Not enough greed

Su Chen and Zhou Zheng went to Yishan for the second time after Su Chen graduated from university.That day they had dinner and were sitting on the sofa preparing to watch the news. Su Chen looked at the Yishan travel advertisement on TV and suddenly asked, "Have we been to Yishan before?"

Zhou Zheng nodded, recalling the little boy back then, and said with a smile: "At that time, you were still in elementary school, and you were not half as tall as me. , You really climbed up, and you didn't cry for me to carry it..."

Su Chen was a little embarrassed by what he said, but he didn't want to interrupt. He rarely listened to Zhou Zheng's mention of the past, and he didn't know what he looked like in Zhou Zheng's eyes.Zhou Zheng is like a person who only cares about the present and the future. All the past, no matter the joys and sorrows, seem to be left behind by him relentlessly, and he will not deliberately recall, let alone miss.

This time, Zhou Zheng seemed to have opened up a chatterbox. From the moment they started from home to flying, then to going up the mountain and taking the cableway, seeing Su Chen's curious face, he couldn't help joking: " I thought you were afraid of taking the ropeway, but when you arrived at the place where you lived at night, you cried until midnight, which shocked me. I wanted to help you get a towel to cover your eyes, but you still pulled my clothes, pitifully won't let me go..."

Su Chen's face was reddened by the words, and he quickly interrupted his words: "Don't say it, don't say it! I don't even remember!"

Zhou Zheng smiled and pinched the tips of his hot ears: "It's okay, as long as I remember."

Su Chen gave Zhou Zheng a hard look, but was tickled by his memories, and asked, "How about we go to Yishan again when?"

Of course Zhou Zheng would not refuse his request. After recalling the recent arrangements in his mind, Zhou Zheng asked: "Then let's go this weekend. It happens that there is nothing to do recently, so we can leave at noon on Friday. How about it?"

Su Chen nodded, and the matter was settled like this.

Although there is a saying that the first time is born and the second time is familiar, because Zhou Zheng is really not familiar with Yishan at all after many years, let alone Su Chen.So before they set off, the two of them honestly read the travel guide at home. Su Chen was thinking about setting up a tent on the mountain, so the two of them went to buy hiking bags and sleeping bags.

In the end, they packed two big bags. Fortunately, the two big men didn't feel tired carrying them, so Zhou Zheng didn't clear out the flashlights and binoculars that Su Chen packed in.

After getting off the plane and transferring to the bus, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the foot of Yishan Mountain. They stayed in the hotel at the foot of the mountain for one night, and went up the mountain from the back mountain early the next morning.

As a nationally-famous natural scenic spot, there are cableways available for the front and back mountains of Yishan Mountain, and there are also cableways between various scenic spots in the scenic spot, which provides sufficient convenience for physically weak tourists.Zhou Zheng originally planned to take Su Chen to take the cableway to the middle of the mountain before starting to climb the mountain, but Su Chen saw the long line in front of the cableway ticket office and simply dragged Zhou Zheng up the mountain road.

There are actually no famous scenic spots on the way up the mountain, so although this mountain road is not difficult to walk, most tourists still choose to take the cableway, and there are very few tourists on the mountain road.Su Chen took Zhou Zheng's hand and walked forward for a while. Seeing that there were not many people, he didn't let go of Zhou Zheng's hand. The hands that the two were holding were replaced by Su Chen's interlocking fingers.

In Zhou Zheng's opinion, two big men walking on the road holding hands like this is too tired and crooked, but seeing Su Chen happily humming a little tune, Zhou Zheng couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so he was happy up.

They walked from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and it took them two hours to take the cableway for only 10 minutes. Fortunately, the scenery along the way was not bad, probably because of the lack of people, they even saw it halfway. A group of monkeys of unknown species.Recalling his experience of feeding macaques in Mount Emei, Su Chen took out a banana from his bag and threw it over. Unexpectedly, the group of monkeys chirped a few times and then dispersed.

Su Chen felt a little regretful looking at the forest that had regained its silence: "The monkeys here are different from those in Mount Emei..."

Zhou Zheng patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

After arriving at the end of this section of the cableway, there were obviously more tourists on the mountain road, so Su Chen had to let go of Zhou Zheng's hand and follow behind Zhou Zheng.After walking a few steps, Zhou Zheng stopped on the rest platform next to him. Su Chen followed for no apparent reason. Zhou Zheng took a sip of water and asked, "Are you tired?"

Su Chen glanced at him with a smile: "Not tired! Could it be that you can't do it anymore?"

Zhou Zheng followed his words, slumped his shoulders, and looked weak: "Yes, I can't walk anymore, what should I do?"

Of course Su Chen wouldn't be fooled, he took Zhou Zheng's arm and continued walking forward: "I don't believe it!" After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "But if you really can't walk anymore, I can carry you."

Zhou Zheng thought of something, and smiled and slapped his hand away: "Forget it, I'm not that old. Let's go, you go ahead."

It didn't take long for them to walk up to the place where they stayed. Because Su Chen wanted to set up a tent, they just stored their luggage in the hotel, packed a raincoat, mobile phone and two boxes of self-heating meals in a small backpack, and then set off. A canyon near here.

This canyon is a newly developed scenic spot in the past two years. There are cliffs on the sides of the up and down mountain roads.In order to ensure safety, there are guardrails on the side of the mountain road near the cliff. After walking down for a while, Su Chen saw concentric locks began to appear on the guardrail. At first, there were only two or three locks on the guardrail. More and more, and finally the entire railing is covered.

