The midsummer of Hangzhou is a rainy breath, such a season is inevitably indispensable for a few hurried rain, as well as the wind with the fragrance of herbs after the rain, the white horse through the gap, our youth is the same, just like a cup of coffee without a refill, in addition to the rich bitterness, the rest is nothing more than the person with a face full of scum.

Cool drinks hang on the walls of glasses, the cool midsummer breeze lifts the curtain of the café, and the scent of mountain mud and wild grass fills the nostrils. Wu Tong clenched the wine glass in his hand and poured it down on the bar, muttering, "Boss, where do you say people will go after they die?" ”

The owner of the café stopped wiping his hand and slapped the bar counter and scolded, "Young man, what do you say is not alive and dead!" ”

Wu Tong was shocked and bounced his head from the bar, staring at the boss in a daze, and exclaimed, "You scared me!" ”

"Let's go!" The boss put a string of silver keychains on the bar and said, "I'll take care of this café for you in the future......

Wu Tong's drunken eyes immediately brightened, and he said, "Damn, you don't owe money in the store, and you want to stuff the mess into me and run away by yourself!" ”

Boss Mo knocked a chestnut on the top of Wu Tong's head and said, "Don't take it back!" ”

Wu Tong squinted his eyes, pretending to be drunk, slapped away the hand that Boss Mo was about to stretch out and said, "Eh! If you can't do it, how can you not accept it? ”

Wu Tong casually picked up the key on the bar, raised his eyes and asked, "What about you?" ”

The boss put the wiped cup back in the wooden drawer, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Travel ......"

"Where are you going?" Wu Tong drank the remaining wine in the cup, and his eyes poked at his old cheeks.

"Smack!" The boss took a photo from the counter and took it on the table, pointed to the photo and said, "Wow! Baffin Island! ”

Wu Tong picked up the photo and tilted his head to look at it for a long time, just a glacier-covered island, what is there to go.

"Do you want to buy insurance?" Wu Tong quipped, and the business skillfully took out an insurance policy and pressed a black pen.

Boss Mo leaned his head over, stuck it in front of Wu Tong and asked, "If I go out of the country together, can I be disabled for life?" ”

"Stop drinking!" Boss Mo smiled and removed the cup that Wu Tong had drunk.

For a person of Boss Mo's age, doing such a pursuit, it is called "old and strong, not falling into the ambition of the clouds!" Like Wu Tong, who works tirelessly without a trace of complaint, is called "poor and strong!" ”

The night was darker, and the insects in the mountains outside the door were like a hypnotic tune, Wu Tong looked up at the yellow light on the ceiling, and sighed, "Isn't it time to be a ......thing of the past?"

。

。

。

In 2019, it was an unspeakable time. Change is an indispensable part of the process of human civilization, and in philosophical terms, movement is absolutely unconditional, but I seem to have become a special kind of "movement" that has stopped somewhere......

My name is Wu Tong, the Tong of Wutong, a straight man of steel, single with his strength so far, I heard that Mr. Lao She likes the plane tree, and he planted a tall plane tree in his yard, which is also an honor for my name. Although I don't understand why my mother gave me such a name, I think that the sycamore is like me, the ancient tree is towering, even if it is sad and lonely in autumn, but there is still a gap in the leaves of the tree......

Internet novelists, office workers, and dads are all Wu Tong's identity cards. Writing novels is a hobby, and going to work is for a living, but as for daddy, it should be a dream......

The year he graduated from college, Wu Tong didn't know how many people he hugged with a smile and a smile, and he didn't know how many people couldn't tell that person what was in their hearts, they might be fantasizing about meeting that one day in the future when they met her or him again, at that time I don't know if everyone could still smile and say "long time no see...... but think about it, this is thinking about fart!

On the night of graduation, Wu Tong was drunk with his four good brothers in the dormitory, and they specially asked the boss to play their own song - not to say goodbye.

"Goodbye old classmates who hate each other......"

"Goodbye, I left you the last page of your graduation book......"

