In the school, the leaders are actively doing the ideological work of the teachers, and the teachers are actively doing the ideological work of the students. The teacher persuaded the students with poor learning to take the initiative to give up the high school entrance examination to ensure the high admission rate of the school, and persuaded the top students to give up the application for the first middle school and continue to stay in Shanhe Middle School to go to high school.

Zeng Fan didn't care about whether he could go to the first middle school at all, and he heard that the county No. 1 middle school was expanding its enrollment this year, and the school was going to move to a new campus and implement fully closed management, so he was not very enthusiastic about applying for the county No. 1 middle school. How do you know that Zeng's father had already decided for Zeng Fan to apply for the No. 1 Middle School in private, and when Zeng's father handed over a county No. 1 middle school entrance examination admission ticket to him, Zeng Fan had no choice but to accept it.

A few weeks before the high school entrance examination, it was close to the Dragon Boat Festival. I don't know when the residents of Shanhe Town have the custom of visiting Phoenix Mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival. Phoenix Mountain is named after the legend that there was a golden phoenix landing on it, there is a Buddhist temple in the mountain, it is said that it is very effective, and there are many people who usually make incense and make wishes.

Zeng Fan has never been to Phoenix Mountain, he has only seen the mountain from his father's old photos. Since he learned that Li Dabiao, Jiang Jianguo and others were going to Phoenix Mountain to play on the weekend, he naturally refused to let go of this rare opportunity. Zeng Fan's parents thought that the high school entrance examination was imminent, and it would be good to let their son go out to relax a little, so they readily agreed to his trip.

At seven o'clock on Saturday morning, Zeng Fan appeared on time at the gate of Shanhe Middle School on his bicycle. Li Dabiao and Jiang Jianguo had already arrived, and the two were leaning on a willow tree to smoke, and Wang Ting next to him was holding a wicker in her hand and waving it impatiently.

Zeng Fan had a brief greeting with a few of them, and when asked when he would leave, Li Dabiao said unhurriedly that he still had to wait for someone.

More than ten minutes have passed, and the person Li Dabiao is waiting for has not yet come, Zeng Fan can't help but be a little anxious; If he hadn't known the way, I'm afraid he would have gone alone a long time ago. Time passed minute by minute, and Zeng Fan couldn't help but resent this person who was late.

The person Li Dabiao had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared, Zeng Fan almost screamed in surprise, and even left all the resentment and impatience just now behind him - it was An Xue.

As soon as An Xue arrived, she apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late, so I've made you wait for a long time, right?" After speaking, he stuck out his tongue.

Although Zeng Fan didn't speak, he had already said thousands of times in his heart that it didn't matter.

Li Dabiao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not too late, let's get ready to go, it's just ...... How do you bring this person? ”

Zeng Fan only realized at this time that An Xue did not come alone, and there was a girl standing behind her. Wang Ting was naturally led by Jiang Jianguo, and the key question was who would take An Xue. When Zeng Fan was in trouble how to say that he wanted to take An Xue, An Xue had already said coquettishly: "Li Dabiao, you can take me." Saying that, An Xue made a gesture to get into the back seat of Li Dabiao's bicycle.

Zeng Fan hurriedly rescued: "An Xue, why don't I take you, my driving skills are better than Li Dabiao." ”

An Xue turned around and said word by word: "Don't!" You don't want to think about it, I'm going to take your car, and Shen Bingjie won't kill me. ”

Zeng Fan's face turned red, and he said with a smile: "How can that be." ”

An Xue still didn't give up: "Hmph, what is so good about you, why did our class Shen Bingjie take a fancy to you." ”

Zeng Fan learned how powerful An Xue was, so he had to shut up and watch An Xue get into Li Dabiao's car.

At this time, the strange girl blushed and said to Zeng Fan: "I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble you." Zeng Fan was about to speak, An Xue turned her head and said loudly: "This is my cousin An Ran, Zeng Fan, you have to take care of her, if she is a little bad, I want you to look good." After speaking, he waved his fist at Zeng Fan threateningly.

Zeng Fan smiled bitterly: "I know, eldest lady, I will definitely let your cousin be safe and sound." ”

The trio rode their bikes on the road, bypassing a brick factory not far from the school, and entered the river. The river bend has long since broken off, and is full of pebbles the size of eggs, and although pedestrians have stepped out of a sheep's intestine path, there are still some small stones on the path from time to time. Although Zeng Fan's riding skills are okay, on such a small road, there is a person in the back seat, and it is a little difficult to ride.

