In the past, the old magician always boasted that he had caught an eagle in the sky, touched a turtle in the sea, traveled across mountains and seas, and had seen all the changes in life. Lu Shanmin sneered at the old magic stick's boast, but after what happened last night, Lu Shanmin found that the old magic stick was still right in what he said, the people outside the mountains are stronger than the tigers.
What happened last night made Lushan people instinctively alert. This is the nature of hunters. When hunting in Yaozi Mountain, even if they are familiar with the conditions in the mountains, if they spend the night in the mountains, they will definitely choose a high, flat place. , Drainage ditches should be dug around the camp, and vegetation ash should be spread. Leftover food should be dug in deep pits. If you are careless, you may be killed by wild beasts in your sleep.
In the eyes of Lushan people, this is also a mountain. The difference is that there are no poisonous snakes and beasts in this mountain, but it does contain the unpredictability of people's hearts. All night long, I was half asleep and half awake. In my sleep, I dreamed of my grandfather's kind smile, and dreamed of the high-rise buildings and the feasting and feasting that Bai Ling said.
Get up early in the morning, wash up, take a Tai Chi tour, and take out the four treasures of the study. It has been a habit developed for more than ten years. Except for special circumstances, Lu Shanmin will copy Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy every day. Today, Lu Shanmin has no Opening the copybook, I just wrote down the seven characters "People outside the mountains are stronger than tigers" on the paper one stroke at a time.
Said it is a city, in the eyes of Lushan people, Luliang County is not necessarily bigger than Mazui Village. They asked passers-by for the route to the train station, and they arrived at the train station after a ten-minute walk.
p>
Standing in the bustling crowd, Lu Shanmin was shocked and dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw so many people. Heads next to heads, heels next to heels. Being in the flow of people, Lu Shanmin was almost squeezed in. Got to the train station.
This kind of lively scene is so grand for the Lushan people who grew up in the mountains. However, the Lushan people do not feel the excitement at all. Instead, they feel lonely. People in Mazui Village, even if they have Strangers from outside will come up and say hello, but the people here just move their steps mechanically, and no one even cares about the people standing next to them.
Walking into the carriage, Lu Shanmin frowned. A stench assaulted his nostrils, mixed with the smell of feet, sweat, boiled eggs, and instant noodles. As for the many other smells, I can't describe them. It's not that Lu Shanmin's nose can't distinguish them. As a hunter, his nose is more sensitive than most people. I really have never smelled that smell. I don't know what it is. issued.
Lu Shanmin found his seat, and people were already sitting next to him and opposite him. Lu Shanmin glanced at the people and saw that they should be scholars. One of them was wearing glasses, and the other looked like a scholar. They are relatively gentle, they are all in their twenties, they don't look as rude as most people in the carriage, at least they look more educated than themselves.
Lu Shanmin pointed to the outermost seat by the window and motioned to the person sitting on the outermost side to give way. The person looked up at Lu Shanmin, who was wearing gray cloth clothes and rubber shoes, with a look on his face. No trace of disdain. In this era,This outfit could be put into a museum. The man stepped aside displeasedly and said, "It's really bad luck."
Lu Shanmin ignored it and sat in his seat, looking out the window quietly. Sitting opposite were two girls, and sitting next to him was a boy. It can be heard from their conversation that the three of them are all fresh graduates from a university in this city. They are going to Donghai to look for a better job.
As they spoke, the two girls were somewhat worried about this trip. They said that in a big city like Donghai, as graduates of a little-known ordinary university, they were afraid of not being able to find a good job.
The boys seemed much more optimistic, talking confidently, "Don't worry, look at these people on the train, several of them have gone to college, and they can all go to the East China Sea to make a living." , we are better than them." As he spoke, he squinted his eyes in Lu Shanmin's direction and pursed his lips.
