Golden Waterfall (Old Draft)

The night sky was dark. When Ah Qi stood at the window of the small house in the darkness, he saw the string of lavender wind chimes in the air. It had been swaying there, smiling, as if it had grown longer. Staring at Ah Qi with eyes. It sneered and approached Ah Qi. The hairs all over Ah Qi's body stood up and her scalp was numb. Ah Qi shouted, "Don't pester me again." "Ah Qi, what's wrong?" A pair of soft and white hands held her shoulders from behind, "Xue'er, I..." Ah Qi said, and then the hands began to wrap around her neck like snakes, getting more and more It got tighter and tighter. Ah Qi began to be out of breath and screamed desperately, but she couldn't make a sound. Ah Qi burst into tears from the pain. Ah Qi couldn't escape. She was not afraid, but very sad. Ah Qi's tears kept pouring out...

A wet piece on the sheet opened with a "pop" With the lamp beside the bed, the illusion in my mind faded away, but the small interior, with a radius of a few square meters, was still black, and outside the window, there was an ink-colored world.

Ah Qi glanced at Xue'er, who was sleeping soundly next to her. She looked really cute sleeping soundly. Wearing a pink pajama skirt, she looked like a princess in her dream. Ah Qi looked at her quietly for a while and wanted to go to the balcony to get some air. Turning off the lights, he tiptoed to the balcony. The summer night breeze was still hot, which could not alleviate the irritability in his heart at all.

Ah Qi stood on the balcony and exhaled lightly, recalling the dream just now, still frightened. How could he dream of Xue'er? Ah Qi shook his head, and there were those strange strings of lavender wind chimes.

Ah Qi and Xue'er have always been very good sisters. They have been working for two years since they were freshmen in college. Ah Qi is twenty-four years old, and Xueer is one year younger than Ah Qi. Xueer is a body shaping master at W Beauty Salon, and Ah Qi is a freelance painter. In college, Xueer studied clinical medicine and Ah Qi studied painting. Ah Qi transferred from the clinical class to the art school. Just because Ah Qi has been obsessed with Chinese paintings since she was a child, and her father has a hobby of collecting Chinese paintings. The family has a collection of many authentic and fake paintings, large and small. Of course, due to limited financial conditions, none of them belong to famous painters. Although they changed departments, Ah Qi always lived with Xueer in college. After graduating from college, the two came to Hangzhou together.

Ah Qi said: "Xue'er, where do you want to go after graduating from college?" Xue'er replied without hesitation: "Hangzhou." Ah Qi asked why, Xue'er smiled mischievously: " Haha, living by the West Lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery every day, Ah Qi can also paint. I want Ah Qi to paint me and the West Lake and make it a masterpiece."

Ah Qi is like a big sister. He also scratched the tip of Xue'er's little nose, and then tickled Xue'er's armpits. Xue'er was naturally ticklish and rolled on the bed laughing.

Xueer is a beautiful girl with snow-white skin, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a baby face, which makes people feel a sense of love and affection in their hearts. Xueer's star face also caused her a lot of trouble. There were constant love letters in college, which made Xueer never have a peaceful life. Later, Xueer simply moved with Ah Qi and rented a small house outside the school. . The small house is in an elegant residential area. No one is allowed to enter. After moving outside, Xue'er's life has indeed become a lot cleaner. She can concentrate on reading. Xue'er is a quiet girl who doesn't show off her sharp edge. .

In college, Ah Qi often went out to sketch with a drawing board and paints on her back. Ah Qi liked to paint landscapes the most, followed by figure paintings. As for figures, Ah Qi usually only painted Xueer. Ah Qi often painted Xueer in life. Some small shots captured in the film, Xueer's frown and smile, can be found in Ah Qi's drawings.

After graduation, Ah Qi worked as an art consultant for a cultural communication company for nearly a year. Later, he resigned and began to paint freely. Ah Qi accumulated a lot of paintings, but they have not been sold yet. Her father said that he would do everything in his power to support her in painting, because she was fulfilling her father's unfinished wish. My father is now the CEO of a cultural communication company. When his father was young, he was too obsessed with painting and ignored other things, which led to his death. His mother abandoned him. Later, his father began to collect Chinese paintings by famous artists. When Ah Qi was a child, there were many Chinese paintings in the house. Up, and then more and more. My father once pawned almost everything in the house in order to buy paintings. Then, after the family had nothing but paintings, my father began to cheer up as if he was a different person, and then founded a cultural communication company with his own efforts. It has been six years, and the company is now small. The company where Ah Qi once worked in Hangzhou was a branch of his father. Ah Qi once worked as an art consultant, but later her father said that with Qi Qi’s talent, she should be a painter instead of a consultant.

