The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2

Yuxiu tried hard to erase Chen Jie from her memory, but it was too difficult for her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For a while, she felt that she had forgotten about Chen Jie. However, after a while, I felt that I couldn't forget him at all, just like Yan Meizi couldn't forget Han Xiaoyi at all. The reason why she still has illusions about Chen Jie is because there is no information that her relationship with Chen Jie has been completely over. It's like you can't say that the sentence has been said without a full stop.

Yuxiu had already heard from Bai Yu that there was a classmate in the Bailing Third Team who was studying with Chen Jie at the Provincial Normal University called Hou Wenchang and asked her to go there to inquire. However, she never went. Because she knew what she was going to do would only make her despair. Although her relationship with Chen Jie has not yet had a clear end, anyone with a little brain will know what kind of signal it should be if two lovers who love each other deeply have not had any contact for two years.

However, Yuxiu still decided to go to Bailing, even if the truth really shattered her illusions. In this way, she died of this heart, cut off this thought, and buried that enemy deep in the depths of her heart, and never let him bother and trouble her with others again. There is another reason why she can't break this thought and die of this heart, that is, in the past two years, there have been more than 20 people who have courted her, but for various reasons, none of them have been negotiated. She sometimes wonders: Could this be that God is manipulating her and dominating her with a force that she cannot see? Could it be that Yue Lao had already tied her to Chen Jie's feet with a red thread? Actually, whether to go to Bailing or not, Yuxiu was very conflicted: go ahead, it seems to be a little self-inflicted; If you don't go, there are many doubts and unwillingness. Of course, the main thing is that the white gyant has been working for her.

Bailing is a brigade of Gutang Commune, adjacent to Honghua, seventeen or eighteen miles away from Chaling, but closer to the county seat. July is the hottest month of the year, and it is also the season for local double rushes. The sun had been rising high and shining brightly, and in a short time the air was boiling hot. She walked along the Luojiang embankment all the way towards Bailing, her heart full of panic and uneasiness.

When she walked to Bailing, she inquired all the way to a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. The scenery of the valley is quite good, there is a large paddy field and about 20 households. Yuxiu had never seen such a remote and poor place. The rooster crows in the sun, and the piglets arch in front of the house. Men and women are dressed in rags, like a group of people begging in the streets. The houses were low and dilapidated, as if they would fall apart when the wind blew them.

At the entrance of the village, someone called Hou Wenchang for her. This man is burly, old-looking, and has a simple and honest appearance. I heard the white eagle say that he is twenty-four years old and has not yet fallen in love, but at first glance, it looks like a middle-aged man with a family. He had just come from the field, and his shabby clothes were stained with muddy water, and he looked a little sloppy. This made Yuxiu not have a good impression of him at all.

Seeing Hou Wenchang, Yuxiu introduced herself and explained the reason for looking for him. Wenchang took her to a low, dilapidated hut with blue tiles and adobe, handed Yuxiu a small stool, and poured her a bowl of herbal tea in a small magnetic bowl with rotten edges.

The two drank tea and began to chat, Hou Wenchang said to Yuxiu, "There is a student from Honghua, he is in the English department. ”

Yuxiu said, "Yes, his name is Chen Jie." ”

Hou Wenchang immediately said, "Yes, his name is Chen Jie." ”

Yuxiu asked, "How often do you see him?" ”

Hou Wenchang said, "The English department and the Chinese department are together, and our two classes are only separated by two classrooms. Every morning I see him running in the playground and reciting in the woods behind the building. However, he seems to have a girlfriend, who is in the same class as him, and is the most beautiful school flower of our school, named Yao Zijuan, whose home is not far from the school, and he rides to school every day. Both of them speak in English together. The classmates all said that they were golden boys and girls. Last year, he was also named the New Long March Assaulter by the school, and not only made a report at the school assembly, but also participated in the provincial New Long March Assault Commendation Conference. I heard that as long as you get the provincial advanced title, you will be given priority consideration for graduation allocation. ”

Originally, Yuxiu had a lot of things to ask, but after hearing what Wenchang said, he felt that there was no need to ask again. She sighed to herself and said, "He's so smart and so hard." ”

Hou Wenchang said, "Yes, once I got up at five o'clock when I got up wrong, and when I arrived at the door of the teaching building, I found that the door had not yet opened, but the lights in their class were already on." Later, when I asked, I learned that he got up at four o'clock every morning, got into the teaching building through the bathroom window, and began to study. ”

Yuxiu also said, "I heard his brother say that he didn't go home during the summer vacation, and he only stayed at home for three or four days before returning to school during the Chinese New Year." ”

