After almost staying at home, Tao You and Song Yimian prepared their things and prepared to go up the mountain.
"You two are too energetic. It's such a hot weather. Why do you want to go hiking in such a hot weather? It will be too late for heatstroke soon." Grandma Tao complained, but she still helped Tao You fill a large bottle of water and put it into the small backpack. , took out two more straw hats and handed them to them, "Be careful on the road and come back early."
"Be careful when your grandpa comes back and beats you." Grandma Tao smiled and patted Tao You's butt.
"Oh, grandma, how old are we?" Tao You quickly glanced at Song Yimian who was standing aside, turned sideways awkwardly, and hugged Grandma Tao's arm, "Don't worry, we are sensible."

No matter what time it is, there is always a group of uncles and aunts gathered at the entrance of the village. No matter how hot the weather is, they will sit on the stone pier or in front of the threshold with sweaty cattail fans, chatting about endless gossip topics.
"Xiaoyou, where are you going?" Far away, an old man with his undershirt open and shaking his hands with one hand placed an enamel cup with the word "囍" beside his feet and pointed at Song Yimian. He asked curiously with the basket on his back.
For a moment, everyone looked at Tao You and the others, some of whom they knew and some who didn't.
"Uncle, eldest grandpa, second grandpa, Aunt Hua, Aunt Fang," Tao Youchong greeted the familiar elders, pointed to the mountain behind, and said with a smile, "Let's climb the mountain. He is Xiao Song, Song Yimian, You all know him."
The grandpa narrowed his eyes and took a closer look, "Hey, it's Xiao Song. I haven't seen him for many years. He has grown so tall and lost weight." In the early years, the grandpa had a throat injury and was not able to get treatment in time. His voice His throat became scratchy, as if he was sawing the legs of a table.
Song Yimian put a smile on his face and greeted politely.
Uncle Qiang came out of the canteen with a cigarette in his mouth and looked at his phone, "Going up the mountain at this time?"
"Have you forgotten that time when you were a child? Aren't you afraid that your grandpa will scold you in the yard again in the middle of the night?" he teased.
"Uncle Qiang." Song Yimian greeted him.
"Uncle Qiang." Tao You scratched the back of his head, "We'll be back as soon as we go."
Not to mention that she had forgotten it, but it was Uncle Qiang who carried Song Yimian down the mountain.
"Shh," Tao You made a gesture to silence, "Don't tell my grandpa."
Aunt Hua held her newborn granddaughter in her arms and said enthusiastically to Tao You and Song Yimian: "Xiao Song, Xiao You, your cousin and cousin-in-law are back from vacation these days, and they will come to our house for dinner. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m ”
"Okay." Tao You responded, grabbing Song Yimian's clothes and hurriedly escaped from the gossip center of the village.
"Song? Grandma, why haven't I seen that boy in the village before?" A girl who looked a few years younger than Tao You poked her head out from behind Aunt Fang, rolled her eyes, and asked.
Aunt Fang fanned her and said, "You only come here a few times a year, and every time you come you stay at home. Besides, Xiao Song is not from our village. Of course you have never seen him."
The girl looked at the retreating figures of Tao You and Song Yimian, and murmured: "So handsome."

Tao You and Song Yimian came to the foot of the mountain.
The path made of stone slabs is built on the side of the road, which is very conspicuous. Along the way up, various plants become more dense and dense, and it is stuffy, hot and humid. The ground is covered with chestnut tree flowers, long and dark. , very much like caterpillars piled together, and the feeling of stepping on them is also very similar; the edges are full of tea trees, full of tea seeds. This was originally a tea garden, but now it has been repaired and paved. Bayi Chinese website
There are bursts of cicada sounds. The higher you go up, the louder the sound in your ears. It seems to be deafening, and it is more likely to evoke the feeling of dryness in your heart.
After walking for a while, they finally reached a place with a wide view. Tao You stopped and wiped the sweat from his face.
Song Yimian followed her and took a towel to wipe her sweat: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, no." Tao You was startled by his sudden approach. He took a small step back and took the towel, "I'll do it myself."
"Then why haven't you spoken?" Song Yimian asked.
——I am not a cicada on the tree, calling non-stop twenty-four hours a day. No, even cicadas will. (The next page is more exciting!)
There is a time for rest. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
Tao You took a sip of water and turned around to see Song Yimian raising his head to drink water.
The sky is blue, with no clouds. Most of them are concentrated on the horizon, looking white and soft. The sun illuminated every strand of his hair. Sweat slipped from his temples, along his perfectly shaped jawline, past his Adam's apple that rolled up and down, and finally slid into his collar. Tao You followed the clear beads of sweat with his eyes. , stunned, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
——Why are you so handsome even when you drink water?
Suddenly, she seemed to understand the Adam's apple control that Hong Xiqi kept repeating in her ears before, even trying to pull her into a trap. This is what she said, sexy, right? She really wanted to get her hands on it and feel what it felt like.
Tao You couldn't help but swallowed, and he didn't know what was wandering in his mind.
"Youzai?"
"Xiaoyou?"
"···슷··"
"Tao You!" Song Yimian saw that Tao You's eyes were dull and there was no response after calling several times, so he turned sideways and shouted in her ear.
"Ah?" Tao You came back from his fantasy world.
Song Yimian glanced behind him in confusion, but found nothing.
