Forty-eight The Story of Time
"Sister Qin Feng, have a good trip!"
Halfway up the mountain, two girls hugged each other tightly, for a long time, for a long time, the two of them were reluctant to let go of their hands.
Looking at Qin Feng, Chen Xi's eyes were full of envy.
She is not envious of Qin Feng's family background, but envied Qin Feng for being able to do what she likes, carrying a guitar on her back, and pursuing her dreams.
Growing up in the mountains, she wanted to go out and see all the time.
However, she still has a lot of things, and even a trip to Anseong comes and goes in a hurry.
At this moment, the only thing she could do was to say to Qin Feng to cherish it.
"Xiaoxi, we will always be good sisters!" Qin Feng said solemnly.
In fact, she was also very reluctant in her heart.
After living in Chen Xi's house for a few days, she has a deep understanding of Chen Xi.
During this time, she followed Chen Xi, carried water, went up the mountain to collect medicine, and even helped Chen Xi's mother play straw sandals.
She loves this kind of life, although it is hard, but it is fulfilling.
Here, there is no quarrel with the world, there is no intrigue, this feeling, this feeling, is really good.
In the past few days, Chen Xi has been smiling, never complaining about life, but feeling that this is a gift.
This kind of mentality is something she doesn't have.
The Chen Xi she saw was not only optimistic, strong, but also kind.
This naturally beautiful girl has a pure and immaculate heart.
No wonder everyone liked her, even, including the big tiger on the mountain.
"Xiaoxi, you must be good!" looked at Chen Xi in a daze for a long time.
Qin Feng suddenly turned around, carried his guitar, and got into a small car.
The moment she got into the car, she couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears burst out of her eyes.
"Sister Qin Feng, you have to be good too! I will work hard, and one day, I will come to Beijing to find you! Chen Xi kept waving his hand, but the car gradually moved away, and all that was left was dust.
Phoenix, after all, is going to spread its wings and fly high.
Qin Feng's sky is in Beijing, and Liangshan is too small to carry her full of talent.
What they don't know is that this farewell is an eternal farewell, and their sisters, for the rest of their lives, will never see each other again.
Chen Xi turned around, and with a tiger roar, her figure disappeared into the vast mountains.
β¦β¦
Time is like an arrow, three years, and it flies by in a hurry.
Chen Xi is already slim, her hair is waist-high, at this time, she is like a blooming blue lotus, holy and elegant, beautiful and flawless.
In three years, she received three letters.
One from Anseong.
Xu Qing told that Chen Xiaofang had left the world and was buried on the shore of Xishui Lake.
The legendary boy came back and sat in front of Chen Xiaofang's grave all night, and after that, he didn't say anything for three years.
One from Beijing.
Qin Feng said that she was no longer in film school, transferred to music, and would choose this path and go all the way, Qin Feng also said that her little brother gave her a Martin guitar, but she never met.
The third letter came from Beichuan.
My aunt's husband died and was buried alive in a small coal kiln, losing a lot of money, but my aunt didn't want to continue, she just wanted to teach with peace of mind, and told Chen Xi that she was fine and didn't have to worry.
The three letters lasted for Chen Xi's entire three years, and during the three years, in addition to studying, he practiced the piano, day after day.
And that dream, that unattainable dream, gradually, was hidden in her heart and never told anyone.
In more than a month, I will take the high school entrance examination.
She is almost seventeen years old.
She didn't have any extra thoughts to think about anything else.
She is going to Chengdu, and from there, to the world.
It's the weekend, and it's time to go home again.
Every week, she goes home to spend time with her parents, which is her happiest day.
No, the sun had just risen, and she had already packed her bags and walked out of the school gate.
But at this moment, a red Land Rover suddenly arrived and suddenly stopped in front of Chen Xi.
"Huh?" Chen Xixiu frowned.
At this time, a person walked out of the Land Rover.
This is a woman, young and beautiful, graceful and luxurious.
"Xiaoxi!" As soon as she got out of the car, she cheered and ran towards Chen Xi.
