"Where are we meeting tomorrow?"

Xu Hao hugged the billiard cue to his chest and kept rubbing the powder.

"You don't want money, do you?"

I lay on the pool table, trying to imitate the appearance of those snooker players on TV, aiming the club at the white ball, slowly moving forward and backward, and finally made up my mind, and with a bang, it was ridiculously off.

"This is the consequence of not preparing for war," Xu Hao proudly pushed me aside, "Get out of the way." ”

"Isn't it in Nanshan Park?" Fei Ge sat on the corner of the billiard table with half his buttocks, holding a can of Coke in his left hand, and playing with the red ball next to the hole with his right hand, just right to dodge the white ball hit by Xu Hao, "You didn't tell me when you changed places?" ”

"Don't move!" Xu Hao shouted across from him, "I can't fight if you move around!" ”

"I didn't change it, it's because he has a poor memory."

I also followed Xu Hao's example and complained: "This club is not good." ”

"If you play badly, admit it, who is the cue to provoke whom?" Zhou Yanfei drank a few sips of Coke and grabbed the cue, "Look at my brother, I'll teach you to play billiards." ”

"Look at my posture," he gestured, "with your fingers apart, use the tiger's mouth between your left thumb and index finger to clamp the club, do you know where the tiger's mouth is?" Hold the tail of the club with your right hand, lower your body, press down on your waist, spread your legs naturally, center of your eyes, chin and cue in a three-point line, and ...... with a good posture

Before he could finish speaking, the white ball flew directly into a beautiful parabola on the billiard table.

I pretended to look into the distance: "One force...... And then what? ”

"One force...... The white ball took off...... Hahaha. ”

Xu Hao and I smiled forward and back.

"Mistakes, it's pure mistakes, the horse can still miss the front hooves," Fei Ge went to pick up the ball in a gray manner, "Let's wash the dishes and fight again." ”

When Fei Ge was swinging the ball, I asked Wu Hao: "Is your family properly arranged?" ”

"Don't worry, it's been approved by my mother, let's just don't tear the roof over tomorrow."

"Okay, you're doing it right."

"Look at your picking, I originally invited us to a big meal, but in the blink of an eye, I regretted that I made it at home."

Xu Hao's words are not without reason, a few days ago the freshman show, I unexpectedly won the first grade, the school boasted that the performance was of a competitive nature, since there is a ranking, of course, there must be a reward, I got carried away, promised them a big meal in advance, how do you know......

"You don't want to look at the show reward something? Mock test questions worth 200 yuan, is this a human thing? I tried my best to argue, "And I was kept in the dark one by one, if it wasn't for my integrity, would the show have won the first place?" ”

"I'll be fair", Zhou Yanfei walked over with a triangular frame, "Tong Lei's encounter with us this time is definitely a blood mold, I understand him." ”

My hateful teeth itched: "At that time, I counted you as the most happy, and I didn't have time to settle accounts with you for the two feet that kicked my ass, and I still had the face to say cool things here." ”

Xu Hao bent down and was about to kick off, hearing what I said, he straightened up again: "As long as you are not blind, you can see that you like Xia Yu, through the show, Xia Yu must also understand how much you care about her, it is really cheap and good." ”

"I still want to thank you for my feelings?"

"That's not necessary, brothers talk about money hurts feelings," Xu Hao propped the club on the ground, "Although the brothers are a little sacrificed, but it's not particularly big, if you can't get over it, just pay the billiards fee, we won't stop it." ”

"Good idea", Zhou Yanfei said, "and my can of Coke." ”

I was so angry that I couldn't speak, so I simply sat down on the couch.

It's okay not to mention Xia Yu, but mentioning her makes me itch. As the old saying goes, if you don't see each other for three days, if you don't see each other for three days, nine years will pass, which is really difficult. I don't know what Xia Yu is doing now, he must be very tired, but last night I ran all night in my dream.

