little city

Chapter 18

The winter vacation is very long, the winter in the northern countryside is bleak and lonely, the plants are hidden deep in the frozen ground, the animals have entered a long hibernation, and people are sitting lazily on their kangs, telling the legendary past of thousands of years.All my thoughts have become words and recorded in my diary.

Once a person enters a state of love, he will act out of his mind. This has long been seen by parents, who know that their son is in love.My parents are traditional and honest people. They were afraid that my love would delay my studies, and they kept telling me to focus on my studies and put other things aside. However, emotional matters came like a tide and were unstoppable.

We had a few surreptitious phone calls, always brief, and it was clear that neither of us was ready to let our parents know about each other's presence.

The night after school started, we made an appointment to meet at the gazebo.I came to the pavilion early to wait for Jingshu, but I still had that excited and fanatical heart.But at nine o'clock, Jing Shu didn't come, and at ten o'clock, she still didn't come.All my thoughts were lost and I was extremely sad.

When I was about to leave, I saw a familiar figure running towards me in a trance.I was very sure that it was Jing Shu, I went up to meet them, and hugged each other quietly, like lovers who had been separated for many years,

At this time, Jing Shu suddenly started crying, and the crying became louder and louder.

I was terrified, let go of Jing Shu, and asked her what was wrong.

"He's not dead." Jing Shu sobbed.

"Who is not dead." I was dumbfounded.

"Little hooligan, there is no death penalty, the final trial is over, life imprisonment."

After finishing speaking, Jing Shu began to cry again and said: "This is not fair, this is not fair to Yuchen."

"Killing to pay for life is justified, how can it become indefinite?"

"Because when he committed the crime, he was under the age of [-], just a few months away. The law is too unfair."

I am also very angry, whether the law protects the victimized minors or the criminal minors.The untimely death of an outstanding young man, Young Flower, cannot be made up for by any punishment.I hope he will not commute his sentence too early and endanger the society.

Jing Shu kept crying, crying very sadly.For some reason, my tears also started to fall, I don't know how to comfort Jing Shu, maybe being with her when she is sad is the best comfort.

After a semester of hard work, Jing Shu has gotten better and better. She has begun to learn to laugh, accept my company, and show a good mental outlook.Now, Jing Shu's condition has started to deteriorate again.

She is no longer willing to go downstairs, unwilling to go to class, it seems that she is also unwilling to see me.I can feel that when she sees me, she just feels guilty and has to see me. If she can not see me, she prefers to stay in her own world.

My greetings, my care and love have become another burden on her mind.This is the result I don't want to see.

Every time I think that Jingshu doesn't love me at all, I feel inexplicable heartache.But I treat Jingshu like my own sister, and I can't let go of my love for Jingshu.

Jingshu’s roommate, Xiaoli, knew our story and was moved by my emotions. She helped me take care of Jingshu from time to time every day.She is tall and strong, and her skin is black and purple. I don't have any prejudice against Lili when I say this. Even now, when I think about it, I am still full of gratitude to Lili.She is an expansive person, but also a caring person.

Xiaoli will report Jingshu's status to me every day to make me feel at ease, so I know that she is still in a daze in the dormitory every day, or she is just copying scriptures over and over again.

I was extremely worried about Jingshu's falling into Buddhism, but at this moment, I feel very relieved.In any case, if she can have spiritual sustenance, the worst thing will not happen.

Although Jingshu is reluctant to go downstairs, we still meet several times a week.I try my best to accompany Jing Shu, go to class, eat, and run in the playground.As long as she likes, or her request, I never refuse.I specially bought a complete collection of jokes, thinking about telling jokes to Jing Shu every day, hoping that she can cheer up again.

I also practiced guitar hard every day, and went to sign up for a guitar class near the school. I turned all my love for Jingshu into notes. In the ocean of music, I felt the power of love.

Seeing that Jing Shu's birthday is coming soon, what should I decide to do? On my 19th birthday, how could I miss such a good opportunity.

I decided to give Jingshu a boat, a boat of love that belongs to the two of us, and make it myself.I didn't expect this decision to be easy, but it was really hard to do.First of all, I have to find the right wood and tools. This is a very troublesome problem. If I was in my hometown, I could easily get wood, but in this big city of reinforced concrete, it is even more difficult.Later, I had an idea and ran to the logistics department of the school. Several masters were smoking and chatting in the yard, and I told everyone my thoughts.A middle-aged master squatting in the corner is a carpenter.He kept looking at me without saying a word, while the other masters kept teasing me.Later, Wang Carpenter was moved by my true feelings and agreed to help.He searched the warehouse for a long time and brought back a piece of wood. We went to his carpentry workshop together. I explained the general shape to him. He understood it and began to draw lines on the wood, plan the wood, and chisel the shape. It was hard work. After a long time, a section of wood was finally chiseled into the prototype of the boat.

