The day we went to the picnic the weather was very good, the sun was very big, the sky was high, the temperature was relatively high, and if it wasn't for the gust of wind blowing from time to time, we all felt that we had entered early summer.

Zhu Zhuwu's interest in this activity was particularly high, and he was not accompanied by any teacher, so he took us to Chengjiazhuang to "march" alone.

This kind of enthusiasm is very rare for Zhu Zhuwu. You must know that he has never cared about class affairs and does not care about teaching, so when he first unveiled the initiative of Feixiang, everyone was enthusiastic, and we were worried that Zhu Zhuwu did not agree. If even the head teacher does not agree, no matter how enthusiastic everyone is, it will be in vain.

Of course, the fact is that as soon as the squad leader went to ask the head teacher for instructions, Zhu Zhuwu nodded immediately. The squad leader was so moved that he almost knelt down and bowed.

We all thought it was a bit strange.

I, Jie Feixiang, Wu Jianhua, Xiang Jianjun, and Xiang Wangfu took the initiative to apply in a group. Jiefeixiang prepared a spatula and pan, Xiang Jianjun secretly brought a bottle of wine, and I brought Xiong Yanfei's camera at home.

Singing and laughing along the way. The boys raced their bikes and scared the girls on the back rack of their bikes into screaming, but strangely enough, none of the girls wanted to jump off the back rack. A girl was thrown on the side of the road by the boy who was leading her, and she got up and jumped on the back of the bicycle without complaining.

Youth is young, and sorrow is beautiful.

In fact, there are very few girls in our science class, but Jiang Lili went to a technical school, and Xiong Yanfei was sick at home, so it was a great honor to be able to bring female classmates.

If you want to talk about depression, it should be Jie Feixiang, he had already made an appointment with Jiang Lili, but she said something temporary, which pushed Jie Feixiang far away.

Chengjiazhuang is located due north of Jiangjiatan, less than a kilometer away from Jiangjiatan. Jiefeixiang took us to the forefront. As if venting, he pedaled the old truck bike as fast as he could, and the bike creaked and begged at him, and he ignored it.

When passing through Jiangjiatan, Jie Feixiang deliberately abducted his house to bring his family's bacon to our group. The bacon looked black, but the aroma was very strong.

"I tell everyone, you only have one piece per person, but you can't grab it." Jie Feixiang said.

"Can't you bring more?" Xiang Jianjun asked.

"I've turned out all the old stuff in the house. My mom smacked her tongue in pain. ”

"Yes. Meat is so expensive, eating bacon is simply a luxury. Xiang Wangfu said.

"What our peasant children say is hearty." Jie Feixiang said.

"Xiang Wangfu, your sauce is not simple, it cost a lot of money." Xiang Jianjun said, "You may not know that the shredded lean meat in his sauce is delicious." ”

"Don't say any more, my saliva will come out." Wu Jianhua protested.

Soon arrived at the river beach in front of Chengjiazhuang Village. Everyone was excited, some yelled, some sang, and some threw their bikes and ran to the river to play in the water. The water is clear, but the width of the river is less than half that of the Jiangjiatan River. The sun dances on the river.

Some of the boys were playing in a competition. You see the flat rocks drifting along the surface of the water into the distance, leaving a trail of water ripples out on both sides, like a group of competitive swimmers marching forward.

The beach near the water is covered with stones of various sizes, and under the stones are fine grains of sand. Near the beach are clumps of chopstick-thin rods that pull out of the bottom blades and stretch out to the sky, swaying in the wind. This is the reed that Jiefeixiang said (in fact, it is Bamao).

The bamao has also dried up, and the weeds are covered around the bamao bushes, which have also dried up, and it is possible to sit or lie on these weeds, which is absolutely comfortable and soft.

If you look closely, you will see that there are many delicate leaves that burrow out of the ground, showing its vigorous life.

Lying on such weeds is like lying on a huge blanket, facing the sky, and the sun shining softly down is an absolute treat.

Lo and behold, aren't many people already enjoying themselves?

