Chapter 1, The Beauty of the Back Mountain
Upon returning home, I truly had no appetite for tea or food, as I was worried about my parents' reprimands, and I did not mention that I had secretly gone to the back mountain
Do not do this, I am afraid that you...
I only felt discomfort all over my body, with a burning sensation below my abdomen. In my youth, I did not understand what this meant; I only thought that the woman's silhouette was truly beautiful
As I grew up, it was as if I were possessed; I had a few girlfriends, but every time I brought a girlfriend to bed, I inexplicably thought of that beautiful older sister, causing me to lose interest in the girlfriend in front of me. This led to several years of tumultuous relationships, and my girlfriends could only end up being a fleeting experience.
Our village is very poor, and everyone cultivates the land at the foot of a mountain. Since childhood, my parents have told me never to go to the back mountain. Even when they go out to work, they will lock the door to prevent me from going out.
I remained silent, and my father kept scolding me, saying that he never allowed me to go to the back mountain since I was young. I used to be quite obedient, so why is it that now that I have grown up, I have become so bold
The next day, I secretly went to the back mountain again, but I did not see that beautiful older sister again
I saw a woman in a white dress sitting by the river, dipping her legs into the water. The rural air is fresh, and the moonlight is bright; even without lights, I can clearly see the silhouette of that woman. Yet, this silhouette looks so familiar. I trembled as I took out a cigarette and lit it, the sound of the lighter echoing loudly in the night.
Hearing what I said, my parents both widened their eyes, and their eyes grew larger and rounder. My mother's face turned very grim, and she somewhat screamed, saying: "When did a river appear in the back mountain? You must be mistaken..."
Some people even think that I am incapable, and some rumors have spread in the village, which are quite unpleasant and have made me feel very uncomfortable. I know I can do it; it's just that my mind is filled with beautiful sisters, and I really can't muster any interest in other women
I only just learned why my parents did not allow me to come to the back mountain; it turns out it is because there are women who bathe in the river at the back mountain
I have thought about her for so many years, and today I finally met her; I am almost going crazy. If I miss this opportunity, who knows how many years I will have to wait. Today, I have also had some drinks, and my mind is filled with thoughts of possessing her
I heard her sobbing, which finally made me stop my actions. I raised my head; although there was only moonlight at that moment, for some reason, I could see her particularly clearly. Her eyes were moist, her red lips were trembling, and she looked at me with great fear.
From the front, I finally realized that the troublesome hair was a cascade of three thousand strands of black silk. She had slender willow-like eyebrows, a pair of enchanting and captivating eyes, and her red lips were alluringly luscious. Her figure was of a smaller type, and her beauty, as pure as snow, nearly made me faint.
This sentence was spoken with a sobbing tone, and I only then realized what beastly act I had committed. Yet, gazing at her red lips, I could not help myself, for I knew that if I did not kiss those alluring, dew-kissed red lips today, I would regret it for the rest of my life
The beautiful sister wanted to push me away, softly shouting for me to go away, her voice sweet and intoxicating. At that moment, I was beyond caring about anything else, and I grabbed her long dress, tearing it apart without hesitation.
I stand on the cold street, unsure of where to go. Returning home will surely earn me a scolding from my parents, yet not going home leaves me with nowhere else to turn. At this moment, the image of the beautiful sister comes to mind, and I think of going to the back mountain again, just to feel the cool breeze. I do not even hope to encounter her, after all these years, she must have aged significantly.
She is a beautiful sister
That woman was so beautiful, unlike anyone I had ever seen in the mountain village. Her skin was as white and tender as snow, and her arms, resembling lotus roots, were still adorned with droplets of water. As the sunlight shone down, they sparkled beautifully. I was still young and didn't understand much, and instead of looking at the more important parts, I foolishly gazed at her face.