Hou Wenchang said, "Otherwise, he always won the first place in the discipline competition of the English department. Although he was a worker, peasant and soldier college student, he heard his classmates say that his English level was higher than that of some teachers and professors who taught English. ”

After chatting for a while, Hou Wenchang suddenly asked her, "Are you his past girlfriend?" ”

Yuxiu shook her head and said, "He is the educated youth in our team. I went to a relative's house in Bailing to play today, and when I passed by, I casually came over to inquire. ”

Hou Wenchang said with certainty, "Did you talk about love in the past, but then he went to college and stopped contacting each other?" ”

Yuxiu said, "I don't have to talk about love, but the relationship is quite good." ”

Hou Wenchang said, "Do you have anything to say that you want me to bring to him?" ”

Yuxiu immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't tell him that I've been to your house." Don't tell him anything about me. ”

Although Hou Wenchang had doubts, he still said, "I know." ”

Leaving the third team of Bailing, it was almost noon, and Yuxiu began to walk back along a narrow dirt road. She didn't feel much sad or disappointed, just a little lost and sentimental, because she was able to come to terms with the fact. Obviously, Chen Jie has forgotten her, he already has a girlfriend, and he is still a like-minded school girl. He was better than she could have imagined, which made her feel very uncomfortable, feeling that he had left her a little more out of reach. But she didn't hate him, she didn't resent him, she remembered what Secretary Shui said to her, "Don't blame him, he is an educated youth, he really loves you, and he can't marry you." She knew that she was destined to go down the path of Yan Meizi, but she didn't fall so deep and miserable. Because Chen Jie has been reminding her that they can't fall in love, what they are afraid of is that they will encounter such an ending. Because none of them can cross the invisible chasm.

As I was walking on the path, I heard the bell of a bicycle ring behind me. This bell is so familiar, she looked back, and was surprised, it turned out to be Zhang Jinrui riding behind her.

Yuxiu asked, "Why you?" ”

Zhang Jinrui got out of the car, pushed the cart behind her, and said, "Honghua, Gutang and Qinghe are my postal range, and I go to a commune every three days. Then he asked Yuxiu, "Are you here to find Hou Wenchang?" ”

Yuxiu was taken aback and said, "How do you know?" ”

Zhang Jinrui said, "Because Hou Wenchang and Chen Jie went to college together. ”

Yuxiu said, "I came to visit relatives and went to Hou Wenchang's house by the way." ”

But Zhang Jinrui said, "How can there be any relatives here, if you want to say that the White Bird family has relatives, that is true." ”

Yuxiu said, "I'm a relative, believe it or not." ”

Zhang Jinrui said, "Sister Xiu, you are so stubborn, you went to Hou Wenchang's house this time, you should die, right?" ”

Yuxiu said, "My heart has long since died. ”

Zhang Jinrui wanted to take Yuxiu in a car, but Yuxiu felt that the road was too narrow and didn't dare to let Zhang Jinrui take it, so the two walked slowly on the path. Walking all the way to a big road, Zhang Jinrui saw that it was noon, and he wanted to take Yuxiu to Gutang Commune for dinner. Yuxiu refused to go, but Zhang Jinrui took her to the small restaurant, and the two asked for two dishes and ate them. After eating, Zhang Jinrui wanted to send Yuxiu home. Yuxiu said, "You're not sending mail?" Zhang Jinrui said, "It's not too late to send it in two days." ”

Passing by a wooded field, the two sat down on the grass by the roadside to cool off. At this time, Zhang Jinrui said, "Sister Xiu, you can marry me." ”

Yuxiu said, "No, I don't like you. ”

Zhang Jinrui said with a sad face, "Why don't you like me? ”

Yuxiu said, "You're too slippery. ”

Zhang Jinrui said, "I can correct it. ”

Yuxiu said, "You can't change it." ”

Zhang Jinrui was anxious and said, "Why can't I change it?" If you don't believe me, you can see how I actually performed. ”

Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll see how you actually perform, but, first of all, you can't drink anymore, how dangerous it is for you to ride a bicycle all day long and walk on this kind of path." ”

Zhang Jinrui was so excited when he heard that Yuxiu was caring about him, and swore that he would never drink in the future. ”

Yuxiu said, "You have to read more books, talk less, and don't brag and tell lies." ”

Zhang Jinrui said, "I promise." But how long are you going to test me? ”

Yuxiu said, "Until I like you." ”

Zhang Jinrui blinked and said, "How long will it take?" ”

Yuxiu said, "If you can't wait, forget it." ”

Zhang Jinrui immediately said, "I'll wait." ”