It was a total relaxation. It is the relaxation of the whole body.

Near the riverside are rolling hills, which are densely wooded, mostly fir and pine. Chengjiazhuang is in the col of these hills, or in other words, Chengjiazhuang is in the embrace of these hills.

Most of these small villages are built on the edge of mountains and rivers.

After the students went crazy for a while, the members of each group took up their places in groups, and then divided their work, some built pots and stoves, some went to collect firewood, and some went to the river to wash vegetables and wash rice......

I followed Xiang Wangfu to collect firewood.

I took my camera around and framed it.

"I see that your photos are really crazy, click, click, don't run out of film, you can't take group photos." Xiang Wangfu reminded me.

"I'll keep an eye on it." I say.

"Is it to take a picture back and show Xiong Yanfei?"

"How do you know?"

"Don't we understand your mind?"

We walked around the beach and saw no dry firewood, so we ran into the woods to look for it.

"I really didn't expect Xiong Yanfei to get a terminal illness. Is there no way out at all? Xiang Wangfu asked.

I shook my head, and a sadness rose from the bottom of my heart, "There is no way out. Before she went to Shanghai a few years ago, she had already started chemotherapy, and the side effects of chemotherapy were very large, and she went to Shanghai because of acute chemical pneumonia. Hormone therapy in Shanghai hospitals, hormones are not a good thing. ”

"A lot of people went to see her and said she was fat." Xiang Wangfu said.

"That's the after-effects of hormones."

"It's a shame. But there is no way. A lot of things really have to be fatal. Xiong Yanfei is so happy, let's compare with her, it can be said that there is a world of difference, who wants to be sick but entangled her? If she were asked to choose again, would she rather choose health instead of such good conditions? Xiang Wangfu sighed.

"Every human being is born passive." I sighed heavily.

Or maybe God has set it up. So I thought very openly. Even if you graduate and go back to farming and hunting, you will be happy. ”

"By the way, what do you think after graduation?" I asked.

We went into the woods. There were many dry branches in the forest. The pine needles fell to the ground, and they were red.

"What else can you think? I definitely won't be able to get into college, so I have to go home first. It's very likely that you can learn how to farm. ”

"Don't plan to repeat it? If you repeat your grades, you may still be admitted to university. ”

"You see my mother is so old and in poor health. I don't want her to worry too much. ”

I was speechless. Xiang Wangfu is so filial.

After picking up some dry firewood and returning to the riverbank, several groups of pots and stoves had already been set up, and smoke was already rising above the pots and stoves of several groups. Jiefeixiang complained that we were too slow.

Our group is all "monks" (even if one of the female classmates is arranged in a group, it is not enough), but fortunately, Jie Feixiang and Xiang Jianjun are very capable, one of them is the chef and the other is the deputy, and the cooperation is very tacit. Wu Jianhua was busy lighting a fire.

I was doing chores with Xiang Wangfu. We will do whatever they tell us to do. When there was no water, we went to the river to fetch water; Without soy sauce, we went to other groups to "borrow", but we also had a good time.

As the sun rises, so does the temperature. Many people take off their coats and sweaters, and work in just one underwear. Others hid in the bushes to remove their hair. It's just that a few girls are suffering, and they are still wrapped tightly in sweat, so we don't have any ideas.

Zhu Zhuwu made cameos everywhere. He tasted the food from each group and said "good", "good", "not bad", and "really can't tell".

I don't know why, the dishes we cook are obviously salty, the rice we cook is obviously mushy, the dumplings we cook are obviously not cooked thoroughly, and the poached eggs we fry obviously forget to put salt, but they taste so sweet, so flavorful, and so memorable.

I'm busy capturing shots.

After taking pictures of each group, Xiang Jianjun patted me on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" I'm a little confused.

"That's it." Xiang Jianjun exposed the wine bottle.

"Now?"

"yes, behind the reeds." He walked away with the bottle. Xiang Wangfu followed.

I pulled Jie Feixiang over.

