Chapter 623 The meaning of travel (18)
To be honest, Gyatso wanted to grab a lump of soil from the ground and smash it into this man's face.
But he was worried about accidentally injuring Chen Jinzhi next to him, so he had to give up.
Su Chengyi had already heard the sound of the child's back teeth grinding, and was just secretly amused.
He reached out and took the kite string from Chen Jinzhi's hand, adjusted the angle slightly, and then said:
"It's getting late, let's go down the mountain."
"Okay."
Chen Jinzhi nodded and couldn't help but look up at the kite again.
But soon Su Chengyi, who was half a step ahead, held his wrist and reminded him casually:
"Watch the road."
"Okay."
It is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is just a slope with a low altitude. It feels like we have reached the foot of the mountain before we have even taken two steps.
A group of children followed the two of them, like an unreliable escort hired for cheap.
"What did you just say to Gyatso?"
Chen Jinzhi's boots stepped on the sand, leaving a series of deep and shallow footprints.
"Just chat."
Su Chengyi's smile was somewhat mysterious. He was sure that the topic just now was beyond Chen Jinzhi's guess.
But he obviously underestimated the sensitivity of this little fox.
Chen Jinzhi said "hmm", blinked his eyes, and said:
"I guess we are talking about Dolma."
"Really or not, am I so obvious?"
Su Chengyi asked in surprise.
"It's not obvious to you, Teacher Su, but it's obvious to Gyatso."
Chen Jinzhi smiled softly, with a natural look on his face.
"Really?"
Su Chengyi turned his head and glanced.
Gyatso picked up a stick from nowhere and waved it while walking. Dolma frowned and taught him not to hit people like this. He curled his lips with an indifferent and rebellious look on his face, but stopped moving and just used the stick to draw traces on the ground.
"Well, obviously."
Chen Jinzhi lowered his voice, as gentle as if he would be blown away by the wind in the next second.
"If I didn't like Dolma, I wouldn't be so concerned about her safety and her future plans.
He was quite wary of me, as if he was afraid that I might lead Dolma astray. It seems easy for you little boys to do this. ”
Having said this, Chen Jinzhi curled his lips and looked at Su Chengyi teasingly.
"What do you call us little boys? Why am I like this?"
Su Chengyi shook his head and did not agree.
"When we first met, Teacher Su always looked so defensive."
Chen Jinzhi blinked his eyes, very confidently, with the four words "records can be checked" written on his face.
"That's because we just met."
Su Chengyi thought for a while and felt that the facts were irrefutable, so he had to sigh.
"Furthermore, you were too proactive at the time, and you took the initiative without any warning. Is it normal to be suspicious? I always feel that this guy must have something up his sleeve. Although I don't seem to have anything to plot."
Su Chengyi's words became less and less confident the more he spoke.
Because although Chen Jinzhi takes the initiative, he is actually very good at grasping the scale, and is in a state of half pushing and half doing, seeming far and seemingly close.
Probably no one would be offended by her behavior. Of course, on the other hand, because she was Chen Jinzhi, no one was disgusted by her face.
In the final analysis, it is still to blame that she is too good at pulling and fishing.
"There is indeed a conspiracy."
Chen Jinzhi walked half a step in front of him, raising his hand to tuck the ends of his wind-blown hair behind his ears, with a slight smile in his eyes.
"Didn't I plot against you?"
Although he had heard her say this many times, Su Chengyi clearly felt his heart skip a beat.
I can't stand it, no matter how many times I come, I still can't stand it.
In order to cover himself up, Su Chengyi coughed, looked away, and changed the subject stiffly.
"Actually, Gyatso wasn't very defensive about you. He kept telling me that he was very grateful to you for sending Dolma home that day - he also helped me persuade the old man to help me make this kite, as a thank you."
"It's just a small thing."
Chen Jinzhi smiled, obviously not taking this matter too seriously.
"Actually, I noticed Dolma when we were still filming that day, but at first I thought it was a young actor captured by the crew from the local area. After all, Director Caroline is really capable of doing this kind of thing. She seems to be trying to rob other people's little ones on the street. Childlike.”
"But the shooting for that day was over, and there was no scene with the little girl. I felt a little strange, so I found an excuse to stay a little longer.
After everyone was gone, I walked to the tent to look for it, and Dolma huddled there and fell asleep.
