Today is Sunday, and the students are on vacation. Zong Jian's sudden departure, Nishino was stunned and in a bad mood. All this, good friend Tulong saw in his eyes and remembered in his heart.

Tu Long remembered that he and He Yan and Xu Xiaoqiao had made an appointment on Saturday to leave at ten o'clock in the morning on Sunday to take a walk by the river outside the school, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he put down his book and got up and said to Xiye and Yan Ling, who were casually reciting English words: "Don't look at it, today this hero will take you to a good place to relax." ”

"Where are you going? I'm going to read a book. Nishino put down his book and rubbed his eyes.

"The way of civil and martial arts, one by one, tired for a week, it's time to relax. Say, where to go? When Yan Ling heard that he was going out to play, he suddenly became interested.

"The riverside outside the school, I was there last time, and the view was great. By the way, I forgot to tell you that there were beautiful women with us. "Tulong is playing tricks.

"Beauty? It's true? It's He Yan, right? You kid want the two of us to be light bulbs for you? "Nishino's sixth sense is very keen.

"It's her, but it's not as complicated as you think. Nishino, are you going or not? If you want to go, it's time to go, and if you don't, forget it. By the way, Xu Xiaoqiao said that she would go too. Tulong was a little aggrieved.

"Who said I wouldn't go, didn't I just sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, I'll go." Xiye put down the book and pulled Yan Ling, who was sitting on the bed, up, "Let's go, let's go, don't look at it!" ”

When the three of them came to the school gate, He Yan and Xu Xiaoqiao were already waiting there, and after a few words of greeting each other, they walked slowly to the river.

The weather was very good, there were wisps of white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the sun was shining down from the clouds, shining on the body, warm. The autumn wind blows, and the river surface is flooded with small scales. The branches and leaves of the willow trees by the river have not yet fallen, and the slender willow branches gently and gently brush the water, like a shy girl who is grooming.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Nishino couldn't help but blurt out Xu Zhimo's "Farewell Kangqiao": "The golden willow on the bank of the river is the bride in the sunset; The beautiful shadow in the waves ripples in my heart. ”

"Ouch, stop reading, my toothache. Where does this sunset come from, it's obviously the sun at noon. Tulong covered his cheeks and spoke in a strange tone, as if the teeth were about to fall out.

Suddenly, Tulong's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some new world, "Bride, who is your bride?" ”

"It's really boring, this is the artistic conception, do you understand. Xu Zhimo would be angry if he heard you understand his poetry so well. Nishino replied listlessly.

"Good, good, good, I understand, this is the artistic conception, the great poet Nishino. But what I'm saying is true, it's really noon. Tulong pretended to have an extremely innocent expression, trying his best to make do with Nishino and He Yan, "This bride, I'm afraid she has something else to say." Hey, He Yan, tell me, who is the bride in his mind? It can't be far away, it's close at hand, right? ”

"Why did it happen to me again? How do I know who the bride in his heart is, it's not me anyway. He Yan's face turned red, and he hurriedly argued.

"It doesn't matter who my bride is, what matters is that someone else pretends to be tender!" Nishino's tone had a strong * flavor.

"I don't know who is pretending to be tender, someone doesn't say goodbye, he is like losing his soul, more sad than the death of a loved one at home, who can he show with a bitter melon face?" He Yan is also not a vegetarian.

"He Yan, you crow's mouth, who are you cursing? Your family just died! Nishino, who was depressed, burst into flames and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Alright, alright, don't make any noise. Let's go over there and have a look. Xu Xiaoqiao saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and hurriedly came out to play a round.

"It's really boring, it's all about showing me everywhere. People are unlucky, and they choke on cold water. Nishino picked up a large pebble and threw it at the center of the river.

"Nishino, dissipate your anger. Time is the cure for heartache, and as time passes, you will forget all about the past. The deceased is like this, reluctant to give up day and night. Yan Ling, who was walking side by side with Nishino, also threw a stone into the river, trying his best to stabilize Nishino, who was huffing and breathing.

"Hey, you two are unreasonable, as soon as you meet, you are like enemies who meet on a narrow road,-for-tat." Tulong sighed and shook his head.

So they stopped talking and walked up the riverbank, which was lined with peach trees, paved with sand and coal dust. The soft sunlight shone through the sparse leaves, leaving dappled shadows on the ground.

People walk on it and don't feel a sense of coolness. The fatigue of a week's intense study suddenly disappeared without a trace. He Yan and Xu Xiaoqiao walked in front, waving their arms excitedly like children, very happy.

"The bitter sand, the feeling of blowing the painful face, like the father's scolding, the mother's crying, will never be forgotten......" I don't know who hummed Jung Jihua's sailor.

The singing is not very beautiful, but it is very suitable for this situation. Everyone also sang along, "When I was young, I liked to be alone on the beach, rolling up my pants and stepping on the beach barefoot......"

The song echoed and reverberated over the field. Young hearts are like bundles of dry wood waiting to burn, and as long as the slightest spark bursts on them, they will burn, burn, burn, without scruples, without reservation.

How many years have passed, and Nishino still remembers it. On that autumn morning, although a group of young people had nothing, they sang their persistence, their persistence, and their infinite desire for a better future with their hearts and youthful enthusiasm.

