The legacy of Emei Mei

On the second day of the first lunar month, Hu Yue got up at six o'clock in the morning, but his heart was always restless for some reason. He polished his leather shoes twice, but he still felt they were not shiny enough. He changed his ties one after another, but they still felt they didn't fit. Finally, he tied on a red one. At midnight the first night, Hu Yue suddenly received a call from his ex-wife - in fact, he still regarded her as his wife in his heart - Yang Yang, telling him that he was coming to Emei to visit him on the second day of the first lunar month. After Hu Yue received Yang Yang's call, soreness and pain rushed into her throat, her heart ached, and she couldn't sleep all night. For three years, there has been no news from Yang Yang, and Hu Yue has always believed that she will come back to see him one day. Yang Yang was flying back to Chengdu from Beijing early in the morning and asked Hu Yue to pick her up at the airport.

Three years ago, Hu Yue and Yang Yang divorced. When the two divorced, Hu Yue never knew where Yang Yang was. She couldn't even say goodbye to each other, and they were separated from each other from then on.

Hu Yue and Yang Yang met by chance. One day in mid-August five years ago, Hu Yue, who had just completed her junior year at a university, returned to her hometown in Emei during summer vacation. Although Hu Yue is from Emei, he has never even visited the famous fairyland in front of him. Hu Yue decided to use this summer vacation to visit the upper reaches of Mount Emei to appreciate the charm of the fairy mountain. Hu Yue climbed to the top of the Golden Summit in just one morning. The weather was very sunny that day, with a cool breeze blowing from time to time. Hu Yue sat on the edge of the open space on the golden roof, looking at the snow-white clouds staying quietly in the boundless blue sky. She suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and her heart was filled with an inexplicable excitement. I really want to sing loudly to the sky. At this moment, a red dress floated into his eyes. On the other side of the open space, a girl was standing there, looking at the bright sky in ecstasy, seemingly lost in thought, her bright red dress fluttering gently in the cool breeze. The girl wears a sun hat, and her long black hair hangs like a waterfall from the brim of the hat to her lower back. She carries a small and exquisite women's bag on her back, and wears a pair of light white travel shoes. She has a slender figure and fair skin. A pair of big watery eyes adorn her pretty face. While Hu Yue was staring intently at the beauty in front of her, the girl stepped forward and suddenly bumped into a protruding stone bag on the ground. Her whole body suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground with a "plop" sound. . Hu Yue didn't come back to her senses. She was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up with a "huh", rushed to the girl's side in a few steps, and helped her up.

"Did you fall?" Hu Yue asked instinctively.

The girl groaned and sat sideways on the ground again, stroking back the hair that covered her face with her hands. Only then did Hu Yue see clearly that there was a scratch on the bridge of the girl's nose and her nostrils were bleeding. He quickly took out the handkerchief and handed it over. The girl took the handkerchief and covered her nostrils. After a while, she regained her breath and said softly: "Thank you!"

In this way, the two people got acquainted. The girl told Hu Yue that her name was Yang Yang and she was from Beijing. She went to university in Beijing and would be a senior next semester. Like Hu Yue, she had never been to Mount Emei once. She also wanted to use this summer vacation to visit Mount Emei, so she came by herself.

Hu Yue, who was already handsome and had a simple and honest manner, quickly won Yang Yang's favor. Hu Yue and Yang Yang sat on the open space and started talking. From the old professor accidentally losing the heel of his shoe when he was wearing high heels in class, to talking about male classmates playing pranks and writing love letters to a male classmate in the name of a certain girl. I don't know. We spent most of the afternoon talking. They both felt that they were very compatible, so they met to rest at the Golden Summit for a night, and watched the sunrise from the Golden Summit together early the next morning. In the next few days, the two traveled together, leaving their intimate footprints in Leshan Giant Buddha, Guo Moruo's former residence, and Jiajiang Thousand Buddha Rocks. Because Yang Yang had to go to school early to participate in social practice activities organized by the department, the two had to end their travel together. When they were about to leave, they both saw a strange emotion in each other's eyes, but neither one revealed anything too much. They only left each other's contact address and phone number.

In the next year, although Hu Yue missed each other a little, and the happy days of traveling together always appeared in front of his eyes, but strangely enough, he never called the other party once, nor did he call her once. Never wrote a letter. Especially when graduation was approaching, because Hu Yue was busy contacting the receiving unit all day long, she gradually forgot about Yang Yang.

After graduation, Hu Yue went to teach in a middle school not far from home.

One day, the school had just finished its parent-teacher meeting and was about to go on winter vacation. Hu Yue was packing up his teaching tools in the office and preparing to go home. The school guard came to call him:

"Teacher Hu, there is someone looking for you at the school gate."

