Xue Xinyan and I took the cable car down the mountain, during which her mobile phone kept ringing again, it was her mother and lady who called, and she hung up.

I looked at her and said, "That's not good, we'll be back today, your mother must be worried about you, or you can call her back." ”

Her face was crimson, her eyes were dark, as if her good mood had been ruined, and I took her hand and said, "Let's go get some food, and then go to the airport." ”

She didn't say anything, and at this time, her mobile phone rang again, she quickly answered the phone, and shouted hoarsely: "Don't you keep calling me, I'm such an adult can I still get lost?" You're really annoyed like this, you know. ”

The phone hung up, and then, the WeChat prompt sounded, it was a voice message, Xue Xinyan clicked on it, and the voice of the lady blaming came: "Daughter, my mother doesn't object to you playing in the mountains and rivers, and I don't care if you go abroad to play with your mother, but if you want to stay with that poor boy, my mother is very worried, I have already sent someone to pick you up, come back as soon as possible, good daughter, stay away from that kid, don't learn things without skills, seeing him with you, I won't be angry." ”

I don't understand why the noble lady rejects me so much, belittles me, and ridicules me, but I have always been firm in my heart, old witch, the more you stop me, hinder me, and calculate me, the more I will not bow to you.

Xue Xinyan clutched her phone tightly, her knuckles turned white due to overexertion, her whole body trembled slightly, and she replied to the lady: "You follow me? ”

"Good daughter, your mother is not at ease when you go out alone, isn't this also good for you."

"If you still treat me as your daughter, you should respect my choice."

"You just listen to your mother once, as long as you leave that poor boy covered in thorns, your mother will support you in whatever you do, so you can be a good daughter"

"Don't be delusional, I have my own life, I can't be controlled by others, Xiaotao is my favorite person, you don't want to break us apart."

"Oh, my good daughter, you come home first, mom is about to worry about you, everything will come back and talk about it."

I looked at Xue Xinyan, she was as green as a bamboo shadow, thin, swaying, standing there always with a temperament like an orchid, different, she seemed to be thinking about something, due to the noble lady's accusations, rejection, and bad words, Xue Xinyan was already angry to the extreme.

The weak are not weak, soft and strong, she replied coldly: "I will go back, but not now." ”

After saying that, he turned off his mobile phone and stuffed it into the delicate leather bag.

I looked at her with warm eyes, and whispered, "Xinyan, I'm sorry, for the sake of me having a lot of trouble with your mother, let's go back quickly, okay." ”

Who knew that Xue Xinyan changed her normal behavior, looked at me with sharp eyes and said, "The more she is like this, the more I won't go back." ”

At this time, I saw that behind the pancake stand, there were seven or eight tall strong men, wearing dark blue suits, a bit like the FBI of the United States, their eyes were cold, all of them were ready to attack, I thought to myself, this should be the person sent by the noble lady to pick up Xue Xinyan back.

I whispered to Xue Xinyan: "There are a few people behind you who are staring at the two of us, don't look back, follow me and walk forward slowly." ”

Xue Xinyan was terrified when she heard this, she squeezed my hand tightly, and said with a panicked expression: "What should I do then." ”

I looked around vigilantly and said, "Go first, look for a chance to get rid of them." ”

I pulled Xue Xinyan and walked forward quickly, my nerves were highly tense, Xue Xinyan's pink cheeks had turned pale, and there was a sparse footstep behind me, the voice became more and more urgent, and finally it was like running.

I yelled at Xue Xinyan: "Run"

The two of us are like wild horses off the leash, running in the cement road where people come and go, I don't dare to relax at all, holding Xue Xinyan's hand tightly, looking back from time to time, those strong men are moving very fast, getting closer and closer to the two of us, Xue Xinyan gasped for breath, her hair was messy, and the passers-by were curious to watch us run wildly, and the man in black behind him chased after him.

Some passers-by even took out their mobile phones to record this wonderful scene, and said loudly: "Is it a movie, it's too real." ”

I didn't have time to take care of it, the exit of the scenic spot was in front, and there were three or five police officers who maintained law and order at the door to check the documents, and I said loudly to Xue Xinyan: "There are policemen in front, let's run to the police." ”

I pulled her to the police with the last of my strength, and I quickly looked back to see that the men in black were gone.

