Eye of the Leopard

After eating the crispy meat, the two returned to the Liziba light rail station on the eighth floor, leaned on half of the wall and looked down.The viewing platform below is [-] square meters, and crowds gather.Some of the tourists held their mobile phones, and some stretched out their selfie sticks, taking pictures of their sightseeing.

Xu Yiqing remembered the purpose of eating: "Yang Yue, I will also be emotional."

"You will be angry? You don't look angry." Yang Yue turned to look at him.

"Yes. Sadness, anger, loss, joy... I have all kinds of emotions. After Zhao Xuan's death, I will continue to study. I try to calm myself down and return to a normal life, so I try to recall the scene that made me calm. "

"Alone scene?"

"A scene where many people exist. But few people can fully understand it." Xu Yiqing said.

"You are completely healthy, as if you were born to find a way to heal." Yang Yue said, "Be more specific, for example?"

"For example, the library on Saturday night. The movie theater during the weekday. The snack street where small benches sit chaotically during afternoon tea time. The Starbucks where students copy homework at the end of the holiday. The light rail line during off-peak hours. I don’t know each other, the environment is complex and extraordinary, I don’t feel crowded, and the white noise doesn’t interfere with each other. Submerging in it is the most reassuring for me.”

"During the day on weekdays, do you go to the cinema?"

"During winter and summer vacation." Xu Yiqing added the premise.

Yang Yue thought: This method will not work for me.I lack peaceful memories.

"The psychiatrist told me something similar in the consulting room. I couldn't understand it," he said.

"Forget it then." Xu Yiqing smiled.

"Yeah." Yang Yue turned his head and looked down.Many tourists below opened their mouths wide and looked at the camera of their mobile phones.

Yang Yue asked: "What are those people doing down here?"

"They are waiting for the subway line 2 to pass through the building to take a video of themselves eating the light rail." Xu Yiqing said, "Douyin made the Liziba light rail station too popular. There is only a thousand observation decks that are more exaggerated than this." Simen Bridge."

"The Qiansimen Bridge seems to be a driveway?"

"Tourists turned it into a viewing platform. The bridge can not only see Hongyadong and Jiefangbei from a distance, but also overlook the confluence of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River. More and more tourists go there, so every holiday, Qiansimen Bridge Close the two-way traffic and turn it into a viewing platform. When I took my relatives there, they also walked on the bridge to take pictures of Hongyadong.”

"I have never been to Hongyadong." Yang Yue said.

"Eh?"

"A lot of people don't go to the sights in their own city."

"Yes. But my relatives must go there when they travel. Are you going to see it?"

"You didn't bother?"

"It's not annoying." Xu Yiqing said, "Because it's really beautiful. And it's not a holiday, so the crowding shouldn't be scary."

The light rail runs into the station, and the body is painted with panda pictures.

The car door opened, and Yang Yue ran up: "Let's go to Hongya Cave and go to the Qiansimen Bridge."

"Do you want to take a boat?" Xu Yiqing walked into the light rail behind him, "Seeing Hongyadong on the Liangjiang cruise ship is more impressive."

Yang Yue said, "Yes."

The light rail door closed.

The light rail roared away.An assassin's shop was under their feet, and they sped backwards.

Yang Yue said: "Xiao Xu, do you think Jing Ke will know that today's assassins should be body masters?"

Xu Yiqing laughed.

More treetops, houses and shops retreated quickly under their feet.

-

After getting off the light rail, he ran towards the pier.Yang Yue asked: "If I don't buy the ferry ticket online in advance, can I go on the cruise ship?"

"I can go up." Xu Yiqing was confident.

"The boat is about to sail! The tickets for the Chaotian Palace at 08:30 have been processed, one for [-]!" On the side of the road, a middle-aged woman was holding a small table to sell.The promotional posters on the table are dim in color.

"Two, 150 yuan." Xu Yiqing ran over to bargain.

"Okay, okay. The last two, get on board at Pier [-]," the woman said.Xu Yiqing paid, and the woman tore him two tickets.

"She doesn't seem to have a business license?" Yang Yue said.

"I don't have the qualification to sell tickets. But the tickets are real." Xu Yiqing said, "The boat tickets at Chaotianmen Wharf are like this. Everything at the roadside stalls looks fake, but the boat tickets are really usable. It's also cheaper than online shopping."

They arrived at Pier No. [-], descended the stone ladder, and scanned the QR code of the ferry ticket and it was green.The two ran to the cruise ship.The floating anchors under the water were tied together by chains, and they were shaken by his running.

The two of them boarded the boat to the third floor, and there were guards on the upper floor: "The private seat is 50 yuan per person."

Yang Yue took out his mobile phone and was held down by Xu Yiqing.

"It's the same on the third floor as it is on the fourth floor." Xu Yiqing stopped him from swiping money and pulled him to the side of the boat on the third floor.

The river wind blows, and the waves are eternal.The sound of the whistle is long and long, like the cry of an underwater monster.

The cruise ship started, and he lay on the side of the ship.On the river, other cruise ships come and go.The splendor of the cruise ship and the bright lights of the buildings on the other side complement each other.

after an hour.

"After reading it, come down and taste tea for free. The cruise ship has specially prepared authentic tea and mahua for all passengers." Someone greeted at the door.

The tourists followed the direction he pointed.

Yang Yue wanted to move, but was held back by Xu Yiqing again.