Hu Yue followed the guard to the gate. At a glance, he saw a girl wearing a red spacesuit and a red lady's hat wandering anxiously outside the door. Just as he looked at the girl's slender figure and a waterfall of hair, the floodgates of memory opened instantly, and he recognized the other person. By this time, the girl had also recognized him.

"Yang Yang!"

"Hu Yue!"

The two called each other's names almost at the same time. After a few seconds of pause, the two Their hands were clasped together, their eyes were staring at each other, and neither of them could say a word. Suddenly, both parties suddenly pulled each other into their arms, hugging each other tightly like a pair of long-lost lovers, unwilling to separate for a long time.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see the snowy scenery of Golden Summit, can't I?"

"How did you find me?" ”

“When I arrived at your house, there was no one there. Your neighbor told me the location of your school, so I found him.”

Hu Yue took Yang Yang to Emei County. After Yang Yang had packed up her house, he took her to a hotel and held a banquet to welcome her.

They arrived at the hotel, and a beautiful waitress led them into a couple's private room called "Lifetime Fate". In the elegant room, the wall lamp exudes a faint soft light. There is a vase of plastic roses in the middle of a small dining table. A pair of bright red candles are lit in the glasses at both ends of the table. There are also graceful candles floating in the room. Piano music makes people feel as if they are walking on the avenue under the hazy moonlight on a summer night.

After two glasses of red wine, each other talked to each other about their respective situations. Yang Yang told Hu Yue that her life was very difficult. Her parents died of illness one after another when she was in her second year of high school. Her already poor family was saddled with tens of thousands of yuan in debt. It was a boss who funded her to complete high school and college, and later she wanted to continue She was sent to study in the United States, but she refused and joined her boss's company as his assistant. This time, her boss took her to take two clients from the United States to travel to Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei. She lied to her boss and said she wanted to see a relative from Emei whom she had not seen for many years, so she took a month off to see him.

She also told Hu Yue that in the more than a year after they separated, the scene when Hu Yue helped her up at Jinding often came to her mind, and every time she mustered up the courage to give her a hand. He made a phone call or wrote a letter to express his gratitude, but in the end he failed to do so. When she said these words, there seemed to be a trace of sadness in her twinkling eyes.

When talking about this, Yang Yang suddenly changed the topic.

"Hu Yue, you haven't told me yet that your girlfriend is your colleague, right?" Yang Yang asked.

"How can I have a girlfriend? I am still a bachelor." Hu Yue said embarrassedly.

Yang Yang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and he said softly "Oh".

"Then why don't you bring your husband to Mount Emei for a walk?" Hu Yue asked.

"Like you, this little girl is also alone." Yang Yang replied with a smile.

As another melodious piano music played, the atmosphere in the private room became more and more lively.

"It seems that the two of us are alone." Hu Yue said

"No, it should be a man and a woman alone!" Yang Yang said.

"Then let's drink to the lonely man and widow!"

"Cheers!"

The two picked up the red wine, clinked their glasses, and drank it down.

The bottle of red wine was almost empty, and Yang Yang's white face was filled with blushes.

"I think I will gain something from this trip to Emei..."

"Emei has many specialties. What do you like?"

"What do you like? This... is my secret..."

That night, the two of them talked for a long time in the private room, and it was not until late at night that they supported each other and returned home.

During that winter vacation, Hu Yue and Yang Yang became a couple.

A month passed quickly.

Yang Yang returned to Beijing.

People who are passionately in love cannot bear loneliness. Hu Yue and Yang Yang are thousands of miles apart, and the pain of missing each other can only be told in a phone call a day and a love letter every three days. More than half a year later, when Hu Yue was on summer vacation, Yang Yang hurried back to Emei from Beijing and got married to Hu Yue. Hu Yue had never been to Beijing before, and wanted Yang Yang to take him to Beijing for his honeymoon and to have a nice trip to Beijing during the summer vacation. But Yang Yang told him that when she saved enough money in Beijing, established her footing, and bought a house, they would settle down in Beijing together and there would be plenty of opportunities for fun. So the two spent a month of their honeymoon in Emei.

Late one night, Hu Yue and Yang Yang had just fallen into a sweet dream when they were suddenly awakened by the ringing of their mobile phones. Hu Yue heard Yang Yang answering the phone in the darkness. He turned on the wall lamp and saw that his wife looked a little panicked. When Yang Yang saw Hu Yue woke up, he quickly got up and went outside to answer the phone. After a while, Yang Yang returned to the new house. His eyes were a little red, as if he had cried.

"Who called?" Hu Yue asked.

"The boss's phone number." Yang Yang said.

"Why do you go outside to make a phone call?" Hu Yue said with concern, "It's late at night, don't catch a cold!"

"I'm afraid of disturbing you."

< p> "Why are you crying? Does the company want you to go back?"

