In the midsummer afternoon, the air is still so hot.
On the road, most of the anxious pedestrians hurried away with umbrellas. In this horrible weather, they didn't want to stay outside for even one more minute. The sycamore trees drooped their branches listlessly, letting the cicadas hide on them and do whatever they wanted.
Chirping. The street vendors forgot to shout, squatting beside the stalls and taking a nap lazily...
Anxiety, boredom, depression, and suffocation pervade the entire city!
Xia Haoran was walking on the street alone with his schoolbag on his back. Looking at the people coming and going on the street, he felt in a daze that he seemed to be outside them and seemed so out of place.
Maybe it’s because the dusty soul in my body has been suppressed for too long!
Suddenly, there was a harsh sound of braking in Xia Haoran's ears, followed by a sharp curse: "Boy, do you have eyes just to vent your anger? Don't come to me if you want to touch porcelain, it's really unlucky!"
Xia Haoran looked up and saw a car of an unknown brand parked less than two meters in front of him. It turned out that he had wandered off the sidewalk because he was thinking about something, and unexpectedly jumped onto the motorbike without even noticing.
In the driveway, he was even treated as a cheat. Seeing that the man scolded him harshly, he could only pretend that he didn't hear it, lowered his head and walked aside obediently.
Facing other people's accusations and curses, Xia Haoran could only protest a few times in his heart.
I have no choice but to make a fool of myself just now. You must know that this incident of cheating is the most despicable behavior nowadays. Once this matter is spread out today, then my old face that has lived for more than ten years will be...
Lost all.
When the car owner saw Xia Haoran knowingly stepped aside, he honked the horn arrogantly, and the car whizzed past Xia Haoran. A heat wave mixed with the car's exhaust hit his face, and the car owner could still faintly hear the sound in the air.
He scolded: "These days, even middle school students are learning to play porcelain. People's hearts are really not old, and the world is getting worse!"
Xia Haoran felt angry again after hearing this, but what else can he do now besides being angry? He can't be like in the old days, when they disagreed and drew their swords at each other; let alone follow the fashion of the "second generation" in today's society.
The way to do it is to beat him to death with money. After all, I am in the wrong. Even if I feel a hundred thousand unhappy, I can only knock out my teeth and swallow it.
Xia Haoran shook his head vigorously, leaving the embarrassing incident behind him, and continued walking forward.
…
Today is the last day of the final exam for the second semester of the second semester of high school. After only two days to get the transcript, school will be on summer vacation. At the same time, it also marks that the senior year of high school is coming, and the black "June" is not far away.
For students, vacation is undoubtedly the happiest thing, but Xia Haoran's mood at the moment is extremely bad!
Hongqi Middle School is a provincial key middle school. It has been able to send many talents to major universities across the country throughout the college entrance examination. It is one of the two most famous middle schools in Lingnan City.
Xia Haoran's grades have always been among the "top five" in his class, and of course he is among the bottom. In the eyes of all the teachers in the subject, he has always been a dispensable and marginal student.
Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Xia Haoran felt miserable!
Xia Haoran's body has been weaker than that of his peers since he was a child. Years of suffering from illness have made his small body appear thinner and thinner than ordinary people. He vaguely remembers that his parents took him to various major hospitals to get tested.
As a result, he was helpless to find that all his physical data were normal. However, in terms of traditional Chinese medicine, a situation like Xia Haoran's is just "insufficient qi and blood", but there is no traditional Chinese medicine doctor for this.
Can accurately explain why.
Lack of Qi and blood?
Damn it!
Xia Haoran doesn't think so.
Because of his health, Xia Haoran has been exercising over the years and has never stopped! During this period, he also took countless precious supplements and supplements, but to no avail...
This phenomenon is very strange!
The hidden physical illness became Xia Haoran's fatal wound. No matter how hard he worked, and even put in several times more diligence and effort than ordinary people, he was rewarded with disappointment and despair again and again.
Studying is a student's bounden duty! Because his academic performance failed to improve, all the teachers in various subjects were very disappointed with him, and most of his classmates also looked down on him.
Since then, Xia Haoran has become more and more taciturn.
His young mind developed a strong sense of inferiority and depression, and he was withdrawn and introverted, rarely speaking. Therefore, Xia Haoran had no friends, no confidants, and no playmates in his life...
