troublemaker

Chapter [-] There is a girl Tsing Yi

Qilian Mountains, mountains and mountains.

The scenery here is diverse, including lush forests, bare and desolate ridges, and the snow that never melts on the mountains in the distance, as well as the vast plains below the mountains. The scenery of the Northwest is unobstructed here. Xiadeng and the others, who had never been to the Northwest, were attracted by the scenery, thinking about the opportunity to travel the Northwest route by car.

The cemetery of the victims in Fenghuang Village is on the original site of the previous village. If Li Qingyi hadn’t used his family connections that time, it would have taken a lot of effort to clean up the mess left by the mudslide. There are no monuments or signs in the graveyard. If a stranger broke into this place, they would have no idea what happened here, and what kind of stories there are. Maybe they who sleep here do not want to be remembered or disturbed by anyone.

There are many trees planted around the cemetery, surrounding it, and the desolation left by the previous mudslide on the back mountain has also been repaired to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Li Qingyi took Er Fatty and began to put incense burning paper on each grave. Li Qingyi was familiar with every family in every household in Fenghuang Village. There were no photos on the tombstones, because most of the villagers in Fenghuang Village had never been photographed in their entire lives. Each person's name and year of birth and death.

Burning incense and burning paper, Li Qingyi told Erpang stories about everyone. Erpang listened quietly. When he met someone who liked to smoke, he poured a few glasses of good wine. , Li Qingyi and Er Fatty stayed the longest, after burning the paper and putting on the incense, Li Qingyi poured a bottle of wine for the old village head himself, and said with emotion, "In the whole village, they always scold good-for-nothing, but they are the worst in their hearts." It is the old village head who hurts Chuxi. The old village chief knows that he has always wanted to go outside the mountain to see it. Most people in the village think that the idea of ​​​​Qixi is a fantasy. , this is arranged by God, let alone what it is like outside the mountain, you are a farmer who has no skills, who knows what will happen to you, you may lose your life, it is a dream to get ahead, only the old village The boss supports him. No one in the village has ever been to a big city. You have to break the shackles and tell them what the big city outside the mountains looks like. If you are not born a farmer, your children and grandchildren must be farmers.”

"The old village chief is a good man." Er Fatty heard Zhao Chuxi say a lot about the old village chief. His family couldn’t fill their stomachs, but the old village head was the one who treated him the most severely. Once he was so hungry that he stole food and was caught by the old village head, who beat him hard. He told him that if you are hungry, you can find a way by yourself, or you can ask others, and you can pay it back later, but you can't steal it, so he was able to hunt later, and the old village head's family distributed the most prey every time he hunted back.

Li Qingyi said sadly, "The old village chief is a good person, and the villagers in Fenghuang Village are all good people, but good people don't live long."

Er Fatty stopped talking, and Li Qingyi stopped talking. The two of them continued to burn incense and paper in a tacit understanding. They spent an hour and a half here alone. By the time they finished their work, it was already afternoon. Fortunately, there was sunshine today. , or it will start to get cold.

After paying homage to the villagers of Fenghuang Village, the two walked side by side to the west end of the village, not far from the school, where an old monk who had been buried in seclusion for half his life was buried. Little Ping'an, buried in Zhao Chuxi's parents who couldn't see their son now prominent.

The three graves were not far apart, the one on the far side was the joint tomb of Zhao Chuxi's parents, the one in the middle was that of the old monk, and the one next to it was that of Xiao Ping'an.

Seeing the grave of the old monk, Li Qingyi couldn't help but think about many things. This old man who was famous all over his life died in an unknown way. Enduring the last period of humiliation, maybe the old man's choice was right. At that time, how many people can survive and how many people do not violate their conscience, at least he can have a clear conscience.

The old man walked into Fenghuang Village and never went out again. Perhaps Zhao Chuxi who walked out of Fenghuang Village was the best continuation of the old man's life.

As for Little Ping'an, Li Qingyi didn't know what to say. The fate of the smartest child in Fenghuang Village was the most disturbing. He was the child that Li Qingyi thought was most likely to become famous in the future, except for Zhao Chuxi. Clever, with a flexible mind and rich imagination, it's a pity that God is jealous of talents.

Finally, there are Zhao Chuxi's parents, whom Li Qingyi has never met. People in the village say that Zhao Chuxi's mother is very beautiful, honest and kind, and Zhao Chuxi's father is hardworking and simple. Chuxi stood on the top of the mountain in this life, no longer insignificant.

Compared to Li Qingyi, Er Pang didn't think much. Those who were kind to Zhao Chuxi were kind to him. Those who Zhao Chuxi cared about, he cared about. Zhao Chuxi's parents were also his parents.

Leaving here, this trip to Fenghuang Village has come to an end. Finally, Li Qingyi and Er Fatty came to the school that escaped the catastrophe. Now it is empty and deserted, and the hearty laughter of the children can no longer be heard.