He raised his finger and flicked it towards Tao You's forehead: "Why are you so fascinated? Let's go quickly."
"Oh." Tao You stroked his slightly red forehead and continued walking up behind Song Yimian, "I didn't see anything. It's just that this chestnut flower is so disgusting. It looks pretty good on the tree. It's so dense. I almost have a phobia." She was talking to herself, her feet were soft on the ground, as if she were stepping on bugs, and goosebumps appeared all over her body. The more she thought about it, the more disgusting she became.
After hearing this, Song Yimian held on to his straw hat, looked around, picked up a dead branch on the roadside, and pushed aside the chestnut flowers in the middle of the road: "Let's go."
——————————————————————————
Smoke was rising from the chimneys in the village one after another, and half of the sun had already set on the other side of the mountain.
Tao You took off his straw hat to fan himself and put a hand in front of his forehead. "Where are we? Why do we feel that we are still far away from the creek on the mountain." He lifted his aching leg and stepped up a step.
Song Yimian stopped, turned around, frowned slightly, and his tone was full of disbelief: "You don't know where you are? Then why are you so confident and come up here?"
"Haha." Tao You laughed awkwardly, "Well, let's just walk first. Walk the same path to the end, and you won't be afraid of getting lost."
——Why did you forget to ask where the stream is? This is completely different from what I thought at first.
Tao You knocked his head secretly.
I thought it would be a romantic thing to watch the stars and fireflies together on the mountain at night, but it seemed...she messed it up.
————————————————————————
It was pitch dark on the mountain. Song Xiaoan had sent messages more than once to urge them to go back. However, the signal on the mountain was not very good. Tao You ignored the messages and did not know whether they were sent or not.
Tao You didn't know exactly how far they had walked, but she only knew that listening to the voice in her ears and looking at Song Yimian's back walking in front, she seemed to have seen the scene when she was a child again.
Nothing has changed, but it seems like everything has changed.
"It's probably a wasted trip." Tao You held a flashlight in one hand while nibbling on the apples that Grandma Tao asked them to bring up the mountain. After so long, she was already starving, "I still haven't found them yet." She swatted away the small flying insects in front of her eyes.
Tao You looked at the large dark woods around him, feeling terrified and always vigilant. And I told myself in my heart - don’t regret the path you chose.
Song Yimian stopped, took out the mosquito repellent, and sprayed it around Tao You and himself, "We've come here, let's take a look further."
Tao You is not willing to give in. He has almost reached the top. Now he will be criticized when he goes back, and he will be criticized when he returns later. There is no difference. Hearing what Song Yimian said, she agreed without hesitation and continued to move forward.
The mountains at night are not as sultry as during the day, and the summer wind blows, bringing with it bursts of coolness.
Tao You looked at the sky through the branches above his head. The moon had already hung above them at some point, and he could clearly see the black moon sea above, with the sparse stars twinkling brightly. . (The next page is more exciting!)
For the first time, she found herself so close to the sky, as if she could touch it.
"This is it?" Tao You pointed at the stars in the sky and played with them together with her fingers, "Big Dipper?!" She took out her mobile phone to take pictures in surprise.
Song Yimian raised his head when he heard the sound, "It should be right, it's the Big Dipper."
"This is the first time I have seen the complete Big Dipper!" Tao You kept talking while taking photos, "It's worth the trip. It's worth the trip. I'll show it to Xiao An when I get back."
Song Yimian looked at Tao You with a smile in his eyes.
Suddenly, he stepped forward and covered Tao You's unstoppable mouth: "Shh, don't talk."
"What's wrong?!" Tao You asked vaguely in a low voice, his eyes widened, and he turned around cleverly, looking at the dark woods. He held Song Yimian's arms tightly with both hands, and his legs instantly became so weak that he could no longer walk.
The wind blew, and the leaves swayed and rubbed, making a "rustling" sound. Tao You pricked up his ears alertly, his scalp numb, and asked himself in his heart - Why do you have to climb to the top of the mountain so late at night? Why don't you go home?
After a while, Song Yimian let go of his hand, patted Tao You on the shoulder and said, "Keep walking, it's okay."
"What happened?!" Tao You was still uneasy in his heart.
"I just seemed to hear the sound of water." Song Yimian said, "It shouldn't be far away."
——It turns out to be water.
Tao You soothed his chest, let out a long breath, and finally let go of his hanging heart.
She wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and said a little tiredly: "We are finally here, hurry up and go."
————————————————————————
"Are you here?" Tao You turned on the flashlight and looked at a patch of short grass in front of him. Not far away was a stream. The water flow was quite sufficient, and the exposed smooth stones reflected the moonlight. The wooden house was still there, but it had become very dilapidated and crawling. Full of moss and vine-like green plants.
"There are no fireflies." Although she had roughly guessed the result and was mentally prepared, she was still disappointed after seeing it with her own eyes. "Forget it, let's go back." She scratched her mosquito-bitten arm and prepared to turn around and walk back. .
Song Yimian held Tao You and looked up at the treetops a few meters higher: "Wait a minute." He said, took out the mosquito repellent and sprayed it towards Tao You, "Take it and spray it if there are mosquitoes. "
"Okay." Tao You took it and took out his phone.
--No signal.
She took her phone back angrily, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked up at the sky. First\./Posted\./Updated\./New`..Mobile version. Apart from that, she didn’t know what else to do. .