How could you dream of Xueer? Ah Qi stood on the balcony and murmured to herself. Ah Qi is already very familiar with the night sky in early summer in Hangzhou. She once sat on the balcony and watched the night sky all night, and then used her own memory to express the night sky in the form of traditional Chinese painting the next day, as well as the woman looking at the stars under the night sky. , Ah Qi just replaced the woman with Xue'er.

Ah Qi’s boyfriend is also from an art college and is a cartoonist. His name is Sun Nan.

Sun Nan has now signed a contract with a comic publishing company in Shanghai to write specifically for it. Sun Nan has also become somewhat famous in the comics industry.

I remember that the last time Sun Nan came to see her, she went out to sketch.

When I came back, I saw Sun Nan and Xueer sitting on the sofa in the hall. Xueer quickly shouted: "Qiqi, Sun Nan is here." Qiqi had already seen Sun Nan, and she couldn't restrain her excitement and threw herself into Sun Nan's arms. Xueer wisely stepped away and answered the phone and said she had to go out for something. That day and night, they kept lingering and never tired.

After not seeing each other for three months, the two of them were like lovers who had been separated for several lifetimes, wanting to rub each other into their bodies.

"Qiqi, my comic publishing company no longer wants my paintings. They think they are not commercial enough." Sun Nan sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and the smoke ring slowly rose. Floating towards the white and transparent glass lampshade.

Qiqi was silent and then asked: "Let my father help you with publicity?"

Sun Nan shook his head: "It's the same whether it's publicity or not. They want me to join more It's a thrilling plot, but I don't like those messy things."

"So you resigned." Qiqi asked.

Sun Nan smiled silently. Qiqi patted his head lovingly and smiled.

Sun Nan rented a small house nearby, and went out to sketch with Qiqi every day while carrying a drawing board. Qiqi painted rainbows after the rain, while Sun Nan painted rabbits in the forest, big trees, and rivers.

Sun Nan's long hair grew longer and longer, and later she simply tied it into a small braid and threw it behind her head.

Slowly, when Sun Nan painted figures, Xueer gradually began to become his model. Cher has the best figure among the models I have ever seen. Sun Nan and Qiqi both think so.

Sun Nan began to take more and more portraits of Xueer. Whenever Xue'er takes a break, Sun Nan basically helps Xue'er paint in the studio. Qiqi always smiles quietly, puts her drawing board on her back and goes out to sketch.

Every day, they have dinner together, and Qiqi usually goes home to cook. Qiqi’s most famous dish is braised pork ribs.

One day, Qiqi rode his bicycle to a nearby forest to paint. What Qiqi painted that day was a waterfall. Before he was halfway through the painting, the sky suddenly turned dark and a storm was coming. Qiqi quickly packed up her things and ran deep into the forest. There is a small wooden house deep in the forest. Qiqi asked people to build it for her half a year ago. Qiqi would occasionally spend the night there. When she ran to the door of the cabin, a thunderstorm was coming down overhead. The sky was torn apart by lightning, and the face was hideous.

Qiqi closed the wooden door tightly, turned on the rechargeable flashlight in her backpack, found the small bed covered with quilts and lay down. Feeling cold all over. It was the sweat from exhaustion that soaked my clothes. Qiqi took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Xue'er and Sun Nan, but the thunderstorm in the sky suddenly crackled. Qiqi's mobile phone was knocked to the ground. When she picked it up again, there was no signal. This is a silent night, a dark night. The light of the flashlight quickly dimmed, Qiqi simply turned it off, and heard the howling of wolves in the distance.

Sun Nan and Xueer must be worried about me. Qiqi thought.

In fact, both Sun Nan and Xue'er lost track of time in the studio. Sun Nan helped Xue'er draw nude paintings one after another, painting Xue'er as a charming goddess or succubus. Cher giggled at each painting.

"Xue'er, you are so beautiful." Sun Nan murmured, as if talking in his sleep. His hands gradually touched Xueer's smooth body.

Xueer chuckled, "Aren't you afraid that Sister Qiqi will know?"

Sun Nan chuckled: "Qiqi? No way." Then he said, "Qiqi is a simple person. She is devoted to me."

Xueer's body slowly melted in his big palm, turning into soft white clouds and marshmallows, and He lay in this pile of soft and fragrant flesh.

