The trees outside the window are flying backwards, the train makes a rhythmic sound, and in the distance are the endless fields, the high sky and the vast fields, all of which are scenery that cannot be seen in the city...

After all, this was the first time she had traveled far away as an adult. Xiaoxue lay curiously by the window and kept watching. Her sadness was soon replaced by excitement. She kept pointing outside and asking questions, like an ignorant person.
My child, Liu Ziguang explained to her with a smile, he really felt like an elder.
In the late summer and early autumn, when it gets dark late, even though it is already evening, the scenery in the wilderness is still clearly visible, including farmhouses in the distance, farmers returning from pasture, agricultural vehicles driving on country roads, and geese in ponds.
There are also the unique family planning slogans on the walls of farmhouses along the railway line, etc. Everything is so fresh and interesting. Before I know it, it is dinner time. The conductor is pushing a trolley through the aisle and shouting as he passes by. Liu Ziguang plans to buy two
When I asked about the price, it was twenty-five per box. When I looked at Xiaoxue, my head was already shaking like a rattle.
"It's too expensive, uncle, I brought rice." Xiaoxue said, taking out two aluminum lunch boxes from her luggage. Inside were the lunch boxes she made by herself. White rice and various stir-fried vegetables were put together. The colors were bright.
The aroma is rich and appetizing.
Just as he was about to start, the door of the compartment was opened, and a short, middle-aged man walked in dragging luggage with both hands and a ticket in his mouth. He looked at the aluminum number plate on the bunk, and then read it from his mouth.
He took the ticket, took a glance at it, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "This is it."
The newcomer put his luggage away, sat on his bunk, and enthusiastically took out a cigarette for Liu Ziguang to smoke. Liu Ziguang pointed to the no-smoking sign posted on the carriage, and he smiled honestly, put away the cigarette, and started smoking.
He took out a small bottle of Erguotou, ham sausage, vacuum-packed chicken feet, braised eggs, and peanuts from his travel bag, and said politely: "Here, eat."
"Thank you, I brought it." Liu Ziguang declined.
The middle-aged man chuckled, unscrewed the small bottle of wine, and drank by himself. While drinking, he chatted and talked about all kinds of things. In no time, he made Xiaoxue giggle. He even took out his business card and handed it to the two of them.
, as expected, he was a salesman from a township enterprise in Northeast China.
"Brother, you got married very young, and your children are already so old." The middle-aged man said with emotion.
"Do I look so old? This is my niece. I sent her to college."
"Haha, which university?"
"Beiqing University."
"Oh, that's the best university in China. Congratulations. You have to have a drink for this."
As he spoke, he took out another bottle of Erguotou from his bag and insisted on inviting Liu Ziguang to drink. Seeing how familiar he looked, Liu Ziguang couldn't refuse, so he drank two glasses with him.
The sky was getting dark, and when the conductor came in to change the sleeper ticket, he brought in a woman who had temporarily replaced the sleeper ticket. This woman was dressed fashionably, wearing sunglasses, holding an LV suitcase, chewing gum in her mouth, and looked like a
The middle-aged salesman looked like an expert in the county. When he saw her coming in, a cold glint flashed in the middle-aged salesman's eyes. The woman was so careless that no one paid attention to her. She sat down on the bunk, took out a bottle of Nutritional Express and opened it on the small table.
, put on the headphones and start listening to the song.
After dinner, the conductor changed the sleeper ticket and turned off the headlights. Only the warm and dim night lights were on in the train. The sky outside the window was completely dark. The wheels and rails collided with each other, making a monotonous and boring sound, which lulled people to sleep.
Xiaoxue climbed to the upper bunk with her clothes on. She didn't talk much when outsiders were present. She fell asleep with longing and anxiety for the future. When she woke up, the train had already traveled to Hebei Province, and there were another hundred and ten people.
We arrived in Beijing after only 10 kilometers, and the salesman and the female passenger in the same compartment no longer knew which station to get off at. The toilet door at the end of the train was full of passengers waiting to wash up. Fortunately, there were few people in the soft sleeper compartment. If it were a hard-seat compartment,
I'm afraid I won't even be able to make it to the destination.
After washing up, sorting out my clothes and luggage, I looked at the scenery outside the window. It already felt a bit like the north. I also received a text message on my phone. The train drove slowly and stopped unexpectedly. The train announcement explained that it was a temporary stop.
Everyone waited patiently. After more than ten minutes, the white high-speed train Harmony passed by and then the ordinary express train started.
The capital is very big. It actually took half an hour from entering the edge of the city to the final stop. Looking at the bustling metropolis outside the window, Xiaoxue was a little crazy: "Is this... the capital?"
We arrived in the capital. After the train stopped, passengers got off the train one after another with their luggage. There was a huge crowd outside, a dense and dark area full of people. The train station with a grid structure was huge and magnificent. Xiaoxue was at a loss and pulled tightly.
Liu Ziguang was afraid of losing him, so they followed the crowd with their luggage to the exit of the station. At this time, the capital was still in the darkness before dawn, and the morning star could be vaguely seen on the horizon. The square in front of the station was full of people, and the police car was parked in the corner.
, heavily armed police officers stood aside with police dogs, watching vigilantly at the tourists coming from all directions of the motherland.
