The first time Yi Yue met Shen Jindu was on a late autumn evening.
With smoke curling up from the mountains, she was covered in the rising moonlight, dragging her heavy luggage through thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to a place where no one knew her.
The tug made a squeaking sound as it scraped across the thick stone slabs, and she was stuck in the wet mud, just in time to look up.
The ginkgo trees on the second floor meander into the corridor, at the end of the glass windows.
He was talking to the village chief. Under his black coat, the branches with sharp faces like graffiti were scraping across the stars, and the broken hair on his forehead illuminated the smoke on his fingertips.
The moment the man turned his head, his eyes met, and the moon was lost.
"What are you looking at?"
Yi Yue heard him say across the fragmented time and space, "It seemed like I saw a lost piece of wood."
——
Others always thought that he called Yi Yue Mumu because she was wearing an autumn wood-colored coat that day. Only Yi Yue knew that he had already seen through at a glance the indifference and boredom under her gentleness, and the numbness and paleness under her soul.
A dull soul cannot have an interesting life. Some people rush to the mountains and seas, some people lie down laughing and drunk, some people wander in the wilderness, and some people are trapped in the dead body, and the more they struggle, the more muddy they become.
Yi Yue originally thought that this escape was just a journey of self-exile, a fragment of a lonely life.
However, when she saw layers of white snow falling like icing sugar among the boundless mountains and rivers, when she lay in the field under the shade of trees during the rainy season, waiting for the peanuts to ripen, when she stood on the rooftop of the attic and saw the stars in the sky and the eyes of that person in the summer night sky, the four seasons overlapped...
She seemed to see herself.
The self in my heart slowly and quietly crawled out in the middle of the night when no one was paying attention, took a secret look at the world, and then never wanted to leave again...
