First encounter
1.
The weather in early autumn is still as hot and dry as summer. It's the most lively time of the day, and it's time to relax after the day's work. Chang Wei walked on this field road outside the school, his heart was still beating drums, and the south was a military academy a few hundred meters away, at this moment, what was the instructor doing? If I go to him so rashly, what will he think of me? It's better to call Lin Han, but this arrogant nerd may laugh at me again.
She remembered that a year ago, after she and Lin Han went to the beach to play, they got on the train home, and it was in that afternoon that she met him. She only remembered the moment she saw him, her eyes lit up, and she stared at him blankly for ten minutes: a tall nose, an angular face, a cool little flat head, a cold gaze, and a straight military uniform. He was looking out the window. Chang Wei stabbed Lin Han, pointed to him on the side of the aisle, and whispered a few words. Lin Han looked over and nodded. Yes, Chong Changwei gave a thumbs up. "It would be nice if you got off in the same place with us!" She thought.
A miracle happened the moment you got out of the car. I saw him get up, take his luggage, and get out of the carriage with his comrades. She almost jumped for joy.
"Nymphomaniac!" Lin Han said with a smile.
Chang Wei is the kind of person who never gives up easily when she has a goal, and in the next time, she began to inquire about this unknown officer in all directions, and after understanding the general situation, she looked for an opportunity to get close to him. On that day, it happened to be the August 1st Army Day, and the military academy invited some teachers and students of their school to participate in the party, and Chang Wei took the lead to sign up for a girl to sing solo. She sang very well, but her mind was not on singing, she looked around in search of him. Finally, in the crowd, she found him chatting with a few students. She settled her emotions and walked over.
"Hello! I'm Chang Wei from the School of Finance and Accounting, and we've met. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled. On the train. β
"You remember!" She was a little excited.
"You and your classmates." There was a smile in his eyes.
"Yes!" She remembered that before leaving, Lin Han was lazily lying on the bed, reading a novel.
"Nice to meet you." He reached out.
"Me too, can we be friends?" She smiled innocently.
"Okay!" His eyes are bright and seductive up close.
After returning to the dormitory, Chang Wei didn't tell Lin Han all this, she wanted to keep it as a secret in her heart.
In the following days, the military school became a place where Chang Wei cared about him day and night. She often fantasized that at some point he would suddenly appear in front of her, and then they would walk side by side on the field path, and she did not know when she felt herself become sad and cautious.
Until one day, she saw him on the basketball court at school. It was a Friday afternoon, Lin Han came in from outside, and said to her who was washing her hair, "Didn't you go to the basketball court to see, there was a basketball game between us and the military academy, is there your little idol there?" β
After drying her hair, she took Lin Han to the basketball court, and sure enough, she saw him there. Passing, jumping, grabbing rebounds, and throwing the ball, his movements are capable and neat, and he deserves to be a soldier.
"Don't be on the wrong side, who are you facing?" Seeing her cheering for him, Lin Han twisted her.
"I do!"
After the game, she dragged Lin Han to the lounge to find him.
"We're a little bit of a good deal, okay?" Seeing Chang Wei, who was not angry, Lin Han looked helpless.
Sure enough, at the door of the lounge, Chang Wei saw them walking out at a glance.
Almost at the same time, he saw her, too.
"You didn't come to me," he said with a laugh.
"When you come to my territory, I have to do my landlord's friendship." Chang Wei pulled Lin Han over, "This is Lin Han." β
"Hello, my name is Xiao Jianfei, and we have met."
"Last year on the train." Lin Han was a little unnatural. She's like this when she's seen strangers.
Chang Wei remembered that he still didn't know his name.
"Today is the weekend, call your friend, I'm in for a treat." Chang Wei said boldly.
Xiao Jianfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Okay!" He said.
"Six o'clock, Juxian Hotel." Chang Wei thought for a while and said. "There's just a change of chef there, and the food is delicious."