In a flash, could she be with her old friends, and who would those friends be? Unconsciously asked, "Do you know which school Xia Yu originally belonged to?" ”

Xu Hao was concentrating on playing billiards, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to me, so he casually left a sentence: "You can go and check the household registration book." ”

After that, he hit the white ball, but as soon as he rolled halfway through it, he was picked up by a hand, and the owner of this hand said, "You don't need to check the household registration book, I know." ”

Xu Hao thought that it was Fei Ge again, raised his head and just wanted to scold, but swallowed back before the words came out, and the person who took the ball was Zhang Shanshan.

No.36

Zhang Shanshan's unexpected appearance was unexpected.

"Why are you here?" As I spoke, I got up from the couch and looked out at the door for a long time.

After confirming that it was only her, I was slightly disappointed.

"Is it written here that girls are not allowed to enter?" She casually tossed the ball in her hand. Seeing her like this, I suddenly felt the urge to give her two more balls, wondering if she would let the three balls in her hand flicker around like a circus clown.

When she saw Xu Hao coming over, she immediately changed her expression and said to him with a smile: "Xu Hao, where can I put this ball for you to play?" ”

Xu Hao wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he couldn't help it, and turned around and shouted to the two of us: "You see how understanding Shanshan is. ”

Zhang Shanshan smiled on her face, holding the white ball and drawing back and forth around the table, only hating that there were too few white balls, and she couldn't put one next to each ball.

Fei Ge gave her an idea: "Why don't you just put the balls on the table in the hole, so that Xu Hao can win without a fight"

"Really?" Zhang Shanshan has no distractions, she only has Xu Hao in her eyes, I am afraid that as long as Xu Hao gives an order, she will really do it.

I saw that this would not work, so I immediately interrupted them: "Don't fix all this uselessness, finish what you just said." ”

Zhang Shanshan didn't look at me, but said to Xu Hao stupidly: "I know there is a newly opened milk tea shop near here, which tastes good." ”

No.37

The milk tea tastes really good, because I ordered the most expensive extra-large cup of red bean pudding, especially if I had a treat.

The name of the store is 'Octave Space', and the walls on both sides are plastered with posters of Jay Chou's album, and his songs are played on a loop as background music. It's just that there are tables and chairs along the walls on both sides, and some of them are not really visible.

The boss is a beautiful girl, in her early twenties, with a pair of ponytails, and she is very enthusiastic about dealing with people. I envy her because she can support herself and don't have to worry about her parents asking for pocket money.

The shop is decorated with ingenuity, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on each side of the entrance, and the four of us sit by the window and watch the cars go outside. On the opposite side of the glass wall is the bar counter of the small shop, which can only seat three people at most. On the wall of the bar hangs a huge oil painting that takes up almost half of the wall, showing a strange woman in a red robe who controls a crystal ball. I concluded that she was a gypsy because they were the only ones on TV playing crystal balls. There were also a lot of cartoon characters around the woman, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

"Well, for the sake of this cup of milk tea, I'll tell you."

Zhang Shanshan slowly rolled up the red beans at the bottom of the cup with a straw and took a sip.

"Then you can tell me quickly, what is the sale," I was impatient.

"Xia Yu Middle School is the middle school of the city's No. 1 Middle School."

The city's No. 1 middle and junior high school, the most powerful school in the city, is a school that is so powerful that you can't get in 100% if you have good grades.

If you want to study there, you must have an outstanding family at the same time as you have outstanding grades.

"It's a bit powerful", Zhou Yanfei and Xu Hao couldn't help but look at it.

The answer to this four-cup milk tea made me feel lost.

Will there be an end to the wishful thinking of not having the right door?

Sadness is surging like a flood of beasts.

I watched the strangers outside the glass walls hurrying around, appearing when I was unsuspecting, and walking away without asking for my opinion, until even their backs were blurred.

It seems that there is an invisible wall separating us into two worlds.

Who's next? Summer rain?

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the eyes, and there was some pain.

I seem to see the end of the story in advance, we are all passengers on this bus called youth, sit together for a while, and get off separately, maybe goodbye, maybe goodbye.

The viaduct passed.

There are many more intersections.

It's not a twisty journey.

It's here in a blink of an eye.

