Chapter 9: Far Thunder

Individuals will probably encounter all kinds of difficulties in their lives. The fate and choice of the big and small Huang Association are related, and in modern times, when life gradually stabilizes, people's life trajectories have many similarities, during this period, people have gone through the juvenile period. The first hurdle that can be encountered is probably none other than the college entrance examination. Soon after returning from Xincheng, there was a winter vacation, Lan Yi's school was tutoring as usual, and the pace of learning was tense and messy, and Wasabi came back from Jianghai, and she was already a college student, and she also had the temperament that a college student should have. Despite the intense study, Lan Cui was able to find time to walk around with her, in fact, Pujiang was so big, and the two had already visited her in the previous two years. However, as the Chinese New Year approaches, there is naturally an unusual liveliness, where it is interesting, the two of them will drill around.

is already a couple who have confirmed their relationship, although they have not yet crossed the last step, but things such as hugging and kissing, they will naturally find opportunities to do it, for Lan Zi, although there will be some distress in learning, but every day is actually relaxed and happy. There is no need to think too much, compared to the loneliness and worries in his previous life, this time is just Gao Ji, this future worry, for many candidates of the same age, may be a heavy burden, but for him, it is simply insignificant.

Wasabi would tell him about his life in college. A few friends I have made now, etc., talk about the campus, the scenery nearby, the night market that is usually very popular with college students, etc., etc. When the mustard went to Jianghai again after the New Year, Lan Zi felt that he was already familiar with the neighborhood, and it was estimated that it would be easy to find a place by himself.

During this period, I met with Guo Ying, who also returned home, a few times, but it can not be seen from the emails that we communicate on weekdays, at this time she has obviously changed more than a year ago, beautiful, confident, independent, compared to mustard, it can give people a more calm feeling, she is still very intimate with her sister's boyfriend, if it is just independent, such Guo Ying may not be very worth recalling, even if it is her peers. Extraordinarily independent, confident, and beautiful girls naturally exist, but combined with her usual email to Lan Zi, that feeling of contradiction and intertwining seems to have great power in vain. One is the external Guo Ying, tall, wearing a beige trench coat and trousers, smiling faintly and confidently, and the other is the inner Guo Ying, who seems to be a little apprehensive, a little playful, and calls himself "Master" Lan Zi's heart seems to have some kind of voyeuristic feeling, secretly snickering.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the school's tutoring has begun again. The weather outside was a little cloudy. The bright classroom with the lights on, the neat desks, and the tutoring seem to have started with a note passed by the previous row of light rain, on which a line of small words was written: "How was the winter vacation?" ”

The teacher lectures on his own from the podium. Two students in the back were drawing cross-and-fork circles and walking backgammon on the English exercise book, and Lan Cui added a sentence on the small note: "Running around and playing, how about you?" Then he passed the note back.

After a while, the note came back again: "I'm busy with New Year's greetings, but I'm not so leisurely, running around, I just don't have to play." I'm glad I'm a single parent now. ”

The small note was already full, and Lan Zi took another piece of paper and wrote it over: "You received a lot of red envelopes, right?" ”

"Well, I'm rich, I'll invite you to dinner at noon, go and eat for eight yuan a piece."

Pujiang is not a big city, at this time, the general fast food outside the school is only two or three yuan a meal, and the eight yuan is a small hotel, which is quite a luxury enjoyment. Lan Zi smiled and wrote: "Don't go." Business as usual. After a while, another message came from there: "I don't know how to lift, beware of dragging you out and beheading you." "Although I invited Lan Cui to eat at home. But this kind of hospitality at school, Lan Zi has never accepted.

The note was passed around like this, and this habit actually started last year, and now, it has probably become a habit between the two. When I was in class, I joked about the trivial things of the past few days, in the spring of March, the rain gradually increased, and the branches outside began to have green shoots, and one day after the sting, the teacher called Fang Xiaoyu out once, and when he came back, Fang Xiaoyu sneakily handed over a note.

"Guess what the teacher told me?"

"What?"

"We always passed notes in class, asking if we were in a relationship."

"Uh, why didn't Naran tell me out,"

"I'm a good student, you're a bad student."

"I've been hit"

After this incident, the note continued to circulate. The atmosphere between the two seemed to have become a little strange. Of course, after a while, the bait will disappear. The atmosphere in the third year of high school is tense and boring. Every day is to do exercises, memorize test papers, when there is their own struggle, there are also two or three classmates who answer each other to test the learning situation, Lan Zi and Fang Xiaoyu who is sitting in front of the side often draw each other's back, occasionally add in other students nearby, occasionally relax after class, just take the unfinished English exercise book to draw circles and fork and walk backgammon, Lan Zi is not a genius in learning, but his personality is calm, Fang Yu is a little aggressive, and the victory or defeat is often five or five.

