South of Chutian

The off-road vehicle was restarted, and the long convoy was driving between the green mountains.After being so frightened by Li Yuechi, Tang Heng didn't even get motion sickness anymore, but after a quarter of an hour, he still felt shocked and his heart was beating suddenly.

The driver looked at Tang Heng from the rearview mirror, and said with concern: "Teacher Tang, there are mountain roads behind you. If you get motion sickness, you can sleep next to Xiao Li—even if you close your eyes for a while." Falling, it was a sharp turn, Tang Heng was thrown towards Li Yuechi by inertia, the black jacket clinging to the gray jacket, before he had time to react, he turned in the opposite direction again, this time it was Li Yuechi who fell towards Tang Heng, the green hills outside the window seemed to press together Coming over, it wasn't physically heavy, but it made Tang Heng's breathing a little messy.

The two bumped into each other like tumblers, and Tang Heng had to tense his body all the time, for fear of making a 270-degree turn and throwing him directly into Li Yuechi's arms—although this situation is normal on the mountain road, but right now, Any physical contact between him and Li Yuechi would disturb his mind.

However, Li Yuechi asked deliberately: "Teacher Tang, are you still motion sick?"

Tang Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not dizzy anymore."

"Really," Li Yuechi smiled, "You adapt so quickly."

"..."

After another quarter of an hour, the driver said, "Here we are."

The off-road vehicle was parked in the village committee's yard, and when it came out of the yard, there was a shallow creek. A few houses with wooden black tiles were scattered on the opposite side of the stream. terraced fields.After the terraced fields, there are very tall mountains. The tops of the trees make the lines of the peaks hairy, as if poking into the sky softly.

But the mountain was blocking it, and nothing could be seen except the mountain.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yuechi said.

"Look at that mountain...what's behind it?" After Tang Heng finished asking, he suddenly remembered the poem in his primary school Chinese textbook-what's on the other side of the mountain?It is the sea.

"It's still a mountain." Li Yuechi said.

Tang Heng felt that he had asked a stupid question.Behind the mountain is still a mountain. If this sentence appeared in a movie, it would definitely be able to be interpreted by young literary and art youths as a thousand-character long text. But in Guizhou, in this place, behind the mountain is still a mountain or a mountain or a mountain. This is an objective describe.Tang Heng suddenly thought, did Li Yuechi ask the same question when he was a child?But how frustrating the answer should make a child, he just imagined it, and seemed to be depressed too.

"However, there are a lot of traditional Chinese medicines planted on the mountain behind," Li Yuechi said again, "If you want to see it, I will take you there later."

"traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Well, there are dozens of fig trees, want to eat figs?"

"No need, we have a rule that you can't eat villagers' food..."

"This doesn't count."

"what?"

"The figs are contracted by my family."

Tang Heng was stunned for a moment, before reacting immediately.What Li Yuechi said was that he was not considered a villager because he was his boyfriend.

He looked at Li Yuechi complicatedly, and was about to speak when a noise came from behind him.Sun Jihao was the leader, followed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses. Sun Jihao said, "This is Teacher Tang Heng."

"Hey, Teacher Tang! Hello, hello, you have had a hard time on the road!" The man shook hands with Tang Heng vigorously, "I am the village head of Banxi Village, Zheng Si."

"Hello, Village Chief Zheng," Tang Heng said.

"Teacher Tang, this is our village party secretary, Wang Enping, this is..."

While greeting them, Tang Heng was surrounded and walked into the village committee.Sitting down in the meeting room, the village head personally handed over hot tea, and said with a smile: "It's really hard work, teachers. Here, young people have gone out to work, and the most common ones are the elderly and children. Teachers may not be able to do their jobs. Very convenient."

"Haha, this requires the cooperation of our village committee!" Sun Jihao said in a bold tone, "It just so happens that Xiao Li from your village is also here, Xiao Li and our teacher Tang, old classmates!"

"Ah? Really?" The village chief's eyes widened, his expression a little unnatural, "Haha, I only came to the village last winter, Xiao Li and his young people don't come back often, I really don't know the specific situation... ..."

There are 125 households in Banxi Village, divided into Banshan Group, Banxi Group, and Liba Group according to geographical location. Banshan Group and Banxi Group are closer to each other, while Liba Group is relatively far away.Sun Jihao smiled at Tang Heng: "Junior brother, the two groups near each other have one person, and the one far away has one person, which one do you choose?"

Tang Heng's first reaction was, which group is Li Yuechi's family in?

Before the words came out, Sun Jihao patted his head: "I almost forgot, you can go to the group where Xiao Li's is, it happens that he will guide you, you know each other well."

Tang Heng: "Okay."