"I'm not done yet." Jie Feixiang said.

"Let Wu Jianhua clean it up. Let's go. ”

The weeds behind the bushes that Xiang Jianjun chose were so thick that we couldn't feel the moisture seeping through the mud – that slightly damp feeling. There was a glass jar on the grass, which was the lean meat sauce brought by Xiang Wangfu. Xiang Jianjun was holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand.

"Come, brothers, one bite at a time. There is only one pair of chopsticks. Xiang Jianjun said.

"I thought you drank this wine during a meal. I don't see you take it out, I'm really anxious. I said.

"How is that possible? It's not enough to drink one person at a meal, how can a few of our brothers enjoy it? Xiang Jianjun took a sip and handed the bottle to Xiang Wangfu. He uses his chopsticks to pick up the sauce in the jar.

When it was Jiefeixiang's turn, he took a big sip.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Don't be too greedy. I said.

"Xiang Jianjun doesn't feel sorry for everyone, why do you feel sorry?" Xiang Wangfu said.

"Drink to drown your sorrows, right?" Xiang Jianjun asked.

"Fuck it." Jie Feixiang said.

"I use wine to drown my sorrows." Xiang Wangfu said.

"I said Jiefeixiang, Jiang Lili's wings are hard now, you have to keep tight." Xiang Jianjun poked at Feixiang's sore spot.

"Hold on? How to keep? How do you say you keep it? There's something temporary, and I think it's a fucking excuse. Xiang Wangfu, do you drink or not? If you don't drink I'll drink! "Jiefeixiang is extremely depressed.

The wine bottle grabbed Xiang Wangfu's hand, "Who said I don't drink?" Who wants not to drink such a good wine? ”

We just drank it one by one, and talked about things that were pleasant and unpleasant. The wine is very spicy, but it is very flavorful. You take a sip of wine, lie on your back and look at the sky, the white clouds float in the sky, and you feel that you are moving. The sound of birds chirping from the woods and the sound of the river rushing makes you feel like you have entered the artistic conception of Wang Wei's poems.

A bottle of wine bottoms out quickly. We were all sweating profusely.

The wine is spicy, the stomach is burning, the sun is shining, and the face is hot. Lying on the grass, I was dazed, and I only heard Xiang Jianjun shouting for us to go to the forest to rest, but I didn't move. I literally fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I vaguely heard shouting. I wanted to open my eyes but couldn't. Then, as if someone was shouting in my ear, I woke up with a sudden start.

"It's on fire, it's on fire in the woods!" I don't know who shouted.

I jumped to my feet.

Xiang Wangfu, who was sleeping next to me, woke up.

"What's wrong? What happened? Xiang Wangfu asked.

"I don't know." I say.

A lot of people are pointing to the other side of the mountain and looking at the other side of the mountain.

On the other side of the mountain, smoke billowed from the west side of the forest where we were collecting firewood, and the fire was spreading to this side of the forest.

Jie Feixiang ran over from everyone. "What are you still stunned about, go to the fire."

"Fire?" Xiang Wangfu said.

"That's right. If you don't help with the fire, it will hurt the village. Walk! Jie Feixiang said.

"Let's go!" I say.

I threw the camera to a female classmate and followed Jiefeixiang into the woods. Xiang Wangfu also followed.

We ran along the path on the outskirts of the forest to the fire. I heard the crackling sound of the leaves burning. The flames were rising.

Each of us broke the trunk of a pine sapling and held it against the spreading flames.

We pounced hard. The flames are pressing. We sweat like rain.

One flame was extinguished, but another flame arose. The fire zone is getting bigger and bigger. We watched as the fire spread into the woods.

"It's not good, Xiang Jianjun is still sleeping in the woods." Xiang Wangfu said.

"What?!" Jie Feixiang asked.

"Xiang Jianjun is still sleeping in the woods."

"Then you're not going to wake him up? Go wake him up. "Jiefeixiang is in a hurry.

"Okay." Xiang Wangfu said and rushed into the forest.
