In the summer heat, it was the season of heavy rain and scorching sun, and I happened to go to Shangcheng on a business trip, and the whole city was shrouded in humidity and scorching heat, which made people feel impetuous.

I finally stayed up after the three-day industry meeting, listened to a few boring industry reports, and planned to go home to see my children.

With a sweep of his eyes, he saw the high-rise building opposite, and the words "Yunchuan Law Firm" were very eye-catching.

Song Weina's words were still in her ears, and after thinking about it, she decided to try her luck and see if Cheng Yunchuan was there.

Sure enough, the luck was not very good, and the others were not there.

Hearing that the secretary said that he was going to northern Shaanxi, someone mentioned it more, saying that he was going to deal with Tan Yueming's affairs.

In Shangcheng, Tan Yueming has always been a central figure, whether it is a serious topic or lace news, he is more or less involved.

But recently, there are taboo topics involved in his affairs, and a lot of gossip has gone viral in the community, and everyone only dares to gossip in private, and will not talk about it on the table.

The man began to regret mentioning it, for fear of being accused of some kind of trumped-up crime, and refused to say a word more.

Naturally, I wouldn't ask questions, so I asked the secretary to call Cheng Yunchuan for me.

Hearing that it was me, Cheng Yunchuan was extraordinarily enthusiastic, saying that he was looking for me for something, but he was not busy at the moment, and asked me if I had time to go to northern Shaanxi to find him.

When it comes to Tan Yueming, I didn't hesitate and immediately responded.

Under the scorching sun, I came to a poor county located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, which is located on a high slope, and the eyes are barren and desolate, and even the colors are gray, which fully confirms the imbalance of China's regional development.

When I got off the off-road vehicle, I saw Cheng Yunchuan greeting me at the entrance of the village, and his smile was brighter than the sun.

It's the first time I've seen him, and it's not much different from what I've heard of him, fair-skinned, tall and handsome, wearing a dark gray T-shirt, which looks very incompatible with this yellow earth, but seeing a few fellow villagers talking and laughing around him, so natural and harmonious, and he is very gregarious, I can't help but have a little more affection for him.

"Miss Li, I'm really sorry to let you run so far." Before I could speak, he greeted me generously, and after greeting for a while, the topic came to Tan Yueming.

He was Tan Yueming's chief lawyer, and he was also in charge of his economic case, so he naturally knew a lot about the situation, but he did not mention his crimes and the verdict at all.

I was a little anxious, "Lawyer Cheng, what is his situation now?" ”

He said, "His situation is quite complicated, and he can't say a word clearly, so I'll take you around here first, and then I'll talk to you slowly." ”

Seeing his calm and relaxed appearance, I had no choice but to be patient and follow him all the way to visit.

Walking along the mountain road to the village, all kinds of picture frames are inlaid on the loess wall, the pattern is in the shape of Z County's characteristic paper-cutting, with the core values of socialism and rural folk anecdotes as the content, there is a rough and vigorous Loess Plateau culture, and there is no lack of delicate and elegant, presenting a unique paper-cut cultural wall.

Cheng Yunchuan told me that this piece is supported by Mingwang Group, and a lot of money has been invested, involving hundreds of large and small engineering projects, and there are many affairs to contact with the local government, so he came here in person.

I followed him around, saw several transportation and drinking water projects under construction, and two or three agricultural and sideline product processing plants, and also had a lot of feelings about "poverty alleviation".

At this time, he walked to the position of a field dam, he stopped, pointed to a well and said, "The Loess Plateau lacks water and rain, and the villagers' daily drinking water mainly depends on the rainwater collected in the dry well. This well was made by Tan Yueming, which is more than 700 meters deep, fulfilling the dream of several generations of draught, and the water for farmland and grain harvest are also guaranteed. ”

I was a little surprised, and when I got closer, an elderly lady was fetching water, and when I saw Cheng Yunchuan, I called him with a smile.

Cheng Yunchuan chatted with her for a few words, and she looked back at me suddenly, "You are Mr. Tan's mother-in-law?" ”

I was a little confused, and then smiled.

The eldest lady was very enthusiastic, "Oh, you are so handsome, let's go, go to my house and sit down." ”

I excused myself, and listened to her excitedly say that Tan Yueming helped them solve the draft problem, and also helped her son solve the job, working as a forest ranger, and engaged in mushroom planting, and could earn an extra 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year, and the days became more and more prosperous.

The aunt's conversation box is open, and she can't close it, if Cheng Yunchuan hadn't said that there was still something to do, she would have pulled me to her house to eat dates.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at me, "How is it, did you see a different Tan Yueming?" ”

I smiled and didn't speak, but he suddenly asked, "Is Miss Li interested in watching a show?" ”

Just as he was wondering, he pointed not far away, where a simple shed was erected, and a group of villagers were sitting in a depression watching the play.

The stage is made of bricks and cement, and the dog days are smoky in the hot sun, and the words "Z County Art Troupe" are being staged on a banner with the words "Z County Art Troupe".

Without waiting for me to ask, Cheng Yunchuan walked forward in two steps, and I had to follow.

After a while, a fellow came out with a stool and two cups of water, and was very enthusiastic, "Mr. Cheng, sit down and drink saliva." ”

Cheng Yunchuan said thank you to him, and the fellow left happily.