Juxian Hotel is located to the west of the school, not far from the school. As soon as you walk into the yard, a pastoral scenery comes into view, rockeries, small bridges, flowing water, green spaces, and long corridors, which are covered by grape vines, which are full of bunches of grapes, and outside the corridor are peach trees and apple trees, and the trees are hung with peaches and apples, and the afterglow of the sunset shoots over, and the whole yard is filled with an autumn atmosphere.
When Chang Wei and the others came, Xiao Jianfei and his party were already sitting under the grape trellis, drinking tea with his two comrades-in-arms.
Xiao Jianfei came a total of three: two of his colleagues, one named Zhang Xinwei, the other named Yang Jun, Chang Wei also came three, Jiang Mingming and Xu Hui in the same dormitory, and Lin Han didn't go because he was busy taking the college entrance examination and had classes at night.
After some greetings, Chang Wei suddenly patted his head and forgot to order.
"I've ordered a few, you can order a few more of your favorite foods." Xiao Jianfei smiled.
"Go ahead and order, I'll do whatever I want." Chang Wei said to his two companions. "By the way, let the waiter bring a bottle of good wine"
Chang Wei is still down-to-earth and generous on the scene, and he belongs to that kind of person on the scene. This may have been nurtured by the family. Her father was the deputy director of the city office, and her mother was the deputy director of the city guest house.
Chang Wei has no feelings about the life of the army. She is not like Lin Han, who has spent some time in the army compound.
"Your military academy is very strict," she asked.
"It's stricter with non-commissioned officers, we're okay, at least we can come out at night." The instructor named Yang Jun said.
Chang Wei beckoned them to take their seats. She sat down next to Xiao Jianfei.
"How many years have you been here?" She asked them with a smile.
"Assigned after graduating from the military academy, the two of them came before last." Xiao Jianfei replied
Yang Jun smiled, "What?" Do you want to check your account or find us a partner? β
She was right by him.
"We're all single," said Mr. Zhang, who is shorter. He is a native of Anhui and has a little dialect.
"That's good! There are more beautiful women in our school, which one do you fancie, and I will match you up when the time comes. β
"Then we're going to toast you a few glasses today." They looked at each other and smiled.
"How are these two today?" She asked with a sip of water and a smile.
"How many people are in your dorm?" Yang Jun asked.
"Four people, and Lin Han, she wants to upgrade to a bachelor's degree, and she is studying, but she didn't come."
"The little girl is very motivated," Xiao Jianfei said.
"She is a great learner, she is the first in every exam, but she is not very sociable, and she usually avoids such occasions." Chang Wei seemed to have found a topic and began to gush, "We are high school classmates, if she hadn't been obsessed with Qiong Yao's novels in high school, she wouldn't know which undergraduate school she was in now," she shook her head. "Hey! It's all Qiong Yao's fault. Butβ"she turned," she said, "she's very high-spirited." β
"Hey-they were all harmed by Qiong Yao's novels," Yang Jun also sighed as she learned.
That night, Xiao Jianfei went to the front desk in advance to receive the bill, and when he left, he also specially asked them for a few small pastries, packed them, and "eat it as a supper" He handed it to Chang Wei. She was deeply moved.
The next few meetings were to invite a large group of friends to go on an outing or a small get-together. But they never had a chance to be alone together, and Xiao Jianfei seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. This made her a little helpless and a little annoyed.
After walking for about ten minutes, she came to the gate of the military academy, the two guards looked majestic and solemn under the reflection of the setting sun, she walked to the small sentry box next to her, "I'll look for Xiao Jianfei" was about to pick up the pen to register.
"They went for field training," said the guard.
"When did you leave?"
"I'm sorry, this ......," said the little guard.
Chang Wei shook his head in disappointment. The plan from a few days ago, the lines that were prepared, were all disrupted at this moment. She turned back, "Do you know when they're going to be back?" β
"I don't know," the guard said with a smile.
Leaving the military academy and returning to the dormitory, Lin Han and the others were discussing going to the mountains tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday, and the weather is fine enough to enjoy the scenery in the mountains.
