Xiao Jia parked the car, and the two chose to stay at a youth hostel called "Watchman 6740". In fact, there are not many good places to stay nearby. Some hotels and B&Bs even have their own observation decks, but Wen Liang said she didn't. He had stayed in a youth hostel and wanted to give it a try, so Xiao Jia followed her.
Many people who stay in youth hostels these days are not really poor, but they like the atmosphere of youth hostels.
Traditional hotels can surpass youth hostels in terms of service, but many people, especially travelers, still prefer youth hostels because the charm of youth hostels is that there are many interesting people gathered here, and people are always willing to hang out with similar or interesting people. people together.
"So those dormitories on your second floor are for mixed use by men and women?"
After entering the store and listening to the introduction from the youth hostel owner, Wen Liang asked in surprise.
"Yes." The boss was not surprised.
"Fifteen beds in one room?"
"Yes, a bed costs 40 yuan, and it's almost full now."
Wen Liang's cheeks turned red, but he still asked curiously: "Is it legal? Doesn't the Public Security Bureau investigate?"
The boss had a dark look on his face.
Xiao Jia on the side suppressed a smile and said in time: "Boss, you can open a large bed room for her alone. She is not short of money. I can open a bed here."
"okay."
Wen Liang's eyes quickly moved back and forth between Xiao Jia and the boss. She wanted to complain about something, but in the end she held it back and said to Xiao Jia:
"You...um...as long as you're happy with it."
After the boss logged in the information and handed over the key, he looked at Wen Liang and suddenly said happily: "Hey, beauty, are you the lead singer of... uh... in... a bit of an interesting band?"
"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me, let's go..."
Wen Liangfei called Xiao Jia and left quickly.
"Hey, old classmate, you don't look like a shy person."
Xiao Jia followed him and said jokingly.
"But I'm not so bold and heroic, right?"
Wen Liang retorted.
"Actually, it's nothing. Most youth hostels are like this. Everyone chats at night, and the atmosphere is pretty good. There are very few embarrassing incidents."
"Forget it, I still like to be quiet at night. I have been in the car all day today, and we have to get up early tomorrow. I have to call my friends at night, so I don't feel good if I disturb others or if others disturb me. ."
"That's true."
The decoration style of the youth hostel is Tibetan style, with an all-wood structure and two floors. In addition to the rooms on the four sides, the middle area on the first floor is a large living room with sofas, wall-mounted TVs, and bookcases everywhere. The second floor They are just some low-legged tables and cushions for dining on the floor. They usually sell some butter tea and Tibetan food.
It had just fallen into the night, and it was still early for rest. There were many travel friends gathered on both the first and second floors of the youth hostel to chat and chat. A group of people came to eat beef and peanuts, and they discussed it for a while. Stayed up all night, waiting to see the sunrise the next day.
Wen Liang and Xiao Jia did not rush back to their rooms. They found a corner by the outdoor terrace on the second floor. Like others, they ordered a pot of butter tea and some snacks to spend their free time before going to bed.
At night, the sky on the plateau is always bright with stars. Looking up, you will see a brilliant scenery of stars hanging upside down on the white horses in the snow-capped mountains. If paired with a cup of Tibetan butter tea with a strong salty aroma, it is enough to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. , sweeping away the decadence after a long journey, visual and taste buds, from the inside out, physically and mentally comfortable.
"Ah~"
Wen Liang held the teacup that warmed her hands and let out a long sigh of relief. The temperature in Feilai Temple dropped a lot at night. The evening breeze blew the colorful flags and prayer flags outside, making a hunting sound. Inside the hotel Everyone chatted quietly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility under the starry sky and the tranquility in front of the snow-capped mountains.
Without speaking to the two people sitting there, Xiao Jia's eyes drifted into the distance, lost in thought.
"Can you tell me your love story?"
Wen Liang put down the teacup, put her hands on her chin, and asked the question she wanted to ask the most today. After saying that, she added:
"Of course, if you find it inconvenient, it's okay not to say anything."
Xiao Jia turned his head, his eyes soft.
"She and I...hehe, she and I, the way we got together was wrong in the beginning...we met because of a prank."
"mischief?"
When Wen Liang heard these three words, his heart moved.
Xiaojia's Adam's apple slowly moved up and down, and he slowly told Wen Liang his story...
During this period, the girl's eyes kept shining, sometimes sad and angry, sometimes happy, and sometimes confused.
"In other words, your girlfriend pretended to like you at first, but actually wanted to tease you, which made you make such a big fool of yourself. From then on, you were ridiculed at school and couldn't hold your head up in front of your classmates. In the end Did you even fail the college entrance examination?"
"Um……"
"Then this is also..."
Wen Liang hesitated for a long time. She wanted to say some words of comfort and share the same hatred with the person in front of her who had been hurt by love. But in the end, she still said honestly:
"Xiao Jia... forgive me for not being able to comfort you... because I found out from your story that some of my high school experiences, my character and situation... are all the same as the girl who hurt you... still... It's quite similar. Maybe you don't know much about how domineering I was in high school. Maybe it's just my looks, my personality, and the compliments from people around me, etc. It's just... very Expanding means being very ignorant...
