Chapter 139: , Parting bitterness in the world, starting from a new starting point (Please subscribe!)
August 12, Li Heng and the four others went up to Lushan.
It is worthy of being a place loved by literati and ink guests. I thought there shouldn't be many people on the mountain in this era and this season.
Where do you know?
Looking up from a height, Huo! Good guy! There are crowds of people everywhere, and tourists rubbing shoulders appear in every scenic spot of Lushan.
Li Heng and his party followed the crowd and enjoyed Donglin Temple, Xiufeng, Jinxiu Valley, Tianqiao, Immortal Cave, Small Tianchi, Bailudong Academy, Huanglong Pool, Wulao Peak...
Looking at them one by one, there are poems left by the ancients in front of their eyes, smooth and clean roads under their feet, and peddling sounds one after another in their ears, light and convenient, smooth and smooth.
Passing by the Three-Fold Spring, Li Heng suddenly stopped.
Finding something wrong, Zhang Zhiyong, who walked 20 meters ahead, wanted to look back and shout at him, but was stopped by the English teacher and Li Ran at the same time.
The English teacher said, "Zhang Zhiyong, don't make a sound to disturb him."
Li Ran picked up the camera and took a close-up of him, envying, "Li Heng should have writing inspiration again."
"I fuck! Really? Then I'll wait for Heng Heng Da Ye here." Hearing this, the thick-lined Zhang Zhiyong immediately became honest, squatting on a stone under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool.
I don't know when, the amazing scene and sound appeared in front of him. From the top of the mountain, which was as high as the clouds, a huge silver curtain rushed down. The momentum was majestic, just like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers hanging upside down. However, suddenly, it hit the giant rock on the mountainside, roaring deafeningly, splashing water into fog. It roared, and rushed down even more violently, but unexpectedly, it hit the second stone barrier halfway. It could no longer suppress it, roared and jumped for a while, and rushed down again with its life, at which time it had become a vast team of desperate people, determined to make a final charge with the cliff.
The flying water like heavy rain sprayed on Li Heng, but he didn't run away. Instead, he raised his head and looked up, without sighing, without making a sound, standing silently, showing his wet life.
At this moment, his whole body and mind were in a kind of shock from the depths of his soul.
At this moment, he thought of the Song Dynasty philosopher Zhu Xi, who wanted to see the style of the Three-Fold Spring but couldn't, and once wrote in a letter: Hearing about the new spring three-fold under Wulao Peak, it is quite strange and victorious, counting that this life has no reason to reach its bottom.
Honestly, Li Heng had run through half of China this summer vacation and had been to many places, but this Three-Fold Spring had the greatest impact on him, quietly integrating his own cultural perception with the strangeness of mountains and rivers, forming a quiet return, a deep tacit understanding, and a sublimation of the soul.
After going down the mountain, he lost the interest of strolling in the small town and devoted himself to writing in the hotel room.
The English teacher still accompanied him as always. When he finished writing and polished it carefully again, she broke the precedent and picked up his dirty clothes and entered the washroom.
Climbing the mountain for a day, there was a smell of sweat on the clothes. Wang Runwen smelled it with disgust, but still soaked them and rubbed them with soap.
The English teacher looked at him through the door from time to time while washing clothes, and her mind kept savoring the beautiful words he had just written.
For a moment, she envied Song Yu, who got Li Heng's deepest love without doing anything.
As for Chen Zi Jin, the English teacher sighed with regret. She clearly occupied the convenience of time, place, and people, but lost to Song Yu by half.
This is not shooting without a target.
She had seen Chen Zi Jin, seen Song Yu, and followed Li Heng for nearly 2 months without leaving his side. This is the summary after comparison, and it is also her most intuitive feeling as a woman.
There is also a Xiao Han.
Unfortunately, the English teacher hadn't taught her English, and they hadn't spent much time together, so she couldn't be considered to understand her.
But judging from the half-day contact in the previous town, and from Li Heng following the will of heaven to give up Peking University and choose Fudan University, Xiao Han is undoubtedly not a kind person. Without a sound, she hooked half of Li Heng's heart away.
Even in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep, she would occasionally guess the emotional fate of Song Yu, Xiao Han, and Chen Zi Jin?
A voice in the bottom of her heart told her: In the future, Li Heng will either marry Song Yu or marry Xiao Han, because of the Chen family, Chen Zi Jin has the smallest chance.
The English teacher didn't know why she had such an absurd thought?
It was just an instinct that Song Yu and Xiao Han were too beautiful, which was a greater temptation to Li Heng and could satisfy Li Heng's deeper physical desires and spiritual thirst.
Speaking of deep physical desires, she thought of Li Heng stealing glances at her several times intentionally or unintentionally, her plump figure seemed to be...
