Moonlight at Yakou.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Summer said: "If you want to cry, just cry out loud. No one here will hear you."

Because this is the place where two mountain peaks meet, it is called Yako, and the wind at Yako is particularly strong," Xia said, "At its strongest, it can blow you off the ground."

Yes. Su Mi didn't expect him to observe her so seriously.

That was the world that Sumi had already shattered.

Su Mi pats her belly and tilts her head back, expressing hunger and longing.

Even if in a sorry state, this is the only way.

"Who is that person?" Sumi asked.

"No particular reason," Aunt Lin said, "the road there is difficult to navigate, and outsiders will easily get lost."

Su Mi was moved by Aunt Lin and sadly thought, "If only my mother could think like this, how wonderful it would be."

I always go in the evening, at ten o'clock. I'll wait for you here. If you're not afraid, then come. Xia finished speaking and packed up his things before standing up and leaving.

Because I come from Yakou.

Su Mi looked at Xia.

Jiang Wen.

A bicycle blocked her way at the entrance.

Are you sitting? It's Jiang Wen.

Uh, by the way, do you know why this place is called Yako Village?

Thank you, I will always remember Yakou, remember the wind there, and the moonlight.

"Okay," Sumi said softly.

Jiang Wen always says: "Sumi, Sumi, there is no girl more beautiful than you."

Mother scolded Sumi, saying: "You have no sense of propriety and have been spoiled."

It's about more than 500 kilometers away from the city where Sumi lives. This is Sumi's first long-distance trip alone. She took three different buses in total, and the last one was a very old minibus. The car and the road were both bad. It was bumpy all the way, and if one wasn't careful, they would be thrown high from the seat and fall heavily. When Sumi felt like she was about to pass out, the car finally stopped. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Aunt Lin waiting eagerly at the village entrance. When she got off the bus, Aunt Lin took her luggage and hugged her gently, saying, "My Sumi, you've grown up so much."

She is tending to a small vegetable garden, but she takes care of it meticulously every day.

(3).

Summer continued, "When I first came here, I used to come here every night to cry."

Hi! Su Mi squatted down next to him and said, "What are you drawing?"

She didn't take much with her, just a few changes of clothes, her beloved diskman, and a diary. There was also a letter for Jiang Wen. As she walked past the mailbox, Sumi dropped it. The letter had only one short line: "Jiang Wen, goodbye. Forgive me for not being able to face it, only to escape."

Let's go out and play again," Jiang Wen said, "We just need to be more careful about keeping it a secret in the future."

Call me Xia," he said.

That person is not speaking.

Have fun here for a few days, and your anger will dissipate. Aunt Lin handed Su Mi a glass of water and said, "Where did you get so angry with your mother?"

Su Mi shook her head.

Jiang Wen is about to take the college entrance examination soon, and he worries every day about filling out his college application. He asked Su Mi, "Where do you think would be a good place to study?"

However, Sumi hasn't been able to go out for ten days, and she can't go out either. Sumi thought that during these obedient days, her mother should calm down. She didn't want her mother to be angry with her, let alone give up on her.

Mother will use chopsticks to tap the table and say: "Talking about these boring things, the college entrance examination is coming next year. A young girl's mind must not wander, once it does, it will be ruined."

The night in the mountain village is very peaceful.

Su Mi was speechless.

The next day, Sumi went to the largest audio-visual store in the city, hoping to find that very old CD of Qi Qin and a letter to send to Xia. The clerk warmly said to her, "The song you're looking for is not available, but we have Jay Chou, Jam Hsiao, and Cecilia Cheung, or maybe Twins. The hottest ones now are the Twins, who still listens to Qi Qin."

Anyway, music is indispensable in Sumi's life.

Is it that serious? Jiang Wen said, "I haven't even held your hand yet."

Su Mi said: "Maybe, I'll just stay here and not go back."

Apart from escaping, Sumi felt that she had no other choice.

