At eight o'clock in the evening, it was not yet dark in Dunhuang.

Chen Qiong has been feeling chest tightness since she ate those few pieces of mutton, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, so she couldn't stand it, so she took a lotus pink shawl and put it on after taking a shower, and ran down for a walk.

Slowly walked back and forth along the asphalt road from the research institute to the Mogao Grottoes, trying to dissipate the severe discomfort in his chest and throat.

Walking back and forth for more than half an hour, Chen Qiong, who was tired, originally wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep and rest, but looking at the sky that had gradually darkened, she temporarily decided to watch the sunset in the desert before going back.

When the sun began to prepare to settle on the horizon, Chen Qiong stopped, clasped her hands together, stopped to look at the end of the desert as far as her eyes could reach, the clouds on the horizon were dyed black, and the desert had become golden gold, she made a video call to her father Chen Jishan.

The half-white old man with a pair of round-framed glasses from the last century looked at the mobile phone lens with kind eyes, held the mobile phone for a long time to find the best light, and finally found it, immediately waved his free hand towards the camera happily like a child, and shouted his daughter "Little Niangyu" in Suzhou dialect.

Hearing the cordial hometown dialect and seeing her father, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Chen Qiong couldn't help laughing, and said in a soft Wu Nong soft language: "Daddy, eat a meal?" ”

Chen Jishan nodded again and again: "I've eaten it." Immediately, he began to ask his daughter if she was still suitable for Dunhuang, "Is it good to turn into a curved noodle field?" ”

Chen Qiong was slightly stunned, looking at Chen Jishan, who had aged a lot in an instant because of the loss of his wife, she didn't want Chen Jishan to worry anymore, she immediately smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm quite good."

Seeing that his daughter nodded and said something good, Chen Jishan also relieved his heart.

Chen Qiong glanced at the screen of her mobile phone, quickly reached out and clicked on the camera on the screen, and spoke quickly: "Dad, look at the sunset in the desert." ”

A little kid who can't wait to share the beauty with the people he loves the most.

The few inches of mobile phone screen becomes like an oil painting, the distant horizon divides the connected heaven and earth into two, the earth is dyed with the darkness of the night, and the sky is still carrying the last golden afterglow of the sunset.

Chen Qiong played, raised her head, raised her hand and pointed the camera at the moon in the sky that began to reveal her whole body: "What about this?" ”

"Today... I don't see the moon in ancient times, but this moon once looked like the ancients. Chen Jishan, who was on the rise, just finished reading the first two words, and quickly shook his head slowly to learn the ancients to sing, and the tune was also chanted by him according to the artistic conception, "If the ancients and today's people are like flowing water, they will see the bright moon together." ”

This is a matter of hand-to-hand for Chen Jishan, who is a pipa player.

As a daughter, Chen Qiong praised a few words, Chen Jishan only hobbby studied classical literature a few years ago, she knew that her father was looking for a sustenance for the grief of losing his wife, but in fact, this could not reduce the grief in her father's heart, after all, many articles and poems of the ancients were mourning his beloved wife.

When she is at home, she can talk and walk with her, and tease her childhood with the interesting things around her, which can distract some attention, but she can't be with her father all the time.

Looking at Chen Jishan's white hair added to the screen, and the wrinkles that quickly climbed up at the end of her eyes, Chen Qiong felt even more uncomfortable, in order to distract Chen Jishan's attention for a short time, she turned the camera and used the things in front of her to test Chen Jishan.

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to answer Dad, and you will laugh at me in turn, okay, I must find you a difficult question." Chen Qiong also laughed, the mood that had been low in her heart was also washed away by her family, in order to win back a game, she held her mobile phone and moved her steps in a circle, just after half a circle, she stopped moving, and the smile on her face gradually lost its vividness, she quickly turned the mobile phone lens back to the front camera.

Guan Ji saw Chen Qiong's frozen smile on his face, and stood in place a little at a loss, because he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to say anything casually, and he didn't dare to move easily.

Chen Jishan was not happy, and pretended to be serious and said: "I haven't seen it clearly, hurry up and take a look back, you are too tricky as an examiner, and you have to complain." ”

Chen Qiong raised her eyes and looked ahead, and helplessly bowed her head and explained to her father: "That's not an exam question, it's a person who works here, and he just got off work." ”

"That's right." Chen Jishan laughed embarrassedly twice, took a deep breath for a moment, sat upright, and was a little embarrassed with pride, "Then I'm sorry, little Niangyu, tonight is even if I win." ”

Chen Qiong, who was originally here, immediately grinned and agreed, feeling cold, she rubbed her arms, and began to walk back, and asked a few words about her grandmother's condition in Suzhou dialect in the middle, and asked Chen Jishan to pay attention to her body: "My good mother-in-law, is it okay?" Daddy, pay attention to your body. ”

Guan Ji also followed behind and walked unhurriedly, hearing the soft and glutinous Suzhou dialect that Chen Qiong rarely spoke, the fingers hanging on his side tapped twice rhythmically, and the whole person calmed down, and the impatience that wanted to go back quickly to write the report was also appeased unconsciously.

Suzhou dialect lives up to the reputation of Wu Nong's soft language.

"I'm really sorry for the front." After Chen Qiong finished talking on the phone, as if she remembered something, she stopped after hesitating for a while, turned her back and folded her hands in front of her mouth, and spoke to the person behind her in the moonlight, bowing her head slightly, showing her apologies, "I was on video with my dad, I didn't expect you to suddenly appear." ”

In her little impression, she still vaguely remembers that Seki didn't like to be suddenly pulled into an unfamiliar camera.

Guan Ji paused, looked at Chen Qiong in front of her with an apologetic face, she was wearing a white nightdress, the lotus root powder shawl on her shoulders almost wrapped her entire upper body, the almost two-meter-long shawl hung down to her calf even if it was folded, and the pearl hanging by the golden chain on her chest was also extremely eye-catching, and a few strands of hair that she grabbed with a ball scattered on her sideburns were scattered, and she hung her head and folded her hands in the moonlight.

As if he had discovered something, he walked directly after his gaze stopped on Chen Qiong for a while, and smiled: "It's okay, I didn't pay attention to it." ”

Guan Ji said happily for a long time: "The Bodhisattva is forever innocent here. ”

Chen Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her hand, turned around and walked just two steps before her face showed puzzlement.

Soon returned to normal, the desert wind at night made her clench her hands, and subconsciously opened her mouth to continue: "Bajie in Journey to the West calls Bodhisattva when he sees a woman." ”

Guan Ji just felt that Chen Qiong was very similar to a Bodhisattva statue he had restored in that particular action, and he didn't see a young and beautiful woman like Bajie, even if he was a monster, he was full of shouting female Bodhisattva.

Although he felt helpless, he was still amused: "Why are your teeth so sharp?" ”

Chen Qiong and Guan Ji glanced at each other, thinking that this man was repairing the murals, and most of the Dunhuang murals were Buddhist art, and the Bodhisattva was just a normal thing for him, knowing that it might be that she had misunderstood, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

In order to cover up some of her embarrassment, Chen Qiong said two words quickly and clearly when she passed by Guan Ji's side: "Good night." ”

Guan Ji watched Chen Qiong say "good night", and walked straight to the front with embarrassment, he also followed behind with a smile, and the revenge of the year came back a little bit.
