I want to ask where there are still dirt roads in Qianshan City now.

It is estimated that there are only a few remaining mountains in the east, in the past, this place can be described as a "group of mountains", now it can only be said to be a "lonely mountain", this M-shaped mountain is relatively large, it is not easy to bulldoze, so it has been left until now. However, with the upgrading of technology, it will soon disappear under the wheels of urban modernization. At the beginning of the year, the urban planning document had already planned this place as commercial land, and as long as the funds were in place, it could be implemented at any time.

I haven't been here in a long time.

Ever since I heard Lianwen talk about the mud on the soles of "my" shoes, my first thought was this. There are so many memories here, some joyful, some angry, some sad, and some terrible.

But the power of the God of Sorrow, through that incident, was infinitely magnified, and I no longer dared to set foot here.

This is the place where I met her for the first time, and it is also the place where the friendship between me, Lianwen, and Qiao Mu began, and where everything began.

Back then, for some reason, I took advantage of the night to run to the temple of the Jade Emperor, lit two candles brought from home, bowed deeply nine times, and prayed for things to improve. turned out to unexpectedly meet a girl with fear in her eyes. From the first moment we met, I was drawn to the girl's eyes. No matter how she disguises it, her delicate and moving eyes are like a rain doll, betraying her gentle and beautiful heart. For me, who can't express my emotions properly, it's like a fairy.

I later learned that her mom was my father's client. My father was a businessman who used to travel all over the world doing all sorts of investment-related things.

So I took this as an opportunity to get to know her more and more. I often go to that mountain just to meet her.

Soon, I soon became friends with another boy, Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu is a very powerful person, he is in the same elementary school as me, although he is in a different class, but I can always hear his name in the morning meeting. He has won the championship of the guitar competition in the city, the track and field championship of the school sports meeting, and his results are always among the best. Her mother insisted on letting him follow the path of art, so his mind gradually focused on the guitar, and he was soon admitted to a key art middle school in other places.

I still remember when he heard the news, he excitedly told us:

"In the future, I want to perform on the best stage in the world."

I was so moved by his presence, even though he didn't even know what the best stage in the world was.

Qiao Mu is very straightforward, is a person with a great sense of justice, and often gets the teacher's praise for his courageous actions. He doesn't hide his emotions, and when he's angry, he gets very irritable, but he forgets about it all at once, and I like that because I don't have that ability. Compared to him, I seemed gloomy and uninteresting. Even my parents counted me down like that.

He is informal, never cares about gains and losses, there are good things to share with us, there are sad things to say frankly, it is quite easy to get along with him, I never have to guess what he really thinks. I was born into a merchant family, so I was often taken by my dad to various drinking parties or important meetings. Those adults are very dull, deliberately hiding their feelings, and it is very difficult and difficult to understand their emotions. But I've come to find that it's easier to live like this, and people can't see your emotions, which means they won't interfere with your heart. Over time, I also liked to hide my emotions and became a "boring" person.

And Arbor is an "interesting" person.

Lianwen is the shining person in my mind, before she was born, her parents divorced, and Lianwen lived with her mother. Because she concealed her "illness" and was considered a "dishonest" person by society, her mother lost her job and could only open a small shop near her home to live, earning barely enough money to support the two of them.

Lianwen has been discriminated against because of her mother's "illness" since she was a child, and she is determined to become a doctor and cure her mother's illness. She often said to me, "I must become a doctor in the future and save everyone in the world who is like my mother." ”

Her dream was not very sensational, because in those days, as long as the teacher asked about the ideal, almost all elementary school students aspired to become doctors, policemen, firefighters, engineers. But there are very few people who actually do it.

I still remember my answer at the time: I'm going to be a plain person. was ridiculed by his classmates for a while.

In my opinion, it's hard enough to be yourself.

But Lianwen is different, she uses her actions to catch up with her ideals.

