migratory birds do not return

Hou Xiao was woken up by Bai Song's phone call. He had been dreaming in a daze all night. When the phone rang, he sat up from the bed almost instantly, and quickly pressed the sound to avoid waking Ruan Tang up.

He put on a coat and walked lightly to the balcony. As soon as he slid down the switch button, a burst of deafening heavy metal music exploded. Hou Xiao knew that Bai Song must have gone somewhere to make a fuss.He rubbed his ears, put the phone away, and when he moved it back, there were only noisy voices on the other end of the phone.

"It turns out that the photographers from the photography club plan to get together and go out for a travel shoot. Do you want to go?" Bai Song said as he walked towards a place with few people. The land is still with you, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to catch up with the start of school or something. I’ll be the first to notify you of such a good thing.”

"I'm not familiar with this place when I first arrived." Hou Xiao went out to put on the sleeve of his coat with one free hand, "I still want to get acquainted with the surrounding environment in the next few days."

"Isn't that just right, we just happen to be together, we can get together and let you get familiar with the environment, killing two birds with one stone."

Hou Xiao knew Bai Song's temper, and if he made up his mind, there would be almost no chance for others to overthrow it. Besides, what he said was also reasonable.Hou Xiao twirled his fingertips and said vaguely, "That's fine, when?"

"I'll see you at Changgu Central Plaza in two hours." Bai Song said, "They should call you when they arrive."

Hou Xiao put away his cell phone and went back to the dormitory to pack his things.He didn't want to bring much, mainly some basic changes of clothes, and the camera that he hadn't touched all summer. My aunt had been helping him take it for maintenance, and it didn't look old now.

Holding the camera, he slowly browsed through the undeleted photos.Hou Xiao doesn't keep photos in the camera for a long time, and usually uploads them to the computer, so there are less than ten photos on it.Every photo is taken by Du Baigong.

The movement of his hands stopped, and Hou Xiao looked at one of the photos, which he took casually in winter.

In the middle of winter, a heavy snowfall decorated the ground softly, like a layer of velvet.Stepping on it with one deep foot and one shallow foot, the slight sound was barely audible, Du Baigong was wrapped in clothes, squatting on the shore, his eyes seemed to be piercing through the thin ice on the lake.

Hou Xiao really didn't know the benefits of staying outside other than being cold, but he couldn't hold back Du Baigong, so he could only walk over and look at the glacier with him.

Du Baigong took a frost-covered branch and poked it twice on the ice. He scratched off a little bit of the white snow, but the solid ice layer still remained.

After gesticulating for a long time, Du Baigong finally dropped the branch and asked lazily, "When will this ice melt?"

"It doesn't have to be in spring—why, do you still want to break it?"

"That's not true, I think he's in the way." Du Baigong pointed to the ice surface, "It blocked my friendly communication with the fish."

Hou Xiao smiled: "That is, in order to prevent all the fish it has worked so hard to raise from being caught and run away by you."

Later, Du Baigong tried to adopt other methods to melt the ice, but the first few ended in failure, and before the last one could be implemented, he was captured by Hou Xiao first.

Hou Xiao was worried that he would catch cold if he stayed in the freezing cold outside for a long time, so he stuffed him back into the house without any explanation. The warm air rushed towards his face, penetrated into his clothes along the collar, and warmed a large area of ​​his skin.He was rubbing his hands and bouncing around trying to warm his feet. Hou Xiao thought it was funny, so he took out his camera and took a picture of him.

Looking at it now, it's really funny.

Hou Xiao took a deep breath, turned off the camera hastily, and went out with his things.The clothes he wore were not thin, and the collar was buttoned tightly, but they couldn't resist the cold wind that crept through every seam.

Hou Xiao shivered, and quickly wrapped the scarf in his hand twice. After only a few minutes, his fingertips were already turning red from the cold. The white mist quickly covered the eyes, and the vision became blurred.

Looking for the nearest bus stop, Hou Xiao lowered his head and rubbed his fingertips, then slightly curled his fingers and took out the mobile phone in his pocket. The mobile phone was soaked in the cold, and it felt like a brick to the touch.

Hou Xiao checked the chat history twice, and clicked on a person's name uncontrollably with his fingers. After hesitating again and again, he typed a few words lightly: "Are you up?"

Looking for something to say.Hou Xiao sighed silently, deleted the typed sentence word by word, and was about to put away the phone when the half-extinguished phone suddenly lit up, and the chat interface with Du Baigong slid down. Displays the other party's latest reply.

"are you awake?"

"go out."

"I heard from Bai Song that the photography agency has a travel shoot that you want to go to." Du Baigong said, "He called me too, and I just left."

Bai Song this guy.Hou Xiao looked up at the empty road, and replied, "See you later."

The waiting time was a bit too long, and the school was too remote, at least half an hour for a bus. Hou Xiao thought of the content of the text message just now, feeling a bit upset, and took it out of his pocket without thinking too much. Cigarettes and a lighter.Du Baigong quit this, he was addicted to this stuff after he didn't like it before.

Hou Xiao lit the cigarette between his fingers, and slowly turned the lighter in his hand.He wanted to imitate it, and the lighter also tried his best to find a similar one, but the one printed on it was not a beautiful gray forest owl, but a very funny big eagle. The small lighter could barely accommodate it, only the head was removed. Half of the tail is printed, and it looks like a poor imitation.

