I can’t keep up with you!” Runye finally lifted her face and said with a smile.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Shao’an had to ease his long strides.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“I’m used to running up and down the gullies in the hills. Walking slow makes me itch,” he said.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Ah—look over there!” Runye pointed ahead to a grassy slope and called out.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Shao’an stopped and looked in the direction she pointed, but saw nothing unusual.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“What?” he asked, puzzled.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Cress flowers! Look—shiny blue!”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Shao’an thought it was something big. Turned out it was just a few wild cress flowers. He saw these kinds of wildflowers every day up in the hills—nothing special.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Runye had already run ahead and sat down beside the flowers, waiting for him.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">When he got there, she said, “Let’s sit here for a bit.”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">He sat down next to her, folding his arms, staring at the muddy-yellow Yuanxi River flowing quietly into the distance.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Runye picked one of the flowers and fiddled with it for a while before finally speaking, hesitating,</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Shao’an, I got something important to tell you… I want to see what you think I should do.”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Shao’an turned to look at her, wondering what trouble she’d run into.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">He knew this had to be the thing she mentioned when she sent word for him to come into town.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Her face was as red as if she’d caught a fever. After a moment, she said,</p><p class="ql-block">“…My stepmother’s family found me a match.”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“A… match?” For a moment, Shao’an didn’t get it.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“It’s… the son of a county leader,” Runye said, still looking down, cheeks flushed, playing with the flower.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Oh…” Now Shao’an understood. First thought that flashed in his head: She’s getting married.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Runye’s getting married? he asked himself in surprise.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Yeah, she’s getting married, he told himself.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">A strange feeling came over him. He put his sweaty hands on his patched knees, and without thinking, rubbed them a bit, almost like he was feeling sorry for himself.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">What’s wrong with you? he thought. Come on, get a grip.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">He quickly pulled himself together. He should be acting like a big brother, helping her figure things out. She’d asked him here because she trusted him.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">So he forced himself to speak calmly,</p><p class="ql-block">“Well… that’s a good thing. Their family’s well-off… What’s the guy do for work?”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“I don’t want to,” Runye suddenly looked up, eyes full of surprise and disappointment.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“You don’t want to?” Shao’an was stumped. If she didn’t want to, then just say no—what’s the big deal?</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“It’s your call,” he said at last.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“I’m asking you—what do you think I should do?” she pressed, looking straight at him.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Shao’an really didn’t get it. He pulled a scrap of paper from his pocket, pinched some tobacco, rolled a smoke, lit it, and took a few drags.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Well, if you don’t want to, then just forget it.”</p><p class="ql-block">“They keep bugging me, I…” Runye lowered her head, clearly upset.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Bugging you?” Shao’an frowned. If a woman says no, why won’t the guy quit? Were city folks really that shameless?</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“You’re like a dead man…” Runye muttered.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Shao’an felt guilty. She needed his help, and here he was, not knowing what to do. What—go beat the guy up? But he’s the son of a county leader. And anyway, what right did he have to beat him?</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Hmph! If, someday, Lanxiang grew up and some guy treated her like this, he’d beat him half to death!</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Seeing Runye still sitting there with her head down, he got flustered and said,</p><p class="ql-block">“Back when we were kids, if anyone dared to bully you, I’d throw a punch without thinking! Remember that time in high school in Shigejie, that boy kept chucking a basketball at you on purpose? I punched him till his nose and mouth were bleeding… And remember, if you spotted a lily on some cliff, or a bunch of red hawthorn berries, you’d ask me to get them—and I always did, didn’t I? But now… this… this is different…”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Hearing him say that, Runye suddenly covered her face with both hands and started to cry.</p> <p class="ql-block">【作者簡(jiǎn)介】</p><p class="ql-block"> 路遙（1949－1992），原名王衛(wèi)國，出生于陜西省榆林市清澗縣一個(gè)貧苦農(nóng)家。他自幼生活艱難，但始終堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)，最終成為中國當(dāng)代重要的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義作家。代表作《人生》和《平凡的世界》深刻描寫了普通人在社會(huì)變革中的奮斗與成長(zhǎng)，尤其《平凡的世界》榮獲茅盾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)，廣受讀者喜愛。</p><p class="ql-block"> 路遙的作品以樸實(shí)細(xì)膩的筆觸刻畫人物命運(yùn)，以深沉的人文關(guān)懷打動(dòng)人心。他曾說：“真正的文學(xué)只能是在生活的礦井里挖掘出來的。”盡管他英年早逝，但其作品至今仍激勵(lì)無數(shù)人勇敢追夢(mèng)、堅(jiān)韌前行。</p>
