Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Just as Dong Qiangqiang saw when he boarded the plane, there were only a few passengers on the plane except for the flight attendant. In fact, there was no need to choose any seats. The rows were empty. Dong Qiangqiang was the only student face, and the others seemed to be business people. , which gave him the illusion of a chartered flight.

Only three people on the plane wore masks, and none of the flight attendants wore them.Dong Qiangqiang forgot to buy a mask before getting on the plane. Only then did he remember that he should prepare one for landing. However, he was too shy to ask the flight attendant if they had free masks, so he planned to buy one at the airport after landing.

Because he had just eaten before boarding the plane, Dong Qiangqiang was not very hungry. He was only tired from the sudden relaxation after running around and working hard. The last time he felt this kind of tiredness was when he was hunting wild boars on the outskirts of Hannover. By counting, it was not long before he left Hannover. It has been more than half a year, and time flies by like a fleeting moment.

He asked the flight attendant for hot milk and a blanket. While drinking, he listed down the things he had to do after landing in a notebook. After writing it down and checking it again to make sure nothing was missing, he picked one of the empty seats in the last few rows. In one row, he raised the middle armrest, barely lay his body down, and tried to sleep with his arms around the blanket.

The violent turbulence caused by the airflow made him unable to sleep for a while. He was jolted and opened his eyes again. The sunshades on both sides of the fuselage had all been closed. There was no lighting in the cabin except for the green emergency lights. He sighed and used My feet hooked the blanket that had fallen to the floor back onto my legs, and I put my hands under my head. I stared at the small lamp on the ceiling nearby in silence for a while, until the airflow gradually stabilized and the fuselage stopped bumping. He slowly closed his eyes.

His eyes were filled with chaotic gray first, and then he saw a boy carrying large and small packages standing on a busy crossroads looking around blankly. The taillights of the traffic were connected into silky red lines. The red lines were so dazzling that he couldn't help it. Looking straight at it, when he could see clearly, he realized that the boy had climbed up a high branch and looked down the tree with a sad expression. The green grass under the tree was swaying in the wind, and there were gleaming lights in the grass. The bared mouth and fangs of the cold light.A gust of wind blew past, and green leaves were flying all over the sky. When everything settled down, the scene in front of me turned into a boy waving excitedly to a middle-aged man at the airport gate.The middle-aged man turned around slowly, but it was Lao Bai. The boy was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shouting. The sound echoed in the empty snow all around, but he had a strong sense of déjà vu at the scene in front of him. , it seems that this is the island where Lao Bai was exiled. His eyes followed the boy along the footprints in the rugged snow. The boy lowered his head to observe the direction of the footprints from time to time. When the boy walked around a branch and leaf that blocked his sight, His line of sight was also blocked by the branches and leaves. He walked around the branches and leaves to take a closer look, but was shocked to find that the boy and his footprints were gone. Instead, there were bursts of thunder above his head and a muddy ravine beneath his feet.Just when he was wondering, he heard the sound of a shovel hitting the soil from below. He followed the sound, but unexpectedly saw a group of people adding soil to the pit on the hillside at his feet, while the boy was leaning down in despair. He fell into the rain puddle with his head down and seemed to have fainted.He wanted to shout loudly to stop the other party, but no sound came out of his mouth. Before he could find a way to make a sound, a thunderbolt exploded above his head. The huge sound frightened him so much that he instinctively ducked. He waited until he calmed down and then looked at it intently. The boy had staggered out of the puddle and was lying under a nearby plant, gasping for air.He strode towards the boy without thinking. Just when he was one step away from the boy, he suddenly felt his feet slip and he flew out.When he finally got up, he realized that the boys, puddles and surrounding plants that were in front of him just now had quietly turned into a deep blue ocean, a brown beach and a red sun.The golden light made it difficult for him to open his eyes, but he could not feel the warmth on his face. The gravel under his feet was cold and rough. It seemed that he had returned to the island where Lao Bai was, which made him feel dazed for a while.Just then, he vaguely heard someone shouting something in the distance, which sounded like a personal name. He subconsciously looked around, trying to find the person shouting. At this moment, there was a strong vibration under his feet, shaking He couldn't stand firmly.

As the earthquake felt stronger and stronger, he felt that he should run towards the higher hillside behind him, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a plant as tall as a person next to him smashing towards him.

He instinctively dodged to the side, but he seemed to have hit something hard, causing pain in his arm. Just when he was wondering, "Isn't there air next to me?", he found himself lying on the floor between the two rows of seats. Realized it was just a dream.

As soon as he took his left hand out of the blanket wrapped around his body, he heard a female voice coming from above his head: "Sir, are you okay?"

"I...it's okay, thank you." Dong Qiangqiang didn't see who was speaking, so he guessed it was the stewardess. He might have hit a muscle when he rolled off the seat, causing pain and numbness in his entire right arm.

"If you continue to sleep, it is still not safe to lie down like this (sideways). You can go to the front business class cabin. There is no one there now." The flight attendant had long noticed that Dong Qiangqiang, who had long legs and long arms, was curled up in the seat. It looked like a lobster, but she never paid attention to it. In fact, it was not that there was no one in the business class now, but that there was no one at all. She didn't want to make suggestions at first, but when she heard Dong Qiangqiang falling from his seat, she was worried that Dong Qiangqiang would really fall out. Anyway, this is the suggestion.

"Oh... what time is it now?" While adjusting the angle of his arms, Dong Qiangqiang noticed that there seemed to be more light in the cabin than before falling asleep. Then he noticed that multiple visors had been opened on both sides of the fuselage, and he immediately reacted Come here, "Are we almost there?"

"It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and we will land in almost two hours. Can you get up now?" The flight attendant secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Dong Qiangqiang didn't mention his arm.

"Thank you, no need." Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was no longer resting, the stewardess continued to ask: "You were resting when the meal was served. Do you want to eat now? The second meal (on board) is spaghetti bolognese and potato beef rice. kind."

Dong Qiangqiang quickly weighed which one made him fuller: "Then let's have some pasta, thank you."

After hearing this, the stewardess went to the back cabin to get the meal. Dong Qiangqiang moved his arms, slowly stood up on the seat, and then put down the armrests in the entire row one by one, and then returned to his original seat.

He gently raised the visor at his hand, and the bright light shot into the cabin like sharp arrows. He squinted his eyes due to the dazzling light. It took him a long time to gradually adapt to the intensity of the light.

When he looked out the window, what he saw was an endless blanket of clouds stretching to the end of the sky. Through the occasional gaps in the blanket of clouds, he could see vast mountains and rivers, and spring in the world.

After two years away from home and returning to his hometown for the first time, he suddenly realized that he was actually homesick. Every plant and tree in his hometown made him feel more at home and at ease, even though the sky looked gray, like an overturned pot. , but this did not prevent him from flourishing in poetry:

"Time borrowed away Qingsi and Qiangchan,

I also drank some wind and frost and two glasses of residual wine.

But I am traveling in a small boat against the odds,

Go and find the source of the peach blossoms. "

At 17:[-] sharp, the plane landed smoothly at the Capital International Airport on time. Dong Qiangqiang followed the flow of people out of the boarding bridge and strode towards the luggage carousel. (End of chapter)
