XXXV. Songhua River

No one knows what the wind is, only when they see the leaves gently fluttering, they know that there is a wind passing by.

At such a time, Zhiyuan was a wandering wind, drifting with the light movement of the train.

The train shuttled across the endless plains, and gradually, Zhiyuan felt bored.

Here, it is no different from the North China Plain, except that it has been changed from corn to rice.

He began to miss the mountains and mountains of his hometown.

Zhiyuan fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In his dream, he lost his way in a strange mountain forest.

Just when he was at a loss, a petite figure appeared in his eyes.

It was a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, who was carrying a basket on her back and climbing in the mountains and forests.

"Girl, where is this?" Raising his eyes, Zhiyuan shouted loudly.

When the girl heard the sound, she suddenly looked back, her silver ring was rippling, her flower clothes were flying, this was a girl from the Yi family.

"This is Daliang Mountain! Giggles! ”

She smiled lightly, and her voice resounded throughout the mountains.

Zhiyuan was stunned.

Her voice is so beautiful, like a lark, crisp and moving.

What's more, she has a flower handkerchief on her head, just like her grandmother.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly from a long distance, he couldn't help but feel kind instinctively.

"Daliang Mountain?" Zhiyuan came back to his senses, and the petite figure had disappeared into the vast mountains.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan!"

At this moment, there was a sound in Zhiyuan's ears, which was deafening.

On the train, Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother Yuan, Jilin has arrived!" The teenager next to him said in surprise.

He is Liu Dalin, after getting in the car, Zhiyuan made up a sleeper for him, and he has always been by Zhiyuan's side.

"Really?" Zhiyuan looked at his watch, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

"yes, we're making a pit stop!" Liu Dalin smiled shyly.

Zhiyuan came to the window, and for a moment, his eyes showed surprise.

It was a river, clear and transparent, wide and long, and mighty.

"Songhua River!" Zhiyuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

This is the widest river he has ever seen, which is not found in Guizhou.

Originally, all the way north, he was supposed to cross the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but he fell asleep and missed it.

The silent heart suddenly became active.

He's here in the first place.

It is said that the source of the Songhua River starts from Changbai Mountain.

I don't know how many people's blood and tears this river has carried, and how many people's hopes and vicissitudes have been poured into it.

I heard that this place can cleanse people's souls.

The train moved slowly, and the Songhua River gradually drifted away and disappeared in Zhiyuan's eyes.

But his heart was surging.

"Bang dang!" But at this moment, the train stopped.

"Brother Yuan, we're here!" Liu Dalin said happily, with a look of yearning, "Listen to Brother Lin, in the evening, we can go to work, it's good, by the end of the year, there are thousands of dollars to go home, when the time comes, buy a mobile phone, hehe, no one in our village uses a mobile phone!" ”

"Good job, come on!" Zhiyuan picked up his guitar and said, "Let's go, get out of the car!" ”

"Brother Wu, are you in such a hurry?" A gentle voice came, and Lin Qing also got up, "I remember when I first arrived in Beijing, you were not in a hurry!" ”

"Brother Lin, you go first, I'll come back to you!" Zhiyuan said.

"Huh?" Lin Qing was stunned, "We're going to start work at eight o'clock in the evening!" ”

"Just tell me the address, I'll be there!" Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Good!" Lin Qing nodded, "No. 59, South Changjiang Road, High-tech Zone, you have arrived at Changjiang Road, find a public phone, call my mobile phone!" ”

"Good!" Zhiyuan nodded, glanced at Liu Dalin, and took the lead out of the car door.

……

The Songhua River, mighty and mighty, flows to a distant place where it does not know its future.

Zhiyuan came and walked along the river.

At this moment, on the riverside, there are many people, some people are wearing swimsuits, swimming, and from time to time there is laughter, passing by his ears.

Every more than ten meters away, there will be a big stone, on the stone, there are intimate couples, tender and sweet.

Zhiyuan rarely smiled.

Pick up a handful of river water and slap it on your face, the water here is very clear and cool.

Zhiyuan's heart gradually relaxed.

He put down his guitar, took a random spot, and lay down on the beach.

All of a sudden, his world seemed to be quiet.

He remembered the dream, and remembered the girl of the Yi family in the dream.

At that time, she was on the other side of the mountain, far away.

He could see her clothes, her silver rings, her flower veils.

But I couldn't see her face clearly.

She was like a fairy, agile and hazy.

This feeling is very kind.

It was as if he had known her a long, long time ago.

Zhiyuan was sure that he had never seen her, and he had never been to Daliang Mountain.

However, that dream was so real.

That girl, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, made his heart pound.

That feeling, Zhiyuan didn't know very well, but when her back disappeared and he couldn't see her, he was stunned.

This feeling is empty.

"Daliang Mountain? There's time to go around! ”

Zhiyuan muttered in a low voice, "I forgot to ask your name!" ”

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, her every move was engraved in his heart.

This is a brave and strong little girl.

What can she do alone, carrying a basket on her back, in the barren mountains and mountains?

Will she be like herself, stepping on drugs to make ends meet?

Is her home in Daliang Mountain?

Zhiyuan began to think crankily.

Inexplicably, thinking of the delicate back walking through the mountains and forests, Zhiyuan felt very sad.

He could hear her voice, and she was very optimistic and cheerful.

What kind of girl is this?

Zhiyuan asked himself, if he was a little girl in Longtan Village, she was as big as her, and she didn't dare to walk alone in the forest.

Zhiyuan couldn't help but worry.

He wanted to go back to his dream, he wanted to go to the little girl, and he had an urge to be by her side, to protect her, and not let the jackals, tigers, and leopards hurt her.

