(a)

In the blink of an eye, the life span predicted by the doctor for you has been far exceeded.

You made it to your 50th birthday. On that day, we were staying in my holiday villa on a private horse farm in the Alps below the Virgen in Switzerland.

It was on that day that you said, you wanted to surprise me.

After a simple breakfast of whole wheat bread, fruits and vegetables and fresh milk, you and I went with me to a hut near the stables.

You asked me to wait for you in the cabin for a while, and you can come as soon as you go.

The weather was still a little cool in the morning, and I felt a little cold on my neck and chest that was exposed. I found a woollen shawl in the hut and wrapped it tightly around my body.

I'm sitting on a cot in the cabin waiting for you. I saw an easel in the corner of the hut with a half-painted sketch on it. The painting is the scenery outside the window. That was when we were on vacation the previous year, and I painted half of the unfinished painting myself. Because at the end of the vacation, there was an accident in the company, an employee was kidnapped at the construction site in the Philippines, and the kidnappers extorted 2 million ransom from the company, so we had to hurry to end the vacation and rush back to deal with this emergency.

In that case, your immediate response played a very important role. You even flew to the Philippine company to direct the rescue in person, regardless of your personal danger. Under your strategic mediation, after negotiations between intermediaries and bandits, we finally rescued the injured employees with a ransom of 500,000 yuan. Subsequently, under the pressure of international public opinion, the government army launched a search and arrest operation, and based on the important clues collected during your stay in the Philippines, as well as the information provided by the kidnapped employees, two months after the incident, the gangsters were arrested and duly punished.

I think about the crisis that happened that year, and my heart is full of admiration and love for you.

Your handling of the incident touched many employees, maintained the company's reputation, and public opinion quickly changed from negative condemnation to positive praise.

I looked around at the cabin, which was full of memories of our intimacy.

Then I felt a strong familiarity again, and the situation that had awaited you anxiously in Beausan's hut once again came to mind.

That time, you rode a tall horse in Tibet, waiting for me outside the window, and took me with you at a gallop deep into the endless lavender fields.

I couldn't help but look at the wooden window.

Just then, I heard a soft tapping sound on the window panels.

(b)

Suppressing the excitement in my heart, I walked over and pulled out the pins and opened the wooden window.

I was pleasantly surprised to see you appear before my eyes on a sweaty horse covered in black with hair shining like silk satin.

I was surprised and said, "I didn't know you could ride a horse before." ”

You say, "If there's anything I don't forget besides you, it's riding a horse." ”

You told me that when you were a little boy, you were born to ride a horse.

You were born with a special love of playing games like the Trojan Horse, and often stayed on the Trojan Horse with relish, and enjoyed it for hours on end, and when it was time to eat and sleep, you were reluctant to climb off the Trojan Horse.

You have a variety of pony toys in your room. In the store, whenever you see a pony's toy, you will always look at them intently until the person accompanying you can't bear to take you away and has to pay for you to buy you one.

You sleep with a pony doll in your arms every night.

Ever since your baron father took you on a horse for the first time, you have shown an infinite yearning and love for horseback riding.

Looking at your sparkling eyes, the baron father bought you a docile pony as a present for your 6th birthday. He also hired a horse riding instructor to teach you how to ride a horse.

However, on the first day of class, the coach awkwardly ran to ask for his resignation, and the baron was very surprised. The coach blushed and said, "Monsieur Baron, your son is so good at horseback that it looks like he has lived on horseback all his life, and I really have nothing more to teach him." He's already ridden even better than I am. He didn't need to learn anything from anyone else at all. ”

Your father can't believe it. So, he went out with the instructor, and his eyes lit up when he saw you riding your pony happily and freely on the horse farm.

An unexplained miracle! How can a small kid ride so well!

Your father said to the coach, "This ability can only be innate." I assure you that he has never ridden a horse alone before, except for the game trojan. I only knew that this kid loved horses, but I never knew he had such a genius. ”

However, it seems that you are only willing to enjoy the pleasure of riding a horse alone. You keep a low profile in front of people and don't want to show unfamiliar people that you can ride a horse.

When you were young, before your body deteriorated, you were also a lover of equestrian sports.

Your equestrian skills were already very high at the time. It's just that you never go to equestrian competitions and parties, you never ride horses in public, you never talk about horses in public, and that's it.

It's as if you have some kind of knot in your heart and don't want others to know about your special aptitude for horseback riding. You seem to have some old memories of horseback riding that you don't want to talk to.

Eventually, your body slowly fails, and you stay away from horseback riding.

After all these years, the people close to you have gradually forgotten about your youth and thought that you would no longer ride a horse. In order to avoid arousing bad associations about your physical condition, they are also very careful not to talk about horseback riding in front of you.

So, I never knew you loved riding horses and rode so well.

I stood in front of the window and listened to you talk about these past events with emotion, and I repeatedly remembered the first time you saw the moonlight in the stable at Yantang Pass, you and the moonlight stared at each other, and each other's eyes flashed.

All things have antecedents.

What we think is an accident is simply because we no longer remember its antecedents.

You held out your hand to me right away.

You extended an invitation to me.

You say, "Come up, my dear, and we will be together." ”

I took your outstretched hand.

As soon as your arm is strengthened, I will sit in front of you.

You kissed me on the cheek from behind.

You whispered in my ear, "This time, we don't have to be afraid of being seen." ”

I said, "Yes." Finally waiting for this day. ”

Although, at this moment, our hair has turned gray, we have finally waited for this day.

I said, "Honey." I'm so glad that I can be by your side so much today, when you are over half a hundred years old. ”

You say, "I'm glad to be alive with you to this day." ”

Ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be slept together.

For the sake of the ordinary white-headed old age in the world, we have worked hard for so long, so long, and so long.