Time passed in the spring of 2001 under such circumstances,

But in the change of time, it finally pushed slowly and calmly like a giant ship that no one could escape.

"You still plan to go to Jianghai, my mother is also over there, and I originally planned to take the university over there, but my family is now studying abroad for me, and I am going to the United States

When the weather began to get hotter, the problem of filling in the volunteer application began to be in front of me. Fang Xiaoyu, who was originally lively, became a little silent, and occasionally remembered three years of high school. Think of the city where you have always lived and grew up, of where you will go in the future, and of the future itself. Most of the students may have some strange emotions, whether it is nostalgia, excitement or expectation. But relatively speaking, going to Jianghai and going to the United States are two completely different concepts.

Approaching the end of June, the school had a rare day off for the third year of high school, and when the teacher came to announce the holiday, the whole class was cheering, and in the chaos, Fang Xiaoyu handed over a notebook: "Please do one thing." ”

"Hmm.

"Will you pay me to go somewhere tomorrow?"

"Huh? Where to? ”

"Changning, it's a little far, it's a two-hour train ride, it's not good for me to go alone, I'll come back in the afternoon."

Lan Zi thought for a while: "Okay." "It's fine tomorrow anyway.

I didn't feel anything about going out for a long time, I didn't know what Fang Xiaoyu was doing when she went to Changning, combined with her somewhat sluggish mood during this time, Lan Zi didn't want to ask more. The next morning, I prepared something to eat and drink, and rushed to the train station with Fang Yu to get on the train. Looking at the scenery outside and chattering Lan Zi was obviously in a good mood, and Lan Feng asked about the purpose of going out this time.

"Find someone." Fang Xiaoyu threw the apple core out of the car window, then took out an old piece of paper with the address from his coat pocket, and smiled playfully, "Man." ”

"You used to live in Changning?" Lan Zi thought to herself that most of them were her former boyfriends, or the handsome little boys in her childhood memories, who were going to the United States, so she would go over to take a look, but Fang Xiaoyu just shook her head: "No, but my mother has been here." ”

"Oh."

She obviously didn't want to say more, Lan Hui didn't want to ask any more, when approaching Changning, the weather gradually became overcast, and it seemed that they were about to face a thunderstorm, they got off the train, bought a map of Changning, and looked for the location of the address on the paper. I made sure that the distance was not too far, and I just hit the past. Changning is a big city, and the car passes through the side of the new city and passes through the old town. Gradually, the scenery on the side of the road began to change to the appearance of one villa after another in the woods, some new and some old, and most of the people who lived here were rich people. When the car stopped, they were greeted by a vast mansion.

The wall encloses the grass and the woods, and it is not just a simple place like one or two villas, the main building complex is like a majestic old-fashioned house, and from the scenery of the woods, there are all kinds of new buildings around, villas, gardens, attics, etc., which are connected in the wall, and only from the huge iron gate and the flower beds outside the door, it is possible to say that it is a huge research institute or a group company, but the architectural style inside is still clearly stated. It's just a place to live, and it's hard to imagine who lives in it.

Fang Xiaoyu also seemed to be startled by the scene in front of him, and stood on the side of the street outside the door with Lan Zi and looked up for a while, opened his mouth slightly, and then looked at the address on the note. Lan Yi said: "Do you want to go over and ask?" Wow, what kind of house is this?"

"No need," Fang Xiaoyu shook his head. "I'll just come over and see what the hell this place looks like, and now I'll understand,"

"What

Lan Zi was a little incomprehensible, but Fang Xiaoyu really refused to go to the door and ask anything, they walked to the small hillside on the side of the road and sat for a while, and the person who was probably the security guard at the door below was watching them from a distance and slowly. Ordinary people may be a little nervous, Lan Zi is not stressed about this kind of gaze, just looking at the scenery in the wall from here, although he can't see the whole picture because of the shade of the trees, he can also know that there are indeed amazing people living inside.

"This is my father's house, it is said to be a big family, I used to wonder how big it will be, but now I don't know." After a long time, Fang Xiaoyu finally spoke, and Lan Zi understood why she wanted to come here on the eve of the college entrance examination.

knew that Fang Xiaoyu was a single-parent family before. Although the girl is cheerful and lively, she does not hide this aspect of things, but for her father's affairs, it is naturally impossible to take the initiative to mention it, and when she talks and jokes on weekdays, Lan Ti will naturally try to avoid it, and at this time, sitting on the top of this small hill, Yu gradually talked about the things in her memory, about her father's situation.

