56. Yang Wanli's poem said: "Mo Yan will have no trouble going down the mountain, and he will make passers-by wrongly like him."

The mountain road of Hengshan is really steep, and the downhill road is not easy to walk, so when the four of them go down the mountain, they spend more time concentrating on walking and less time chatting.

The few conversations were all about asking each other "how are you doing?", maybe they all felt that it was getting late and everyone was walking faster and faster, but the last conversation was to finalize the dinner place.

Liu Yong discussed with Li Zhong, and said to Zhou Ruxin: "The host is as you please, Ruxin, you decide, where to eat?"

Zhou Ruxin thought for a moment: "Are you going to live at the foot of the mountain or go home?"

Liu Yong said: "We came by car, the car is parked in the parking lot of the scenic spot at the gate, and we are free to come and go."

Zhou Ruxin said: "In that case, then, let's go to the restaurant where we live. The boss and his wife cook very well, and it's not far from the entrance of the scenic spot."

Liu Yong and Li Zhong naturally agreed.So Lin Suqing called the boss and asked them to prepare meals for the four of them, and to check the weather, it was getting late, and everyone began to concentrate on their journey.

Because the sky was dark, the four of them didn't seek any shortcuts (because the shortcuts were mostly rough), they kept going down the mountain along the road, occasionally a car passing down the mountain passed by, but none of the four of them bought a ticket, um, let's rely on ourselves.Lin Suqing felt sorry for Zhou Ruxin, and couldn't help muttering: "I knew I should have bought a one-way ticket." Zhou Ruxin took her hand and shook her comfortingly: "The No. 11 bus is also very good. You really climbed Mount Heng."

Liu Yong and Li Zhong smiled at the side: "Ru Xin, you haven't changed at all over the years."

Lin Suqing asked curiously: "How do you say that?"

Liu Yong replied: "At that time, Ruxin went out to be a tutor. No matter how far away, she never took a car. If she could walk within an hour, she would walk. If it was too far away, she would buy a car." A second-hand bicycle to ride."

Lin Suqing thought for a while: "Uh, don't you guys know that Ruxin gets carsick?"

Li Zhong replied with a smile: "Of course we know that Ru Xin is carsick, but we thought that after so many years, she would become more delicate and get used to riding a car."

Zhou Ruxin sighed: "You think I don't want to be squeamish, but I have to find a way to get rid of my car sickness."

Well, even if the three of them knew that even if Zhou Ruxin didn't suffer from motion sickness, she definitely wouldn't be a "delicate" woman, but they didn't expose her.

While talking, he arrived at the Martyrs' Shrine, turned a detour, and went down a steep downhill road, and arrived at Mingjing Villa where Zhou Ruxin and the others lived.

The boss and his wife had already prepared the meals. Seeing the four of them coming together, they enthusiastically set up the dining table in the courtyard in front of the house. After the meal was served, they just asked Liu Yong and Li Zhong whether they would stay, and went to rest by themselves.

After a little tidying up, the four of them sat down separately. After all this tossing, they were really tired and hungry. The boss's cooking skills are really good. Everyone ate and drank for a while. Slowly continue to eat while chatting slowly.

First, Liu Yong asked Zhou Ruxin why they came to Hengshan to play, Zhou Ruxin said that they came to enjoy mountain climbing, Lin Suqing also nodded in agreement, and then asked the two of them why they came to climb Hengshan, so the two men talked a lot.

Liu Yong's story is somewhat similar to that of Lin Suqing's brother.After he went to that school, he was taken by the daughter of the school's old leader. It was Liu Yong who was pursued by that woman at the beginning.In fact, the old leader and his wife didn't like Liu Yong very much. The main reason was that he was born in the countryside and didn't have any background. So he reluctantly recruited Liu Yong to be his son-in-law.

Liu Yong has always been an arrogant man in his bones. How could he not know that his father-in-law looked down on him.But if you just look down on yourself, that's all. After all, if someone is an elder, living a life is still a matter of the young couple.The problem is, because the old man looked down on his son-in-law, first, he completely ignored Liu Yong's father, as if Liu Yong had no elders; The filial and upright Liu Yong couldn't bear to climb up bravely.

