as always

After that, every night at exactly nine o'clock, Yu Yange would send a text message on time. The content was undoubtedly a cold joke, plus the final address that left Cheng Lin speechless.From the beginning to the end, Cheng Lin didn't reply, and Yu Yange didn't send any extra text messages.Cheng Lin's attitude was within Yange's expectations, but on the other hand, even if he didn't return, Cheng Lin knew that Yu Yange was not the kind of person who would give up easily.

Cheng Lin is an insecure person.

Yu Yange has always been aware of this, and this is one of the reasons why Cheng Lin's character was formed.And I know that Yu Yange summed it up after he went to Cheng Lin's house.

In high school, Yu Yange's class was the top class, that is, the best class in the whole year.But in the last semester of the third year of high school, Cheng Lin suddenly asked for a few days off. Although Cheng Lin didn't change much in the eyes of others, Yu Yange immediately felt that something was wrong with Cheng Lin.And Cheng Lin is the kind of person who hides something in his heart and won't tell others. In view of this, Yu Yange intends to find an excuse to go to Cheng Lin's house to find out.

He still clearly remembers Cheng Lin's expression of surprise, hesitation and helplessness when he proposed to go to Cheng Lin's house.It was the first time for him to see so many expressions on Cheng Lin's face. Although it was fleeting, Yu Yange caught it accurately.

After finishing her lessons at school on Saturday afternoon, Yu Yange followed Cheng Lin home with a change of clothes.After a two-hour drive, when Yu Yange couldn't help getting motion sickness, they finally arrived at the station, but they just arrived. Cheng Lin said that there were still about 10 minutes to go.

Cheng Lin lives in a rural area where there is only one flat concrete road leading to the station.On both sides of this path are various uneven houses, with two or three floors, and the surroundings of the houses are all fields.After entering again, only the left side of the road is a house, and the other side is a not-so-high mountain.

Cheng Lin gave a brief introduction to Yu Yange: It is said that this mountain was requisitioned during the Anti-Japanese War. There are many caves dug at the back of the mountain, some of which even have human bones in them.However, this mountain is also abandoned now, and the people in this village and the surrounding area are basically buried on this mountain when they die.

Yu Yange listened to Cheng Lin's introduction in a cool and unwavering voice, while carefully observing the surrounding environment.Indeed, as Cheng Lin said, this mountain is full of tombs, some of which are covered with weeds, some of which even cover the tombstones, it seems that they have been abandoned, and no one has come to clean them for many years .

Seeing Yu Yange staring at a deserted grave and slowing down, Cheng Lin's gaze also fell on that deserted grave, and quietly uttered a sentence that shocked Yu Yange: "My father's grave is also on this mountain. ".

Turning around, the eyes of the two met. Seeing Yu Yange embarrassed and guilty like a child who did something wrong, Cheng Lin looked into his eyes with a calm face: "He passed away when I was seven years old."

Only then did Yu Yange understand the meaning hidden in Cheng Lin's expression when he said he was coming to Cheng Lin's house.

"I'm sorry." Yu Yange, who has always been eloquent, also felt the weakness of his words. At this moment, he could only find these three words in his mind.

Cheng Lin glanced at him, nodded, "Yes", turned around and continued walking forward, Yu Yange followed closely, and reached the destination in silence all the way.

Cheng Lin's house is at the end of the village, along a gravel path is the neighboring village.There are still endless fields on both sides of the gravel road.People here are still cultivating the fields. It is late autumn, and the golden rice fields are dancing with the wind, and you can faintly smell the grass fragrance of the mature straw in the autumn fields.

Cheng Lin took out the key and opened the gate. Yu Yange found that there were several villas near Cheng Lin's house, and what was curious was that all the houses on the left side of the road had gates. The gates and walls separated everything inside from the outside world. They are isolated, and Cheng Lin's family is no exception.

What made Yu Yange sigh was that Cheng Lin's family was very big.For Yu Yange, who has lived in an apartment since he was a child, Cheng Lin's house is not that big. Except for the three-and-a-half-story building, the front and back spaces can almost be used to build a basketball court.