Thinking of this, Wang Runwen, whose body was instantly hot, frowned and forcibly interrupted the fantasy.
That direction was too terrible, she couldn't have any thoughts, even a little bit!
A restlessness lingered in her heart for no reason, so much so that she used a bit more force when washing clothes without knowing it.
Hearing the sound of rubbing suddenly increase, Li Heng, who had finished checking the manuscript, stretched and asked:
"Teacher, why are you helping me wash clothes? Put it there, I'll do it myself."
The sudden question startled the English teacher, whose mind was complicated. She looked up and asked with concern, "Did it disturb your train of thought?"
"No, no, I've already modified it once, just in time to take a break."
Saying that, Li Heng walked into the washroom and pulled her away somewhat embarrassedly, "Teacher, I'll do it myself. It's embarrassing to have you wash my clothes as a big man."
Seeing Li Heng, who used to be shameless, showing discomfort rarely, the English teacher smiled slightly, feeling quite interesting:
"You wash your underwear yourself. These clothes have already been through 4 times of clear water, and they can be dried after wringing."
When mentioning the word "underwear," the English teacher was slightly awkward. Fortunately, Li Heng went to the outer room to get underwear, so he didn't find anything strange.
Li Heng took the underwear back to the washroom, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly fell into silence, each busy, not knowing how to open their mouths?
In fact, the reason why the English teacher helped him wash clothes was that she thought they would take a car to the next stop tomorrow morning, and he was now obsessed with creation. If the clothes were not washed, they might not be dry, and if they were covered in the bag, they would produce a sour smell, then the clothes would be basically scrapped and could be thrown away.
Underwear is easy to wash, rub, wipe, rub, wipe again, sigh, it's done.
After hanging the clothes, the two stared at each other on the balcony. After a long while, Li Heng broke the silence, looking for something to say, "Teacher, which day does No. 1 Middle School hold the all-teacher meeting?"
The English teacher crossed her arms and looked at the dim sky in the distance, "Generally 2 days before school starts, probably around the 28th or 29th."
Li Heng calculated the days and felt it was okay, there was still a lot of time.
It was hard to talk a few words, but Wang Runwen was cool today, and seemed not to want to talk. The atmosphere was stiff again, and there was no sound.
After a long time, Li Heng asked, "Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Runwen said, "I'm thinking about who you will marry in the future?" 【139-53
"Ah?"
Li Heng exclaimed in surprise, "How old am I, and I still have four years of university to read, why think so far ahead?"
Wang Runwen tilted her head and glanced at him coldly: "You only have at most 4 years left to live, if I were you, I should start thinking about this problem now, and shift your feelings in the future, don't end up with many women but no marriage to be had."
Alright, look at what she said.
It immediately stated the dilemma he faced in his previous life.
However, although that was the case, Li Heng really couldn't bring himself to deliberately neglect anyone; they were all women who had stood the test of time, how could they be dismissed in a few words?
Seeing him silent, Wang Runwen sneered, turned around, left his room, and returned to her own room.
A night without words.
After Li Heng finished modifying the second draft, he lay on the bed and slowly entered a dream.
In the following days, the group of four visited Nanchang Qingyunpu, Guichi, and Suzhou one after another; they stayed in Suzhou for an extra day, fully appreciating the very distinctive Jiangnan small towns. Then they transferred to Tianzhu Mountain, the windy and rainy Tian Yi Pavilion, and West Lake.
The last stop was Shanghai.
But just after arriving in Shanghai, the days suddenly became tight.
Li Heng asked the English teacher: "Teacher, do you want to go to your best friend's place?"
Hearing that he was going to see Yu Shuheng, Zhang Zhiyong's eyes began to glow green, and he almost drooled all over the floor.
Although this idiot was afraid of seeing beautiful women, Yu Shuheng in the photo had left a very deep impression on him; that kind of temperament made him impulsively say "Beautiful! Beautiful to the point of bubbling, I even want to marry her as a wife," and he still remembered the English teacher mocking him back then.
Logically speaking, after not seeing each other for many years, meeting a best friend again is a happy and impatient thing, but Wang Runwen appeared particularly hesitant.
If she hadn't written those letters to Yu Shuheng in the past six months, and hadn't poured out her thoughts in the letters, she would have happily told the other party that she had arrived in Shanghai, and to hurry up and set up wine and food to wait for her, and then killed her way to her best friend's house unscrupulously.
But now...
She couldn't convince herself to see the other party.
Finally, Wang Runwen shook her head: "School starts in a few days, hurry up and buy tickets back to Xiangnan; you two also need to hurry back to tidy up."
