God will take the best away from us to remind us that we get too much!

- Movie "Four Feathers"

I still remember the scene when I stood under the rain canopy outside the livestock shed of the production team and told stories to the older children and the younger children.

The big animals in the shed, some are sleeping, some are chewing. Look up at the top of the dark clouds.

This pile of children who are still ignorant will have one of the following identities in the future: laid-off workers in state-owned enterprises, middle school teachers, private enterprise accountants, small poets, and of course, more to become new migrant workers, leave the land, and go to the city with great enthusiasm.

The production team divides everything, the grain is not repeated, the pears are heh, the pork is he... Although without exception, it is all a little, a short period of pleasure is better than a long period of confusion. Whenever the grain is harvested, adults and children go to the fields in groups to "treasure hunting", from beans and peanuts to corn and sweet potatoes, which are very spectacular.

But the cattle will not be divided, nor will they be given to any private family. At that time, each brigade had a large tractor that sometimes squatted and sometimes went out to earn extra money, and it was obvious that the soul of all the work in the village was still a big animal. Grandpa had been a breeder for many years, and in addition to livestock, there were several pigs in the pen. Therefore, while listening to him talk about the world, he was able to eat a piece of cooked sweet potato and grab a handful of boiled black beans, as if it was a cattle mouth.

Grandpa's daily life is even more "empty" than someone's. He was a small middle peasant, he had been in the society for more than five years, and he looked at the family's land, grain, livestock, and farm tools, all of which had been confiscated and gone mad for a year. Then he took part in the new construction, worked as a production captain, was old and useful, and was assigned to the livestock shed.

Therefore, Grandpa is a middle-aged enlightenment teacher of literature. In his lame narration, there is a flood world, where he can turn stones into gold and fly in the sky. Now, every year, I went to the grave to worship him, and the child's promise to him was done.

At present, online writers, in front of grandpa, are all small characters.

What a large vat into a fine, a thunder dragon hanging, what a gecko crossing, a skeleton sacrifice tree, under the description of the old man is not smooth, it is also said to be painted and colorful, the ultimate transmission of the gods. Grandpa sowed a seed in the heart of a child, and in the spring, it sprouted.

The little pocket money in elementary school was bought into a villain book. Junior high school collects a variety of essay collections. High school dabbles in a wide variety of goals. In two years, I finished reading two book pavilions under the Taihang Mountain.

In the campus under the Taihang Mountain, there is a cherry blossom tree, the huge canopy shades the sky, every day when the flowers are blooming, the fragrance of flowers is pervasive, classrooms, dormitories, and even bathhouses, microcomputer rooms, which makes people very helpless, very sad.

Looking west at Taihang, walking on the green wheat field, reclining Buddha Peak looms from time to time. There is The Town of Yulu (the town), which is now the seat of the Luquan District Committee of Shishi City. In the fifteenth year of Tang Tianbao (756), due to the Anshi Rebellion, Luquan County was renamed Yuelu County, and there was a name for "Obtaining Deer", "Deer" and "Lu" were harmonic, which means to capture An Lushan. At first, I thought it had something to do with "Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it away". The most famous attraction of the deer is the Baoli Village, many students have been there on the weekend, and the general feeling has long been forgotten.

Before graduation, the school organized a trip to the rock rocks in Zanhuang County, and in addition to the inherent majestic impact of the mountain, only three things were remembered. One is that along the way up the mountain, there is a mute teenager who is struggling to follow, laughing and peddling his mountain goods and handicrafts, panting. One is the Yellow Dragon Cave on the mountainside for two dollars, go in to see, it is really a deceitful ghost, forced inside the cave, a large dog-style clay sculpture "Yellow Dragon", ugly out of the circle. The last thing is to watch the thunder and lightning at the top of the mountainside, climb to the top of the mountain, but see an abandoned hut, full of garbage.

The most obvious "sequelae" is that many years after that, there will be tourism, straight to the natural scenery. Natural, not necessarily the best, but natural, although there is disappointment, it is better than being deceived by a fool.