Seeing Su Chen staring at the concentric locks, Zhou Zheng said, "I want it? But I remember that the stall selling locks is not here, and I don't know how those people thought of hanging them here."

Su Chen came back to his senses, turned around and asked, "Did we hang up with one before?"

Zhou Zheng was taken aback, then nodded with a smile: "But it's not here, I remember it's on the main peak. Do you remember?"

Su Chen nodded and shook her head again: "I only remember a little bit vaguely."

There was a smile on the corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth: "You were crying and begging me to buy it. I had no choice but to agree..."

"Impossible!" Su Chen interrupted his words with a blushing face, but after it was over, she didn't know how to refute, so she could only stammer and change the subject, "I, I... Let's go down quickly, I'm hungry... "After finishing speaking, walk down quickly.

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng stopped teasing him, and hurriedly followed him: "Slow down, be careful."

The bottom of the canyon was filled with fog. They found a flat stone and sat down to have lunch. Then they walked around the bottom of the canyon and started to go up.It was already evening when we returned to the hotel entrance, Zhou Zheng went to rent a big tent, and the two of them worked together to set it up. Su Chen went to the hotel to retrieve the luggage and took out the sleeping bag in the bag.

At night, Yishan Mountain is quiet. The mist in the mountains blends the distant scenery with the night. The clouds cover the stars and the crescent moon in the sky. Only a warm yellow street lamp provides a glimmer of light for travelers coming and going at night. .

Considering the size of the two of them, Zhou Zheng rented the largest tent here, but even so, after the two hiking bags took up a large area, the space left for the two of them seemed a little cramped.Su Chen put the two sleeping bags close together, borrowed the place in the hotel and after washing, he randomly picked one and got in. When Zhou Zheng came back, he saw Su Chen nestled in the sleeping bag with only one head protruding, like a huge silkworm.

"Is it cold?" Zhou Zheng asked while locking the tent.

"It's not cold," Su Chen replied, "It's a bit cramped, but it's quite comfortable."

Zhou Zheng took off his coat and put it on the two sleeping belts, and he also got in. The two of them were head to head, and there was no dream all night.

The next morning, Su Chen woke up early to watch the sunrise. After he got dressed, the alarm clock set at 04:30 on his phone rang.They quickly finished their breakfast and hurried all the way to Guangmingding. There were already many people standing on several viewing platforms, and there were several photographers with tripods.

The chance of seeing the sunrise in Yishan is about 50.00%. It can almost be said that it is all luck. The weather in the mountains changes several times a day, so Zhou Zheng does not have much hope.

But their luck today is obviously good.Half an hour later, the east gradually lit up with an orange-red light, and the travelers on the viewing platform were a little excited when they saw this, making the entire Guangmingding more lively.Not long after, in everyone's anticipation, a round of red sun jumped out from under the sea of ​​clouds, and the entire sea of ​​clouds was dyed orange-red by the sunlight, making it look gorgeous.

After watching the sunrise, Su Chen has been in a very excited state. The two main peaks of Yishan Mountain are open in turn. After asking Zhou Zheng which one they went to last time, Su Chen asked the service point along the way The staff learned that the main peak that is open today is also that one.

Su Chen asked Zhou Zheng enthusiastically as he walked, "Do you think the lock we hung is still there?"

"I don't know." Zhou Zheng replied, "But it's been more than ten years, I guess it should be rusted."

They climbed to the rest platform closest to the peak. The small shop selling concentric locks ten years ago is still there, but it is completely the same. Not only have several styles of concentric locks been added, but also new businesses have been launched.

"This lock can be engraved by yourself!" said the uncle who sold the concentric lock.

Su Chen took the simplest lock, and Zhou Zheng paid the money. Under the guidance of the uncle, Su Chen engraved the names of the two people, and then took the lock to the railing to hang.The railing next to it has long been occupied by the locks that have been hung up over the years. The bottom lock is already rusty, but the upper lock is still brand new, and the writing on it is clearly legible.

Su Chen held the lock he had just carved in one hand, and picked up the rusty locks hanging on the railing with the other hand to see if he could find the one they hung back then, Zhou Zhengzhan On the side, he also picked up a lock to look at it.

The lock in his hand was already full of rust, Zhou Zheng looked at it for a long time before he could barely make out the characters engraved on it: Su Chen, Zhou Zheng, there is a heart in the middle of the two names, probably because the shopkeeper wanted to It looks good and was engraved on it.The lock was cool in his hand, and the rust on the lock rubbed against Zhou Zheng's palm. With the moisture of the morning mist in the mountains, Zhou Zheng stared at the lock for a long time before calling Su Chen: " found it."

Su Chen turned her head: "What?"

Zhou Zheng pointed to the concentric lock in his hand.

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, then ran over quickly, and asked in surprise, "Did you really find it?!"

Zhou Zheng handed the concentric lock to Su Chen's hand, and watched the young man hold the lock in his palm as if he had found a treasure, and looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Turns out it's been so many years.

When he accompanied that child to hang the concentric lock here, how did he ever think that the two of them would have such a day?

I will come to this place again and hang a real "concentric lock" again.

Su Chen hung the newly bought lock with the old one. Zhou Zheng waited for him to hang it up before taking out a tissue and pulling Su Chen's palm to help him wipe off the dew and rust on his hands.Su Chen took a picture of the two locks with his mobile phone and showed it to Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng glanced at the two locks on the screen that seemed to be attached to each other, turned his head and kissed Su Chen on the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go."

Su Chen was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and let out a "hmm", followed Zhou Zheng to continue walking to the top of the mountain. Zhou Zheng held his hand and saw that the tips of his ears protruding from his black hair were red.