When they woke up, the sky was already slightly bright.

"Oh my god, Sister Qiqi didn't come back all night." Xueer shouted, getting up and putting on her shorts and bra.

Sun Nan took it off stubbornly. She asked as if mumbling in her sleep: "Then where will she go?"

Xueer opened the window and saw the withered yellow leaves all over the ground and the moist patch of ground, "Oh my God, it rained last night, Qiqi She must still be in the cabin in the forest. Shall we go find her?" Sun Nan raised his eyes and smiled, kissed one of the nipples, and said with a smile, "Okay, I will listen to whatever Xueer said, let's go find her. She. "

By the time they got dressed and were ready to go out, Qi Qi was already standing at the door covered in mud and knocking on the door.

"Sister Qiqi is back," Xueer shouted.

"Sister Qiqi, why are you like this?" Xue'er quickly made hot coffee for her and brought her a bath towel and soap for her to take a bath.

Qiqi took a shower in the bathroom, from head to toe, and came out wearing a large white nightgown.

"Qiqi, I couldn't get through to you yesterday." Sun Nan came over and handed the hot coffee to Qiqi.

Qiqi smiled apologetically: "I have to worry you. There was a heavy thunderstorm in the forest last night, the lightning was too strong, and the mobile phone had no signal."

Sun Nan put his big hand on She put him on Qiqi's back and said, "It's okay, just make sure you come back safely."

Don’t blame me for not looking for you, right? "

Qiqi turned around and smiled softly: "How could it be possible? The thunderstorm was so heavy last night, how could you find it? Besides, the forest is not safe at night, there will be wild animals. "

"Beast? "Sun Nan was surprised.

"Yes, the wolf howled in the middle of the night last night. I didn't dare to fall asleep, and there were wild boars coming to the arch. Fortunately, the wooden door was strong, so I used a few sticks to block it. "After saying that, the three of them all laughed.

"Sister Qiqi, you are so brave. Come and let me toast you." "Xue'er picked up a cup of hot coffee and clinked the cup with Qiqi.

"Then you have a good rest today. "Sun Nan said gently, gently massaging Qiqi's shoulders. Qiqi closed her eyes comfortably and nodded gently.

"I'll make breakfast, Sister Qiqi, what do you want to eat? ? "When Xueer said this, Qiqi was already lying in Sun Nan's arms and fell asleep, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Sun Nan gently carried Qiqi to the bed. , walked out the door quietly.

"Sun Nan, I don't think we should treat Sister Qiqi like this. "When Sun Nan tiptoed into the kitchen and hugged Xueer's slender waist from behind, Xueer said softly.

"What do you say? "Sun Nan's hand began to move up and down dishonestly again. His hand slid down from between her breasts to Xue'er's soft belly, and then continued to explore downward.

Xue'er's hand The carrot fell to the ground. Xue'er leaned against the wall weakly, and blood flowed down Xue'er's legs again. "Sun Nan noticed the abnormality and looked at the blood flowing out between Xue'er's white legs, and asked in disbelief.

Xue'er nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry. , I don’t know, sorry. "Sun Nan quickly withdrew, arranged her clothes and wanted to leave.

Xue'er's tears welled up: "I want to ask you for something. "

"What? "Sun Nan asked calmly.

"Don't leave Sister Qiqi. "

"That's between me and her. Sun Nan replied indifferently.

Xueer stopped talking.

At the dinner table, Qiqi noticed something unusual and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you two?" Sun Nan coughed uncomfortably and forced a smile: "It's nothing." "

"Qiqi, I have something to say to you. "Qiqi was washing dishes in the kitchen, her hands covered with foam. She turned to Sun Nan's pale face and asked with a smile, "You are acting weird today. "

"I want to say that we may not be suitable for each other. How about I leave for a while, maybe you will meet a better person. "Qiqi's foam-covered hands froze in mid-air, and the white porcelain plate fell from mid-air and shattered on the other two plates. The fallen plate was shattered, and the two plates in the basin were also shattered.

Tears fell silently down Qi Qi's face, big drops of crystal clear tears. After a long time, Ah Qi finally spit out a few words from his throat: "Why? "Ah Qi saw Xue'er standing behind Sun Nan with a pale face, with shame and tears in her eyes.

Sun Nan smiled bitterly and turned pale.