Lu Shanmin pretended not to see it and was not angry at the other party's contempt. He is a college student and a real scholar. He has read more books than himself and has seen more of the world than him. He is naturally better than himself. There's just one thing I don't quite understand. Grandpa said that the biggest difference between scholars and non-literates is that scholars understand benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust. The college student next to me obviously lost the word "ritual".
The boy adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Zhang Li, we are the best graduates in the department. When we get to the East China Sea, dragons will enter the sea and tigers will descend from the mountains. Maybe within two or three years." You can buy a car and a house in Donghai."
The girl next to Zhang Li curled her lips, "Chen Kun, I only know that you are a famous bully in the department. House prices in Donghai cost tens of thousands. A square meter, many people will not be able to afford it in their lifetime, and you still have three years to buy a house, so you have to brag too hard."
Lu Shanmin next to him was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person who just spoke in disbelief. The girl subconsciously pinched the 5,000 yuan in her bag, thinking that if what she said was true, she might only have enough money to buy a place to put the needle.
When the girl saw Lu Shanmin glance at her, she raised her head arrogantly and continued, "I advise you to learn from those migrant workers. Be pragmatic and work in the East China Sea for a few years. Earn some money and go home to marry a villager." My sister is more reliable, so don’t have any illusions about our Lili newspaper.”
Chen Kun’s face turned dark. The other party actually compared himself to the migrant workers around him, and that was in front of the woman he liked. , "Huang Mei, we are all college students, how can those migrant workers be compared with us."
Zhang Li was full of anxiety about the trip to the East China Sea, and had not been in much mood to speak. She saw that Chen Kun was becoming more and more exaggerated. , glanced at Lu Shanmin, frowned, "Stop talking, you also know that he is a college student, and he is a migrant worker. Isn't it embarrassing?"
"I" Chen Kun's face turned red, and he also realized that he just What he said was a little too much. He glared at Huang Mei fiercely and said nothing in a muffled voice.
Lu Shanmin looked at the girl named Zhang Li, with an oval face, long hair, and skin.She has fair skin and is very good-looking. At first glance, she looks like a lady, and I thought she should be the most knowledgeable among these people. The girl smiled a little apologetically at Lu Shanmin.
The train stopped midway, and people getting off the train were crowded in the narrow carriage passage. A middle-aged man squeezed Huang Mei inadvertently. Huang Mei raised her head in displeasure and said, "Keep an eye on it as you walk." Chen Kun and Zhang Li were attracted by Huang Mei's voice and looked up at the man. The middle-aged man looked fierce and shouted at the top of his voice, "There are so many people, and you don't know how to give in." Zhang Li saw that the middle-aged man was tall, thick and rude, and said to Huang Mei, "Forget it."
Chen Kun mustered up the courage to say something, but saw the other party's fierce expression and quickly swallowed it back. As he was talking, a person behind the middle-aged man stretched out a hand holding a blade from the man's armpit. When the three of them were not paying attention, he quickly cut off Huang Mei's backpack and pulled the backpack into the crowd. The middle-aged man just happened to block in front of the thief. The middle-aged man snorted coldly and walked towards the car door. None of this could escape the eyes of Lu Shanmin's hunter, but Lu Shanmin had no intention of taking action. The girl named Huang Mei looked down on him just now, and this was considered his own fault. As a hunter who has killed countless lives, he has never been a bad person.
Huang Mei sat there angrily, subconsciously touched the bag on her waist, and shouted, "The bag is gone."
Chen Kun and Zhang Li were startled, "It must be what happened just now." People, chase him quickly."
Chen Kun didn't dare to hesitate and got up and ran outside.
Huang Mei shed tears in panic, "What can we do? All the money of the three of us is in the bag."
Zhang Li also looked panicked and nervous. He grabbed Huang Mei's hand. The family conditions of the three of them were not good. This time they went to Donghai's home and managed to scrape together fifteen thousand yuan. If it was lost here, how could they go to Donghai? How can I explain it to my family?