After walking for almost an hour, Zeng Fan's two hands holding the handlebars had been numb from the shock, and the physical pain was not counted, but he still had to suffer mental torture.

Jiang Jianguo and Wang Ting shared a car, the two of them were talking and laughing on the road, Wang Ting was amused by Jiang Jianguo from time to time, and sometimes beat Jiang Jianguo's back coquettishly. Jiang Jianguo deliberately manipulated the handlebars to swing left and right, and shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh no, it's going to overturn." Wang Ting smiled even more fancy, and also hugged Jiang Jianguo tighter.

Although Li Dabiao and An Xue were not as exaggerated as Jiang Jianguo and them, they obviously chatted happily. Only Zeng Fan rode a depressed bicycle alone, and He An Ran had nothing to say, so he could only bear the pain of his soul silently.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Zeng Fan became more and more tired the more he rode, and soon he was already sweating profusely. What bothered him even more was that beads of sweat were gathering on the tip of his nose, teasing his tired nerves from time to time. Zeng Fan wiped his sweat with one hand from time to time, which was very hard.

Half an hour passed, the road gradually sloped, and Zeng Fan felt more and more heavy in his legs, and his physical strength was almost at the limit. Li Dabiao and Jiang Jianguo also seemed to feel the difficulty, and they both got down and pushed the cart forward. After the group walked forward for about a few hundred meters, Zeng Fan could already see a verdant mountain peak not far away. As we got closer to Phoenix Mountain, the air became moister.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Zeng Fan looked up and saw that the mountain was lush and green, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain—it was all covered by fog.

Zeng Fan didn't know that compared with the surrounding counties, such as Shouyang Mountain in the northwest direction, which is "full of white myrtle flavor and delicacies, fish and meat, and two piles of loess light and high sun, moon and stars", Minshan Mountain in the southwest direction of "more like Minshan Thousands of miles of snow, and the three armies are full of joy after the three armies", and Lu Dongbin is drunk on it, Zhang Sanfeng feathered and ascended to the immortal, although Phoenix Mountain is not a famous spot, it is also a rare beauty on the Loess Plateau.

There is a small store at the foot of the mountain, because the Dragon Boat Festival has not yet arrived, and there are not many people here. The owner of the commissary was dozing off behind the counter, and when he saw Zeng Fan and a few people coming in, he got up listlessly to greet him. A few people pooled money, bought a few bottles of beer, a small bottle of sorghum wine, bought a few cans of drinks, a few packs of snacks, and went up the mountain together.

The path leading to the top of the hill is a path, and it is almost entirely shrouded in trees, as if a long pergola had been erected. The group walked with their heads bowed. The air in the mountains was very humid, and it didn't take long for Zeng Fan's trouser legs to be wet with dew. Because the mountains are steep, the road is difficult to walk, and in some places the road has been washed away by the flood. In a steep place, Zeng Fan was about to pull An Xue behind him, but An Xue slapped his hand away, and then An Xue said to Li Dabiao: "You come and pull me." Li Dabiao was naturally happy, but Zeng Fan was full of envy. didn't take a few steps, An Xue didn't forget to say to Zeng Fan: "My sister will be handed over to you, if she falls, hum ......" After speaking, she stirred her cheeks, and looked threatening. Zeng Fan had no choice but to go with An Ran, but An Ran was shy, and refused to let Zeng Fan pull her no matter what, and Zeng Fan was left to her.

After walking for about ten minutes, Zeng Fan and a few people walked out of the dark "tree hole", since they no longer had to bow their heads, several people walked easily, and soon they were close to the top of the mountain. At this time, the fog on the top of the mountain had not yet dissipated, and it was like a galloping horse. At the top of the mountain, An Xue took An Ran's hand like a child to chase the clouds that were dissipating rapidly, Zeng Fan sat on the grass, looking at the two girls running and chasing together, as if they were in a fairyland.

The sun rose higher and higher, and after a short time, the fog had cleared, and An Xue and An Ran returned hand in hand. An Xue looked unsatisfied, obviously not having enough fun. After running for a long time, An Ran was still wheezing, his face was still flushed, and there were one or two strands of hair stuck to his cheeks, which was very cute and moving. Zeng Fan didn't dare to look at it more, and Li Dabiao seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
