On the first day of Labor Day, Liang Chen completed all his homework for the first time, which really made Du Ruo staggered, Liang Sanxiao's motto was that summer vacation homework was not interesting to do on the last day? He often used this to fool Du Ruo.

On Xue Ji's birthday, Liang Chen got up early, Shihe doesn't rush to the market today, there are only two buses at nine o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon a day, even if it is a labor festival, it is the off-season for drivers who solicit customers.

The sun in May is only half the distance from the Tropic of Cancer, and after leaving the school, Liang Chen's feeling is not much, and he will open his eyes before seven o'clock. Du Ruo appeared at the door of Liang Chen's house on time at half past seven today, riding his uncle's electric donkey.

"You really don't need me to go with you." Du Ruo asked.

"No, you don't." Liang Chen replied while wearing a helmet.

"That's fine." Du Ruo started the car and asked Liang Chen again: "You are wearing such a sassy bag today, you won't want to confess!" ”

Liang Chen deliberately dressed up today, a white Nike jacket with white slacks and white board shoes, Liang Chen was dressed up like a white dragon horse, this is Du Ruo's ridicule.

"It's not good for you to drive your car and know so much." Liang Chen's tone was very much like the spy leader of the Central Unified Bureau, ruthless.

A few kilometers away, Du Ruo arrived in less than five minutes, it was still early, Liang Chen remodeled his hairstyle in the barbershop, and when he arrived at Shihe, Xue Ji had been waiting for a long time. Xue Ji came to Shihe alone, and the things for her birthday had been purchased yesterday, and she came to Shihe today just to pick up the cake and pick up Liang Chen "by the way".

In the cake shop, Liang Chen asked for a cup of milk tea and a small bread, and he didn't dare to eat when he wanted to take a car to Shihe in the morning, but when he arrived at the cake shop, his stomach was rumbling. When Liang Chen ate the cake, Xue Ji's eyes kept staring at him, and he choked a little.

"Why are you looking at me," Liang Chen took a sip of tea and smoothed down the cake that was choking in his throat.

"I'm thinking about the dream I had yesterday." Xue Ji pursed her lips and said softly.

Liang Chen pulled a piece of paper on the table, wiped his mouth, lifted the cake on the table and the lantern in the big pocket, and replied as Xue Ji walked: "What a dream." ”

"I dreamed that someone gave me a lantern." Xue Ji looked back and seemed to see through everything about Liang Chen.

"You're daydreaming." Liang Chen said with a smile, he estimated that Du Ruo had leaked his secrets.

Liang Chen's gift is a lantern, of course, it is not known in Xue Jiao's dream, Du Ruo, a fool, posted a video of himself writing on the lantern in the circle of friends, and the fool can also see that the word is Xue. On the bus to Ruiyun, Liang Chen and Xue Ji sat in the last row, but Liang Chen suddenly remembered the dream he had when he was a freshman in high school, it was also this red bus, and it was also Xue Jiao, but he was saying goodbye to her.

Liang Chen looked at the houses and trees flying outside the window, he was a little superstitious about Zhou Yin, and unconsciously smiled stupidly.

Xue Ji fell asleep leaning on the seat in the front row, she got up at six o'clock in the morning, the sun was rising from the hill opposite her house, Xue Ji didn't forget to send a photo to Liang Chen to remind him to get up early. Ruiyun's road is much better than Liang Chen's hometown, a little bumpy, but most of the cars are driving on asphalt roads, and there is a little less strange scenery between Shihe Road, and Liang Chen's heart is a little more stable.

The red bus stopped at the bridge of Ruiyun, there were many people on the street, the cars going to Shihe were outside the bridge, Liang Chen saw Zhou Yin playing with his mobile phone at a glance in the window, and there was a boy next to her, Zhou Sang's height and a mature face, no matter how you look at it, you don't think he is young. Liang Chen waited until the people in front of the car finished getting off before waking Xue Jiao, she shook her head and sobered up for a while before leading Liang Chen out of the car.

Seeing the stranger, Liang Chen was somewhat restrained, and he followed behind Xue Ji with a cake and a lantern.

The man next to Zhou Yin spoke first, "Hello, Ma Lei." ”

Liang Chen pointed at Zhou Yin and replied generously, "Hello, Liang Chen, the two of them are high school classmates." ”

"Coincidentally, the two of them are junior high school classmates."

The two men knew each other.

Xue Jiao's hometown is not on Ruiyun Street, and she has to transfer another car. Ruiyun is the same as Sui'an every 258, today's car is okay, Liang Chen and the four of them caught up with a van that had already been overcrowded, which is common in the countryside. Xue Jiao had good luck today, after the four of them got into the car, the driver started the car, in fact, he could also stuff two or three more people in.

Ruiyun's road is quite straight, even the small road in the countryside Liang Chen didn't feel bumpy, only occasionally one or two sharp bends, he had to hold on to the window frame to resist the gravity of a few people next to him.