Liu Ziguang had only been to the capital once ten years ago, and his memory had long been blurred. When he was at a loss what to do, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking over, with dancing twin tails, a slender waist, and a cute smile like a little girl.
, it is Xia Ye, the daughter of Teacher Chen from No. 1 Middle School.
"Xiaoxue, Uncle Liu, on behalf of the people of the capital, I welcome you." Xia Ye extended his hand generously and shook the two of them. Seeing the shocked expressions on the other side, he said proudly: "My father informed me to pick you up.
Yeah, I know you don’t know the way, so just follow me.”
The three of them went straight to the subway station. The security in the capital is good. Even if you take the subway, you have to go through the security gate to see through your luggage. Fortunately, there are not many passengers in the early morning, and there are basically seats. Xiaoxue is taking the subway for the first time. What are you looking at?
They were all curious, looking here and there, but they didn't ask. Instead, they watched what others did and what they did themselves. Liu Ziguang saw this and knew in his heart that this child had quite a strong sense of self-esteem.
Xia Ye introduced: "Recently it is the peak period for new students to enroll. There are school receptionists at the train station, but you have to wait for a while to take the school bus. Why not take this opportunity to take the subway and taste the customs and customs of the capital.
"
After getting off the subway, I took a taxi to Xia Ye's home. This is a rental house located in a university dormitory area. It's an old building from the 1980s. The corridors are narrow and the room is extremely messy. There are paintbrushes and canvases everywhere.
There were also leftover instant noodle bowls and empty Coke bottles, and the ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts, which was shocking.
"Sister Ye, do you live here?" Xiaoxue said in shock, covering her mouth with her hand with an expression of disbelief.
"I can't help it, I'm too busy." Xia Ye shrugged and said nonchalantly, but looking at her cute and pure appearance, there was no connection with this messy room.
"Let's make do. After a night of train ride, let's take a shower, change some clothes, and eat something, and then I'll take you to school."
Xiaoxue took a change of clothes and went to take a shower. Xia Ye also warned: "The red ones are for shampooing, the green ones are for bathing, and the white ones are for conditioner. Don't make a mistake."
Xiaoxue agreed and went into the bathroom. Liu Ziguang and Xia Ye were the only two people left outside.
"Uncle Liu, are you going to sit here and read a book, or are you going to buy breakfast with me?" Xia Ye asked in a familiar manner.
Liu Ziguang saw a whole wall covered with books and said, "I'd better stay and read."
"Haha, take a look, there are a lot of my works in there." Xia Ye winked and went out with her shopping bag.
Liu Ziguang walked to the bookshelf and browsed around. Although Xia Ye's life was irregular, the bookshelf was meticulously organized. Various books were divided into categories. Some valuable classics even had kraft paper covers. Most of them were books related to her art major.
, part of which is her comic work.
He casually pulled out a thin booklet. The cover had a thick black and red background, and four powerful characters on the top: The Age of Orange and Red. Liu Ziguang curiously opened the title page, which read the following preface: This is a book.
A book for men, it arouses the sensitive nerves of bloody men all the time and everywhere. When you hold this book, you will find that you have entered another world, a world full of passion and impulse.
world.
Liu Ziguang was in awe, then turned down the page, but couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that this comic book was actually a youthful and passionate comic book with Jiangbei City as the background and based on the heroes of Gaotupo. Xia Ye used delicate brushwork to outline
The story of how a group of young people at the bottom of society struggle and struggle.
It has to be said that Xia Ye's painting skills and screenwriting ability are not overshadowed. Looking through the comics, Liu Ziguang found the feeling he had when he was watching "City Hunter" in junior high school. The more he read, the more interesting he became. He smiled when he saw the interesting parts.
I lamented that this girl in Xia Ye was so stupid that she even painted herself as Chen Haonan.
After a short time, Xia Ye went upstairs carrying pancakes, fruits and bean paste rubber rings. She was so tired that she put the things on the table and said with emotion: "People are confused when they see me. They haven't seen me show up so early in several years."
After that, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I bought some at random, including capital-specific breakfasts and regular ones, you can make up your own mind."
Xiaoxue happened to take a shower and came out of the bathroom. Her long wet hair, rosy face, delicate skin that could be broken by blowing, and her white dress made Xia Ye look stupid: "Oh, Xiaoxue, don't
move!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a SLR camera from a pile of waste paper, snapped a dozen pictures, and then said with satisfaction: "I have material again. You won't object to me using you as the prototype for the next book."
"Haha, what sister Sui Ye means."
"I object." A voice sounded.
Xia Ye turned to look at Liu Ziguang and saw the comic book in his hand. He suddenly understood: "I declare that this story is purely fictitious. Any similarities are absolutely coincidental."
"This is too much of a coincidence, shouldn't you share some royalties with me?" Liu Ziguang joked.
"Oh, I have a headache just talking about this. This set of books has been sold out, and the price is only a hundred thousand yuan. The publishers are complaining to death, and they still haven't settled with me. This time I tried to create a youthful and passionate theme. I have completely failed.
." Xia Ye took the comic book from Liu Ziguang's hand, flipped through it casually and threw it into the waste paper pile.
"Why, why don't today's young people like to read stories about bloody men? They insist on watching Danmei and lesbians..." Xia Ye said dejectedly.
