How to be a patron

After staying in the woods for a while, the girls couldn't bear the harassment of mosquitoes after seeing the freshness of the fireflies, so they asked Gou Meng to take us back.I stood where I was for a moment, watching the small, feeble point of light disappear, twinkling, into the distant darkness.

Far away from the urban area, the stars in the night sky are extraordinarily bright, and fires are prohibited in the mountains, so we put flashlights in one place and chatted around the bright light.Someone brought beer, and he took it out generously at this time, and gave it to each of the adults present, and the children were surrounded by the adults to drink.

At the beginning, we were all talking about mountain bikes, competitions and players. I was not very interested, and I fell asleep.As the night gradually deepened, a few brave girls began to tell ghost stories. Some children were afraid, and the adults led them back to the tent to sleep. Unknowingly, there were only seven or eight people left outside.

I didn't want to confess, and Gou Meng didn't intend to go back to rest, so we continued to listen to the girl with the ponytail excitedly tell about the supernatural events she so-called "personal experience".

Just when she was talking about the critical moment, the towering ancient tree behind me suddenly let out a "squeak".

"Ah, wow, wow!" I shrank my shoulders in fright.

Everyone raised their eyes to look at the treetops with doubts on their faces, only to see a small black shadow quickly escape out of sight.

"It's probably a squirrel." The girl held her chin nonchalantly, "Where did I just say that?"

"Wait a minute," I still confessed, "I'm sleepy, go back to sleep first."

Hehe, there was a low laugh in the crowd: "Are you scared?"

"Fortunately, I'm really sleepy." I rubbed my eyes on purpose, put on an expression that I can't do it, I'm really going to be a dog, and staggered towards my tent.

After I tucked into my sleeping bag, my drowsiness disappeared. I couldn’t see the flashlight light clearly in the distance, and the tent I was in happened to be the outer edge, surrounded by the terrifying and infinite nature.

I moved into the sleeping bag again, closed my eyes, and listened to all directions.

I was intensely thinking about the horror stories I had just heard in my head, and the sudden sound of a zipper close at hand scared me into a cold sweat.

"Who!" I wanted to sit up, but I forgot that I was still in the sleeping bag, and I could only look like a caterpillar with its upper body upright, clumsy and ridiculous.

"Who else?" Gou Meng arranged the shoes and squeezed into the tent, "Are you still asleep?"

"I, I was woken up by you. Don't you listen?" I saw that there was still a faint light outside, and the carnival of ghost stories should not be over yet.

Even in the dark, I can still feel him rolling his eyes, with an expression of wanting to smile but not smiling: "I think you will be scared alone, so I will come back to accompany you."

Any man would feel underestimated when he heard this, I turned my back to him unhappily: "Get out, I'm not afraid."

He didn't say anything, just lay down next to me.

Feeling the warmth from him through the sleeping bag, I soon fell asleep.

In the dream, there was a green-faced and long-toothed evil spirit chasing me, I was almost out of my wits, but I did not forget to run for my life. I ran around the earth and was caught by him, but I turned tremblingly and saw that it was a dog. Meng wore a mask to scare me, and I was so angry that I fucked him.

Just when he was feeling refreshed, he was woken up unexpectedly by Gou Meng's slap.He rubbed my face: "Wake up, watch the sunrise."

I had a ghost in my heart, I just had a dream about Goumeng sauce, and now I didn't dare to get angry at all, so I got out of my sleeping bag with a guilty conscience: "Ah... what time is it?"

"04:30." Seeing that I was awake, he left me alone and walked out of the tent by himself.

I took advantage of the gap he opened the zipper to see that the sky outside was still dark, so I lay back for a while with peace of mind before getting up lazily.

A lot of people had already gathered outside the tent, and some of them probably had too much trouble last night, and they couldn't even cover up the dark circles under their eyes today.I turned around and didn't see Gou Meng, so I could only approach a little girl who talked to me last night: "Excuse me, did you see... er, Mengmeng?"

"Mengmeng," the girl was bowing her head to tie her shoelaces, and she stood up half a head taller than me, "Behind that rock, be careful when you pass by."

"...Okay." Another advantage of riding a bicycle is that you can deceive your height.

Behind the rock is a steep mountain, fortunately protected by a fence, I walked along the raised steps for a while, and saw Gou Meng sitting in the corner, with a flashlight in his mouth and a notepad in his hand. Scribble and write with a pen.

Feeling the light of my flashlight, he turned his head, saw that it was me, and squinted his eyes as a greeting.

I walked up to him and sat down: "What are you doing?"

"Well," he just said, when he found that the flashlight was still stuffed in his mouth, he quickly took it off, "...it's a diary."

I glanced at it, and there was a picture on it: "Yo, it's still full of pictures and texts, it's not bad, your painting is very realistic!"

He chuckled: "I practiced in the army. I learned sketching when I scouted the terrain."

He said it was a diary, and I didn't want to pry into other people's privacy. I thought it was a random travel journal at most, and it was not interesting, so I leaned half on his shoulder and lost my eyes, enjoying this rare quiet time.

After an unknown amount of time, I almost fell asleep again, when Gou Meng suddenly moved his shoulders, shaking me awake.

"Look, the sun is coming out."

I was blinded by the golden light in front of me. There is no shelter on the mountain. Today, there is no cloud in the sky, and the sun seems to be so close at hand. The powerful momentum is frightening.

