Chapter 7 High Mountains and Flowing Waters

The car stopped again and someone got in.

"How long does it take to get to the downtown station?"

He Shiling looked at the ticket seller walking over and asked.

"Traffic jam is half an hour. No traffic jam, twenty minutes."

"Okay, thank you." He Shiling looked at her watch. It was 16:15 now, and it was not too late.

After twenty minutes, I could sleep for a while, suddenly I thought of the person’s reminder and smiled, OK, let’s take a look at the scenery outside the window.

Looking at the changing scenery outside the window, this place is different from the road she passed by before. There are no large fields and crops, and it catches your eyes. Instead, the road is bent from time to time. The roadside is covered with slightly goose-yellow weeping willows. Looking through the willow branches, there are neat orchards, which look very layered.

The scenery in front of you really corresponds to Li Yu's words: Willows are long, spring rain is thin, and flowers are leaking out loud.

The car drove forward in the middle of such a road, occasionally stopping and someone got into the car.

When the scenery of the car windows began to change into the same-type street lights that were replaced in sequence, the road outside the window gradually became wider. There were also more cars, but the buses were slowing down and they were almost moving forward.

It seems that I have already left Yunling County and am about to arrive in Jingyun City. He Shiling took a look and saw the watch, 16:30.

He slightly adjusted his sitting position and looked around the car.

There was no sound of talking or laughing in the car, and everyone leaned quietly on their seats.

Light music flowed slowly in the carriage. After listening to the melody carefully, He Shiling smiled. It turned out to be the mountains and flowing water! Thinking of the warm smile of someone in front of the platform and a series of things that happened in the morning, she couldn't help but look at the seat on the left.

I found that there was already a person sitting in the seat on the left.

The vermilion thin-framed glasses, the brown slightly curly waist-length hair, smoothly combed behind the head, revealing a smooth forehead, fair skin, and a thin vermilion leather bag belt extends from the shoulders to the knees.

At this moment, she was very focused on turning the book on her knees.

He Shiling took a look inadvertently and was surprised to find that it was an English version of the book. She couldn't help but look at the pages:

“it was a rimy morning, and ver seen the damp lyingthe outsidemy little window,if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.…”

"Great expectations!" He Shiling said softly.

That was Dickens' "The Great Future". During the winter vacation, he had just finished reading the work with the help of the Oxford Bilingual Dictionary.

"Have you read it?" The man turned his head, his eyes were big, and he smiled with a very friendly feeling.

"I've seen it a little." He Shiling smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing."

"It's also the English version?" the man asked with a smile, clicking the pages in his hand.

"Yes." He Shiling nodded.

"Oh, very good! Can you talk for a few words?" The man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

"Okay." He Shiling smiled and responded, "This is the third chapter you are watching. Little Pip stole food from his sister's house and was preparing to rescue the fugitives he met in a rural cemetery. So far, there are five characters who have appeared, Little Pip, brother-in-law Qiao, sister, fugitive, and a young man."

"Not very good, you spoiled it." The man smiled.

"It shouldn't affect your mood when you keep watching, right?" He Shiling smiled. The man looked at him. He should be about thirty years old, dressed in fashion and steady, pleasing to the eye.

"How can I tell?" the man smiled, his big eyes curled into a beautiful meniscus.

"This book, sister, should have read it." He Shiling pointed to the pages of the book. The book could see the traces that had been read. She looked at the person in front of her and laughed. Of course, the book could not be read, but it might be borrowing. "Those who can read books in the car must have read the Chinese version a long time ago."

"Hehe" the man laughed, blocked his book in front of him, and for a moment, he put it down again, looking at He Shiling, "Very good, such a smart little girl, where are you studying?"

"Yunling Middle School." He Shiling smiled, "Thank you for your praise, sister, and also a person with Huizhilanxin."

"Is Yunling High School?" Zhu Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at He Shiling up and down, "It's very good. I heard that the students in this school are good. When I see you today, I believe that Yunling has a good reputation."

"Sister, it's too good," He Shiling smiled. This person is very good at chatting. "Yun Ling's teachers and classmates are good, there are many excellent students. I am just an extremely ordinary one."

"Is that? If you have the chance in the future, you must learn more about it." Zhu Yan smiled, looked at He Shiling, closed the book in her hand, and actually met such an interesting girl. "Depending on the situation, it will take a while to stand. Let's talk about this book."

"Okay." He Shiling responded with a smile and looked out the window. She was about to enter the city. There were many cars on the road and the cars were driving very slowly. It was indeed a while.

I looked back at the person in front of me and found that the person was smiling and looking at her without saying anything.

Are you waiting for her to speak? He Shiling pointed at herself.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhu Yan spoke: "I'm waiting for you."

"Where should we start?" He Shiling smiled, "I just spoiled it."

"Haha" Zhu Yan smiled, "From the perspective of appreciating the work, let's talk briefly."

"Okay. Then I'll show off my skills." He Shiling smiled and looked down at the book that had been closed. "This book, compared to Dickens's previous works, has a weak humor and a strong sense of depression. The scene is very desolate, and the beginning is like this, and the story begins in the church cemetery."

"Hmm?" Zhu Yan smiled and signaled her to continue talking.

"Although the ending looks optimistic, many years later, Pip returned and met Estella, whom he liked when he was young, more than ten years have passed. One has experienced many vicissitudes and the other has been widowed for many years. Both of them have left the mark of painful experiences. The cruelty of life cannot be avoided," He Shiling took a deep breath, "With a strong tragic color, this may be the power of the author's critical realism."

"After reading it, I can't help but be glad that I lived in the era." He Shiling paused for a moment, sighed in her heart. After reading it during the winter vacation, she felt depressed for a long time because of the tragic colors in the book.

"Yes, this is his work in his later years. At that time, he was experiencing great pain in marriage and emotions." Zhu Yan nodded, "Like you are ten years old and now, you have different understandings of the world, and some ideas will also change. As the author grows older and his understanding of society deepens, his thoughts are also undergoing changes. This book also expresses his views on life and human nature through the ups and downs of Pip's life in three stages. However, he still praises the valuable qualities of small people at the bottom of society."

"Well. Yes, although it is a depressing, the theme of love is always permeated in the article," He Shiling nodded thoughtfully. "Among these characters, I prefer Qiao, a kind and somewhat dull personality, and her selfless and simple love for Little Pip. It is this love that leads Pip. In the constant struggle between right and wrong, he gradually returns to his conscience, and Qiao himself lives a happy life with his second wife."

"What you give to life, life will give back to you in the same way, one day in the future." He Shiling paused, "Joe is a person with valuable qualities and sincere emotions. Be a person like Qiao, keep yourself clean, examine yourself three times, and help those around you who need help as much as possible. Even if it is a crescent moon, you must use the light of the light to illuminate the night people."

Zhu Yan looked at it again and found that the girl in front of her was a handsome girl with clear and spiritual eyes, and a slight smile on her face. Against the backdrop of the goose yellow jacket, it looks fresher and more refined, making people feel comfortable to look at.

Her voice was clear and neither fast nor slow, with a calm and calm conversation. Suddenly, she remembered a sentence: Looking at her words and deeds, she is not a mediocre person. Is this just an ordinary student of Yunling?

If so, then Yunling Middle School is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, and it is indeed as powerful as Lingnuo Middle School. If not, then this girl who is a self-righteous "very ordinary student" should also be a "character" in Yunling.

Suddenly I remembered that the students my friend Ding Kailing once mentioned came, but I don’t know how "excellent" such students should be.

Zhu Yan thought to herself, but it was soon. She was already on the way to Yunling, and she would slowly discover these "baby".
