Chapter 8: Broken Love and Leave
"These two are not brother and sister in the first place, but they pretend to be brother and sister, they really know how to pretend!"
But what is it for? Why do you so hard pretend to fool me? I'm not a three-year-old, can't I see it? What is the meaning of this? ”
"I really don't understand ......"
Zhao Ji thought.
He didn't sleep well at night, he woke up from time to time, and he was guilty of the same old problem.
He fell out of love in agony!
The next day, I woke up before dawn.
He saw that the geranium flower on the table had long since withered, and he was very sad. He decided to go out on his own.
So, I put that gray backpack on my back. Tell the innkeeper that she should not wait for him to return in the evening, and then walk up the hill along the river that flows from the town.
These mountains are a branch vein called Nuclear Mountain.
From a geological point of view, they are all strange, criss-crossed, and interesting structures, especially because they are known for the uniformity and purity of the karst formations.
However, Zhao Ji is not a geologist, and he will not come to investigate the geological structure of these rock formations.
He wanted to come out and relax.
He couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind. There is only a feeling of a firm position, although his head is clouded, but his heart is very clear.
"I won't meet Li Heng and them again!"
Zhao Ji definitely thought in his heart that he was in the dark and deceived by them. He was annoyed by their dishonest, deliberate deception.
That was the only reason he suddenly decided not to see them.
So, who forced them to pretend to be brother and sister?
Why didn't you give him a clear reason?
In this way, he can not be emotionally attached to Li Shi! He won't be tormented by this feeling!
That's it!
That's it......
Zhao Ji tried his best to avoid thinking about these questions.
He roamed the valleys of the mountains with great ease.
Spend an afternoon sitting in an earthy village shop, buy some miscellaneous food, beer and drinks, and chat with the owners and guests of the shop.
Or when the weather is fine, spread a mat on the lawn, lie on a flat and thick mat, and look through the small videos on your phone that are deliberately ridiculous or appropriately funny.
Or you don't need this rather painstaking folding mat, just lie on the warm slate and watch the five-colored clouds move in the sky.
In this way, Zhao Ji spent two days alone on the mountain.
The mountain washed away his bad mood, and it was not without effect, and his mood became cheerful in vain, although sometimes he thought about it and felt depressed and depressed.
Zhao Ji's thoughts at this time happened to be in perfect harmony with the quiet and serene mountains of this place.
In the impressions he received from the places he had walked, he was completely immersed in the calm flashes of the unexpected that he had encountered by chance, which calmly alternated and passed in his mind.
In the end, only one general impression remains...... The mood is extraordinarily happy.
In this general impression, everything he has seen, heard, and felt in the past two days is integrated.
The smell of resin in the woods, the call of woodpeckers, and the tuk of woodpeckers.
The crystal clear streams flowed into the distance with chattering and screaming...... And the speckled little salmon swimming on the sandy bottom of the creek.
The mountains are not very steep in silhouette and gloomy rocks.
The clean new countryside like a villa in the city, the red and white houses, and the awe-inspiring old yellow cypress trees.
Some unknown birds flying up and down in those meadows.
The cozy water mills, which were spinning their wheels rapidly, squeaked.
The simple and simple faces of those villagers. In fact, they are no different from the people in the city.
Those medicine farmers who go up the mountain to pick medicinal herbs with baskets on their backs, and some tea farmers who pick tea leaves. He waved to the hard-working tea farmers and medicine farmers.
Occasionally, he would meet handsome young hikers with long hair walking on mountain trails.
He also passed by the orchards of rural revitalization planted with apples and pears on both sides...... There was a burst of laughter and laughter among the fruit growers.
……
When he saw these scenes, he was still in a rather happy mood.
Zhao Ji only returned to the inn on the third night.
Because his troubles about Li Heng disappeared, he tried to rethink the image of Li Shi in his heart, but Zhao Ji's efforts were all in vain.
When Zhao Ji began to imagine Li Shi, he saw a little country girl standing in front of him-
A round childish little face, a tail with a bunch of hind wings, and a pair of innocent little eyes.
She looked at him so childishly, innocently, innocently...... Her shrunken gaze made him feel ashamed.
Zhao Ji thought that this might be what Li Shi looked like when he was a child.
During the two days when he went out for a walk alone, Zhao Ji received many messages from Li Heng.
Li Heng was surprised by his sudden decision to go out on a solo trip, complaining why he didn't take them out with him, and asked him to come to them as soon as he returned.
At that time, Zhao Ji read this information, with a feeling of dissatisfaction, and did not reply.
But when he went out for a walk in the past two days, he was in a much better mood than before, relieved, and decided to meet Li Heng and them again.
Li Heng greeted him in a friendly and informal manner, and rebuked Zhao Ji gently and kindly.
However, Li Shi seemed to be deliberate, and when she saw Zhao Ji, she laughed out loud for no reason.
And according to her temper, immediately ran out.
Li Heng felt embarrassed.
After her back when she ran out, Li Heng said in a low and vague voice that she was simply crazy, she was really ignorant like a child, and asked Zhao Ji to forgive her for this childish behavior.
To be honest, Zhao Ji felt very unhappy with Li Shi.
Zhao Ji was already unpleasant enough, but now he encountered Li Shi making such an unnatural and deliberately contrived laugh.
What does it mean to be so strange and deliberately contrived?
Zhao Ji has never been able to figure it out.
However, Zhao Ji pretended not to notice anything, and introduced the details of his short trip to Li Heng.
Li Heng also told Zhao Ji what he had done in the past few days.
However, they did not talk well with each other.
Zhao Ji always deliberately avoided Li Heng's gaze.
Li Shi came into the room and ran away again.
In the end, Zhao Ji said that it was time for him to go back.
At first, Li Heng enthusiastically kept Zhao Ji for a while, and then observed Zhao Ji attentively for a while. Seeing that Zhao Ji was indeed in a hurry to go back, he expressed his willingness to send Zhao Ji back.
In the process of descending the mountain, Li Shi suddenly ran in front of Zhao Ji.
took the initiative to stretch out a hand to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji gently shook her pink fingers, and nodded to her reluctantly.
After Li Shi shook hands with Zhao Ji, he walked up the mountain alone and walked back to the homestay.
Li Heng sent Zhao Ji to a park, then walked past a small statue that Zhao Ji loved, and sat down on a bench to enjoy the scenery.
It was here that an unusual conversation took place between the two men.