It's still so hot in the city. Sumi put the luggage into her father's hands and gently hugged her mother.

Still in the early morning, the sultriness of the urban summer disappears here, and the fresh air and breeze irresistibly propel Sumi forward. The phone persistently rings, and Sumi finally presses the answer key. It's Jiang Wen's voice: "Sumi, is that you? How could you make such a fuss over a trivial matter?"

Is it really that pleasant to listen to? Jiang Wen snatched the earphones and stuffed them into his ears, frowning and saying, "I don't understand."

Su Mi also brought a map, and the red mark on the map is the place she wants to go: Yakou Village.

He still had his back turned, concentrating on painting there.

I don't know how long I've been walking. Xia gestured for her to sit down and said to her, "Here, you can see the most beautiful starry sky, see the most beautiful moon, and feel the most beautiful breeze. Give it a try."

Sumi rushed out of her home, with so many things she wanted to say to Jiang Wen. However, Jiang Wen was holding hands with another girl.

(1).

Also, don't always wear headphones while walking, it can be very unsafe.

Summer vacation has arrived, and Jiang Wen's college entrance examination has also ended. He has really got his wish fulfilled and was admitted to the Chinese department of Fudan University. This summer is unbelievably hot. Su Mi doesn't want to go anywhere and just stays at home. Jiang Wen said, "Come out, I'm dying to go out." Su Mi replied, "Seriously, I'll come out, but you have to take me to the bookstore to buy a copy of Guo Jingming's 'Left-Handed Reflection, Right-Handed Youth'."

From a very long and painful memory, the wind began to grow stronger, blowing Su Mi unsteadily. The mountain seemed to be right in front of her, but she couldn't reach it no matter what. Worst of all, she found that she had lost her way back.

Why are you again? he asked.

Where did you go?

When Sumi was so full that she couldn't stand up, the phone rang at Aunt Lin's house. Sumi heard Aunt Lin talking loudly to her mother, "She's doing well, don't worry. I'll personally send her to the train in a few days and make sure she doesn't lose a single hair."

Lin Yi said, "Don't go alone, if you want to go play, ask your uncle to take you."

(4).

Mom just asked about Aunt Lin's recent situation, without saying anything offensive.

Su Mi jumped lightly and laughed behind the car with relief.

Sumi turned around and left to another audio and video store.

Mother must be over there scolding herself, Aunt Lin is listening patiently, and then responding with an agreeable "mm-hmm." When she finally hung up the phone and sat back down, Sumi said irritably, "It's best that you tell her I'm not coming back, so she won't worry!"

Su Mi looked at his painting, which was a lake, a deep blue lake with the reflection of white clouds. Su Mi said, "Have you been painting this lake these days?"

He still doesn't speak.

Jiang Wen graciously accepted the invitation.

Su Mi was greatly startled.

Let's go. Aunt Lin smiled and nodded at the person, pulled Susie and quickened her pace.

Jiang Wen's bicycle swayed back and forth, while Sumi opened her umbrella and held it high above her head. Jiang Wen said, "Why look at Guo Jingming? Reading what he writes is not as good as reading what I write. One day, I will be more famous than him, with more and thicker works!"

Sumi didn't know how to explain, and tears of grievance kept falling.

Jiang Wen said very smoothly: Madam, I obey.

Why?

Su Mi smiled and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Dad has given you enough money, so don't try to take my kickbacks."

Su Mi remembered that evening. When she ran out of the house in despair, looking for someone to rely on, she saw Jiang Wen and Ye Zi by the fountain in the city square. Their hands were gently held together, and Ye Zi was smiling so sweetly. She turned her head and saw Su Mi panting, smiling and saying, "Oh, look, Jiang Wen, your little sister is here."

Mom's mouth opens and closes as she continuously studies and tortures Sumi's phone bill in her hands.

