Crush in pairs

The Arctic Village in the summer solstice is indeed a fascinating place. It is the northernmost point in China, the closest to the Arctic Circle, and the most promising place to see the Northern Lights.

Beiji Village is a small village with a small population and there are border guards stationed there. It is usually very quiet here. Only in summer, around the summer solstice to be precise, many young people will travel long distances to travel from all over the country. I came here just to see the legendary aurora.It is said that winter is the season when Mohe can see the aurora the most, but at that time it is freezing cold, except for locals, outsiders almost have no chance to see it. After all, who would come here in such a cold weather? .

The Arctic Village is a small village in the forest. All the houses are made of wood. The locals call them "wood carvings". The wood is stacked neatly, like an enlarged wood carving toy. Very artistic.

On the northernmost edge of the village is a small river with clear and rapid water, and Russia is on the opposite side of the river.When they arrived, many people had already arrived here, and everyone set up tents in the open space by the river, waiting here for the long-awaited aurora, hoping to be lucky enough to see the true face.

Tong Yi parked the car on the side of the square, and together with Xin Jian, brought out the tent and took it to the river to set up a tent.Although the cousin is only 16 years old, he is also tall and tall. He moves his things by himself, so Tong Yi will not show his elder brother feelings.The donkey friend who hitchhiked had rich experience in wild survival, and he quickly set up his tent in the open space.Looking back, Xin Jian and the others are still slowly setting up tents.

The donkey friend ran over: "Do you want me to help?"

Tong Yi said: "Okay, help my brother, he is still studying the manual." Tong Yi had to set up his and Xin Jian's tent before going to help his cousin.

The donkey friend patted his chest: "No problem, I'll take care of it."

Xin Jian and Tong Yi brought a two-person tent, the cousin's one-person tent, and the donkey friend's one-person tent. The three tents were set up side by side. The four of them made an appointment and took turns to keep watch at night. They specialize in watching the aurora. The light is too strong during the day, and even the aurora cannot be seen. It can only be seen in the dark.

Before and after the summer solstice in the Arctic Village, the daytime lasts more than 20 hours, and the night is only three or four hours. On the summer solstice day, the night is only more than two hours. It's dawn, and it's really day and night, which makes everyone feel very fresh and fun.

The sun was still high in the sky, but it was past six o'clock, and it was time for dinner.Xin Jian said to his donkey friend, "Brother, let's go have dinner together."

The donkey friend said: "You go, I will cook for myself."

Xin Jian said in surprise: "Cook yourself? How?"

The donkey friend said with a smile: "I brought an alcohol stove, let me eat noodles."

Xin Jian: "..."

The donkey friend smiled and said, "I do this all the time on the road. Where there is water, I cook for myself, and where there is no water, I eat dry food."

Xin Jian said: "Don't eat, thank you for helping us set up the tent today, treat you to dinner, let's change your taste." It's simple, as long as it can fill your stomach. Occasionally, when you meet a loyal friend like Xin Jian, you can have a big meal and have a tooth sacrifice.

The donkey friends are a little embarrassed. Today, they took a ride with them and they still have to be invited to dinner, but the temptation of a big meal is obviously very strong: "Then respect is worse than obedience, thank you so much!"

They went to the restaurant to eat, and seeing that it was still early, they wandered around the village, both for a walk and for sightseeing. The villagers’ houses are all wooden houses. Although they are similar in general, they are different in details. There is also a simple fence surrounded by wood at the door of the house, which is not a style.

Tong Yi went to a homestay and opened a room, which was convenient for showering, washing clothes and charging. They planned to live here for several days.The donkey friends followed Zhanguang, and went there to take a hot bath. A few donkey friends around got to know them well, and they also came to take a bath.These donkey friends usually either take a bath in the wild, or take a bath in a public toilet, or even don't wash at all.

My cousin is young, so he can't understand the lives of these donkey friends: "It's so hard outside, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I'm exposed to the sun and rain. Why do I have to suffer?"

Tong Yi said: "Probably, it's just for the sake of suffering."

Xin Jian said: "I admire these people very much. This is also a kind of exercise. To endure hardships and sufferings that others cannot bear, the psychological quality must be very good. A man should really need such an experience in his life."

Tong Yi looked at him and said lightly: "If there are conditions, whoever will suffer this. Don't think about it."

Xin Jian grinned at Tong Yi.

My cousin said, "That's right, whoever has money will suffer this."

Tong Yi said: "Okay, don't worry about it being dark, I have to go to bed quickly, and I have to watch the aurora at night." After speaking, he got into the tent.

Xin Jian also went in.

Seeing that they had all gone to sleep, my cousin also got into the tent to play with the ipad.

Xin Jian looked at the bright light on the top of the tent, closed her eyes, the eyes were still bright, turned her head to look at Tong Yi, he was also looking at herself with open eyes: "Why don't you sleep?"

