When it was time to start, the iron wheel slowly moved on the track. At dawn, the sky was still dark, and with the whistling of the train, the silence in the mountains was broken, and the train drove out of the mountains like a newly awakened dragon, through caves, through tunnels, all the way to the east, to an unknown place, a place that had been silently awaited for a long time in the bottom of my heart.

This is a train from the southwest mountains to the magic capital of Shanghai, a train full of mountain children yearning for the future and pursuing their dreams.

After the tense college entrance examination, Meng Ting and her three playmates lived up to their expectations, and all four of them became famous and ranked first in Jinshi. The friendship that has been together for many years can always be exchanged for self-evident hearts, and all four of them chose to go to Shanghai to study at university, and they were all admitted to Huangpu University in Shanghai. Meng Ting has loved literature since she was a child, and has always had the dream of being a talented woman in her heart, so she chose the literature major without hesitation. Liu Jingjing chose music, Gao Wenxiang chose administration, and Wang Letian chose construction engineering.

On the train, Meng Ting still remembers that when the university admission letter was delivered to the village, many villagers and neighbors in the village congratulated her and Liu Jingjing, and cast hope and envy for these two girls. Twelve years of study to this day, it is like adding full-fledged wings, and I can finally fly out of the nest, fly to the world, and fly to the future full of longing.

In the days before the start of school, Meng Ting couldn't stop fantasizing about the charming night of Shanghai Tang, the skyscrapers on both sides of the Huangpu River, and by the way, the just-completed World Expo, where the Crown of the East still stands. I wonder what it would be like for me, who has lived in the mountains for 18 years, to suddenly walk into the bustling land of Shanghai? I wonder if the ivory tower life in the next four years at Huangpu University will be consistent with the clips of youth idol dramas? The stirring feelings in her heart, as well as longing and fantasy, are intertwined in Meng Ting's mind at this moment. Of course, what Meng Ting longed for even more was that the sentence she was looking forward to back then had become a reality in the blink of an eye today. She and Gao Wenxiang are inseparable in the years to come, and Meng Ting even imagined in her mind how she and Gao Wenxiang would write an unforgettable, warm and romantic love story on the university campus.

Gao Wenxiang, Liu Jingjing and Wang Letian began to fall asleep less than a while after getting on the train. For Meng Ting, this is the first time in her life to embark on a long-distance journey, she wants to see the scenery from west to east through the car window, she believes that the road is not only the change of mountains and rivers, but also the change of climate and geographical environment.

A person who values feelings and likes literature always has the consciousness of scene fusion in his heart, things and I are between heaven and earth, and everything in the world has feelings to know, whether it is the rising sun, the dawn of the morning, the flowers, grasses, insects and fish, or the sunset, the sparkling shadows, the bright moon and the stars, all can pour out their thoughts, even the darkness before the dawn is an inherent symbol given by the Creator to the vast world of heaven and earth.

After nearly an hour of travel, the train still did not get out of the embrace of the mountains, and every once in a while it had to pass into the dark cave. The morning light gradually cut through the darkness, and with the first rays of daylight in the early morning, the scenery outside the window became more visible.

The three sleeping men woke up from their respective sleeps, yawning incessantly.

"You three are awake." Meng Ting said with a smile.

"Tingting, haven't you slept?" Liu Jingjing didn't seem to have completely woken up from the dream, and her upper and lower eyelids were still shaking.

"No, I can't sleep, so I watched the darkness before dawn." Meng Ting said humorously.

Gao Wenxiang laughed: "I really admire your spiritual perseverance, I can't forget to borrow the scene to lyricize at any time." ”

"Not really." Liu Jingjing immediately took over, "Meng Ting was originally the reincarnation of Li Qingzhao, and she will be a talented girl in Huangpu Academy of Literature in the future." ”

Gao Wenxiang and Wang Letian laughed. Liu Jingjing has always been a living treasure in the circle of four, as long as she is there, the humor of various colors is always colorful.

Meng Ting watched the train pass through the cave again and again, and the mountains were still shrouded outside the window.

"I can't believe the mountainous area we live in is so big." Meng Ting looked out the window and said quietly. She felt like a caged bird, flapping her wings and flying outward.

Gao Wenxiang: "Meng Ting, our China is so big, from east to west, from south to north, far away." ”

Meng Ting turned around and smiled at Gao Wenxiang.

"What does it feel like to travel by train from the easternmost to the westernmost part of China, or from the northernmost to the southernmost part of China?" Liu Jingjing's eyes showed reverie.

"Jingjing, you can close your eyes and walk around the map." Gao Wenxiang joked.

Meng Ting and Wang Letian laughed on the side.