The policeman looked at me in surprise and said, "What are you running, this is not a fitness place, don't you know how to abide by public order?" ”

I bent over and gasped for air, pointed behind me and said, "Police, police, comrade police, yes, there is a group of people chasing after us." ”

The police comrade opened his eyes wide, looked vigilantly in the direction I came from, and said: "There are quite a few people, but I didn't see anyone running this way, but the two of you, as if you were driven by a wolf." ”

At this time, Xue Xinyan also said anxiously: "Comrade police, there are really several people chasing us, and they are all wearing black suits, which is very obvious. ”

The police saw that our faces were red and nervous, so they took out a notebook on the table, wrote for a while, and said: "Okay, I will help you two pay attention, this scenic spot is full of surveillance, even if someone chases you two, they can't run." ”

Xue Xinyan and I were very happy when we heard this, but when I thought of that noble lady, I was angry in my heart, this old witch is really insidious, in order to prevent me from contacting Xue Xinyan, since she used this kind of indiscriminate means, in this harmonious society, she still wants to rob openly on the street, she really dares to take risks.

The police helped us register our information, name, address, ID card, etc., and then let us out of the scenic spot.

In the taxi, Xue Xinyan had a look of hatred and disgust on her face, and I comforted her and said, "Xinyan, you extinguish the fire, your mother didn't do this for you, the responsibility is on my side, let's go to the airport first." ”

She looked a little helpless after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, she looked at me and said, "You can't go to the airport, including the train station and the passenger station, there are my mother's eyeliner there, and if you go, you will definitely be discovered." ”

The taxi driver heard our conversation, stared at me in the rearview mirror, and asked softly, "Uh, where are you going?" ”

Xue Xinyan and I glanced at each other, both pairs of eyes were a little confused and overwhelmed, I thought to myself, I was supposed to go back today, and I would go to work normally tomorrow, it seems that my job as a warehouse manager is completely ruined, so I don't have to ask for leave from that gorgeous young woman.

Since the noble lady is ruthless and treacherous, using all means, Xue Xinyan is also angry, and she doesn't want to go back, then don't blame me for not being emotional, anyway, I came out to play, then have a good time, Shandong is a big land, picturesque, there are many former residences of celebrities in the past dynasties, and there are many famous monuments, all kinds of fresh snacks, and countless delicacies, so I simply observed it and then made a decision.

I said to the driver's eldest brother: "Master, you take the two of us to Qufu, the money will not be less for you." ”

Xue Xinyan looked at me with wide eyes and said, "You're crazy, what are you doing over there, don't you still have to go back to work?"

I touched her hair, looked at her dotingly and said, "Don't worry about me, we haven't had a good time together for so many years, this time I'll push the boat down the river, have a good time, and let your mother see, I, Wang Tao, am not the kind of person who compromises and is obedient." ”

Xue Xinyan didn't say anything more, she looked thoughtful, I comforted her and said, "When you've had enough, I'll send you back, I want to talk to your mother." ”

She had an incredulous expression, and then said with some worry: "What results can you talk to her, it's not that you quarrel as soon as you meet, I think it's good now, and you won't be upset if you don't see her." ”

The driver's eldest brother turned his head and asked: "Young man, do you really want to go to Qufu, if you go there, although it is not far, but there is still some distance, I advise you not to take a train or a car, it is very not cost-effective to take a taxi." ”

I thought after listening to it, the train station and the bus station have the eyeliner of the noble lady, and I must not go, I glanced at Xue Xinyan, who was extremely haggard beside me, and then I relented, looked at the taxi driver and said, "Master, it's okay, let's take a taxi, you go that way." ”

Taxis drive on the highway, the scenery on both sides is beautiful, the big rivers are flowing endlessly, sparkling, the distant mountains stretch out, the mountains are layered, and the grass is green.

Xue Xinyan fell asleep on the backrest, her face was full of tiredness, no wonder, she didn't rest well last night in order to watch the sunrise, seeing that she slept so sweetly, I was also a little sleepy, I hugged Xue Xinyan over, let her head rest on my lap, I leaned on the car door, and took a nap.

