Sad autumn

The window was plugged and the money went out, saying: "Do you want to be an honorary alumnus? I'll transfer some money to you, and you call Lao He's uncle and say, Teacher Gu, I, Li Lanxiu, have a great influence on the cultivation of the Academy of Fine Arts. The teacher is grateful and tears, I want to build a building for the Academy of Fine Arts, see if he will call you an honorary alumnus right away."

Li Lanxiu said: "That's good, then you can transfer 'this' money to me right now, I really want to make a name in the Academy of Fine Arts, unlike Young Master Qiu who regards fame as dung."

After driving out of the toll booth and closing the window, Qiu Mingchuan said, "It's not easy to leave a name. You don't need any money. Take a brush and go to the gate to write something. Li Lanxiu is here for a visit."

Li Lanxiu said: "You are short of money recently. Your dad has suspended your card? Why do you have no confidence when it comes to money? It's not like the little enemy I know who is full of money."

Qiu Mingchuan reached out to pat Li Lanxiu, but Li Lanxiu nimbly avoided it, compared his eyes with Tuchun, and asked him, "What do you think he is learning? Look at his hands."

Qiu Mingchuan's unsuccessful right hand drew an arc in the air, fell back on the steering wheel, and was in close contact with his left hand for a moment, and then placed on both sides of the steering wheel, basking in the sun.His fingers are slender, light-white, with blood vessels showing under the skin. When the fingers are closed together, they look like a handful of orchids carved from jade, which is very decorative.

Tuchun said, "Piano?"

"We are the Academy of Fine Arts, not the Academy of Music!"

"The painter..."

Li Lanxiu said loudly: "Sculpture! The ten fingers are extremely flexible."

Qiu Mingchuan said with a smirk, "My hands are quite nimble."

Li Lanxiu tossed her hair: "Okay, what are you talking about?"

Tu Chun smiled, looked at Li Lanxiu and said, "You didn't study sculpture, did you? You called him Senior Brother, I thought you were from the same department."

Li Lanxiu said loudly: "How is it possible? No one is in the same department as Qiu Mingchuan. I didn't make it clear to you just now. He studies sculpture, but his sculpture needs to be subdivided. He is in the cynical class of the sculpture department. He is in the same class. Firstly, he drinks ink and paint for generations. Second, he goes in and out of the auction house at least two or three times. Dad's paintings are hung in the metropolis, and mom's photo albums are best-selling all over the world. Uncle..."

"Five hundred ducks can take a rest. I said, why does the car smell like a duck factory?" Qiu Mingchuan interrupted her, and Li Lanxiu said relentlessly, "Oh, you also know what a duck factory is. Taste? I thought you only ate eight-treasure duck and Fuli duck. Your mother never told you that ducks are made from trees and have no smell. Hey, did you eat golden duck or silver duck? ah?"

Qiu Mingchuan laughed, and said in a hoarse voice, "I have no experience. I grew up eating gold spoons and silver spoons."

The topic still came back to eating, Li Lanxiu asked curiously: "Ge, where are you going to take us after you kidnapped us?"

Qiu Mingchuan kept his secrets, just didn't say anything, when the car drove into Shanghai, he went straight to the Bund, passing a few chic bungalows.Li Lanxiu said: "If the food served here is not to your liking, are you going to kidnap us and go to Guangzhou?"

Qiu Mingchuan said: "Going to Guangzhou is no problem, the main reason is that you talk so much. When you get on the plane, the stewardess will come and ask me, sir, these [-] ducks can't take the passenger cabin, they have to go to the cargo hold, what do you think? Do it?"

Li Lanxiu bared her teeth at Qiu Mingchuan like a hungry wolf, but she stopped and yawned. She and Qiu Mingchuan chattered all the way, and they were dry mouthed and quite tired. She sat quietly in the car, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.

Qiu Mingchuan later took Li Lanxiu and Tuchun to a Cantonese restaurant in an old house. Li Lanxiu came here for the first time, and everything was fresh. After Qiu Mingchuan ordered, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the meals posted by others on review sites. Commented, teasingly said: "Following Brother Qiu is really a treat, Michelin star recommends to eat whatever you want."

Qiu Mingchuan poured tea for Tuchun and Li Lanxiu, and said, "Are you looking for movies to watch according to the IMDB top 250 list?"

Li Lanxiu put down her mobile phone, propped her chin, and said in a strange way: "After all, I have been abroad, so foreign, and still IMDB, I will only use Douban, look at Douban 250."

Tuchun laughed, Qiu Mingchuan laughed too, Li Lanxiu covered her mouth a little, did not look at them, her eyes rolled around, tensed for a while, and then she laughed too.

