Forever journey

Xiao Rui boarded the long-distance train back to the northwest. She can't imagine running away from home alone to the far south of the Yangtze River. What is the reason? What made her run so far? I must be crazy, she thought.

Xiao Rui looked back at the female ticket inspector standing at the ticket gate. People sometimes have this inexplicable sense of familiarity, and wherever they go, they will meet people who have met deja vu. But for the whole Jiangnan, she still feels strange, so the ticket inspector had better smile at her.

The train carriages are clean. She bought a soft berth when she came, and now she can only take a hard seat. She is thinking about how to save money as much as possible and get home safely.

There is a young man sitting by the window. He is wearing a thin white shirt with black hair and short inches. His two knife-shaped eyebrows seem to give him a distinctive temperament and a sense of deja vu.

The kind smile of the ticket inspector still appears in her mind from time to time. Life is always in a hurry, and there will be some souvenirs worth cherishing, even a passing smile. She has been standing at the checkpoint, smiling at the tourists from south to north. A person's pursuit of career is his self-cultivation and enthusiasm. XiaoRui thought, a little envious of her.

Xiao Rui seems to have returned to the ideal scene that everyone talked about when he graduated from high school. At that time, the dream lived in her heart. But my dream fell to the ground with the failure of the college entrance examination, and I was confused for a long time. She gave up the idea of being a tutor. She began to go out to work and look for a job.

She served dishes in restaurants, worked as a waiter and typist in hotels, and dreamed of becoming a writer. She worked as a graphic designer in an advertising company and a sales clerk in a real estate company. She will soon become the manager of the sales department, but then an unexpected news made her give up the chance of being promoted to manager of the real estate company.

Ding Ke, her high school classmate, called her and said that the cities in the south have great development space and opportunities. He can find her a job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands and let her go to the south. She was very excited at that time and immediately quit her job in a real estate company and went to Jiangnan. But suddenly the family suddenly announced a big event, blind date.

Someone introduced her to a person with good conditions. She hurried to see the man. After the blind date, she felt that the man was handsome and the family conditions were good. However, the man offered to get married immediately, and Dante's repeated calls made her feel very contradictory. After all, she has a dream in her heart, which has not yet come true. If she gets married, her dream will be completely shattered.

Looking back now, she thought it was funny. Her understanding of society is too superficial.

Dreams are just an obsession that never gives up. Alas! She gave a wry smile. What saddens her most is that his best classmate and most trustworthy friend cheated her. Even if she pays tuition to buy experience, she comforts herself.

Sister sent a message: Xiao Rui, please come back as soon as possible, and don't let mom worry about you any more. Roger that. Send back a message.

There is also a letter from her new husband: "Xiao Rui, where have you been?" I was so worried. I can't sleep alone since you left home. I promise you, I will get rid of my bad habit, never drink again, and never play with boring friends until dawn. I will make it right, I promise you.

It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, she feels as if she has forgiven him. In other words, because of her impulsive and ignorant departure, she felt guilty at that moment and she had a psychological balance. But she clearly felt a vague sense of repentance rising from her heart. She began to feel homesick.

"I have taken the bus home." She didn't tell her sister where she had gone.

She looked at the chat records on QQ again. At this time, she felt bored and didn't want to watch any more. She deleted the record with one click.

Dreams are like a gust of wind, blowing from the desert, only to see desolation and no green space. What an illusory thing a promise is. Is there anyone trustworthy in this world?

Tears ran down her cheeks, and she didn't realize she was crying. The young man next to me handed me a small tissue, and she realized that she was crying. She said thank you to him and bowed her head.

The train will make a shaking sound to remind her that she is on her way home. How long is the road? But Xiao Rui hoped that the train would keep swinging like this and never stop.

The young man wanted to say a few words to her, but he felt that a middle-aged couple sitting opposite them stared at them from time to time, and then said something in the southern dialect that he didn't understand, so he held back.

Xiao Rui felt very tired and couldn't keep his eyes open. She hasn't eaten for two days. She doesn't want to eat. She doesn't feel hungry.

She leaned back as if she were asleep. In the dark, she saw a man coming towards her, and she was so scared that she had nowhere to hide. She woke up suddenly and saw a familiar face across the front of the train with more than ten seats. She quickly lowered her head, stretched out her hand and touched the young man next to her, and whispered to him that a bad man was coming for me. She leaned on the young man's shoulder, put the young man's coat aside and put it on her head.

