Daliang Mountain, it rained last night. The light of day darkened the village at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Xi also had a dream last night, she dreamed of the young man riding a horse again, but she still couldn't reach him, she couldn't see him clearly, she only knew that he had a scar on the left side of his face that seemed to have been bitten!

The dream was very short, she suddenly woke up, and found that her pajamas had been wet with cold sweat, she shivered, and sat in a daze. But the night was long, and it was as if she had dreamed for a century, and when she woke up the sky was already white......

Chen Xi turned on the light, and the light bulb, which was only ten watts, emitted a dim yellow light, shining on the girl's slightly pale face and the dark mud walls around her. If you look up, you can see the wide stone slabs of the roof and the horizontal beams.

Someone can find romance in the mud wall, and that is just the self-consoling sigh of a bored poet! Naturally, no one will see this mud wall woven with bamboo poles, there is no romance and poetry, only red

Two naked words: poverty!

People tend to yearn for the bustling metropolis of the southeast, and ignore the remote and quiet village of the southwest. Everyone always focuses on a certain actress's convex and backward figure, and naturally they can't see that there is a beautiful girl in the depths of the distant mountains, and she is far away.

Of course, many times, the ambition in the heart can only be hidden in the heart, and people will only laugh when they say it. In contrast, many people prefer those gaudy call girls......

A continuous coughing sound came, Chen Xi hurriedly got up, opened the muddy door, and stepped from this dim room across the hall into another dim room.

A mid-middle man sat on the edge of the bed, his big rough hand holding a glass of water with a small half cup of water, and he was silent and looked at a middle-aged woman lying beside him. She was pale, coughing and wheezing, with a little drop of water at the corner of her mouth.

Maybe the years have dried her years, maybe it's a long illness, and every time she coughs, there will be a deep wrinkle between her eyebrows. These are Chen Xi's parents, they are only in their early forties, but they look to be over fifty years old......

"Mom! How's it going? Chen Xi walked to the bedside, a little anxious.

"I've been coughing, I just took my medicine and I'm much better now." Chen Xi's father sighed.

Chen Xi frowned, every rainy day, her mother had to suffer a lot of torture. Her health was getting worse and worse.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry too much, you're going back to Chengdu today. It's time for the college entrance examination, you go back and do your homework with peace of mind, don't think too much, I'm an old problem, it's okay, don't be distracted, don't delay your studies for me. Chen Xi's mother said weakly, looking weak......

Chen Xi gritted his teeth and didn't speak, but tears kept rolling in his eyes, and then he couldn't help but fall......

She turned around, flicked up half a basin of hot water, soaked the towel in it, and twisted it dry. She walked to the head of the bed and carefully wiped her mother's face.

"Mom, you have a good rest, the water tank is empty, I'll carry water." He turned back to his father and said, "Look at Mommy. ”

Chen Xi put the towel on his father's hand, and then walked into his room, Su Xiaoying was still asleep, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth from time to time, maybe she had a good dream.

Looking at her, Chen Xi's mood was slightly soothed, she walked to the half of the mirror hanging on the mud wall, stood dumbfounded, looked at herself in the mirror seriously, and suddenly found that something was unreal.

She cupped her cheeks in her hands and felt a little dazed.

Last night's rain took away just a spring dream.

She can't do anything about her mother's illness, so how can she talk about dreams and distances? In an instant, she couldn't help but think of the strange dream of last night, like her dream, real and illusory, out of reach.

She settled down, and looked at herself in the mirror seriously, her big moving eyes were a little red, and she suddenly felt real again, she was still her, the vibrant, strong and unyielding Chen Xi! With a look of toughness on her face, she casually groomed herself and walked out of the room gently......

On a country road, a petite and thin figure, she carried a burden, and walked this wet dirt road. A gust of wind blew, and the iron buckets hanging from both ends of the flat pole creaked.

The road was very slippery, and the girl's delicate body couldn't help but sway slightly. She's the only one on this road! She listened to the chirping of birds, and she watched the roses blooming on the side of the road.

She thought: the mountain path, the birds and flowers, it turns out that I am not alone......

The May wind, very wet, hit Chen Xise's face, seemed to moisten her heart, and the petite figure gradually disappeared on this path, appearing next to an old well.

