May is a thriving season! This season, flowers bloom and birds sing.

It's also a season of hope! It's also a season of changeable weather!

Immediately after a heavy rain, half of the sun's face appeared, and it finally jumped out of the layers of dark clouds and smiled.

In the middle of a mountain forest, there is a winding dirt road, very wide, but very rugged, it is like a rope, winding around the mountain, from one end of the mountain to the other, I don't know how many......

A minibus bumped through the forest, and the sun shone in the mountains and forests, shining into the car and shining on the faces of two sleepy girls......

A young girl slowly opened her eyes, her short and capable hair, still drowsy. She stretched and exhaled a long breath, her expression was a little lazy, and her round face suddenly became cute and cute.

She inadvertently glanced out of the car window, and in an instant, she didn't feel sleepy, she shook the girl next to her, and exclaimed, "Chen Xi, wake up, where is this?" ”

"I'm awake! This is Daliang Mountain. ”

It's a petite girl.

She had a beautiful face, a shawl in her hair, and a blue sun hat, leaning slightly back in her seat and a pair of white headphones in her ears. She closed her eyes and listened to the song, demure and elegant.

Hearing the shout, she also opened her eyes......

This is a pair of deep and bright eyes, blazing, as if to contain hundreds of millions of stars. Through this sea of stars, it seems that you can see her clean and distant soul.

There is no doubt that this is a pair of moving eyes, this is a beautiful girl......

Her name is Chen Xi, which is a vigorous name, just like the light after dawn, through the darkness and towards the light. She looked out the car window, and the trees flickered by, like a floating light.

With a light sigh, she hadn't been home for nearly half a year.

It was already afternoon and the sun was setting in the west. The minibus continued to move slowly west along the winding mountain road in a bumpy ride.

"Chen Xi, what are you sighing for! It's all sunny, you should be happy! The girl next to her asked with a wink.

"Since I went to Chengdu to study three years ago, I have rarely come back, and I have always been less together with my family, especially this year, I am busy preparing for the college entrance examination, and I have not even made phone calls. It's more than 400 kilometers apart, and I don't know how many rivers and mountains we have to cross. I've been busy studying, busy with the college entrance examination, but I don't know that my parents are getting older. I am a child who goes out in the mountains, it is good to go to school in Chengdu, which is like you Su Xiaoying, you can be coquettish in front of your parents every day. ”

"Look at you, it's this again. Why are you working so hard, you are so beautiful, when you marry a good husband in the future and live a good life, you can pick up your parents and enjoy happiness together. Many male classmates beat you up, especially Wang Zhengyou, who looks at you strangely, and he is very handsome, I heard that his father is still a leader of the city bureau. ”

Su Xiaoying laughed, and didn't forget to reach out and pinch Chen Xi's waist as she spoke.

"As far as you will say, you don't want to think about it, it is not easy for me to get to Chengdu, I went to school, not to my husband. Besides, a good life is earned by yourself, what conditions do people have, what does it have to do with me, you like you to go, I can't enjoy this kind of blessing. Chen Xi glanced at her, revealing white tiger teeth.

"Yo! How could I say that? Your big truths are always a pile, how can I talk about you! Su Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "It's rare to have a weekend break, I have accompanied you all the way home, I have been sitting in the car for most of the day, I am so tired, and I don't say nice words to comfort me!" ”

"Good, good! Big beauty, hard work, thank you, okay! Chen Xijiao said with a smile.

"Of course, you're going to treat me well when you're home!" Su Xiaoying said, glancing at Chen Xi's headphones, "Huh? What song are you listening to, I see you've been listening to it all the way. ”

"Ride On, a Scottish ballad, do you want to listen to it?"

"Of course!" Su Xiaoying took the other end of the headset and stuffed it in her ear......

The car drove slowly, from this mountain forest to that mountain forest, from time to time passing by the crowd, holding a flower handkerchief, wearing a silver ring, wearing lace clothes, very good-looking.

They carried baskets on their backs, shuttled through the mountains and forests, singing crisp and tactful songs, the songs were intertwined with the chirping of birds in the forest, echoing in the mountains and forests, endlessly......

The afterglow of the sun shone on the faces of the two girls, they smiled, listened to the song, and hummed softly, as if they had walked into the vast prairie, under the blue sky and white clouds, riding horses and galloping indulgently......