At a time when almost everyone is watching animation, playing with mud. She was munching on obscure medical books, which, in the teacher's opinion, were not at all something that a schoolboy could understand. In fact, Lianwen really can't understand it, but she is not afraid at all, but relies on hard work and diligence to pursue what she wants. She's not a genius, not the kind of genius who can do whatever she wants in an instant. She is also just a schoolboy, an ordinary schoolboy. But she deliberately moved towards medicine, fearlessly going to medical universities to ask professors questions, and tirelessly going to the mountains to collect materials for experiments. Can you imagine this being an elementary school student doing?

Her efforts were appreciated by her teachers, and she was regarded as a benchmark for "hard work", and her mother was proud of it. There were even professors from medical universities who gave her special guidance and gave her classes for free.

I, Lianwen, and Qiao Mu are quite good in school. Lianwen and Qiao Mu both have their own achievements, and they are both influential figures in the school. I, on the other hand, am an ordinary being, and the three of us are so good that I have always been regarded as an incredible thing by other students and teachers.

Seeing that Lianwen's life path is smooth.

But.

It all ended with that accident.

On the weekend of the sixth grade of elementary school, the three of us agreed to go to M-shaped mountain on Sunday.

At that time, the comics of "Evil Dragon" were especially popular among children, and there was a glowing stone man in the comics, and the stone man gained great popularity with his simple and cute personality, and the three of us were also addicted to it.

On Saturday, the day before the trip, Qiao Mu rang the doorbell of my house and mysteriously pulled me into my room with "homework for advice". Seeing his twisting and staggering appearance, I realized his purpose.

"Huh...... Qinghe, let's build a stone god. ”

But I really didn't expect him to say that.

I frowned and looked at him quizzically.

"That...... Doesn't Lianwen like the stone god? I wanted to surprise him...... In other words...... Building a stone god on the mountain will definitely make her happy! ”

As he spoke, he became excited, and his voice grew louder and louder, and I immediately made a "shhhh

"Ahhh......h I'm sorry, that is, I may not be able to take it alone, can Qinghe give me a hand? ”

He said bluntly, and sure enough, his strength was that he had something to say.

"Now?"

I looked at my watch, it was past lunchtime, and if I went now, I might not be able to finish the evening, and-

"Doesn't the stone god shine? It's just that piling up stones is not a stone god. ”

"Don't worry about that!"

Confident in his life, he pulled out a few bags of strange things from the bag he had brought, which looked like lamps covered by a cover.

"I bought it on Dongyang Road, I don't need a battery, just fill it with some water, and I can make him shine through some chemical reaction. I tried it at home! The color of light is very similar to that of the stone god! ”

He swore and smiled.

Chemistry...... How does it work? It's like watching a teacher do a similar experiment in science class.

I looked at his bags of things, I guess it's not cheap, for a primary school student, spending so much money on these things, it's really rare.

"I ...... I think I'm about to graduate. It's time for me to say my feelings. ”

He suddenly became very serious, and he also knew that he had been admitted to a junior high school in another place, and after this semester, it might be goodbye.

There is no doubt that Qiao Mu likes to love literature, but in the face of feelings, even Qiao Mu, who has always been "straightforward", will become fragmented.

The first time I knew about his feelings was half a year ago. After the school's spring outing, he told me about it. However, based on my observations, his feelings for Lianwen must have been more than half a year.

Naturally, I didn't say anything, and as a friend, I also have an obligation to help him.

But why did I agree at the time?

I can't remember it anymore.

Qiao Mu often shares comics with me, not only "Evil Dragon", but also many romance comics and fantasy comics. Am I grateful to him for lending me comics?

Qiao Mu often shared lunch with me, he was ingenious and cooked well. Am I thanking him for his cooking?

Qiao Mu often asked us to listen to him play the guitar, and he could play the theme song of "Evil Dragon" fluently, and every time he listened to it, his heart would be excited. Am I thanking him for taking care of him all the time?

[Again, I'm just angry.] 】

"I see, let's go right away."

Anyway, I did.

"Wait a minute—"

He suddenly stopped me as I got up.

“……?”

"There's one more thing I want to discuss with you. ”】

He pulled out another comic from his bag.
