White dove

On the last day, Tong Tong woke up very early, the morning light shone faintly on the curtains, and she was lying on the bed with her eyes half-opened and distracted.

He lived in this room since he was a child, and moved out with Yu Xing when he was in high school. He came back to college occasionally, but he almost never stayed there. Those were the years when he had the worst relationship with Tong Shining, and then he graduated... until now.

The bed, desk, and wardrobe in the room have not changed, and there is an old smell, which is not unpleasant, and even smells good, the smell of old wood.

The side of the desk against the wall was covered with movie posters, all of which were his favorite movies and stars in middle school, Kill Bill, Kill the Dawn, Born to Kill... At that time, I was so bored, I just wanted to watch violent movies.

There are still a few old clothes in the closet, which are very simple and outdated. The suitcases that came back this time were spread out beside the bed, and he didn't clean them up. Everything was still stuffed in the suitcases. He couldn't stay at home for a few days. I'm leaving again.

Unable to fall asleep, Tong Tong simply got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, cooked a pot of steaming fermented eggs, and after a while Yu Xing and Tong Shining woke up and could eat.

Scooped a bowl for himself and took it back to the room, sat down at the desk and opened the curtains, there was water vapor on the glass, it was foggy, and the outside scene couldn't be seen clearly, but he remembered very clearly that the Spring Festival of that year was at this window , He was so bored that he pushed open the window and saw the border town downstairs who was looking for him all the way.

He always remembered the torment after being separated from the border town during the winter vacation. It almost made him sure that he just wanted to be with this person, and if they didn't separate, he would die.

However, we still separated, and I didn't die, maybe my heart died, but my body was still alive, tasteless.

If it weren't for making a documentary to ignite another fire in my heart, it would really be no different from The Walking Dead.

After drinking a bowl of fermented rice in the house, he checked the time, and Biancheng said he would pick him up at nine o'clock, and there were still two hours left.

Pack your things, Tong Tong thought for a while, why don't you just take the suitcase with you and go directly to the airport after going to the place mentioned in the border town, so as not to waste time going back and forth.

Tong Shining also got up early, and poked his head at the door of Tongtong's room: "Where are you packing?"

"Yeah." Tong Tong said directly: "I'll go out with Biancheng in a while, I guess I'll go directly to the airport after the end, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time."

"You look at the time yourself. You are such an adult, you should be more organized and don't worry people." Tong Shining urged.

Tong Tong smiled in her heart: "Got it."

He also said, "I cooked some fermented rice in the kitchen, you and mom can have some."

Tong Shining said: "Your mother is awake too, you can stay with her for a while."

"Okay." Tong Tong said and walked out, Tong Shining went to the bathroom to wash up, muttering and complaining: "I don't see anyone all year round, and I have to leave after coming back for a few days..."

Yu Xing just woke up, leaning against the head of the bed, Tong Tong walked over and sat on the side of the bed, Yu Xing said: "I just heard, you are leaving now?"

"Well." After a few seconds, Tong Tong said again: "I will come back often in the future, and I will come back when I have time."

Yu Xing smiled: "That's good, it will take five years to come back again, Mom can't stand it."

Tong Tong blushed: "No more."

Yu Xing looked at him, and asked softly, "You and Xiao Bian, is that all?"

Tong Tong was stunned, not knowing how to answer, as if... not only "that's it", but "how", he didn't know and couldn't say.

Yu Xing sighed lightly, and patted the back of his hand.

"I'm at the door, come down?" Bian Cheng sent a message to Tong Tong.

Tong Tong was stunned when he dragged his suitcase to the gate of the community. There was no familiar BMW SUV at the gate, but there was one he had been thinking about for a long time.But the car I never thought of actually owning - a big American pickup, Ford Raptor F150, orange, looks like flames.

Standing at a distance of 20 meters from the car, he exclaimed "Wow" in his heart, and his eyes lit up.

