(New book, ask for recommendations)

The sun finally disappeared completely below the western horizon, but the heavens and the earth were not completely darkened because of this, and the night sky at this time, the pale black mixed with wisps of blue, seemed to be the blue sky of the day, and I couldn't bear to leave the earth that I hadn't seen enough in such a hurry.

One star after another hung in the sky, blinking mischievously, looking down at the vast grassland under the vast night from the sky, quietly observing everything in the dark night.

Each of these stars looks small, hanging there and shining, but in fact they are separated by an unknown number of billions of miles.

They converge into a brilliant galaxy in the sky, as if they have crossed the vicissitudes of the world.

The universe is desolate, the heavens and the earth are yellow, so vast and vast, placing themselves under it, making people feel as small as smoke.

How does the short life compare with the sun, moon and stars?

The cool night breeze blows slowly, and the wild grass on the grassland is blowing, and the sea is vast and boundless.

Because the light of the sun has dimmed, and the black waves of wild grass are surging into patches, the sky and the earth are connected, and the day and night are intertwined, neither completely dark, nor bright as day, but chaotic and hazy, as if Hongmeng has not judged.

In the distance, another wolf howled, and an owl flew up from a tree in the field, and after a few cooings, it waved its wings and disappeared into the night, presumably to start its own nocturnal life again.

On the grassland, a quiet lake, as if the entire starry sky has been collected in the lake, the lake waves with the wind, and the stars reflected in the lake rise and fall, for a while, it is impossible to tell whether the lake is dancing, or the bright starry sky is dancing?!

On the shore of the lake, a few wisps of cooking smoke curled and a fire burned, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, like a wild traveler after a long day's journey, camping here and resting, making a fire and cooking.

When I got closer, I saw that it was not the traveler who had camped by the lake, but a small monster sitting by the fire, concentrating on roasting a rabbit and a few fatty fish on the fire.

The gray-haired hare that was chased by Cheng Fan and had no way into the sky and no door, and jumped into the lake in a panic, has been plucked and washed at the moment, passed through the rabbit's body by a branch, and grilled it on the fire, turning with the little monster's claws.

The rabbit meat flows out of the fat and drips onto the fire, and the flame rises slightly and returns to its original state in an instant, making a "zizi" burning sound.

Just seeing this scene already makes people's index fingers move, and then smelling the smell of meat in the air, even a person who has just eaten enough can't help but swallow saliva.

Along with the rabbits were a few fish that Cheng Fan caught in the lake, each of which was nearly half a meter long and belonged to a kind of salmon that grew in cold waters at high latitudes.

Smelling the tempting aroma of fish and rabbit meat, Cheng Fan patiently continued to roll the underripe meat.

When he was a human being, he worked a lot of part-time jobs in college to earn tuition and living expenses, including a barbecue restaurant.

The restaurant is not large, but the environment is extremely clean and tidy, the restaurant has been carefully decorated and arranged by the owner, and the barbecue master, that is, the barbecue restaurant owner's own craftsmanship has nothing to say, so there is an endless stream of people who come to the store to eat barbecue every day.

It's just that the boss's schedule is regular, opening and closing on time, and never serving late guests.

Cheng Fan's job in the store is to process materials, that is, to slaughter those chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc., and then clean them up for later use.

When the store is not busy, Cheng Fan and a few other clerks listen to the story of the boss, who is a kind and chubby middle-aged uncle with a smiling face like Maitreya in Buddhism.

The boss is a man with a story, and the boss said that when he was young, he was also a handsome and handsome man, but he once followed him to a foreign country for a beloved woman.

However, people's hearts and human nature are unpredictable, some people's love can be sworn by the sea and the eternal one, and some people and some things will eventually change due to different times and places, and the same is true of the boss's love.

It is often said that a woman in love has a zero IQ, but in fact, for a man in love, there is also no IQ at all.

The boss is full of enthusiasm, holding the best persistent trust in love, regardless of the opposition of his family, he resolutely abandons everything in the country and goes to a foreign country with his beloved woman.

In a foreign country, you don't know the place, you don't know anything, you have to start from scratch.

It was the sixties, not long after the constitutional reform, and the men and women who had just arrived in a foreign country suddenly realized that the world was so big, and there were so many strange things.

Finally, someone is attracted to the materiality of the flowery world, and the woman abandons him and throws herself into the arms of a local white billionaire.

The boss was originally a very smart and careful person, but under the DEBUFF aura that comes with love, his intelligence has been seriously weakened, and he and the woman have come to study abroad, and he has been kept in the dark.

It wasn't until one day that one of his classmates, a student from the Empire, told him that he had learned that he had been hiding the truth for a long time.

He didn't believe it at first, and beat up the classmate and friend's fellow countryman, but when he really watched the woman being picked up by a black Lincoln outside the school gate, he immediately figured out why the woman was so strange and mysterious during this time.

Young and hot-blooded, good and impulsive, a wave of anger burned from the bottom of his heart, he rushed to the white rich man's house with a sharp long fruit knife, but after all, he was just a weak scholar with no power, and others were guarded by bodyguards, where was the opponent?

He was directly caught and beaten severely, and the white rich man originally wanted to hand him over to the police station, but fortunately, the woman still had a little conscience and pleaded with the rich man to let him go this time.

Coming out of the rich man's house, the boss felt that all thoughts were lost, what studies, what life, what future, he felt that there was no meaning, he was hangover on the street alone, or the fellow who was beaten by him found him and carried him back.

He returned to China, and he couldn't wait for the end of his studies, so he left the foreign country and the bustling city that was sad.

After returning to China, he was depressed, and his family asked him to go out for a walk, so he put away his bags, traveled to many places, met many people, and saw many things.

After decades of ups and downs, he is no longer the handsome young man he was back then, but an unmarried middle-aged man who has been weathered for years, he returned to his hometown, which is the city where Cheng Fan studied at university, and opened this barbecue restaurant with the skills he learned from traveling in various regions.

In his spare time, the boss teaches him some barbecue skills, such as how to identify the maturity of the meat, how to use fire, how to rotate the meat to heat more evenly, how to match the condiments, etc.

Looking at the glowing fire, the firelight seemed to reflect the faces of the boss and uncle, the waiter and the junior, Cheng Fan took off the roasted rabbit, put the three fish into the fire, watched the flame scorch the fish, and then burned it into a pile of black charcoal, and held the rabbit with his paws to salute the fire.

The years pass, the memories are buried, and everything that was once is gone away with the wind after all, in order to pay tribute to those who met and left in the journey of life.