Before they knew it, the group had reached the end of the path. There is a low embankment from which the river overflows, and a small waterfall forms on the dam surface. Several young men hurriedly stripped off their shoes and socks and walked up and down the dam face, giggling and splashing with their hands.

"There's a boat over there, let's go over there?" He Yan shouted excitedly as he ran towards the front of the dam.

Nishino and the others looked forward in the direction He Yan ran, and found that under a thick and crooked willow stump on the shore, there was indeed a small boat tied to it, so everyone ran over together.

"Look, look, this ship is unlocked." He Yan's eyes were bright.

"The boat is not big, but it shouldn't be a problem to sit four or five people." Tulong also saw the wooden boat and looked at its size.

"Do any of you know how to row? Why don't we take a boat? Xu Xiaoqiao on the side was excited.

"I can row, but it's too small, and if there are five people, I'm worried about the danger. Do you all know how to swim? If you don't know how to swim, it's better not to go. Wait a minute, if someone falls into the river, I can't save it alone. Nishino grew up by the river and is no stranger to boating, but he still can't rest assured of his classmates.

"I will."

"I will."

"I'll order it too!"

"I swam in the creek when I was a kid. I've never swam in such a big river, but four of you can, and I can't, so it's fine. He Yan was slightly disappointed, but it could be seen from her eyes that she really wanted to go boating.

Although he and He Yan had just quarreled, after all, they came out to play together, and they couldn't bear to leave her behind. Xiye didn't want to disappoint He Yan, so he reminded everyone: "Everyone be careful, don't move around on the boat, there should be no problem." ”

Nishino untied the ropes of the boat, and after a few classmates got on the boat in turn, he also came to the stern, shook the oars, and rowed the boat upstream, and the river was flooded with circles of ripples. The mischievous little fish frolicked back and forth around the boat, and then went away.

The river is very clear, the wind has stopped at some point, and the whole river surface is like a huge crystal clear. The green peaks on both sides of the river stand on the walls, the green shadows are reflected on the water, and from time to time a goshawk or two or crows fly in the sky, quacking and chirping over the top of the mountain. In the face of such a beautiful scenery, everyone sang again: "A big river has wide waves, my family lives on the shore, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both banks......"

"Look, look, it's a big maple forest." Xu Xiaoqiao looked at the maple forest in front of him, and he forgot to dance. As she jumped, the boat began to shake as well.

"Don't move, it's going to capsize." Seeing this, Nishino was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

Xu Xiaoqiao stuck out his tongue, immediately quieted down, and sat down on the side of the boat in an orderly manner. After the boat became stable, Xiye followed Xu Xiaoqiao's line of sight and looked forward, only to see that there was really a dense maple forest not far ahead, and the maple leaves on the trees were fiery red, like a burning flame, and like the sunset in the western sky.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Yan Ling pointed to the West Field in front of him and suggested.

"Okay, go check it out." Nishino shook his oars and paddled towards the maple forest in the distance, no one could have imagined that there would be danger in the calm water.

Just when the boat was about to dock more than ten meters, the bottom of the boat suddenly shook violently, and the hull of the ship shook violently. hit the underwater reef, and Xi Ambi was shocked in his heart: "It's not good, the ship hit the reef!" ”

Before he could stabilize the boat, because of inertia, He Yan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, stumbled into the river, his two hands fluttered on the surface of the water in a panic, and his body sank rapidly: "Save me-."

"Oops! Tulong, Yan Ling, you two row the boat to the shore-" The situation is critical, after Xiye finished speaking, he didn't have time to take off his clothes, so he jumped off the boat and swam hard to He Yan in the water.

Fortunately, the river was not in a hurry, and He Yan's non-stop struggle won precious time for Xiye rescue. Xiye soon arrived in front of He Yan, and the frightened He Yanru saw the life-saving straw, and only wanted to grab Xiye's hands: "Xiye...... I don't want to die...... Help me—"

In the water, if the hands are tightly grasped by the drowning person, the rescuer will not be able to rescue them smoothly, and the lives of both people will be in danger. Nishino had no choice but to dive into the water, go around behind He Yan, reach out and grab her by the collar, and hold her up with both feet, so that He Yan would float on the water.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here—" Nishino backstroked, paddling with one hand and pulling He Yan tightly with the other, swimming away from the deep water. It didn't take long for Nishino to lift He Yan ashore, and the exhausted Nishino instantly collapsed on the beach.

Looking at the frightened He Yan, Xiye lay on the ground panting and asked He Yan, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, I just drank two sips of water, I thought I was going to fall into the river to feed the fish this time." He Yan, who was sitting on a rock, said while twisting the water in his hair.

He Yan and Xiye both became soup chickens at this time, their whole bodies were soaked, and it seemed that they couldn't continue to play.

"Let's go back to school, you're both soaking wet, you're going to catch a cold." Xu Xiaoqiao said anxiously.

"How can we go back like this? It's strange not to be laughed to death. Xu Xiaoqiao, you go back to the dormitory and help me bring a set of dry clothes. Nishino, do you want Tulong and them to go back and help you get some clothes? ”

"Okay, Nishino, we'll go back and help you get your clothes, you two are waiting for us here." Tu Long pulled Yan Ling, who was still stunned next to him, and said.