"The boss wants me to rush back immediately and go on a business trip with him to the United States to discuss a business. It may take a long time. But I I really can't bear to leave you!" Yang Yang hugged Hu Yue and cried sadly.

Hu Yue put her arm around Yang Yang's neck and patted her back gently with the other: "Stop crying, ah? Just go back. Work is important, and we will spend a lot of time together in the future." !"

Hu Yue paused and then advised: "You should go back early and help the kind boss, so as not to let him down!" Upon hearing this, Yang Yang cried even more sadly. , crying until morning, making Hu Yue feel choked in her heart.

On the third day, Hu Yue accompanied his wife to the airport. When helping his wife change her boarding pass and sending her through the security checkpoint, Yang Yang said to Hu Yue: "I went to the United States on a business trip and the phone stopped working. Don't call me either. I'll be back." I will call you. I will miss you every day!" After saying that, Yang Yang covered his mouth that was about to cry and left without looking back.

A few days after Yang Yang left, Hu Yue's school started. The newlywed wife left, and Hu Yue's heart felt like ants biting her all day long, and she seemed to have another uneasiness. Especially at night, I always toss and turn and can't fall asleep. Even if I fall asleep occasionally, my dreams are all about Yang Yang in a red dress with long hair. One night at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, he knew that Yang Yang had told her that her mobile phone was unreachable, but he finally couldn't help but dial Yang Yang's mobile phone number. Unexpectedly, the phone was connected. Before he could wait for the other party to speak, he shouted excitedly: "Is it Yang Yang?"

But there was a deep voice on the other party's phone that seemed to be in a daze. The voice said: "Who are you? Wrong number!" and then hung up. Hu Yue felt strange and thought she had dialed the wrong number. When she dialed again, she found that the other party's phone had been turned off. In the next few days, I never got through again. Hu Yue checked the company's phone number again and called to ask. The other party said that Yang Yang and the boss were on a business trip and knew nothing else. When asked about the boss's phone number, they said it was confidential. In this way, Hu Yue never contacted his wife. Later, he thought that Yang Yang had said that he was on a business trip to the United States, so he might not use that mobile phone number. Besides, she said she would call when she got back, so he listened to his wife and stopped calling. He turned his longing for his wife into his care for his students and devoted himself to teaching.

In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Day of the second year. That afternoon, Hu Yue received a letter whose address was missing. When he took it apart and took a look, he was immediately dizzy. After being stunned for a long time, he ran home like crazy and called Yang Yang's cell phone, but Yang Yang's cell phone was shut down. It turned out that the letter was sent by Yang Yang and contained a divorce agreement. Yang Yang only left a few words to Hu Yue in the letter:

"Dear, forgive me! Let's get a divorce. Don't ask why, I will tell you one day!"

Hu Yue didn't know what happened to his wife. He thought about it all night and decided to go to Beijing to find Yang Yang. Early the next morning, he went to the principal's house to ask for leave and told the principal that his wife was seriously ill and he wanted to go to Beijing to see her.

After Hu Yue arrived in Beijing, she called Yang Yang’s company directly. When asked, they all said that Yang Yang had resigned for more than a month. As for where he was, no one knew, and no one knew where he lived now. Know. He went to see his boss, and the new assistant told him that his boss was on a business trip to Hong Kong and would not come back until two months later. Hu Yue looked for it according to the ID card address left when she and Yang Yang applied for their marriage certificate, but that place turned out to be a bungalow, which had been completely demolished two months ago. Unwilling to give up, he searched for the postmark address of the letter that sent the divorce agreement, and also went to the police station to check, but found nothing. In a blink of an eye, half a month's leave was up, and I had no choice but to return to Emei.

After returning to Emei, Hu Yue received another letter from Yang Yang, which said:

"I know you came to Beijing to find me. Stop being stubborn. You can't find me." Mine. For your own good, we must divorce! Please remember, I married you because I loved you, and now I divorce you because of my love for you!"

Yang Yang still believes it! Zhong told Hu Yue that after the divorce certificate is obtained, it will be sent directly to the boss of the company and she will receive it.

A poem was attached at the end of the letter:

The river in the sky is so wide

The stars in the river are brilliant

Why are the gods so ruthless?

Let the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait look at each other but not see each other

It is the magpie who has the intention

Only then does the Qiqi meeting happen once a year< /p>

Actually

They are long-lasting lovesickness

They are sad stories one by one

How could the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl not know< /p>

The peacock is still wandering to the southeast

The white snake still lives under the Leifeng Pagoda

The silkworms spin silk every day

The candles shed tears every night

Reading his wife’s letter, the honest and helpless Hu Yue was in agony. After painful reflection, he agreed to divorce. He cut out the photo of the two of them taken when they were applying for the marriage certificate, took the photo, and through friends, went through the divorce procedures without Yang Yang being present, but the divorce certificate was never sent. He didn't hate her because he felt there was no reason to hate someone he loved, and that's the case even today, three years later.

