Chapter 9: A Declaration of Love

In this way, Ye'er and I fell in love, and we fell in love with each other simply, directly, and even a little roughly. Maybe no one would believe that we would start a relationship this way, but Ye'er and I did start a relationship this way.

There are always unexpected surprises in life, and after so many years of searching, love suddenly came. I didn't even believe myself, but the facts are the facts, when I got up in the morning, I looked at the sleeping Ye Er next to me, my red face, even breathing, everything was so real, and I fell in love with Ye Er deeply in an instant. Maybe that's it, all true love is unexpected, all encounters are reunions, everything is a program arranged in the dark, I should cherish this woman who has just turned eighteen years old around me.

When I got up in the morning, today is Sunday, and Ye'er said that she wanted to climb the mountain to play. I know that the mountain, for Ye'er, has a special feeling, and may hide many of her stories. Her family lives on the hillside of that small fishing village, where she played with her friends in her childhood, and on the hillside her sheep graze, these sheep have solved the school fees for her parents again and again, or bought new clothes for the children's Spring Festival。。。。。。

There was a nice mountain not far from my house, and although it was under development at that time, the scenery was enough for us to stop and linger. After breakfast, I rode my bicycle and took Ye'er towards the place of the mountain.

It won't take long to arrive, today's weather is very good, the warm sun at the beginning of spring shines on Ye'er, I feel that Ye'er is an angel, or more like a fairy full of youth, after all, Ye'er is still in the student stage, although Ye'er is tall and large, plump and mature, but because he has not stepped into society, he is still a little childish and naughty. Maybe that's exactly what I want, I like the feeling of simplicity and purity, and I hate the complexity and glamour.

I worked in that small fishing village for three years, let me know that the girls there are generally married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, so now I don't feel that she is young when I fall in love with Ye'er, the reason why Ye'er has not graduated from junior high school is because the age of children entering school at that time is generally older, in fact, there are many girls here at that time who got married at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

We climbed all the way up the path at the foot of the mountain, and the path up the mountain has been paved with green and large or small square-shaped stones, but Ye'er does not like to walk honestly on this bluestone path, but always like a naughty deer, keep running into the grass not far from the side of the road to pick a few bright wildflowers, maybe daisies, very beautiful daisies, clusters by clusters, seemingly inconspicuous flowers grow so delicately, each one is almost the same, Around the goose yellow stamens are feather-like white petals, a leaf of white small feathers in a circle, although small, but but in an orderly arrangement, do not fight or squeeze, always properly hug around the goose yellow stamens, forming a round white daisy.

Suddenly, Ye'er noticed that there was a bracken, a fern from the mountains we had here, not far away. In early spring, the young shoots of bracken came out of the soil, always hooking their heads, like a shy girl, but unlike Ye'er, Ye'er rarely has such a shy posture, and Ye'er is always very aggressive. The shoots of these bracken were fluffy, very fine hairs, and the straight poles stood there one by one, like soldiers standing guard. Ye Er cheered, as if she had found some treasure, handed me the daisy in her hand, and then ran over quickly, Ye Er said to me while picking bracken, it seems that today's harvest is really a lot, I want to light them all, I can make a plate of delicious dishes at noon.

We climbed along the bluestone path to the top of the mountain, and there were always these bracken on the side of the road, and Ye'er was always happy to pick them, until our hands couldn't hold them anymore, and Ye'er gave up her strong desire to pick. I was also looking to see if there should be that small but very strong vine-like plant in the grass on the mountain, so that I could make a rope out of this vine-like plant and tie up these brackens so that we could take them down the mountain and make a meal at noon.

After a while, I really found out. Along the right front of our hiking path, there is a bamboo forest, where dense bamboos with thick wrists stand there, forming a bamboo forest. When we walked into this bamboo forest, I found that several bamboos were wrapped around this vine-like plant, but Ye Er found that the bamboo poles near the roadside were carved with words in depth or shallow. Yes, the bodies of these green bamboos have been carved with knives or other things, some of them are very fresh, and the traces of the words left on the bamboo still have a little green of bamboo; Some of the traces of the characters have turned white or black, indicating that the characters engraved on these bamboos must have been around for a long time.

Ye Er and I dragged this vine-like plant while curiously looking at the words carved on the bamboo by people we don't know, some of them left a visit to this place, and some of them wrote who loved whom they would love for a lifetime。。。。。。 Ye'er proposed that we should also carve our words on the bamboo, but we should go to the depths of the bamboo forest to carve our words, because that is our secret, I don't want to be read by those people who don't know who come here in the future, and what we carve should not be a lifetime, what we carve should be three lives and three lives, one eye and ten thousand years!

This was a very good proposition, we cautiously walked to the depths of the bamboo forest, found a tall, straight and thick bamboo, I took out the key and carved our words on the bamboo, carved our secrets, and also carved our love declaration. The content of these words was said by Ye Er and engraved by me: Ye Er and I have three lives and three lives, one eye for ten thousand years. In the end, Ye Er still felt as if something was missing, and after thinking for a while, she added "never separated". The surface of the bamboo pole is very hard and slippery, I carved it for a long time, and finally after the acceptance and approval of Ye'er, we read our love declaration in unison, and then returned to the bluestone path with unfinished intentions.

A few years later, when we revisited here with our baby, we really found the bamboo that we carved the declaration of love, although the font color has become dark and black, but it is still so clearly recognizable: I and Ye'er three lives and three lives, a glance for ten thousand years, never separated! At that time, we all coincidentally, almost at the same time turned our heads to look at the baby standing beside us, we felt that we were the happiest people in the world, and our love was the longest love in the world.

A few years later, when I was alone with my baby and revisited, the bamboo was still there, the bamboo should be there, the words should be there, but the person is gone。。。。。。

When you think about it, it really feels funny! A relationship, you can't take it seriously, whoever pays sincerity first will lose very badly; However, if you don't give sincerity, how can you get true love? This in itself is a proposition with fallacies, who can say that there are all kinds of things in the world, crazy men and women? Who can figure it out? The so-called chicken soup for the soul, the so-called psychological mentor, is nothing more than wishful thinking, life is just a process, not planned by the laws and guidelines that you, the so-called masters, say!

Life should follow one's own feelings and soul.