After listening to your story, I am a little scared now, because there was a boy in our class just like you at that time. He was shy and introverted, with a low sense of presence. Everyone liked to bully him and make fun of him when nothing happened. I can’t even remember his name and appearance now, but when you talk about it now, I remember that I was a little bit worse at the time and was encouraged by my friends to tease him..."
Xiao Jia asked: "Then why didn't it succeed?"
Wen Liang raised his chin and thought for a while: "I was persuaded by a classmate who knew about it, and he was also very busy with the art exam at that time. Thinking about it, this is really lucky. If I had really gone to tease him at that time, it might have been really serious. It will ruin other people's lives..."
Xiao Jia smiled and said, "You don't even remember what he looks like. It seems that his sense of existence in your heart is really low. Maybe if you do this, you and he can remember each other for a lifetime. ah."
Wen Liang immediately refused and said, "It's better to say goodbye. In my impression, he has never been my type. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to remember him. Let's get back to you. Your girlfriend is teasing you like this." , I forgot about you as soon as the prank was over, what happened to you afterwards?"
"you guess."
Wen Liang was puzzled: "I guess... Well, as you said, the way you met was wrong at the beginning, and you are like this now, so it's hard for me to imagine any good results."
"Right……"
"Then do you still love her?"
"Why did you ask so?"
"Otherwise you wouldn't be able to make this trip."
Xiao Jia sighed and admitted in a low voice: "Of course I love her... because she is the first girl in my life who treats me well, even if all her good intentions were just pranks on her in the beginning."
Wen Liang stared blankly at the man in front of him who was stupid for love. There seemed to be a suffocation in his chest and he couldn't find an outlet to vent it.
She could only say angrily:
"Then...then she didn't get any punishment for hurting you like this? Are you the only one who suffers and lives in the memory?"
As soon as Wen Liang said these words, Xiao Jia smiled inexplicably and pointed at the bright galaxy above his head.
"God has already punished her for me. The world is so big that none of us can escape."
"Do you believe this?" The girl couldn't believe it.
"Speak carefully, sister. Kawabog is commonly known as the 'God of the Snow Mountains'. You must be careful when talking in front of him. Do you still want to see the Golden Mountain in the Rizhao tomorrow morning?"
Wen Liang panicked for a moment, "You...you're my sister! I'm afraid you didn't lie to me with your made-up love story. It's really hard for me to believe that you were a shy and introverted person when you were in high school!"
Xiao Jia smiled and was noncommittal.
The girl calmed down and poured herself another cup of butter tea. She raised the cup as if she wanted to have a toast with the man in front of her.
"Xiao Jia, although I am not your girlfriend, I am deeply touched by the situation similar to hers. If I were her and saw that you still stick to that joke-like agreement, I think she would definitely want to be with you now. Who said such a sentence..."
The expression on the man's face condensed slightly.
"What?"
Wen Liang motioned to the tea cup on the other party's table.
Xiao Jia lifted the cup, and the two of them drank tea instead of wine.
"It doesn't matter whether you still love her or not, or whether you forgive her or not, but I still feel that from beginning to end, she owes you - I'm sorry."
"..."
Witnessed by the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the men's and women's tea cups collided, making a clear crisp sound in mid-air.
Wen Liang finished drinking the tea and looked at Xiao Jia, whose expression was still a little stiff, with a smile.
"By the way, your piano..."
Xiao Jia came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong with Qin?"
Wen Liang smiled, stood up, ran downstairs quickly, took out the guitar Xiao Jia gave him from the trunk of the car, then returned to the man, handed it over with both hands with a smile on his face.
"I've given it to you, what are you..." Xiao Jia murmured.
"I know, but as you said, we will definitely be able to see the sun shining on Jinshan Mountain tomorrow..."
Wen Liang couldn't help but put the guitar into Xiao Jia's arms. After she sat down, she held her cheek with one hand and said softly:
"If nothing else happens, this should be our last stop. Tomorrow, I can see my snow-capped mountains, and you will fulfill your agreement. I see that you were silent along the way. You must be in a complicated mood, right? Play whatever you want. Order something, sing something to let it go, Xiao Jia, it’s time for you to let go..."
Xiaojia...
Or rather, He Tianran.
He stared at the piano in front of him. At this moment, all the love and hate, all the joy and sorrow, and all the bits and pieces of warmth and coolness appeared in front of his eyes like a tide. Then, all kinds of beauty and sadness just appeared in his eyes. Unknowingly, tears condensed into drops, sliding down the corners of the boy's eyes...
Tears dripped down and hit the piano surface, shattering into pieces, crystal clear.
His eyes were red, he sniffed, turned the guitar around, held the headstock with his left hand, and pressed his right hand against the strings.