In this lonely world, only his parents are his only ones!
…
Xia Haoran recalled it carefully, and he cursed God more than once in his heart, why should he treat himself like this!
He suddenly thought of his parents again. The poor parents still worked hard every day for his unsatisfactory son. Every time he thought of his parents' eyes of concern and hope, Xia Haoran's heart felt like a knife.
I felt so uncomfortable. I hated myself for being so incompetent, for disappointing them again and again, and for making them despair again and again.
Xia Haoran's parents are ordinary workers in the factory. They earn a monthly salary that doesn't provide enough food and clothing. The family's life is not rich. In addition, over the years, his parents have taken him everywhere to seek medical advice, but nothing has happened.
Spend less money. Not to mention anything else, but now a family of three is still crowded into a unit of only more than 40 square meters, which shows a lot of problems.
Xia Haoran has fantasized more than once: If God can give me another chance to have a healthy body, then I will definitely take advantage of it, study hard, and be admitted to a first-class university in China. I am not a waste! I am
You must rely on your own efforts to let your parents live a good life and never let them worry and suffer again.
It’s not like he only dreams about himself failing in the college entrance examination due to poor grades, and his parents crying and feeling heartbroken and helpless. Moreover, that scene has appeared to Xia Haoran countless times in his sleep.
, every time he wakes up, all he is left with is deep self-blame and endless regret...
Xia Guohao and Lin Shufen know Xia Haoran's academic performance well. Therefore, every time the family gets together, the topics they talk about rarely involve academic matters. Although their parents are very concerned about Xia Haoran's academic performance.
, but never criticized him. He just kept smiling and comforting, "It doesn't matter if you didn't do well in the exam this time. We have plenty of time. Just work hard next time."
But Xia Haoran knew that behind the smiles of his parents, there was deep disappointment and sadness! All of this was obviously caused by his unfulfilled son.
"Ah...ah..."
Thinking of this, the tearful Xia Haoran could no longer suppress the unwillingness and resentment in his heart, and shouted to the sky. At the same time, he hit the sycamore tree pole on the roadside with his fist, shaking the sycamore tree as thick as a bucket.
There was a moment of swaying.
Xia Haoran's actions naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Isn't this kid out of love?"
"Maybe I failed the exam."
"Oh, today's middle school students have such poor psychological quality!"
…
After venting, Xia Haoran slowly came back to his senses.
When he heard the pointing and a few words from passers-by, even Xia Haoran, who had developed an indifferent and indifferent face towards the cold eyes of others over the years, was a little overwhelmed. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and ignored the back of his hands.
Pain caused by the bloody flesh, he lowered his head and walked forward quickly.
However, Xia Haoran shouted in that voice that he was in a great mood now and had renewed his longing for the future life. He firmly believed that as long as he was stronger and stronger and survived this difficulty, who could have predicted the result?
Woolen cloth?
In this life, no one has smooth sailing, twists and turns, ups and downs, this is the complete life! Thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in the west of Hexi. As the saying goes, it may be today or tomorrow, it belongs to you.
That opportunity will come sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xia Haoran was filled with fighting spirit!
"It seems that, as passerby A just said, my psychological quality is indeed not up to par. No matter you are happy or sad, days will pass day by day... Instead of this, why don't I change my way of living and start a new life?
How about facing every day happily?"
Following his thoughts, Xia Haoran suddenly made the decision to go out for a walk. The world is a big place, so take advantage of this summer vacation to go out and have a look and relax.
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa and watched TV. Xia Haoran expressed his thoughts tactfully. The parents looked at their son with loving eyes and finally agreed to his request.
Due to their son's poor health, his parents doted on Xia Haoran. Usually, as long as it did not violate some principled questions or requests, most of the time, the family would just let him go.
Originally, the mother was a little reluctant to let go. After all, her son had never left her sight as he had grown up. Suddenly, she heard that her son was going to travel far away, and she felt extremely worried! But when she saw her son’s expectant look,
With the look in her eyes, and her husband’s comfort and persuasion from the side, she finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In Xia Guohao's words: "Boys, sooner or later, have to learn to be independent and start a family. Now Xia Haoran is 17 years old. If he had already had a wife and children in the old society, it doesn't matter if he goes out for a walk now, people have to learn to be slow.