What's even more unbelievable is that there was only one person alighting from the flaming muscle car, a border town in black clothes, black trousers and black sunglasses.

Seeing this extremely cool person stepping down from this extremely cool car, Tong Tong's surprise surged like a tide, what's going on?Why did Biancheng drive a pickup truck?Is it his?

Biancheng approached, took the suitcase from Tongtong's hand, but threw the car keys to him: "Do you want to try?"

Tong Tong took the key and followed behind in confusion: "Your car?"

"En." Bian Cheng said vaguely, put the luggage into the trunk, and sat in the front passenger seat.

Tong Tong sat in the driver's seat and looked around carefully up, down, left, and right.

The orange-and-black interior has a metallic shimmer. If it weren't for such an aggressive color, it would be the same as that used by the special forces. Tong Tong smiled so hard that the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth were crooked, and the steering wheel was a bit big in his hand. But it doesn't matter, a person who is thin and slender but has long hands and legs, driving such a muscle car has a contradictory sense of beauty.

It's just that Tongtong also found that this car seems to be a few years old, not a new model, at least he knows that this year's new F150 is not like this.

How should I put it, this car looks like a border town, but it doesn't look like a car he would buy.

Biancheng showed him the way, and the car drove out of the city. Tong Tong asked, "When did you buy it? It doesn't look like your style."

"What's my style?" Bian Cheng asked back.

"Just—" Tong Tong couldn't help but pissed off: "It's the style of an old cadre."

Bian Cheng froze for a moment, then punched lightly: "Your memory is all for this."

"However, to be honest, now you don't look like a veteran cadre at all. The longer you grow, the younger you are. What is this, rejuvenating? The more cars you buy, the more flirtatious you are." Tong Tong frantically tested on the verge of being beaten.

Bian Cheng laughed loudly: "No, my soul is still an old cadre, it's just temporarily sealed, in order to give you a sense of freshness."

Tong Tong couldn't help laughing too.

Bian Cheng suddenly said, "Little Tong, this car actually belongs to you."

Tong Tong was shocked, he didn't ask why, but his heart skipped a beat.

Hearing Biancheng continue to say: "Do you still remember that when I joked that I would buy you a MINI, you sniffed and said that you don't want to drive such a motherly car, you can drive a pickup if you want to drive, and then I secretly ordered this one." Car, I’m going to give you a surprise as a graduation gift, but you left before the car arrives.”

Tong Tong stared at the road ahead, clutching the steering wheel, speechless for a while.

Biancheng smiled again: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else by saying this now, I just want to clarify that I chose such a flamboyant color for you, you see how suitable it is for you, it's in my hands I haven't driven it a few times, just to maintain it and go out for a walk every month."

But Tongtong was puzzled: "The price of this car... In the situation back then, where did you get the money to buy the car?"

At that time, Biancheng drove the Land Rover borrowed from Su Lei, and the two lived in a one-bedroom rental house. They started their own business and created one and two big ones. They were so anxious that they couldn't sleep at night.

Biancheng said: "Because it is a purely imported car, the delivery cycle will be very long. I ordered it very early, before I left home, but at that time I only paid the down payment, and the final payment will be paid when the car arrives. Later, Su Lei helped me with the cushion, and it took more than a year for me to return it to him."

"He originally asked me to sell the car. This was a refitted version. At that time, a group of people who were interested in refitting cars wanted to buy it. The price was higher than what I bought. I was not willing to sell it. Fortunately, I didn't sell it. Otherwise, today you It can't be opened."

Tong Tong slowed down, turned his head slightly and glanced at Biancheng: "Fortunately, I arrived."

"It's your car, so one day I will drive to it." Bian Cheng said.

The border town did not specify the place to go, but Tong Tong was given manual navigation all the way, the car left the city, and went all the way to the mountains along the expressway around the city.

This area is already the tail of the Three Gorges. After passing a high-speed fork, Biancheng pointed to the road sign and asked Tongtong to go to the other side, which avoided the Yangtze River and went to the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River.