"Mom gave birth to me at the age of eighteen" said that it was just the reform and opening up at that time, my mother went to the coastal places to see the world, only seventeen years old, and I met my father stupidly, less than half a year before and after, my father said that he wanted to marry her, and also brought her here a few times, every time my mother said, old, er, wow, there are many people in the Fang family. The fork has money, and the fork has power. There are a lot of them, and there are eight characters" I haven't seen many little girls in the world at that time. I'm afraid I'm going to be nervous to come to a place like this, it's like going back to the old society. I've always wanted to come and see."

"Then I was forced to separate, I don't know why, but I heard that this family is in the family. The one in charge is my grandmother who has not yet met, very majestic, and she says no, she can't. I also heard my grandmother say that because the woman my father really married was also powerful in the family, and "because it was found out at that time, my mother was pregnant with a woman, and that woman was pregnant." Boy "I met my dad a few times, and he said that there was no way at the time, and I felt ironic when I thought about it, he decided to marry his mother, and he was pregnant with another woman "But come and see and understand, people who live in this kind of place, hum"

"Baoshu, do you think my mother is doing a very successful business? In fact, compared to this Fang family. It's nothing at all." Do you know? In fact, before coming over today, I always remembered that my mother said that the Fang family is very powerful and has no concept or something, I have always had an idea that I must be very successful and successful in the future, and I can protect my mother, and then stand in front of my father and the grandmother who has never met and say to them: You are nothing. However, "

But after coming and looking at it, I was thinking, "Maybe it won't work." Fang Xiaoyu smiled a little embarrassedly, and then his gaze became firm again, "But no matter what, I must also become very powerful, at least I must definitely protect my mother, definitely"

She clenched her fists with both hands, and then heard Lan Zi next to her nod "um", twisted her left and right hands into fists, and pressed her fingers with a few "clicks", and then he stood up from the side: "Then let's do it!" ”

"You, you, you", what are you doing? Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up and grabbed the one who was about to go down

Pure. dry

"Beat them up, and then run to your grandmother and say, "You don't have anything!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm a martial arts master."

"Don't be kidding, those people below are at least armed police special forces or something" No problem, come on, come on. ”

"Ah, you're crazy!" Fang Xiaoyu laughed and grabbed his sleeve tightly, screaming, "Really, I'm amazing." ”

"Don't go."

Lan Zi struggled for a while, and then smiled: "That's what you said you weren't allowed to go, right?" "Uh-huh, I said that."

"Well, I wouldn't dare if you really let me go." Lan Zi spread his hands, "I'm kidding." ”

"Cut!" Fang Xiaoyu punched him in the shoulder angrily, the two stood on the hillside and looked down and smiled, Fang Xiaoyu said: "By the way, I have already told my mother about your trip to Jianghai, and I will give you an address when I go back, you go over there to find her, there is something that my mother can help solve." ”

"Hmm" Lan Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and asked what he felt was important. "Should I send a basket of apples or a watermelon for the first time? Otherwise, I actually prefer to eat grapes..."

"My mom loves apples" but don't give bananas, she hates bananas. ”

"Oh.

Lan Cui nodded, "Remember." ”

The sun poured down from the gaps in the clouds in the sky, the dark clouds piled up in the distance were getting thicker and thicker, and there was even a faint sound of thunder, the weather was a little stuffy, probably it was about to rain here, the two stood on the small hillside for a while, and then walked down, ready to go back to Pujiang.

It's the weather at the end of June, not long after. The college entrance examination is coming.

The fifth episode is over, and this one is a bit short. Originally, there were some other storylines, but because of the interruption some time ago, the feeling faded. So I decided to just take it away. It was said at the beginning that the high school stage of "Alienation" only goes through the transition. The main plot is at the university. Mainly because "Hidden Killing" is only written in high school, and of course there are elements that are deliberately avoided.

High school is something that is hard to avoid for bananas, because that's all I've read. I am a forgetful person, and my specific memories have long been indifferent, and even the names of my classmates have been forgotten a lot, and the only thing I can remember is a certain feeling. It belongs to high school, the feeling of the college entrance examination. A little bit is written in this chapter, of course, it is not obvious and nothing, because it is really written a little randomly. But to be honest, mixed with Fang Xiaoyu's description, when writing this chapter, I really had a headache and stomach pain, and when I really recalled that period of the past, when it was written in words, it was indeed a bit mixed

The above paragraph is just an essay on my own feelings, and there are not many that can resonate with me, and if you really want to look for something carefully, you don't have to. Well, it's all nonsense, and the only useful thing is one sentence: Well, let's enter the college chapter in the next episode, and it's time for "Alienation" to start writing the main drama. (To be continued)