At that time, I roughly guessed that it was definitely not a young actor hired by the crew, but maybe a local child who got lost, and it turned out to be true. ”
Chen Jinzhi explained the whole story of that day to Su Chengyi again, smiled softly and sighed.
"Children's courage is really big? A person dares to run to such a place."
"He ran out quietly after Gyatso and the others. In the final analysis, it was the boy's negligence. He knew that his little Qingmei would not be obedient, but he still refused to take anyone with him."
Su Chengyi put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Gyatso who was pulling something on the ground.
The latter was baffled by his strike in the eye, stared back angrily, and waved the wooden stick in his hand as if to demonstrate.
"Well, fortunately, the village is not far from the shooting location. It only takes ten minutes to walk."
Chen Jinzhi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Su Chengyi's eyes, forced his eyes back, and said with a hint of annoyance:
"Why do you always bully children, you childish devil."
"He is actually sensible."
Su Chengyi's expression softened, and he took Chen Jinzhi's right hand and put it into his coat pocket.
"I just asked him what he wanted to do in the future, and he said he wanted to stay here. He said very firmly that he wanted to stay here."
"Really?"
Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyelashes, thoughtfully.
"Yeah, it's hard to imagine hearing such words from a child."
Su Chengyi stretched his waist and continued:
"But he will be worried about his future, because his little Qingmei really wants to see the outside world, and he is worried that she will not come back in the future."
Chen Jinzhi was amused and laughed, shook his head and said:
"I'll be back."
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Chen Jinzhi would give the same answer like him, and be as sure as she was.
"How are you so sure?"
"If your heart is here, you can't get far no matter how hard you walk."
Chen Jinzhi raised his head and looked at the kite fluttering slightly in the sky.
It was getting late and the sun was setting. Swallows and kites flew over half of the red sunset glow, as if they were hovering in the flowing fire.
"Is there a possibility that the flowers will become more charming?"
Su Chengyi thought for a while and asked.
After all, there have been many such examples in the past. The city's feasting, feasting, and revelry are still very attractive.
"No, at least not for children who grow up like them."
Chen Jinzhi's tone was still very determined.
As if to respond to her words, the children on the other side suddenly noticed something and started to chirp collectively.
Zhuoma jumped up and waved to Chen Jinzhi, smiling brightly and shouting:
"Sister! Pangdun's sheep has given birth to a lamb!"
Listen carefully, yes, you can vaguely hear a few faint "bleeps" among the noise, which is the sound of the newborn lamb.
"Okay, I'll be right over."
Chen Jinzhi nodded at her, responded with a smile, then turned to look at Su Chengyi and said:
"Teacher Su, don't you think so?"
"Of course I think so." Su Chengyi shook his head and explained:
"What I just said to Gyatso probably means the same thing as what you said.
However, we should consider things more comprehensively, just like when debating, we also need to write manuscripts of opposing viewpoints. ”
"If you put aside the attraction and novelty of the city, what if freedom is involved?"
Su Chengyi put forward another point of view.
"She was just born here. She has the right to visit other places. If she goes to another place in the future and wants to stay there, it seems reasonable?"
"Of course."
Chen Jinzhi's tone was gentle. She stretched out her hand and gently pulled back the string of the kite.
"Rationally speaking, we cannot rule out the possibility, but you and I both know that it won't happen.
And you can't say she's not free. ”
"Why?"
Su Chengyi took the wheel in her hand and slowly retracted the cowhide string that tied the kite in circles.
"Because I am willing to stay here. This is a kind of willingness and freedom of choice.
Just like a kite needs such a string to bind it. Teacher Su. ”
Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes to look at him, his expression rare and serious.
“When the kite floats alone in the sky, what you feel must not be freedom, but fear.
Compared with a kite, the sky is too vast. I don’t know how long the wind will carry me and I don’t know where I will land in the end.
Such freedom is so endless. ”
"You're right."
Su Chengyi frowned slightly, and was once again easily convinced by Chen Jinzhi's expression.
When people live in this world, they must have what they want, otherwise they will be like a wandering soul, always feeling like their feet are not touching the ground.
Moreover, it is most appropriate and convincing for Chen Jinzhi to say this.
Because she understands this feeling better than anyone in the world. It sounds like she is talking about the kite, but in fact she is just talking about herself.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but tighten the kite string in his hand.