The river breeze swept across Zhiyuan's face, very light and soft.

His thoughts drifted thousands of miles away, and he wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep for a long time.

"If only there was such a person!"

Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, no wonder, Xiao Yong often said that he loved a person in a daze, no wonder, people in the village said that he was not thinking normally.

How can a dream be taken seriously?

Perhaps, this is just an illusory picture that he longs for.

Dreams are dreams after all, no matter how real they are, they are still dreams.

Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes, it was time to go back.

But at this time, he realized that his guitar and his luggage were gone.

His eyes were cold, and Zhiyuan stared at a galloping figure.

It was a little boy, carrying his luggage and guitar, running away into the distance.

"In broad daylight! Hum! Zhiyuan snorted coldly, walked like a fly, and chased after him.

"Stop!" Zhiyuan roared.

The little boy in front of him, looking back at him, panicked, staggered, and threw himself on the beach.

"Why did you steal from me?" Zhiyuan caught up with the little boy and said angrily.

"Big brother, I'm hungry!" The little boy got up and trembled and returned the things to Zhiyuan.

"Huh?" With a frown, Zhiyuan looked at him and thought of a person, Xiao Yong.

"What about your parents?" Zhiyuan asked.

"I don't have parents!" The little boy gritted his teeth and tried not to cry, but tears finally burst out of his eyes, "We are from an orphanage, but the orphanage has been demolished, and we are homeless, big brother, look at them......"

Looking in the direction of the little boy's finger, there was a group of children, six or seven people, looking in the direction of Zhiyuan.

"Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I don't want that! The little boy buried his head and whispered.

"That'...... Where do you sleep at night? Zhiyuan squatted down, lifted the little boy's head, and asked.

"There!" The little boy pointed to a bridge, "We have been living under the bridge, and we are often beaten, big brother, you let me go, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" ”

"I won't hurt you!" Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "You call them first!" I'll take you to dinner, okay? ”

"Really?" The little boy was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, big brother!" ”

The little boy ran away, and after a while, with a group of children, gathered around Zhiyuan.

"Let's go! I'll take you to dinner! Zhiyuan smiled and put the guitar on his back.

At this moment, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

This is the child, the eldest is the little boy who stole his things, and he is only eight or nine years old, and he is the oldest of the children.

"Big brother, I'll help you get it!" The little boy is very well-behaved.

"Good!" Zhiyuan touched his head, and then walked towards a restaurant.

"Big brother, you're so nice!" A little girl of five or six years old said.

"Haha!" Zhiyuan laughed, picked up the little girl, and gently scratched her nose, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Xiao Xin!" The little girl said sweetly.

"Okay, let's eat!"

"Let's eat!"

A group of children, surrounded by Zhiyuan, jumped up and down to the door of a restaurant.

"Big brother, I'm afraid!" Xiao Xin said timidly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Zhiyuan comforted.

"Boss, help me fry a few dishes!" Walking into the restaurant, Zhiyuan shouted.

"Huh? It's a bunch of kids! ”

The owner of the restaurant, an obese middle-aged man, swept his gaze over a group of children, and finally, his gaze fell on Zhiyuan.

"Feel free to fry me a few home-cooked dishes, they're hungry, put more oil!" Zhiyuan came to the boss and took out a few pieces of money, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough! That's enough! The boss laughed, "Little brother, wait a minute!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Zhiyuan called the boss, "May I ask the eldest brother, do you know that there is an orphanage near here?" ”

"Yes!" The boss didn't want to think about it and said, "But it seems that it has just been demolished, I heard that that piece, to build a villa, this orphanage has moved, as for where to move, I don't know!" ”

"That's ...... Moved away, these children, maybe lost, they still have a place to go! Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "Big brother, can I borrow your home phone for it?" ”

"No problem, just hit it in the city!" The boss laughed and walked into the kitchen.

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhiyuan picked up the phone, "Excuse me, is it the Public Security Bureau?" This is Songhuajiang Restaurant......"

……

"Wow! It smells so good! Xiao Xin sat next to Zhiyuan, very well-behaved, she sent a mouthful of food to her mouth, and did not forget to give Zhiyuan a dish.

"Eat slowly, drink soup!" Zhiyuan said with a smile.

A group of children, gathered around a round table, had a good time.

"Big brother, what's your name!" Xiao Xin asked.

"Wu Zhiyuan, you call me Brother Yuan!" Zhiyuan said.

"Brother Yuan!"

A group of children, shouted in unison.

"Brother Yuan is so good to Xiao Xin!"

"Good! Eat slowly, don't choke! Zhiyuan put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was full.

"Xiaoxin, Xiaohu...... I've had so hard looking for you! Just then, a shout was heard.

Zhiyuan turned his head to look, and it was a woman, kind and kind, running towards the restaurant in a panic.

Behind her, followed by a squad of policemen.

"Yikes! Qi Mom! ”

"Mother Qi!"

All the children, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and ran towards the middle-aged woman together.

Xiao Xin threw herself into her arms and cried.

"Mother Qi, I miss you, it's Brother Tiger who has been protecting us, we are lost, we can't find you, woo woo!"

"Mother Qi!" A group of children, huddled around the middle-aged woman, their voices choked.

"I'm sorry, mom I'm sorry for you!"

The middle-aged woman hugged Xiao Xin tightly, "Who found you, I have to thank him well, I'm worried about me, my mother has been looking for you for a few days!" ”

"It's Brother Yuan, he also invited us to dinner!"

Xiao Xin said sweetly and pointed in one direction, however, at this moment, the dining table was empty.

"Hey, where is Brother Yuan?"

……

On the bank of the Songhua River, there is a figure, carrying a guitar, gradually moving away and disappearing into the vast sea of people.

……