Lu Shanmin frowned. If it was just Huangmei's bag that was lost, maybe he really wouldn't take action. Grandpa's books said that he would give peaches and plums in return and return Qiongju in return. Zhang Li just gave As long as he smiles, there is no reason for her to cry. Lu Shanmin knew that the bag was not in the hands of the middle-aged man, and Chen Kun would definitely not be able to find the bag.
Lu Shanmin stretched out his hands, pushed aside the person in front of him, and rushed towards the car door with a vigorous stride. The sound of pulling and pulling between Chen Kun and the middle-aged man was heard from the car door. As he passed by, Lu Shanmin did not look at the two of them. , rushed off the train and rushed towards the exit of the station.
On the train, the two girls were extremely discouraged. Huang Mei was even crying. Chen Kun sighed with a lonely look on his face, and there were obvious signs of being slapped on his face. He just grabbed the middle-aged man, He didn't have a backpack on him, but instead he was yelled at and slapped in the face. The train whistle sounded, and the three people, immersed in pain, completely failed to notice that there was one less person on the seat next to them.
The train moved forward slowly, and the mood of the three people was extremely low.
""Bang", a red backpack fell on the small table in front of the seat. Looking at the lost backpack, Huang Mei held it in her arms and cried loudly, Zhang Li's frowning face showed a smile, Chen Kun let out a long sigh of relief.
“Give way. "
The three of them noticed Lu Shanmin standing nearby. Chen Kun quickly stood up and got out of the way.
Lu Shanmin sat down and glanced at Huang Mei, "I will put it away this time. "
Huang Mei hugged the backpack tightly and said "Thank you" with tears in her eyes.
Lu Shanmin smiled and glanced at Zhang Li, "No need to thank me. , you should thank her. "
Zhang Li looked at Lu Shanmin without understanding and said "Thank me"
Lu Shanmin said lightly, "You can smile at me, but I can't watch you cry. ”
In the past, the old magician always boasted that he had caught eagles in the sky, touched turtles in the sea, traveled across mountains and seas, and had a thorough look at the ever-changing life. Lu Shanmin sneered at the boasts of the old magician, but after yesterday Late in the evening, Lu Shanmin discovered that the old magic stick was right, the human heart outside the mountain is stronger than the tiger.
What happened last night made Lu Shanmin instinctively alert. This is the nature of the hunter, so he went to Yaozi Mountain to hunt. Even if you are familiar with the conditions in the mountains, if you want to spend the night in the mountains, you will definitely choose a high and flat place. Drainage ditches must be dug around the camp, and plant ash must be spread. Leftover food must be dug and buried deeply. This is a bit careless. It is possible to be killed in the mouth of a beast in your sleep.
In the eyes of Lushan people, this is also a mountain. The difference is that there are no poisonous snakes and beasts in this mountain, but there is a sense of unpredictability in people's hearts all night long. Half asleep and half awake, I dreamed of my grandfather's kind smile, and what Bai Ling said about high-rise buildings and bright lights.
I got up early in the morning, washed up, and took a Tai Chi tour. Taking out the Four Treasures of the Study, a habit developed over more than ten years, Lu Shanmin would copy Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy every day except for special circumstances. Today, Lu Shanmin did not open the copybook, but just wrote down the seven characters "People outside the mountains are better than tigers" on the paper one stroke at a time. < /p>
Standing in the bustling crowd, Lu Shanmin was shocked and dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw so many people. Heads next to heads, heels next to heels. Being in the flow of people, Lu Shanmin was almost squeezed. Entering the train station.
This lively scene is so grand for the Lushan people who grew up in the mountains, but the Lushan people did not feel the excitement at all. Instead, they felt lonely. People, even strangers from outside, would come up to say hello, but the people here just moved their steps mechanically, and no one even looked at the people standing beside them.

A stench assaulted his nostrils, mixed with the smell of feet, sweat, boiled eggs, and instant noodles.The smell, as for there are many other smells, I can't describe it. It's not that Lu Shanmin's nose can't distinguish it. As a hunter, his nose is more sensitive than most people. I really have never smelled that kind of smell. I don't know. What comes from it.