"Cheers!" At a food stall at midnight, five newly graduated boys raised their glasses.

Nightlife is the symbol of a city, in the past, the dormitory in the university was strictly managed, holding a flashlight, eating Sichuan-style self-heating hot pot in the dormitory with a black light, and drinking a few yuan Wang Laoji, this was the nightlife of five people at that time.

But now it's different, a few people have graduated, and they can do whatever they want! Who cares about these wild horses galloping to their heart's content.

On the white plastic table in the night stall, several people chatted about their future colors......

"Did the elementary school girl add you to WeChat?" Wang Yi asked with one hand on Wu Tong's shoulder.

Wu Tong's eyes rolled a few times and replied, "I sent her the head teacher's WeChat account, and it can be regarded as a good marriage!" ”

Wu Tong's shady method immediately attracted the attention of the remaining four, and several of them said in unison, "It's a werewolf!" ”

is the so-called young and frivolous, and he is in his prime, but as a socialist successor, these celebrities are just little daisies on Wu Tong's ideals and beliefs, white and petite and naïve, after all, Wu Tong's ambition is the sea of stars!

The four of them are all love saints, and they have never talked about a vigorous love in college, but they can guide the country in front of others like some keyboard warriors on the Internet.

After chatting about the history of romance, several people discussed their jobs after graduation.

"I went to a theater and auditioned for an acting job." Wu Shenao was the first of the four to speak.

"You're quitting?" Yu Wenhao pushed Wu Shenao's shoulder and asked.

Wu Shenao took a sip of the corner of his cup, "That's my parents' dream, not mine." ”

"Yo, what are you pretending to be profound!" Zhou Chengkang said with a hippie smile.

Wu Shenao's old profession was a programmer, that is, a science and engineering man who deals with code all day long, but his appearance also meets the standards of science and engineering men, with a small head and a pair of old-fashioned eyes, but the Olympic bid is very popular among girls, after all, his appearance is really as beautiful as a blue shadow. However, among us boys, he is a tool man, but whenever there is any PPT to do in the class, we will go to him, as long as you bring a beer and supper, he will make it for you. It's just that many people, like Wu Shenao, walked a different path in the end than at the beginning......

"Master, what about you?" Wu Tong turned to Wang Yi and asked.

"I, I went to NetEase to submit my resume, but I haven't interviewed yet!" Wang Yi said with confidence.

Wang Yi is considered to be the second in the middle among the five people, which may be related to his idol Xue Zhiqian, who always likes to put "Neurotic!" Make no mistake! These mantras are on his lips, but fortunately, time has made this young boy mature a lot, from an ugly monster to an actor, and his life is full of regrets.

"Yo Yo Yo, it's awesome!" Zhou Chengkang listened to Wang Yi's words and clapped his hands again and again.

Now it's okay, Chengkang laughed the most among several people, and the other four people focused their eyes on Zhou Chengkang for a moment, and asked in unison, "What about you?" Double skin milk classmates. ”

Chengkang raised his eyebrows and said, "Me? I rented a convenience store under the complex. ”

"Oh, now we don't have to worry about eating and drinking!" Yu Wenhao sang and harmonized with Zhou Chengkang's tone.

"That's it!" Several people began to heckle.

Zhou Chengkang is not afraid of their blackmail, after all, he is rich and rivals the country, even if he doesn't look for a job, it doesn't matter, then open his own shop and be the boss! I remember when I went to school,He was the only one of us who rushed up 648 men,In his eyes,There is no mobile game that a few 648 can't do,People like this who have mines at home,The squandering of money is insignificant,But it makes a few of us look that uncomfortable!

"Stinky fish! What about you? Wu Tong asked by tugging at the root of his ear.

Yu Wenhao pursed his lips disdainfully: "I opened an Internet café to play League of Legends!" ”

This person nicknamed Stinky Fish is a well-deserved scholar among several people, but Wu Tong doesn't want to admit that he is a scholar, because Yu Wenhao looks like a hanger in school all day long, and it's okay to wander around the school with his big toe hooked on his slippers, for fear that others won't know about his suffocating athlete's foot, and it is precisely because his feet smell that he has the title of stinky fish.