I dreamed of Sun Kai again, this time there are no high-rise buildings, no large glass windows, but in a gloomy and terrifying warehouse, the warehouse is full of lightning and thunder, wind and rain, the warehouse is a variety of cardboard box goods, like clothing and other things, Sun Kai is covered in blood, dragging a short stick in his hand, he is full of smirk, a pair of cold eyes staring at me deadly, and on the chair next to him, sitting Xue Xinyan, she was tied to the chair with five flowers, her hair is scattered, and her face is full of blood, There was not a trace of color in the empty eyes.

There was a thunderstorm, Sun Kai roared and said: "Wang Tao, your favorite woman is in my hands, what else do you use to fight with me, don't you care about her very much, come, save her." ”

After speaking, she picked up the short stick and smashed it on Xue Xinyan's back, she screamed in pain and struggled, her helpless expression was full of sadness.

When I saw this, I was instantly furious, my eyes breathed fire, but my feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and I couldn't take a step, I was even more angry, I wanted to cut off these legs, I shouted hoarsely: "Sun Kai, if you are a man, come at me, let go of Xinyan, don't threaten me with Xinyan." ”

After Sun Kai heard this, he burst into a shrill laughter, and then he looked at me coldly and said: "Wang Tao, you are a stumbling block on the road of my life, and no one can stop me from succeeding, including the person you love the most." ”

After speaking, the figures of Sun Kai and Xue Xinyan became more and more blurred, I yelled, my body twisted back and forth, trying to break free from the shackles that fixed me, but it was useless, their figures had already drifted away like air without a trace.

I was the only one standing alone in this cold warehouse, I hugged my head and cried, beat my legs, and shouted loudly: Sun Kai, you give Xinyan back to me, I agree to whatever you ask me to do, as long as you give her back to me, Sun Kai, Sun Kai....

After a violent shaking, I woke up, Xue Xinyan's worried expression appeared in front of me, and I tried to keep my eyes open, trying to distinguish the authenticity of this face.

"Xiao Tao, are you having nightmares again, have you dreamed of Sun Kai again?"

It was her voice, I came back to reality, my legs were stuffed under the co-pilot's seat, my head was held in my hands, and my eyes were a little numb looking at Xue Xinyan, after a while, I was completely awake, so I put her upstairs into my arms, touched her hair and said: "I don't know why, I have always dreamed of Sun Kai recently, and they are not very good pictures." ”

Xue Xinyan said softly: "Do you miss him, why don't you go to his side to see him, you two haven't seen him for a long time." ”

I comforted her and said, "I don't usually think much about him, but in the past two days, I can dream of him every time, so I'll call him later." ”

The taxi driver said, "Young man, it seems that the dream you just had was very scary, and you screamed and scared me." ”

I said apologetically: "I'm sorry, master, I don't usually do nightmares, by the way, how long will it take to get to Qufu." ”

"It's coming, it's going to be more than twenty minutes away."

The first feeling of Qufu is clean, sparse, full of novelty, compared with their own small city, the city has a deep sense of heaviness, although the contrast between the old and new buildings is obvious, but the cultural atmosphere here can be reflected in the ancient buildings, the reminder board in the middle of the highway, the flower bed in the corner of the park, the hometown of Confucius really lives up to its name, the golden mean, Confucian style, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and piety, the core of these Confucian thoughts, and it is still the flaunt of our compliance with learning.

It was getting late, but the light was still sufficient, I pulled Xue Xinyan to stroll on the streets of Qufu, the towering office buildings on the side of the road stood majestically, the adjacent buildings spread one after another, and on the clean and tidy sidewalk, there were a few fallen leaves lying there, as if the two of us were really walking towards the golden mean, which made people have infinite reverie.

I excitedly said to Xue Xinyan: "It's so beautiful here, clean and magnificent. ”

Xue Xinyan looked a little haggard, but still said with a smile: "Of course, the birthplace of culture is magnificent, and this is also a famous tourist city. ”

I looked at her tired expression, since I came down from Mount Tai, I haven't eaten, and the rest is not good, my face is full of tiredness, and I am busy and distressed: "Go, I'll take you to dinner." ”

We walked to the door of a dilapidated hospital with mutton porridge across the street, and I asked her for her opinion, but she just nodded lightly, and I pulled her into the shop.