A little spark was burning precariously in the cold wind, a bit of soot was blown down, it didn't stay on the concrete floor for long, and was blown away to a distance.

Hou Xiao's whole body was stiff, but he couldn't tell where he was unhappy. It seemed that since the reunion with Du Baigong, that inexplicable sense of anxiety had been lingering in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Hou Xiao lightly exhaled a puff of white smoke, and when he realized it, the hot end of the cigarette had already burned his fingertips. Under the pain, Hou Xiao lost his hand and lost the cigarette, and it was too late to retrieve it.

He didn't bring much with him when he went out, and he didn't have anything else without this one. Hou Xiao simply put away the lighter, swallowed the terrible feeling in his throat, took out his mobile phone and called a car half-bakedly.

When he arrived at Changgu Central Square, Hou Xiao saw a few familiar old classmates at a glance.There was an unwritten rule in the photography club that members were not allowed to take pictures of each other, so when they met again after a whole summer vacation, they just exchanged a few words and continued to sit down and wait for others.

Du Baigong came neither early nor late, just in time, and to Hou Xiao's surprise, he seemed to be very familiar with other people and chatted very smoothly.Hou Xiao borrowed a cigarette from someone around him, but before he could light it, the cigarette dropped into Du Baigong's hand.

Hou Xiao looked at him in a daze, frowning slightly, but not annoyed.Sitting next to him, Du Baigong broke the cigarette in half and threw it into the trash can without any mistakes, then turned his head and flicked his forehead: "Why did you learn to smoke?"

"It's just this one, you throw it back to me." Hou Xiao's tone sounded a little aggrieved, "If I had known it earlier, I would have told them not to call you here."

"Don't let me come just because of a cigarette?" Du Baigong laughed, "Okay, I will take you to eat later to make up for you."

After Hou Xiao realized that his tone just now was too wrong, Du Baigong got up and went to chat with Bai Song.He lowered his head, squeezed himself out in his heart, took his things and got into the car with them.

There are two cars rented by Bai Song. Hou Xiao and Du Baigong are both in the second car. For some unknown reason, the first car is full of people, but the second car has an extra seat. This arrangement is a bit strange.

Hou Xiao lowered his head and flipped through his phone, looking for a small game to pass the time. Before his fingertips touched the screen, Du Baigong who was beside him suddenly raised the camera naturally and pressed the shutter on him.

Hou Xiao: "It is not allowed to take pictures of each other in the club."

"I'm not from your agency." Du Baigong adjusted the settings, "So it's no problem for me to shoot you."

There was nothing wrong with Du Baigong's explanation at first glance, but it was not quite right when he thought about it carefully, but after all, he couldn't find any major problems, so Hou Xiao had no choice but to let him keep the photo.

Du Baigong laughed twice, leaned against the car window to save the photo, and looked at Hou Xiao with the faint light, always felt that Hou Xiao was shrouded in a shadow, as if he was not as energetic as before. Although he can still make jokes that should be made, and he doesn't blush when he tells nonsense, but it always makes him feel that this person's heart has changed.

In fact, when he just left, he really didn't think of writing a letter to Hou Xiao. Du Chengli was still there to say hello to the teacher, so he just went to deal with other things with his relatives. When he remembered, Du Chengli had already said hello. Not to mention locking all his communication equipment in a drawer, he threw him directly into the boarding experimental school.

The new school is many times more formal than the one in Haigang. The teachers are veterans who have taught for decades, and they all put on a straight face every day, as if the students collectively owed them 800 million, wishing they could spend 24 hours Split into eight pieces.No matter how good Du Baigong was, he didn't dare to make trouble under Du Chengli's nose, and he became an obedient student from then on.

It was not until the end of the college entrance examination that those electronic products were able to see the light of day again.Du Baigong didn't even dare to turn on the phone, for fear of seeing text messages from former classmates, he changed his account directly and saved the contact information of the classmates in the new class, and by chance, he met a classmate who could take pictures, and studied for a summer vacation , can be regarded as knowing some skills.

Even he can't tell how he, a person who has a 3-minute enthusiasm for everything, has persisted in photography until now, and he also regards this half-way entertainment as a long-term hobby.

"Baigong, the place to go first is Riddle Hualin. Do you want to wear a mask?" Lin Yuanliu turned around, and saw Du Baigong put a finger to his mouth, and made a gesture at him. Made a silent movement.

He glanced at Hou Xiao who fell asleep at some point, and said in a low voice, "Or if you tell them, you can just pat the outside and let them go inside?"

"No, it's just a flower forest, it's not that serious."

"I think you just don't have any self-knowledge." Lin Yuanliu muttered and turned back, "Forget it, if you think it's okay, it's okay."

Hou Xiao didn't wake up until halfway. He actually didn't snooze, and he could sleep enough in a few hours, but now he didn't know what happened, his body was still awake, and he could even hear the conversation between these two people clearly. However, the content and consciousness have already been involved in the vast sea and disappeared without a trace.

When he arrived at the destination, before Du Baigong had time to call him, Hou Xiao immediately opened his eyes on time as if he had set an alarm clock in advance, and sat up straight.

Faced with this series of actions that were like a corpse, Du Baigong looked at him with some amusement, and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Are you awake?"

"...waking up." Hou Xiao looked at the shallow scar on his palm, his eyes seemed to be scalded.He stretched out his hand suddenly and grabbed Du Baigong's wrist, both of them were taken aback.

"When did this happen."
