At six o'clock, the sky was already bright, but most people should still be in bed at this time.

The air in the mountains is particularly fresh, and there is even a cool and sweet taste in the lungs when inhaled.

Graphite warmed up a little in his own courtyard, today's goal is to run 20 kilometers of mountain village road, for an ordinary person, this is already a great challenge, for graphite, this is also the limit that he will never try before, but now, he feels that he can challenge.

After the warm-up, he felt like he was at his best.

Graphite walked through his own small bamboo forest, through the village houses, along the country road, brisk, relaxed and happy, ran out of the village, and then kept running along the winding mountain road.

The trail is lined with vegetation, sometimes large pine forests, sometimes cedar forests, and also large bamboo forests.

The road was foggy in the morning, the weeds on both sides were still hanging with dewdrops, the early mountain birds were also chirping, and the rhythmic running of graphite disturbed them, and these alert little ones hula and fluttered their wings and flew together into the depths of the woods.

Graphite gulps greedily breathing the fresh air of the mountains, carefully experiencing the various feedback brought by exercise to the body, and feeling the great changes in his body compared to the past.

When he easily reached the five-kilometer goal, he found that he was still breathing smoothly and long, his heart was smooth and strong, and his mind was very clear, but his body was slightly hot, as if the cells of his whole body were beginning to be active, and the so-called 20-kilometer challenge seemed to have become simple and easy all of a sudden.

At the time of ten kilometers, he felt that his body was still full of energy and was at ease, according to the original plan, he should have turned back at this time, and it happened that the whole journey was twenty kilometers.

But now it seems that the original plan was a little too conservative, so he temporarily changed his plan and ran at a constant speed of 20 kilometers, and his goal was suddenly expanded to 40 kilometers, which is the standard schedule of an international marathon.

From an ordinary person who has never trained to step into the mileage of the international marathon, he is going against the sky.

On the winding mountain road, he ran forward like the wind, with the morning sun and the morning sun, against the breeze and mist, under the gaze of the and squirrels......

Soon, he ran twenty kilometers away, and the feedback from his body refreshed his perception of himself, and it was clear that this body that had been greatly strengthened by the cell body was already extraordinary.

When he got here, he stopped running forward, and after running a little longer he reached the town of Meren, so he turned and began to turn back, the return journey was a winding road up the mountain, and the challenge he would face was more difficult than the downhill.

But now, he has a huge amount of confidence in his body.

At the moment, he is like a robot equipped with a motor, and like a 250CC mountain motorcycle, along the winding mountain road, running at a constant speed, suddenly roaring, whistling, with billowing dust and smoke, striding meteors to measure every inch of land under his feet, and running home in one go.

He finally broke out in a sweat, his heart was racing, and his breathing was getting a little rapid.

But he vaguely felt that this might not be the limit, his body was still adapting, and the cells might have bigger surprises waiting for him.

The result was not only ideal but terrifying, the whole course was forty roads, and it was a mountain road, it took an hour, and the limit still seemed to be unknown, the international marathon was probably not known, a new world record was born, and in the early morning, there was an Asian who had broken the record to an unimaginable level.

……

After breakfast, he went to take a shower, and his body and mind were happy.

After that, he sat down to make a pot of tea, and silently thought about what was going to happen next......

Today, he plans to drive to Meilian Town, and he plans to buy some rapeseed and seedlings to come back, and he also has to buy some necessary food and daily necessities.

He took stock of the savings in his hand.

When they divorced, the mortgage house shared by the two was given to Yu Lin, not because he was generous or because he still loved Yu Lin, but when the two of them sat down to really talk about divorce, Yu Lin insisted that the house must belong to her, otherwise she would not sign. Perhaps, Yu Lin planned that the two of them would continue to stalemate, or maybe she really wanted to compete for real estate to rely on, but neither of these possibilities was important to Graphite, he couldn't stay for a moment, and he couldn't hold on.