"Damn! Beauty, just like that, gone." Having lived together for two months, although Zhang Zhiyong was still more or less unable to let go when facing the teacher, it was much better than before, and when he was excited, he dared to burst out a swear word.
The English teacher said with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Following your good brother, are you worried about not seeing beauties? Shanghai is a big world, there are many universities here, many beauties, you have enough to feast your eyes on."
This damn thing is clearly pointing at the mulberry and cursing the locust tree!
Li Heng was unhappy, "I don't like hearing this, it makes me sound like that."
Li Ran smiled and added: "It's okay, isn't it just liking beauties? What's the big deal, there's nothing shameful about it, I also like good-looking men, let's be fickle together, we'll have company on the road."
Li Heng muttered in his heart, go to hell! Don't drag me into this, I dare not compare with you, you are a person with over 10 kills.
This was the last stop of the summer vacation trip, Li Heng treated, called for a table full of dishes, and had a very luxurious meal.
After the meal, the four left a group photo in front of the Shiku Sect as a souvenir of this trip.
"Let's go, let's go back."
"Are we going to disperse already? I'm so reluctant to part with you."
"What's there to be reluctant about? If you miss us, you can come to Shanghai to see us; anyway, you are a big reporter and have to run around everywhere."
"Then Li Heng, can I sleep with you? I want to know what a big writer tastes like."
"Don't, please let me go, I'm not even 20 yet."
"Giggle, Teacher, I haven't asked your age, how old are you this year?"
"27."
"27, sigh, 2 years older than me, giggle, not easy to handle."
Zhang Zhiyong listened with a confused face, and asked Li Ran dizzyly: "What kind of riddles are you playing, what's not easy to handle?"
Li Ran pushed the dim-witted one away in disgust, "Go away, go away! The journey is over, your prop should retire, haha, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you are just a block of wood anyway."
"Who said I'm a block of wood? I dared to steal the neighbor's sister's underwear when I was 14." Having become very familiar, he and Li Ran always told some dirty jokes to amuse each other; now the dim-witted one didn't think it was shameful, but proud, desperately trying to prove he wasn't a fool with his budding love.
Hearing these unscrupulous words, Li Heng, the English teacher, and Li Ran all laughed heartily.
Zhang Zhiyong touched his head and followed with a chuckle.
After passing through the crowded station, they finally squeezed onto the train; this time their luck was bad, they didn't buy sleeper tickets, not even hard sleepers.
Later, Li Ran took out her big reporter ID, expressed her willingness to pay more, and secretly stuffed two big bills to the other party; the train attendant then looked at her with high regard and said: You sit first, and when there are empty seats halfway, I'll call you.
Facts proved that the attendant didn't perfunctory them; when the train arrived in Hangzhou, someone came over and said someone got off, and a hard sleeper was vacated.
Finally, they returned from the smelly ordinary carriage to the familiar hard sleeper; this time Li Heng didn't read or write, but put everything down and played poker with the three.
Playing 'Upgrade', 10 cents for every level, which can kill time and keep interest at all times.
Li Heng and the English teacher were on one side, Li Ran and Zhang Zhiyong were a team; during the journey of more than 20 hours, except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, they basically spent their time on this.
As a result, there was no big win or loss after playing; after a few rounds, Li Heng and the English teacher each won 60 cents.
Counting the small bills, Li Heng handed them to Wang Runwen: "Teacher, this is my heart, don't dislike it."
The English teacher smiled and put the money into her pocket, then looked outside the car and said: "We have already passed Xinhua Station, we will be there soon."
Li Ran lay on the window and said: "There is threshing everywhere in the fields outside, Li Heng, dim-witted one, do you need to go home to help?"
Li Heng pondered and said: "I haven't contacted home, I don't know if the rice has been threshed, but there isn't much time left, even if I help, I can only help for 1 or 2 days."
Zhang Zhiyong pouted: "Help my ass, that cheapskate never goes to the fields, how much rice does my family have to harvest."
Wang Runwen asked Li Heng: "How much rice can your family usually thresh?"
Li Heng said: "Our family has fields for 6 people, usually we can thresh about 45 dan of rice. But it's hard to say, it depends on the harvest every year; if the weather is bad and there is a lot of wind and rain, production will often decrease by 6 to 7 dan."
Li Ran asked: "Why does your family have fields for 6 people? Didn't your eldest sister get married?"
Li Heng said: "She did get married, but the fields are still in our 3rd group, and they won't be transferred to the 9th production team until the next time the village divides the fields."
Chatting about the harvest, chatting about agricultural tax, chatting about the tiredness of threshing, chatting about the joy of catching loaches in the fields, the train slowly drove into Shaoshi Railway Station amidst long whistles, reaching the destination.
Just out of the station, Li Heng subconsciously raised his left wrist to look at his electronic watch.