I took this prototype back to the dormitory, and then I relied on my own meticulous craftsmanship.I bought knives, saw blades, glue, paint, plasticine and other tools from the supermarket, and polished them a little bit every day in the dormitory.Seeing that the mast was erected, the sails were formed, and the cabin became more and more spacious.I pinched a little boy and a little girl with plasticine, and they sat side by side on the bow of the boat. The boy turned his face sideways and looked at the girl affectionately.The words LOVE were engraved on the hull, and finally painted.A week later, a perfect love boat is ready.

On the eve of my birthday, I took the boat to wait for Jingshu downstairs in the girls' dormitory.At this time of night, couples of young couples are all downstairs in the dormitory. They are inseparable. Some embrace affectionately, some French kiss goodbye, and some boys like me focus on the windows of their loved ones, or stare at the dormitory The gate of the building, for fear of missing the lover's figure.Among the many puzzles of love, the appearance of sincerely waiting is the most beautiful.

"Happy birthday!" I said affectionately to Jing Shu.

"It's not here yet, you're too early." Maybe everyone will feel better on the important day.She rarely smiled that day.

"Because I want to be the first to send blessings." I took out the wooden boat from behind. "For you."

Jing Shu came over, holding the wooden boat, and suddenly hugged me, tears began to flow down.I was at a loss. Although her tears always fell unconsciously, she must have been touched by me this time, right?

I pointed to the bow and said, "Look what's over here?"

On the bow of the boat, I pinched myself and Jingshu with plasticine, holding hands and looking into the distance, just like we looked at the west from the top of Mount Dai.

She stared, laughing through tears.She finally smiled, and her smile always catches me.She is happy, so I am happy.

On our birthday, we went to the Plum Garden together.

At the entrance of the park, there stands a big billboard saying "Spring starts from the Plum Garden". Before entering the garden, the fragrance of flowers has already been smelled.After buying the student tickets, we entered the garden excitedly, and the scenery of the Plum Garden was layer upon layer before our eyes.At this time, it is the end of the peak season for plum appreciation, and the plum blossoms are still blooming proudly. There is a plum forest on the slope of the back mountain, and the white and pink flowers cover the hillside.Behind the sea of ​​flowers to the west, there is an octagonal tower overlooking the garden.The mountains and rocks in the park are wonderful, covered with green cypresses, and the scenery is unique.

We bypassed the plum garden stele, walked through the pergola entwined with wisteria, and headed straight for the Fragrant Snow Sea.Going up the slope all the way, you are surrounded by plum blossoms. The fragrance of flowers is quiet, cold and refreshing.

Jing Shu walked in front, looking left and right, the white windbreaker was swinging among the flowers, the twigs were dancing, the petals were flying, the hair was flying, and it was natural and harmonious.Jingshu is like a flower fairy, running freely.After another month of low tide, maybe spring has come, maybe I was moved again.I saw the long-lost happiness.

Taking the path from Meihai, we went directly to Zhaohe Pavilion and took a rest.Here, surrounded by green trees and floating in the dark fragrance, we sat down in the pavilion and indulged in silence, but we seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeat.

Going up, there is a stone pagoda, which was built by the owner in memory of his mother.Maternal love is selfless, but love is often selfish.Looking down, the scenery in the garden is unobstructed.

"If one day you leave, I will build a tower and sit here every day, waiting for you to come back."

"If I never come back, will you wait for me?" Jing Shu looked at the large plum blossom bushes in front of her indifferently.

"I knew you would come back. I just kept waiting, foolishly."

We sat quietly for a long time, my fingers gently hooked hers, tourists came and went, and we just held hands like this, without going any further, and without separating.Suddenly there was a melodious flute sound in the distance, as if telling the distant past, we were all intoxicated.

I especially cherish the time with Jing Shu, especially the rare happy time.I am not sure that I can keep her by my side, so every time we are together, I am afraid that it will be the last time.

When I came back, I wrote a little poem,

Plum Blossom Song

The dead branches of wintersweet are dancing,

Sparse shadows drifting horizontally and slantingly,

Where the soul of the pink butterfly fragrance hears the sound,

The dark fragrance floats and the remnant flute is cold.

In the evening we had dinner at a Birch Forest restaurant not far from the school. I used the restaurant’s guitar and gave Jing Shu a song called “Birch Forest” that I had just practiced.That was the first time I played the guitar in public, my skills were still unfamiliar, my fingers were unsteady, and my voice was a little trembling. Fortunately, there were not many people in the restaurant, so I managed to complete my first performance in my life. Unexpectedly , The diners gave me warm applause.Because of courage, because of love, my face was flushed and my heart was hot.

Jing Shu sat quietly in her seat, shedding tears of happiness.This time the tears, because of my sincere emotion, I feel very happy.