The car shook for a while, and suddenly stopped.

It's a fork in the road, a winding path that leads to the past, like going back in time. A wide and long one, like a gateway to the future......

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoying asked with a side face.

"Get out of the car!"

Chen Xi took her hand and got out of the car.

The sound of the engine sounded, and the minibus faded away in the bumps. The sun was almost reaching the sky, red fluttering, the sun was shining on their faces, and their figures were stretched very long at once......

"Hey! Sister Chen Xi, here are the barren mountains and mountains, and we will get off here? You're not going to tell me I'm not home yet! Su Xiaoying asked puzzled.

Chen Xi smiled slightly, pointed to a mountain range in the distance, and said, "See, the other side of the mountain is my hometown!" ”

"Oh my God, that's a long way off!" Su Xiaoying pouted.

Chen Xi looked into the distance and said: "It's not far, it's only seven or eight miles away, cross this mountain, and then cross a river, and you'll be there, I used to walk every day!" Then he turned around, "Xiaoying, the road to our village hasn't been opened yet, I've wronged you!" ”

"It's okay, although I'm tired, I'm very happy to accompany you home, and the air here is very good, which is like the black smoke miasma of Chengdu." As she spoke, she pointed not far away, exclaiming, "Ah! Sister, look! The roses are blooming. ”

Following her gaze, the quiet path was full of pink roses. It is not as delicate as a rose, nor as fragrant as an osmanthus flower, although the whole body is covered with thorns, but it is the most dazzling scenery in this barren mountain range.

The two girls walked briskly, holding hands, and walked into this vibrant path, laughing and laughing all the way......

"Sister Chen Xi, you weren't afraid to walk this road alone before!" Su Xiaoying asked curiously.

"What is there to be afraid of, when I was a child, I carried a backpack up the mountain to collect medicine, and I was very familiar with it!"

"Then you haven't met any jackals, tigers and leopards, you are so thin, I am afraid that if you are swallowed, there are no bones left."

"I'm so thin, those jackals, tigers and leopards don't dare to be interested in me! It's you, the ones with fine skin and tender meat, who are the delicacies for them! Chen Xi covered his mouth and smiled.

"Sister Chen Xi! There can't be any tigers or snakes, don't scare me! Su Xiaoying pretended to be scared and pulled Chen Xi's clothes.

"How can there be so many tigers and snakes, even if there are, they have long been beaten and caught, and the most terrible thing is people." Chen Xi paused and said, "There are many people in this forest, there are many people collecting medicine and chopping wood. ”

"No, it's 2008, what age is it, and you're still collecting medicine and chopping wood?" Su Xiaoying was a little surprised.

"You think it's in a big city! The traffic here is inconvenient, and the coal is expensive, so you can't pull it in, so you can only burn firewood. As for collecting medicines, our Yi family has always used herbs to treat diseases. ”

Chen Xi said, a little distracted, she grew up with these herbs, and it was these herbs that took her out of the mountains and towards the road to study in Chengdu.

I don't know if it condenses the sweat and tears of my parents, as well as the pale years that will never return......

Su Xiaoying looked at Chen Xi a little distracted, and she stopped talking, but she still didn't ask something in her heart: Didn't you say that the western region was developed?

The two maidens went down the mountain road, and in front of them appeared a small river, which was zigzag, and there were several women by the river, dressed in lace and neon clothes, washing clothes. Beat with wooden sticks, rub with feet, and some happily sing songs belonging to their Yi family.

In their direction, not far upstream, there was a chain bridge, covered with loose planks, and a gust of wind blew, shaking the bridge and creaking the chain chains. The river is clear and flowing, flowing to a place where it does not know where it ends......

"Xiaoying, come! Wash your face, it's almost home. Chen Xi held a handful of river water and slapped it on her face, she felt very cold, very light, and very soft......

On the other side of the river, about two or three miles away, at the foot of a large mountain, the outline of a village appeared before them, and by this time, the smoke was already curling.

Two old men stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the two girls who were getting closer and closer, and they staggered towards them.

Chen Xi's eyes were a little red, and he quickly ran forward to the two old men, supported them, and said softly: "Dad! Mother! Xiaoxi is home! ”

As the sun sets, the night comes, and the sound of laughter keeps coming from the village, rolling up a fresh breeze, which is very warm, very light, and very soft......