Compared with the Yangtze River, the Qingjiang River is more meaningful and beautiful, and it is even more picturesque when it encounters clouds and mist.

After driving for nearly three hours, I got off the highway, and then drove up and around a mountain, and then arrived at a large open camp.

"This is?" Tong Tong looked at the camp on the mountainside, and had some vague guesses in his heart.

The weather is good today. Apart from them, there are other people in the camp who are preparing for takeoff, and some people are floating in mid-air.

It is a paragliding base with infinite scenery.

Biancheng seems to have made an appointment in advance. When he arrived, a staff member with a coaching card came to greet him at the base.

"Coach Xu." Bian Cheng introduced Tong Tong.

"You can just call me Lao Xu." Coach Xu has dark skin, and it looks like he has been doing outdoor work all year round.

"Okay, Lao Xu, my name is Tong Tong." Tong Tong reached out to shake Coach Xu's hand.

"The equipment is still in the old place, I'll take you to get it." Coach Xu walked in front, and Biancheng was behind, looking familiar.

Tong Tong was curious: "Do you come here often?"

"It's not often, the weather is good, so you can only come when you have time." Bian Cheng said.

That's right, it depends on God's will to play this thing.

Next to the base office is a VIP equipment area. Bian Cheng took the key, opened his own cabinet and took out the folded paraglider and his gliding suit.

He said to Coach Xu: "Old Xu, help Tongtong choose a suitable gliding suit for him? Don't want the ones rented by the base. I'll buy another one."

"Okay." The entrance of the equipment area is the equipment and clothing sales area. Tong Tong looked at the color of the gliding suit in the border city, and picked out a set of the same style and color with him, white and black, like a racing driver.

The paragliding suit is very loose and can be put on directly outside the clothes. Biancheng walked to the take-off area with the unpacked paraglider in his arms. Coach Xu explained to Biancheng a few words and then withdrew to entertain other students.

Biancheng spread out the paragliders and spread them evenly on the grass, while explaining the precautions to Tong Tong: "Don't be nervous for a while, pay attention to my password, I say run, you run forward, I say jump up, you Just jump, that's it, it's easy."

"No, wait," Tong Tong was a little confused: "Where is our coach? Fly without waiting for the coach? I haven't flown before..."

Bian Cheng smiled and stood in front of him: "I'm not waiting for the coach, I'm the coach."

"Ah??" Tong Tong still couldn't react.

Bian Cheng looked down at him slightly: "Let's go together, I'll take you to fly, you just follow me."

Tong Tong's heart suddenly thumped, vague excitement mixed with vague fear: "Well, Biancheng, do you have a coach certificate?"

"Yes." Bian Cheng flipped through his phone, found an electronic version of the certificate, and zoomed it in for Tong Tong: "I took the test two years ago, and it's genuine."

Tong Tong was a little relieved, and vaguely had expectations, not afraid, and he was not afraid of doing anything with Border Town.

He looked at a large crescent-shaped pure white paraglider scattered on the grass and said, "This paraglider looks like a white dove when it flies out."

Bian Cheng was still arranging the cable, turned to look at him and said, "Just like you, you are also a pigeon, you are free."

This sentence hit Tong Tong's heart so suddenly, he was stunned for a long time thinking, the pigeon... Biancheng was telling him that he didn't blame him for walking away without a word back then, he was telling him that you should It is free, you can roam in the sky that should belong to you, and you don't have to be imprisoned in a certain square inch of land.

He once stupidly and willfully gave up the opportunity to fly, because he didn't have it, so he wouldn't know what he missed, but at this time, he had indeed seen the mountains and the sea, but Tong Tong felt that what he had lost is another precious thing.

Migratory birds have a return date, and no matter how many miles the white dove has flown, it will always land and return home along the route in its heart.

The border town gave him a lot of freedom, which is because of love.