It was exactly 10 o'clock, not a minute more, not a minute less.
Li Ran asked the two: "Are you going to catch the 11 o'clock bus back? Or leave tomorrow?"
Li Heng nodded: "It's already the 28th today, we must hurry back, we still have to handle household registration and other transfer procedures, we can't drag it out."
Tacitly, the four found a noodle shop nearby and slurped a bowl of spicy rice noodles.
The dim-witted one drank the red soup in the bowl, patted his stomach, and shouted with satisfaction:
"Damn! The things in my hometown are still delicious, after passing Jiangxi, what kind of ghosts are those places, they add sugar to the dishes, and add so much, it's sweet to death, aren't they afraid of getting diabetes!"
Li Heng laughed: "Look at what you said, we eat so spicy, others are worried that people here will get stomach diseases and hemorrhoids."
"Bullshit! I can eat a bowl of sour peppers on an empty stomach and be fine, how could I get a stomach disease?" Zhang Zhiyong stiffened his neck and was very unconvinced.
Li Heng was too lazy to pay attention to him, gave him a kick, signaling him to get away.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Li Ran took the dim-witted one to buy water, leaving only Li Heng and the English teacher on the spot.
After looking at each other for a while, the English teacher suddenly reached out and hugged him, and said with a smile in his ear: "Our big writer, come on! I wish you go further and further, and strive to win the Mao Dun Literature Prize one day."
Li Heng didn't expect her to take the initiative to hug him, and said seriously: "Thank you, Teacher, I will definitely work hard!"
The English teacher continued: "Mm, if you get married one day, remember to notify the teacher, I will come to drink your wedding wine."
After speaking, she let go of him, picked up her luggage, and turned around decisively, without any hesitation.
Sometimes it's just that coincidental, a bus just happened to depart, and Wang Runwen squeezed on very smoothly.
Li Heng chased after her and shouted: "Teacher, your room key is with me."
Wang Runwen said: "I have a spare one, give it to me next time you come back."
Li Heng's throat moved, and he waved at her vigorously.
Wang Runwen adjusted her glasses with the tip of her right hand, looking at him with a smile.
God can testify, they have known each other for three years, and this time the teacher smiled the most sincerely, smiled the most beautifully, without any sarcasm, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
The bus finally left, Li Heng didn't dare to stay long, and hurried back to the original place; there was so much luggage, he couldn't be careless, if it was stolen, he would cry to death.
Not long after, Li Ran and Zhang Zhiyong returned.
Li Ran looked around and was surprised: "Your teacher left already? Left so fast?"
Li Heng said: "She was in a hurry, the bus just happened to depart."
"Oh, that's really..." Li Ran said with a flowery smile: "Then you go to the bus station to catch the bus, I'm going home too, I won't see you off, goodbye!"
"Okay, take care, goodbye!"
Watching another one leave, the dim-witted one suddenly had moist eyes and cursed: "Damn! All ungrateful wolves, walking so fast, I often expose my family's ugliness to make you happy! Master Heng, let's go, damn, let's go, let's go!"
Li Heng carried his luggage and walked towards the familiar No. 12 bus.
An hour later, the two caught the bus back to Qianzhen just in time.
When the car left the center of Shaoshi, the dim-witted one clapped his hands and jumped up angrily: "I should have gone to see Sister Chunhua, how could I have forgotten such an important thing."
Hearing the name Liu Chunhua, Li Heng was speechless: "She is now in a government agency, and is valued by the leaders; you have no power or influence now, why go see her? Besides eating a meal, do you think she will run away with you?
Okay! Even if we take a step back, even if she followed you, what would you use to support her?"
If it were anyone else, Li Heng wouldn't say such things, and would definitely comfort them mostly.
But for the dim-witted one, it's best to tell the truth, tell it as cruelly as possible, to dispel his one-track impulse.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyong's energy suddenly leaked, and he hung his head for a long time before asking: "Old Heng, then when do you think I can go find her?"
Li Heng said casually: "When you are successful in life."
Zhang Zhiyong raised his head, "What is called success in life?"
Li Heng thought for a while and said: "There is no specific standard, it varies from person to person. But you can benchmark against Liu Chunhua; when you feel you have the strength to give her everything she wants, the time will come."
Zhang Zhiyong pouted: "Then I'll set my goal at 1 million; when I have 1 million, I'll go find her."
Li Heng had a headache: "Why are you so stubborn, why haven't you given up? You don't think about it, by the time you have 1 million, it will be the year of the monkey? By then, she might already have several children."
Zhang Zhiyong turned his head and ignored him, still buzzing and clamoring: "So what if she has several children? They will all have to call me Dad."
Li Heng was angry and gave him a slap on the back of the head.
