Trick No. 3: The Fierce Spirit by the Lake Chapter 9 The Mercy Lake
After walking along the intercity highway and taking a look at the cityscape on the side of the road, Wei Xiaofeng found that H City was indeed very different from S City. S City is a sub-provincial city with a developed economy, but it inevitably sacrifices the environment. Although there are no dense skyscrapers in H City, it has a beautiful environment full of greenery. For Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng, who have stayed in the big city for a long time and seen all over the reinforced concrete jungle, this place makes their body and mind happy all of a sudden.
Xiaofeng's hometown is also a less developed town, and the environment is no less than here, but the rural atmosphere is too strong, and people who are used to living in big cities feel a little down. However, the environment of H City will not give people such a humble feeling, so it can give people a sense of comfort of returning to nature.
The two of them chatted while enjoying the scenery. The car was not in a hurry and drove on the uneven road, as if dancing with clear footsteps and humming melodious songs.
"It's just past Golden Week, right? Why would your roommate suddenly have to come home again? Is there something going on at home? Wu Yun is not a person who can talk idlely, after chatting with Wei Xiaofeng for a long time just now, the two of them did not communicate for a while, just looking at the scenery outside the car window, so he reluctantly found a topic to break the silent atmosphere.
Wei Xiaofeng's eyes were still looking at the scenery outside the car window, and said leisurely: "Miao Miao, she is just homesick, and we just happened to come here to play, so we took a ride." Do you have to have something at home to go back? ”
Wu Yun smiled noncommittally and said, "Don't be funny, it's just such a simple reason?" Don't you know the psychology of your generation now? I think when I was in college, I didn't bother to go home if there was nothing special. Not to mention those of your generation, you have a lot of fun and basically no nostalgia for your family. ”
Wei Xiaofeng turned his head to look at him, and said unconvinced: "What do you mean by 'your generation'?" Wu Yun, do you mean you're very old? You're only twenty-five or sixteen years old, please don't pretend to be old here. Besides, didn't you study in the Northeast? It's so far away from home, and if it were me, I would be too troublesome to go home. Moreover, how can the children of our generation be homesick? There are fathers and mothers, relatives and friends at home, how can there be a reason not to want to? Besides, when a girl's family is away from home, she must miss home to some extent, and it is normal for her to want to go home from time to time! ”
Wu Yun looked at her with some surprise, and then couldn't help laughing, and said, "I really can't imagine that I just met Wei Xiaofeng, who was silent at that time, and now I can actually say such a generous statement endlessly. Did you take the wrong medicine? ”
"You're taking the wrong medicine! Look at the road! Wei Xiaofeng glanced at him and said, "Classmate Wu Yun, let me ask you a question, how long have you not been home?" ”
Wu Yun looked ahead, blinked a few times, and said, "I haven't been back since the Chinese New Year." Am I not busy at work? Besides, good men have ambitions in all directions, and men must focus on their careers and cannot be tied up by their families. ”
"No wonder you're still single." Wei Xiaofeng pouted and said, "Although women like men with successful careers, they prefer men from the Gu family. Because we women all hope that men can give us a sense of security, if a man ignores his family for his career, it will make the women around him lack this sense of security, and of course no woman will want to be with this kind of man. ”
Wu Yun unconsciously looked at her again, and said tentatively: "You mean that if I take care of the family, you are willing to be my girlfriend, right?" ”
Wei Xiaofeng's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly covered it up: "Who, who said this?" I'm just making an analogy, don't make random associations. Look at the road! ”
Wu Yun obediently turned his head back and said, "This is the beginning of my career, so I will be more or less busy. Once the articles I write in the magazine are recognized by the majority of readers, I will have a little more time to go home and read them often. In fact, you also know that in our line of work, it is normal to run around from time to time. ”
Wei Xiaofeng just nodded and didn't speak.
Wu Yun continued to ask, "You haven't told me yet, what is your roommate coming home for?" ”
Wei Xiaofeng didn't look over, and said irrationally: "Other people's housework, why are you in charge of so much?" ”
"I'm curious, right? I'm nosy, right? Wu Yun said while grimacing.
Wei Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly and said, "I really convinced you, I am better than women." Miao Miao went home this time to attend a relative's funeral. It's all about other people's housework, why do you care so much? Are you going to run over and burn a stick of incense and cry? ”
"Who in their family has died?" Wu Yun had the meaning of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.
Wang Miaomiao didn't say. Wei Xiaofeng lied, "It should be some elder in the family, right?" Why do you ask so much? It has nothing to do with you. ”
"Okay, okay, count me busy, I'll shut up." Wu Yun compromised, so he kept silent.
Wei Xiaofeng didn't want Wu Yun to know the fact that Wang Miaomiao's cousin and his girlfriend were both drowned in Lianhu, and she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of this outing. She secretly hoped in her heart that it was just a coincidence, and although her heart had been hanging over an ominous cloud, she kept telling herself that she was just thinking too much.
