river bank, river bank

At eleven o'clock at night, the darkness is boundless.

The lights in the distant city form the horizon, converging into an elongated stream of bright light for a moment.When approaching, there were runway lights, scattered light blue lights all over the place.

Like traveling through the Milky Way, the universe is full of small stars.

Bai San sat at the porthole, looked away when he took off, huddled in the blanket and grabbed the edge with his fingertips, stuck out half of his small head, and secretly raised the corner of his mouth to look at the river bank in his peripheral vision.

The noise brought by the engine is not loud, and it rings in the ears at a frequency that cannot be ignored but is just right, smooth and continuous.

Jiang An closed his eyes, his brows were clear, his face was expressionless, his breathing was very soft, and he looked like he was deeply asleep.The flight attendant walked lightly when passing by, and still deliberately lowered the volume a few meters away, the red lips moved slightly, but there was no sound.

Only Bai San knew that Jiang An, an insomniac, was still awake and didn't fall asleep so easily, and he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

"Can I recite vocabulary for a while?" He asked in a low voice, and slowly took out the pocket book, but his head was small, and his shoulders moved to the side without leaving a trace, getting closer.

Jiang An opened his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and turned on the reading light for him.

The light swung down for a moment, and fell between the slender fingers of the river bank, folding a few light vertical shadows, and like the tide receding, a layer of warm color like honey was stacked on the book.

Therefore, there is a sweetness between the lines.

He memorized those complicated and difficult words, and the translation of just two words had to be translated five or six times on the tip of the tongue, which was particularly awkward.

But when I read it, the language feels very slow and difficult, like the old-fashioned beams in the Forbidden City that were slightly rotted thousands of years ago, with a calming power.

He turned his head awkwardly, and suddenly saw Jiang An's back straightened until he leaned back in the chair comfortably, and his shoulders were loose, but it took only 5 minutes.

Later, he repeatedly thought of the scene he saw at a glance for many nights, and English became his proudest achievement.

The voyage is still long, and the pocket book is just those words over and over again, which is too boring.

Bai San raised his hand, and cautiously waved it in front of Jiang An.

Asleep and unresponsive.

He turned around carefully, tilted his neck, slowly moved his head over, and leaned down on the corner of the back of Jiang An's chair. As soon as he finished a word, he immediately continued.

"A long time ago, there were three little pigs who just wanted to build a house. The oldest one was Gugu, the second one was Lulu, and the third one was named Dudu..."

Maybe it's because I slept in early for an afternoon. On this plane heading to Rongcheng, in a dark corner with a small orange light on, Baisan is extraordinarily energetic, which is an experience I have never experienced before.

He searched for the fairy tales he had heard since he was a child, and whispered in Jiang An's ear wrapped in a blanket. Occasionally, when he raised his eyes, he could see Jiang An sleeping peacefully by his side, and the light blueness in his eyes dissipated silently.

From the three little pigs to Little Red Riding Hood, from Little Red Riding Hood to Alice, from Alice to the Princess and the Pea,

He wanted to bring the fairy tale town to Jiang'an's dream.

Halfway through the voyage, Bai San finally told himself that he was tired. Even if he took five hours of sleep in advance, he would still feel sleepy in the middle of the night.

He huddled in the blanket, grabbed Jiang An's clothes again with his fingers, tilted his neck, nodded his head once, then fell asleep inadvertently.

A minute later, Jiang An raised his eyelids, and helped Xiao Tuo, who was nestled next to him, tear off the blanket so that he could breathe fresh air.He softly called the flight attendant to ask for a cup of hot water, put it on the table to cool down, and closed his eyes again to rest his mind.

Arrived at 01:30 in the morning.

Rongcheng is colder than Baisan imagined, and it is deserted.

With eyes full of empty streets and traffic lights flashing, he never thought that he would not be able to get a taxi.The hotel is in the center of the city, half an hour by car, and at least two hours on foot.

Jiang An was not surprised, took him to a hotel near the airport to rest, and waited for dawn to take a taxi to the hotel.

Near nostalgia timid.

Not his hometown, when Bai San breathed the first breath of cold air in Rongcheng, he watched the white breath he exhaled slowly rise and dissipate.But I still think of the night when I had a big meal half a month ago, the wine that burned my throat.

It was the morning of the tide and white mist.

There is a park in front of the hotel, Jiang An asked the driver to send the suitcase there, and get off at the park gate ahead of time, Bai San slowly moved out from the back seat and followed behind.

The last time he went to Jiang An's house for a short stay, he knew that Jiang An had the habit of exercising before going to bed and jogging in the morning, which was not surprising, even though he left the inherent environment and changed to an unfamiliar park.

An old man is an old man.

But he guessed wrong, Jiang An may have been on the plane for a long time, and wanted to get some fresh air to sober up, but he just planned to cross the park and go to the hotel.

