Wen Tong's hometown is in Pinghu, a prefecture-level city under Jiaxing, located on the coast of the East China Sea, the intersection of the diamond-shaped diagonal of the four major cities of "Shanghai, Hangzhou, Jiangsu and Ningbo", connecting the JS district of Shangdu in the north and Hangcheng Bay in the south.

When she graduated from high school and went to Sijiu City, she and her friends first took a bus to Fengxian Nanqiao Bus Station in Shangdu, and then took a bus to Hongqiao to take the train.

This time she came back alone, and suddenly wanted to fly and go to Hangzhou, which she had never had the chance to go to.

The plane at half past four in the afternoon arrived in Hangzhou at almost seven o'clock.

No one picked up the airport, Wen Tong has no friends or relatives in this city, but she has a purpose.

Wen Tong followed the route he searched for before and took the airport bus to downtown Hangcheng.

She put on her headphones and began listening to "Fish: Fish" again, which could only be heard for forty seconds.

"In a clear lotus pond, a small fish looks sad"

"Above its head, a swallow flutters its wings and flies high"

"The swallows are passing through the blue sky, and the wind is laughing freely"

"They laugh and laugh and laugh for a moment, from daylight to mid-dawn"

"Fish... Fish... Fish..."

When the fish's clean and clear voice stopped again, Wen Tong dialed Meng Shi's number.

Meng Shi ate the noodles cooked by Li Ji at Old Man Lu's place, and asked Qin Qingxue to inform the crew to start work at Li Zhijie's bar.

Then he led Guan Bin from Di'anmen West Street across Qianhai and Houhai, and entered Yanliu Xiejie.

Guan Bin opened his mouth to complain about why he didn't drive, but Meng Shi's mobile phone rang.

Meng Shi glanced at the caller ID, picked it up, and said, "What's wrong, sister." ”

In Li Zhijie's bar, Wen Tong gave a lot of care, and Meng Shi kept calling him sister.

Somehow, Meng Shi's simple words suddenly made Wen Tong feel uncomfortable, like a blunt thorn that couldn't find its specific location and was hidden under the skin.

This kind of discomfort for no reason made Wen Tong unable to open his mouth at once, and his heart was uncomfortable.

Meng Shi asked, and only the sound of breathing came from the other side.

He stopped, didn't speak again, and waited quietly.

One minute, two minutes.

At seven o'clock, most of the shops were open.

Among the red men and green women who came from Houhai Bar Street and were going to Houhai, Meng Shi was wearing a loose vest, holding a mobile phone without saying a word, and stood in the middle in a daze, somewhat eye-catching.

Guan Bin wore a mask, lowered the brim of his hat, and silently moved away from him.

After another two minutes, Wen Tong hummed "Fish" softly and asked, "How do you sing it later?" ”

Meng Shi scratched his head and sang into the phone,

"The fisherman said, fish, fish, don't complain, who called you a fish

Fish, fish

You never know why you're being lifted out of the water,

Fish, fish

Why don't you have wings to fly?

Fish, fish

You should be as proud as a swallow and as comfortable as the wind

Fish, fish

You're going to laugh from daylight to dusk."

Meng Shi sang in the local dialect like Yu, and Wen Tong barely understood the meaning.

His voice is not as clean and lively as that of a fish, so the second half of the song that comes out of his mouth feels something else entirely, like two completely different songs.

The fish sings relaxed and inspirational, while Meng Shi is like an old father who earnestly advises and has good expectations for his daughter.

Wen Tong wanted to say that your relationship is really good, but the words became "The fish sings much better than you." ”

Meng Shi said: "That girl shook her head and shook her tail and said that my words were not good, saying that the fish could swim around as long as their mouths were full, why should they learn swallows and wind, and after laughing for a long time, their stomach and cheeks hurt,

Imagine that the girl patted me on the shoulder and said seriously: Uncle, the dishes you shoot videos and shoot songs, either without lyrics, or scribble, alas, like a fool, what can I do in the future. ”

Meng Shi said and laughed.

Wen Tong could tell through his mobile phone that he was very happy.

Meng Shi's happiness made her a little incomprehensible.

Her family is ruled by her father, and she has no objections, and she has been taught since childhood that you have to think about this family.

The most common thing my father said was, how hard I work, have you seen why girls read so many books.

No one ever told her that you have to learn to be proud, to be comfortable, to laugh.

She suddenly became a little jealous and said, "What are you laughing at, the fish said that, aren't you angry?" ”

Meng Shi said: "What are you angry about? Sometimes, what others teach is not necessarily right, and you have to think for yourself.

As long as the fish knows that she is a fish, and she also wants to be a fish, that is enough,

She was right, the small pond swims around, and you can eat enough when you open your mouth, so why learn what swallows and the wind,

Of course, the premise is that she must know that there are hooks, bait, and nets in this world, so don't be caught easily. ”

Wen Tong said, "She has you." ”

After saying that, she suddenly realized why she was uncomfortable because of 'what's wrong sister' - in Meng Shi's consciousness, if you look for me, you must have a problem, so what can I help you? This is from the bones, unconscious, confident, and even condescending.

Wen Tong thought to himself, it was damn what stabbed him, sensitive and fragile self-esteem.

