Chapter 46: The Ivory Tower (42)
On Saturday morning, Meng Ting had already gotten up before six o'clock, thinking about taking advantage of the cool moments before the sun rose to go out for a run. After the holiday, Meng Ting will go out for a morning run every day, after all, in the summer season, the air at the beginning of the morning is not only cool, but also can breathe the cleanest air when running in the mountains.
Meng Ting looked at the flowers and trees on both sides of the road while running, before the sun was fully shining, the petal leaves were still with dewdrops, which looked particularly crystal clear. At this moment, the mountain is still in silence, and the fog can still be seen on the top of the peak, and these early morning fog are intertwined, surrounding the highest part of the mountain, like a fairy mountain in a mythological story.
After returning from the morning run, the rising sun in the east sprinkled the light on the rolling mountains, the dew drops disappeared unconsciously, the clouds and mist temporarily hid their figures, and the birds that roosted flew out of the mountains and trees at this time, and began their new busy day.
After breakfast, Meng Ting's plan was to sit on the balcony and read her favorite books, but she didn't expect that her friend Wang Letian's phone call came at this moment.
"Meng Ting, do you have something to do today?" Wang Letian asked.
"No, what's wrong? Lotto. ”
"Today Saturday, I would like to ask if you would like to go hiking together?"
Meng Ting didn't expect that Wang Letian, who has always been introverted, would take the initiative to call her to climb the mountain.
"Lotte, why did you think of going mountain climbing?" Meng Ting asked.
"It's not Saturday, and I don't have anything to do, so I just wanted to call you along."
Meng Ting didn't think about it: "Okay, but there are so many mountains near us, which one do you want to climb?" ”
"I know you're familiar with the peaks here, so you can climb them."
"I went to climb a mountain quite close to my house by myself a few days ago, and the scenery on the top of the mountain is very good, and it's relatively cool, so let's go there."
"Okay, listen to you, I'll be over in a moment."
After Meng Ting hung up the phone, she cleaned up a little and came to the foot of the mountain to wait for Wang Letian.
According to the route provided to him by Meng Ting, Wang Letian came to the foot of the mountain after about two hours.
Meng Ting saw Wang Letian with a sweaty face and smiled: "Look at your hot." ”
Wang Letian smiled: "No way, it's too hot." ”
Meng Ting handed Wang Letian a bottle of water: "You drink some water first, let's rest for a while and then climb up, after reaching the top of the mountain, it won't be so hot." ”
Wang Letian drank half of a bottle of mineral water in one go, and after resting for a while, he followed Meng Ting to start the mountain climbing journey.
When they first started climbing, both Meng Ting and Wang Letian were sweating hotly, but as the steps were constantly left behind, the coolness in the mountains became more and more obvious. When they were halfway up, the sweat on Meng Ting and Wang Letian had disappeared, and the green trees on the mountain steps where the sun did not shine were not only dark and quiet, but also very cool.
Wang Letian watched the narrow steps winding up, and the trees on both sides were luxuriant, like an umbrella to block the scorching summer sun. The dense trees are also dotted with many unknown wildflowers and grasses, which not only exude fragrance, but also form a wonderful mountain painting. I don't know if it's because of the heavy rain a few days ago, but under the clear sky at this moment, even the leaves are as green as new.
"I'm tired, why don't we rest for a while." Meng Ting gasped and said.
"What? Meng Ting, you're tired. Wang Letian said with a smile.
Meng Ting nodded: "Let's rest for a while and then go up." ”
Meng Ting and Wang Letian simply sat on the steps of the mountain to rest.
"Don't say it, before you reach the top of the mountain, you already feel cool."
Meng Ting smiled: "The waiting will reach the top of the mountain, if a gust of wind blows, you will feel cold." ”
"Why don't they all say that the world in our mountains is good."
"That's right, Lotte." Meng Ting suddenly asked, "What have you been busy with since the summer vacation?" ”
"I got a job in the county, and this weekend, I came back yesterday afternoon."
"It's okay, I'm idle during the summer vacation anyway, and it's good to find something to do."
"Originally, I thought about staying in Shanghai to find a job during the holidays, but then I thought that first, the consumption there was too high, and second, after all, there were a lot of things at home, and I could help my mother when I came back."
"Lotte, nothing happened to you at home, right?" Meng Ting asked.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my mom is not in good health, after all, I've been taking care of my dad for so many years, and I've been worrying about labor, and after a long time, something will inevitably go wrong."
"If you have any difficulties over there, you must speak out in time, and I will definitely do my best to help you."
"Meng Ting, it's really nothing. Besides, I'm so old, how can a boy rely on friends to help him with everything. Actually, I calculated that working in the county during the summer vacation would not only earn enough for my living expenses, but also keep some of it for my mother. ”
"Don't be too bitter about yourself, I still say what I just said, if you need help, you must say it in time."
Wang Letian smiled: "Don't worry, it's really nothing." Hey, how are you resting? Do you want to keep climbing? ”
Meng Ting stood up: "Okay, let's continue to climb up." ”
With the coolness of the mountain steps and the freshness of nature, Meng Ting and Wang Letian climbed to the top of the mountain with all their might.
As Meng Ting said, in the scorching summer, the moment you walk on the top of the mountain, there is a strong cool breeze blowing, which makes people suddenly feel a whole body coolness.
Wang Letian looked at the endless, rolling green mountains in front of him: "Meng Ting, I didn't expect the scenery on the top of this mountain to be so beautiful. ”
"It's good-looking, it makes people feel boundless, and the blue sky is green in the eyes," Meng Ting said as she looked ahead.
"Why haven't I heard you talk about this place before?"
"The mountain originally had no steps, and it was just developed last year."
Wang Lotian nodded: "I said it." ”
Wang Letian walked to the edge of the cliff where the protective railing had been installed, and looked out at the mountain world in the distance, in this leafy season, it was like a thousand miles of green waves in front of him. A gust of wind blows, and the swaying green trees are like the ripples of the sea, which is not only full of poetry and picturesqueness, but also vibrant.
At this moment, Meng Ting's feelings in her heart were even deeper. She has a literary talent, and the fusion of scenes is the best inspiration. In her mind, she thought: although the mountain in front of her was silent, it was not silent, and the green trees blown by the wind were its joyful singing; The gurgling waterfall is its beautiful sound of the piano; The sound of the birdsong is the best record of the passing years of the mountain. If you are on the top of the mountain, you will feel that no matter how majestic the mountain is, people can conquer it.
Looking at the towering peaks in front of you, the rocks under your feet seem to tell that the companion not far away is actually more spectacular than it.
