Chapter 49 Sixteen Hills
My fingertips stopped, and the sound of the piano also stopped.
"I'm sorry, did I bother you?" one of the girls asked me.
"No." I turned my head and said coldly.
When they saw my appearance, they unconsciously said: "It's so beautiful, but it's so cold."
After I finished speaking, I reacted and said to me in pure French: "Sorry, I'm rude."
"It's okay. It's true." I answered them in fluent French.
They came towards me.
"allons-nous rester ici?" (Can we sit here please?)
"of course."
They sat down on the wooden chairs next to me.
"thank you."
"Excusez-moi, avez-vous jouer ce morceau?" (Excuse me, what song did you play just now?) The girl in the middle asked me.
"That one?" (I don't know how to write what follows in French, so I will write it directly in Chinese.)
"Which song did you play just now?" the person at the end asked me.
"Oh. I wrote that when I was bored. It popped up just now without me realizing it."
"Wow, that's great. That song is very nice."
I thanked them.
Then they asked me if I was a foreigner.
"why do you say so?"
"Feel."
"Oh, indeed. I am Chinese, but I grew up here. I just went back to China a while ago. I came here because of something."
"oh."
Then they asked me why I was here.
"For a walk. What about you?" Seeing that they were pretty good, I gradually became less cold.
They told me this.
They were students from a nearby high school and were all 16 years old. They asked me my age and name.
"There is a saying in China, girls age is a secret. But I can tell you that I am 16 years old like you. My name is Qianling Zibing. My English name is Ling."
They each told me their names. Their English names are Daisy, Mary, and Amy.
"Nice to meet you." They shook hands with me.
"Nice to meet you, too." I also shook my hand.
They then explained to me:
This place was originally called Sixteen Hills. This place is a place of faith for the girls here.
There is also a legend here. It turns out that this is a place where a man and a woman at school had a secret date. The man's family conditions are better, but the woman is very poor.
Therefore, many people were opposed to their relationship at the time. What's more, the man's family members were particularly prominent.
One day, they felt that they couldn't bear the public opinion of others, so they came here and decided to elope.
This plan was known to the man's parents. In order to stop their behavior, they came here to ask for someone. But neither of them was willing to compromise. At this time, the man's parents used their own bodies to stop it. The man had no choice but to agree to go home.
Two months passed like this, and there was no contact between the man and the woman. But one day the bad news came. The boy's parents wanted him to marry a girl who was the right match for him, but the boy refused. Finally one day, he committed suicide by taking poison in his room. When he committed suicide,
He also held a photo of the girl in his arms.
When the girl knew this, she felt that there was nothing she could do to survive.
So she came to this secret base and committed suicide next to the piano.
The lavender that was originally in this place miraculously formed a heart shape.
Since then, there has been a saying that as long as you come here on your 16th birthday, take a ribbon and tie it on the tree to make your wish with your lover, then the wish will come true.
Today is Mary's birthday, so she came here to make a wish.
"Oh, that's how it is."
"Yes. Mary has already promised. It's not too early now. By the way, Bing, do you have a mobile phone number? Let's exchange it."
"yes."
"Yes, it's 136*******."
"Okay, then let's call if you have anything to do. This is our school and our address. If you have anything to do, you can come to us."
"Yeah, I will."
"We are happy to become good friends with you."
"Me too. 88."
"Then let's go, 88."
After saying that, they turned around and left. I didn't expect that I would make friends, they were pretty good.
I turned around and looked up the tree: I wonder if I can come here to make a wish on my birthday. I wonder if Xuan can come with me.