Li Yuechi's family is in the Liba Group.So it was settled like this, Tang Heng took ten students to the Liba group.When Tang Heng walked out of the neighborhood committee, he saw Li Yuechi standing by the stream, motionless as if in a daze, and was about to call him, but saw him take two steps forward, with one foot on the rock by the stream, and then he bent down, Turning his back to Tang Heng, he looked like he was about to jump into the water——

"Xiao Li!" The village chief shouted, "Come and show Teacher Tang the way!"

Li Yuechi turned to look at them, then got up, and quickly came to Tang Heng.

"Let's go, Teacher Tang." He said.

The students had already boarded the car together, and Tang Heng followed Li Yuechi to the off-road vehicle they had come from.Tang Heng felt his throat tighten, and his vocal cords seemed to be rusted: "What were you doing just now?"

"Um?"

"What are you doing by the stream?"

"...wash your hands," Li Yuechi raised his left hand, the back of his hand was red, "the water is a bit cold."

Tang Heng relieved all of his strength, opened the car door and leaned on the back of the chair.

Li Yuechi looked at him, but said nothing.

The off-road vehicle drove again in the mountains, but this time the speed slowed down, and the road was much narrower than when it came. Several turns were almost close to the cliffs, which was very thrilling.

Arriving at the Liba Group, the students were led by a guide to visit them according to the groups they had divided in advance.Tang Heng has no specific tasks, but conducts some random investigations.

The two walked for a few minutes without saying a word, and Li Yuechi asked, "What happened just now?"

His face was calm, which made Tang Heng seem angry.

"Can you stop scaring me," Tang Heng said forcefully, "Just now you suddenly went to the stream, I thought—"

"You think I'm going to jump into the river?" Li Yuechi smiled, "The water is so shallow, I can't drown even if I want to."

"Halfway, you go backwards... Do you know how dangerous it is? What if you really step into the air? What if my reaction is half a second slow and I can't pull you?" Tang Heng spoke faster and faster, almost taking the whole road He poured out all his fear and fear, "Didn't you see how deep it is down there? You don't know that you will die if you fall down? You—you can't make fun of this kind of thing, Li Yuechi."

Li Yuechi stopped, his expression still relaxed.

"Do you really think I'm betting on whether I'll miss the mark?" He looked at Tang Heng with a certain smile in his eyes, "I'm betting on whether you'll let me take a third step back."

Tang Heng was silent, and said after a few seconds: "You just believe that I will stop you, and I promise you."

"Yes," Li Yuechi suddenly stretched out his hand, and squeezed Tang Heng's right hand firmly, "I knew you would agree based on the expression on your face when you saw me that night."

ok, ok.Tang Heng thought silently and resignedly, at least he didn't really want to die.Then even if he is still in the palm of his hand six years later, he will admit it.

"Have you realized it yet?" Li Yuechi patted Tang Heng's face, "We are together now."

There was no one around, only two peach trees, a vegetable field, and the faint crowing of cocks in the distance.

Tang Heng said: "So?" He still couldn't imagine that he was with Li Yuechi again.

"Come in order, let's get to know each other?"

"……Can."

"Ask questions, one per person," Li Yuechi said, "You first?"

Tang Heng thought it was a game, or it was like this, "When did you get out of prison? I mean, the exact date." However, even if it was a game, it seemed good to know something about him.

"11 years, December NO.[-]."

"Oh." What was he doing then?Just arrived in Macau not long ago.

Li Yuechi: "In the past six years, have you ever been in love?"

"..." Tang Heng didn't want to lie, but if he honestly said "no"——

"I see," Li Yuechi smiled, and it was the kind of smile that was determined to win, "you can ask."

Tang Heng was silent for a few seconds: "Who is that girl?"

"Primary school classmate, I had no money when I first came out, so I partnered with her to do business."

"She likes you?"

"That's another question, it's up to me," Li Yuechi said, "How long will you stay in Shijiang?"

"There are still nine days."

"it is good."

"Where did you buy the motion sickness stickers?"

"A clinic, only his family has it."

"..."

"The last one." Li Yuechi leaned over and approached Tang Heng, "In order, what is the better next step?"

Tang Heng looked at him and felt that he had become very small in his dark pupils, as if he was enveloping him.It was this kind of gaze, six years ago, in the chaotic crowd, under the dazzling lights, Li Yuechi only looked at him.

There are still nine days.Tang Heng thought to himself, since there are still nine days left, why bother so much?Anyway, there are only nine days, no matter whether he likes women or not, what he is thinking, no matter, even if it is a game, Tang Heng suddenly grabs Li Yuechi by the collar, pulls him towards him, and faces Li Yuechi lips, he kissed—

Then got pushed away.

Tang Heng looked at him blankly: "This is... this is the next step."

"Too fast." Li Yuechi gripped Tang Heng's fingers, his hands were soaked in the stream, very cold.

Li Yuechi said softly: "If this is the case, when you leave..."

"what?"

"When you leave, I will be reluctant."