Liang Chen was relieved after ten minutes, a man and two women sat in front of the gate of Xue Ji's house, talking and laughing, Xue Ji and Zhou Yin walked up briskly in front, Liang Chen and Lao Ma were carrying things in the back, chatting without a word.

Liang Chen and Ma Lei almost understood the past and present lives of the two in the car, and twenty minutes was enough for two men to cross the shallow ditch of strangers. Lao Ma is a scholar in Puzhou Middle School, different from a genius boy like Liu Bingjian's cousin, he claims to be a black stone that has been developed to the limit, no matter how he polishes it, it is difficult to become a beautiful jade, there are too many jaw-dropping geniuses in Puzhou, but a geek like Liang Chen who can still rank among the best is also rare in Puzhou.

Liang Chen asked Lao Ma outside the door about the three people who had gone upstairs, and Lao Ma was not familiar with the three people who were chatting and laughing in front of the door, and in his impression, he only vaguely remembered that the girl in the khaki dress was married.

Xue Jiao's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is very simple, and the so-called coming-of-age ceremony does not seem to be particularly popular in China, this is just the result of the invasion of Western cultural trends. If married, the girl will braided her hair to the top of her head and inserted it with a hairpin to indicate her adulthood and belonging. In ancient times, when boys were twenty years old, they would be crowned, and the crown ceremony was mostly presided over by their fathers, and at the same time, designated dignitaries would be invited to crown the men three times, to show that the man had the right to govern people, serve the country, and participate in sacrifices. The crown ceremony is actually similar to the funeral ceremony, which is to coil the hair into a bun called "knotting", and then put on a hat.

Liang Chen pondered carefully, it seems that the ancient Chinese coming-of-age rites for men and women are more scientific, girls are not precocious to boys, and women are earlier? The postponement of the crowning of boys is closer to nature, and the eighteen-year-old in the West is just an adult in the legal sense, and the adulthood of men is never because of age.

Xue Jiao is a real left-behind child, her parents are away, and only her grandparents are at home, although she is no longer a child. Her grandparents also went to Chongqing to see a doctor before the May Day holiday, and she was the only one left in the family who lived freely.

In the home where freedom was declared, Xue Jiao and the seven of them had a legitimate and popular birthday party with no adults, and the seven of them were crowded in the not very spacious kitchen of Xue Jiao's house, washing, cutting and frying seemed to perform their duties, but it was a mess. The large number of people has become an obstacle, Xue Jiao, Liang Chen and the seven of them were busy from eleven o'clock to noon before eating, this meal really only became an atmosphere, the drink was drunk, and there was still more than half of the food left.

After cutting the birthday cake upstairs, several people played Three Kingdoms Kill cross-legged on the balcony, betting on the fruit cream cake that had been dismantled. Several people won and lost each other, Liang Chen lost to Xue Jiao's father-in-law, his traitor, after killing the thief, he committed suicide by throwing the card very interestingly, and the cake was quickly eaten.

Liang Chen leaned on the tiled guardrail and digested the somewhat sweet cake, and the distant mountains as far as the eye could see seemed to suit his taste more than the cake.

The hill in the distance of Xue Jiao's house is very peculiar, two mountain bags of different heights and sizes on the left and right sides are towering, like a saddle and like a hump, the noon sun just hangs in the middle of this peak, looking upstairs, the sunlight seems to be a layer of gold leaf for the peak, so solemn and sacred, this mountain should live a fairy, Liang Chen thought in his heart.

Brother Ma explained that it was called Ma'anshan, and the two hills were originally flush, and according to the old people, the hill on the left was blown up by a group of bandits with explosives during the Republic of China.

A few people looked out the window at the fascinating hill scenery, and seven people took the idea of leaving home. The sentence of Wangshan running a dead horse has been verified again, as if the seven people on the hill in front of them have walked for a long time, and in the middle of the road, a man and a woman were abducted by the phone, and finally only the first five people are still moving forward.

The mature old brother Ma walked in front to lead the way, and Liang Chen and Xue Ji were behind. When Liang Chen couldn't see the sun, they reached the foot of the mountain. There is a stone paved path on the hill, the old horse brother said that there were really gods in Ma'anshan, his grandmother told her when she was a child, the people in the village saw with their own eyes that a golden horse flew out of the hill on the left, and walked away on the clouds, and the group of bandits was probably looking for the golden horse hidden in it.

Liang Chen and Xue Ji walked slower and slower, and unconsciously opened a distance with Zhou Yin and the three of them, the shade of the trees on the left and right swayed in the breeze, like swaying water waves, the birds in the forest were also constantly chirping, there was a loose sound on the bluestone road, the cicada noise forest was quiet, the birdsong mountain was more secluded, and the two of them sat and rested on the bluestone halfway up the mountain.

Xue Ji looked at Liang Chen, and suddenly remembered the birthday wish he remembered last night.

"Hey! I'm eighteen years old, can I write words? Xue Ji asked.

"Ancient men are twenty years old and crowned with words! Most of the women are not interested in words. Liang Chen replied very uninterestingly.