At seven o'clock, there is a wave of middle-aged and elderly people who get up early, and the next wave of leisure time for uncles and aunts who take a walk to digest food is about to usher in.

Tall trees, snow, rocks.

And a lake that is artificially heated like in front of Jiang An’s house, pretending to be spending summer in the icy winter.

With his head down, Bai San followed the river bank across the stone bridge, but it was actually just pieces of bluestone slabs that were slightly higher than the water surface.

When he reached the center of the lake, he stopped suddenly, opened his eyes wide, incredulous, and quickly raised his hand to poke Jiang An's back.

"Look, there are fish, there are big ones."

The lake is shallow with a clear bottom. There is a small black fish the size of a palm and a smaller goldfish swimming lazily among the stone slabs.

Jiang An stood on the first two stone slabs, his vision was wrong, he didn't see it, he stepped back, stood beside Bai San, looked at the little fish slowly dangling back and forth, and smiled lightly.

"It should be released soon, no wonder the lake is not frozen."

Afraid of being disturbed, Bai San squatted down cautiously, resting his chin on his arms, watching the little fish swim and swim, only wagging his tail lightly, without moving much.

The little black fish swam forward a little, and the little goldfish followed after chasing its tail.Suddenly found a stone, thought it was a very interesting thing, the little goldfish shook his head, and swam over curiously, the little black fish turned his head, and found the shadow of the fish beside him was far away, twisted suddenly, and stuck to it in a few seconds .

They moved left and right around the stone, and soon lost interest and swam in another direction.

Bai San found out again, poked Jiang An's trousers without raising his head, and whispered, "It's two fish, the little black fish and the little gold fish are a family of fish."

"Is it?"

Jiang An was very interested, "Look again."

The little black fish swam to the left, the little goldfish didn't move, turned around in place, and swam to the right, the distance between the two fish became farther and farther.

Bai San was stunned for a moment, wishing he could stretch out his hand to forcibly turn the silly little goldfish back, but he was afraid of being startled and dared not speak loudly, so he kept muttering in a low voice, with an expression on the verge of tears.

"Go back quickly, don't run around, the little black fish must be very worried now, twist, twist, it's not fun over there, turn around quickly, catch up at full speed, come on, come on..."

Probably because of his grumbling appearance, the little goldfish reminded the little goldfish of Grandma Yu. He shook the fish's butt in disgust, turned his head and found that there was nothing around him, and in a hurry, he shook his head and looked around. His eyes caught the tip of the little black fish's tail. , Swimming over with a grievance.

Bai San immediately patted his chest and let out a breath. Fortunately, he saw Jiang An's lips raised from the corner of his eye. He turned around abruptly and rubbed his shoulders against his hot ear tips.

Isn't it just two small fish, as for what, how old is it.

Immediately afterwards, he realized a very, very serious problem. He squatted on the stone slab and raised his head, "The fish's memory seems to be seven seconds?"

"More than that," Jiang An looked at the mountaintop in the distance, "If you practice skillfully, it can last up to a month."

The premise is to train...

Bai San was wilted, and said in a muffled voice, "One month is too short."

"Even if we are separated, we will always meet in this lake."

"But this lake is so big." Bai San stretched out his arms and drew a big circle in front of his eyes, looking sadly at the river bank.

Hubo stretches as far as the eye can see, and it takes half an hour to walk all the way around the lake. If they are separated, how can the little goldfish find the little black fish.

He stood up angrily, pursed his lips, and followed the little goldfish and the little black fish slowly across the stone bridge and along the lake.

At the edge of a rock, the two small fishes that had been sticking together suddenly pulled away again. The little goldfish swam forward without knowing it. The little black fish found a small goldfish with white spots on its head, and leaned over to look curiously. look.

Bai San squatted on the rock, sweating on his forehead in anxiety, he carefully trained the little goldfish.

"You are amazing, don't you say hello to your brothers and sisters? You are still a little goldfish. I will call you a big goldfish in the future. I can tell you that a fish like you will not have small snacks." food……"

It's a pity that the little goldfish has learned to go in the left ear and out the right ear, and is still swimming forward happily.

Bai San was a little bit disappointed, obviously they were still stuck together just now, after walking so far.

Just then, there was a "plop".

Jiang An threw a small stone and accurately hit the little black fish on the head. The little black fish and the spotted goldfish quickly separated, found the little goldfish that had gone far away, and tried to catch up.

The little goldfish and the little black fish were slouching together stickily and inseparably.

Bai San felt that Yusheng was very difficult.

He jumped off the rock and jumped on another rock, trying to make friends with the little goldfish and little black fish.