My father recalled this matter and scolded me again, saying that I did not appreciate a good girl. That girl is diligent in her work and obedient, and many people want to marry her, saying that I am living in comfort without realizing my blessings
Under the moonlight, her silky black hair was gently stirred by the breeze, and she frowned, her beautiful eyes glimmering with charm
At that time, I was truly heartbroken, drinking myself into a stupor alone in a small restaurant in the village, and it was only when the restaurant closed that I finally came out
Seeing that my parents now have almost irrefutable evidence, I simply decided not to hide anything and recounted the entire story from beginning to end. Of course, I did not mention the inhumane things I did to the beautiful sister; I only said that I must marry her because she occupies my heart.
She moved gently, slowly bending down to scoop river water with a ladle, then gradually pouring it over herself. That action made me feel as if I were witnessing a breathtaking painting, to the point where I could hardly breathe
I did not heed my father's words, for my mother's statement left me momentarily stunned.
And I finally heard her speak a complete sentence, her delicate voice driving people mad
She looked at me with confusion, her eyes slowly blinking as if to scrape away my patience. At that moment, I truly could not hold back any longer; I grabbed her arm and pulled her down to myself, directly pouncing on her
When I woke up, I found myself lying at home, with my parents by my side. As soon as they saw that I was awake, my father immediately scolded me, asking why I had gone to the back mountain for no reason. If it hadn't been for his friend seeing me and bringing me back, I would have surely been eaten by wolves. I felt a wave of fear, as our area is remote and there are indeed wolves here.
"There are no beautiful women at all!" My father shouted directly at me, "There are only evil spirits that want to take your life. You are possessed; never go to the back mountain again!"
She immediately turned her head back, and with that glance, I was nearly breathless
The voice of the beautiful sister is very soft, likely out of fear of attracting attention and embarrassing herself. I took advantage of this and tried to kiss her red lips. However, she consistently turned her face away to prevent me from kissing her, resulting in me only being able to kiss her cheeks each time
The woman is facing away from me, the river water is not deep, reaching up to her thighs, her hair is wet, just enough to cover her hips, making me feel that her hair is quite bothersome
It was a soft and fragrant sensation, but before I could fully enjoy it, I felt a heaviness in my head, my vision suddenly went dark, and I fainted.
In the countryside, people tend to marry early, yet I did not settle down until I was twenty-two. My parents were quite anxious about this, especially since other men my age in the village already had children running around. They arranged a blind date for me with a woman from a family that was relatively well-off. I tried to date her for a while, but ultimately it did not work out, and I had no choice but to propose a breakup
Upon arriving at the back mountain and passing through that grove of trees, I was once again left speechless
After that, she turned her body around, and I hurriedly hid myself more discreetly, my heart racing to the point that I almost fainted
I truly did not expect that after so many years, I would still be able to see her, and she remains as exquisitely beautiful as she was back then. I staggered over to her side, slumped down beside her, a cigarette still clenched in my mouth, utterly mesmerized.
Beyond the woods lies a river, and in that river, there was unexpectedly a woman bathing. At that time, I was still young, and her fair, glistening body was dazzling to behold. I quickly hid behind a tree to steal a glance.
Later, out of curiosity, when I was in middle school, I secretly climbed over the wall of the courtyard and ran to the back mountain. After walking for about five or six minutes and passing through a grove, I came across something that made my face flush and my heart race
Finally, it was my mother who stopped my father first. She anxiously asked me, "The matchmaker came to tell us that you have broken up with the young lady. What is going on? We went to ask that young lady, and she said you have someone else in your heart. She mentioned that you keep talking in your sleep, calling out something about a beautiful sister. Are you hiding something from us?"
When the woman finished washing, she put on a white long dress by the shore, looking very beautiful, like a beauty from the television. After she dressed and left, she truly disappeared from my sight, and only then did I leave in a daze
At the beginning, I thought I had missed her, or perhaps she had not come to take a shower. However, each time I went over afterwards, I no longer saw her. As time passed, I gradually forgot about her.
I held her face and kissed her quickly and roughly
It turns out that... I even think of her in my dreams, but my girlfriend has never mentioned it to me.