Liu Jingjing immediately showed a rude look: "I never dream, one day in the future, when I am in a good mood, I will leave." ”

"Alright, my eldest princess, you can fly freely then." Gao Wenxiang smiled and said, "By the way, when the time comes, you bring Lotte, he is a geography expert." ”

As soon as Gao Wenxiang's words were finished, Wang Letian, who was sitting on the side, immediately blushed, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Jingjing. Gao Wenxiang saw Wang Letian's red face, and knew that he was excited for a while, and he talked too much.

After Liu Jingjing heard this, she didn't feel a trace of it, her heart of chasing stars occupied everything, and she didn't know that Wang Letian, who had been with her for many years, liked her silently in her heart. What's more, Wang Letian never showed it.

Meng Ting and Gao Wenxiang have long seen that Wang Letian can't help but show love for Liu Jingjing's loving eyes and sometimes his inner fiery expression.

Meng Ting hurriedly joked in time: "If Jingjing goes on a trip, she has to call all three of us." ”

"That's it, Tingting can still speak." Liu Jingjing looked at Gao Wenxiang and said.

"Yes, yes, yes. We can't be separated. Gao Wenxiang said.

Wang Letian was complicated in his heart, although Fang Cai's own friend was just joking, but his liking for Liu Jingjing was real, a joke that didn't matter seemed to make him feel that the distance between him and Liu Jingjing was so close, so full of expectations, and he didn't know what color of love fate would arrange for him in the future.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the train entered Chongqing and stayed here for half an hour.

Meng Ting and the four of them looked at the mountain city of Chongqing outside the car window, with rows of high-rise buildings and busy traffic on the streets. For the first time in her life, Meng Ting saw the scene of a big city, and the impression of the city in the new era dazzled her and made her dizzy. Meng Ting seemed to have sensed the rhythm of Shanghai thousands of miles away in advance, and her heart was thousands of miles away, and she had a lot of thoughts at the moment. Looking at the bustling city that catches your eye, compared with the depths of the mountains in your hometown, there is a lack of tranquility and peace, and a lack of breath from nature. Meng Ting thought to herself silently in her heart.

After the train left Chongqing, the further east it went, the less the scenery of the mountains embraced, and most of the plains and hills were seen at a glance, and more of them were wilderness.

Meng Ting felt a kind of experience of ice and fire, and the environment surrounded by mountains was like a cradle, bringing people an endless sense of security. At this moment, the thousands of miles of fertile fields in the eyes are like the sea, without the slightest obstacle, making people feel so free and unrestrained. In less than a morning, it brought her a thousand different feelings. In a trip, the soul can be effectively released, integrated with all things, whether sad or happy, can always find resonance in travel.

That time, Meng Ting instantly understood: "When you have seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, your heart will be washed into a blank, free and quiet, because it soothes the uneasiness in your heart." ”

Looking at Gao Wenxiang, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, Meng Ting imagined that if one day in the future, she could have a long journey with him, it would be an absolutely happy experience for her. Meng Ting turned on her mobile phone, boarded QQ, and entered her message board:

I would like to go on a trip with you one day.

Go where you've never been,

Without a computer and mobile phone,

And just stop-and-go,

Just look at the poetic and the distance.

The most beautiful thing in my heart is to hold hands with you

Walking on the enchanting road,

Looking at the shooting stars in the sky,

Climb the greenest peaks,

You can talk about the future and memories,

Anything goes.

The sunrise crosses the mountains of his homeland,

I'm not old, you're still.

The happiness in the dream is at this moment, with the temperature of the fingers, between the lines on the message board.

Meng Ting and the four of them arrived in Shanghai at night, the moment they walked out of the train station, Meng Ting's mood was complicated, she had been fantasizing countless times in her heart since she was a child, and now she has stood on her land, brought from the fairy tale world of the past to reality. Neon beams are scattered among the tall buildings, and the towering buildings are like wearing a colorful costume in the enchanting night, turning yellow and green. Although the night is already deep, it is still lit up, the sound of cars, and the night is dark, and it is very lively.

Gao Wenxiang, Liu Jingjing, Wang Letian and Meng Ting, like Meng Ting, are also excited and irrepressible. For the children who have always lived in the mountains, all the way, through the state and province, and came to the Oriental Pearl for the first time, the joy in my heart is like a rolling wave, constantly beating the rocks on the shore, telling the indescribable excitement.

On the night they first arrived in Shanghai, Meng Ting and the four of them found a hotel with a reasonable price. Among the four people, Liu Jingjing is in the highest spirit at the moment, clamoring to go to the Bund for a visit. Meng Ting persuaded her, saying that the four of them were new to Shanghai after all, and they were not familiar with life, so it was better to rest early, after all, after all, they would study in Shanghai for four years, and there would always be opportunities. Under Meng Ting's persuasion, Liu Jingjing had no choice but to give up.