"As long as you still open an Internet café, go as the captain of the cleaning team!" Cheng Yasu joked.

The night in Hangzhou is cool, the warm lamps are sleeping on the treetops, and several people unconsciously chatted about most of their youth......

"Boss!" Cheng Kang hooked his hand and motioned for the boss to come to our table.

The owner of the night stall was so sophisticated that he picked up the account book and ran to our table, bent over and asked, "Is there anything you need?" ”

"Sell me all the skewers in your stall fridge!" Cheng Kang said, pointing to the large freezer in the store.

The boss should be from other places, with a strong local accent, came to Hangzhou to ask for a livelihood, saw that he met the gold owner, and stood respectfully on the side with the account book in an instant, don't ask why, in front of the hooligan of life, you have no reason to say, you have to work hard to win a piece of your own world.

"All?" The boss really saw the money, and asked with a smile.

"Well, just give us the raw ones!" Cheng Kang said arrogantly.

"Good!" The boss dropped the ledger on our desk, turned around and got busy.

"It's really a mine at home, it's just different." Yu Wenhao said hatefully.

"Kiritoro, I heard that your novel is out, the four of us will celebrate it for you today!" Cheng Kang said as he smoked the Chinese cigarette in his hand.

Wu Tong patted his head, as if remembering painful memories......

"That's how it should be written!"

"Look at you, the male protagonist writes so pretentiously!"

"What the hell is this plot, change it!"

"So many typos! Can't type. ”

This book is patchwork, maybe it's okay, just like a table of mahjong, Hu!

"I'll take you to the mountains for a barbecue today! I'll make the mat! Chengyasu shouted as he finished his remaining beer.

After speaking, Cheng Kang picked up his dark gold iPhone and walked to the QR code in the store and scanned it. We were used to the process of paying the bills after eating, and outside he was the portable ATM for several of us.

This is Hangzhou, a city where QR codes and information are intertwined, and the opportunities you want are everywhere, but there are always people who can always avoid every suitable opportunity correctly. As we ......

The five of them stood on the food street filled with all kinds of aromas, the colorful lanterns pulled up indiscriminately, the extravagant lights were bright and green, and the old shops with simple decorations, you and I were all jejunum, but there were too many choices, and most of the people starved to death in the inability to choose......

A few people stood under the traffic light in the night carrying the boxes and asked, "How do you get there?" ”

Cheng Kang stepped out of the middle of the four, stroked his straight hairstyle, pressed the car key button in his hand, and a white car across the street lit up its headlights.

"Doot toot!" The headlights jumped.

The four people looked at Zhou Chengkang in surprise and asked, "Where did the car come from?" ”

"Bought it! Can you still steal it? Zhou Chengkang said lightly.

The four of them raised their heads, their eyes gradually became emoji, and they pointed their big nostrils at him, and then the four of them tacitly raised their right hands and raised their middle fingers, "Damn!" ”

Mercedes-Benz SUV, gorgeous body, I am tired of looking at such cars in magazines......

Cheng Kang turned down the storage cabinet in the car, took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, his skin was as white as tofu, and now he was wearing sunglasses, which was really disgusting. For the first time, Wu Tong and the others had a feeling of riding Luan, and taking a Mercedes-Benz is a rich flower in the world!

Chengkang kicked the accelerator, and the four of them leaned back and hit the cushion. Obediently, the motor of a good car is powerful!

Chengkang turned on the car disk, we don't love rap, we don't love bitter love songs, and we don't love the so-called classical music, what a few of us like to listen to is nothing more than a kind of elegant and vulgar appreciation of "Calories"

"Bye-bye, donuts, bubble tea, instant noodles!" A few men who had gone crazy shook their heads in a panic and hummed "Calories", and the music on the car plate became the "Grammy" of the five in an instant

There are really not many places to barbecue in Hangzhou, and a few people are ready to find a good place at night, but even if the crotch is a thousand miles, they are afraid of meeting a "road idiot", Chengkang has driven his white Mercedes-Benz back and forth in the mountains several times, such as entering the "Inception", infinite reincarnation......