He looked across at the girl who was very close to him.
Her smile remained the same.
…
Your shadow is everywhere, and people’s thoughts are like a speck of dust
Falling in the past, drifting into the future, falling into the eyes will make tears flow
…
According to legend, if you can see the complete Meili Snow Mountain, then the person who sees it will be lucky for a whole year.
However, there are only about forty days in a year when you can see the true appearance of the sacred mountain.
Sure enough, He Tianran's determination when he arrived brought them the best luck in their trip.
God, Wen Liang didn't feel regretful again.
On this day, the golden light of Meili Snow Mountain appeared at 7:15 in the morning.
The morning glow is shining in the east, and the rows of white mountains are like ministers waiting for the king. With a bright and dazzling glow, it pierces the cloud veil like a sharp blade and shoots towards the world. The top of the main peak Kawabog is the first to be affected by it. He received this gift from heaven, caught that little bit of golden light, and then gradually spread it into a thread.
The golden glow, like a magical giant hand, slowly opened the soft fog curtain, the dividing line between light and dark sunlight began to move downward, and the color of the snow-capped mountains began to change from cold to golden red.
The colorful flags and prayer flags flying to the temple are playing in the wind, the sound of hunting is endless, and the wind blows and the clouds bloom.
The Thirteen Peaks of Meili rushed towards my eyes without any obstruction, and they were so majestic!
On the huge viewing platform, people looked at the snow-capped mountains from a distance. They were all shocked by this miraculous scenery. Wen Liang excitedly pulled the corner of the man's clothes. She jumped up, raised her finger and pointed into the distance, turning to face The man said:
"Xiao A, look, look quickly, Xiao A! We really saw Kawaborg, we really saw the sunshine on Jinshan Mountain. Wow, it's so beautiful!"
"I saw it, I saw it..."
The sky and the earth are silent, behind Wen Liang is the whiteness of the mountains, and in front of the boy is a beautiful pavilion that will fade from time to time. At this moment, there is no need to think about which one is his beauty.
The snow on the top of Kawabog Mountain seemed to fall to the boy's head with the wind and refused to melt for a long time.
At this time, one of the two people was as old as ever, while the other was as old as new.
…
I have been filled with endless emotions, sometimes loneliness is more real than hugs
Let the spring of my heart go, let the autumn of my dreams come, let you leave
Can't bear to forget, everything is for love, no regrets, and me...
…
"Xiao Jia, make a wish quickly!"
"Make a wish?"
"Yes! Make a wish!"
Wen Liang rushed to the fence selflessly, put her hands on the railing covered with colorful flags and prayer flags, and looked at it with great joy. This girl is really as she said, when she encounters something she likes, even if the other person stays where she is, she will Will rush to go...
The boy stepped forward slowly, and the girl clasped her hands tightly between her brows, muttering softly to the sound of the wind:
"May all go well with you……"
"Be in good health." The boy behind him continued.
"Longevity!"
"Smooth sailing."
As if they were deliberately going against each other, the two of them couldn't help but compare prayers and blessings, saying one sentence after another, one after another...
"Make a name for yourself!"
"Encounter happiness."
"Good luck!"
"Love and harmony."
"Bright future!"
"Naivety."
"Lucky stars shine!"
"...I forgive you."
…
Let the past go with the wind, let everything go with the wind, go with the wind, let your heart move with you
Yesterday the flowers withered and bloomed, it was not a dream, it was not a dream, it was not a dream
Let the past go with the wind, let it all go with the wind, let it go with the wind, and my heart will hurt with you
Tomorrow the ebb and flow will be all me, all me, all me
…
Looking at the snow-capped mountains, Wen Liang smiled, thinking that Xiao Jia behind him finally got rid of the shackles of that love.
Now, they can finally get to know each other officially, right?
Maybe he should take back his previous thoughts that the two of them had nothing to do with each other. After these few encounters, Wen Liang felt that this man who called himself "Passerby" was worthy of a serious friendship. The two of them could start as friends.
No one can predict what will happen in the future...
"By the way, Xiaojia..."
A gust of wind blew through the cool hair on the back of her neck. She withdrew her gaze from the snow-capped mountains and turned around.
"What is your name...word..."
Behind her, there was no one.
The girl stood there, at a loss.
Wen Liang was stunned for a while, looking around, but there was no trace of the boy. He could only turn around again, leaning on the railing, looking at the white snow in the distance that he had been looking forward to for a long time, and said absentmindedly:
"Haha, what a weirdo. He left without saying a word... huh...?"
Feeling that her cheeks were a little moist, Wen Liang stretched out her fingers to touch them. Unexpectedly, tears fell from her eyes...
"It's just that a stranger has left...why does it feel...so uncomfortable..."
The warm journey ended like this.
And the memories of travel, sooner or later, will fade away like smoke, like wind, like dreams.
The girl faced the snow-capped mountains, wiped away her tears, and thought so.
(Volume 5, Like Smoke, ends.)