"Don't go down there, it's selling souvenirs for tourists." Xu Yiqing said, "Look at Hongya Cave."

A huge building appeared on the mountain face.The ancient stilted buildings are scattered in height and built on the cliffs, showing the folk customs, architecture and wharf culture of 3000 years.

The edge of the stilted building outlines the dazzling Phnom Penh with modern lights.A small silver building on the lower right is shining brightly.At the entrance of Hongya Cave, the viaduct supports the road.There are cars speeding by on the road.

"This building seems to translate the modeling of a cartoon into reality." Yang Yue said, "but I can't remember the name of the cartoon."

"Spirited Away." Xu Yiqing said, "Every relative says that."

A large colored box moved from above their heads to the opposite.The moving speed of the box is slow, like a frame bug on the display page of the earth.

"What is that?" Yang Yue pointed to the frame and asked.

"Yangtze River Cableway." Xu Yiqing rested his arms on the railings of the ship, and stuck his head out.The short hair hangs a little to the forehead.

The ancient and the modern blend in front of Yang Yue, putting him in the world of cyberpunk.He looked sideways at Xu Yiqing.Xu Yiqing's white face was changing with light projections.The river laps on the shore, the cruise ship is slowing down, and the tourists below are still snapping up the souvenirs that are on sale.

"Oh." Yang Yue said.When Xu Yiqing was doing homework across from him, her hair would hang down a little to her forehead.Xu Yiqing's hair seemed to be very soft.Yang Yue suddenly felt that he had some memory scenes.

This is not a treatment room.Next to it is not a psychiatrist.Xu Yiqing said that memories can bring peace.

He felt obligated to address his friend's doubts in turn.

"Others asked me to, so I went to smash Zhang Chengjun." He offered to say.

Xu Yiqing looked up in shock.

"This semester started, and I had a stomachache during evening self-study, and I lay on the table." Yang Yue said.He concealed the cause of the stomachache—an eating disorder. "It was still hot at the beginning of school, and a girl in our class was only wearing the striped long-sleeved shirt that went with the school uniform. Zhang Chengjun took over our class less than a week ago. He got off the podium to give a lecture to the female students." , touched the girl's spine with his right hand, slowly, over and over again. The sweat on his right hand was printed on the long-sleeved shirt, and the shirt cloth was tightly attached to the girl's back. After he finished speaking, he returned to the podium. After class, the girl told me I made a cup of Weitai Granules. She said: "Yang Yue, you seem to be in pain. Drink some medicine." I was really in pain, so I took her Weitai Granules. She watched me drink and complained: 'Teacher Zhang made me feel sick. He taught very well, but I wanted to break his hand.' I drank her medicine, so naturally I wanted to help her achieve her wish."

Xu Yiqing said: "If you pay me back, you will pay back more. If you receive a little favor from others, you will always repay it." She thought to herself: His angle is so close and clear, that female classmate is sitting around him.

"No! I'm idle and bored, so I might as well hit someone." Yang Yue said, as if being stepped on a sore spot.

Xu Yiqing thought: It would be far-fetched to find other reasons.

Yang Yue went on to say: "I didn't find a chance to hit him for a while. On September 9, after school on Friday, Zhang Chengjun came to my seat. He said: 'Yang Yue, don't sleep on your stomach in class. Before I I have been busy with the Olympiad team, so I didn’t care about you. The day after tomorrow, my team members have a preliminary round, and I’m a little free. Come over to the teacher’s dormitory and have a heart-to-heart talk with me. Let’s go at 25:09 in the morning, No. 30 on the ninth floor.’ I can talk to him alone On the morning of September 2, I went to his dormitory. The door of his room was ajar. I walked into the living room. There was a dining table in the corner of the living room. There was a wooden bench in front of the table. Lots of pictures of him with his students."

"Mr. Zhang said that he specially moved those group photos when he moved." Xu Yiqing said, "Mr. Zhang is not in the dormitory?"

"He's actually in the bedroom. I picked up the color photo at the bottom to look at it. The boy in the photo is short, fair-skinned, with a gold medal on his chest, and is held in Zhang Chengjun's arms. At this moment, Zhang Chengjun came out of the bedroom, Said: "Yang Yue, the photo you took is a group photo of me and my students. I haven't heard from him for many years. This photo has faded, and I found a photo studio to restore it. Sit down." I put down the photo frame, Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Zhang Chengjun closed the door, picked up the photo and touched it. He said: "23 years ago, I received this 15-year-old student. Two years later, he became the first math Olympiad I brought out. Gold medalist.” He sat next to me: “Yang Yue, you are very smart and talented, and you have the same potential to win the Olympiad gold medal as him.” I was a little surprised and asked him: “Mr. Zhang, I never sleep on my stomach in class. , how do you see that I have potential?' He said: 'You are beautiful, and you are smart and you will look good. Once you win the gold medal in the math competition, you can choose not only domestic schools but also foreign schools. This qualification Your family may not be able to buy it with money.' Then he told me a lot of understanding of mathematics competitions, as well as my training plan from basics to competitions."

Xu Yiqing said: "Teacher Zhang took time to talk with you. I value you very much."

On the return journey of the cruise ship, the other side of the river bank appeared.The grand theater is shell-shaped, and the high-rise buildings are sail-shaped.Both are equally bright, taking away the light of the stars in the sky.
