our fate

"Hey, Unclegod, Jeff." I waved to the two who came in with helmets in their hands. When Unclegod saw me, he rushed over with his beard shaking: "Haha, Siren, long time no see, and I brought my boyfriend over "He is an out-and-out Englishman, but he has lived in Hong Kong for six or seven years, and he speaks Cantonese very fluently.Hearing this, I ignored him and turned to introduce to Leslie, "This bearded man likes to be called Unclegod, and beside you is Zheng Xuehui, Jeff, from Hong Kong." I could see that Leslie was a little excited, so I leaned over to talk to him. Whisper: "Are you going?"

"Go, it's rare to have this time." Leslie said hello to them while answering me, her eyes narrowed with a smile, she was still so pretty. "Hey, how do we go, drive? Walk?" He asked as he took out cigarettes and scattered them one by one.For convenience, the full name of Unclegod will be Big Beard from now on.The bearded man smoked cigarettes skillfully, and began to puff, "Driving is driving, but it's just a heavy motorcycle. There are dirt roads up the hillside of Baoercha, and the car can't get on it at all. Even the motorcycle has to be parked by the side of the road." , I have to walk a certain mountain road. Hey, boyfriend, can you drive?"

I punched the bearded man with a wave of my hand, and corrected him: "It's Leslie." The bearded man raised his hand in surrender, "OK, OK, Leslie." After speaking, he took the cigarette down and clamped it in his hand, and hooked it with the other hand. Leslie's neck just went forward.After two or three steps, he stopped and looked at us again, "Hurry up." I pouted at Leslie, and Jeff came over and patted my shoulder, motioning for me to follow.

"Pan, let's go." I looked back, Pan put his artwork-like cup away, then reluctantly took off his apron and walked towards us.

There are only three motorcycles, and the bearded man is used to riding alone, so Leslie and I ride together.Holding the helmet in my hand, I looked at Leslie: "Are you driving or should I drive?" Hearing this, Leslie was a little surprised, "You know how to drive this?" I smiled and was about to speak, but the bearded man robbed me of my words : "Siren is very powerful, it's the first time I've seen a girl play with this car so well." Yu Biwu put on his helmet and was ready to go.

The other one was driven by Pan, he was sitting in the front, and Jeff was behind. Hearing this, he was a little frightened, shaking his head like a rattle, "Leslie, don't let her drive, this girl is like a lunatic." Leslie looked at me as if waiting for an explanation, I shrugged and smiled at him, "You can do it."

The road up the mountain is indeed as rugged as the bearded man said, and the road to the back is overgrown with weeds and there is no road.We turned off the lights, stopped the car on the spot, and had to walk up.The three of them each carried a big bag on their backs, and carried a lot of things in their hands. Leslie and I shared some for them. A group of five people walked towards the top of the mountain with a flashlight.

"Weeds are overgrown here, and the road is difficult to walk. Be careful." Leslie took the light bag from my hand and leaned towards me, reminding me. I nodded and moved the flashlight closer. Take a good look at the thorny thorn grass, and then step on them carefully so as not to be scratched. "These, and these, have thorns on them, so be careful." Leslie glanced at me and continued walking.

"Siren, Siren, come and see if the grass in front of me has any thorns." Pan turned his head and smiled at us, with obvious intentions and malicious intentions.I looked at Leslie Cheung, and found that he was smiling, and then turned to stare at Pan. I didn't know if Pan had seen it, but Jeff suddenly leaned over and talked to me: "Siren, are you afraid of snakes?" Pan turned around. Looking at us, the eyes were a little weird. I didn't understand why Jeff asked this way, so I said honestly: "I'm not afraid, what's wrong?" Jeff smiled, his expression was a little relaxed: "It's nothing, snakes often appear on this mountain, be careful."

"Snakes? How do you know that snakes often appear?" Leslie also laughed. He glanced at Jeff and winked at me again. I was a little confused. "When Unclegod came last time, I met several of them. Because it was daytime, nothing happened. Unclegod, right?" The bearded man glanced at us, didn't speak, and kept walking forward. Jeff began to talk vividly again: "Hey, that kind of thing is slippery and cold, its eyes are staring at you, and it spits out messages. Maybe it's wrapped around a branch, just brushed past your ear, maybe it's on your feet. By the way, you said that if from the bottom of the trousers..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Very exaggerated and smooth.I finally understood Jeff's intentions, I didn't care about the image for a while, and laughed out loud with the two of them almost at the same time.The bearded man snorted coldly, walked over and patted the back of Pan's head: "Knowing you is really a stain on my life." Then, in Pan's struggle, he managed to pull a dry branch out of his trousers.