"Is this your daily life? Do you go around the stone slab and the lake every day? Have you eaten? Is there anything delicious in the lake? Can you eat enough every day? Will there be nutritional imbalance? Will it be Being bullied by other big guys..."

The little goldfish and the little black fish were still swimming slowly, but Bai San became more and more excited as he talked. He suddenly thought of a good idea. Jiang An was always walking by his side, unhurried and within reach.

He quickly jumped off the rocks, shook the hem of Jiang An's clothes, his eyes were full of longing, "Can I buy two beautiful big goldfish and put them in, and exchange for the weak and helpless Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei?"

"No." Jiang An gave the answer without hesitation.

Bai San frowned instantly, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and failed to load his smile.

"I can buy a few after I go back. I can't take it on the plane. It's feasible to check it in, but the chance of survival is very small."

Bai San let out a muffled oh, the other goldfish are not Xiaojin Xiaohei, if they can't, then they can't.

He watched the little goldfish and the little black fish swim stickily for half a circle, and every time there was a sign of separation, they would lean up against each other and grind. In the end, they swam towards the center of the lake, and their figures gradually disappeared from sight. He just turned around, followed Jiang An back to the hotel with his head down.

Jiang An is very busy.

After arriving at the hotel, Jiang An boarded the notebook provided by the hotel and sent an email. In the next hour, he received nearly [-] calls, and there were still important calls coming in one after another. Bai San didn't know until he was making a decision.

He changed into black clothes, left a note saying he was going to see Lin Guangyin's family, and left.

There are two days until the funeral.

'Take the No. 61 bus and get off at the stop in front of the department store. The innermost alley across the street is my house.I didn’t understand it when I was young, my house doesn’t sell alcohol, so I need to live in such a deep alley...’

This is what Lin Guangyin said. When Bai San was sitting on the No. 61 bus, looking at the flashing and continuous street scene outside the window, he suddenly remembered it.

Regarding Lin Guangyin's departure, he thought he was very calm.

They will always die, but they come first, first served, and even during a sleepless night, he once thought that he would walk ahead of Lin Guangyin.

There is an open space behind the parents, which is facing the mountains. Every summer, the trees are lush and green, there are cicadas singing, birds singing, and early morning fog with moisture.

Maybe he lost hope and sold the dagger, so he was buried in that open space and passed a hundred years in peace.

Death is a very light word, even death is only a moment, and he didn't know at that time that what was left to the living was a memory that ended abruptly.

In the next few years, an inadvertent moment will appear in front of you, a road, a similar face, a song, a small habit, an old thing, or a happy event in life, and think about the people around you.

These small events are like small stone steps one after another, always falling down, always climbing up, and then repeating the process.

In this numbness that was close to loss of perception, he had just noticed the folds in his heart, and he fell in front of a small stone step and was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and he still had to go through a lot.

Before arriving at Lin Guangyin's house, Bai San went to the bank first, took out the money, and gave silk money in advance.He was on the phone when he entered the password, and asked Lin Guangxuan if it was convenient to go now, and then raised his eyes and was stunned.

"Of course it's convenient, can you find it? Do you want me to pick you up at the alley—Brother San?"

【Account Balance 50000.00】

Bai San can still remember the scene of that day, he hesitated and stretched out three fingertips, Jiang An's fingers brushed his hair roots and responded in a low voice.

When he is lost in the black forest and the surroundings are dark, he can always meet people coming through the thick fog. He is obsessed with the torch, which is the direction of light.

"Brother San, can you hear it?" Lin Guangxuan asked with a slightly raised voice.

Bai San responded with a hoarse voice, hung up the phone, took out the bank card, stared at it for a long time, and finally put it into the wallet carefully.

He opened the door and walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, fearing that it would be unsafe, he stopped on the side of the road and took out his bank card, thought about it, and hid it in the middle of the backpack.

After crossing the intersection, he suddenly wanted to take a look, and took out his bank card with difficulty, and held it tightly in his hand.

Two years later, even if Baisan's bank card already had a balance of a hundred times, he would just throw it in the drawer and throw it away.I will never forget that look that afternoon.

Lin Guangyin's funeral was held as scheduled, and it was very decent. Bai San prepared a wreath, offered three sticks of incense, bowed three times, without losing emotion, and when Lin Guangxuan burst into tears, he sent tissues to caress her back and comfort her .

When he was leaving, Lin Guangyin's mother handed him a big cardboard box, which was filled with homemade food, seven or eight glass jars piled together, sweet onion, sweet and sour garlic, chestnut cake, amber candy... It's what he likes to eat, but it's too much for the suitcase to fit.

Bai San's eyes were bent, and he looked into the cardboard box, "Auntie, I'll just take two cans, I can't finish this much, leave it to Guangxuan."

"Bring them all, and eat slowly." Lin Guangyin's mother paused, her voice trembling slightly, "These are all ready to be sent to you when Guangyin is here."