There are not many customers in the store, the small shop area of more than 60 square meters is not large, but the decoration is ancient, the background wall of the mahogany bar, there is an inspirational quote of Confucius printed on the wall: Zhilan was born in the secluded forest, not to no one and not fragrant, the gentleman cultivates morality, and does not change the festival for poverty.

I inexplicably have an infinite affection for this city, the hometown of Confucius, Jerusalem in the East, this tourist city is influenced by history and culture, and even the shops on the street are dressed up with Confucian temperament.

The waiter came over with a smile on his face with the menu, and I took a look and said, "Two bowls of mutton porridge." ”

Then I stared at the menu for a while, and the dishes of this store completely represent the characteristics of Qufu, Shandong, such as Liuyi cold dishes, Confucian Eight Treasures, Qufu crispy pancakes, dry fried saury, fairy duck, Confucian Yipin pot and so on.

Xue Xinyan looked at me and said, "Two bowls of porridge are fine, don't order too much." ”

I handed the menu to the waiter, and she turned and walked away.

I said to Xue Xinyan with a guilty face: "Xinyan, since the two of us climbed Mount Tai until now, you have followed me and wandered around, and you haven't eaten a good meal." ”

Xue Xinyan said weakly: "Even so, I want to stay with you, I don't regret it." ”

She took out her mobile phone, turned it on, clicked on WeChat, and only listened to the prompt sound for a while before it stopped, Xue Xinyan frowned, staring at the mobile phone screen, all of them were voice messages sent by the lady, she clicked on one casually and listened, and the anxious and hoarse voice of the noble lady came from the mobile phone: "Xinyan, don't blame your mother, I'm all for your good, what can you get with that poor boy, he coveted our family's property, so he had a relationship with you, I won't give him a penny if I die, let him die as soon as possible, but you, My good daughter, no matter how much money my mother has, it is all left to you, you have to listen to your mother, you Brother Du, Du Chenyu, when he was very young, he followed his mother to fight the country, he was kind and talented, if you agree with his mother a hundred times, what I can't worry about now is your marriage, you are fooling around with that kid outside, you ignore the big business of our family, what position do you put your mother in. ”

The noble lady spoke quickly, and the voice message was a full minute, and she was crying, like kneeling down in a small town and begging for Xinyan's forgiveness.

After listening to this message, my heart was like a knife, and I clenched my fists tightly, when did I ever want to covet her for a penny, as early as before the old witch appeared, I fell in love with Xinyan, wishful thinking, why did she fall from the sky and win people's love.

Xue Xinyan saw that my emotions fluctuated a lot, her face was full of resentment and unyielding, she hurriedly turned off her mobile phone and stuffed it into her bag, held my hand and whispered: "Xiaotao, no matter what my mother says, don't take it to heart, I know that you didn't associate with me for money, my mother's nature is suspicious and suspicious, and Du Chenyu, I only regard him as an elder brother, and I don't mean to associate with him, can you understand me." ”

I was greatly moved after hearing this, and my heart hurt as if I had been cut by a knife, and I choked up and said: "Xinyan, you have to believe me, I will give you a happy and stable life, and I will not let your mother look down on you all the time." ”

After a while, the waiter brought two bowls of mutton porridge, steaming hot and fragrant, this kind of mutton porridge seemed to be very popular with the locals, and I saw several diners at the next table also order this, and drank it with a drunken face.

I took a closer look, this is the cooked mutton and mutton liver cut into thin slices, and then sprinkled with cooked rice porridge on top, when eating with meat to soak porridge, the porridge retains the aroma of meat, and the meat has the lightness of porridge, there is no trace of smell at all, and it is particularly delicious to eat.

Xue Xinyan gulped down, ate the entire bowl of meat porridge, and laughed at each other's embarrassment after eating.

I thought to myself, life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, the harder you work, the luckier you are, no matter how big the ups and downs in the future, I will not let go easily, especially the sweet girl sitting in front of me, lady, we will come to a long time.
