~12 min read 2,263 words

July 21st, 7:45 AM.

Jingcheng Railway Station.

As the station staff started shouting with a small loudspeaker to line up for ticket checking and boarding, Chen Zijin, whose emotions had been relatively stable, suddenly had a small breakdown. Regardless of the eyes of the people around, she grabbed Li Heng's hand and said very reluctantly:

"Pay attention to safety on the road, remember to miss me."

"Okay."

Li Heng was equally reluctant, took the initiative to hug her: "When I get there, I will call you."

"Hmm." It was hard to get together, but they had to separate again. At this moment, Chen Zijin's eyes were a bit moist.

After the two finished saying goodbye, Chen Xiaomi on the side handed him some introduction letters opened by the unit:

"I know you should have preparations, but these might be useful in Gansu. You take them as a backup."

The English teacher was indeed prepared, but under Chen Zijin's gaze, Li Heng still took it, and after saying thank you, went to the ticket checking entrance with the English teacher and Zhang Zhiyong.

After passing the ticket checking entrance, Li Heng looked back at Chen Zijin in the crowd for a while, waved his hand hard a moment later, and only after Chen Zijin waved back, did he turn and get on the train.

He thought the people at Shaoshi Railway Station were already many, but compared with the people at Jingcheng Railway Station, ho! Good guy, that counts as a chicken, nothing counts, isn't it just a small witch seeing a big witch?

After finding his hard sleeper with great effort, Zhang Zhiyong sat down and asked with his head covered: "Big Brother Heng, how long does it take from Jingcheng to Gansu?"

Li Heng replied: "The distance from Shaoshi to Jingcheng is not much different, it should take 20-something hours."

After listening, Zhang Zhiyong lay on the bunk weakly. He had a lively personality and couldn't sit still by nature. Thinking of staying in a small, closed space for so long, it was simply killing him.

The English teacher was different. Maybe because of her parents' divorce, she was used to being alone, so she was leisurely and contented, looking at the scenery along the way, until it was dark before resting for a while.

At midnight, Li Heng, who was sleeping, was woken up by the English teacher. She sat on the edge of Li Heng's bunk, shook him awake and whispered: "Wake up."

Li Heng wasn't sleeping soundly, was disturbed by external objects, and instantly woke up: "Teacher, what's the matter?"

The English teacher looked outside, her voice lowered again: "Just now, several people were wandering back and forth in this carriage, feeling a bit wrong."

Hearing this, Li Heng got out of bed without changing his face. After watching in the small aisle for a while, he really saw 3 people doing pickpocketing, two men and one woman. The woman was reaching into a big mother's bag to take things.

Seeing Li Heng suddenly appear in the middle of the night, the three looked over in unison. After a few seconds of stalemate, seeing Li Heng motionless, the woman retracted her hand and left the carriage with her accomplices.

The English teacher watched with her little heart thumping on the side, and even called 'Dimwit' awake, "You are like this, aren't you afraid they will trouble you?"

Li Heng shook his head: "Usually not, even if they do, I'm not afraid."

Zhang Zhiyong touched his head and helped: "That is! We fought all the way from the first year of junior high, afraid of a bird!"

Woken up, Zhang Zhiyong volunteered to guard the night, touched a bag and sat outside on a small stool, his eyes bulingbuling looking around.

Wang Runwen couldn't sleep either; she brushed her hair back with her right hand and asked him, "I didn't understand before why you said if you didn't get into Peking University, you'd go to Sun Yat-sen University. Now I understand a bit—are you afraid of being tied down by Chen Zijin? Or is there another girl you like besides Song Yu?"

Damn, it's really god!

Guessed it in one hit!

But Li Heng certainly couldn't admit it, just vaguely said: "Actually, for me, it's the same wherever I go to university, it doesn't affect my writing.

The reason why I don't want you to help me is that I don't want you, Teacher, to owe your best friend a favor because of me."

The English teacher said disdainfully: "What a big deal, not going to Peking University, I think you are just cowardly.

Besides, I am alone, owing a favor is better, and I can be closer to Shuheng."

Hearing her mention Yu Shuheng several times, Li Heng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where is your best friend now?"

The English teacher asked back ruthlessly: "Why do you ask this?"

Li Heng was speechless: "I'm just curious."

The English teacher hugged her chest, "Less curious! Less asking! She is 8 years older than you."

Li Heng was dizzy, and retorted: "Look at what you said, what is what, with Song Yu and Zijin, what else do I want from other women?"

Silently added a sentence in his heart: Hmm, Comrade Xiao Han, wronged you first.

Seeing him mention two girls' names without blushing or heartbeat, the English teacher looked disdainful: "Hehe, if I were Song Yu, I wouldn't give you a chance at all."

Li Heng stretched and said: "I don't know who came to Jingcheng with me, Jingcheng is fine, and even ran to Gansu."

The English teacher was angry, and after a long while, she narrowed her eyes and threw a sentence: "Don't put gold on your face, Teacher is afraid that I won't have a chance to go far in the future, so I came out to walk more while I am young."

The two talked all the way, occasionally fighting, time passed quite quickly, and when the hour hand turned to noon the next day, the provincial capital Lancheng finally arrived.

Zhang Zhiyong kept jumping in the crowd, "Big Brother Heng, you said someone would come to pick you up, you haven't met, do you recognize that person?"

The English teacher also had this doubt, but didn't ask.