Tong Yi looked at him with burning eyes: "It seems like it's not dark, I can't sleep. How about you?"

Xin Jian put her hand over Tong Yi's eyes: "Then take a nap."

Tong Yi's eyes blinked, and he swept Xin Jian's palm with his eyelashes. Xin Jian felt his palms itch, and his heart was also itchy, and he couldn't bear to let it go.Tong Yi grabbed Xin Jian's hand, put it on his lips and kissed his palm, then stuffed it into the sleeping bag, turned her head and kissed him on the lips: "Sleep."

Xin Jian closed her eyes and began to sleep.On the first night, donkey friends volunteered to stay in the first half of the night, while Xin Jian and Tong Yi stayed in the second half of the night. At 12:30, donkey friends woke them up outside the tent, and it was their turn to change shifts.Both Xin Jian and Tong Yi woke up, climbed out of the tent, and found that it was finally dark, and many people were still awake, some were playing cards around the streetlights to pass the time, some were playing with their mobile phones, and some were chatting.

The two of them opened the tent door, sat on the moisture-proof mat of the tent, put on thick clothes and wrapped the blanket around their bodies, and sat close together, looking at the sky in the north.

Tong Yi helped Xin Jian pull the blanket: "Why don't you go to sleep, and I'll just watch over."

Xin Jian shook her head: "No, I won't go to sleep until dawn, it's so boring for you to be alone, I'll talk to you."

Even at night, the sky is not completely dark, the sky is like a piece of dark blue velvet cloth, covered with sparkling diamonds, like a lady's dress, the stars are closer to them than ever.

Xin Jian asked Tong Yi: "Do you think we can see the aurora? Some people have been here for several years, and they say they have never seen it."

Tong Yi said: "If you are lucky, you will meet. Didn't I meet that time?"

"I hope I can meet it this time." He thought so in his heart, but he didn't have much hope. After all, it is said that the chance of seeing the aurora on the summer solstice is very small.

Tong Yi said: "Just let nature take its course."

The two got together and whispered softly, just waiting in the middle of the night, the night wind was cool, the voices gradually became quieter, only the sound of the small river flowing could be heard.Xin Jian stared at the sky, but the sky was always so quiet and dark, and no miracle happened.

The sky was pale, and it was about to dawn. The people who had been watching all night yawned and got into the tent, preparing to go to sleep.Tong Yi put his hand on Xin Jian's shoulder: "Let's go to sleep too."

Xin Jian said: "Since we have waited until this time, let's watch the sunrise."

"Well, that's fine too."

The sky gradually brightened, the stars gradually faded, and the clouds gradually gathered together. There was a blush in the sky, like the rouge on a beauty's face. The clouds were also stained with gold, and the outline of the forest on the other side of the river gradually became clear. Some tall and unique trees with branches turned into a black silhouette under the light.

A dark red poked its head out from the edge of the forest, and after a blink of an eye, the golden light burst out, and the sun turned into a flaming golden ball, shining radiantly.Tong Yi and Xin Jian kept taking pictures of this indescribable and magnificent picture with their cameras and mobile phones.

Tong Yi said, "Xin Jian, I'll take a photo for you."

Xin Jian turned her head and asked him, "Backlight or Shunguang?"

"Let's take a photo of the backlight first, sideways. Head slightly up, yes, that's the position." Tong Yi quickly pressed the shutter, "Come on, take a few photos for me, also backlight."

Tong Yi handed the camera to Xin Jian, and he stood in the golden light with his head slightly lowered: "Okay, in this position, help me take a few more pictures."

After shooting the backlight, and then the front light, the two played for a while, saw the sun finally showed its true face, and then climbed into the tent to sleep, it was already late at night, although the morning of the North Pole had come, but People's sleep has just begun.

They stayed in the tent for three days without seeing the aurora. The summer solstice is said to be the time when the aurora is most likely to appear.Xin Jian flipped through the news and said, "I heard that Iceland, Finland and Alaska all saw the aurora a few days ago, but we didn't see it here. Is it still too far away from the Arctic Circle?"

Tong Yi said: "It doesn't matter, if we really don't meet this time, we will go to the Arctic Circle to see it in the future, and we will definitely see it."

Xin Jian looked at Tong Yi and smiled: "Okay."

On the day of the summer solstice, it was almost daytime in the Arctic Village, and the sun didn't set until after eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. They made an appointment not to sleep tonight, and waited for the shortest night of the year or even their life.

Someone lit a bonfire in the square, all of which were firewood found in the woods near the village. The bonfire was burning fiercely, and young people sang, danced and chatted around the fire, just like a festival. Of course, it was really a festival. Today, Arctic Village Aurora Festival.