Many times of communication were fruitless, and the wife at home is the kind of person who believes in her parents' decisions. She always feels that her parents are all for Liu Yong's good, so naturally she helps her parents in everything.Liu Yong felt that he was living in this marriage without dignity. A few years ago, he had endured it because his wife liked him sincerely. The straw is simple.

When he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year that year, Liu Yong gave his father 2000 yuan to buy New Year’s goods, because his wife did not go home with him at that time, so Liu Yong naturally did not tell his wife about it.As a result, after his wife found out about this, she quarreled with Liu Yong. She had to say that Liu Yong didn't respect her, and even threatened to ask Liu Yong's father to get back the 2000 yuan. He finished the divorce procedure with her in a flash, left everything to that woman, and left the house by herself.

After the divorce, Liu Yong changed to a technical secondary school and started everything from the beginning. After all, he was professionally excellent. He quickly gained a firm foothold in the new school, was promoted, and became a middle-level leader of a small school. A down-to-earth wife.Although this wife did not study much and only graduated from high school, what is rare is that she manages the house well, keeps the house neat and tidy, and is filial to the elderly, respecting Liu Yong's father as his own father.Liu Yong only thinks that this is the life a real man should have, and that life goes well, so he misses the past, and naturally gets close to Li Zhong again.

As a result, with more contacts, he became familiar with Li Zhong's life.

Li Zhong's life is fairly standard. After graduation, he returned to his hometown and entered a college. He went steadily step by step, starting from a teaching assistant, becoming a lecturer, and recently he even became an associate professor.It's just that life is always difficult for everything to go smoothly. The common worry of Liu Yong and Li Zhong is that they have been married for so many years, but they have never had children.

In the first few years of marriage, although the elders in the family occasionally talked about it, they were not too anxious after all, seeing that they were all young.Who knows that year after year has passed, watching helplessly after the [-]th mark, the young couple has become an old husband and wife, but there is still no shadow of the child, and the old man is so anxious that he gets angry every time the young couple returns to their parents. At the mother's house, they don't ask anything, just ask when they will have a baby.

"Alas," Li Zhong sighed helplessly: "How can it be possible to have a child at birth?"

Zhou Ruxin looked at the two good friends from the past, and when they talked about the children, the two big men who were originally in high spirits both frowned and looked perplexed.After thinking about it, Zhou Ruxin asked, "Did you go to the hospital to see it all these years?"

Liu Yong said gloomily: "Why haven't I been there? I've been to several famous hospitals, and they all said that our husband and wife have no problems, but I don't know why we can't conceive."

Li Zhong was troubled again: "I went to a specialist before and they said it was my wife's problem. I don't really understand the specific situation. Anyway, unless I do test tubes, there is not much possibility of getting pregnant naturally. I am the only son in my family. My parents were very satisfied with her at first, but because of this reason, they always want me to divorce and remarry secretly. After so many years of husband and wife, she has no faults. How can I do this? A matter of treachery."

"So, you all came to Hengshan to pay homage together, hoping that the gods will bless you and give birth to a precious son soon, right?" Lin Suqing said.

Liu Yong and Li Zhong smiled wryly, and nodded together: "The old people in the family say that the Bodhisattva in Hengshan is the most effective, so they insisted on letting us come and worship."

Zhou Ruxin pondered for a moment and said: "Although the matter of ghosts and gods is vague. But my father told me since I was a child that I would rather believe in something than in nothing. When doing things for people, you must believe in gods. Brother Yong and Ah Zhong both He is a very good person, and I believe that if the gods have knowledge, they will surely make your wishes come true."

Liu Yong and Li Zhong thanked Zhou Ruxin together: "I hope to accept your good words!"

After some talking and checking the time, it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, and Liu Yong and Li Zhong were going home too.So the two and Zhou Ruxin added WeChat to each other, and asked each other to keep in touch with each other in the future, so they got up and said goodbye.

Lin Suqing and Zhou Ruxin also got up to see them off, and after a few steps, they left the courtyard, Lin Suqing stayed behind to help clean up, and Zhou Ruxin went to see them off.