It seems that he is quite popular in the local area.

I asked, "Watching a play here?" ”

Cheng Yunchuan glanced at me and said with a smile, "Yes, look here." It's a very different experience. ”

I smiled and didn't speak.

He asked again, "Miss Li, have you applied enough sunscreen?" ”

There was a bit of ridicule in that tone, and I was a little embarrassed, knowing that he was saying that I was squeamish.

was still thinking about how to pick it up, so I heard him say, "The last time I came over with Tan Yueming, he mentioned you and said that if you weren't afraid that you would be exposed to the sun, I would let you take a look at what the real overlord Farewell Concubine is." Say that when you go to sea, you have to carry a dozen sunscreens. ”

I smiled, "It's so exaggerated, don't listen to his nonsense." ”

He didn't speak, he turned his attention to the stage, and I followed suit.

Actually, I am not very interested in art forms such as drama, opera, and drama, and I accompanied Tan Yueming to watch Italian opera twice, and I fell asleep directly watching it, and I was laughed at by him afterwards, saying that I am not like Li Bainian's granddaughter, and my grandfather's artistic cells were all inherited to me.

On the stage at this time, it was Xiang Yu, who was defeated like a mountain, who retreated to the Wujiang River and killed himself with the beautiful Yu Ji.

There is a sense of pride and sadness in the style and singing of the Qin cavity, the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, the overlord "wow, yes" roared, two steps to hold up the self-killing Yu Ji, looked up to the sky and roared, roaring to the Qin cavity that touched the soul, he grabbed Yu Ji's hair, took it in his mouth, and raised his left leg, the tragic and strong was very infectious, no one thought that the overlord of Western Chu who "pulled out the mountain and covered the world" also had such a down-and-out day, only to see the overlord twist his head, roar, and kill himself by the rolling river, and the heroes of the ages went to Huangquan with the beauty......

I have watched many versions of the Overlord of Western Chu, including movies, but none of them are as pathetic as they are in front of me, even under the fierce head of July, sadness can reach the bottom of my heart.

Seeing that I was fascinated, Cheng Yunchuan called me to come back to my senses, hesitated for a moment, took the tissue he handed over, and turned his head embarrassedly to wipe his tears.

Moving to the shady cave, Cheng Yunchuan came over with herbal tea and asked me calmly, "Miss Li, what do you think of this overlord farewell concubine?" ”

I said, "Good." This is the first time I've seen Qin Yan, and I didn't expect it to be so shocking and very moving. ”

He smiled, "That is, Bangzi is the accumulation of thousands of years of rich culture, simple, rude, bold, and directly hit people's hearts." After a pause, "Then what do you think of the story of Farewell My Concubine, do you think this ending is good?" ”

I vaguely felt that it was not right, why did he ask me this question.

Farewell My Concubine is the swan song of the ages, this is the best ending of the story, isn't it.

I only heard him say, "Actually, this ending is very helpless, whether it is the overlord of Chu or Yu Ji, it is a helpless choice due to time and place." Yu Ji was not born in the right era, if it is modern, she should live with the hobby of the overlord, just like the heroine of the Titanic, cherish life, cherish life, live herself, and live enough. ”

I didn't understand why he said this, but I saw him stand up and walk to the window, "Miss Li, you see, how barren and desolate the yellow earth here is, but it has multiplied from generation to generation. People who grew up in the northwest wind and yellow sand danced, no matter how difficult the environment is, still live and live, no matter how difficult it is to swallow the black and dark baba, they still sing and cut paper to have fun, this is life, laughing at suffering. ”

I stood up, "Lawyer Cheng, what exactly do you want to say?" ”

He looked at me and said very calmly, "In the years since you left, Tan Yueming has traveled to many places with his bags on his back, stayed here for a month, and realized a lot of the true meaning of life, so he attaches so much importance to the development and changes here, and let me personally watch it." ”

I asked, "How is he doing now, and how long has he been sentenced?" ”

He asked me rhetorically, "If he were sentenced to life in prison, would you wait for him?" ”

I thought for a moment, "If he wants me, of course I'll wait." ”

Cheng Yunchuan didn't speak, and looked at me fixedly for a while, "Miss Li, there are no good people or bad people in the temple, as his lawyer and friend, I want to say that he is a good person." I believe it is the same in your heart. ”

I had some bad premonitions, "Lawyer Cheng, don't go around in circles with me, you have something to say." ”

He took a breath, "Tan Yueming, it's already gone." He has a lot of inheritance that you need to deal with. ”

It turned out that he had come full circle in such a big circle to tell me this.

In the scorching summer, my heart felt like it had gone through several Cambrian cycles, and it was so cold that I couldn't beat.

Everything was quiet, breathing stopped, it was dark in front of my eyes, and I couldn't feel anything.

It's dreams, those heart-rending love words, those touching vows, like stars in the sky, lingering in the ears.

yes, he's talking about it.

I love you, like the wind, I have traveled eight thousand miles, regardless of the return date.

I love you, like spring grass dyeing green ridges, no doubt.

I love you, like starlight falling into my eyes, a glance.

I love you, like a cliff rolling up a thousand piles of snow, years after year.

I love you like a star to the earth, unto death.
