He looked up and saw that the mountain road was almost finished, and it would not be long before he was outside the mountain.

"Do you say it's better in the mountains, or is it better outside the mountains?" After a while, she asked him.

"Outside the mountains, it's too bitter in the mountains." He said.

"You don't have to go back to the mountains when you get into college." Her mouth almost hit his ear.

"Hmm." He looked at the road ahead, "It's almost there, it's outside the mountain." He said.

When the sun was only as high as a tree, he carried her on his back and finally walked to the road. Both legs were peeled and cramped, and the pain was general.

Not long after, a truck drove quickly towards this side, and Qian Aishu hurriedly ran to the middle of the road and stopped the truck.

"Big brother driver, are you going into the city?"

These drivers run on this road all year round, and they can be regarded as villagers whether they help or not. What's more, if something goes wrong one day, they have to rely on these mountain people to help, so they are all happy to do this kind of favor.

"You two?" The driver opened the cab door, "Come on." ”

"She's just a girl." Qian Aishu pulled Li Hongdou in front of him, "I won't go, please take care of my eldest brother." ”

"Okay, okay." The driver said yes, "Come on." ”

Li Hongdou shook her head at Qian Aishu.

"Hey, are you going?" The truck did not stall, and the driver waited impatiently.

"I don't ride in this car." Li Hongdou whispered to Qian Aishu. Qian Aishu has never been able to resist her, there is no way, he had to say to the driver, I'm sorry for the eldest brother, I left something at home, I have to go back to get it. I don't dare to delay my eldest brother any longer.

The driver didn't have anything to say, so he drove the car and walked away.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"The driver's eyes are narrow." Li Hongdou said in a low voice. He knew it was her excuse.

"Then we'll wait for the next one."

The next car was stopped by Qian Aishu, and the driver was a woman, so Li Hongdou had no excuse.

Li Hongdou sat in the cab and waved goodbye to Qian Aishu. The glow of the setting sun fell through the window on the other side of the cab and fell on her face. Her bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead one by one. Some are crooked, some are straight to the bottom, and even the ends of the hair are straight. The golden light on the tips of the hair was like a small drop of dew hanging on the tips of the grass leaves when the sun first came out in the morning.

"I'll be the first to tell you if there's news!" Diesel engines rumble. Li Hongdou stuck her head out of the window and shouted to Qian Aishu. The car drove far away, and she poked her head out again, "I'm coming to me if I have no news, remember!" Or I'll hate you for the rest of my life. ”

"Got it!" Qian Aishu agreed. Then he turned around and walked back to the mountain. It was getting dark. He thought about hurrying away, but his feet couldn't get up. Li Hongdou's body was missing on his back, but the burden was heavy, which made his head and feet incommensurate. He kicked a rock, ran a few steps, and rested. Stop-and-go, the more I don't want to move. There is a flat green meadow on the side of the road, as if someone has carefully tidied it up.

He sat down, feeling that his whole body was still not smooth, so he simply lay on his back and fell to the ground. It's already dark. A dark canopy with a few small stars. It was as if a black pot had accidentally knocked a few small holes, leaking a few rays of light.

The sky is more stuffy at night than during the day. The wind that blew over him wrapped around him like a spider's web—stronger than a spider's web, and he couldn't pull it, and he couldn't tear it open. Just as he was in despair, he heard someone hurrying towards him. Running and shouting -

"Money loves books, money loves books, wait for me."

When I was a child, Qian Aishu heard Aunt Qian say that when you walk alone on the mountain road at night, if you hear someone calling your name behind your back and telling you to wait, don't agree. That's a mountain ghost. Qian Aishu's heart tightened, thinking that this time the game was over. I was already so frightened that my mouth was welded. The black shadow gradually got closer, and the sentence of "Qian loves books...... can be heard clearly. He finally understood that it was Li Hongdou. He sat up and shouted to her, "Why are you back again?" Li Hongdou saw Qian Aishu, walked over slowly, and sat next to him,

"You send me out, I should send you back again."

"You're a bastard?!" Qian Aishu is on fire, "And then I'll send you out?" ”

Li Hongdou didn't speak, he sat there with his hands on his knees and his back hunched. Qian Aishu stopped talking, looking at the dark night and was stunned. The trees on the side of the mountain had a faint shadow in the darkness. "Puff puff puff...... a small black figure sprang out from the top of the tree, flapping its wings - "Fall quickly!" Pour it out! ......" turned out to be a fast-falling bird. The fast-falling bird is the owl, and the people of Qianjiaao believe that when they hear the owl crying "fast-falling", something bad will happen. Qian Aishu's mood became even more irritable.

For a long time, Qian Aishu heard the sound of snorting. He turned his head sideways and saw Li Hongdou's hunched body twitching one by one. He knew, she was crying. He felt guilty for a while, moved his buttocks, and sat down on the shoulders of Li Hongdou, leg to leg. Li Hongdou didn't make any movements, except for the constant low sobbing, the shoulders twitched faster and faster, and sometimes, there was a muffled sound in his throat. Qian Aishu felt uncomfortable when she saw it, and hugged Li Hongdou's shoulders so that she could lean on him. Li Hongdou did not answer, nor did he resist.

"Don't cry." He said.

"I haven't seen you in half a year."

Qian Aishu felt more and more uncomfortable. He knew he shouldn't have said a word to keep her before. "Don't cry." He said, "You know all about me." ”

"No, I don't know." Li Hongdou's nose was stuffed, and he said angrily, "I'm so scared, so scared!" I don't know anything about you. ”

"How so? We've known each other for six years. Qian Aishu hugged Li Hongdou tightly, her body trembling.

"A self-proclaimed ...... We, it's been six years, but we don't remember ......" Li Hongdou couldn't cry.

"I remember, I remember, it's your birthday." Qian Aishu gently caressed Li Hongdou's smooth two small braids.

"How do you remember? Rido ...... Ignore me, woo woo woo ......" Li Hongdou cried and hiccuped, and the whole person fell on Qian Aishu's shoulder.

Qian loves books and his heart is like a knife. He couldn't control himself. "You see it all...... I, I can...... What do you dare to do? Li Hongdou lay on his shoulder and cried, crying constantly, and the tears almost drowned his heart.

After a while, Li Hongdou cried less and less, she looked up at him, in fact, it was so dark, she couldn't see his face clearly. "Kiss me." Li Hongdou asked him. He leaned over and kissed her briefly. It wasn't the first time he had kissed her. He felt her lips tremble involuntarily.