The development of a place's scenery is the most taboo for short-sightedness, thinking that if you circle a land, you can collect money layer by layer.

Looking at the timeline, how many famous attractions did not die on word of mouth? This has led to more and more donkey friends, self-built teams, looking for secrets, avoiding those hateful big and small access control, and bluntly saying that the sky is going down.

Do the donkey friends' behavior have their own drawbacks? It is estimated that the media that can be influenced by scenic spots will definitely jump out and say "dangerous", so let's ask: There are no accidents in scenic spots? After the accident in the scenic spot, the two sides have not disputed? There is no tendency here to belittle one by one, but everything is so, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, only in people's choices, attacking each other, and it is meaningless.

It just so happens that one of the high school classmates is Chen Jun, who is an "old donkey", and once had a small gathering, he listened to the feelings and plans of the donkey friends. In fact, the old donkeys will carefully consider the unexpected ingredients that may occur during the trip before the trip, and try to minimize the unfathomable impact. However, natural and man-made disasters, up and down five thousand years, which can be calculated thoroughly? Plan into plan, then take a step, look at a step. If you want to get the physical and mental remoteness of the fly, it is impossible not to pay a little.

How ashamed to think about it. Without achieving basic financial freedom and the proper flexibility of time, becoming a donkey friend is a dream near or far. However, the study period under the Taihang Mountains is more like that.

Walking on the green wheat field, reclining Buddha Peak looms from time to time. Then, I walked to a village called Yudi, and behind Yudi village there was a nunnery called The Void Cloud Zen Forest, which was solemn. There is a book booth on the street in Yudi Village, and the owner of the pavilion is a lame woman, five big and three thick, with angry eyebrows. There are temple fairs every year in Yudi Village, and when the meeting period arrives, the crowds are crowded, from west to east, teaching people to be extremely excited.

Sometimes it would go east from Yudi to Daguo Town, then to the Flight Academy, turn back, and walk to the railway in front of the school. If it is dusk, a bowl of noodles is eaten at the Lanzhou ramen stall in front of the school, which is considered to be a tooth sacrifice.

It was as if the scenery was always someone else's. Does that sound poignant? Not really.

It was only because he was in a hurry, he couldn't stand down, couldn't sit down, and every time he glanced at it, he went back to his own snail shell dojo and buried his head in cultivation.

It always feels like there is a pair of invisible hands behind you pushing you away. This is idealism, and I really don't like it. However, whether you like it or not, it cannot interfere with the flood of inner emotions. Frustration, frustration, or a slight sense of pride, blindness, and in the end of the day, is it "playing", or "being played"?

The year before yesterday, by the shore of Namucuo Lake, how much should I enjoy the blue sky and white clouds, the holy lake of the snowy mountains? However, in front of him is the "simple" vendor holding the white yak asking for a long price, and behind him is the Sichuan-Chongqing style restaurant in the overlapping simple house, a huge confrontation steep and sharp, and the crowd is already in it.

Then the picture turns, and the trance returns to the rain eaves of the year, and the big animals in the shed are sleeping, and some are chewing. Look up at the top of the dark clouds. Looking back nearly forty years later, the almost eerie simplicity resembles a certain scene related to the big green horse in the writer Zhang Xianliang's novel "Half of the Man is a Woman".

"The surrounding area is quiet. The big green horse weakly smacked two noses, blinked two big eyes and looked at me melancholy, then rested his palate on the grass and did not move. Mosquitoes are naturally capable of chasing the smell of humans and animals, and then they all huddled together, buzzing above our heads. ”

You see! That's it.

The pile of children who were ignorant at that time, that is, the laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises, middle school teachers, private enterprise accountants, small poets, and new migrant workers, almost never got together again.

Forty years is enough to swallow up all longing and familiarity.

This is the way life is, mo dao fortunate and unfortunate. The most unfortunate thing is that people have forgotten that you still have a memory.

Then, it is easy to explain why a person is now so obsessed with guanshan.

Moreover, it became more and more silent, more and more dull, like a pine swaying in the wind.