Cheng Kang was angry with his sense of direction, slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in place, and he slammed the steering wheel, "Than! A loud horn made him jump out of his seat.

"Okay, Chengkang......" Wang Yi complained.

"Wu Tong, why don't you open it?" Chengkang is really a road idiot, but fortunately, he knows that he knows himself.

Chengkang turned his face and asked Wu Tong, Wu Tong looked at the miserable white face and said, "Open up, open up, silly and silly!" With that, Wu Tong pulled him down from the main driver's seat.

Wu Tong sat in the driver's seat, raised the gear, kicked the accelerator to the end, and performed a super start of QQ speed, bringing a fast and passionate experience to several people.

After a few tosses, Wu Tong finally came around and drove the car to a railroad track in the mountains, and several people opened the car door and stretched their waists to breathe in the night breeze in the mountains.

Is the dark valley our future, why do you feel uneasy looking at it Wu Tongyue......

The twilight of that night in the valley was mixed with the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings, and the moonlight was the backdrop of the five teenagers, and a firelight burned their last rays, for ah, the starry night was long, and no one knew when they would fall.

The five people kicked away the gravel under their feet, and lay down in a neat row on the sleepers of the railway, Wu Shenao inexplicably joked, "Are we going to lie on the rails?" ”

"It's martyrdom!" Yu Wenhao corrected.

"you, what are the five big men martyred!" Wu Tong said.

We are not Haizi, suicide by lying on the rails can still make future generations remember our names, we are just a touch of wind and clouds in the world, even if it is suicide by lying on the rails, tomorrow's news headline is just "Five young men committed suicide collectively by lying on the rails, the reason is ominous." ”

The five of them looked at the starry sky, and they could feel the coldness of the metal rails on their backs, and several of them felt that this life was small, and the life of their lives was destined to last as long as a starry night.

Raising the grill, we happily sat down by the track and ate it, grease stained in our mouths, wine reverberating in our stomachs, and the warm glow of the fire swaying on everyone's faces.

Yu Wenhao drunkenly patted Wu Tong on the shoulder and said, "Gou Fugui has nothing to forget!" ”

Wu Tong said with a disgusted face, "When I have a dog, I must not forget it!" ”

"Come on, this dog is for you to raise." Yu Wenhao pushed Wu Shenao in front of Wu Tong.

"Get out!" Wu Shenao kicked at Yu Wenhao angrily.

Wu Tong drunkenly drank the canned beer in his hand and said, "I really don't know if I can do this again in the future." ”

"Come on! Budweiser respects me! Wu Tong stood up as if he had drunk fake wine, staggered up the beer bottle and shouted.

A little bright light came at the end of the twilight, and the sleepers were slightly shaken by the train approaching in the distance.

Wu Tong and the four of them hurriedly jumped up from the sleepers, and the rows of carriages lit with incandescent lights flashed one by one, like an old movie that was quickly screened, encapsulating the youth of the five people in this way, facing the distant train, the five people held their stomachs and laughed loudly, this is the most heartless laughter, like an idiot.

We drank a lot of wine that night and had a good time, because we could never be happier like this again, and after the cold wine was empty and lonely......

。

。

。

After being drunk, Wu Tong fell asleep, and in the dream he heard the voice of the past......

"Rock, scissors, paper......"

"Leave me a bite of instant noodles!"

"Hey! Tell you, the head teacher is one meter two! ”

"Kiri, what do you want to do after graduation?"

"Who knows?"

"Go to the distance, listen to the sound of heaven and earth, and enjoy the most beautiful scenery!"

Wang Yi patted Wu Tong's head with one hand and said, "Dream it!" ”

Wu Tong was so angry that he slapped back with one hand: "You are dreaming!" ”

"Ahh With a scream, Wu Tong was woken up alive.