Seeing Chang Wei walk in, "Chang Wei, are you going?" Lin Han asked her.
"Where?" Chang Wei said lazily
"Go to the West Mountain, it's good in the mountains this season."
"I'm not in the mood, you guys go."
"Oh......" several people in the dormitory said in a mischievous unison.
Chang Wei ignored it, picked up a book on the table and flipped it up.
"Shall we go by bike tomorrow or by shuttle?" Xu Hui asked.
"Riding a bicycle gives me more free time," Jiang Mingming said.
"What about more than forty miles?" Lin Han pursed his lips.
"We'll leave early tomorrow." Jiang Mingming said. "We'll go buy something to eat later, have a picnic at noon"
"I'll go home and get the camera later," Lin Han remembered the camera his brother sent.
The next day, the three of them walked early on the way to the mountains. The sun shines well, through the trees on both sides of the road, sprinkling dappled places, and there are not many pedestrians on the road. The three people are like three happy birds, and they stop to take pictures whenever they encounter a good scene. Stop and go, and when it is almost noon, you will reach your destination.
Here is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the east side of the mountain is a military barracks, in the green mountains and green trees, is a reservoir, the big can not see the edge, and the mountain is connected together, the green mountains and clear water. Like an ink landscape painting, it is no wonder that when the three of them saw it, they exclaimed excitedly in unison. It was autumn, and on the hillside, there were hawthorn trees, persimmon trees, and jujube trees everywhere. From a distance, on the terraced fields like chess pieces, there are sorghum and corn waiting to be harvested.
The three of them found a shady spot and spread plastic sheeting on a large, smooth stone.
"Lunch begins," Jiang Mingming said.
"Wait a minute, I'm tired. Can't eat. "Among the three people, Lin Han's physical strength is the weakest. She leaned against the stone, panting. "Please, bring the water."
On a small road in the distance, there was a loud military song.
"Is it the troops training?" Xu Hui saw a long group of soldiers walking on the road.
"Heyβ" Jiang Ming looked mysterious, "What happened to Chang Wei yesterday?" Sullen. β
"Knowingly asked" Lin Han drank the water and pursed his lips. "...... in Love"
"It's unbelievable that such a philistine actually fell in love with a soldier," Xu Hui shook his head.
"Don't talk about people behind your back." Jiang Mingming said with a smile.
"That's it," Lin Han took over, "Where is your usual upbringing?"
Xu Hui glared at them fiercely, "I just can't get used to her kind of person, it's unbearable." β
"What about you...... Settle on...... Who's wrong? Lin Han deliberately lengthened his tone.
Xu Hui looked at her, walked behind Lin Han, and hugged her, "I have a crush on you." β
"you!" Lin Han pushed her away, "Perverted"
"Two eldest ladies, let's eat, I'm so hungry" The chubby Jiang Mingming picked up a piece of bread and a piece of ham and ate it.
The three of them gathered around and ate happily.
Although it was already autumn, the afternoon sun was still a little spicy, and after eating, the three of them leaned against a big stone and fell asleep.
"Later, we'll go to the northern hillside to pick hawthorn," Jiang Mingming muttered with his eyes closed.
"I want to go to my villager's house to buy some mountain eggs, all natural." Xu Hui said.
"I don't want to go anywhere, I want to recharge my energy and get some rest." Lin Han took away the book that was clasped on his face and said to the two of them.
"You're hypocritical." Xu Hui said sarcastically.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you can go, I'll wait for you here."
"Leaving the organization and being trafficked, you are not responsible!" Xu Hui said.
The two of them giggled and walked towards the opposite hillside.
Lin Han was left alone, leaning on the big rock, holding the book to her face, she wanted to be confused, she was a planned and regular person, she knew the way back, with her current physical strength, it was difficult to support her home, so she had to take a good rest. There's still forty miles to go back.
In the afternoon, the mountain village was silent. There were no people in the fields, not even the birds in the bushes, only the leaves in the wind, making the sound of brushing, and time flowed quietly like the water in a small river.
