Twenty-seven Red Dust(1/2)
Today, the weather is particularly good.
The sky is clear and the wind is smooth.
The sun in Ancheng is always so kind, like a gentle girl, caressing the land in Guizhou.
In the west of the city, it is a lake, surrounded by mountains, quiet and pleasant.
Under the reflection of the sunshine and in the floating breeze, the lake water is sparkling. It is like a spring dream, with all kinds of charm and attracting people from all over the world at all times.
There are many people on the lakeside, laughter and joy.
There was also a graceful young woman wearing swimsuits and having fun in the lake.
A taxi came slowly, from between the two mountains, a winding asphalt road entered the lakeside and walked around.
Soon, the taxi stopped at the foot of a mountain.
"I'm home!" A cold voice came from the car.
The car door opened and two beautiful figures walked out of it.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!" Chen Xi exclaimed and pointed at the scenery of the lake and the mountains.
This place is completely different from the city.
The city is in chaos, and here, among the mountains, is like a paradise.
Looking at the crowd on the lakeside, Chen Xi couldn't help but smile.
There are really two sides to this world.
Here, everything is so peaceful, there is no fighting or killing, no dispute, and no one is fighting disabled people here.
Chen Xi's mind couldn't help but relax.
She likes it here.
"This is the West Reservoir!" Xu Qing said, "There is no development here. Although there are many people coming, there are no conflicts of interest, so there will naturally be no disputes!"
"Teacher, this place is so beautiful!" Chen Xi said.
"Look, my home is there!" Xu Qing said, pointing to a small building on the hillside.
It was a three-story building. In front of the building was a small courtyard, which was planted with various fruit trees and green forests.
"Let's go!" She took her hand, and two beautiful figures walked up the mountain along a stone stairway.
Soon, the two of them came to the small building.
"Wow!" Chen Xi stretched out his hands and looked down at the mountains, rivers and earth.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened it.
At this time, her face, which was originally slightly pale, began to turn red.
The irritability in it was swept away with her breathing.
"It turns out that I stand high and see far. From here, it is completely different from the feeling at the foot of the mountain!"
From here, the lake water is no longer shimmering, but becomes very quiet, like a smooth mirror without a trace of turbulence.
It is like a peerless and independent woman. Under the blue sky and white clouds, among these mountains, it tastes its own loneliness alone.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Chen Xi pointed to a mountain not far away and asked, "Teacher, there are people everywhere here, why doesn't that mountain not?"
"That was a cemetery, and the sun also set from that place!" Xu Qing said casually.
"Oh!" Chen Xi nodded slightly.
"Let's go home!" Xu Qing smiled, took Chen Xi's hand and walked into the courtyard.
"Teacher, did you carry these fruit trees?" Chen Xi asked.
"I'm not at home all year round!" Xu Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is planted by my mother. Look at the peach tree, she grafted it herself, and the plum tree was still a sapling when it was transplanted. It's been many years!"
"Ah, I'm going to see grandma!" Chen Xi cheered, let go of Xu Qing's hand, and walked into the room.
"Grandma, grandma, Xiaoxi is here!" Chen Xi shouted.
However, the next moment, her petite figure froze in place and she stopped shouting.
She saw a photo hanging on the altar.
It was a gray-haired old man, quiet and kind.
"My mother passed away a year ago!" Xu Qing came behind Chen Xi and sighed.
"Teacher, why don't you say to me?" Chen Xi's eyes turned dark, "You often write to me, don't you say that grandma has always been good?"
"She left peacefully. This is a joy and funeral. Don't be too sad!" Xu Qing said softly, "Fortunately, I came back early and could be filial to my mother for two years. The old man left with a smile!"
Chen Xi looked at the photo, walked forward, lit a stick of incense, respectfully, and bowed.
Then, there was a silence.
"Don't think too much, let's go, I'll take you to see something good!" Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, Xu Qing took Chen Xi's hand again and walked to the second floor.
"What good thing?" Chen Xi asked.
"You will know then!"
The two of them came to the door of a room and looked at Chen Xi with anticipation. Xu Qing chuckled and pushed open the door.
"Wow!" For a moment, Chen Xi's face showed a look of surprise.
It was a piano, placed in the room.
It is very quiet, like a shy girl, about to bloom, waiting for her lover's comfort.
"This was found by a foreign friend of mine. I was lucky and stayed in the 19th century!" Xu Qing said, "I have rarely played the piano in the past three years..."
"Does the teacher still think of him?" Chen Xi asked softly.
"I think!" Xu Qing's cheeks swayed a touch of sourness, "So, I dare not touch the piano. When I touch it, I miss him very much. When I see things and people, I practice the piano every day when I am with him!"
"Teacher... has been so many years!" Looking at Xu Qing, Chen Xi felt bitter, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
She really wanted to say that the teacher should live a new life and look forward, but she couldn't say it.
Don’t the teacher understand these?
However, feelings cannot be controlled.
"It's great!" Xu Qing chuckled, "I'm happy to see those children growing day by day. I like this job very much... On the street, you see how messy it is. The fundamental reason is that it is the problem of education. I just hope that the next generation will not be like this!"
"The teacher is right, I need you even more here!" Chen Xi nodded slightly.
She couldn't hear that the teacher wanted to work selflessly to suppress the emotions and thoughts in her heart.
However, emotional matters are hard to explain. Sometimes, the more you suppress them, the stronger it becomes, like a jar of fine wine, mixed with spicy flavor.
"Go, I haven't heard you play the piano for three years. The teacher wants to hear it!" Xu Qing said, changing the topic.
Chen Xi moved, and walked to the piano.
She, Yingying sat down.
Her hands gently stroked the keys, but in an instant, her heart suddenly became quiet.
She returned to her world, and at this moment, she was like an elf on earth, untainted by dust.
The scenes I experienced today surged into my heart, but they were gradually drifting like smoke and fog.
Her heart became calm.
"Do!" Her fingers finally moved and pressed them lightly on the keys.
At this time, her calm heart rose and fell again.
Her fingers were very slow and soft, and she began to dance on the keys.
The poignant melody sounded, accompanied by the breeze, echoing in the house.
Chen Xi sang in a low voice.
"In the past, I left Liangshan, and saw each other thousands of miles away, and gradually drifting away.
There are so many mountains, and I can’t say goodbye to take care of you.
When we met again in Guizhou, the sound of killing a hundred meters was strong and the domineering figure was extremely loud.
Who is the sinner? Can't figure out the grudges, love and hatred.
I only realized that behind the scorching sun, there was no darkness.
A song...numerous things happen in the world!
Playing a dance... can't hide the charm of the world!
Turning into the world, just for a pond of spring water, birds singing and flowers blooming..."
"Dangdang!" Chen Xi's fingers suddenly accelerated and became rapid, like a storm. Gradually, as time passed, her rhythm slowed down again.
"It turns into the world, just for a pond of spring water, birds singing and flowers blooming..."
