God said I would meet you

It was a rare and sunny afternoon, the quilt was drying in the yard, and the wind was blowing on the face warmly, like a mother's hand caressing a child's face.

Zhang Xinli went out to the fields, Lin Jinyu was alone at home, stole the raw meat from the kitchen, and sat lazily under the eaves to cook for the dog.

At this moment Laron ran into the yard like a reckless rabbit.

Lin Jinyu hurriedly hid the raw meat he stole to feed the dogs, a little surprised why Yu Lalong came here at this time.

Since that incident, many kids have stopped coming to him to skateboard.

It was also after that incident that Lin Jinyu discovered that in this seemingly small closed village, the younger generation was actually divided into two groups, from the age of seventeen or eighteen to the age of seven or eight. Zhang Xinli is the leader of the group. Most of them study in the school built by donations at the foot of the mountain. Few of them drop out of school early and go to work.

The other group is headed by Gao Wu. They sometimes go to school and don’t go to school. After completing compulsory education, or even before finishing it, they do farm work at home or simply go out to work.

Originally there was no enmity between the two groups, but because Zhang Xinli and Gao Wu had deep grievances, the two groups did not fight each other very much and rarely played together.

And the fight between Zhang Xinli and Gao Wu in full view of everyone put Lin Jinyu into Zhang Xinli's faction. Play with him again.

The children who prefer Zhang Xinli have to do their homework, prepare for high school exams, and work, so they only have time to hang out with him occasionally.

Today is such a sunny day, everyone is busy harvesting rice in the fields, if you don’t help with the work, you will definitely get a big mouth from your parents.So when La Long ran into his yard excitedly, Lin Jinyu was a little surprised.

"Brother Jinyu!" Lalong said to him, "My brother asked me to call you, do you want to go out and play?"

This is the first time Lin Jinyu has received an invitation to go out here: "Where are you going?"

"Just behind, you can play everywhere."

The two were already very familiar, he couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Lin Jinyu's hand, dragged him outside, and said while dragging: "Go, go! Grandma finally let us go to play."

Lin Jinyu only had time to pull the satchel on top, but he was dragged out of the door involuntarily.When he looked around, he saw vast and vast mountains.

La Long was obviously very happy, and the teeth of his smile looked even more white and dazzling against the golden sun and the continuous pale blue mountain peaks.

He took Lin Jinyu's hand and ran forward along the sometimes wide and sometimes narrow dirt road. His sleeves and sandals, which were so dirty that they couldn't see their original color, brought a gust of joy.

At the end of the village, on the dirt road leading to the vast mountain, Zhang Xinli, Zhang Wenbin, Mu Se, and Chen Hui either stood or squatted, and when they heard the sound, they raised their eyes in unison to look at La Long and Lin Jinyu who were rushing all the way.

Lalong greeted them loudly excitedly, let go of Lin Jinyu's hand and ran to his brother.

Seeing that familiar figure, Lin Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and said a little surprised, "What are you... don't you have something to do?"

This is the second sentence of their conversation today.

Zhang Xinli said: "Mu Sefei said that he would take you with him, in case something happened to you, he would accompany you."

"So you don't actually agree with me going?"

Mu Se interjected: "In the beginning, I firmly disagreed, but after my fierce resistance...we made a bet, let La Long call you, and his disagreement will be invalid when you come."

In fact, Lin Jinyu was basically dragged here by La Longban. He said, "Why don't you agree with me?"

"It's not safe." Zhang Xinli said, "In case of a bump..."

"Thank you for thinking about me!" Lin Jinyu interrupted him loudly before he finished speaking, and then said expressionlessly, "I think I can take care of myself."

Zhang Xinli stopped talking.

"Hey, what a big deal," Mu Se said, "Let's play around together."

Everyone knew about their quarrel a few days ago, but no one mentioned it.For them, there are not many opportunities to hang out with such a group of people. Everyone seems to be in a good mood.

This was Lin Jinyu's first time leaving her residence and actually walking into this mountain.When his father sent him here, he was sitting in the car, and when he turned his head, he could only see those conceptual greens on both sides of the winding mountain road outside the car window rapidly retreating out of his field of vision.

Here, basins and hills are staggered, and river valleys are deep, creating a rare savannah landscape.Lin Jinyu followed them along the dirt road, away from the village lying quietly on the horizon, and walked deeper.

Within a few hundred meters, the meter-wide yellow muddy road was lost in the increasingly lush weeds and shrubs, leaving only a trace that was so narrow that it could barely be called a road. .

The trees are sparse, like scattered lighthouses.

In Lin Jinyu's mind, these bushes have turned into grids in the Minesweeper game, and snakes or other biting things will fly out at any time and grab his leg.

Zhang Xinli walked through the dense weeds, stepping on grass blades and dead branches, and walked in the front, Lin Jinyu, Zhang Wenbin, and Chen Hui walked in the middle, Mu Se asked La Long to go in front, and he cut off the back.