"Sister Zhong Ling?" Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and before she had time to think about it, the shadow was already hugging her tightly.
After a few moments, the two separated, looking at each other and scrutinizing each other.
"Xiaoxi, you have grown taller and more beautiful!"
Zhong Ling shook Chen Xi and kept saying, "Giggles, in a few years, you can get married!" β
"Are you really Sister Zhong Ling?" Chen Xi asked in disbelief.
This is her best friend at school.
still remembers that when Mr. Xu's fiancΓ©, Mr. Yuan, was unfortunately killed in order to save a student, Chen Xi wanted to go to the wake, and Zhong Ling was always with her.
Everyone left, but Zhong Ling shrank in the corner of the door and fell asleep.
Although she was afraid, she still accompanied Chen Xi.
The two often play together, read books together, and practice the piano together.
Three years ago, Zhong Ling repeated her studies and took the high school entrance examination again, at that time, Chen Xi had just graduated from primary school.
I heard that she was admitted to Chengdu No. 7 Middle School, and Chen Xi was happy for her.
Since then, Zhong Ling has not been heard from, and Chen Xi has never seen her again.
Unexpectedly, today, she suddenly came.
Moreover, Zhong Ling now, compared with that time, is like two people.
She is no longer the girl who is a little timid and silent when there are many people.
At this time, she seems to have become a confident and generous woman.
She drives a famous car, her whole body, she wears famous brands, and even the watch she wears on her hand is worth hundreds of thousands, at least.
The current Zhong Ling and Chen Xi's feelings are both strange and familiar.
What has happened in the past three years? Let her have such a big transformation?
She is still as intimate with herself as before, as if nothing has changed, and as if everything has changed.
Chen Xi can't say this feeling.
"Sister Zhong Ling, you didn't go to school in Chengdu?" Chen Xi asked again.
"No ......" Zhong Ling shook her head, took Chen Xi's hand, and almost dragged her into the luxurious Land Rover.
"It's a good car, isn't it?" Holding the steering wheel, Zhong Ling said, "It's more than two million!" β
"This ......" Chen Xi was speechless, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
"I heard that my aunt's health is not very good, find a time, send her to Chengdu to have a look, all the consumption, I will come!" Zhong Ling continued.
Chen Xi was silent.
It was good to be able to see her mother, but she didn't want to accept such a charity for no reason.
In addition, my mother went to the hospital more than once, but there was no effect, so she could only rely on Chinese herbal medicine to slowly recuperate.
"I really envy you, you haven't changed, you've been yourself!" Zhong Ling smiled bitterly.
"Sister, are you okay in the past three years? Since you didn't go to school, why didn't you come to see me......" Chen Xi asked softly.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi!" Zhong Ling said, "I lied to you, I didn't get into the seventh middle school at all, I studied for two years and the third year of junior high school, and I still didn't get in, and my family couldn't afford the tuition, so I had to choose to give up!" β
"Then you ......"
"I'm married!" Zhong Ling smiled, "After we separated that day, I got married, my husband, drove directly to the school to pick me up!" β
"Huh?" Chen Xi was taken aback.
"Otherwise, where do you think these things come from?" Zhong Ling said, "Marry a rich husband, that's it!" β
"However, you only ...... at that time," Chen Xi stopped when he wanted to speak.
"It's only seventeen, isn't it?" Zhong Lingjiao laughed, "People who marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen abound, what am I, besides, I am now twenty years old, and I just got my certificate last month, isn't it?" As soon as I have time, I will come to you, be happy! β
"Hmm!" Chen Xi nodded lightly and said no more.
Everyone's path is different, and perhaps, that's a good thing.
It's just that she feels that something is wrong, and she can't say what it is.
"Let's go, let's go for breakfast!" Zhong Ling started the accelerator, "I used to rub your living expenses every day, but now, I invite you, old place!" β
The red Land Rover, with a coquettish laugh, moved slowly, and not long after, stopped in front of a small restaurant.
