Chapter 68: The First Night in a Foreign Country
The land area of Sikkim is very small, so small that it is about the size of a large city in China, such as Shanghai, Sikkim is not much bigger than Shanghai.
Unfortunately, we had never heard of this country before, and this little common sense knowledge about it was only learned through Cheng Xin's conversation with the border official in Sikkim.
After knowing this news, Brother Chengxin began to communicate with the official again, according to Brother Chengxin's meaning, since Sikkim is not big, then can you send us all the way to the capital of Sikkim, where it is more convenient for us to transfer to India, after all, we are not familiar with the place, we are not willing to delay too much.
If you want to get such convenience, it is naturally indispensable to have the necessary benefits, for all aspects of consideration, our money has also been exchanged for a part of the dollar through a certain channel, and the dollar is universal, Brother Chengxin used a little bit to get this convenience.
At this time, we finally saw everyone who had crossed the border before, waiting on the side of the road, walking all the way, only 5 kilometers from the border.
Obviously, an escort car could not seat so many people, and naturally this problem was solved with money, and after receiving enough money, the official did not know what method to use, and transferred two more cars, so that he could continue to move forward.
But this time, Hui Gen'er was no longer willing to part with me, and forcibly let Brother Chengxin sit in another car, and he sat in the same car as me.
"Brother, you don't know how worried I am about you, if it weren't for Brother Chengqing to move forward and let us run forward, I would have wanted to run back, Brother Chengqing insisted that you are fine." As soon as Hui Gen'er sat in the car, she chattered at me, obviously waiting on the side of the road, which also made them psychologically tortured, and this time it was the credit of Brother Chengqing to stabilize the overall situation.
I put my hand on Hui Gen'er's bald head, and I was silent and speechless, and it took a long time before I said, "We're fine, it's just that your brother Lu Shan has made a great sacrifice." ”
At this time, Lu Shan's complexion was still that desperate, gray-white without luster, his eyes were unfocused, and he kept muttering to himself, what he said was probably only clear to him, even if others listened carefully, they couldn't hear why.
The road conditions in Sikkim are not good, swaying all the way, Lu Shan's body swaying up and down, as if he is a fallen leaf in the wind, and he has no autonomy over his body at all.
Lu Shan's appearance obviously frightened Hui Gen'er, he glanced at Lu Shan cautiously, and then asked me in a low voice: "Brother, Brother Lu Shan, what's wrong with him?" ”
I also looked at the distance with some sadness, the scenery that I couldn't see clearly in the night, and whispered: "He lost something too important in his life, and the pain of that loss doesn't have to be lighter when I lost your Sister Ruxue, let him be quiet for a while." ”
Hui Gen'er nodded sensibly and said no more.
And when I said this, most of it was just speculation, Lu Shan didn't tell me his story, but I could feel that this kind of loss was the same kind when I lost like snow.
Instead of going all the way to the capital of Sikkim, we stopped at the halfway point, and the official found us a place to spend the night, on the grounds that the road conditions here were not suitable for night roads, and it was a drizzly night.
None of us had too much opposition to this decision, in fact fatigue was about to crush us, and it was good to have such a restful night's rest.
I didn't even see what the official had arranged for us, so I simply washed up, fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep, but when I woke up sensitively in the middle of the night, I found Lu Shan sitting by the window in a daze, his eyes bright like an owl.
I really wanted to comfort and comfort Lu Shan, but I felt that at such a time, what others said was superfluous, so I simply fell silent.
I got up and put on my clothes, I handed Lu Shan a pack of cigarettes, and lit one myself, happiness can be passed on to each other, and common sadness can also infect each other, Lu Shan's sadness naturally aroused my heart.
The drizzle has slowly stopped in the middle of the night, pushing open the window, a bright moon does not know when it rose into the sky, shining on this night after the rain at the beginning of the stop, the distant mountain shadow, the near dripping banana leaves, the wet world, the damp mood, the original place where we rest, is a big house, but this is also the first night in a foreign country.
Ruxue, are you okay in the Dragon Tomb? Are you still the same as snow in the beginning? Or in that environment, have you broken away from the fetters of the world and forgotten me?