As a seventeen-year-old boy, I always tell others how to be confident in my essays, but I have an inferiority complex that I have no teacher for.

No.38

Marx said that the process of development of things is full of twists and turns.

For example, the alarm clock set last night didn't wake me up, but it managed to wake up my dad, and he picked me up from the bed again, which is twists and turns.

In these years, even the alarm clock knows that the curve saves the country.

Unfortunately, I was still late, even though I didn't even eat breakfast.

When I arrived at the gate of Nanshan Park, Xu Hao and Fei Ge were kicking canned footballs with you and me.

Wu Junting saw that I finally appeared, and yelled at me: "Are you here for lunch?" ”

I had expected that Wu Junting would be in trouble, but I knew that I was wrong, so I could only scratch the back of my head with my hand, and said with a smile on my face: "I didn't eat breakfast, if I can really eat lunch directly, it's not impossible." ”

While talking, Xia Yu came suddenly, with a smile on his face, a pink wide-brimmed sunhat on his head, a camera hanging around his neck, and his eyes were curved like crescent moons, and the two lying silkworms were extremely cute: "Can you eat?" ”

If one day, Xia Yu asked me like the heroine in an idol drama: "Where am I the best-looking?" ”

As the leading actor, I definitely won't answer the same thing: "You look good everywhere." ”

I would tell her bluntly, "Eyes, eyes are the best." ”

Will there be a day?

"What are you talking about, what are you in a daze," Wu Junting asked next to him.

I made the old mistake of only smirking and not talking when I saw Xia Yu.

Boom, the 'can football' rolled to my feet, I quickly took the opportunity to kick it and ran away, and without running a few steps, I turned back to Xia Yu and said, "Let's go, let's go in quickly." ”

No.39.

"I'm also underage, I'm only seventeen, which one says I can't play?"

Fei Ge is under a children's slide marked with a warning sign for minors only, and he is in a fight with an old lady with white hair.

"You are such a young man with a big waist and a round waist, grab the slide with my grandson, and you are not ashamed!" The old aunt refused to give up, took out her glasses from her pocket, and pointed to the warning sign, "See, not only are you underage, but you must be less than one meter four in height." ”

The rest of us were all watching from a distance of five meters, not daring to get too close, and not daring to interject, the provincial aunt said that we big guys were together to bully her.

At this time, Xia Yu quietly walked behind me and whispered, "Don't move." ”

I don't know why, I froze there as if I had been immobilized. She put the camera on my shoulder, snapped, picked it up and hid behind me with her back to back.

"How do you act like a thief?" I asked.

"I'm afraid that my aunt will say that I infringed on her portrait rights."

Fei Ge was confident: "I eat well, I can't grow up quickly." ”

Xu Hao and I looked at this posture, and we couldn't guarantee that he would say anything out of tune, so we hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and nodded at the old aunt: "I'm sorry for you, my brother hasn't taken medicine for the past two days, which frightened you." ”

When the aunt saw us apologize, she was even more imposing: "I'll just say, take medicine quickly if you are sick, your brain is watt!" ”

"Yo, you Shanghainese, I agree, Watt is indeed a bad ass."

She didn't move for a long time, obviously wondering what I meant by what I had just said. After a moment, he took the hand of his grandson behind him: "Let's not play here, a bunch of neurotics!" ”

Seeing her go away, we took a long breath and sat down next to the slide to enjoy the fruits of the battle.

I didn't say anything for a while.

Wu Junting stepped forward and patted Fei Ge on the shoulder: "Yes, I dare to quarrel with my Chinese aunt, and I haven't lost in momentum, it's simply admirable." ”

Zhang Shanshan took Xia Yu's hand and sat next to her, ignoring Fei Ge, but said to Xia Yu: "Especially if you dare to grab the slide with children, it should be five centimeters thick." ”

Xia Yu was fiddling with the camera and asked puzzledly: "Five centimeters?" ”

Zhang Shanshan deliberately raised her voice: "Five centimeters of cheek." ”

Fei Ge lost the energy he had just now, drooped his head sheepishly, and whispered to us, "I just want to have fun, and I don't want to bully children." ”

No.40

Later, Zhang Shanshan admitted that her words were a bit excessive.