It was already midnight when Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing were lying in bed after taking a shower, but the street was still lively, and all kinds of voices, cars and music kept coming. Teacher Guo Meiqi once said that the reason why she is attached to life in the mountains is because there is the most comfortable tranquility in the mountains.

On the first night Meng Ting arrived in Shanghai, she couldn't help but think of her teacher Guo, and after careful calculation, it had been six years since they were separated. The sunny smile and amiable appearance all appeared in front of me one by one along with the thoughts in my heart. I don't know where the former Mr. Guo is now? may have married and had children, and lived a dull and happy life with his beloved in a favorite place. Thinking about it, Meng Ting unconsciously closed her eyes and began to fall asleep. Outside the window, there is still a lot of color, and the music is continuous.

The dawn is shining, the first rays of sunlight in the morning will shine on the whole Shanghai, the sun is shining, and the new day has entered the busy of yesterday under the rhythm that has been used to it for a long time. The sounds of people and cars on the streets break the silence of the early morning, and life continues to bloom its inherent colors in this accustomed tone.

Meng Ting got up early in the morning and finished washing and packing up. The thought that I will officially step into the university campus today fills my heart with infinite reverie and anticipation. After the four playmates left the room, they had breakfast together, and the price of an ordinary breakfast was more than twice as high as that in their hometown county.

On the day of the report, the campus was naturally bustling. For the university, the arrival of new students has added a fresh atmosphere to this place, and every time this time is also the most beautiful moment for a university, with new symbols, new members, and even a novel atmosphere in the air.

When you come to the school gate, you will see the majestic and unique school gate, with white marble color, and four gilded characters of "Huangpu University" written in the middle, which reflect the golden yellow light under the sunlight. Walking into the school gate, you will find a straight and wide avenue, lined with green grass, on which flowers and precious trees are neatly and orderly. At the end of the avenue is the library, the tallest and most imposing building in the university, with a spacious plaza lined with orientation spots for each college.

The library is built on an island in the middle of the lake, the artificial lake is called "Jingya Lake", the name is in line with the scenery, the lake is surrounded by weeping willows, and the willow silk caresses the clear water surface, quiet and elegant, and the elegance reveals freshness. Most of the school buildings are in European style, with red as the main pigment, overlooking the entire campus, red and green, large and small lakes are scattered in it, which has both Western European elegance and oriental poetry.

On the first day of the report, Meng Ting's mood in the morning was washed away by this scene in front of her, as if she fell in love with the city from the bottom of her heart, and fell in love with her own campus.

Coming to the front gate square of the library, Meng Ting, Liu Jingjing, Gao Wenxiang, and Wang Letian each went to their own college to report, and then arranged the dormitory. The first day of college is always spent in novelty and busyness, and countless people have this ivory tower dream, and the first day of busyness does not seem to feel tired.

Coming to a bustling international metropolis for the first time, Meng Ting saw a picture that she had never seen before. Handsome men and women shuttle through the campus, and honeyed couples walk in front of them from time to time. The girls walking back and forth, wearing colorful skirts of various styles, blend in with the beautiful campus. The university I am in is not only beautiful in terms of scenery, but also in terms of people.

After Meng Ting completed all the formalities, a handsome and tall senior sent him to the dormitory. This senior seemed to be very enthusiastic about her, a girl from the mountains, and kept chatting with her along the way. Meng Ting's name, hometown and other information were all mastered by him in a short period of time. This senior really worked hard and sent her to the door of the dormitory.

"Meng Ting, you can clean up first." The senior said with concern.

Meng Ting thanked the handsome senior again and again.

"By the way, Meng Ting, I forgot to tell you, my name is Zong Wenbo, and I am a professional with you." As he spoke, he took out a small sticker, "It is my mobile phone number and QQ, if you have any questions, just look for me." ”

Meng Ting took the sticker and smiled: "Okay, thank you, senior." ”

After Zong Wenbo left, Meng Ting walked into the dormitory. At first glance, the dormitory is spacious and fresh, and it is a quadruple dormitory with its own balcony and bathroom. The dormitory has excellent lighting, and the warm sunlight shines through the windows, which makes it even more warm and warm.

Meng Ting wasn't the first person to arrive at the dormitory, she already had a roommate there when she entered. This roommate has long hair and shawl, snowflake skin, and is wearing a white embroidered dress, with a watch on her wrist and a necklace around her neck. At this moment, I am lying on the bed that has been made and listening to music. After seeing Meng Ting walk in, the girl was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly got up from the bed and helped Meng Ting pack up her things and make the bed.

"Hello, my name is Yu Manxue." She said and stretched out her hand to Meng Ting.