The young man stretched out his right hand and naturally put it on her shoulder.

A young man of medium height, slightly thin and looking mid-twenties walked back and forth from his seat, but he didn't find Xiao Rui and left the carriage.

"He's gone." The young man whispered to her:

Xiao Rui sat up straight. "Thank you just now!" Say that finish looked forward and back.

"Nothing, who is he to you?" The young man asked calmly.

"It's a liar."

The young man let out a cry and said nothing.

Towards noon, the conductor pushed the lunch trolley over. Before Xiao Rui knew it, the young man bought her an extra instant noodle and offered to exchange seats with Xiao Rui and let her sit by the window.

The young man went to turn on the water. Soon the noodles were ready, and Xiao Rui was really embarrassed, but the enthusiasm of the young people made her no longer welcome. She feels that what she says and does at the moment is superfluous.

Two middle-aged couples across the street looked at Xiao Rui, and the fatter woman asked Xiao Rui in Mandarin, "Girl, are you going away alone?". That man was still looking back and forth just now, and I sweated for you. "

The fat woman in Xiao Rui smiled.

"I saw him walking back and forth and looking at people's eyes, and I knew that he was not a good person." The middle-aged woman said to Xiao Rui with great concern.

The man around him looked at his wife, and he felt that she couldn't speak at all.

The middle-aged woman refused to look her husband in the eye. She turned her head to the young man beside Xiao Rui and said, "This girl, it's not easy to go out alone."

The young man smiled slightly. "Everyone has difficulties."

At this time, Xiao Rui quickly said, "Thank you for your concern just now."

When the middle-aged woman saw Xiao Rui's answer, she suddenly felt refreshed and leaned down and said, "How long should you be careful when you go out?" Nowadays, many girls don't listen to their families and always want to go out alone. I don't know when to sell it. "

The middle-aged man's wife smiled, which was somewhat embarrassing and helpless.

XiaoRuiSong a sigh of relief, said, "he is my ex-boyfriend, high school classmates. I trust someone too much. Is there anyone trustworthy in this world? " Xiao Rui said the tears came out again. As usual, Xiao Rui would never say these words to strangers, but at this moment, she felt an irresistible force in her chest, and she couldn't control herself.

"You're right, there are too few good people in this world." Middle-aged women are getting more and more excited.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Rui and said in a slightly sympathetic tone, "There will be good people, and you will meet people who are really good to you, maybe in the nearest place."

"Hey, do you still believe that there are genuine people in this world?" The woman turned to her husband and pulled her face and said to him. That look clearly says that people like you still know the truth?

The young man noticed the thorn in the middle-aged couple's words and said in a relieved tone, "Life has to go through hardships and tests, and sometimes it even has to pay a certain price."

"Yes, people have to go through hardships to wake up and grow. You young people need to hone more in society! " The middle-aged man finally escaped his wife's stare and found a quarrel. "Young man, are you a college student?"

"Uncle, I went to graduate school and graduated this year." The young man said.

"Ah, turned out to be" bright boy ",I said how do you look gentle, a scholar. I am quite accurate in judging people. " The middle-aged woman pretends to have read countless people, and now it seems that it is her turn to speak. The middle-aged man was once again provoked to laugh by his wife's tone and behavior.

At this time, Xiao Rui began to pay attention to the graduate students around him. He looks like a scholar, but his affinity masks his bookish immaturity. For a person who meets for the first time, there is no sense of distance, but it won't make you have other ideas. He is like a younger brother. Xiao Rui also found that graduate students are friendly to everyone, and he is particularly energetic and sunny.

The four of them gradually became acquaintances who talked about everything.

"I'm going to visit my girlfriend in the northwest this time," said the graduate student.

"The north-south road is far away, a thousand miles a day." The middle-aged man said.

"Distance is not a problem, uncle. The important thing is that we can love each other. " The graduate student said.

"Well, yes, we wish you find true love." The middle-aged couple said seriously at the same time.

Xiao Rui's face looks much better now. She seems to have forgotten her troubles. The graduate student took out his bread and milk for everyone to eat. The middle-aged couple waved their hands and said yes. So the graduate student invited Xiao Rui to dinner, and Xiao Rui was not polite at all. She stammered. Graduate students laughed at her. That smile made Xiao Rui feel relaxed and practical. XiaoRui didn't worry about anything along the way.