Bai San was silent, he bowed deeply, and took the cardboard box with both hands.

There are seven neat glass jars, so full that the sugar juice can overflow after the lid is unscrewed.

The eighth glass jar is still [-]% full.

After the funeral, we are about to return.

On the morning of the first day, Jiang An brought back a laptop and was busy with the video conference.Bai San also only knocked on the door on the first day to surf the fast net, and then went to Lin Guangyin's tomb alone for a long time. When he came back, he stayed in his room and grew mushrooms, waiting to return to Beicheng tomorrow.

Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall asleep again.

He logged into the forum account and met a newcomer who had just been in contact with the battlefield. He was full of fanaticism for the battlefield and the pursuit of the account sun, and he was willing to swear to God.

Said that after receiving the dagger, there will never be a second weapon, and the dagger will never be dusted, and he will go all out to bring his dagger to shine in the next Rising Star Game.

Bai San didn't reply at that time, and the conversation that was originally one sentence after another was suddenly disconnected.He couldn't help leaning back, sinking into the cushion, staring blankly at the lamp beside him.

Wait for the sudden rise of emotional cooling, only 5 minutes.

He picked up the phone again, clicked on the dialog box, and replied to the screen full of question marks from the newcomer.

-Excuse me, I just had something to do.

In the end, he settled the price with the newcomer at [-] yuan, and agreed to hand out the dagger after returning to Beicheng.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the distant sky gradually became clear, Bai San turned off the lights in the middle of the night, doing nothing, checked the suitcase again, and zipped it up. At this moment, he heard a knock on the door.

Jiang An changed his clothes, with a faint smell of aftershave.

"Before departure, do you want to have breakfast first?"

Bai San didn't have much appetite, but he nodded, and obediently followed Jiang An out of the hotel, his mind was still groggy after only sleeping for three hours.

So much so that, in the noodle shop, he poked his head out from behind Jiang An and saw the ramen chef in the kitchen, with his forehead resting on Jiang An's back, he suddenly talked about elementary school in disappointment.

At that time, there was a small noodle shop that the family often went to, and he and Lin Guangyin would settle their lunch there.

The store manager is an old man. Every time they go, they will add ingredients, sometimes beef slices, sometimes dried tofu.

Later, their studies were heavy, and they were studying and studying every day, so they gradually went less frequently.The last time I went there was when I was graduating from junior high school, my grandfather said that I might not be able to continue doing it in the future.

I don't know how it is now.

Jiang An turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "Go back and have a look today."

"Leaving in the morning?" Bai San asked.

He didn't like to push the cold dish very much, how could there be such a strange dish, picked up the chopsticks and only picked up a bean sprout, chewing bit by bit.

Anyway, Jiang An can always get a ticket, and the originally booked flight probably won't be able to vacate a double seat.

Jiang An murmured, "Let's go in the afternoon, leave at two o'clock."

"Oh." Just to catch up on sleep.

Baisan picked up a piece of noodles, chewed carefully to pass the time, poured down half of the bowl, and after biting half of the ribs, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and asked Jiang An in a low voice.

"I ordered egg noodles with tomatoes. How could there be ribs? The boss couldn't have made a mistake, right?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the small ticket on the side of the table and nodded, yes, it was egg noodles with tomatoes.He picked up a chopstick of tomato and a piece of egg, and nodded again, it was a tomato and an egg.

Jiang An propped his chin and laughed, "Remember to thank the store manager later."

Bai San responded blankly, puffing his cheeks, looking at the tomato egg noodles at the table next to him, and then at his own deluxe version of tomato egg noodles, instantly remembering what he said when he ordered just now.

He lay down on the table, blinked with Jiang An as if in a signal, and Jiang An nodded.He suddenly found that the noodle shop owner with a thick back and a waist was a very cute person.

Lovely people like to eat gummy bears, so he kept today's strawberry flavored bears on the ticket.

After returning to the hotel to catch up on sleep, it was already five minutes to three in the afternoon, he packed up in a hurry, pushed the suitcase and hugged the cardboard box, and knocked on the door of Jiang'an's room.

Jiang An didn't leave. He just hung up the phone and opened the door to see him, with the usual expression, "No rush."

After leaving the hotel, Bai San didn't know what was going on. Jiang An found a car, and he didn't plan to take the plane for the return trip. He could decide when to leave.

He heaved a sigh of relief and put the suitcase into the trunk. He was still drowsy and couldn't lift his spirits. He just opened the car door and saw a transparent living body box with a cover on the seat.

The box was half full of water, containing a small goldfish and a small black fish.

They stick together foolishly and swim around freely.

The author has something to say:.

I should write a small theater, "The Story of Doctor Jiang Going into the Water to Catch Fish"

en should...
