senior [rebirth]

Ozawa Mountain is located in the outskirts of Mancheng from the west of the city.

It took a total of three and a half hours to take a taxi from Liu Hao's home to the shuttle bus point, and then take a car and transfer to Ozawa Mountain.

At this time, the Ozawa Mountain Scenic Area has not been fully established, it is just taking shape.As far as the eye can see, there are a pile of unassembled facility parts scattered on the flat ground below the mountain, and some pieces of the ground have not even been bulldozed.

The torrential rain a while ago left some puddles. The mountain suburbs dry slowly, and when the wind blows, there is a smell of rainwater and mud inside.

In the past, Lin Xi spent many years in his favorite coffee shop and rarely went out. It was only after arriving here that he remembered that he went around the Xiaozawa Mountain Scenic Area for nearly ten years. Finally, the business right was finally granted, and a ferris wheel, which was later famous in China, emerged here. Since then, it has attracted countless tourists.

Lin Xi also saw the propaganda on the Internet at that time, and the crowded Ozawa Mountain was full of excitement.

But ten years ago, Ozawayama was not what he was later.Although the loess at the foot of the mountain has been pushed out, the traces of development are still weak on the whole, and the mountain is even more lush.

There were not as many tourists as later, and the continuous blue color looked like a painting in the distance in the evening sky, which was refreshing.

Recently, during the summer vacation, people from all over the city came to climb the mountain. Lin Xi and the others asked a few uncles and aunts who passed by, and finally found the trail up the mountain.

Going up the mountain, there are dense forests on the left and right sides.

It was already 06:30 in the afternoon. The administrator saw that the three of them looked like children. At first, they didn't want to let them in. Later, Lin Xi said something, and the administrator waved his hand to let them go, but set a time for them, eight o'clock must return to the management station.

They were basically only given less than an hour to climb, and then had to turn back.

But Lin Xi was still very happy.

This was originally a small trip to cheer everyone up, and I encountered many difficulties when riding the car and finding the mountain road.Lin Xi almost thought he had made a mistake when he couldn't find the entrance on the way, but he didn't expect to be approved to go up the mountain in the end, so he ran forward for more than ten meters.

The senior is not too cheerful, and Liu Hao is more silent than usual all the way, so Lin Xi took the initiative to take responsibility for the group atmosphere at this time.

He did it a little clumsily, and the effect was not as good as Liu Hao, but he was still trying his best.

After running two steps forward, he immediately turned around and raised his voice to make a bet with Liu Hao: "Brother, let me see who can climb to the top first, summer is getting dark slowly, maybe I can go up now I saw the sunset!"

Liu Hao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled dryly and said, "Okay."

When Lin Xi heard this, he immediately turned around and ran quickly, as if he really regarded this as a game.

Liu Hao also followed.

Xu Han looked at the two people in front who moved as soon as they talked, and finally chased after him: "Be careful where you step."

"Senior, come too!" Lin Xi, who was far away, turned around and said, "I'm going down the mountain in less than an hour! You have to run fast to get to the top!"

The voice came to Xu Hanlai's ears through the mountains and sky, making him smile unconsciously, and then responded to the child: "Hey, I know."

But he didn't catch up immediately, but looked back, and then walked for a while back to the management station.

The closer to the foot of the mountain, the smaller the traces of human development, and the roads are uneven. They just came from another direction. Lin Xi, who was running ahead, wanted to go up the mountain, but he didn't notice that there was a vendor on the other trail with an old wooden cart. There are drinks and water and some food on it.

Lin Xi had been crying thirsty all the way, but now seeing the wind blowing on the mountain, he seemed to have forgotten it.

"Young people are still energetic." The owner of the vendor obviously saw the movement of the young people, and when he saw Xu Han coming from a distance, he smiled at him, his sallow face was honest and simple.

Xu Hanlai also smiled: "Yes."

He asked for a few bottles of water, bought some food, and asked the boss to pack it for him.

While waiting, I turned around and saw Lin Xi running up from the foot of the mountain.

From this distance, the child is really working hard, and his legs are kicking very fast.However, it was impossible for him to beat Liu Hao if he pedaled too fast, and it didn't take long for him to faintly feel that he was about to be surpassed.Xu Han could tell that the child obviously quickened his pace after realizing this.