It is very pleasant to meet a kind-hearted person on the train. Xiao Rui felt the relaxed conversation during the trip, which made her forget the pain. She suddenly became a different person and began to laugh and laugh.

She is so strong that pain always exists in her for a short time.

The young graduate student suddenly asked her a question.

"What do you think is the meaning of life?"

Xiao Rui doesn't know how to answer this sudden question at once, but she also wants to show that she is such a knowledgeable girl. She frowned thoughtfully and then replied, "I think the meaning of life lies in cherishing life."

"You look like a philosopher!" The graduate student smiled.

"I am talking nonsense. In fact, I still don't understand this problem. " XiaoRuiQian said falsely.

"Life itself gives it meaning, but we want to live the glory of life." The graduate student turned on his tablet computer as he spoke.

"You are a true philosopher. After listening to what you just said, I feel suddenly enlightened. While cherishing life, we should live the glory of life. I wrote it down. " XiaoRui smiled.

Middle-aged people seem to be infected by the philosophical discussion of these two young people: "You both have a deep understanding of the meaning of life. I think the meaning of life is that life is meaningless. Life is meaningful only if you give it meaning. "

"This sentence is not what you said, I have read it in books. People talk about the meaning of life itself, but you think life is meaningless? Aren't you a naysayer? " A man's wife got angry as soon as she heard that her husband had betrayed secrets to two young people.

Graduate students are very concerned: "Aunt, uncle is right. My uncle is a philosopher and thinker. "

The middle-aged man laughed: "I can't sit still if you say that."

"I can't sit still and want to jump." His wife immediately added. Everyone laughed at the same time.

Xiao Rui recovered from his absentmindedness. "I want to write down our discussion, which inspires me too much."

The graduate student sighed with emotion, "This is my first longest trip, and I will also record the happiness of this trip."

Passenger: The train k 155 1 is coming in. Please take care of the old people and children in the same trade ... "

The middle-aged couple said, "I really want to take more stops." Time flies. Here we are. Thank you for your company all the way. Have a nice trip. "

Xiao Rui and the graduate students stood up and said, "We still have one day's journey. Thanks to my uncle and aunt for accompanying me all the way. Have a nice trip. "

The middle-aged couple said, "Well, you can talk more and explore knowledge all the way."

"Goodbye, uncle and aunt!"

"Goodbye and have a nice day." The middle-aged couple waved to them.

The train pulled into the station smoothly. After a while, someone came up again. A dignified and comely woman came up with a wheeled suitcase and saw that there was no one here, ready to put her luggage. Graduate students stepped forward to help.

"Thank you!" After the woman watched the graduate student put the luggage on the mezzanine above, she nodded slightly to him and said.

Xiao Rui first asked, "Hello, a new friend has come."

"Hello, welcome new friends!" Graduate students also cast a welcome look.

"Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yi Chan. I'm from Wuhan, and I'm going to Xi 'an. What about you? " The woman responded happily.

"My name is Donghua. I am from Xiamen and am going to Lanzhou. " Graduate students say that finish, glanced at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui said, "My name is Jiang Rui. Go to Suzhou to find a dream and return to Jiangnan. "

"I interviewed in Lanzhou last year and have been there. I haven't been to Jiangnan yet, and I will definitely go there to see you when I have the opportunity. " The woman said with a smile

"Are you a reporter?" Asked the graduate student.

"Not a reporter, but a person who loves to play word games."

"Then you are a writer." The graduate student said positively.

"I am very happy to meet a beautiful writer, who is also my dream." Xiao Rui said happily.

"Nice to meet you, too." Yi Chan sat in her seat and put her handbag by the window. "Writer is also the most common profession, and you can realize your dream of being a writer." Yi Chan said to Xiao Rui with warm eyes.

"I am a dream writer who dreams." XiaoRui said with a smile.

Everyone burst out laughing.

The train started slowly, then accelerated and went on.

After the trip, the quartet became a trio. But the heat of discussion is more like before, because young people always have endless topics together.

The night engulfed the train, only felt a slight tremor, shaking from time to time to disturb the sleeping passengers, and then fell asleep.

Xiao Rui hears the ringtone of her cell phone text message and turns it on.