Li Heng said: "It's okay, the other party said they would wait for me at the exit, the woman wears red clothes, the man wears gray Chinese clothes, both wear glasses."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyong jumped even more frequently, complaining while jumping:

"Damn! What do northerners eat to grow up, how come one by one is taller than me, the man is fine, I see many women who are also taller than me."

Speaking of which, Dimwit's height is not short in the south, but it's really not enough to look at in the north.

Li Heng 178 is considered a big tall man in the south, but come to the north, ho! Average, average, there are many shorter than him, and many taller than him.

"Eh, Li Heng, is it those two?"

Just when Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong were talking, the sharp-eyed Wang Runwen saw a red-clothed girl holding a sign high.

The sign said: Li Heng! Li Heng!

The name was very large, written with thick black brush characters.

The red-clothed woman was relatively tall, reaching 170, and her appearance was medium to upper, but she had a kind of unbridled wild aura all over her body. She also surnamed Li, called Li Ran.

Li Heng had suspected more than once that Aunt Zhao Jing found a man surnamed Li as her husband, was it because she couldn't forget Comrade Li Jianguo?

In his previous life, he was very familiar with Li Ran.

How familiar was it? Once after a dinner, she didn't hand over a bottle of water as usual, but changed the water to a condom.

Li Heng was confused at the time, raised his head and asked: "What's going on? Took the wrong one?"

Li Ran said without scruples: "No, broke up with the ex, can't find a bed partner for a while, and I have needs, how about you work hard for me?"

Li Heng's face twitched, "How many boyfriends have you changed?"

Li Ran said shamelessly: "Didn't count, seven or eight. Don't look at me with this kind of eyes, my desire for men is like news and current affairs, pursuing freshness, and changing when tired."

By the way, her essential work is a news reporter, and she also loves archaeology.

Li Heng was so scared that he fled, and then didn't meet for several years, until she sent an invitation saying she was getting married, and then went to the scene to attend the wedding.

That time, he took Xiao Han with him.

After seeing Xiao Han, Li Ran joked generously: "I understand a bit now, no wonder you don't care to touch me."

Anyway, this girl is not a good stubble, it is estimated that 10 men before and after are definitely there. Her husband later became a real medicine jar like her father, physically weak and sick.

"Li Heng?"

Looking at Li Heng who walked straight over, Li Ran shook the sign in her hand and asked with a pair of big eyes.

"It's me." Li Heng nodded, and then told the other party about the matter on the phone, which was considered a secret language, and then introduced the English teacher and Zhang Zhiyong.

After greeting the English teacher and Dimwit, Li Ran pulled the glasses man beside her, "My college senior, now my fiancé, Sun Aimin."

Sun Aimin greeted the three enthusiastically.

When Li Heng shook hands with the other party, he felt a bit sympathetic to the other party. He knew Sun Aimin, Li Ran married later, the other party didn't get married, it is said that he often led teams to drill into deep mountains and old forests to do archaeology later, and was not very keen on marriage.

Li Ran's home is in the suburbs, and it can even be considered the countryside. When Li Heng arrived, the sky was almost dark.

"You, you are Li Heng?" Zhao Jing picked them up at the intersection and asked Li Heng, who was very eye-catching in the crowd.

Li Heng said with a smile: "Eh, it's me, Aunt has good eyes."

Zhao Jing circled around him, "What kind of good eyes do I have, you look a bit like your mother when she was young, I can naturally recognize it."

Next was the process of introducing each other. When they returned to the room, Zhao Jing said:

"I have already prepared the food, you have traveled for so long, you should be hungry, come, sit at the table quickly."

There were 9 bowls on the dinner table, 6 Xiang dishes, three Gansu local dishes, with meat and vegetables, very hard.

Also ate rice.

When eating, Zhao Jing asked about Li Heng's well-being. When she learned that Tian Run'e had hidden Li Jianguo's illness from her, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed:

"Run'e is still the same, reporting good news but not bad news. If I had known Jianguo's health was not good, I would have to go back to see him no matter what."

Li Heng listened and secretly slandered, forget it, my mother is afraid that you will visit our father.

Later, she asked a lot about Li Jianguo being framed. Li Heng didn't answer truthfully, just picked what could be said.

After the meal, Li Heng and the three went to the inner room to visit Li Li, who was lying on the bed, which was Zhao Jing's husband.

Seeing a stranger coming to see him, Li Li, who was originally drowsy, slowly opened his eyes, stared at Li Heng for a long time and said: "You are Li Jianguo's son, right?"

Li Heng nodded and said yes.

Li Li stared at him again, and after a while, said weakly: "It's just the right time, his son can come to see me, I can be considered to have no regrets, no regrets..."

This sentence was inexplicable, Li Heng's brain was full of paste.

Until half an hour later, when he left the inner bedroom, Li Ran solved his confusion: "My mother has never forgotten your father. Many times she treats him as a spare tire, including that thing on the bed, so he always feels that he died in vain."

This "he" refers to Li Li.

When it came to this, Li Ran was afraid that Li Heng wouldn't be used to it, and added a sentence: "Don't take it to heart, I speak like this, straight, don't like to hide it.

He has been lying sick for several years anyway, for life and death, we have experienced reluctance, life and death, and now we have seen it lightly, it can't be called any sadness, don't feel weird."

It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, Li Heng can naturally understand the detachment and openness of this family.

Zhao Jing arranged a room for the three, didn't sleep in the Zhao family, but followed Li Ran to the building next door. People didn't explain why, and the three of them were too lazy to ask, just have a clean place to rest.