Grow up slowly!”
Early the next morning, Xia Haoran took the 10,000 yuan given by his mother in his arms and went out under the instructions of his parents.
---------------
Huashan Mountain is one of the Five Mountains. With an altitude of 2,200 meters, it is a national scenic spot in China. The dangerous peaks stand tall and towering. Since ancient times, it has been said to be "the most dangerous mountain in the world". In the thousands of years of Chinese civilization inheritance, it has a relatively
It has special sacred meaning and symbol. According to ancient legends, Huashan Mountain is part of the "Buzhou Mountain" of Tianzhu.
This makes this "most dangerous mountain in the world" even more mysterious.
Huashan Mountain is not only majestic and dangerous, but also steep, with thousands of tall walls and towering peaks. It is famous for its steepness! Because of this, Huashan Mountain has attracted countless tourists and brave people over the years. Strange dangers can inspire people's courage and wisdom.
, and the spirit of climbing without fear of difficulties and obstacles, can make people feel the magnificence of the motherland's mountains and rivers immersively.
It was a hot day in June, among the dense green pines and green cypresses, strange and dangerous peaks rose straight into the sky. Amidst the faint clouds and mist, a steep and narrow plank road looked like a winding mountain.
The long snake is looming, heading straight to the top of the mountain, as if it is a ladder reaching into the sky, making people shudder!
Tourists are swarming up the steep plank road, their heads are trembling, and the flow is endless. Those taking pictures, chatting, enjoying the cool air, and having fun... bring endless excitement and vitality to this place.
Chaoyang Peak.
In an inconspicuous jungle corner, Xia Haoran was sitting there lazily, looking at the looming mountain peaks in the clouds in the distance with blurred eyes, falling into a deep state of dementia...
Night fell, and Xia Haoran was still sitting there. The faint light of the crescent moon slowly enveloped the majestic Huashan Mountain, and the cold moonlight covered the cloud-shrouded Chaoyang Peak with a silvery light curtain, lonely and quiet, bright and clean.
gorgeous!
Suddenly, Xia Haoran, who was sitting quietly, opened his eyes. An unexplained throbbing arose from the bottom of his heart, rushing straight into his mind. He was stunned and shook his head in confusion, but the throbbing seemed to be getting stronger.
, seems to indicate something...
What's going on?
Xia Haoran raised his head and saw that the sky was covered with stars and the night stars were all normal. Xia Haoran shuddered faintly, it was really weird to go out this time! He thought secretly in his heart: "According to the Taoist principle of 'phases arise from the heart'
Numerology, the throbbing just now seems not without reason. So, what does this indicate?"
The night in the mountains was very cold, so Xia Haoran tightened his clothes. At this moment, the moon was in the middle. Chaoyang Peak was under the holy moonlight, with a faint silver light and full of fairy spirit, adding a bit of fairy-like loneliness.
At this moment, a brilliant light suddenly bloomed in the misty clouds at the top of Chaoyang Peak, forming layers of brilliant haloes. The dazzling light made people dare not look up.
"What a nice view!"
Xia Haoran was immediately stunned by this beautiful and magnificent sight. The carvings of nature are truly amazing!
"call out!"
Deep in the starry sky, an extremely shining meteor appeared out of thin air, streaking diagonally across the sky in a straight line, and disappeared after a moment.
"meteor!"
Xia Haoran also saw a shooting star dragging a long white rainbow flying across the very high night sky from a distance. He immediately looked carefully, but unexpectedly, the white rainbow came straight towards him like lightning. He couldn't help but be startled and muttered:
: "No way, this meteor is not coming to find me, right? What the hell, when I was a child, I often heard people in the village say, 'When a meteor falls from the sky, it means that someone on the earth is about to die.' Could it be that, I
Is this life really not too far away?"
At this time, Xia Haoran's first thought was to run away, as far as possible. However, sitting quietly for a long time made his legs numb and unable to move at all. He could only watch the white rainbow rushing straight towards him.
It enters the center of one's eyebrows, and then disappears...
As the white rainbow sank into Xia Haoran's eyebrows, the vision on Chaoyang Peak slowly disappeared. After a moment, the world was as silent as before, as if nothing had ever happened.