Maybe she didn't want to recall the people and things here, but Li Qingyi didn't go in, but replaced the faded and tattered national flag with her own hands, and watched the brand new national flag fluttering in the wind again. At this moment, it seemed that she went back to a few years ago when she just arrived At the time of Fenghuang Village.

At that time, the mountain flowers were blooming and harmonious...

Not in a hurry to leave Fenghuang Village, the two walked to the side of the mountain and looked at the Qilian Mountain. They seemed to have something to talk about. Li Qingyi took the lead and said, "It seems that you are going to inherit Lin Zhenbei's mantle?"

"This is what grandma told me, and I have to do it. Besides, all of this belongs to our Lin family." Er Fatty replied in a low voice, what belongs to Lin Zhenbei belongs to the Lin family, and what belongs to the Lin family belongs to him.

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "That's right. Lin Zhenbei, who wanders among all kinds of people and goes up to the temples and down to the rivers and lakes, is indeed ranked number one in the big circle of Sijiu City. One day, you will eventually stand on the top of the list." In this position, you have many advantages over Zhao Chuxi, and these advantages are difficult to make up for the day after tomorrow."

No matter how deep the water in Sichuan and Chongqing is, how can it be compared with Beijing, Tianjin and Tang Dynasty? It is full of people from all over the country and elites from all walks of life. Behind any person is not a series of profit chains. If you can get along here Wherever the wind blows, the lion fights the rabbit.

"It's too early to say these things. I still have a long way to go. At least Chuxi's current achievements have left many people stunned." Er Fatty shook his head and said in affirmation of Zhao Chuxi.

Li Qingyi was a little worried, "I'm afraid he doesn't know where his risks lie?"

"I heard you're getting engaged?" Li Qingyi said, Er Fatty agreed that some risks were hidden, and even they didn't know where the bottom line of the risk was. Only Zhao Chuxi went to test it out slowly.

Li Qingyi frowned slightly and said, "Who did you listen to?"

"Is this the default?" Er Fatty asked back.

Li Qingyi laughed and said, "It's something that hasn't been decided yet, it's just my family's opinion. I'm well-matched, young and promising. They think it's the most suitable candidate for me. After all, I'm a woman, and my ultimate goal is to be a husband and a child."

Er Fatty turned his head to look at Li Qingyi, thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you said that your previous prospects were not good enough for you, I admit it, but I think your current prospects are more suitable for you than everyone else. Don't tell me, you are right for him." You don’t have feelings, and if you don’t have feelings, you wouldn’t do so many things.”

"He's about to get married. Is there any use for you to say this?" Li Qingyi said lightly. These words did not seem to deny that Er Fatty said that she had feelings for Zhao Chuxi.

Er Fatty said with emotion, "Some things, if you don't tell them, they may be regrets for a lifetime. When he gets married, and you get married, there will be no more chances."

These words touched Li Qingyi inexplicably, and something began to throb in his heart, but it was suppressed again.

Li Qingyi smiled bitterly and said, "A relationship is a matter between two people, not me alone. Zhao Chuxi is too inferior in front of me. He is always used to looking up at me and never treats me as an ordinary woman. If one day, If he can let go of these things, if he dares to marry, I will marry."

If he dares to marry, I will marry. The last sentence is powerful, with incomparable perseverance and conviction. This is Li Qingyi, who has always been so straightforward. Today is also the first time she has faced up to her feelings for Zhao Chuxi in front of outsiders. , That's right, spending more than two years with a man day and night, and watching this man spend more than two years walking from Qilian Mountain to a big city, breaking away from mediocrity, standing above everyone, who will believe that he has no feelings?

It could be said that so far, she knew Zhao Chuxi better than everyone else, none of them knew Zhao Chuxi better than everyone else.

Li Qingyi couldn't help but think of the joke at the time. It was her promise to encourage Zhao Chuxi. The two of them seemed to be in the same position today. When the sun was setting, Zhao Chuxi came to bring her food. She was wearing new clothes and walking in the direction of the setting sun. Zhao Chuxi, the sun was shining on her body, and her long hair was fluttering, making Zhao Chuxi staring at her in a daze, and he didn't recover for a long time.

She asked Zhao Chuxi, Zhao Chuxi, am I pretty?

The silly Zhao Chuxi smiled and nodded.

She asked again, do you want to marry a beautiful woman like me as your wife?

Zhao Chuxi froze for a moment, then nodded, then shook his head.

She said badly, to tell the truth.

Zhao Chuxi nodded resolutely this time, and there was a kind of desire and ambition in his eyes.

So she said, Zhao Chuxi, if one day you can build a brand new Hope Primary School for the village, I will promise to marry you.

Almost four years have passed since this promise, and she still remembers it. I don't know if Zhao Chuxi remembers...