In addition to him, Chen Hui also brought a big gray cloth schoolbag with thick stitches, probably sewn by himself, with a water cup, a short pick and some other messy things in the bag.

Compared to Chen Hui's size, this bag was too big. She carried it like a doll carrying a sack, which looked quite funny.

Lin Jinyu was a little curious, so she asked, "What are you doing with this?"

"It's used to store the things I dug," Chen Hui said. "I told my family that I could dig some Chinese medicine when I went into the mountains, and they let me go."

"What do you want to dig?" Lin Jinyu asked, "Is anyone in your family sick?"

"No, no," Chen Hui said hurriedly, "It's for sale. Smilax cocos, oxtail, etc., some people come to collect them, and they can be sold for eight or nine yuan a catty."

"Oh, like this."

After all, Chen Hui was still a girl, younger than him, so Lin Jinyu offered to help him carry the big gray cloth schoolbag.

The sky was blue and clear, and there were clear and melodious birdsongs all around from time to time. The chirps outweighed each other, but no birds could be seen.

Several people walked through the mountains with no signs, and the roads in some places were very narrow and steep. Zhang Wenbin and Lalong picked up a wooden stick and beat around in the grass to prevent snakes.

They have been walking uphill, although the slope is not big, but continuous climbing still requires a lot of physical strength.Soon, Lin Jinyu will die.

Except for him, the other five people were all wearing durable trousers, and they were all used to walking among the bushes and grass. There was no difference between walking on the mountain road and walking on the road at ordinary times.

Only Lin Jinyu wore a pair of black five-point overalls, which was youthful and handsome, but when he was walking in the mountains, flying insects and mosquitoes hiding among the grass leaves and branches all came towards his bare white and tender calves, and left. In less than 10 minutes, Lin Jinyu was so itchy that she wanted to chop off her calf.

There were also many slashing branches and sawtoothed grass blades scratching back and forth on Lin Jinyu's unprotected ankle following Lin Jinyu's footsteps, making his whole body painful and itchy.Lin Jinyu grinned and scratched all the way, but the symptoms were not cured, and it hardly worked.

Except for Chen Hui's bag, the satchel he hurried out contained mineral water, mobile phone, snacks, and a stack of playing cards.The satchel, which is light or heavy, has undoubtedly become a burden during the long journey. The bites of mosquitoes make people irritable, and the irritability makes the burden that is only slightly hard work become unbearable. Bear.

He wanted to say, let’s go back if we don’t care… Originally, he was not very interested in jumping up and down the mountain where snakes were hidden, but he just wanted to have someone to play with… But he didn’t want people to watch Flattened, so I have been gritting my teeth and not falling behind.

Sweat emerged from his white forehead, dripping down the jaw line to the cheekbones, and then fell down, smashing into pieces on the grass blades.

Lin Jinyu was panting like a cow, and she opened her clothes from time to time to cool herself off.

Gritting his teeth and walking for a long distance, Zhang Xinli, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and took the bag from his shoulder without any explanation.

Lin Jinyu wiped the sweat from her temples: "What are you doing?"

"The sound of your panting is louder than that of a cow," Zhang Xinli said, "and it is getting louder. If you walk for a while, the sound of a tractor may not be as loud as yours."

Lin Jinyu: "..."

The temperature was close to 34 degrees. After walking for more than an hour under the scorching sun, Zhang Xinli's face was covered with sweat. He took off his school uniform jacket and tied it around his waist.

He took Lin Jinyu's cumbersome schoolbag, carried it on his shoulder, and said, "Are you still going, do you want to go back?"

go back?Lin Jinyu said embarrassingly: "Do I look like that kind of stupid fool? Now that I go back for more than an hour, I'm gone for nothing?"

Everyone laughed, Zhang Xinli dug out the water from the bag, then handed it to Lin Jinyu and said, "Drink some water, you sweat too much, be careful of heatstroke."

Lin Jinyu took it, took a few big gulps, poured the water into her palm and patted her face, feeling her whole body came alive a little.

Chen Hui comforted him and said, "It's not far away, we'll be there soon."

"Okay." Lin Jinyu looked at the back of Zhang Xinli in front of her, and thought: I want to see, after all this busy work, what kind of peerless paradise is hidden in this corner of the mountain.

They continued to move forward all the way, climbed over the hills, and walked through the steepest section of the road. Zhang Xinli finally led them to the highest point of the mountain.

The green of the mountain forms a huge arc here, and the hills meet the basin, forming a horizontal "S"-shaped terrain. Lin Jinyu followed Zhang Xinli up the hillside, and before he could catch his breath, he was overwhelmed by the suddenly bright scenery in front of him. Trembling, he couldn't help but wow.

It was a crystal-clear lake, sandwiched between two mountains like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and pure white clouds, the lake was as blue as a jewel, and looked like a piece of blue-hued emerald under the sun.

Its clear water surface is connected with the sky up and down, and no words can describe its beauty. This is a magical workmanship that only nature can create.