The three of them had a big meal, and the morning tea turned into afternoon tea. They came out of the restaurant and stopped by to buy some pastries. They officially left for Suzhou at 04:30 in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, they encountered a high-speed traffic jam, and it was almost six o'clock. Unable to leave Shanghai, Li Lanxiu repeatedly complained: "What the hell is it over! I really can't hand in the manuscript tomorrow, can I get home before dark?"

Qiu Mingchuan said, "Suzhou is the nearest place. Is there any good place for supper?"

Li Lanxiu convinced him: "I want to eat the next meal after the last meal! No, it's impossible to drive for so long, right? We can reach Suzhou at seven or eight o'clock, right?"

Qiu Mingchuan said: "It's better than eating the last meal and not having the next meal."

Seeing that the toll booth was approaching, Tuchun lowered his head to pay, and said, "Let me pay the toll."

Li Lanxiu nodded and echoed, "Yes, AA is popular in blind dates now, just now Xiaoqiu Angsong (hardly) refused to take your money, such a high-end restaurant, I'm too embarrassed to talk about it, you want to mean it now Interesting, it’s up to him whether he accepts it or not.”

Tuchun's eyebrows were tangled, and he looked at Li Lanxiu angrily and amusedly. He caught a glimpse of Qiu Mingchuan looking at him from the mirror, scratched his cheek twice, and said, "It's the first time I know that ducks are so spiritual. Talking nonsense."

Qiu Mingchuan laughed, Li Lanxiu pinched Tuchun's arm, Tuchun gave way to her, pushed her, and said, "Don't move around, you dropped something, I'll pick it up for you."

Li Lanxiu grabbed the bag and went in to dig it. For some reason, Tuchun felt something from the ground, pinched it with two fingers and handed it to her, saying, "Here, your matchmaker's mole."

At this moment, Qiu Mingchuan whistled happily, leaned forward and back together, so unhappy, Li Lanxiu made a gesture to make a move, but she just bit her lip and stared at her eyes. She was smiling, and finally didn't make a move, and hugged her arms tightly. Leaning to the door on the other side, he closed his eyes and ignored everyone.The car instantly became quiet, except for the slight hum of the air conditioner.Tuchun took out his mobile phone and looked at it intently.In Suzuki's notebook, he still has about ten pages left untranslated. He suffered from being unable to express some words and sentences accurately, so he took photos of them, and took them out from time to time to look at them and think about them.

On the way, Qiu Mingchuan took a rest in the Qiandeng service area, Tuchun changed to the front row, Qiu Mingchuan found a coat from the trunk, folded it into a pillow and stuffed it under Li Lanxiu's neck, she lay in the back row alone , with her legs curled up on the seat, she fell into a deep sleep.Tuchun lit a cigarette, Qiu Mingchuan didn't smoke, he drank Coke, and when Tuchun finished eating the cigarette, they returned to the car.

Just as I closed and opened the door, looked up, half a can of Coke, and a cigarette, it was completely dark.

Qiu Mingchuan said, "You can think about what to have for dinner."

Tuchun looked at the time and called Jasmine. After a while, he answered the phone. He spoke softly, "Mom, you should eat dinner first. I think it will be late."

Jasmine said: "I'll wait." (I'll wait for you.)

Tuchun said, "I guess it's better to be in the house after eight o'clock."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Tuchun nodded, and said: "If you are hungry, eat first, or you will be too hungry." (If you are hungry, eat first, don't be too hungry.)

Jasmine said softly: "Understood, I'll eat a bowl of soup first, and I'll make a big bone soup." (Understood, I'll eat a bowl of soup first, and stew a bone soup.)

After the phone call, Qiu Mingchuan and Tuchun said, "I'm sorry, you can't go home for dinner because of it. I didn't expect the road to be so congested."

Tuchun said: "My mother said she waited for me to go back to eat."

Qiu Mingchuan said: "Oh, that's pretty good." He asked again, "Does your mother cook by herself?"

Tuchun reacted for a while before nodding and saying yes. He looked at Qiu Mingchuan, and he saw his beautiful hands again. Isolated, they are very suitable to be placed in the window, placed under the spotlight, bathed by all kinds of eyes, and admired with great interest.

Tuchun suddenly said: "Why don't you go to my house for dinner together?"

Qiu Mingchuan froze, his expression froze for a moment.Tuchun laughed lightly and said, "It seems strange to mention this suddenly, forget it, just pretend I haven't mentioned it."

