"You can carve?" Mu Mu looked at the lifelike Second Master Guan and asked me with wide eyes.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know how to carve, but when I was a child, I used wooden sticks to make slingshots and pistols in my hometown, these things can't be called carving, as long as you are given a knife and enough time, you can also fumble and make them." ”

Mu Mu said in disbelief: "Are you from the countryside? ”

I nodded, put 'Guan Erye' on the plate in front of her and said, "Yes, a child who grew up in the countryside. ”

Mu Mu said with some excitement: "Can you tell me about your interesting stories in the countryside?" ”

"Look, the fox's tail is exposed, and he still says that he is poor, I'm afraid that you have been in contact with the top of society since you were a child, so you will be interested in rural life." I teased her, she bit off the mouth of 'Guan Erye', and swallowed the whole person of 'Guan Erye', glaring at me. I stopped teasing her, and told her stories about climbing trees and digging birds, bathing in the river, picking sweet potatoes in the field, and roasting corn in the countryside when I was a child.

These things are nothing to hear for those who have experienced them, but for children like her, who have been studying at Hangzhou Foreign Chinese College since childhood, they are very strange. Although my eloquence is not good, I can tell a story worthy of a lotus flower with a tongue and a third point into the wood. A piece of painting and painting that can be told by digging a bird's nest on a tree, ** stacked, paving the fun, scientific, and delicious bird's eggs in three stages to explain, Mu Mu listened to my story while eating barbecue.

Sometimes he despises me, sometimes he laughs. When I finished telling a story, Mu Mu raised his glass full of fruit beer and said, "I really didn't expect the countryside to be so fun." ”

I raised my glass and touched her, smacked my mouth and continued: "There are many more fun things, in the summer, we go to bathe in the river near the village, the absolute open-air bath, men and women bathe. At that time, I was young and ignorant. More than 20 boys and girls washed together, all stripped naked and had water fights, girls and boys were crazy, and now think about it, if more than 20 men and women took a bath together, this would probably be a Japanese blockbuster. ”

Mu Mu despised me: "Your thoughts are really dirty, what a beautiful childhood." ”

I sandwiched a piece of barbecue for myself: "And, you are a rich person who does not understand the suffering of the rich, we were happy when we were young, but when we are a little older, we enter the school and society, and recognize our identity and status, there will be a kind of inferiority complex as a rural person, I came to Shanghai for the first time, looking at the high-rise buildings, such as weaving traffic, brightly dressed men and women, and those peculiar iPhones, sincerely, dazzling, and sincerely feel the backwardness of the countryside." ”

Mu Mu seemed to be full, propped his chin and looked out the window and said: "There are gains and losses, I have never heard anyone talk about these interesting rural things you said, let alone experienced them." When I was a child, I can't remember it myself, I wasn't forced to study by them, and I didn't deliberately compete for anything, I just walked forward step by step, very bland, and there were some little wishes of girls, but most of these wishes came true later. As for the friends who grew up together, they all went their separate ways, and even some of them have been silent for many years, and their lives and deaths are uncertain. ”

"It's so sad to say, and I don't know whose pity it is." I raised my glass and touched it with her, drank most of it in one gulp, and said, "You were born with everything, and we all have to work our own, so your childhood is a little less fun to prove that God is fair." But I really want to scold this damn God, we just spent a happy childhood, but we have to work hard for a lifetime of sexual happiness, and you just spent a miserable childhood, but you have a happy life that doesn't need to work hard for a lifetime, hard ......"

It seemed that my words brought back Mu Mu's memories, and this girl with long flowing hair and as cute and white as a snow lotus raised her wine glass and said to me, "Cheers, for childhood." ”

I raised my glass and touched her, she drank a glass of fruit beer, and I drank the remaining half of the glass, Mu Mu giggled, poured another glass for himself, and continued to drink. I don't stop it, it's just fruit beer, not a spirit. After eating a meal until nine o'clock in the evening, I drank fruit beer, so I didn't get dizzy, and Mu Mu was not unconscious, but walked a little shaky.

I drove her home in her car and then took a taxi home.

When I was sitting in a taxi passing by Shanghai's busiest financial center, Lujiazui, I suddenly saw an LED billboard with the slogan 'Return to your most innocent childhood', which was a garbage advertisement that had nothing to do with childhood, but it made me a little drunk. Tomorrow I will continue to contact the remaining second and third batches. But I found that my chances of winning this time didn't seem to be great. Slaughtered by others, is this the end I have foreseen?

God is not fair because He has not given the grassroots the perfect path to ascent. In this world, there are some high positions, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to climb to them. For example, the head picture printed on a coin. I remember once reading a third-rate web novel, and the main character in the book had a very interesting mantra that Lao Tzu's head would eventually appear on the imperial coin. According to the urine nature of that third-rate web novel, the protagonist finally succeeded in printing his avatar on the imperial coin. But life is not a novel after all, where is my tomorrow?

Xu Wei's Blue Lotus is playing on the taxi radio, and the slightly hoarse lyrics seem to sing my heart: Nothing can stop you from freely yearning for a whimsical career, your heart has no worries, through the dark years, I also felt hesitant, when you look down, you realize the road under your feet, the free world in your heart is so clear, high, blooming, and the blue lotus will never wither

……

When I was a child, the sky was like the Garden of Eden in a dream. It is impossible to go back and will not go back. I used to think that I had finally gained a foothold under the sky of Shanghai, but when I looked back, I realized that I had never been under this sky. The sky in Shanghai at night is still bright with stars, and the towering skyscrapers of the Lujiazui financial center are still gorgeous and powerful, but all this no longer belongs to me.

Success, failure, Jedi counterattack, hard work, gorgeous appearance, but now, it has once again fallen to the bottom.

The roller coaster of life has ups and downs, and I don't know when it will reach my piece of sky.

Maybe under that sky, everything will be beautiful.

Just like the blooming blue lotus, it will never wither.

[PS: Volume 7 final chapter, old rules, I've seen the top. Volume 7, Song of Heaven opens on time at twelve o'clock at noon, spoilers in advance, this volume of Song of Heaven will be a Jedi counterattack. The helplessness of volume six is just to wait for the ** of volume seven. We hope you will support us. 】
