the customs of the city." ”

After getting off the subway, I took a taxi to Xia Ye's home, which is a rental house in the dormitory area of the university, an old building in the 80s, with narrow aisles, messy rooms, paintbrushes and canvases everywhere, leftover instant noodle bowls and empty Coke bottles, and the ashtray on the table is full of cigarette butts, which is shocking.

"Sister Night, you live here?" Xiaoxue said in astonishment, covering her mouth with her hand with an expression of disbelief.

"No way, it's too busy." Summer Night shrugged her shoulders and said nothing, but looking at her cute and pure appearance, she couldn't connect with this messy room at all.

"Make do, take the train overnight, take a shower, change your clothes, eat something, and then I'll take you to school."

Xiaoxue took a change of clothes and went to take a bath, and Xia Ye also advised: "The red one is for washing hair, the green one is for bathing, and the white one is for protecting the element, don't make a mistake." ”

Xiaoxue said yes and went into the bathroom, leaving Liu Ziguang and Xia Ye outside.

"Uncle Liu, are you sitting here reading a book, or are you going to buy breakfast with me?" Summer Night asked very familiarly.

Liu Ziguang saw that the whole wall was full of books, so he said, "I'd better stay and read." ”

"Hehe, look slowly, there are a lot of my works in it." Summer night squeezed my eyes and went out with my shopping bag.

Liu Ziguang walked to the bookshelf to browse, don't look at the irregularity of the summer night life, the bookshelf is meticulously organized, all kinds of books are classified, some valuable classics are also wrapped in kraft covers, most of them are books related to her art major, some of which are her comic works.

casually pulled out a thin booklet, the cover is a heavy black and red background, and the top four very imposing characters: Liu Ziguang in the orange and red era curiously opened the title page, which reads the following preface: This is a man's book, and it stirs the sensitive nerves of bloody men everywhere and all the time. When you hold this book in your hand, you will find yourself entering another world, a world of men who are full of blood and impulse.

Liu Ziguang was in awe, and then flipped down, but he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that this comic book was actually based on Jiangbei City as the background, with the heroes of Gaotupo as the prototype of the youth and blood comics, the summer night with delicate brushwork outlined a group of young people at the bottom of the society who were full of leaks and points of how to struggle.

I have to say that Xia Ye's painting skills and screenwriting ability are not covered, flipping through the comics, Liu Ziguang found the feeling when he watched "City Hunter" in junior high school, the more he watched it, the more interesting he felt, and he smiled when he saw the interesting place, and sighed that this girl in Xia Ye can really break blind, and she painted herself as Chen Haonan.

It didn't take much effort, Xia Ye carried the pancakes and bean juice rubber rings upstairs, tired and panting, put things on the table, and sighed: "People are wondering when they see me, I haven't seen me appear so early for a few years, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some casually, there are all special breakfasts, and there are regular ones, you are fine." ”

Xiaoxue happened to take a shower and came out of the bathroom, wet and long, white and red, delicate skin that can be broken by blowing, and a white dress, which made Xia Ye look stupid: "Oh Xiaoxue, don't move!" ”

As he spoke, he turned over the DSLR camera from a pile of waste paper, crackled and took more than a dozen photos, and then said with satisfaction: "There is material again, you won't object to me taking you as the prototype of the next book." ”

"Hehe, what Sister Suiye means."

"I'm against it." A voice rang out.

Xia Ye turned his head to look at Liu Ziguang, and then saw the comic book he was holding in his hand, and suddenly understood: "I declare, this story is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is absolutely a coincidence." ”

"This is too outrageous coincidence, shouldn't you give me some royalties?" Liu Ziguang joked.

"Alas, I have a headache when I say this, this set of books has hit the street, the yard is only a hundred thousand, the publishing house is complaining to death, and it has not been settled with me until now, this attempt on the theme of youth and blood, I am a complete failure." Xia Ye took the comic book from Liu Ziguang's hand, flipped through it casually and threw it into the waste paper heap.

"Why, why don't young people nowadays like to watch stories of bloody men, they have to watch **, watch lesbian ......" Xia Ye said dejectedly.