Fei Ge was very generous, and regained his former spirit: "The main purpose of coming out to play today is to have fun, these are all small episodes." ”

We are also very happy to see him come back to the spirit.

Xu Hao clenched his fists in his chest: "Now the brothers are strong and strong, and they have no goal, please show me a clear way." ”

"Oops," Fei Ge made a frightened gesture and stepped forward to hold Xu Hao's hand, "Brother Xu Xian saw outside, a big brother for life, just mess with me in the future." ”

Xu Hao's appearance was so regretful, but he still didn't smile: "What does the big brother think now?" ”

He pointed into the distance with his hand: "Since we have arrived here, we might as well go to the Wenqu Xing Temple on the top of the mountain." ”

I watched the two of them sing and harmonize in front of me, and said with a wry smile, "Shanshan, you shouldn't apologize. ”

No.41

The place that Fei Ge said was a Taoist temple on the top of the park.

I heard Zeng Xu Hao talk about it in the past, and it was indeed a few years, and there were only a few small tiled houses and few tourists. Suddenly, one year, after the park was renovated, it was hyped that it was built by Wenqu Xing. The effect was immediate, and since then, there has been an endless stream of people asking for a sign and praying before the college entrance examination every year, and the incense is better every year, and parents have finally found a good way to improve their children's grades without studying.

Nanshan Park is built on the mountain and river, and the two ancient roads are built around the mountain, so we decided to divide the troops into two roads, and finally meet at the top of the mountain.

I, Xia Yu and Zhou Yanfei mainly attacked the left side.

Even in October, the vegetation and trees on both sides of the road are still lush, except for the occasional red wishing ribbon hanging from it, swaying in the wind.

We searched for our way, and the higher we went, the more red and green grew, and when we reached the halfway point of the mountain, it was as if we had been submerged in a sea of red.

"I'm really embarrassed about these trees," Xia Yu stopped under a tree, the tree looked like it should be some years old, and it was difficult for the two of them to hug it, "Tong Lei, help me take a photo." ”

I stepped forward to take the camera, a little at a loss.

Xia Yu asked cautiously: "Haven't you used it?" ”

"Hmm." I'm a little embarrassed.

She walked up to me, pointed to the button on the camera, and said, "Look, you have to adjust the focus first...... Also hang up the film...... Then the black button on the right hand side sees it, it's the shutter, just press it. ”

The girl in front of her was gentle and straightforward, and the mountain wind blew through her hair, which was the smell of Head & Shoulders.

She suddenly looked up at me: "How is it, have you learned?" ”

"Huh?" I came back to my senses, "Or...... Or you can tell it again. ”

She frowned: "Have you listened well?" ”

"Listen, I listen," I snatched my camera, "isn't it just pressing the shutter." ”

She tiptoed the camera back from my hand again: "The old lady believes in your evil, you didn't listen to it well just now." ”

I approached her and tried to snatch the camera back: "Look at you, what about the most basic trust between people? ”

When she saw me coming forward, she hurried to hide behind the tree: "It has been completely lost." ”

I chased after her, and she ran in front, so she started a cone movement centered on the ancient tree. Later, he ran until he ran out of strength, but no one wanted to give up, so he simply gasped and walked.

Everything happened under Zhou Yanfei's nose, and he couldn't hold it back anymore: "Two big brothers and sisters, if you two take pictures and think the light is not bright enough...... Let's get it straight! As for turning me into a light bulb? ”

Xia Yu said: "This is based on the protection of my image, you don't understand." ”

But I said, "It's based on the dignity of a man, and you don't understand it." ”

Zhou Yanfei was not convinced: "Then in your opinion, what should I understand?" ”

Our Xia Yu said in unison: "This is a problem!" ”

No.42

In the end, I got my wish to get the camera, even though Xia Yu claimed that if I didn't shoot well, he would kill me.

"Half body or whole body?"

"Full body."

I got down on one knee, held up my camera, and admired the summer rain in the lens unbridledly.