I don't know how long it took, when Lin Han woke up, she heard a voice not far away, she looked at the sun overhead,
"It's probably past three o'clock," she thought to herself, but the two men had not yet been seen, and she became a little agitated.
She stood up and patted the soil on her body, and in an instant, she was startled, a big black dog was not far away, looking at her, she suddenly stood there motionless, and she was very scared, because she was frightened by dogs when she was a child, and she had an inexplicable panic and fear of dogs. She turned around and ran in the opposite direction quickly.
"Ah......h In her panic, she saw two figures running towards her, as if grasping a life-saving grass, and she grabbed the man's arm tightly. The dog barked wildly and was chased away by the two men.
Lin Han collapsed to the ground, her eyes were full of tears, and the fright just now made her unable to calm down for a long time. Just clutched the man's arm.
I don't know how long it took, but when she slowly calmed down, she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.
"Ah..... are you ....." Lin Han blurted out, even he didn't expect to see this person named Xiao Jianfei here.
He smiled and said nothing.
"I'm scared." After a while, Xiao Jianfei looked at Lin Han and said with concern.
"If you hadn't arrived in time, I'd have been scared to death." Lin Han said.
"Don't run when you encounter this situation in the future." The non-commissioned officer next to him said.
"Just you?" Xiao Jianfei asked.
"They went to the opposite hill." She said, remembering the two crazy girls in her heart.
"There are 90 minutes left, and we will leave for school on time at five o'clock." Xiao Jianfei raised his arm, looked at his watch, and said to the young non-commissioned officer.
"Alright, I'll go back to camp first." The non-commissioned officer saluted, turned and left.
Lin Han looked at Xiao Jianfei, and now there were only the two of them left.
"You can go back too, I'll be fine." Although Lin Han said this, he was still a little afraid.
"I'll also be a flower messenger for a while." As he spoke, he walked to the place where Lin Han was sitting just now, he picked up the novel that Lin Han had just read, and after flipping through a few pages, he closed the book and looked up at her.
"Are you reading this novel? He was a little surprised.
"It's the third time I've watched it, and every time I read it, I have a different feeling."
"When a person is angry, he never asks why he lives, he lives for the sake of living β for the sake of living a wonderful thing." Xiao Jianfei raised his hands behind his back and recited.
"You've seen it too?" Lin Han also asked in surprise.
He turned around, and the whole person was bathed in the warm autumn sun, and the smile made people's hearts flutter.
"I've only seen it once." He said.
"The first time I read it, it was the first year of junior high school, and it was boring and difficult to read at that time, but I read all the books at home, so I had to read them hard." Lin Han seemed to be immersed in the memories of his childhood. "At that time, my father was in the army, and my mother had to go to meetings and study at night, and it was just me and my brother. After finishing my homework, I held the book and read it, which was also to relieve my boredom. β
"What other books have you read?" Xiao Jianfei walked to a stone next to him and sat down, raised his head to look at her and asked.
"Let's put it this way, I've read about half of the world's famous books." Lin Han forgot the fear just now and said a little ostentatiously.
"I've also read Qiong Yao's novels." Xiao Jianfei asked with a smile.
Lin Han was stunned for a moment, looking at him, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
"Chang Wei told you." She suddenly realized, "This guy says everything, it's too bad a friend." β
"It's Qiong Yao's novel. The score was not enough, so I had to attend this accounting school. β
"You should be a writer." He said very seriously.
"That's what I thought too, or I wouldn't have a place to vent what was in my stomach." Lin Han found it very comfortable to chat with him, just like the warm sunshine of this autumn day.
They talked about Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind," Tolstoy's "War and Peace," Charlotte's "Jane Eyre," and ......
When Xiao Jianfei saw two swaying figures on the opposite hillside, he raised his wrist to look at his watch.
"I should go, you should go back early, remember that girls should never be alone in the wilderness."
He waved his hand and walked away.