Once again, she realized that he was really different from before.

Meng Shi said, "This song is stored in the computer, I'll send it to you when I go back." ”

Wen Tong didn't refuse, and asked, "Do you know what you are?" What do you want to be? ”

Meng Shi asked rhetorically: "What do you think I am?" ”

Wen Tong thought for a while and said, "I don't know, you have changed so much." ”

Meng Shi said with a smile: "Peng, the back is like Mount Tai, the wings are like the clouds hanging from the sky, swaying for 90,000 miles, the clouds are overwhelming, the blue sky is negative, this is flying."

The cicada, leaping up, but a few down, soaring between the basils, this is also flying.

So it doesn't matter what it is, it's just a big and small debate in the end. ”

Wen Tong shook his eyes and asked, "The debate between the big and the small?" ”

Meng Shi said: "It's like a child taking a glass of water, digging a small pit in the ground and pouring it in, putting a leaf on the water, blowing with his mouth, shouting that the wind is coming, and he can play all day."

You look at it with the eyes of an adult, this kid is stupid, what's so funny about this? But for a child, in fact, he is as happy as an adult doing business and earning 10 million.

This is the debate between big and small, no one is right or wrong, adults and children, the degree of happiness is the same, but the way is different.

So whether it's a big peng bird, a small fish, or a bird, it doesn't matter what it is, it's important to know clearly what you want to do and what makes you happy. ”

Wen Tong was silent.

Meng Shi asked: "Sister, what do people want to live for a lifetime?" ”

Wen Tong muttered, "What's the picture? ”

Meng Shi said: "Tu Yile. ”

Wen Tong smiled bitterly: "It's easy for you to say. ”

Meng Shi walked to the side, squatted down by the wall of a paper-cutting shop, and said: "My hometown is a small village, and there is an old mansion left by the late youth, and now only Grandma lives alone.

You follow the cobblestone path to the courtyard, and on the left used to be a pond, but now a loofah has been filled.

There is a stone mill on the side of the melon shelf, wash it, and then get a shelf to use.

Raise your eyes, the house tiles have just been renovated,

Walk forward is the open hall, push open the door on the left side of the front, and go around from behind the earthen stove to the utility room.

Reach out and pull the rope by the wooden wall, the light is on, and there is a low ladder in the middle,

I climbed up, pushed the baffle open, and built a small terrace on the roof, with a chaise longue and a piano chair.

You sit down, the breeze blows, the bamboo forest sways in front of you, the squirrel's mouth stuffed with stolen peanuts jumps in front of you, and crawls into the tree hole not far away.

Lift the mosquito net, climb down from the ladder in front, and on the right is a wide well that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

You put a watermelon in a wooden bucket tied with hemp rope next to it, and submerge the wooden bucket into the well water.

There is a path next to the well, and from the path through the bamboo forest is seven points,

The rice has been cut, and the remaining straw is tied into a small tent and stands in the field, waiting to be dried and burned into nutrients, and returned to the land again.

Going up along the ridge, less than five minutes is a stream where the water level just exceeds the calf.

You wade barefoot, walk along the cement road for a few minutes, there is a small Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, the Taoist temple is not there on weekdays, and there is a lock from the outside.

You look inside, the view is dedicated to the Jade Emperor, there are four heavenly kings standing on the left and right, the opposite side of the statue is the stage, every April and August in the village to worship the statue of the god, the troupe will be invited to sing, at this time, all kinds of vendors selling croquettes, oil helmets, wontons, beef soup gather outside the Taoist temple,

At night, the sky just wiped dark, the old people and children set off to watch the play, the first encore is generally Journey to the West, without any plot, just dress up as a monkey and turn the head from here to there, just win a full house, the children read this, three or five in groups, began to pick snacks, buy food, eat and drink, and run home satisfied,

There is a road up the hill to the left of the Taoist temple, and there are several abandoned houses halfway up the mountain, which are said to be old schools from a long time ago.

Walking along the old school inside, there are more than a dozen peach trees left by Grandpa, May peaches, crisp,

The mountain opposite the peach tree used to grow tea, but now no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the tea trees are still there, but no one cares about it, and it is wild. ”

"Half of the mountain, you can rent it for a year for thousands of yuan." Meng Shi chattered, and then asked Wen Tong, who had been silent, "Sister, are you going?" ”

Wen Tong was silent.

Meng Shi smiled: "You wait for me to earn 200,000 yuan." ”

Wen Tong said, "Okay." ”

For Meng Shi, it is not difficult to earn 200,000 yuan, and it can even be said to be simple.

And for Wen Tong, it is difficult to figure out what she really wants, and then throw off the shackles and firmly go in the direction she wants.

Meng Shi can't say it, he doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't have a position to say it, don't care about your blood-sucking family, don't be a demon to help your brother!

"200,000" Meng Shi is available at any time, but this requires Wen Tong to speak first.

The phone hung up, Meng Shi stood up, Guan Bin came over, and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Meng Shi tilted his head to look at him, "Where are you going?" ”

Guan Bin said: "Your hometown, don't you want to go back to Shangdu on the eleventh, I just happened to be traveling with you, and I also went back to the school to see the teacher." ”

Meng Shi gave him a kick, "Climb." ”