The well is not deep, but it is very clear, Chen Xi put down his burden, held a handful of water in both hands, and took a sip, the water was very sweet.

When people are praising the grandeur of the Three Gorges and how many cubic meters of water flow every day, they don't know that there is an old well in a small village hundreds of kilometers away, only a trickle, only enough for food, but it has multiplied here for generations.

Of course, I didn't know that there was a girl from the Yi family, who was carrying a load of water, and her petite figure was swaying and jolting forward on the rugged mountain road.

Compared with those rouge vulgar fans who often appear in fashion headlines and make people judge, this beautiful and elegant Yi girl is even more moving.

"Yikes! Sister Chen Xi, you got up so early! ”

When Su Xiaoying woke up, the water tank was already filled with water, and Chen Xi was cooking on the fire.

"Xiaoying, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to Chengdu today, are you scared if you ride alone?" Chenxi looked up at Su Xiaoying, who was still yawning.

"Ahh Why, it's going to be the college entrance examination, how can you do it if you don't go back, didn't you say that you want to take the entrance examination to a good university? Su Xiaoying suddenly became much clearer and asked puzzled.

"Mom is sick, I have to take care of her, Dad can't be busy for a while!" The morning light was a little gloomy.

"Did you just give up?"

"It doesn't matter if you give up or not, you can study at home, you don't have to be at school, just take a leave. Besides, after two days, my mother's condition will be relieved, and I will not be too late to go back to school! ”

"Auntie's condition, is it serious?" Su Xiaoying asked nervously.

"I had a cough last night, I just took medicine in the morning, and now I'm resting!"

"I'll take a look."

"Don't go to the old man's house, let her rest for a while, toss all night, I'm tired, cook the food, and call them again." Chen Xi put a few sticks of firewood into the fire and burned vigorously. It's just that her gaze is more determined.

Su Xiaoying held her chin and looked at the fire, not knowing what she was thinking. She has been here for two days, and she has had a very happy and down-to-earth time.

Life here is very monotonous and boring, not as colorful as Chengdu, but Chen Xi's family treats her very well and does not treat her as an outsider, especially when she eats, the family is around the fire, and she feels very warm. And it's quiet, the air is good, she has a relaxed life and gets a good night's sleep every day.

This is not available in Chengdu.

It's just that Chen Xi's mother is sick, I don't know why, she is very sad, and she doesn't know what to say for a while, but she prays silently in her heart, hoping that her aunt can recover as soon as possible......

"Xiaoying, do you know that people always have to face choices, and choosing the same means losing another." Seeing that Su Xiaoying didn't speak, Chen Xi spoke.

"I don't understand!" Su Xiaoying didn't know why.

"For example, I am studying in Chengdu, and my parents can't be around when they are old. I'm okay, I can go home to visit my parents in three or two months," Chen Xi paused and said, "In our village, many husbands and wives have both gone out to work, leaving the elderly and children, and some will not even come back for a few years." In order to live, I have to do it as a last resort, but no matter how I choose, my heart hurts. ”

"Chen Xi, I understand what you said, you are, you are worried about your aunt's body!"

"Hmmm! Mom and Dad are getting older and older, just one of my daughters, I don't serve them, who comes, just nest in this ravine, doomed to have no interest, I have to go out! Ay! ”

Su Xiaoying can't answer this question, maybe many people can't answer it.

"Sister Chen Xi, give me a set of clothes from your Yi family, I have seen the people in your village wear them in the past two days, it is so beautiful!" After a long silence, she changed the subject.

"Good! When you go back, you take a set back, anyway, we are about the same body, and you can wear it well. Chen Xi smiled and said.

"What is almost the same, you are much thinner, I am fat, how can you have a good figure!" Su Xiaoying exclaimed, in fact, she was not fat at all, she just had a round face and looked cute.

"You! Isn't it easy to lose weight? Exercise more is it. Like a lazy pig all day long, it's no wonder that he's so greedy and not fat. Chen Xi deliberately teased.

"Okay, you dare to say me!" As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Chen Xi's waist.

"If you do this again, beware that you can't get married!" Chen Xi's face was a little flushed.

"You can't get married, still talk about me, still talk about me!" The two girls began to fight, causing a burst of laughter......

The sky was overcast, the clouds were rolling, the wind was blowing, the trees were swishing, and only the roses in the corners of the walls, no matter how the wind swayed, remained silent, fiddling with charming smiling faces.