"Siren, write this story down, so that he will be infamous forever." The bearded man sneered, turned his head and threw the branch in his hand to me, "And this, for illustration." I couldn't stop laughing, just He kept nodding his head, but he didn't want to be hooked by the vines, and crashed into Leslie's arms, embarrassing, embarrassing.

A farce was coming to an end, taking advantage of the dark lights, I stood up straight, got a haircut, straightened my clothes, pretended nothing had happened, and looked at the rest of the people, as if we were going on, we walked to the top of the mountain again.

The cave is not high, just enough for the tallest bearded man among us to stand up straight, but it is spacious enough, even if the five of us sit in together, it is not very crowded. "Hey, Unclegod, you made the concrete floor and walls, why is the top wall still made of mud?" I shook my flashlight at it.The bearded man was taking out the things he was carrying, when he heard this, he motioned for me to turn on the light, and then said: "It's too short, I'm going to make it higher in two days."

I nodded and saw a black box in Leslie's hand, so I leaned over. "Hey, tape recorder, you actually brought this." I pressed the switch, and the melodious music echoed in the small cave. "I brought all the blankets I could bring at home. It's cold in the mountains at night, and five people can make do with it." While making the bed, the bearded man threw me a blanket, and just after he took it, Jeff threw another bed , was at a loss, the blanket in Pan's hand froze in mid-air. After a long time, he twitched the corner of his mouth: "This...you can use it to lay it on the floor..."

I glanced at Leslie next to me, his expression was as dazed as mine, and I was a little overwhelmed seeing the three bearded men making up their beds and preparing to go to bed: "Hey, it's cool and windy outside, don't you plan to go Look at the stars or something?" The bearded man straightened his beard, "I'm going to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise." Then he retracted into the quilt. Pan stared at me like a monster, Jeff threw me a bottle of mosquito repellent, then took off his coat and shrank into the bed, he said: "Go to bed early, wake up tomorrow to watch the sunrise."

I nudged Leslie next to me with my elbow: "Do you want to sleep now?" Leslie shook his head: "Let's go see the stars." I got the tape recorder and went out, oh, and the flashlight and mosquito repellant.

I found a grassy area near the entrance of the cave, and Leslie took a stack of old newspapers and laid it out before I spread the blanket on the ground.These are about 1.8 meters of blankets for the bed, very large, I use two mattresses, and put the other bed next to it, and it can be covered when it is cold.The radio was playing cheerful music, which I thought was inappropriate, so I changed to a melodious and soothing one, and felt that the sound was too loud, so I lowered the volume.

After everything was packed, I lay down without hesitation. Leslie sprayed mosquito repellant around me, and also lay down in the empty space on my right. This night, this situation, this scene was very pleasant.

This is a spacious open space with no trees around. I looked at the inky black sky in front of me full of galaxies. It was so deep and dazzling, mysterious and unreachable. , in fact, each of us is insignificant than dust, isn't it?

The cool wind blows the leaves rustling, the breath from the tip of the nose can smell the coolness with the smell of green grass, there is the low sound of insects in the ears, accompanied by the deep and deep female voice in the tape recorder, the majestic and atmospheric music background, Suddenly, I felt that my heart was greatly shaken, as if something was about to rush out of my chest, then, what did it feel like?At the bottom of the sky, I am in this open space on the top of a high mountain, as if I am the only one in the whole world, with endless freedom and no constraints.

I felt a little excited, but felt that there was no way to express my feelings in words. I turned my head to see what Leslie was doing, but unexpectedly he looked at me, his eyes met, he didn't speak, but he didn't Awkward.I smiled and asked him, "Leslie, will you stick to what you do?" He didn't say anything, just nodded, his eyes sparkling.

I thought, I don't need to say anything, he knows everything I feel.

There is still a melodious song in my ears. It is a very old English song. I have heard it before, but I forgot the name and who sang it. I only know that at this moment, there is no song more suitable for the occasion. .

From September 1981th to 9th, 28, I spent the first unforgettable night after returning to Hong Kong at the top of Mount Balcha.
