Qingshui Green Embankment was originally a flood-resistant embankment that surrounded two-thirds of the outer perimeter of Qingshu County. Later, after several renovations by the county, it became a very beautiful green embankment. In spring and summer, the green embankment is lined with neat green weeping willows.
, you can occasionally see white rime hanging in autumn and winter.
Shen Dapeng and others have caught up with the opportunity for beautiful scenery. There was heavy snowfall in Qingshu County a few days ago. The dead branches of the weeping willows beside the green embankment were covered with snowflakes and ice crystals. The big trees seemed to be covered with snow-white wedding dresses.
Echoing the frozen inland river under the green embankment, the dazzling, dazzling whiteness is visible to the eye.
The winter scenery on the river bank has no end in sight, and the ice has become an ice paradise.
There is a special area for skates, an extra-long ice slide that rushes down from the foot of the mountain opposite the river bank, a sledge pulled by cute dogs, and a relatively simple bumper car made of large car tires...
There are not many entertainment activities on the ice, but they are incomparable with those large playgrounds. Qingshu County is also small and has a small population. However, it is the Chinese New Year, and there are many migrant workers and students returning home from other places to celebrate the New Year.
Not a few people, men, women, old and young, gathered in the small space on the ice.
Tang Wei, Li Zeyu, and Lin Xiaoxiao, who were very playful, had already rushed into the crowd. Qu Yina, Mark, and Jason were not familiar with the environment, so they stood aside and waited for Shen Dapeng.
Wang Yuying looked indifferent and was not interested in these entertainment projects on the ice. She kept staring at the roadside of the green embankment and saw Shen Dapeng walking out of the van with a sniffling nose and humming a ditty with contentment.
"Oh my gosh, it's still warm outside."
Shen Dapeng kept jumping on his feet, rubbing his hands to keep warm, then touching his ears, covering his face, and trotted to Wang Yuying and the others, "Sister Wang, Sun Dapaozi is also an old man in the company. He works hard and works hard without complaining. I am very grateful to you and my aunt.
He is also loyal and dedicated, how about we buy him a new car?"
"Change the car? You have the final say? I still have to ask my aunt if she agrees." Wang Yuying had already agreed to Sun Dapaozi's matter, so naturally she would not let Shen Dapeng become a good old man. She didn't take into account that Qu Yina and the others were still there.
He had no intention of saving face for Shen Dapeng.
"You have the final say, you have the final say."
Shen Dapeng didn't want to continue to seek abuse, so he just spread his hands and surrendered. He turned to Qu Yina and said, "Senior sister, why don't you go down and have some fun? The winter in Qingshu County is the most interesting here."
"Waiting for you, if you don't come over, who are we going to play with?" Qu Yina put her hands behind her back and looked at Mark and Jason on the left and right with a smile. The three of them seemed to have some little secret, and they moved towards Shen Dapeng together.
"Senior sister, if you praise me so much, I will..." Seeing the three people with fake smiles on their faces, and walking towards him in three positions: left, middle and right, Shen Dapeng suddenly felt something bad and was about to prepare.
He retreated, but unfortunately he was still not as fast as the snowball in Qu Yina's hand.
One goal, two goals, three goals, every ball hit the head; Qu Yina, Mark, Jason, all shot.
"Hey, senior, Mark, Jason, what are you three doing? Even if you want to have a snowball fight, is it too sudden? I'm not even mentally prepared." Shen Dapeng innocently wiped the snow flakes and water stains on his face,
The cold wind blows in winter, and my cheeks feel cold and stinging.
"Tsk tsk!!" Wang Yuying next to her was dumbfounded, looking at Shen Dapeng who was stunned on the spot with snowflakes and water stains on his face, and cast a look of pity.
She thought that playing tricks and using a van to freeze Shen Dapeng would be a small lesson. She didn't expect these three people from the capital to be so direct. They didn't say a single extra word and just greeted Shen Dapeng with snowballs.
Seeing Shen Dapeng being bullied with her own eyes, Wang Yuying felt comfortable in her heart, but at the same time she felt a little lonely. She had known Shen Dapeng for a long time, and she thought they had a close relationship, but she had never thought about Qu Yina.
Shen Dapeng and I have only known each other for a few months, but we can actually have such a calm fight.
"Deserves it." Wang Yuying rolled her eyes and whispered two words coldly.
"I..." Shen Dapeng hesitated, his eyes wandered back and forth from the people next to him, and he scratched his head innocently. For a moment, he couldn't figure out where he had offended everyone, aroused public anger, and made all the fingers point at himself.
"Sister Qu, this is Qingshui Green Embankment. We drove here from the west and followed this road to the east and then north. The entire road is surrounded by green embankments surrounding the city, just like an ancient moat.
…”
Wang Yuying volunteered to be a tour guide. While walking along the steep slope to the ice, she told Qu Yina, Mark, and Jason the origin of the clear water and green embankment.
Shen Dapeng followed slowly, like a stranger who had never been to Qingshu County. Following Wang Yuying's point of view, he re-viewed and appreciated the hometown where he was born, grew up, studied, and lived for nearly twenty years.
The mountains are still undulating, and the river is still as turbulent as before. It is no different from the childhood impression, and it is far from the feeling Wang Yuying said.
What Wang Yuying said were scenes of beautiful scenery visible to the naked eye, scenes of joyful songs and laughter, and what Shen Dapeng had in his mind were not just mountains, rivers, and trees, nor the scenes of spring and autumn, summer solstice, and winter.
It is the loss of time and memories that can never be recovered.
The ice beneath everyone's feet has frozen and turned into a thick layer of bright ice. Where there is no snowflakes covering it, even if you open your eyes wide, you can only see the darkness below. There are no fish or shrimps, and there is no water flow. It is the same as the white snow covering the top of the mountain in winter.
, silence, silence.
What the ears hear is false, and what the eyes see may not necessarily be true. Under the seemingly calm water, there are always undercurrents that never stop.
In the courtyard of Jinhui Taxi Company, which was deserted due to the Chinese New Year, there was a black Mercedes-Benz with a Jinghu City license plate parked. The car was not turned off, and hot smoke was still puffing out from the exhaust pipe.
In the manager's office on the second floor of the company, on the coffee table in front of the leather sofa, two cups of hot tea were steaming. A well-proportioned man was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his feet in shiny leather shoes shaking constantly.
Next to him, the general manager of Jinhui Company, Lu Shibo, who usually yelled at the taxi driver, was standing cautiously at this moment, his throat moving up and down due to nervousness, his eyes always staring at the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly.
The two of them sat and stood like this, and the atmosphere in the office, which was not very warm to begin with, was even colder. It was probably more crowded than Sun Dapaozi's van.
On the round clock hanging on the wall, the second hand continued to rotate in an orderly manner, and the clicking sound was more than twice as slow as Lu Shibo's heartbeat and breathing.