Qiu Mingchuan smiled and didn't answer. He changed lanes at the next exit and got off the highway.After driving for about ten minutes, they were the only car left on the road. The surrounding area was surrounded by farmhouses, with no street signs, and gradually, the street lights disappeared.Qiu Mingchuan drove the car from the asphalt road to the dirt land, and then into a wasteland full of gravel. After a bumpy ten minutes, he stopped the car, turned off the engine, got out of the car, and called Tu Chun to get out of the car as well. .

Tuchun was a little hesitant. It was dark outside the car, and there were fields on both sides. The lights were hard to find, and the stars and the moon were dark.

The wind rustled the rice stalks like rain.

Qiu Mingchuan and Tuchun said: "Stop here, wait for her to wake up, scare her to death! Haha." He slammed the car door: "Let's go!"

Tuchun said: "This is..."

Qiu Mingchuan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking at Tuchun with bright eyes: "Which family's rice field, let's go, I will take you to a place to watch the train."

Tuchun got out of the car.

He walked behind Qiu Mingchuan, and they passed a long and thin field ridge that would accommodate a person's two feet, passed several grave mounds, walked through the forest with rustling leaves, and finally came to a low soil slope.Qiu Mingchuan climbed up, and then, he became short and disappeared.Tuchun quickly followed up to check. He saw a railroad track in front of him. Qiu Mingchuan ran onto the railroad track and was stepping on the track with his arms outstretched, looking for balance crookedly. He saw Tuchun and waved to him. , said: "Abandoned, no train will come."

There was still no light above their heads, and occasionally two star-like drilling spots flickered a few times, and the next second, they began to climb up—that was an airplane, not a starlight.

Tuchun slid down the dirt slope, and he walked on the side of the railroad track, beside Qiu Mingchuan.Qiu Mingchuan had already walked very steadily. He put one hand in his trouser pocket, leaving only his right hand to grope in the air from time to time.He asked Tuchun, "You've been looking at your phone and reading novels all the way?"

Tuchun lowered his head, walked slowly, and spoke slowly, slowly, he said: "Oh, no, it's something in Japanese, I want to translate it." After a moment of silence, his With a low voice, he said, "The person who wrote those things committed suicide a while ago."

Qiu Mingchuan asked, "Are you an interpreter?"

Tuchun said: "No, I am an auxiliary police officer. A Japanese came to our area before, and I was in charge of reception."

The night was quiet, and the cicadas sounded faintly, but Tuchun clenched his fists and stopped.

Qiu Mingchuan jumped onto the sleeper, walked forward with big strides, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, people can't even choose whether they want to be born or not, you don't even have the right to die how they want." Want to take it away? It’s so boring to not even have this little freedom.”

Tuchun looked up at him, Qiu Mingchuan was looking into the distance, he pointed, Tuchun looked out, a ball of yellow light fell in front of his eyes, and then there was a sharp whistle, and a train was driving towards them come over.

Tuchun shouted: "Didn't you say it was abandoned?"

He hastened to move further away from the tracks.Qiu Mingchuan didn't move, he stood in the middle of the railroad tracks and stared at the train with a big laugh, he even opened his arms and cheered.Tuchun broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted at him: "You don't want to die??"

He wanted to pull him, but he couldn't reach them. The train was very close to them. The corners of Tuchun's eyes were filled with white light. The ground was trembling, the grass was overwhelmed by the wind, and the stones were bouncing away one by one.Tuchun gritted his teeth, ran to the railroad track, grabbed Qiu Mingchuan, turned around and ran, the train almost passed by their bodies, and the two fell to the ground, Tuchun was still in shock, his breath was filled with hot wind, There was the smell of aquatic products, grain and coal. He sat on the ground panting, his head full of rumbling noises.

He and Di Qiu also went to see the train, but Di Qiu was less courageous than him, standing farther from the track, with a more nervous and flustered expression.As the train came, he covered his ears, and the train drove away. He smiled and followed up two steps, picked a purple wild flower beside the railroad track, twirled it between his fingers, and walked forward, towards the entrance of a tunnel.

Di Qiu was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

The rust-colored rails still trembled.

Solo Solo, Solo, Solo, Solo Solo, the sound of Di Qiu's footsteps can be heard everywhere.

It was dark in front of my eyes, and it was bright again. The leaves were shaking in the sun, and they were full of greenery.Then, it was dark again.

This is not the memory of Di Qiu and him being together, but the beginning of a movie.Tuchun got up, wiped his hands and face.

Qiu Mingchuan's laughter spread in the wind.He also stood up, ran after the train, and said loudly: "I'll take you home later! I'll go to your house for dinner next time!"