Meng Ting hurriedly held Yu Manxue's hand: "Hello, hello, my name is Meng Ting." ”

The ancients often said that life is only as it first sees. This girl named Yu Manxue is the first friend Meng Ting met after coming to college, she is beautiful, full of vitality, and warm and generous, and treats people gently. Meng Ting instinctively thought that most of the children of rich families were arrogant, especially in the face of her, a person from the mountainous area. However, the first acquaintance with Yu Manxue felt her sunny and enthusiastic inner character, which was completely different from her stereotyped understanding. A few years later, for Meng Ting, what she never expected was that someone with such a big gap with her social class would become a heart-to-heart friend in her college career, and the two established a deep friendship.

Yu Manxue is the daughter of a real estate developer, her father's pearl, and her family's wealth has already exceeded 100 million. Yu Manxue is also a strong girl, and she has always been only able to serve capable people in her heart. Later, in her dealings with Meng Ting, she found that Meng Ting, a girl from the mountains, had generous manners, excellent temperament, ability and self-cultivation, and was kind-hearted, especially her literary accomplishment, which made her deeply admired in her heart.

In Meng Ting's four-person dormitory, only Yu Manxue is a rich girl, and the other three are ordinary rural girls. The other two, one named Yan Ning and the other named Zou Yanhua.

At the end of a busy day, people in the same dormitory inevitably get to know each other and get to know each other. Like Meng Ting, her three playmates have all had the same experience, moving into a new dormitory, making new friends, and starting a new model and new life.

On the night when she first entered the university, Meng Ting added the senior named Zong Wenbo during the day, and sent a reply in less than five minutes after sending the request.

The first day of university life made Meng Ting feel rich and colorful, compared with the monotony of the original life, it is like a corridor where famous flowers gather, people from all over the north and south gather together, and foreign students from all over the world are also overflowing. Meng Ting personally felt that the university life that was about to start would be very different from the past.

That night, Meng Ting published a prose journal on QQ to commemorate the beginning of her ivory tower journey.

Facing the first rays of sunshine in the early morning,

The chirping of a train pierced the silence of the night.

All the way to the east,

Walk through countless cities and villages.

The mountains and fields meet my eyes,

The white clouds in the blue sky seem to accompany me.

A heart is like a swan that has just learned to fly,

Longing to reach the other side of my dreams.

The neon lights of the magic capital are bright, like a fairyland, like a fairy tale,

It's more like the sky I once fantasized about.

Reminiscing about the sporadic lights of his hometown at night,

Here the night is like day;

Compared with the silence of fireflies,

It's a bustling place.

Looking forward to the future of the distance,

I'll quicken my pace;

Walk with you,

I'll laugh and laugh.

Meng Ting's class has a total of sixty-two people, most of whom are southern students. The next day, 62 university students gathered in one place, and each took turns on stage to introduce themselves.

It was a touching day for Meng Ting, those students from the city, always have a temperament that has more abilities than learning, some can sing, some can dance, and more importantly, they have a lot of knowledge and a wide vision, many of them have followed their parents to the north and south of China, and even some have been abroad. For those who grew up in the mountains, these can only be fantasies.

In real life, envy is a better driving force, it will make people see the actual gap, and will work harder and more upward on the road in the future, just like the wildflowers in the crevices of the rocks, only by desperately breaking through the narrow living space, can we better accept the nourishment of sunshine and rain. At that moment, Meng Ting kept telling herself in her heart that she would cherish her college time, cherish these short four years, and shape a better self.

Meng Ting may not have realized that she had conquered the attention of many boys in her class that day. Although she comes from a mountain village, Meng Ting has developed the habit of reading since she was a child, and has always been strict with herself and constantly improving her self-cultivation.

Standing on the podium, Meng Ting carried the simple and unpretentious temperament of a mountain woman like a breeze lingering in the classroom. Slim and elegant, his demeanor has a graceful posture, and his expression is slow to speak. A long black hair like willow silk under the spring sun. A pair of bright eyes, clear and clear. Especially she loves to smile, and her elegant and elegant charm is naturally revealed.

Looking at Meng Ting's smiling face, the boys in the audience had to praise her in their hearts for being an elegant and beautiful girl. Different from other girls from the city, Meng Ting's beauty is more of the original natural beauty, life in the mountains is not as tight as the bustling metropolis, the rhythm is tight, year after year, day after day, always breathe the air in the depths of nature, grow with nature, and live a warm life of her own in the slowly flowing years.

On this day, Meng Ting and Yu Manxue became the goddess of class flowers in the minds of boys, and after returning to the dormitory, there was an endless stream of boys who added their two QQs.

The college life of Chinese college students is all drawn in military training. On the third day, there was an extra group of people in camouflage uniforms on the Huangpu campus. In the sun, on the playground, shouting slogans, taking steps.