The corners of her mouth were upturned, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead after exercise, and even the roots of her ears were red.

We remained still for half a minute, feeling like the wind was holding our breath for a moment.

"I kept moving just now, and now I can't move again."

Fei Ge complied, with a collapsed expression on his face.

Xia Yu was amused by Fei Ge's actions, and smiled even sweeter.

I hurriedly seized the opportunity: "Okay, don't move, 1, 2, 3." ”

Click.

No.43.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the other three were already waiting impatiently at the entrance of the temple.

When we finally came up, we couldn't help but complain like a storm.

"Did you go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?"

"Did you go to the Dragon King of the West Sea to borrow the golden hoop stick?"

"Did you go to Princess Iron Fan to borrow a banana fan?"

"I've really been there, and in the end, who thinks that it will be like coming to his old man's house and not letting people go." I spread my hands, and there was a sense of reluctance all over my body.

Xu Hao crossed his hands on his chest unconvinced: "It means that we are wrong to blame you?" ”

"It's not to blame," Xia Yu walked up to me, "Whoever doesn't make mistakes when they're young, recognizes their mistakes, and corrects them next time is still a good comrade." ”

"That is," I took over, "Zengzi once said, I am three times a day, and you can experience it for yourself." ”

Xu Hao was speechless for a while, and Zhang Shanshan took two steps forward: "Look at Xu Hao's anger, if he has three long and two short, I will ......"

"...... you?" Hearing her words, the attention of our big guys was attracted to the past, and we were curious about how she answered, especially Xu Hao, whose surprised expression clearly revealed some expectations.

Zhang Shanshan found out that she had dug a pit for herself with her casual words, and she took the initiative to jump into the pit and shouted cheers to the people who filled in the soil outside.

She turned her back suddenly, lowered her head and walked to the door of the Taoist temple, and whispered as she walked, "I'll ...... I'll ignore you. ”

This answer is disappointing, there should have been more exciting, but looking at the way she is twisting now, and thinking of the four cups of milk tea yesterday, it actually makes me feel a sense of revenge.

We followed behind Zhang Shanshan, and Wu Junting suddenly found that something was wrong: "Huh? Zhou Yanfei, why don't you say a word, it's not your usual style. ”

Fei Ge walked at the end, put his hands in his pockets, and pretended to be vicissitudes of life: "Have you ever seen a light bulb that can speak?" ”

No.44

Even after renovation and expansion, the Wenqu Star Temple only has three halls in the front, middle and back.

There are very few visitors today, and occasionally see a few small Taoist priests shuttling between the halls, leaving two giant incense burners on the square of the front hall standing in the wind. After all, there is still some time before next year's college entrance examination, and those who ask for it don't want to bother all kinds of immortals too early.

It was afternoon, and the temple was really light and tasteless. If it is a Buddhist sanctuary, you still know that if you put your hands together and bow down, you will still be able to make a appearance. Now that I am a Taoist, I don't even know the most basic number of offerings, so I can only watch from afar, for fear that I will enter the wrong house, and my uncle will not recognize it clearly, and I will say the wrong thing on the wrong mountain.

The gods and goddesses enshrined in the hall, they don't know me, and I don't know them, I can still grin at them, but they will always look cold.

Thinking of this, I can't help but laugh, if one day, I say, "How are you?" ”

He replied: "fine thank you......"

It was such a beautiful meeting that I couldn't think about it......

Talking and laughing, we have reached the apse.

The name of the apse is Wenchang Palace, and I heard the little Taoist priest say that the worship is the Wenchang Emperor, who is in charge of the fame and fortune of the scholars, and my understanding is that it is equivalent to the current □□ chief.

A small table was set up on the right side of the main hall, on which were written on paper the words "Asking for Signature". Behind the desk sat a crane-faced white-haired old man, with that kind of ear-wrapping headphones on his head, his body swaying from side to side, not seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it.

