On Wednesday evening, I had an early dinner and walked to the back gate of the school and onto the gravel road behind the school.

In spring, flowers bloom and everything recovers. Weeds grow wildly on both sides of the gravel road. A frost-white plush plant sprang out from the pole, a man tall, swaying in the evening breeze. The little bugs are playing a concert in the grass.

The sky in the west was red. The sun had set on the other side of the mountain. The flowers and trees on the mountain were dyed red by the sunset.

On the railway, a train is moving slowly.

In the vegetable base, a piece of green, all kinds of seasonal vegetables grow gratifyingly. There are also vegetable farmers who are hard at work.

The old willow tree by the creek is also full of vitality, and the whole body is full of "green silk".

Xiong Yanfei appeared at the door of the back door of the school.

"Zheng Qihang." Xiong Yanfei waved at me and trotted towards me.

"Hey." I waved my hand.

Xiong Yanfei has short and medium hair, and her soft black hair seems to be draped very casually. She wears a white shirt, a light blue denim blouse, a matching denim skirt, and a pair of flat-heeled brown leather shoes. White stockings wrapped tightly around her slender legs.

Pure and beautiful.

"What are you looking at?" Xiong Yanfei's face flushed.

"I don't think it's daytime clothes." I say.

"Strange, you're going to pay attention to my outfit too? This was changed when I went home in the evening. Is it pretty? Xiong Yanfei turned around.

"Pretty, pretty." I admire.

"I knew you were going to compliment me like that."

We walked side by side.

"Remember that time? You sit by the stream and give a, your face full of melancholy, I went to your side on purpose, but you ignored me. I felt like my heartstrings were being gently tugged at by something. Xiong Yanfei pointed to the stream.

"At that time, your attention was on Yu Jinrong."

"It's just a walk with him. I really felt touched. Maybe it's because the sound of the flute is too bleak. ”

"I naturally like this bleak thing, for some reason." I say.

"Was there any special experience? Oh, I remember, the high school entrance examination, the high school entrance examination failed. ”

I laughed but didn't answer.

"Aren't you okay now? So setbacks aren't a bad thing. In fact, people inevitably encounter setbacks. At least the setbacks are food for thought. I have to thank me for the setbacks I've experienced. Xiong Yanfei said.

"Have you experienced any setbacks?" I looked at Xiong Yanfei.

"When I was in my third year of junior high school, I had a serious illness."

"Serious illness? What disease? ”

"I'll tell you when I have a chance. Anyway, it was this serious illness that sent me to the railway middle school, and I am so fortunate to know you. Xiong Yanfei said.

"I should have said this to you." I say.

"I'm talking about how I really feel. I feel happy every day because of knowing you. Even taking medicine is a very happy thing. ”

"Take medicine? Do you have to take medicine every day? "I was amazed.

"Hmm." Xiong Yanfei nodded, "Taking medicine is a compulsory course for me every day. ”

"What disease?"

"Don't be nervous. The doctor said that in six months I would be completely cured. ”

"Oh. That's great. ”

The gravel road runs up the creek. We went up the stream. The water in the creek made a rattling sound.

Crossing the bridge under the railway, I saw a small yellow flower on the side of the road. I ran forward, crouched down in front of the flowers, and carefully picked the flowers.

"What for?" Xiong Yanfei also squatted down beside me.

I didn't make a sound, I continued to pick silently, and when I was picked into a bunch, I stood up.

"For you, Yanfei." I held the flowers in both hands and sent them to Xiong Yanfei.

"Give it to me?"

"Yes. May this bouquet of flowers bring you health and make you recover soon. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

"May Xiong Yanfei be happy every day, and happiness will always be with you."

"I'm so impressed." Xiong Yanfei took the bouquet and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it again, "It's really beautiful." ”

Turn left on the road and cross the creek. Standing on the stone bridge, we saw fish swimming in the stream. This is a stretch of slow water. The water is quiet and quiet. Bushes on both sides jut out over the stream. A trail extends to the side of the creek.

"Zheng Qihang, let's go down and play in the water for a while." Xiong Yanfei suggested.

"Okay."

I walked down the trail. The trail has been unwalked for a long time, slippery.

"Be careful." Before I could finish speaking, Xiong Yanfei, who was following me, slipped on the soles of his feet and threw himself forward. I hurriedly turned around and stretched out my hands to hug Xiong Yanfei's leaning forward.

Xiong Yanfei embraced me whole.

Together, we took two steps back.

For a few seconds, time seemed to stand still. Even the stream flowing beside him was still. Even the floating clouds fluttering in the headspace were still.

"Oops, it's dangerous." After a while, Xiong Yanfei broke away from my embrace and stood up straight.

I noticed that her face was flushed.

"Didn't scare you." I was relieved and my heart was beating.

"Nope. The road surface is too slippery. ”

We walked to the stream, the water was clear, the sand and gravel at the bottom of the water were clearly visible, and the aquatic plants growing on both sides of the stream were also clearly visible in the water. Fish larger than a grain of rice swim in and out of the aquatic plants.