It would be better if you also like it. Jiang Wen said, "If you pass the exam and come here in a year, we can be together."

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "This place has always been called Yakou Village, just like how you have always been called Sumi."

"What are you talking about!" Su Mi's face blushed slightly, then quickly turned her head to the side.

Summer said softly, "Little girl, you should also be happy."

Have you heard of Qi Qin's "Yakou"?

Okay then. Jiang Wen sent a text message saying, "Don't be too hard on yourself. If you miss me, come find me."

Okay, okay, okay, Sumi is good, Sumi's mom is also good. Jiang Wen said, "Good Sumi, let me hold your hand, I carry you to school every day, my back is about to break."

"How would I know," she said, pulling her by the arm. "Come on, let's go back. Aunt Lin has cooked something delicious for you again at noon. Eat well and go back home plump and satisfied, then Aunt Lin will feel relieved."

After passing through that lake, Sumi saw him again.

For the first time, Sumi saw him, a very handsome young man, even more handsome than Jiang Wen, but his eyes were too melancholic.

To know, is such a natural thing.

The one who just guided me.

Unexpectedly, when receiving the award, Jiang Wen was standing beside her.

Oh. Aunt Lin said, "He is the art teacher at our local primary school, a city dweller who came here three years ago. Apart from speaking during class, he rarely talks and is quite eccentric."

And, remember you. You should also be happy.

Why don't you speak?

(2).

He finally spoke: "I couldn't find anyone to talk to."

Little sister.

Come back, Sumi, I was wrong. Can't I be wrong?

Summer's voice is a bit hoarse, but it has a unique deep affection.

"Over there..." Su said strangely, "the weather seems to be different from here."

It's my mother, still so unreasonable!

If my mother knew, the sky would really collapse.

A hurdle that was once thought to never be overcome, has now passed by so easily.

When angry, Jiang Wen will stop the car and say, "Turn it off, I will go crazy."

Who is that person?

Your mother is an old feudal. Jiang Wen laughed and said, "Old antique!"

The incoming messages are from Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen handed in the paper before Sumi, and after the competition, Sumi couldn't find the owner of the pen, so she had to put the pen away.

You, huh," Aunt Lin said, "did you have a quarrel with your mother, or are you still so stubborn?"

"That's two different things," Sumi said.

Dad took Su Mi aside and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Your mom's anger will pass."

Sumi reached out her hand. She felt somewhat incredulous that she was actually following a stranger to an unfamiliar place at such a late hour, and even letting him hold her hand!

I don't like to talk.

Sumi just realized that the person who had just led her the way was intentionally doing so for her. She wanted to say thank you, but the person had already disappeared.

He finally made up his mind to apply for the Chinese Department of Fudan University. With his excellent grades, there should be no problem.

Thank you for yesterday.

Su Mi said, "Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen, it's hard to find a boy who can speak better than you."

Su Mi returned home.

The organizer was very generous, and both of them received a considerable amount of prize money in the eyes of the students. Sumi returned the pen to Jiang Wen and said, "Thank you. I will treat you to Tiramisu at Pizza Hut as a token of appreciation."

I'm serious," Jiang Wen said earnestly, "Let's go to Shanghai, I like the bustling atmosphere there."

He won the first prize, while Sumi won the second prize.

That's not popular to get sick either. Aunt Lin responded quickly, "Being healthy is useful. No matter what you look like, Aunt Lin thinks you are the most beautiful and lovely!"

The day before the college entrance examination, Sumi sent a text message to Jiang Wen, saying: "Study well, get familiar with Fudan University, and then you can take care of me."

I love going to the Two Seams Assembly.

After a while, they returned to the village. Aunt Lin rushed over and hugged her, saying, "Sumi, I knew you were running around. You scared me!"

Su Mi suddenly had the urge to burst into tears.

The night road is difficult to walk, and Su Mi almost fell several times. Xia turned around, reached out and said, "Hold my hand."