"Then I have to show one!" Xue Ji gritted his teeth and said proudly.

"Of course Miss Xue Yang, who is unparalleled in the world, can." Liang Chen smiled, as if a father was indulging his daughter's willfulness.

"Then you can help me think of one." Xue Ji said very rhythmically, like a football formation, and there was a pause in two, two, three.

After Liang Chen thought for a moment, he clapped his hand and said, "You are called Xue Yizhi, and your surname is Xue Yiyi." ”

"Xue Yifu." Xue Ji repeated, full of disgust. "I remember your name is Liang Sanxiao!"

"That's right! Isn't it a good match. Liang Chen smiled happily.

"Then I'm going to call Xue Sanxiao, you call Liang Yixiao, and it sounds so stupid."

"However, Liang San has been laughing at me for a long time, and this is what Old Man Li gave me!" Liang Chen hesitated, "You see that your name Xue Sanxiao is not good, and my name Liang Yiluo is not worthy, you have a feeling of great wisdom and foolishness when you call Xue Yixiao, and it also rhymes with Xue Zhiqian's name, my name is Liang Sanxiao!" It sounds like Tang Bohu is the same height. ”

Xue Ji was confused by Liang Chen's weird logic, and she repeatedly recited "Xue Yizhi, Xue Yizhi" in her mouth, and she felt that the charm was endless.

"We have to go, otherwise, with Zhou Yin's mental creativity, we can have a child in the future."

······

The two of them were only half a minute late, and Zhou Yin and the three of them had been waiting for a full quarter of an hour in the Ma'anshan Bandit Cave, Zhou Yin saw Liang Chen and Xue Jiao coming, and laughed evilly and teased: "I said that the two of them are secretly doing something behind our backs." ”

"Your sentence is obviously a sick sentence! You have to change it well, otherwise it will be troublesome if it becomes a language habit. Liang Chen changed the topic in an educational tone, and as he spoke, Liang Chen climbed the small steps on the cliff wall to the high platform of the bandit cave.

Liang Chen, who climbed up, didn't forget to glare at Zhou Yin in retaliation, he picked up Xue Ji under the hole, and followed the old brother to walk inside.

The Bandit Cave is no joke, it turns out that there is a group of bandits living in it. The bandit cave can not come up, the flat ground under the hole is two zhang high from the original entrance of the hole, only the bandits who guard the hole can come up by putting down the escalator, here is the last base of the bandits, three sides of the cliff, the terrain is dangerous, there are deep wells leading to the outside of the mountain in the cave, can be defended and retreated.

The dark, damp bandit cave smells of bat, but it's the only way to the top of Ma'anshan. Walking along the cave wall, a beam of sunlight from the main cave of the bandit leader spreads through the square hole in the roof of the cave into half of the room, and only here can you enjoy the warmth of the sun.

The old horse brother found the wooden ladder to climb up in the house, and when he got it to the sun, Liang Chen sighed with some regret, the wooden ladder had rotted, leaning on the square hole hole, a few pieces of wood fell down, Liang Chen was by no means without a sense of adventure, but he was indeed a person who was unwilling to risk his life, the five of them were completely unanimous, and after visiting the bandit cave a few times, they went back to the house, and they couldn't go to the top of the mountain, they naturally didn't want to stay in the cave full of nausea for a long time,

When going down the mountain, Liang Chen and Xue Ji carved the names of Liang Sanxiao and Xue Yi on the left and right sides of the bluestone they sat on, Liang Chen despised the stupid thing when he was ten years old, but he did it stupidly when he was seventeen years old, and the two who went down the mountain half a minute late were inevitably teased by Zhou Yin again, but Liang Chen did not fight back with a smile this time, let her go!

When he returned to Xue Ji's house, his family's big clock had already reached four o'clock, and Liang Chen couldn't catch the last train back to Sui'an, but he still had to go, he and his mother promised to go home tonight, the wind was very tight these days, I don't know who spread the rumors of Liang Chen's early love, coupled with Liang Chen's actions in the past two days, his mother has begun to suspect him.

Liang Chen, who was not in the right shadow and was still slanting, hurriedly left, the night of May gradually fell late, and when Liang Chen went home, the sunset had receded to the bottom of the mountain, leaving only a layer of golden glow against the clouds, and the clouds were like the distant mountains of Xue Ji's house.

There is no moon tonight, Liang Chen is lying on the recliner of his own dam, counting the starlight one by one, and smirking involuntarily from time to time, he repeatedly looked at the photos taken by Xue Jiao on his mobile phone, she hung the lantern on her bedside, the bright yellow light shined Xue Jiao's name, her nostrils touched the lantern quietly, she was more like a Bodhisattva in the Western Buddha country, bathed in the light of Buddha, only Liang Chen admired alone, the girl who wrote Xue Yi Idiot under the red lantern.

There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and the three smiles are in vain. As long as Liang Chen knew it, he counted enough fourteen stars and hid his secret in the starlight hundreds of millions of years ago.