"Here, nothing has changed, it's just that we've all changed!"
Stepping out of the car, Zhong Ling muttered to herself, and then, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face, "Boss, open two fritters, two bowls of porridge, and two tea eggs!" β
Chen Xi didn't say a word, silently followed behind Zhong Ling, and found a place to sit down.
"Well, yes, it's still the original taste!" When it was served early, Zhong Ling couldn't wait, picked up the chopsticks, and ate with relish.
Chen Xi looked at her with complicated eyes.
She never moved her chopsticks.
In a moment of silence, Zhong Ling finished eating and smiled slightly.
Regardless of Chen Xi's expression, she said to herself: "Do you remember the song we used to sing? β
Zhong Ling said, not caring about everyone's eyes, picked up the chopsticks, gently tapped the table, and began to sing softly:
"The flowers bloom in spring, the wind in autumn, and the sunset in winter.
Melancholy youth, young me, once ignorantly thought so.
Time takes away the song of the four seasons, and I sing softly.
In the poems of the wind and snow, I am growing up year after year.
The story of flowing water that takes away time changes a person, in that sentimental and first waiting youth......
The distant distance, the dreams of yesterday, and the laughter of the distance.
How far have we traveled to meet again?
It's no longer the familiar you of the old days, and you have the fanatical dreams of the old days.
It's not the same me as before, and I still have a smile.
The story of the running water that takes away the time has changed us, in that sentimental and first reminiscent of youth......"
"The story of time!" As Zhong Ling's voice slowly fell, Chen Xi muttered to himself, full of melancholy.
At this moment, she finally knew what had changed.
"Xiaoxi, didn't you just ask me, it's been three years, why didn't I come to see you?" Zhong Ling said suddenly, she rolled up her sleeves.
"Sister!" Chen Xi exclaimed, her eyes turned red in an instant.
What did she see?
Zhong Ling's arms were full of scars, bruises, and they were shocking.
"This is the so-called giants, a bunch of perverts! I've got it all over me! β
Zhong Ling put down her sleeves and said quietly, "My father sold me, like goods, for three years, I was beaten and scolded every day, my father never said a word for me, every time he came to see me, never asked me whether I was alive or dead, like a dog, wagging his tail in front of the family and begging for mercy, he came to ask for money, and after getting the money, he left happily!" β
"Sister!" Chen Xi cried, his heart aching like a knife.
"Sister is fine!"
Zhong Ling stretched out her hand and wiped away Chen Xi's tears, "You know what? God is fair, his mother, died of illness a year ago, and he just got his certificate with me last month, guess what? He was drying clothes on the balcony, and when he didn't pay attention, he slipped and fell to his death! Now, I am the only one in this family, everything is mine, the house, the car, the company, are all mine, so, the first time, I will come to see you, you are my only relative......"
"You!" Chen Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Looking at Zhong Ling, she couldn't help but feel creepy.
She finally knew that something was wrong.
"I want to pick you up and live at my house!" Zhong Ling said, "We are good sisters, mine is yours, you are so talented, in the future, the family company, I will hand it over to you to take care of, and give you half of the shares, you don't have to work hard to go up the mountain to collect medicine, let alone worry about your aunt's illness, Chengdu can't be cured, just go to Beijing and Shanghai for treatment, no, go abroad to ......"
"No!" Chen Xi roared and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Xiaoxi, ...... you" Zhong Ling's body stiffened, and then, her face suddenly turned pale, and she laughed miserably, "Xiaoxi, are you ignoring me?" We're good sisters! β
Chen Xi gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"That's it, that's it!" Zhong Ling shook her head vigorously, glanced at Chen Xi deeply, and turned away.
"My phone, left on the table, what is needed, say it!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhong Ling had already gotten into the car, and with a move of the accelerator, the red Land Rover disappeared in Chen Xi's eyes.
"Sister, your mother-in-law, your husband, you murdered, right?"
Chen Xi hugged his head, in pain, "From your eyes, what I see is full of hatred, how can you tell me to go with you?" β