In a long silence, the car drove out of the main urban area of H City and drove onto the road into the mountain.
The mountains here are undulating, with steep slopes and deep valleys, and it would have been very difficult to get into this area without this road. That's why the beautiful lake was not known and respected by the majority of travelers until a year ago.
Although a road has been opened that is not too narrow, it is also a great test of the driver's skills. The continuous sharp bends, the constantly undulating road surface, and the tunnels one after another made Wu Yun have to focus on driving, and he had no time to find a topic to chat with Wei Xiaofeng.
Fortunately, today's weather is very good, and there are few vehicles on the road, and the white domestic SUV that Wu Yun borrowed from the publishing house still drove into the lake area relatively steadily.
When they saw the words "Lianhu Scenic Area" on the road sign, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng were a little excited in their hearts. After all, after driving for nearly four hours, it is inevitable that you will be a little anxious and tired.
Wei Xiaofeng kept moving his gaze, expecting to see the beautiful scenery of the revered Lake, but for the time being, he only caught his eye on the mountains with green and yellow as the main color, and could not capture the color of water.
There was a big bend ahead, and Wu Yun deliberately slowed down. As the peaks turned, a piece of turquoise water appeared in front of their eyes, sparkling, shining against the clear autumn sky and bright sunshine, like a cat's eye gem set in the mountains, shining with a unique light that caught the heart. It is late autumn, everything is withered, and the green and yellow mountains set off the emerald lake looks unusually verdant, and I am afraid that no clever painter can rub this beautiful scenery onto the paper.
Wei Xiaofeng and Wu Yun couldn't help but let out a burst of amazement, and they couldn't take their eyes off this beautiful scenery at all. Wu Yun even forgot that he was driving, his hands holding the steering wheel forgot to control, and his half-pressed foot couldn't help but let go.
"Doot toot!" A rapid horn sounded from behind them, Wu Yun suddenly regained his attention, and quickly controlled the car that was about to crash into the roadside guardrail and drove back on track, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.
At this moment, a black Japanese car drove from the rear to the side of their car to meet them, the passenger seat window was slowly lowered, and a kind-faced old woman about fifty years old shouted at them with concern, "Are you all right?" Be careful when driving, don't desert! ”
Wu Yun hurriedly turned his head and said gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention!" ”
"That's good, let's go first!" The old woman smiled at them, then waved her hand and slowly closed the window.
At the moment when the car window was about to close, Wu Yun caught a glimpse of a man who looked a little older than her sitting in the driver's seat on the left side of the old woman.
After the window closed, the Japanese car honked softly, and then accelerated to the front of Wu Yun's car. Wu Yun followed behind the car unhurriedly. The license plate hanging on the back of the car showed that it was a local car in City H and that the elderly couple were locals.
Wei Xiaofeng patted his chest and said, "It was really too dangerous just now, and I almost hit the fence." You're too careless, aren't you? If something happens by accident, it doesn't matter if you're finished, my life will be taken by you. ”
Wu Yun hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, who made the scenery of the lake really so charming?" I was blinded, so I forgot to orient myself. ”
"Forget it." Wei Xiaofeng said understandingly, "The scenery of this lake is indeed too beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful lake." The other famous lakes you see on TV are probably not as good as the scenery of this lake, and they are simply heavenly scenery! ”
"Isn't it?" Wu Yun echoed, "Is it any wonder that when this lake was developed, people who came to play flocked to it? The scenery here is rare to find in the world! ”
Wei Xiaofeng looked down at the lake intently, and said, "Wu Yun, I still have to thank you, if you didn't bring me here, I'm afraid I would have regretted it for the rest of my life." ”
"That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?" Wu Yun said with a smile.
Wei Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "No, it's not an exaggeration at all. Some people may not be able to see such a scenery in their lifetime, which is a lifelong regret. ”
Wu Yun didn't dare to love the scenery outside the car too much now, he divided half of his attention to driving, and said: "Actually, I also feel very lucky, if the scenery of this lake is written and published in a magazine, I believe that more people will come here." ”
Wei Xiaofeng felt that he was a little embarrassed, and complained: "You can't forget your work in your head, it's really boring." ”
Wu Yun hurriedly remedied: "Of course, it is the luckiest to be able to see this with you, which can be said to be the most beautiful mountain lake in China!" ”
Wei Xiaofeng's heart was sweet when she heard this, her face was hot for a while, and a red glow flew onto her cheeks again. She was silent, quietly looking at the lake like the eyes of a fairy, and a hint of happiness welled up in her heart.
Wu Yun focused on the road ahead, and didn't notice the change in Xiao Feng's face, otherwise he would probably drive the car to the barrier on the side of the road again, right?
