When we stood all the way to the top of the mountain, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, plus the distance down the mountain, we couldn't reach Xishui at all. But Zhou Jie didn't lie to us, the buildings under the mountain are continuous, and it is obviously a town area that has begun to take shape, and then look at the periphery, you can see a river with turbulent water, that is the Yangtze River. According to Zhou Jie's previous statement, crossing the Yangtze River is the boundary of Xishui, and it takes less than two hours to walk to the county seat.

The closer we get to hope, the more we return to our hearts. I craned my neck to see what the water looked like, but all I could see was a white glow.

Hu Shanshan covered her forehead with her palms and looked out, sighed and said, "It turns out that the Yangtze River is also here, we should have bought a rubber boat and rowed all the way." ”

"Yes! How fun it is to row, Brother Lu Xia said so before! Wang Yuqing shook his head with emotion, and put his palm on my shoulder, "So, Brother Lu Xia is still reliable." ”

Hu Shanshan looked at Wang Yuqing incredulously: "I'm just talking casually, you won't really think it's okay!" ”

Wang Yuqing blinked his eyes and asked, "Why not?" ”

I smiled and explained to Wang Yuqing: "The Yangtze River is turbulent, and the rubber boat can't get close to the shore, which is very dangerous!" And the people at the water bureau didn't allow us to do that. Otherwise, who still buys a train ticket, one person and one rubber boat, Nanjing and Shanghai can go. ”

Wang Yuqing nodded in relief. "I see. …… We're almost there anyway, and we'll be able to go home tomorrow. Speaking of this, Wang Yuqing frowned, looked at Zhao Ziwu and asked, "Is your employee reliable?" Don't go to Xishui, people don't lend you a car. ”

"How is that possible?" Zhao Ziwu's eyes widened, and he patted his chest to reassure us. "Anyway, I'm also a leader, and I still have a certain degree of prestige."

Just when we were all immersed in the joy of victory, Zhou Jie began to shake our faith at an inopportune time, stood aside and asked tentatively: "That ......, you really plan to go back!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly froze again, and no one wanted to answer the question, so no one paid attention to him. Zhou Jie saw that he was cold, and he was embarrassed for a while and didn't speak again.

Hu Shanshan was also silent, and walked to the pine tree alone to grab a handful of snow into a snow ball, and pinched it repeatedly.

Find an express hotel for the night. Because of last night's incident, Wang Yuqing couldn't sleep with Zhao Ziwu again, at least not in front of us. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that I didn't know that Zhao Ziwu had a family before, so I could be rough, but now that I know it, it seems inappropriate to outsiders like before. So Zhao Ziwu lived in one room alone, Wang Yuqing slept with Hu Shanshan, and I shared a standard room with Zhou Jie in order to save money.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I still can't eat in the restaurant, and there are few pedestrians.

Zhou Jie and I ran a long way to find a large supermarket, bought some instant noodles and braised pork, and prepared some snacks for tomorrow.

After eating instant noodles, I went to the soft bed, and I didn't bother to move, the warm air conditioner blew people drowsy, and I didn't have any energy in my body.

I don't know how long it has been like this, Zhao Ziwu suddenly knocked on the door to borrow a cigarette from Zhou Jie, I saw that the time was already 12 o'clock at night, and I was about to take a bath, when Wang Yuqing suddenly broke into the door, panting and shouting: "Brother Lu Xia, go and see Sister Shanshan!" ”

I had a few minutes of brain short-circuiting, and I was stunned for a while before I realized something was wrong.

When I rushed into Hu Shanshan's room, I saw her crouching on the ground barefoot, with a phone in her hand, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Seeing me, Hu Shanshan opened her mouth with a painful expression, but did not make any sound. I saw Hu Shanshan's hands trembling constantly, she couldn't even hold her mobile phone, and fell to the ground with a bang.

I walked up to her and asked her what was wrong? Hu Shanshan looked at me with her face up, her lips purple and unable to make a sound, and it was not until I leaned over to help her that she threw herself on my shoulder and cried. "Lu Xia, she's dead!"

Hu Shanshan was an authentic left-behind child when she was a child, her parents worked in Guangzhou, and she only came home once a year or two, so she was raised by her grandmother. In her opinion, there is no closer person in this world than her grandmother, she is her true 'parent'. But since half a year ago, my grandmother's health has been getting worse and worse day by day, until two weeks ago, when my grandmother was dying, she asked Hu Shanshan about her marriage. Hu Shanshan didn't want to hide it, and told the truth about the situation with her boyfriend. It was also from that time that Hu Shanshan decided to come to Wu City. But it backfired, and this time I missed my grandmother's last journey.

At this time, I understood why Hu Shanshan had to go home. She didn't want to leave herself with regrets, let alone let her grandmother leave this world with regrets.

Hu Shanshan cried very sadly that day, I couldn't comfort her, and I didn't know what I could do for her, all I could do was to stay by her side and mechanically draw tissues to wipe her tears.

"Lu Xia, I'm fine, you go and rest!" Hu Shanshan hugged her knees, her eyes staring blankly at the floor.

"You really ......"

"I'm really fine!" Hu Shanshan turned to look at me and said, "Thank you."

"Then I'll go."

I explained to the confused Wang Yuqing before leaving. Just as I was about to close the door, Hu Shanshan suddenly called me again.

"Luxia"

"Huh?"

"I'll be able to go home tomorrow"

"Hmm!"

"Did you write the impressions I asked you to write?" Hu Shanshan said suddenly. "I want to see it now!"

In fact, I prepared two thoughts, one courteous and the other ambiguous, because I was not clear about Hu Shanshan's attitude at that time, and I planned to choose which one to give her as appropriate. However, there shouldn't be any need to dwell on it now, Hu Shanshan didn't come to Wushi for me, not to mention that she is in a low mood now, so she may be disgusted when she sees the ambiguous words!

After copying the edited text in the memo to her, I began to toss and turn, and as soon as I closed my eyes, Hu Shanshan's eyes were crying and despairing, but I couldn't do anything.

In the distance, Hu Shanshan sent a WeChat.

"Lu Xia, the past few days with you have been very good. You have played to the extreme of a Cancer man's thoughtfulness, delicacy and warmth, you are very kind and courteous, you are relaxed, comfortable, joyful, and happy with you.

Looking back now, it's quite unexpected, you are a miracle I met in the New Year, a landscape, my New Year's welfare, I am grateful to meet you when I was most lost, and have had such a thrilling but enjoyable trip.

I like you very much, and I love the city you brought me to, and I am touched by this place. Although there were many accidents during the journey, your meticulousness and responsibility made me feel warm.

And you are also a very good man, loyal, polite, kind, and funny. I am very willing to be with you, and I am also willing to walk farther with you, climb higher mountains, and encounter better scenery of life.
