At sunset, the mountains are far away

Tao Yan, who really felt that he was redundant, also followed Police Officer Du out of the cubicle. Xia Chengqi looked at Tao Yan's leaving back with some confusion, stared blankly at the air, and then returned to normal.Xia Chengqi got up and took out the SLR camera from his backpack, and began to fiddle with it.

"What photos are there? Show me." Su Qingmo broke the silence in the cubicle at the right time.

Xia Chengqi, who was already sitting on the lower bunk of Tao Yan's bed, got up and went back to Su Qingmo's bed. The two of them put their heads together, and began to talk casually about some photos Xia Chengqi took after he arrived in Qinghai.Only now did Xia Chengqi know that Su Qingmo was born and bred in Qinghai, and because he was a reporter, he knew Qinghai well, and he talked about the style and style of which area. The more they chatted, the more they talked. The more speculative.

After Tao Yan strolled around outside, before he got to the bed cubicle, he heard the lively conversation coming from inside, Xia Chengqi's exclamation and excited voice came from time to time, she was surprised that she never knew Xia Chengqi Up to now, it seems that I have never heard Xia Chengqi's voice full of tone and tone. In Tao Yan's impression, Xia Chengqi's speech is always calm and breezy, as if he is either full of ambition or indifferent to everything, with a serious face. The expression on the face is always calm, at most it is just a faint smile.

At this time, Officer Du, who had been wandering around, also happened to come back, so Tao Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and break into the cubicle that made her feel uncomfortable.The two people who were chatting excitedly were obviously disturbed, and their voices gradually lowered until they were silent.The hot-tempered Police Officer Du couldn't bear the suffocating silence, so he deliberately tried to adjust the atmosphere with a somewhat artificial cheerful tone, "How about we play cards? Do you know how to fight the landlord?" After finishing speaking, look at this and look at that , full of anticipation.It's just that the three beauties just looked up at him lightly, without replying.Officer Du stood up and laughed dryly, "Well, there are card players over there, I'll go over and have a look, you guys talk." After speaking, he touched his forehead as if sweating, and escaped from the silent cubicle .

Xia Chengqi looked back at Officer Du's leaving figure, and moved his eyes to Tao Yan's face. Tao Yan felt that Xia Chengqi was looking at him, but she deliberately turned her head so as not to meet his gaze.Su Qingmo got up at this moment, intentionally creating a space for the two of them to be alone, "I'll go out for a while."

Xia Chengqi looked at Tao Yan silently for a while, but didn't know how to speak, and was enveloped in silence for a while.Tao Yan met Shang Xia Chengqi's eyes, but his eyes were a little cold, "Do you have nothing to say?"

"I don't know what to say." Xia Chengqi said the truth, with a helpless tone.

Tao Yan sneered, with sarcasm in his eyes, "You have nothing to say to me, right?" After speaking, he got up and walked out of the cubicle without looking back.Xia Chengqi sat blankly on the edge of the bed, leaned over on the table between the beds on both sides, looked out of the window, the outside of the window was dark, and occasionally there were sporadic light spots emitting a chilly light in the dark night.Xia Chengqi found that she had never really had a good friend-like chat with Tao Yan about anything, and a wry smile unconsciously hung on the corner of her mouth.The hands on the table were getting colder, Xia Chengqi rubbed his hands, looked around the cubicle where he was alone, stood up and went out for a walk.

Someone in the smoking area was puffing out clouds of smoke, and the smoke circle expanded and floated, which could not disperse for a long time on the airtight train.The light was a bit dim, and Xia Chengqi identified Su Qingmo with the flickering light spots through his figure and silhouette.Xia Chengqi walked over, leaning sideways against the wall, looking out of the dark window, side by side with Su Qingmo, looking out of the window, like travelers who meet by chance but don't know each other on a journey.After a while, Su Qingmo touched Xia Chengqi, and handed Xia Chengqi a cigarette. Xia Chengqi hesitated a little, and took it.Under the dim light, the two light spots turned on and off, and the sound of playing cards was heard not far away.

Xia Chengqi turned to look at Su Qingmo with a smile on his face, "I think of a line of poetry, two people drink mountain flowers blooming, cup after cup." As soon as the words fell, Su Qingmo took the words and said, "Our Yes, the two of them walked the mountain road, one after another." After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other tacitly and laughed lightly, as if they had known each other for many years.

"Xia Chengqi, since the two of us are so in tune, after the internship expires, do you want to consider renewing the contract with our newspaper? I can help you negotiate with the company about the salary." Su Qingmo had a smile on her face, her eyes piercing With sincerity, she seemed to like this simple and slightly deep kid in front of her more and more.

Xia Chengqi heard Su Qingmo's sincerity to stay, and pondered for a while, "You can still think about it, after all, I still like my current job very much." After speaking, he took a deep breath, and the smile on his face enlarged, showing himself The love of life in Qinghai at present.

