soul mate

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when they reached the top of the mountain. Zheng Kai let them rest on the platform at the top of the mountain for a while, and then led them to continue walking along a small path.The small road is much narrower than the main road, but it is also built with stone bricks. It is not difficult to walk. After walking for about 10 minutes, you will see a few rows of board houses. Someone seems to be waiting at the door. See them He greeted him: "Is that Mr. Zheng Kai?"

Zheng Kai nodded, and the man led them to the door of one of the board houses: "The accommodation conditions on the mountain are not very good, but the sheets and quilt covers have been changed, and the far left is the bathhouse and toilet, only at six o'clock in the afternoon. There is hot water until nine o'clock."

Zheng Kai waved his hand: "It's okay."

There are four dormitories in this row of prefabricated houses, all of which are for two people. Zheng Kai Mibai, Zhao Qian and his wife, and Du Lin and his wife each have one room, and Qin Zhen has one room alone, which seems to be taking advantage.Zheng Kai pointed to the room on the far left, and raised his eyebrows at Qin Zhen: "Then you live in the room next to the toilet? It's better to smoke you one than to smoke two."

Qin Zhen went to the front of the room and sniffed it carefully, but didn't find any peculiar smell, so he nodded indifferently: "I live in it, I live in it." Then he turned the key on the door and looked at the room.

The room was not big, and there was no window. Once the two beds were put in, there was not much space left. There were two small closets standing against the wall at the end of the bed. There was a low table and two benches next to the closet.Qin Zhen put his backpack on the low table, and reached out to touch the bed in the back. The bed was covered with cotton wool, but it was not thick, and it was hard to press. The sheets, pillows and quilts also looked clean.

Qin Zhen took the backpack and sat on the bed, took out a sheet and laid it aside, put the change of clothes and towels on it, checked the other things in the bag, and heard a knock on the door.

Qin Zhen looked up, and saw Mi Bai standing at the door and looking at him with a smile: "Is it packed? Going to eat?"

Qin Zhen nodded, put the things back into the backpack, got up and walked out.

The canteen is on the right side of the row of prefab houses behind their residence. Because of the November holiday, many members of the construction team are not on the mountain, and there are not many people in the canteen. The seven of them sat at a round table, eating and drinking. chat.The dishes in the cafeteria are very simple, and the dish with meat is fried cabbage with oil residue, but whether it is stir-fried bracken or scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, it is a rare delicacy for the seven people who have lived in the city for so many years. Zhen, Zhao Qian, Wu Qingqing and Zheng Kai even tasted a bit of their hometown from it—their hometown is a little-known small county in the mountainous area, and the wild vegetables in the mountains were once indispensable in their childhood memories the taste of.

After eating, several people moved out the benches in the room and sat on the flat in front of the prefab house to chat.

"It's so quiet here..." Mi Bai sighed.In addition to the occasional human voice on the mountain, only the chirping of insects in the mountains and the whining of the breeze blowing through the forest, the sound of dripping cars, roaring engines, and shouting in the downtown area all disappeared. .

Qin Zhen nodded approvingly: "I must sleep well tonight."

Zhao Qian laughed at him unceremoniously: "You pig, you just fell asleep after eating."

Qin Zhen pretended to shake his head and shook his head: "You don't understand this, I am full of warmth and lust|desire."

Wu Qingqing patted Zhao Qian on the back of the head: "I'm uneducated."

Qin Zhen smiled complacently at Zhao Qian, which made Zhao Qian's teeth itch.

Qi Lan looked up at the sky and said, "There are many stars today."

The others raised their heads when they heard the words. The sky was not completely dark yet, but there were already stars twinkling.

Mi Bai looked up for a while, and said: "The starry sky in winter is the most magnificent in a year, and many constellations can be seen. But I don't quite recognize them..." Mi Bai studied astronomy as an undergraduate, although he later took the postgraduate entrance examination Transferred to Qin Zhen's hospital, but the basic knowledge is still there, and it didn't take long to vaguely remember a few constellations, and pointed them out to Zheng Kai one by one.

Probably girls are interested in constellations. As soon as Mi Bai said it, Wu Qingqing became interested, and pulled Qi Lan who was also curious to ask Mi Bai to show them a few constellations, and Mi Bai enthusiastically taught them how to read constellations. , and also said a few legends that I remembered.Du Ning took Qi Lan's hand and sat beside him to listen quietly. Zhao Qian waited until Mi Bai had finished speaking before interrupting: "Xiao Bai, can you teach me too?"

Wu Qingqing looked at him strangely: "Why are you learning this?"

Zhao Qian smiled and did not answer, Qin Zhen said leisurely from the side: "I want to go back and have a relationship with my sister after finishing my studies..."

Wu Qingqing immediately reached out and grabbed Zhao Qian's ear: "Huh?"

Zhao Qian hurriedly begged for mercy: "Qingqing, I have been wronged! I, I don't want to learn..."

Wu Qingqing finally burst out laughing happily when she saw the sad and ugly look on his face. She clapped Qin Zhen's hands, then patted Zhao Qian's shoulder, and said, "I know you don't have the guts. But you also Don't think about it, if I want to know these things, I will ask Xiaobai directly, why bother to find you, a half-assed person?"

Zhao Qian looked aggrieved: "I..."

Wu Qingqing slapped his chest: "Come on, stop acting, what time is it? Qi Lan and I go take a shower first?"