Xin Jian and Tong Yi were sitting far away across the fire, listening to someone playing guitar and singing behind them. They sang "Blue Lotus" by Xu Wei. The voice was bright and clean, and the singing was very beautiful.Xin Jian said: "Singing is good, but not as good as yours."

Tong Yi said: "I won't sing for them, only for you."

My cousin came over with a paper plate: "Brother, do you eat barbecue?" The local people are quite good at doing business, and they even set up barbecue stalls in the square. The worms are hooked up.

Tong Yi said: "Is that enough for you? Give each of us a string."

The corner of the cousin's mouth was greasy: "Enough, enough, I bought ten skewers."

Tong Yi took the meat skewers and handed them to Xin Jian. Xin Jian took it and stuffed it into his mouth when he suddenly caught something out of the corner of his eyes, and when he looked up, the meat in his hand fell off: "Quick, Aurora! "

Someone has already exclaimed: "Aurora! Look! Aurora!"

Everyone stopped their activities and looked at the sky in unison. The star-studded sky suddenly lit up, the sky turned blue, and a light green light appeared in the sky, like a fairy's dress, swept away by the breeze. Blowing, slowly moving, then suddenly speeding up the rhythm, like a swimming snake, quickly twisting and rolling in the sky, everyone is stunned to see the ultimate beauty of the world.

Xin Jian even forgot to take pictures. When he remembered, the aurora was coming to an end. He took a picture of the last light with his mobile phone, but the mobile phone still couldn’t keep up with the effect of the camera, and he couldn’t see the aurora at all.He said regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't get it."

Tong Yi said: "It doesn't matter, I will take pictures."

Xin Jian was overjoyed: "Really, show me quickly."

The donkey friend next to him said: "I also took pictures and videotaped them. Let's exchange them later."

Tong Yi said, "Okay."

Xin Jian was looking at the aurora taken by Tong Yi. The aurora on the screen is extremely beautiful. I really saw it once, and I will never regret it in my life.He breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled triumphantly: "It's really not in vain, it's a lot of luck!" He has recently been with the Tong Yi brothers, and he has learned a few words of Northeast dialect.

Tong Yi said with a smile: "Finally, you can go back with peace of mind."

Xin Jian nodded: "Well, I can sleep soundly tonight! Go to sleep!" Xin Jian got into the tent contentedly, most of them still remained still, and everyone was waiting for the reappearance of the aurora.

Tong Yi also knew that this was a rare event, one time was already extremely rare, and the second time was basically forgotten, so he also got into the tent.Only my cousin was not satisfied, and sat outside with the others, waiting for the second aurora.

Eight or nine days before and after the summer solstice is the best time to observe the aurora. After seeing the aurora once, they no longer have extravagant hopes. They stayed in the Arctic Village for another night and rushed back to Mohe on the 24th. They flew from Mohe on the same day Back to Harbin.Xin Jian is still reluctant to leave this beautiful and romantic border town. There are too many things here that make him nostalgic.

On the 25th, they flew directly back to Shenzhen by plane. After traveling for half a month, they felt as if they had passed away when they returned home. When they left, he and Tong Yi were just friends. When they came back, he and Tong Yi had become lovers. , This kind of change makes him feel sweet, and he has some hidden worries. I don't know how his friends will react when they know about it. Should we tell them?This needs to be discussed with Tong Yi.

Xin Jian returned home and gave the special products brought back to grandma. After eating and taking a shower, she went to bed and fell asleep. She didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next day. The battery is out, so I quickly charged it up, turned it on, and found several messages from Tong Yi and two missed calls, including text messages, WeChat, and QQ. First, I greeted myself, and then I asked him what he was doing, which was enough. Tong Yi's anxiety and worry could be seen.

Xin Jian hurriedly called: "My phone is out of battery and turned off. I just woke up now after sleeping."

Tong Yi said: "I thought you were locked up after you came back. I was taken aback. If I couldn't get in touch again, I would go to your house to find someone."

Xin Jian giggled: "The last few days have been too hard, and I fell asleep all of a sudden."

Tong Yi said, "Do you want to go out together to check your grades? Or with your family?"

Xin Jian thought for a while: "I'll forget it at home. My dad and grandma didn't go out today, and they are all waiting for my grades." When this day came, Xin Jian was still a little panicked, even though he wanted to get along with him. Tong Yi faced it together, but he was worried that if it was not ideal, he didn't want Tong Yi to be the first to know the bad news.

Tong Yi didn't insist either: "Okay, let me know when you find it, and be the first to call me."

Xin Jian hummed: "Good luck!"

Tong Yi said on the other end of the phone: "Well, Bao, I wish you good luck too! Waiting for your good news."

Xin Jian slept very peacefully the first night. After waking up, she spent the few hours restless, standing up for a while, sitting down for a while, going downstairs for a while, and going upstairs for a while. , It's like every second is like a year.