"However, do you still have concerns?" Although Su Qingmo's tone was inquiring, her eyes were full of conviction.In the past few years, she has been in the society for many years, and has met many people of all kinds. Su Qingmo's ability to observe words and expressions has long been practiced like a fire.

Before Xia Chengqi could answer, Officer Du's voice came, "Miss Tao, why are you standing here?" Su Qingmo and Xia Chengqi leaned out from the corner of the smoking area at the same time, and saw the unknown Tao Yan, who had been standing in the aisle for a long time, met Xia Chengqi's gaze, took a deep look, and acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He turned sideways and walked past the two of them. The shoulders that were lightly rubbed, but for some reason there was a stinging pain in the chest.

In the middle of the night, the three of them tossed and turned on their respective beds to the sound of Police Officer Du's snoring that resounded through the sky.

After the four got off the train, they hurriedly got on an old bus and set off for a local small town.Xia Chengqi and Tao Yan didn't sleep well because of Officer Du's constant snoring last night, and they still fell asleep peacefully despite the bumping of the bus and the noise inside the car. Only Su Qingmo kept her eyes open, staring out of the window intently, I don't know what I'm thinking.When Xia Chengqi woke up, Tao Yan was still sleeping, with her head resting on her shoulder, her slightly disheveled hair scattered on her fair face, she stretched out her hand and clasped Tao Yan's hand on her lap, and then He stretched out his other hand to brush the hair off Tao Yan's face, held Tao Yan's face slightly, and placed a light kiss on his black hair.Tao Yan's eyelashes fluttered, and he leaned his head towards Xia Chengqi's neck, finally showing a smile on his face.

Xia Chengqi noticed that Su Qingmo in the front row was looking out of the window without moving his head, but suddenly raised his hand to wipe his face and sniffed.Although she couldn't see it, there were indeed two lines of tears rolling down Su Qingmo's face.

After sitting on the bus for about an hour, the four of them came to the police station in the town to find out about the situation at Dongdong's house.After Dongdong's parents were trafficked, they gave birth to two more children, a son and a daughter.Su Qingmo and Xia Chengqi looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for Yu Dongdong, since there were already two brothers and sisters in the family, did their parents expect their Dongdong to be found as much as before? go back.

The local police station sent two more policemen who were familiar with the road, and Xia Chengqi and his party drove to Dongdong's home.Tao Yan seemed a little quiet along the way, always falling asleep drowsily, but Xia Chengqi was in good spirits, enjoying the bleak and desolate scenery passing by outside the window with ease.Since it was not safe to travel in the dark, the group stayed at a post station on the side of the road and waited to set off again tomorrow morning.At the dinner table, the three policemen and the owner of the inn were chatting in the local dialect. Xia Chengqi could only understand roughly, and Su Qingmo would explain a few sentences from time to time.Tao Yan didn't eat much for dinner, so he went back to his room to rest. Xia Chengqi thought that the food was not to his liking, so he didn't pay much attention, and continued to listen attentively, writing down something in his notebook from time to time.

Since they had to drive tomorrow, the three policemen went to bed early to rest. After Xia Chengqi finished sorting out the notes in his notebook, he looked around and saw Su Qingmo's tall body leaning against the door alone, puffing. Su Qingmo was wiping tears in the car.

Xia Chengqi crossed his arms and held a long object in his hand. He stood leaning against the door, and looked sideways at the preoccupied Su Qingmo carefully.

"What?" Su Qingmo who felt Xia Chengqi's gaze turned her face away.

Xia Chengqi didn't answer, but picked up the flute in his hand, and used the sound of the flute to tell the sad past for her in this vast dark night.The desolate and lonely voice was swallowed by the night, but it caused Su Qingmo's inner defenses to collapse little by little, and the tears still fell stubbornly after all.

"I also traveled thousands of miles just to find my biological parents, but I was not as lucky as Dongdong." Su Qingmo's tears were intertwined, her eyes turned into the darkness, as if she was muttering to herself.

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the thick night was still as deep as the sea.It turns out that Su Qingmo is also an orphan, no wonder...

Su Qingmo returned to normal, turned her face and said seriously, "What? Do you want to take pity on me?"

Xia Chengqi smiled wryly, surprised at the speed at which the person in front of him changed his face, "I don't want to provoke a hypocritical person like you. However, sometimes showing weakness can be as bad as imagined." Xia Chengqi cast a deep look, Su Qingmo looked back in a daze, as if recalling the last sentence.

Xia Chengqi turned around and prepared to go back to the room to rest, but Su Qingmo stretched out her hand to touch her head, "You're a big kid. It's time to go to bed." As he spoke, he grabbed Xia Chengqi's shoulder and was about to take a step forward.Xia Chengqi seemed to stand still, without any response from his feet, and stared forward in a daze. Su Qingmo followed Xia Chengqi's gaze and saw Tao Yan who was holding on to the door frame.Tao Yan slipped from the door frame little by little and fell to the ground, unconscious. The two of them rushed up at one stride.
