Chapter 7 Mountains and Flowing Water
The car stopped again, and someone got in.
"Excuse me, how long do we have before we get to the bottom station in the city center?"
He Shiling looked at the conductor who came over and asked.
"Half an hour in a traffic jam. No traffic jams, twenty minutes. ”
"Okay, thanks." He Shiling glanced at his watch, it was 16:15, and it was not too late.
Twenty minutes, you can sleep for a while, suddenly thought of the man's reminder, smiled, okay, let's look at the scenery outside the window.
Looking at the changing scenery outside the window, there is no large fields and crops that she has passed before, but instead of the road that bends from time to time, the roadside is covered with weeping willows with a slight goose yellow, and when you look through the wicker, there are neat orchards of orchards, which look very layered.
The scenery in front of me really responds to Li Yu's sentence: the willow silk is long, the spring rain is thin, and the flowers leak out.
The car drove in the middle of that road, stopping occasionally and someone got in.
As the scenery from the windows began to change into the same street lamps that were replaced one after another, the road outside the windows gradually widened. The number of buses began to increase, but the speed of the buses slowed down, and they were almost in a state of moving forward.
It seems that it has already sailed out of Yunling County and is going to Jingyun City. He Shiling glanced at the watch, 16:30.
Adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and looked around the carriage.
There was no sound of talking, no laughter, and everyone leaned quietly in their seats.
The light music flowed slowly in the carriage, and after listening to the melody carefully, He Shiling laughed, it was actually a mountain and a flowing water! Thinking of the warm smiling face of someone in front of the platform, and a series of events that happened in the morning, I couldn't help but glance at the seat on the left.
It was found that the seat on the left was already occupied.
Vermilion glasses, slightly curly brown waist-length hair, smoothly combed behind the head, revealing a smooth forehead, fair skin, and a scarlet thin leather bag strap extending from the shoulders to the knees.
At this moment, she is very intently flipping through the book on her lap.
He Shiling glanced at it casually and was surprised to find that it was the English version of the book? I couldn't help but look at the page twice:
“It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.……”
“Great Expectations!” He Shiling said in a low voice.
It was Dickens's Great Expectations, a work that had just been read during the winter break with the help of the Oxford Bilingual Dictionary.
"Have you read it?" The man turned his head sideways, his eyes were large, and he smiled crookedly, with a very kind feeling.
"I've seen a little." He Shiling smiled, "Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb." ”
"Also in English?" The man asked with a smile, tapping the page in his hand.
"Hmm." He Shiling nodded.
"Oh, that's good! Can you have a few words? The man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
"Okay." He Shiling smiled and responded, "You are watching the third chapter, where little Pip steals food from his sister's house and prepares to rescue the fugitive he met in the village cemetery. So far, there are five characters who have appeared, Pip Jr., brother-in-law Joe, sister, fugitive, and a young man. ”
"Not so good, you're spoiled." The man smiled.
"It shouldn't affect the mood of watching it, right?" He Shiling laughed, the man looked at it, he should be about thirty years old, dressed in clothes, fashionable and stable, pleasing to the eye.
"How so?" The man smiled, his big eyes bent into a beautiful crescent shape.
"This book, sister, should have been read." He Shiling pointed to the pages of the book, the book could see the traces of having been flipped, and then glanced at the person in front of him, and laughed, of course, the book can not be borrowed or read, or it may be borrowed, "People who can read books in the car, presumably, the Chinese version should have read it a long time ago." ”
"Hehe-" The man laughed, blocked the book in front of him, and after a moment, he put it down again, and looked at He Shiling, "Very good, such a smart little girl, where can you study?" ”
"Yunling Middle School." He Shiling smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, sister, and she is also a person with a good blue heart." ”
"Yunling High School?" Zhu Yan's eyes widened, and he glanced up and down at He Shiling, "Very good, I heard that the students in this school are good, seeing you today, I believe that Yun Ling is worthy of his reputation." ”
"Sister, it's too famous," He Shiling smiled, this person is very good at chatting, "Yun Ling's teachers and classmates are good, there are many excellent students, and I am just an ordinary one." ”
"Really? If you have a chance in the future, you must get to know it well. Zhu Yan smiled, looked at He Shiling, closed the book in his hand, and met such an interesting girl, "It depends on the situation, it will take a while to stand in the end, let's talk about this book." ”
"Okay." He Shiling responded with a smile, glanced out the window, and was about to enter the city, there were many cars on the road, and the cars were driving very slowly, and it was indeed a while.