By this time, earthly love and marriage have been all over the place, the love of the past has long since dissipated, and love and vows have become hostility and silence.

Graphite Tie signed her name on the final property division agreement with a blushing face, Yu Lin also signed her name on the agreement with trembling hands, and when she finally got everything she wanted, she dripped the last tears that Graphite saw, and the tears soaked the paper-thin divorce agreement.

Before leaving, Graphite's face seemed to be very calm, but who knew that he had actually cut his heart like a knife at that time, for himself, for Yu Lin, and for those youth that had passed.

That tear spot seems to be covered with the shallow mark of time, almost imperceptible, but shocking!

……

Graphite calculated that he still had some money in his hand, 20,000 yuan in cash and the funds in his stock account, adding up to 70,000, together with the car, which was all his belongings for 27 years.

His original idea was to return to his hometown with the money, and he could last as long as he could, and finally settle in the ground and bury his bones.

The only thing that made him worry and worry was his relatives, he didn't know how to tell his mother and sister about it, and in the end, he only planned to leave a suicide note on his deathbed to tell his relatives.

But now, all these ideas and plans are gone.

Now, his life has been rejuvenated, his life has taken a strange turn, and he has returned to this land and set sail again.

This time, he bid farewell to the immaturity and youth of the past, and bid farewell to the mediocrity and humility of the past.

With the inexplicable sorrow and vicissitudes of those untouchable years, with a slight trembling and longing for the unpredictable future, he set sail again with a kind of piety and gentleness to reincarnate as a human being.

……

Before leaving, Graphite pushed open the door of consciousness of the star spirit and went in to take a look.

He was surprised to find that the star spirit at this time was no longer the original glutinous rice dumpling, in the dark underground rock depths, the star spirit's earlier tiny glutinous rice dumpling body was like a sky full of stars at this time, covering the entire underground rock formations, they seemed endless, countless, widely spread in the underground depths of dozens of square kilometers, between the rock layers, are tirelessly collecting the nutrients they need.

What a wonderful life! Scattered at will, tangible and intangible, like frost and snow, bright like stars......

Graphite sighed in his heart!

He left quietly as if he hadn't been there, not to be disturbed, not to leave a trace.

……

Seeing that the time was almost up, Graphite left the house.

The sun is already rising, the autumn sun is warm and pleasant, but not hot, it is the most comfortable season of the year, at this time, the graphite guide serpentines down the winding mountain road, towards the town of Meilian outside, surrounded by frost and red, green mountains and fields, lonely and uninhabited.

Graphite held the steering wheel with one hand, looking at the road ahead, and the wind outside the window poured in from time to time, blowing his messy hair like a tumbling wheat wave, undulating.

At this time, Zhou Yanying's song "that person" was playing in the car stereo.

"I've loved someone, I've hated someone...... I want to live my life with that person, just like that...... I want two people to have a complete fate...... Maybe in a hurry, in a panic ... to understand..., to clean up the fragments that belong to oneself or not, the earth is desolate......"

When he heard "the earth is desolate", he was defenseless, his eyes suddenly became hot, and his chest seemed to be hammered by something.

In an instant, he suddenly felt empty in his heart, only to feel that the road ahead in the heavens and the earth was long, and he was left alone, like duckweed, and he had no support from then on......

All of a sudden, the deepest grief that had been buried in the deepest part of my heart suddenly surged up.

In the past six months, whether he has suffered the betrayal of love or the death threat of a terminal illness, he has endured it so far, and has never shed half a tear, but at this moment, the simple words "the earth is desolate" seem to have touched the deepest pain in his heart, and in an inadvertent moment, tears finally couldn't help but gush out, and suddenly filled his eyes.

He frowned vigorously and gritted the root of his teeth hard before he held back again, but his brow never loosened, as if he was afraid that as soon as he relaxed, those tears would not stop slipping down.

Since then, love has died.