As the three of them slowly climbed the long and extremely steep hillside, Li Zhong asked seemingly casually: "I heard Brother Yong say that Ru Xin has been staying in that middle school for these years, and everything is going well." , the teaching is quite unique, but I wonder if there have been any changes recently?"

Zhou Ruxin chuckled lightly: "Ah Zhong, just tell me what you want to ask."

Li Zhong hesitated and stopped. He was silent for a moment, then walked slowly up again: "Ru Xin, haven't you met the right person in these years?"

Liu Yong smiled "haha" at the side: "Ah Zhong, you are really worried. How can a woman with such a good heart not meet the right person."

Zhou Ruxin listened and smiled, the three of them had already climbed up the hillside at this time, Zhou Ruxin gestured with his hand: "Follow this main road, then turn around the bend in front, and walk a few steps to the Martyr's Shrine, I believe you will get there You two know each other better than I do."

Liu Yong and Li Zhong nodded to show their understanding.

Watching the two turn around and prepare to leave, the mountain road was silent, Zhou Ruxin said softly in a voice that the two could hear: "Ah Zhong, Brother Yong, I have already met the right person."

Hearing this sentence, Li Zhong wanted to say something more, but Liu Yong waved Zhou Ruxin goodbye and pulled him away: "Oh, Zhong, if you don't leave, it will be really late."

On the car back home, Li Zhong babbled several times while driving, accusing Liu Yong of insisting that Zhou Ruxin's fame and fortune must have been known to Liu Yong for a long time, but he has been refusing to tell him. He is not enough friends.

Liu Yong was annoyed by his nagging, and thought for a moment: "Ah Zhong, stop by the side of the road and let me drive."

Li Zhong was a little puzzled, but he still obeyed his words. After parking the car, he sat in the passenger seat instead, and then watched Liu Yong take the driver's seat unhurriedly, put on his seat belt, and drive on the road again, while leisurely Said: "A Zhong, I really didn't hide anything from you. Ru Xin met that person, and I only found out today. As for that person, um, didn't you already meet today?"

Li Zhong went through Liu Yong's words in his mind several times, leaned forward suddenly, swung his arm, and almost hit Liu Yong: "Brother Yong, you mean, the one Ru Xin is Lin Suqing?"

Liu Yong admired himself for his foresight, tsk tsk, fortunately he was the one who drove the car, otherwise there would probably be an accident, and on the other hand he said in a very ordinary way: "There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and each has his own way of life. What is good in the eyes of the world may not necessarily be It's really good, I think Ruxin is doing well now. I have been with her for four years, and I have never seen her so completely relaxed and smiling so peacefully like today."

The two over there went home, and the two here slowly went upstairs to freshen up and prepare for a peaceful sleep.

After climbing the mountain for a day, it would be a lie to say that I am not tired. Even after some washing, it only relieved a little fatigue. When the two of them packed up and lay on the bed, they only thought about going on a date with Grandpa Zhou as soon as possible up.

Before going to bed, Zhou Ruxin received a WeChat message from Li Zhong: "Ru Xin, you and Su Qing must be happy!"

Zhou Ruxin replied: "Ah Zhong, each other."

Lin Suqing blinked sleepy eyes beside her: "Ru Xin, what's the matter?"

Zhou Ruxin bent her head sideways and kissed her forehead lightly: "It's okay, Ah Zhong is blessing me."

Lin Suqing tried to open her eyes: "Did Ruxin tell them about us?"

Zhou Ruxin covered Suqing's eyes with her hands: "They must have seen it themselves, Suqing is about to fall asleep."

It was too sleepy, so the two embraced lightly and soon fell asleep.

Others have other people's stories, as long as they live their lives.

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog. Zhou Ruxin has always felt that these words are really great words of wisdom.In the vast universe, the creation of heaven and earth, who is superior to whom?All are but one of a kind.

Each has its own reasons, don't envy others, live well, walk the road under your feet well, is the best life.

The author has something to say:

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog; the sage is not benevolent, and treats the people as a straw dog.I have always firmly believed that what this says is that all living beings are equal.