We squatted down and used our hands to hold the water. The water is very cool.

"I want to take a sip." Xiong Yanfei said.

"That's not going to work. The water looks clean, but there are still a lot of microorganisms. ”

"I know. But it's really too clear. Look, there's a big fish. I said.

The big fish Xiong Yanfei was referring to was actually relative to the group of small fish, which was a crucian carp with the width of a finger. The crucian carp swam freely in the water, wagging its tail leisurely, and suddenly burrowed into the aquatic weeds and disappeared.

After a while, the crucian carp swam out of the aquatic weeds again and slowly swam to us, as if it was not afraid of us at all.

"What a cute crucian carp." Xiong Yanfei sighed.

I thrust my hands into the water, and then put my palms together and held up a handful of water, and the crucian carp did not escape, but was scooped up by my hands.

"Show me, show me." Xiong Yanfei was pleasantly surprised.

"Be careful." I say.

Xiong Yanfei gently grabbed the small crucian carp in his hand with his fingers. The little crucian carp was frightened by the sudden attack and struggled desperately.

"It's so powerful."

"It can't tell how scared it is." I say.

"Then let's put it away. Little crucian carp, you go. Xiong Yanfei put the crucian carp into the water.

The crucian carp, which was back in the water, swam quickly towards the grass.

I was touched by this scene.

"Let's go, there's still a quarter of an hour to go to the evening self-study." I said after a while.

"Okay, let's turn back. However, this place is really nostalgic. Xiong Yanfei stood up.

I stood up and said, "I can come with you as often as you like." ”

"Okay, you have to talk and count. Eh, I said Zheng Qihang, ten years from now, will you think of this place, remember this moment? Xiong Yanfei suddenly asked.

"I will. Definitely. I nodded desperately.

We finished the trail and turned onto the gravel road.

"Me too. I'm wondering what it will be like to think about it ten years from now, whether it's regret, nostalgia, or reminiscence. By the way, I should have graduated from college by then. ”

"I graduated a long time ago. It's supposed to be working for three or four years. I said.

"I don't know where I'm going to go to college? You say, can we still be together then? Xiong Yanfei and I walked forward side by side.

"If you want me to be with you, I think I can." My heart was beating faster.

"How could I not wish? So let's apply to the same university? Xiong Yanfei looked sideways at me.

I nodded. The heart trembled again.

Let's go back. Passing through the railway bridge, I saw the school building brightly lit, and I realized that it was a little dark.

Strangely, at this moment, there were two butterflies flying above the grass on the side of the road. They go up and down, one after the other, and follow each other closely.

"Butterflies, beautiful butterflies." Xiong Yanfei said. She grabbed to the grass, bent slightly, and put her thumb and forefinger together to get close to the butterfly.

"Don't catch it." I say. My voice was so loud that I was startled.

"What's wrong?" Xiong Yanfei straightened up.

"I think they* love, I'm afraid you'll hurt them." I realized my own rudeness.

"Ah, yes, I forgot all about that. How happy it is to see them together. ”

"That's why I stopped you. I'm too loud. "I apologize.

"When I was very young, I watched a movie called "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", where the protagonists were buried in a grave and then turned into a pair of butterflies and fluttered, have you seen it? It's romantic. Xiong Yanfei said.

"I've seen it." My heart was sour.

"What's wrong with you, weird sound?" Xiong Yanfei looked at me suspiciously.

The floodgates of memory opened all at once.

"Brother, do people really turn into butterflies?"

"What? Butterfly? ”

"Yesterday's movie, you forgot?"

"Oh. I don't know about this. I touched my head. Hao Junqi was already happy to be able to talk to me, but how could she ask such a question? "Probably not."

"Nope! I think I can, I can! She was suddenly excited.

"That's fine." I looked at her in amazement.

"No, you can. Yes. ”

"Yes."

"I really want to be a butterfly." Hao Junqi's tone softened.

"Why?"

"If I become a butterfly, brother, would you like to become a butterfly too?" Hao Junqi looked at me.

"I do." I said without thinking.

"I knew my brother was willing too." Hao Junqi smiled happily. "I'm thinking that the day my brother leaves, I will become a butterfly and stop on my brother's shoulder, or stop on the top of the car my brother is sitting in, and I can be with my brother every day."

"Then I'll become a butterfly and fly with Kiki all day long. It's fun. "We looked at the sky together for a long time, as if there were actually a pair of butterflies dancing in the air.

"You're not going to be fine, are you?" Xiong Yanfei nudged my arm.

"Ah," I reassured, "it's fine. It's the movie you just talked about that reminds me of when I was a kid. I watched this movie in a place where my parents were devolved. ”

"Oh, what do you remember?"

"Nothing? At that time, I wondered, how can people become butterflies? ”

"How can a grave suddenly crack open and be sewn up when someone gets into it?"

"Yes."