His athletic ability is not strong, so fast, it looks a little funny from behind.

Xu Han couldn't help curling his lips when he saw it.

However, the terrain at the foot of the mountain was relatively flat, and Lin Xi, who was trying his best to "compete", quickly got into the dense forest and out of his sight.The arc of Xu Hanlai's lips paused immediately, then he turned his head and bowed his head to the boss and said, "Uncle, please hurry up."

The boss only thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with his friends, so he cheerfully responded, "Okay, right away!"

Ozawa Mountain is not high, and they are all young people. They thought that they would be able to run to the top of the mountain in one go in four to five or 10 minutes.But I don't want to pass the flat road at the foot of the mountain, the higher the road, the more rugged the road will be.

Lin Xi was no match for Liu Hao in terms of physical fitness. He was thrown off shortly after entering the dense forest, and he couldn't even run in the middle, so he could only shout from behind: "Brother Hao, slow down!" , be careful where you step."

But Liu Hao in front did not respond.

He was like this all the way, he didn't talk much, but he didn't look obviously unhappy. It was different from the obviously depressed mood when Guo Yu was bored at home when he left. It seemed that he just didn't want to talk.

But Lin Xi was still worried.

He wanted to chase up, but when he thought of his senior, he unconsciously looked back.

It was found that the seniors behind hadn't followed up.

Lin Xi stretched his neck, but he didn't see it. He was in a difficult situation. He looked at the front and the back, and didn't know whether to chase or not.

It was almost seven o'clock now, and the sky was turning from blue to red. Although it was not dark yet, Lin Xi knew that the time would not be much different.They came to Ozawayama in a hurry without a flashlight. If they want to go down safely, they can't turn back at 07:30.

In other words, in terms of time, they may not be able to reach the summit.

Lin Xi wanted to wait for the seniors, but he was afraid that Liu Hao, who had always been careless, would not think of these details at all, so he kept rushing up, and finally missed the time to go down the mountain safely.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xi lowered his head and took out his phone, and sent a message to the senior.

"Senior, where are you?"

After this, Lin Xi wanted to type out the reason why he wanted to chase Liu Hao first, and also wanted to tell the seniors to be careful, but he was too tired from running all the way up, causing his hands to tremble slightly, and it was not easy to press the keys.

Seeing that the time had passed seven o'clock slowly, Lin Xi pursed his lips, put away his phone and ran up, calling Liu Hao's name.

The inside of the city is different from the suburbs. The latter is not blocked by tall buildings. The higher you go, the stronger the wind will feel. The wind passes through the dense forest and falls on people, which can make people feel cold in the city in August.

Looking at the endless mountain road ahead, Lin Xi tried to chase Liu Hao while running, and when he was about to despair, he suddenly heard a voice from beside his ear: "Xiao Linzi."

Lin Xi paused, turned his head, and saw Liu Hao standing not far away with his back propped up.

He didn't continue to walk up the mountain path, but walked out along a road out of the dense forest on the side of the mountain.This road and the mountain road are connected together, like a branch that has been stepped on by countless people, and finally extended naturally, but it can't continue to lead to the mountain.

Lin Xi didn't understand the reason for this path at first, but felt that it was brighter over there, and Liu Hao was there, so he subconsciously walked there.

At the same time, he finally let go of his heart and said: "Hey, brother Hao, you are here, I just called you and you didn't answer, I'm still worried"

"Did you hit? I didn't hear." Liu Hao said, then paused and said, "Tell me, do we have enough time to go up the mountain?"

This road is not easy to walk, there are overgrown weeds on the side, and it deviates from the main road. Lin Xi walked very carefully. When he heard him ask this, he quickly reminded: "It should not be enough."

"Oh." Liu Hao responded, then lowered his head and sat down on a stone next to him: "Then I think this place is also good."

"what?"

Lin Xi finally walked to the place where he was standing just now, and turned his head following Liu Hao's gaze, his eyes widened instantly.

...It turns out that this road was stepped on by tourists for this reason.

The mountain here turns sharply, and it is almost a cliff if you go further, so the trees gradually stop growing. It is much barer than the dense forests in other places, and people can see the scenery halfway up the mountainside of Ozawa Mountain.