Fei Ge sighed: "Society is really progressing, this is an old way in the new era." ”

"Have you heard of it?" Wu Junting pretended to be mysterious, "It is said that the sign asked for here is quite effective." ”

"Yes, yes, I also know about this", Xia Yu was obviously very interested, "not only accurate, but also can guide you on how to save the day." ”

Zhang Shanshan was also eager to try: "Is there really one?" Shall we go then? ”

The three girls chattered and hugged each other.

Xu Hao squinted at them: "The woman's opinion." ”

They turned a deaf ear, so Fei Ge deliberately raised his voice: "It's the twenty-first century, do you know?" We are idealistic, moral, educated, and disciplined young people in the new century, so how can we believe in these ghosts, snakes, and gods? ”

This is a blatant demolition, I can't help but glance at the old way of the new era, and see that his eyes are still slightly closed, so I can rest assured.

Zhang Shanshan said: "You don't believe it, but aren't you curious? ”

No.45

"Zhongping!" The old man squinted, and the headphones were placed at his side.

"Master Dao, what is the way to crack this sign?"

Fei Ge was sitting on pins and needles, and the four young people just now disappeared and flew away.

The old man blew his beard and glared: "Can't crack!" The middle draw is bland, asking for it is equal to not asking, the next one. ”

I whispered to Xu Hao, "It's better to buy a few pieces of ice cream for ten yuan." ”

Xu Hao nodded at me: "Oreo is not bad. ”

"Substitution!" Xia Yu picked up Fei Ge, who had not yet recovered his taste, from the bench, and respectfully handed the sign in his hand to Lao Dao, "You have a look." ”

Lao Dao took Xia Yu's bamboo stick and took a closer look: "I don't know what the girl wants to ask for?" ”

"Can you not say it?"

"Yes."

"Damn, that's okay?" Zhou Yanfei was very surprised, as if he had missed 100 million, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I also have the right to protect personal privacy." ”

Lao Dao opened half of his eyes and stared at him: "Did you ask?" ”

"Nope."

"Then what nonsense are you!"

I couldn't help but laugh.

Lao Dao said to Xia Yu again: "This is signed, you look at the signed poem and say: Jun today and follow fate, water comes naturally and listens to nature." Don't sigh that the year is unsatisfactory, and the new fortune is happy. ”

He twisted his beard with one hand: "This sign is a good thing, but where it is drawn, first bitter and then sweet, first no and then Thailand, although there is the pain of tossing and turning, there is no need to lament the sadness, wait until the clouds break the sunrise, everything will come naturally." ”

Xia Yu smiled when he heard this, turned around and asked me: "Tong Lei, you can also ask for a signature, you know all about me." ”

I waved my hand: "I really don't believe this." ”

She instantly changed into a pitiful look: "Don't you ask for a signature?" ”

I wondered, "Ah...... Is this necessary? ”

"You're really! Target! Don't ask for a visa? She stood up and pointed to the rack where the buckets were kept, her eyes bulging with a look I had never seen before but I couldn't refuse.

I hesitated: "Uh...... Let me think about it. ”

She slowly took two steps closer to me: "You! Be! Say! True! Target! Don't ask for a visa? ”

Although it was only two steps, it seemed to me that every step was loud, and the sound of the upper rubbing against the stone floor made my heart beat faster.

"Well, I beg!"

I gave up resistance completely, and I felt a sense of happiness that I had escaped death.

She smiled: "That's good." ”

Wu Junting stood next to Zhou Yanfei and whispered, "I suddenly found that I understood you very well. ”

In the next second, they were all standing behind me, listening to the old Tao with great interest.

I saw him say slowly: "You signed Zhongping, and the poem was attached: Tao said that the sand is the first to see gold, only because the gentleman does not bother." Ronghua always has the effect of poetry and books, and he carefully looks for it. ”

He paused: "This sign is auspicious, where it is difficult in advance, you need to wait patiently, not to mention hard work, if there is something difficult to solve, you may wish to recall the past, the good causes planted in the past will be solved and the good results will be solved." ”

We looked at each other as we spoke.

I asked, "Please tell me more." ”

"The subtlety can only be experienced by the donor himself."

After saying that, he put on his headphones again and swayed.