"... Spectacular."

I have spent countless nights of sleepless nights or partying all night, and I have also seen the newborn sun on the balcony of the apartment or the door of the bar, but today is the first time I have witnessed the beginning of the red sun from such a perfect angle in such a waking state Sheng, the shock in my heart was much greater than I expected, and I was speechless for a long time, and could only squeeze out this impression with embarrassment.

"It's beautiful." Gou Meng added two strokes in his notebook from time to time, followed by my words, "For many people, the sun is hope, faith, and a brand new day."

"What about you?"

"Me?" Gou Meng's pen stopped, and the mountain peak on the paper had a rough edge. "It doesn't make sense to me, it's just that I live another day."

"Live one more day?" I didn't quite understand what he said. The wind of hunting caused Gou Meng to squint his eyes. His words were too pessimistic and negative, completely inconsistent with his usual positive appearance.

"Well. I made a promise to someone to live happily every day. This is the last task I received when I left the army, so I will work hard to complete it. A new day begins, and so does my task .”

I almost blurted out and asked him who that person was, but I immediately realized that this was a past he couldn't mention, he didn't want to say it, and I wasn't qualified to ask.

There was a wind blowing in the mountains, the wild wind had no mother, screaming like a sick child, my voice was covered by the wind: "Mengmeng, when will you tell me those things?"

"What's the matter?" Gou Meng still heard my question.

I didn't answer his question, but said: "Mengmeng, if I promise not to ask about your past, will you be with me? You should give me an answer to the question that day."

Gou Meng was not too surprised when I brought up the matter of CS that day again. He stared at me for a long time before saying, "I can't help it."

I didn't expect him to hesitate for so long, but he still rejected me. I don't know whether he was more sad or lost at this time. I was embarrassed and annoyed, and my tone was a little bit harder: "Gou Meng, I will eat and live for you." , but never treat you like a duck, I really want to be with you, not to play or make trouble, you tell me that there is no way, is there no way to go to bed or no way to love me? I think you are both Isn't it impossible?"

He sighed for a long time: "Xiao Tian, ​​you are very good, you will find someone better, who is more suitable for you than me."

I was really angry when I was issued a good person card so bluntly: "If you want to refuse me, can you find a more distracting reason! Well, it's okay not to be together, tell me about your previous shit Look, see what is unspeakable."

His body seemed to sway in the wind, and the unrestrained and unrestrained spirit that had been covering him broke away indifferently. He hugged his head in a broken state, and his voice sounded very painful: "Don't ask, I'm a Coward, I don't deserve to be with you...Happiness is just a task for me, I can't bring you real happiness. I'm just a coward."

I heard him chanting these two sentences back and forth in a dazed way, and I was a little apprehensive, thinking that he would jump off the cliff for a while, if he fell from such a height, his body would be crushed, so I quickly advised him: "Don't worry! I won't ask, don't ask, just pretend that I didn't say it, if it doesn't work, let's continue to be a scumbag, you are very talented, and I may just be inseparable from you for a while."

After saying this, I wanted to bite off my tongue.

After hearing what I said, he calmed down and smiled at me with a bad face: "Xiaotian, I think I should leave."

"Where are you going!" I heard him suddenly utter the last words that suicides love to say, and my heart jumped, my hands were ready to hold him at any time, "You, you don't talk nonsense."

In just such a moment, he has become very weak: "Xiaotian, what I mean is, I'm leaving here and going to the next place. I may go south, or I may go home."

Oh, as long as you don't want to die, it's fine.I breathed a sigh of relief, and my whole body relaxed: "Let's stay for a few more days, when the weather is warmer, we can go on the road."

I can't keep him, I can only persuade him to stay by my side for a while.

He didn't reply, he stood up and patted his butt, then pulled me up again: "Let's go, assemble."

I had a heart-to-heart talk with him (unilaterally) on the mountain. I was absent-minded on the way back and wiped my legs several times. When I got home, I saw three or four red, swollen and bruised calves.

"Is there any safflower oil at home? I'll rub it for you." Gou Meng seemed to be completely unaffected, he had adjusted his mood long ago, and then rummaged through the medicine cabinet at my house like a normal person.

"Uh, it seems that there is a white transparent medicine box in the corner of the debris pile." I felt that I was too impulsive in the morning, and now I remembered that I should move him step by step, why did I confess my love in a flash? .

Although it is no longer a nurturing relationship, it still loses the figure of my (former) benefactor.

He found the bottle of safflower oil that had been expired for less than half a year, and reluctantly touched a little on my leg: "It's better to replace these regular medicines and store them regularly."

"Oh." I put my legs up on his belly, watching him knead it skillfully, "Mengmeng, please stay for a few more days, let's go when the weather gets warmer."

"Huh?" He looked at me with raised eyebrows, and his whole person returned to indifference.

I couldn't help leaning over to kiss him, and said vaguely:

"It's really too cold to spend the winter alone."

The author has something to say: Everyone sees that the chapter mark is 14 chapters, not because a chapter is missed, but because chapter 13 is used for daily writing.

In the future, in the official chapters, daily or special events will be randomly dropped. Hehehe

And, if I want to let Mengmeng leave, Xiaotian will play a few solo...will he be beaten?