Wang Yi covered half of his red face and said, "You still beat people in your dreams, awesome!" ”

Wu Tong squinted his eyes and smirked, it turned out that he was really dreaming......

The early morning light shines through the forest, and the fallen leaves are accompanied by the fragrance of the earth, and under the fine light spots, it is like an ancient pure land.

The five of them lay in the car in a row, just like in a college dormitory — "corpses strewn all over the field." ”

The summer sun and the chirping of cicadas woke up several other people. Several people were stuffed in the car, sweating profusely, and their faces were mottled with mosquito bites.

"Smack!" So five brainless people rose up in the car to fight mosquitoes. Chengkang's new car instantly had a lot of blood marks left by mosquitoes after they were shot to death.

In the summer, you don't need to expect a dramatic encounter, and you don't need to fantasize about her in the future, because the mosquitoes that kiss you on the cheek every night are your lovers.

Wu Tong rolled down the window, as if standing on the wilderness, a gentle wind poured through. The bag on his face began to itch again.

The mosquito left a "big red bean" on Wu Tong's eyelid, which greatly affected his driving, in the terminology of the alliance - loss of vision. Wu Tong had to drive a Mercedes-Benz with one hand, maybe you would say that the man who drove the Mercedes-Benz with one hand was the most handsome, but I am afraid that without that Mercedes-Benz as a foil, usually no one cares about the existence of that person.

Wu Tong looked in the rearview mirror of the car with red and swollen eyelids, and there was a quaint house on the side of the mountain.

"Brush!" The car drove into the cave at once, and the view in the rearview mirror was obscured.

"Brush!" With a bright light, the car drove out of the tunnel again, but Wu Tong was shocked by the scenery in front of him.

The wooden house on the other side of the mountain appeared inexplicably, and Wu Tong looked at the wooden house in the distance in surprise and didn't know what to say. I wondered in my heart, "Good boy, I saw the hell early in the morning!" ”

"Eh, go there and ask for directions!" Cheng Yasu pointed to the wooden house next to him and said.

Wu Tong's steering wheel hit the left, and the four people's heads hit the right, and the car drove into the intersection on the side. A few people were going to go here and ask the owner of the wooden house about the way out of the mountain.

"Get out of the car!" Chengkang pushes the car door.

Wu Tong came to his senses at this time, answered, and turned his head to look at the four people behind him, who had already closed the car door and ran to the stone steps under the wooden house. Wu Tong hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and followed the four of them closely, and on the wide platform of the wooden house, a plane tree stood tall through the planks of the platform, and this large plane tree seemed to be like another canopy, covering the scorching sun in front of the house.

"Shiju ......," Wu Shenao raised his head and read a few words on the wooden house.

Looking at the decoration at the door, this should be a café, because the small blackboard at the door has a coffee list written by the owner himself.

The five of them lifted the curtain at the door like uninvited guests, and a cool air hit them instantly. Damn, it's air conditioning!

"Do you want something? Youngster. The five of them were startled by the sudden sound as if they had been electrocuted.

On the open-air balcony of the shop is a wicker chair with an old man basking in the sun, who seems to be the owner of the room.

"That ......," the five big men didn't know how to speak for a while.

The boss simply got up, put down the newspaper in his hand and walked over, walked into the bar, took off the five glasses on the cabinet and placed them on the table, and then asked mysteriously, "Lost?" ”

"Uh-huh, yes, yes!" The five nodded stupidly.

"Drink some honey to hydrolyze the bar first! Drinking hurts your body! The boss said calmly.

With that, the boss, who looked to be in his fifties, took off his glasses and put them on, took out a jar of honey in a wooden box on the counter, grabbed a spoon and poured a few spoonfuls into each cup, opened the freezer and took out a few fresh lemon slices, and mixed them with ice water.

These four people are really familiar, and they sit in front of the bar, staring intently at the master's skillful craftsmanship.

"Boss, how do you know we're drinking?" Wu Shenao asked curiously.