It has been three years, and my former lover is coming to see me. Hu Yue came to the airport passenger exit early and waited. After waiting all morning, Yang Yang's plane arrived at the airport. Hu Yue stared closely at every passenger who came out, her heart beating continuously. It was not until the passengers were almost finished leaving that Hu Yue saw the figure who was thinking about dreams. She was still wearing red clothes and a lady's hat, also red, with long waterfall-like hair hanging down from the brim of the hat to her waist. She was holding a little girl of about two years old and didn't bring any luggage. When the haggard-looking Yang Yang stood in front of Hu Yue, his eyes met, full of tears, and no one could say a word. The two stood in silence for a while before Yang Yang spoke:

"Hu Yue, this is your child, called Hu Xiaoyang. Yoko, call me daddy."

Hu Yue. Zi was stunned. At this moment, two female policemen came up, one on the left and one on the right. They suddenly grabbed Yang Yang and walked towards a police car that stopped behind them at some point.

Hu Yue didn’t know what happened and stared at the police blankly. The little girl burst into tears and shouted: "Mom! Mom!"

"Wait a minute." Yang Yang said to the policewoman who was holding her, and then turned back to Hu Yue and said: " Please take care of our children!"

Hu Yue seemed to come to her senses, picked up Yoko, and rushed to pull Yang Yang away. A male policeman next to the police car stopped him and said, "Please don't hinder us. Performing official duties!" After that, he drove Yang Yang away, leaving only Hu Yue who was at a loss and Yoko who was crying for her mother.

Hu Yue took Yoko back to Emei that night. When he was holding the sleeping Yoko and sitting in the room where he had lived with Yang Yang for a month, he suddenly found a few folded papers in the bulging pocket on Yoko's chest. He quickly took them out and saw that they were written by Yang Yang. his letter.

"Hu Yue:

I wrote this to you on the plane. I knew that I might not be able to return to Emei with you. Because when the plane first started, I had a premonition , it seems that the police are chasing me.

There is a secret that I have been hiding from you. I originally thought that if I could get rid of that nightmare and live happily with you, I would keep that secret forever. bury.

But I really couldn't get rid of it, which caused us endless pain. It's time for me to tell you that secret.

The boss who sponsored my studies forced me to become his lover when I was a freshman. That time, when I traveled to Mount Emei, I looked at the endless sky and layers of white clouds at the Golden Summit. I suddenly felt how insignificant a person is and how meaningless life is. So, I had the idea of ??passing away on the Golden Summit. But meeting you happened to arouse the longing for love buried deep in my heart as a woman. For more than a year after I broke up with you for the first time, I also thought about contacting you, but I felt that I was someone else's lover, a spurned girl, and not worthy of a pure young man like you. Later, when I accompanied an American client to Mount Emei, I couldn't help but come to see you. I made up my mind to pursue my happiness.

But the relationship between you and me was discovered by the boss, and he ordered me to leave you. I refused, and instead hurriedly married you. I thought, if I marry you, he might let me go. Unexpectedly, when he found out that I was married to you, he flew into a rage and forced me to leave you immediately, otherwise he would kill you. I had no choice but to leave you and return to Beijing. Soon I found out I was pregnant with your child. For your safety and to keep our children, I had no choice but to agree to live with him. He is a complete pervert, and he hates my relationship with you very much, and he tortures me in different ways almost every day. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I lied to him that I was pregnant with his child, and he calmed down a lot. Later, I found out that he sent two people to Emei to investigate you. I was afraid that he would kill you, so I had to force you to divorce me.

After I gave birth to the child, he began to torture me again, making my life worse than death. I also thought about using the law to solve it, but even if a devil like him is sent to prison, will he let us go after he comes out? I once wanted to just die, but when I thought of your child and me, I held back. I think one day I will hand over my child to you. Just on New Year's Eve this year, he got drunk and tortured me for half the night. I'm going crazy. After he fell asleep, I tied him to the bed and cut off his lower body with his razor blade. I booked a flight ticket through the company early the next morning and fled to stay near the airport for one night. Called you.

Hu Yue, my dear husband, please forgive me for lying to you. I am here to hand the child over to you this time. I hope you will love her well. If you don't dislike me, I really want to be with you!

Okay, that’s all.

Love your wife Yang Yang”

Hu Yue looked at Yang Yang’s letter and was stunned for a long time. Suddenly he ran to the courtyard outside the room and faced the dark night. Emeishan howled heart-breakingly, no one could hear what he was shouting, and no one heard him. Only the lonely darkness floated in the vast night sky...