Ah Qi then understood Oh, you shouldn't ask such a stupid question, if you don't love her, you don't love her anymore. Ah Qi suppressed her tears, took a long breath, and said very calmly: "Then go and take care of her. "

Ah Qi saw a bunch of lavender wind chimes in Xue'er's hand. It was given to her by Sun Nan when she and Sun Nan first met. Now, it is in Xue'er's hand. .

Sun Nan took Xue'er's hand and went out. Xue'er turned back with tears.

Ah Qi stopped looking at them and picked up all the pieces in the basin. In the trash can.

The next day, it was a sunny day. Ah Qi called a moving company and used a small truck to move some of his daily necessities to Ah Qi's cabin in the forest. Busy and busy, Ah Qi seemed to feel a lot happier.

A week later, Ah Qi started to paint across mountains and rivers with a drawing board and looked at the waterfall in the sun for a long time. , and finally concentrated on painting. At this time, Ah Qi suddenly heard a familiar call from behind. It was familiar and unfamiliar, like Xue'er's voice. Xue'er once accompanied her to the forest to paint and prepared it for her in the cabin. I often called her that during dinner.

Ah Qi didn’t look back, laughing at herself: “It must be an illusion. "

"Ah Qi. "The familiar voice sounded again.

Ah Qi began to doubt her hearing.

"Sister Qi Qi, it's time to eat. "Ah Qi finally turned around. She saw a girl in a white dress standing in the forest under the sunset, with gold behind her. She seemed to be held in a sea of ??gold. Her long dark brown hair was flowing out. Satin danced in the evening wind.

When Ah Qi stood up, the girl walked towards her with a smile, her dress like a burning sunset

"Sister Qiqi, it's time to go home for dinner. "She said this. It was as if she had never left her.

Ah Qi packed up the drawing board and returned to the cabin with complicated emotions.

Xueer made winter melon and shredded pork soup, braised pork ribs and stir-fried bean sprouts. Qiqi likes them all.

Qiqi didn’t speak. Many days passed, but Xue’er still called her like this, “Sister Qiqi, it’s time for dinner.”

Xue’er helped Qiqi clean up her drawing board and returned. To the cabin.

"Sister Qiqi, what do you want to eat today?"

"All good."

"Stewed meatballs, fish-flavored shredded chicken and stir-fried pork Liver."

Qiqi would eat with her chopsticks, lie down when she was tired, and go out to draw with her drawing board on her back when she woke up.

"Sister Qiqi, I bought a bottle of beauty lotion for you." Qiqi finally picked up the mirror and looked at her face. She saw unkempt hair, dull eyes, big eye bags and dark circles. Chapped lips. Qi Qi threw the mirror away, feeling hairy all over her body.

Qiqi finally took a shower and changed clothes. Qiqi began to use the beauty lotion bought by Xue'er, and Qiqi began to let Xue'er do facial care and even body care for her.

One day, Xueer finally said to Qiqi: "Let's move back, okay?"

Qiqi suddenly burst into tears, and her tears were uncontrollable.

Xueer patted her back like a coaxing child and said: "Okay, okay, Sister Qiqi likes the cabin, so we will stay in the cabin. We won't go back, we won't go back.".

One day Qiqi proudly told Xueer: "I have been painting waterfalls here for seven months, and finally I have painted what I want."

"Where?" Xue'er exclaimed in surprise.

Qiqi opened the picture very mysteriously. On the picture, there was a girl wearing a golden gauze dress standing in the fiery red sunset. Her footsteps seemed to be on the clouds. She was carrying a She walked toward an unknown front with a holy smile on her face, her eyes filled with piety and joy, and small golden beads jumping and rolling in her outstretched bright hands. The setting sun reflected a warm golden color behind her...

"Sister Qiqi..." Xueer was extremely happy when she saw this painting, but she lowered her eyelids and said, "I'm sorry." A crystal teardrop slid down Xueer's white cheek.

"Where is he?" Qiqi asked seemingly calmly.

"He went abroad to Japan."

"Didn't he take you with him?" Qiqi asked.

"I left on my own initiative."

"Why?"

"I feel that I can't leave the cabin."

Qiqi raised her eyes and looked at the serious expression on Xue'er's face, with piety and melancholy in her eyes. Qiqi wanted to laugh. Qiqi would never have such an expression. Qiqi's facial nerves were damaged and she has been suffering from it since she was a child. No smiles or expressions.

Ah Qi finally moved back to the city with Xueer and rented another one-bedroom apartment. Ah Qi's "Golden Waterfall" was auctioned for 30 million and was bought by an unknown Japanese private buyer.

It was an old man with gray hair. He said that there are many things hidden in this golden waterfall...