This is another message from my husband: "Xiao Rui, today is the last time I sing. It is late at night. I want to say goodbye to some friends. From then on, I will start a new life. I hope you can forgive me. I gave "To whom is lovesickness" to my dear young and beautiful wife. Do you know how happy I am to hear my sister say that you are on your way home? Please turn on the music on your mobile phone at the moment and listen to this song. We are far away! "

Xiao Rui plugged in headphones and turned on the music ... This song is a song to treat emotions, which makes Xiao Rui feel sad. Why on earth is this, Rui Jun? Why do you love drinking so much and often go out at night? We just hurt each other, and you don't give me a chance. You didn't leave me. Why don't you help me? I could have turned around for you. Tears rolled down my cheeks again. ...

Xiao Rui, the story you told me moved me very much. The beauty writer wrote in her notebook for a while, then stopped and said, "Let's all leave each other's phone numbers and add a WeChat. I think we will have a chance to meet again in the future. " The woman writer kept a sharp eye on Xiao Rui.

"Beauty writer, you also write my story. We will be your most loyal readers. " The graduate student said humorously.

That's what I thought. The topic is "I am in the south of the Yangtze River and you are in the north."

Xiao Rui was surprised and asked, "Teacher Yi Chan, why did you use this topic?"

"My home is in Jiangnan, and I came to Wu Hanyou for an interview a few days ago. Now you and I are both in the same direction, and there are people we care about in the north. " The beauty writer looked at Xiao Rui and continued: "Your headphones are a little loud. I heard you. Is it the song "To whom are the lovesick fragments"? In fact, I also like this song very much. "

"I often listen to this song, and every time I listen to it, I think of her in the north." Graduate students seem to have wet eyes.

"Uh-huh, yes. A close friend of mine, he sent it to me at night. I don't know why, but it's sad to listen to this song on the trip. But I want to repeat it every time I listen. " Xiao Rui called her husband a bosom friend.

"That's you listening to yourself, listening to your inner sadness, maybe you know yourself very well. You should cherish him! " Beauty writers show some writers' keen and unique observation.

"This trip is really enjoyable. I have a new novel to write. When I go back to writing, you will provide me with more material. I established three groups, the group name is "I am in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jun is in the north".

"How nice! Thanks to my sister! " Xiao Rui said happily.

Graduate students gradually fell asleep during the journey.

Yi Chan raised his glasses to the bridge of his nose and typed quickly on his laptop. What a diligent writer.

Xiao Rui pressed the music play button on the mobile phone again. ...

I want to ask where the fallen flowers go, fluttering with the wind, and my heart moves with the wind to send acacia. Who did you give that lovesickness to?

......

Tears ran down Xiao Rui's cheeks.

At 8: 40 in the morning, the train finally pulled into the station.

Xi has arrived, and so has the Yi Chan terminal. Donghua will also get off and change trains to Lanzhou.

Yi Chan, Donghua and Xiao Rui shook hands and said goodbye. Zen said that if her novel was published, she would meet everyone in Jiangnan. Great, Donghua, Xiao Rui said happily.

We will be home in two hours.

Xiao Rui first sent a message to her husband: Honey, are you okay? I'm back. Thank you for the song you ordered for me. It accompanied me all the way home. I can't wait to see you. "

Xiao Rui suddenly felt dizzy. Xiao Rui, who only ate a pack of Donghua instant noodles, has been sitting in a hard seat for nearly 36 hours. But just then, she took out her headphones, plugged them into her mobile phone Mai Kong, and turned on the music player. She also wants to hear "whose acacia is that?"

Want to know where the fallen flowers go, floating in the wind ...

The phone rang. That's my sister's cell phone.

"Elder sister, I'm coming ..." XiaoRui weakly replied.

There is no sound on the phone.

"You are talking, sister!"

"He is ... gone!" Sister choked and said.

"What, go? What do you mean? Sister, do you understand? " XiaoRui immediately felt a sense of foreboding, which hit her chest and hurt like a needle.

"Last night, he drove home in the middle of the night. He drove too fast ..." The phone suddenly stopped.

With a bang, the mobile phone fell to the ground and Xiao Rui fell on the seat. The train went on like crazy.

Cell phone headset is still ringing:

I'm in the south of the Yangtze River and you're in the north, and you're not obsessed with anything.

......