Qin Zhen took out his mobile phone to check the time: "It's almost seven o'clock, you go, we will sit here and guard the door for you two."

Wu Qingqing took Qi Lan back to the room to get clothes and toiletries, leaving the five men sitting where they were and continuing to talk about the old days.

In the evening, Qin Zhen, Zhao Qian and Du Ning were the last to take a bath. There were only two vacant seats in the bathhouse. Fearing that there would be no hot water any later, Qin Zhen and Zhao Qian squeezed into one room and made do.

It was only early [-]:[-] after taking a shower, which was the golden age of nightlife in the city, but the seven of them felt sleepy one after another, and went back to their rooms to sleep without talking a few words.Qin Zhen went back to her room, put her backpack on the head of the bed, took out a sheet to cover the bed, took out a thin blanket and put it aside, after she fell asleep, she covered her body with the thin blanket, and took off the blanket again. The coat draped over the belly.

The night in the mountains was very quiet and slightly cool, suitable for rest. Qin Zhen fell asleep not long after lying on the bed. It seemed that he had a beautiful dream at night, but when he woke up, he forgot all the content of the dream.

Early the next morning, Qin Zhen rarely woke up early. After a simple breakfast, the group went into the back mountain under the leadership of the person in charge.The back mountain is still under development, and the mountain road is naturally not as easy to walk as the front mountain. At the beginning, the road was paved with gravel, and later it became a trail made by real people.The plants in the mountains are all natural, and the more you go in, the more luxuriant they grow. The animals in the mountains have never seen people. Although the birds on the branches will be startled by the footsteps when they pass by, they will not notice it. After danger, it will fall back to its original place and continue to sing its tactful ballad.

After walking for a while, two forked roads diverged. The person in charge introduced them: "One of these two roads continues up the mountain, and the other can go to see the Guanyin Statue."

"Avalokitesvara?" Qin Zhen asked strangely, "Is there a statue of Avalokitesvara on this mountain?"

The person in charge nodded: "It was only discovered during the development. It seems that it was originally a Guanyin Temple? After the temple collapsed, there was only one Guanyin statue left. Are you going to take a look?"

Mi Bai was also very interested in the Guanyin statue, and the rest of them naturally didn't want to disappoint them, so the group turned a corner and went in the direction of the Guanyin statue.

The Avalokitesvara statue is not too far away from the fork in the road, and they arrived there after only half an hour's walk. The place was indeed a temple as the person in charge said, and the ruins of the Avalokitesvara statue can still be seen around it.Because of the age, the Avalokitesvara statue was already mottled by the sun and rain, but the Bodhisattva's facial features, the willow branches in his hands, and the clean bottle in his hands are still easily recognizable.

The group of them stood in front of the Guanyin statue, as if they were affected by the surrounding atmosphere, they did not dare to speak loudly, and Mi Bai respectfully bowed three times to the Guanyin statue.

The person in charge asked: "Don't you want to ask for something? I heard that Guanyin is very spiritual."

Mi Bai shook his head and looked at Zheng Kai questioningly. Zheng Kai didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he pulled Mi Bai aside and whispered.Wu Qingqing dragged Zhao Qian around here, and didn't intend to come to worship Guanyin, but Qi Lan stood in front of the statue of Guanyin and whispered something, and then worshiped three times devoutly.

Qin Zhen stood in a corner and looked at the Guanyin statue in a daze. Something flashed through his mind, but he quickly forgot it.

ask for something?Qin Zhen reached out and touched his collarbone unconsciously.He thought of his soul mate who didn't know where he was born and whether he could meet again in this life, his heart moved, his feet just lifted up but put them back in place.

The matter of fate, since it is called fate, should not be forced.Thinking of this, Qin Zhen's heart fell back to its original place.

Wu Qingqing and Zhao Qian didn't know what they found in the grass, and they repeatedly asked them to go and look. Qin Zhen turned to look at the statue of Guanyin standing there.

The Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows and has a compassionate face, which is always the expression of compassion for the world.

Qin Zhen smiled and walked towards the grass.

Afterwards, they continued to walk back into the mountains, walking a long distance in one afternoon, and accidentally encountered a fluffy little squirrel on the road.Qi Lan and Wu Qingqing were not as strong as the others, so the person in charge cut two sticks from the mountain and used them as crutches for them.When they returned to the prefabricated room, the seven of them were exhausted physically. After dinner, they each took a shower and went back to their room to rest.

On the third day, they all got up a little late, and they didn't go back to the mountain anymore. They only played around their residence for half a day and then went down the mountain.

Qin Zhen got really busy after the [-]th. All kinds of things piled up in classes, meetings, and out-of-town exchanges made him miss several regular Friday gatherings. After a while, he belatedly learned that Channing was in love.

Channing's falling in love is actually not a big deal.Qin Zhen has known him for so many years, and he has been in love no less than ten times, with both men and women, and each time he fell in love with each other to the death, but when they broke up, he hated even seeing each other.After so many years, the boyfriend and girlfriend around Qian Ning have changed one after another, but Sun Jing is the only one. Qian Ning is neither willing to let go of his promise, but also has the heart to refuse.

Only this time, Chan Ning's love partner is a little... special.

Zhao Qian told Qin Zhen that the person Qian Ning was looking for this time met when he was traveling with Sun Jing. Coincidentally, that person happened to be the man named Wu Ye mentioned by Zheng Kai at the previous party. .