Because in addition to this one, there is another invisible kite string in his hand. Only he and Chen Jinzhi know about it in the world.
For some reason, Su Chengyi suddenly felt as if his heart was blocked, as if there was constant thunder rumbling in his heart, making him uneasy.
"."
What, is the thunder that will attack the scumbag come now?
Su Chengyi took a deep breath and coughed twice due to the wind and sand.
"Are you okay?"
Chen Jinzhi soon noticed his abnormal reaction, and immediately bent down and patted his back gently, with worry in his tone.
"It's okay."
Su Chengyi shook his head, temporarily driving away the abnormal reaction in his heart.
Do you really want to chop it?
If you really want to chop, just wait a little longer, today is not the time yet.
Su Chengyi complained secretly in his heart and declined today's judgment and retribution from God.
I don't know if his inner activities were really heard or something else, but this strange feeling really disappeared.
The children on the other side were all attracted by the newborn lamb. Chen Jinzhi asked Gyatso for a bowl of water and handed it to Su Chengyi's mouth.
"Drink a little bit first, don't drink too fast."
She warned him carefully, then touched his forehead to check if there was any abnormality in his body temperature compared with her own.
Su Chengyi nodded, took a sip of water at the height of her hand holding the bowl, and saw the faint bandage on her cuffs.
When taking care of others, he takes care of everything, as if he can't make any mistakes, but he obviously makes a mess of taking care of himself.
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, covering up his complicated thoughts, and drank the bowl of water to the bottom.
"Are you two going to see the lamb?"
Gyatso asked as he took the water bowl he had finished drinking.
"Wait a minute, I'll stay here with him for a while, you go and play first~"
Chen Jinzhi smiled softly and said this.
"Okay."
Gyatso nodded, raised his head and glanced at Su Chengyi with emptied eyes, curled his lips and said:
"Are you ashamed that you still need someone to accompany you when you are so old?"
Su Chengyi said "hmm" without changing his expression, and then shouted to the other side:
"Dolma!"
"What's the matter, big brother?"
The little girl emerged from the crowd and responded with a smile.
"Gyatso just told me that you are stupid and timid. I won't take you with me next time there is a secret operation."
Su Chengyi said seriously.
"What?? Gyatso!!"
Zhuoma was so angry that her pigtails almost stood up, and she ran over immediately.
"No, I didn't say that!"
Gyatso could not argue at all. He only had time to glare at Su Chengyi resentfully, then hurriedly picked up the bowl and ran away.
"Stop!"
"I don't!"
The two ran away one after the other.
Su Chengyi sneered "ha", carefully put away the kite string, and then lowered his head to check whether the swallow's wings were damaged.
"Childish ghost."
Chen Jinzhi smiled and sighed beside him, obviously helpless about his arrogant behavior.
"You should treat children in a childish way."
Su Chengyi said calmly without raising his head.
"That's right."
Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and watched him treat the kite carefully.
"Did you say you wanted to make a little swallow kite? Teacher Su."
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi nodded, thought for a while, and then added:
"Thinking of what you said before, I chose the swallow."
There is no need to hide this kind of thing, because Chen Jinzhi must have roughly guessed this reason the moment he saw the swallow-shaped kite.
Chen Jinzhi is so smart that people always think of the phrase "the best wisdom will inevitably lead to injury".
Su Chengyi really felt that this was not a good word, so he rarely thought about it this way.
"Thank you."
Chen Jinzhi sighed lightly and turned his head to look at the setting sun on the other side that was about to disappear into the mountains.
Su Chengyi raised his eyes and saw the orange color reflected in her beautiful pupils, which made the whole outline of her body very warm.
Chen Jinzhi looked into the distance, seemingly in a daze.
After a long while, she spoke again:
"Does Teacher Su know? On the other side of the desert, near the hotel, there is a big poplar tree. Sometimes when I can't sleep at night, I will get up and look at the reflection of the tree from the window.
Xiao Shui doesn't like this kind of tree. It's not beautiful and looks dull. I like it very much because it reminds me of you. ”
"Why?"
Su Chengyi was slightly startled and asked subconsciously.
"I can't tell, it's probably a kind of emotional sustenance."
Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and smiled softly.
"Only the free wind will blow the tree of Mu."