Lu Shanmin found his seat, and people were already sitting next to him and opposite him. Lu Shanmin glanced at the people and saw that they should be scholars. One of them was wearing glasses, and the other looked like a scholar. They are relatively gentle, they are all in their twenties, they don't look as rude as most people in the carriage, at least they look more educated than themselves.

Don’t have any illusions about our family. "
Chen Kun's face suddenly darkened. The other party actually compared himself with the migrant workers around him. In front of the woman he admired, he said, "Huang Mei, we are all college students. How can those migrant workers compare with We are on par. "
Zhang Li was full of anxiety about her trip to the East China Sea and had not been in much mood to speak. Seeing that Chen Kun was getting more and more excessive, she glanced at Lu Shanmin and frowned, "Stop talking, you know it too. He is a college student, and he is a migrant worker. It is not a shame. "
"I" Chen Kun's face turned red and he realized that what he just said was a little too much. He glared at Huang Mei fiercely and said nothing in a muffled voice.
Lu Shanmin looked at that person The girl named Zhang Li has an oval face, long hair, and fair skin. She is very good-looking. She looks like a lady at first glance. I thought that she should be the most knowledgeable among these people. He smiled apologetically at Lu Shanmin.
The train stopped midway, and people getting off the train were crowded in the narrow passage. A middle-aged man accidentally squeezed Huang Mei. Huang Mei looked up displeased. "Keep your eyes peeled as you walk. "Chen Kun and Zhang Li were attracted by Huang Mei's voice and looked up at the man. The middle-aged man looked fierce and shouted at the top of his voice, "There are so many people, and you don't know how to give in." "Zhang Li saw that the middle-aged man was tall, thick and rude, so she said to Huang Mei, "Forget it. ”
Chen Kun plucked up the courage to say something, but when he saw the other party’s fierce expression, he quickly swallowed his words. While he was speaking, a person behind the middle-aged man stretched out a knife holding a blade from the man’s armpit. With his hand, when the three of them were not paying attention, he quickly cut off Huang Mei's backpack and pulled it into the crowd. The middle-aged man happened to block the thief. The middle-aged man snorted coldly and walked towards the car door. Go. None of this can escape the eyes of Lu Shanmin's hunter, but Lu Shanmin has no intention of taking action. The girl named Huang Mei looked down on him just now. As a hunter who has killed countless lives, he has never been a bad person. /p>
Huang Mei sat there angrily, subconsciously touched the bag on her waist, and shouted, "The bag is gone." ”
Chen Kun and Zhang Li were startled, “It must be the person just now, chase him quickly.” "
Chen Kun didn't dare to hesitate and got up and ran outside to chase after him.
Huang Mei shed tears in panic, "What can we do? All the money of the three of us is there. In the bag. ”
Zhang Li also looked panicked and grabbed Huang Mei’s hand nervously. The family conditions of the three of them were not good. This time they went to Donghai’s home and finally managed to piece together everything. If fifteen thousand yuan was lost here, how would he go to Donghai and explain it to his family?
Lu Shanmin frowned. If it was just Huang Mei's bag that was lost, maybe he really didn't deserve it. Knowing how to take action, Grandpa's books said that he would give peaches and plums in return and give him Qiongju in return. Zhang Li just gave herself a smile, so there was no reason for Lu Shanmin to cry.Knowing that the bag was not in the hands of the middle-aged man, Chen Kun would definitely not be able to find the backpack.

"Pa", a red backpack fell on the small table in front of the seat. Looking at the lost backpack, Huang Mei held it in her arms and cried loudly, Zhang Li frowned. A smile appeared on Zhan's face, and Chen Kun breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Give way.”
The three of them discovered Lu Shanmin standing next to them. Chen Kun quickly stood up and got out of the way.
Lu Shanmin sat down and glanced at Huang Mei, "I will put it away this time."