The boss's gray beard lined with a smile, pointed to his big round nose and said, "When you came in, I smelled the smell of wine on your body." ”

Wu Tong took advantage of the familiar conversation between these people, stood up and walked around the store alone, and there were goldfish bowls on every table in this café. The red goldfish stayed in the glass tank sluggishly, its mouth bubbling and spitting. The tables and chairs in the café are carefully painted in different shades of blue, pink, green, and yellow. Wu Tong squatted down lightly and stroked the tabletop, the rough lines seemed to be made of pure wood, and it seemed that even this table might be the handiwork of the old man.

Wu Tong seemed to suddenly find something remarkable, turned his head and asked, "Boss, why are there two goldfish in the goldfish bowl on the pink table, and aren't there one in the fish bowl on the other tables?" ”

The boss was busy mixing honey water and said with a smile: "Oh! That's for couples. ”

The four single dogs in front of the bar turned around and looked at Wu Tong with a grin, followed by a mockery without conscience. "Hahaha!"

"These goods, fifty steps and a hundred steps......" Wu Tong muttered disdainfully.

Wu Tong continued to admire the decoration of the store, and walked and bumped into the wooden ladder carelessly. "Bang knock!" A photograph fixed next to a wooden ladder was shaken down and fluttered down. The back of the photo faces Wu Tong, and there is a line written in a pen on it: "December 31, 1999, cross-century!" ”

Wu Tong turned over and saw a photo of a girl holding a dog standing in front of the store, and behind the girl was the store, but at that time the store seemed to be called "abandoned".

Wu Tong easily set this old photo back.

"Kiri, honey water!" Wang Yi handed over the honey water and asked Wu Tong to come over.

Wu Tong sat in front of the bar, and suddenly asked the boss curiously, "Boss, how old is this store?" ”

"More than forty years!" The boss said as he stroked the bar.

Wu Tong stared down at the dark jujube-colored floor under his feet, the moss on the wall outside the door grew savagely, and more importantly, there was a smell of time here. I don't know why, Wu Tong has liked old objects since he was a child, and old objects always give people a warm intimacy.

"Boss, do you know the way here?" Wang Yi asked again.

"There's a few maps of here at the door, take them!" The boss said, pointing to the shelf on the side of the door.

"Thank you so much!" Wu Shenao thanked him with a handful of snot and tears.

After drinking the honey water, the five of them were about to pay, when they suddenly found that there was no QR code in the store. It's really strange that there are still people who don't use QR code to pay in this era. Cheng Kang patted his empty pockets and looked at the four of them with a blank expression, the smell of embarrassment filling the air......

The boss also seemed to see the confusion of the five people, and said, "I don't need electronic payment here, just let me invite you to drink these few cups!" ”

The five of them thanked in unison and said, "Thank you, boss." ”

Cheng Kang walked to the door, picked up a map, and suddenly remembered a muffled thunder outside, and then the rain curtain hazy the world, the four of them didn't seem to care about the rain, and ran out with their heads drenched in the rain.

Wu Tong stood at the door alone, the wind brought by the rain blew through his face so refreshing, as if there was a vast ocean in front of him at this moment, mixed with the wind of the waves caressing his face, the solar terms in this world are more continuous, only the rain runs through it, never disappears, from the sting all the way to the frost, any change in the world is just an inconspicuous moment of fireworks in people's eyes.

Wu Tong was about to step out of the door with one foot, but was stopped by the boss, "Wait a minute, young man, you can take this umbrella!" And the wind oil essence! ”

The boss handed a black umbrella to Wu Tong, and stuffed Wu Tong with a small box of red round wind oil essence. Wu Tong smiled and nodded, opened the umbrella and walked out of the door, and put the hundred yuan he had hidden on the shelf at the door without the boss knowingly.

Looking at the backs of a few people in the distance, the boss stood at the rainy door and sighed, "It's good to be young!" ”

Wu Tong walked away on the rain, and this midsummer shower had the smell of the sky.

When I turned back, the café had lost its silhouette in the rain.

"Goodbye boss!" Wu Tong couldn't help but shout loudly, and his voice echoed in the mountains for a long time.