The setting sun hovered overhead, glowing red like a falling meteor.Following the light and height, Lin Xi could not only see the Xiaozawa Mountain Plain at the foot of the mountain, but also the village beyond the foot of the mountain that they had not visited before.

The mist rises from the chimney and connects with the burning clouds in the sky, which is the most beautiful world.

People can't help but slow down their breathing.

"Are you thirsty?" Lin Xi was fascinated by the sight, when he suddenly felt a chill coming from his face, he turned his head subconsciously, and hit his face directly on the water bottle.

"Senior!" Lin Xi's eyes lit up, "When did you catch up?"

Xu Hanlai obviously ran up too, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.However, he didn't look as embarrassed as Lin Xi. Although his breathing was more intense than usual, the collarbone that became more obvious along with the breathing also looked much better than usual.

Sweat stains slid down the black hair stuck together on the forehead, and Xu Hanlai's hair looked darker under the sunset light.He lowered his eyes and threw a bottle of water to Liu Hao: "Just now."

"We may not be able to climb to the top." Lin Xi groaned, and then said in frustration.

The scenery halfway up the mountain is so beautiful, and the peak can be seen farther, and it must be better.

But Lin Xi was afraid that these words would affect the emotions of the other two, so he thought about it and added it himself: "However, the scenery on the summit may not be as good-looking. After going up, the smoke may not be so wafting. I think Nice to see that too.”

Xu Hanlai was drinking water. He wanted to stop and comfort the child who was running all the way to the top, but he didn't want him to dig a hole and bury it by himself.

After putting down the water bottle, he reached out and couldn't help rubbing his head.

"Come here and sit together." Lin Xi smiled and pointed at a stone.The rock was in the mud, and it was obviously dirty, but Lin Xi, who had run all the way up, didn't care about it anymore.

He sat down, Xu Hanlai sat down with him, then thought of something, took out a plastic bag from the bag.

The stall owner probably wanted to keep them warm, so he wrapped it in a thick layer of plastic bags, so that there was still warmth when he opened it. Lin Xi's eyes lit up when he saw the snacks inside.

It is a kind of round rice cake, very small, strung together by bamboo sticks, exuding a sweet smell, and when bitten down, the taste is waxy and sweet.

Lin Xi took several strings at that time, and gave some to Liu Hao by the way.

"Sit for another 10 minutes at most, and you have to go down the mountain." While eating, he still did not forget to bear the responsibility of the head of the small tour group to the end, strictly reminding him.

Of course, it was mainly with Liu Hao.

The scenery on this mountain is beautiful, far away from the city, it seems to be far away from all troubles, and people's mood will relax unconsciously.

Although Liu Hao didn't speak, Lin Xi thought that their trip should be worthwhile.

And Liu Hao also proved this to him not long after. He was silent all the way as if he was thinking about something. When Lin Xi counted down and said he was going to leave, he suddenly said: "Xiao Linzi, which school do you want to take in the future?" University?"

He didn't speak all the way, such an abrupt question made Lin Xi unable to react for a while: "Huh?"

"I figured it out, I'll study hard when I start school," Liu Hao said, turning the bamboo stick with only one white dumpling left: "It's not because I want to go to a good university, I just want to go to a city with you, Where are you taking the exam?"

Lin Xi's eyes lit up. This was definitely an unexpected gain, so he said without thinking, "Capital University!"

"Yes, okay." Liu Hao nodded, then bit off the last white dumpling, turned to look at Xu Hanlai: "My dear brother, how about you?"

What he said was a bit back to the cheerful and outgoing meaning before. Lin Xi felt relieved immediately, and then became happy. While shaking his legs outside the stone, he also turned his head to look at the senior.

Under the setting sun, the child's eyes are curved, on the one hand, he is happy with Liu Hao's change, and on the other hand, he is looking forward to the senior's next answer.

Lin Xi knew too well where the senior wanted to go, and it was precisely because she knew his future that she felt that she might be able to protect him this time and let him go to a better tomorrow.So when Lin Xi looked at the senior, the light in his eyes was soft.

Seeing that the senior also bit a small white dumpling under the burning cloud, he swallowed it and thought about it, his voice was very soft, but it seemed to be very gentle.

"me?"

"I want to be admitted to Nancheng University."

Lin Xi was taken aback.

The burning cloud above his head was still surging, but the originally soft smile gradually disappeared from his glowing red face.