Tong Yi remained calm, and sent a message asking him to prepare the materials for the tourist visa. Xin Jian found something to do and went to prepare the visa. When there was something to do, the time went away after a quick swipe.The result was phone and internet inquiries at five o'clock in the afternoon. It was five minutes before five o'clock. Before Xin Jian realized it, Tong Yi called him: "Are you going to check online or by phone?"

Only then did Xin Jian realize that the score could be checked soon: "I'm going to check online." He was afraid that he would be too nervous to hear the voice on the other side of the phone clearly.

Tong Yi said: "Okay, you can open the webpage now, don't worry, it will be fine."

It's no wonder that Xin Jian wasn't worried. He stopped what he was doing, opened the website, entered his test number, and waited for the time to pass.Time passed by every minute and every second. These few minutes were really hard. He caught a glimpse of the time in the lower right corner of the computer, and finally it was time. He clicked and pointed with trembling fingers, and the result showed that the system is busy, please check again later.Xin Jian was like a person who was about to be executed, the knife was about to fall, and when it reached his neck, the knife was retracted again. The person who was about to be executed only thought that he was dead, but in the end he was not dead, so he had to do it again with fear.

Xin Jian lost three times, and finally clicked on it. He glanced at the last number - 689. He felt a blur in front of his eyes, and his mind went blank for a moment, and then turned into ecstasy in the next moment. Means, he passed the exam? !

At this moment, Tong Yi called: "How is it, how many points did you get?"

Xin Jian moved his mouth for a long time before finding his own voice: "689."

Tong Yi's voice suddenly became louder: "Score 689?" There was obvious joy in the voice.

Xin Jian murmured: "What about you?"

Tong Yi was laughing like crazy: "Haha, this is great, you can definitely get into Peking University, I just said, you will definitely get in." He completely forgot to go back to Xin Jian's question.

Xin Jian hurriedly asked again: "How much score do you have?"

Tong Yi said, "712."

Xin Jian was overwhelmed with joy in an instant, it was so great, both of them could go to Peking University, ahhhhh!

Xin Yongtao ran up: "How is it, have you checked the results?"

Xin Jian said to Tong Yi: "I won't talk about it now, I will contact you later."

"Okay, I also have to announce the good news and call grandpa. Let's meet tonight." Tong Yi said happily.

"Okay." Xin Jian hung up the phone.

Xin Yongtao looked at his son eagerly, followed by grandma, who also looked at him eagerly, Xin Jian looked back at the computer screen again: "Oh, 689 points."

Xin Yongtao blinked his eyes: "What is the total score? What university can I get into?" Obviously, he is not a qualified father, and he doesn't even know whether his son's test score is high or low.

Xin Jian said lightly: "The total score is 750. I can go to university. I don't know what university." He looked at the scores on the computer screen, Chinese 127, Math 142, English 148, Comprehensive 272, English is too good, Almost got a perfect score, and Tong Yi's teaching was not in vain in mathematics. He took the test with more than 140 points. This score is enough to be worthy of Tong Yi's help.

Xin Yongtao thought for a while: "Didn't you apply for Peking University, can you get in?"

Xin Jian said: "I don't know the test scores of other students. How can I know whether I can get in or not? I won't know until the admission is over. I'm going out at night to find out the test scores of other students, so that I can know if I can get in. "

Grandma looked at her grandson's face with obvious joy. She guessed that her grandson had done well in the exam, so she said, "It's time to eat soon, let's go down and eat."

"Okay, let's come." Xin Jian took a photo of her grades in her mobile phone, closed the webpage, and then went down.

While eating, the messages on the phone rang wildly. They were all messages from good friends. Xin Jian watched while eating.Liu Meilun said unhappily: "It's not safe to eat a meal."

Xin Jian didn't even look at her: "I'm happy!"

Xin Yongtao knew that his son was admitted to university, and he was also happy for him. He said to Liu Meilun: "He announced his happiness to his friend. What are you talking about? You can't stop your mouth with so much food?"

Liu Meilun lowered her head, she didn't know how many points Xin Jian had scored in the test, she only knew that he was admitted to university.

While eating, Xin Jian checked the information. Li Zupeng scored 621 points and Xia Yifei scored 613 points. They applied to Zhongshan University and South China University of Technology respectively. This year's first line of science was 556 points. the two universities.

Tong Yi pulled several people into a group, and several people yelled for Xin Jian and Tong Yi to treat them. Both of their grades would definitely be able to go to Peking University, and Tong Yi was also the number one student in science in this city.

Xin Jian said: "Let's go out to play together tonight, I'll treat you!"

"Okay, I must kill you hard today!" Li Zupeng said.

Xin Jian was in a good mood, with a smile on her lips: "Lie down tonight and let me be molested!"

Tong Yi's private letter came: "Hook up with others in front of me, look back and see that I've done you!"

Xin Jian smiled: "Isn't it because I'm hooking you up?"