Next to the rose, there is an old house, which is Chen Xi's home.

At this moment, the family is around the fire pit, the fire is burning vigorously, a pot is hanging from the fire, and the vegetables in the pot are steaming hot, and it is already lunch time.

Su Xiaoying ate very deliciously, because there was her favorite flavored meat in the pot. Chen Xi chewed slowly, his brows were tense and loose.

"Xiaoying, eat more, you still have to take a long time in the car, come to your aunt's house, don't see outside!" Chen Xi's mother was very kind and said softly, just looking at her face, she was still a little pale.

"Auntie, it's delicious! I didn't treat myself as an outsider, when you are free, go to Chengdu, go to my house as a guest, and I will also treat you well. She said as she didn't forget to clip a piece of meat for herself.

"Good! Good! We'll go when we're free. Chen Xi's father smiled, they liked this playful and cute girl very much.

Only Chen Xi remained silent......

"Xiaoxi, what's wrong? You have to eat more, it's a long way to go! Father Chen looked at her and was a little worried.

"Dad! Mother! I don't plan to go back today, and I'll go back when my mother gets better! She wanted to mention it after dinner, but her father asked and said truthfully.

"You ......" Father Chen's eyes widened!

"Dad, I thought about it, let's go to Beichuan together today, take my mother to the hospital for a check-up, my aunt's house is there, it's also convenient to take care of, I can't drag it out, my mother has been eating herbs for a long time, and it doesn't work, it's time to go to the hospital to see." Before his father could finish speaking, Chen Xi hurriedly said.

"Girl, what are you worried about, I told you, I'm fine, it's okay, it'll be fine after a while, you can go to school with peace of mind, your dad is here, don't worry!" Mother Chen pointed to the bowl in her hand, "Look, my food is fragrant!" ”

"Mom! No more fighting, I've already called my aunt, and besides, you haven't seen each other for a long time, haven't you? "Chen Xi has made up his mind, and it is difficult to change it.

"You kid, Xiaoying is with you, how can you let the family go back alone!" Father Chen continued to speak.

"Oh! Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I'm a big girl, it's okay! Just let Sister Chen Xi accompany you for a few days, your family has been getting together less and leaving more, and when Auntie is better, there will be no delay when you go back to school. Su Xiaoying continued to eat after speaking, this is a simple girl, what she wants to say, it is very intimate.

"Oh well! It's just wronged you girl! Let you go back alone. Xiaoxi is really. Mother Chen said with a little reproach.

"Auntie, it's really okay!" Su Xiaoying muttered while not forgetting to use chopsticks to take a bite of rice into her mouth.

The firewood continued to burn vigorously, the dishes in the pot were steaming, and the family gathered around the hot pot, enjoying themselves......

Halfway up the mountain, there is a dirt road, very wide, but uneven, twisting and turning, like a golden rope, winding around the mountain, rugged for many miles. This road, one end to the west, as if returning to the past, and the other to the east, as if leading to the future!

There were four people standing on the side of the road, Chen Xi was holding his mother, and his father was beside him, silent. Only Su Xiaoying was singing, the moving Scottish ballad. They have been waiting here for a long time......

After a while, a horn sounded, and when I looked up, a minibus came slowly in the bumps, and after a while, it stopped in front of the four people.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving, you have to take care of your health." Su Xiaoying said to Chen Xi's parents, then walked towards Chen Xi and hugged him hard: "Sister Chen Xi, I'm waiting for you in Chengdu!" ”

"Okay, stay safe, don't doze off all the time!" Chen Xi said with concern.

Su Xiaoying reluctantly got into the car, turned around and shouted, "Uncle and aunt, I will come back to see you when I have time!" ”

The minibus shook for a while, and Su Xiaoying left. The body brought a gust of wind, and the group of roses on the side of the road also swayed with the wind, as if they were saying goodbye. It's just that the two girls didn't expect that one of them went east and the other went west, and the roads were destined to be different. This farewell, when we meet again, we are already different!

With Su Xiaoying's departure, Chen Xi's family is also about to go to Beichuan, perhaps, the group of thorny roses is not to bid farewell to Su Xiaoying, but to say goodbye to Chen Xi's family. Because the direction of the wind blows, it is Kitagawa!

And today, it's 05/11......
