On the first day he stayed in the mountains, Xun Xiangbin showed his ability to pamper himself.
The word "pampered" is not to blame him. In fact, life in the city is so different from that in the mountains that he, who has lived in the city for five years, cannot bear the hardships in the mountains.
When in the city, most people spend their days commuting to and from get off work on time on 28-meter-long poles.
But in the mountains, everyone bundles up tightly in large cotton-padded jackets and has to wear spiked shoes to go out in search of food despite the severe cold.
That day, Luo Xiujuan planned to set a trap with the villagers before going to the mountains to harvest.
The trap was to catch a few pheasants. Although she also raised chickens at home, Luo Xiujuan also set several traps on the nearby mountains when she had nothing to do.
The ice and snow in the mountains were still there. Xun Xiangbin heard that she was going up the mountain and refused to agree to anything.
In order to show that he was useful to Luo Xiujuan and to make up for it, he took the cloth bag, put on the nail shoes, and followed the villagers into the mountains.
But he doesn't have that diamond.
The trap set by Luo Xiujuan caught a pheasant, but he could not dismantle it. The accidental collision aroused the pheasant's fighting spirit, and it flapped its wings and pecked him.
That pheasant is also smart.
Not only can it peck people, it can also fly and peck people.
The claws scratched Xun Xiangbin's face, and the sharp mouth was aimed at Xun Xiangbin, trying to peck out his eyes.
Xun Xiangbin could only block the pheasant's close attack while hurriedly dismantling the trap. As a result, the more anxious he became, the more he could not dismantle the trap. The scene was a mess, with chicken feathers flying everywhere.
I don't know how to do it in the end.
A sonorous sound——
The trap is broken.
The pheasant flew away.
His body also leaned back suddenly, and rolled down the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately, the cliff was not too high or too steep. After rolling a few times, I hit a tree pillar and saved my life.
This is just great.
Originally Xun Xiangbin stayed to take care of Luo Xiujuan, but now that he fell, it was Luo Xiujuan who took care of him.
Lu Guohua, who was a gossip in the village, had also heard about the past events between Luo Xiujuan and Xun Xiangbin. After learning about the incident, he expressed bad luck for Luo Xiujuan at home.
But as the head of a village, he simply went to Lao Qin's house to express his condolences.
Xun Xiangbin's body didn't suffer any major damage from the fall. His arms and legs were not broken. He hit his head and bled a lot. He lay sickly on the bed and couldn't say a few words when he saw anyone.
Later, when Luo Xiujuan took care of him, she discovered that he seemed not to remember people.
Luo Xiujuan asked him: "Do you know who I am?"
He shook his head.
Luo Xiujuan asked him again: "Do you know where this is?"
He still shook his head.
Luo Xiujuan thought he had broken his head, so she asked with her last glimmer of hope: "Then do you still remember yourself?"
This time Xun Xiangbin nodded and said, "I know."
He said his name was Xun Xiangbin, an educated youth who had just gone to the countryside, but he didn't know why he broke his head. He also asked Luo Xiujuan, when can he regain his health and go out to earn work points?
Luo Xiujuan's mood was quite complicated at that moment.
The person who was pestering you just a second ago and said he would stay with you for the rest of his life to make it up to you suddenly forgot everything.
That's all, Luo Xiujuan thought to herself that this was probably God's will.
It was a good thing that Xun Xiangbin forgot about her. Originally, she had no intention of getting back together with him. If he forgot about her, they could start a new life again.
In the end, Luo Xiujuan did not tell Xun Xiangbin about what happened between them.
He only told Xun Xiangbin as a stranger that it had been many years since he left. The movement of educated youths going to the countryside had long ended, and he had been back in the city for five years. Today, he was going to the countryside for fun and accidentally got into an accident in the mountains.
Xun Xiangbin didn't believe it at first.
From his perspective, how come so many years have passed since he fell.
But Luo Xiujuan brought him a mirror.
He looked in the mirror, looking at the weathered face in the mirror, the stubble on the chin and the fine lines in the eyes, and there was no doubt that he was there.
"This is his current situation. I want him to recuperate at home first. When he recovers, I will personally send him back to the city."
Luo Xiujuan said on the phone.
After learning from Lu Guohua that Xun Xiangbin fell off the cliff, Qin Zheng asked Lu Guohua to call Luo Xiujuan and ask about the matter in detail.
After hearing the whole story clearly, Ye Yun suddenly felt an unspeakable desolation in her heart.
Xun Xiangbin, who had been living under oppression, finally summoned up all the courage and strength to resist, and stayed firmly and resolutely in the mountains, staying with his beloved girl.
But it was precisely because of his intention that he forgot all this.
It's like a person who lives in the dark seabed and finally makes up his mind to climb ashore to see the light. The moment he comes into contact with the light, he forgets the original intention of coming ashore.
"As long as you have an idea."
Regarding Luo Xiujuan's decision, Ye Yun did not comment and only said a few words.
Luo Xiujuan also hummed softly.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yun felt a little out of breath for some reason. She lay on the couch by the window and looked absently at the few winter finches on her fingers outside the window.
…
In the mountains.
When it got dark early, Luo Xiujuan hung up the phone and said goodbye to Lu Guohua before rushing home.
Before she reached the door of Lao Qin's house, she saw someone holding a kerosene lamp standing at the door of the house, waiting for her motionless.
As I got closer, I realized it was Xun Xiangbin.
Luo Xiujuan was startled, "Oh my god... what are you doing here?"
She quickly pulled Xun Xiangbin's cotton-padded jacket sleeves and walked into the courtyard, "Hurry back, you won't be afraid of getting stuck outside."
Xun Xiangbin smiled sheepishly.
"It's cold outside, it's dark and the roads are slippery. I see you didn't bring a light, so I came out to pick you up."
He said it easily and naturally, as if he was grateful for Luo Xiujuan's care for him these days.
Luo Xiujuan just said: "I am more familiar with you here, so you don't have to worry about this."
Xun Xiangbin nodded, "Well, you are from here, so naturally you are more familiar with it than me."
Luo Xiujuan paused slightly.
Who is she from here?
She got here begging for food.
But seeing Xun Xiangbin smiling innocently, she said nothing and pushed him back to the main room.
During this time, Xun Xiangbin set up a simple bed in the main room to sleep.
Separation is the bed between Qin Zheng and Ye Yun. Although Qin Zheng and Ye Yun are not at home, the meaning is different. Unless Qin Zheng and Ye Yun agree, they cannot let outsiders stay at will.
After sending Xun Xiangbin back to the house, Luo Xiujuan turned around and planned to go back to the west room to rest.
But the moment she closed the door.
"Comrade Xiujuan."
Xun Xiangbin's call came from behind, soft, low, a little urgent, and a little bit unnoticeable.
Luo Xiujuan slowly turned around and looked at him.
There was no electric light in the small room, only the kerosene lamp in Xun Xiangbin's hand was on, and the obscure warm light illuminated his scratched and reddish face.
He looked at Luo Xiujuan, and there seemed to be unspeakable emotions in his dark pupils.
That look seemed to be looking at a treasure that had just been dug out and had been isolated for thousands of years. It was filled with deep longing, which seemed to have thousands of words but could not be expressed at the moment.
After a long while, his throat rolled up and he asked in a low voice: "Have we known each other before?"