I looked back at the person in front of me and saw that the person was looking at her with a smile and did not speak.
Are you waiting for her to speak? He Shiling pointed to herself.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhu Yan spoke: "I'm waiting for you." ”
"Where do you start?" He Shiling smiled, "It's all spoilers just now." ”
"Hehe-" Zhu Yan laughed, "From the perspective of work appreciation, let's talk about it briefly." ”
"Okay. Then I'll get an axe in the class. He Shiling smiled and looked down at the book that had been closed, "This book, compared with Dickens's previous works, has a humorous style that is fading, and the sense of depression is a little stronger." The scene is bleak, as it is at the beginning, the story begins in the church cemetery. ”
"Huh?" Zhu Yan smiled and motioned for her to continue.
"Although the ending looks optimistic, many years later, Pip returns and reunites with Estella, who he liked when he was young, but more than ten years have passed, one has experienced vicissitudes of life, the other has been widowed for many years, both of them have left the imprint of painful experiences, and the cruelty of life cannot be avoided," He Shiling took a deep breath, "with a strong sense of pathos, this may be the power of the author's critical realism." ”
"After reading it, I can't help but be glad that the era I live in." He Shiling paused for a moment, sighing in her heart, after reading it during the winter vacation, she was depressed for a long time, because of the sadness in the book.
"Yes, this is the work of his later years, when he was going through great pain in his marriage and relationship." Zhu Yan nodded, "Like you when you are ten years old and now, your understanding of the world is different, and some concepts will also change. As the author grows older and his understanding of society deepens, so does his thinking, and this book also expresses his views on life and humanity through the description of the ups and downs of Pip's three stages of life, but he is still a tribute to the valuable character of the little people at the bottom of society. ”
"Hmm. Yes, although it is depressing, the theme of love runs through the gratifying article," He Shiling nodded thoughtfully, "Among these characters, I like Joe more, in his honest and somewhat dull character, his selfless and simple love for little Pip, and it is this love that leads Pip, in the constant inner struggle between right and wrong, gradually returns to his conscience, and Joe himself lives a happy life with his stepwife." ”
"What you give to life, life will give back to you in the same way, someday in the future." He Shiling paused, "Qiao is a person with valuable qualities and sincere emotions, to be a person like Joe, to be clean, to save himself, to help the people in need around him as much as possible, even if it is a waning moon, but also to use the not too bright moonlight to illuminate the nocturnal people." ”
Zhu Yan looked at it again, the girl in front of her, this is a handsome girl, her eyes are clear and full of aura, with a shallow smile on her face, under the background of the goose yellow coat, it is even more fresh and refined, which makes people look very comfortable.
Her voice was clear, unhurried, and her words were calm and calm, and she suddenly remembered a sentence: Judging by her words and deeds, she is not a mediocre person. Is this just an ordinary student of Yun Ling?
If so, then Yunling Middle School can really be said to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it does have the momentum of approaching Lingnuo Middle School, if not, then this girl who is humble as a "very ordinary student" should also be a "character" in Yunling.
suddenly remembered that my friend Ding Kailing had mentioned a few students, and I don't know how "excellent" such students should be.
Zhu Yan thought to herself, but soon, she was already on her way to Yunling, and she would slowly discover these "treasures".