With such sadness, the picture in my mind is constantly changing, the weak body that carries my life with its life, the incomparably beautiful back in the sunset, the glance that I turned around when I first met, the photo with my stiff smile, and the promise that is destined to be impossible to complete every winter.
"We come to see a movie at this time of year, okay? Chengyi! ”
"Chengyi, don't look back, don't look back!" Brother Chengxin forcibly hugged my head and dragged it out.
However, if you can't look back, that back gradually disappeared into the depths of the Dragon Tomb, isn't it?
My tears finally blurred my eyes, and even the cigarette in my lungs could not soothe my sadness and longing at the moment, and next to me, there was a man who also shed tears like a fool - Lu Shan.
I raised my head, wiped away the tears in my eyes, turned around and slapped my hand on Lu Shan's shoulder: "There is still time, you can go back to Baima and get back the drum, the important thing is that you have hope." Speaking of this, I paused, looked at Lu Shan, whose expression was a little loose, and continued: "I once had a very beloved woman, I knew where she was, but it was a place that I might never hope to reach in my life, but I told myself that I still had to go, and that was the hope I comforted myself. Do you understand? ”
Lu Shan looked at me, his hands trembled a little, he rubbed his face tiredly, and said, "If I want to understand people, do you have hope?" ”
"No, what I want you to understand is that you have real hope, and a brother like me promised you that you are willing to go with you when you go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire. Instead of being like me, there is only one hope to comfort myself, and there is no foundation for it. Won't you be able to walk up to Mandrepa in this life? I whispered.
"Brother?" Lu Shan raised his head, with a moving look in his eyes, and looked at me.
"From the time you brought us to the border, we have been brothers, and in our hearts, there is no difference between you and each other, because we understand what you have sacrificed." I said it seriously.
"But you don't know everything about me, how do you know what I've sacrificed?" Lu Shan stood up and looked out the window with me.
"Yes, I don't know everything about you, I'm still waiting for you to tell me. But, how can you be pretending to be sad, but I have experienced this kind of sadness as much as you. I pretended not to care, but at this moment, the bitterness in my heart was rolling like an ocean, spreading to my whole body, and I almost didn't dare to think about the word snow anymore, I was afraid that I would go crazy.
"Seiichi!" Lu Shan's hand suddenly slapped heavily on my shoulder, and suddenly he couldn't cry and said: "Whether she is alive or has become a holy weapon, I always accompany her, I have never left her, she is the purest, purest and most noble snow lotus in my heart!" But now," Lu Shan slapped his chest with a 'Peng' and 'Peng' sound, and then said: "It's empty now, I can't feel her and she has to exist." ”
"Then get it back! Isn't it? Alive, there is hope, I have pursued hope, no matter what, until I die, I can put it down with a smile, as long as my life is like this, I can sleep without regrets, smiling. You need to rest. I whispered.
"Well, I need a good night's sleep." Lu Shan rubbed his face again, this time there was no more decadent despair on his face, and a little hope was finally ignited in his eyes.
"Yes, hope is always a good thing, at least because of it, and it doesn't waste your life. There was once such a woman, in order to give me hope, she made a promise that I would be together for the rest of my life, I accepted it, Lu Shan, are you much luckier than me? At this time, a gentle voice like a spring breeze suddenly interjected into our conversation, and when I turned around, it was Brother Chengxin.
He leaned against the door frame of the room, and his eyes were also filled with sadness, he was talking about the girl named Shen Xing, right? That calm, wise, light girl.
I exhaled a long breath, it was a sad night in a foreign country, but I also used sadness as firewood, lighting a torch called hope for us, illuminating the future.
I looked at Brother Chengxin and smiled: "When did you wake up?" ”
"From the time when you and Lu Shan stood here and sat here and wept like a fool." Brother Chengxin also replied with a smile.
It's just that in the moonlight, there are tears on his cheeks, and I'm afraid it's hard to forget the embrace between yin and yang in that room, right?
The three of us were silent, and then, almost at the same time, said, "Tired, go to sleep." ”
Night, there will always be a past, tomorrow no matter whether there is a sun or not, the sky will always light up, the road, go down, there is an experience called memory, tempering our heart.