Following Cheng Lin into the house, Yu Yange kept looking around.Although the house is large, it has not been decorated and is rough.Cheng Lin put down his schoolbag, moved a chair and sat outside, then seemed to remember the existence of Yu Yange, turned around and said to him: "You do what you want." Leave him alone.

Yu Yange laughed, put down his schoolbag, and moved a chair to sit next to Cheng Lin.This side is blocked by the wall, so I can only look up at the sky.Cheng Lin just looked at the sky quietly, but Yu Yange still noticed that Cheng Lin at home was a little different from school.At school, he was indifferent at most, but now Cheng Lin has a kind of indifference that rejects others thousands of miles away.At this time, Yu Yange didn't know if the decision to come to Cheng Lin's house was wrong. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and if some hidden secrets are discovered, it will only bring embarrassment to both parties.

"Do you want to take a look outside?" Cheng Lin put away Yu Yange's seemingly indifferent expression, but in fact he was just thinking about how to entertain this guy.

"Okay!" Yu Yange looked at Cheng Lin's clear eyes, blinked, and smiled happily.There is also a platform door in front of Cheng Lin's house. After opening the door, people's eyes can't help but shine.They sat inside just now like frogs in a well, looking at the inherent sky above their heads, without knowing the beauty of the wilderness outside.

One meter away from Yu Yange was the paddy field. He could touch the full grains by squatting down, and he did so. He even pulled a handful of grains and held them in front of his eyes for careful observation.

Cheng Lin patted him on the head: "This field does not belong to my family. If its owner knows your behavior, be careful that he beats you."

"So stingy!" After hearing this, Yu Yange sprinkled the grains in his hand into the distance.

"Shouldn't it be destroying the image of the peasant uncle in your heart?"

Yu Yange stood up and laughed, and followed Cheng Lin to the field path called "field ridge".This can only be called a trail, and it can only accommodate the width of two feet.Cheng Lin turned around and asked, "How is it? Can you adapt?"

"What's so difficult about it?" Yu Yange was about to walk with his chest straightened out, when a frog accidentally jumped onto his newly lifted foot.The two were stunned for a moment, and Yu Yange also saw the faint smile on Cheng Lin's face. He moved his feet, and the frog immediately jumped into the rice field and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Although he boasted about going to Haikou just now, Yu Yange still walked very carefully on this road. He kept looking down at his feet, not daring to look at the surrounding scenery. , It would be a crime to crush a piece of rice to death.Seeing Cheng Lin walking leisurely in front of him, Yu Yange called out, "Pho, do you often take the road along the ridge?"

Cheng Lin's voice floated ahead: "Which farm kid can't walk? A seven-year-old kid can walk faster than you, and I can still run."

"Then run and show me!"

"If you say run, I'll run." Cheng Lin stopped not far away and waited for Yu Yange speechlessly.Afterwards, both of them went on the "Avenue", and Yu Yange pointed to the big circle surrounded by dirt not far away and asked Cheng Lin: "What is that?"

"It's a fish pond." Cheng Lin said as he took the lead to lead the way, and Yu Yange chased after them. The two walked side by side, and suddenly there was a third person, who turned out to be a puppy, trotting along with them.Yu Yange stared at the puppy curiously.

"Phosphorus!" He pointed at the puppy, "Your family?"

Cheng Lin shook his head, "The neighbor's."

"Know you?"

"Yeah." Cheng Lin nodded, called "Brother Mao" and ran forward.When the puppy heard Cheng Phosphate calling it, it barked excitedly, jumped and spread its four short legs and ran after Cheng Phosphate, and Yu Yange also chased them with great excitement.What's funny is that not long after, a few puppies came up behind them, chasing and rolling with Brother Mao.

In the end they failed to go, because there were several fierce big dogs guarding it.In Cheng Lin's words, the fish pond is actually nothing to see, a pool of water with a few floats floating on it, and a few fishes under it, that's all.At that time, Yu Yange thought that everything would become very simple with Cheng Lin. He seemed to have looked down on everything a long time ago.