Because the wind there is the strongest.

Can you take me there? Su Mi said, "Then my Aunt Lin won't worry."

"Okay," Jiang Wen sighed, "Can I promise you not to have any further contact with her in the future?"

Because of my injury," Xia didn't want to continue speaking.

Replace the mosquito coil for Sumi, Aunt Lin told her to rest early and went out with the door.

(6).

For me, that is not a trivial matter," Sumi said.

Summer said: "You seem to really enjoy listening to music? Always walking around with headphones."

Su Mi followed him silently.

So, do you prefer obedient children or naughty children? Su Mi asked, blushing.

Who?

Before, someone told me that they saw you riding in a boy's car to go to school, but I didn't believe it. "Mom yelled at Sumi and said," Why did you sit in the back of someone else's car? Do you have no shame? "

My dad made the decision to buy the phone, and my mom picked it out for me. In the mall, my mom said with concern, "It's really unreasonable for a little girl to use such an expensive phone."

The sky seems to be changing, with nothing but the sound of wind in my ears, blowing up Su Mi's long skirt. She began to feel extreme fear and regretted not listening to Aunt Lin. Just then, Su Mi saw him on the other side of the road, carrying a large portfolio. He glanced back at Su Mi and then walked on.

But Sumi's world has long collapsed, it doesn't matter anymore.

I sit alone and listen to the howling wind.

Dead.

Whenever the moon sets on the earth.

Sorry, I cannot assist with the translation of incomplete or unclear content. Please provide the specific text you would like to be translated from Simplified Chinese to English.

This point Su Mi agrees, and she often feels like a spoiled child. Sometimes Jiang Wen also says this, he always makes demands: "Su Mi, let me hold your hand."

The bed is too hard. Sumi lay flat on the bed, and tears slowly began to flow.

Jiang Wen quickly returned: "Yes, I'm here."

That night, she sent a text message to Jiang Wen saying, "Something terrible happened. My mom said the sky is falling."

Why?

At this time, it was already dusk. The mountain breeze blew gently, and Sumi walked forward holding Lin Aunt's sleeve, just like when she was a child. Her curious eyes looked around. After passing a small lake, which was of a strange dark blue color, perhaps due to the lighting, they saw a young man sitting by the lake, holding a paintbrush and a notebook, apparently sketching.

Aunt Lin lovingly pinched her little braid and said, "Haven't you always wanted Aunt Lin's braised chicken? I'll cook it for you today, using the homegrown chicken. It's definitely delicious. I've also roasted some corn cobs, waiting for you to come and eat."

How could this happen?

He always says, "You are a spoiled good child."

Su Mi always hides.

I can explain, can you please not worry me?

Aunt Lin, please spare me. Being thin is in fashion now!

The mountain pass where two peaks meet is the homeland of the wind.

When the college entrance examination was approaching, they started to reduce their meetings. The only way to contact each other was through text messages. Sometimes it was one message a day, sometimes ten messages a day. Sometimes it was a picture, full of stars, or a floating heart.

Su Mi held her phone, letting those messages come in one by one, and no longer paying attention. Involuntarily, she walked out of Aunt Lin's house and soon arrived at the small lake. It was still the same person, as if he had been sitting there since yesterday, drawing that painting.

My name is Sumi. Sumi said.

"Okay, okay," Sumi said.

Jiang Wen pinched her little braid, and Sumi escaped far away and sat down, slightly intoxicated by Jiang Wen's words. They met in a composition competition. On the day of the competition, Sumi discovered that she had lost her pen. It was the unfamiliar Jiang Wen who helped her in time, handing her a very beautiful steel pen and saying, "Use it, I wish you success!"

Mom pulled Sumi down from the back of Jiang Wen's car like a prisoner and kept pulling her all the way back home.

Jiang Wen laughed heartily again.

She had a moment of surprise and continued on.

Sumi did not think about turning back while packing her luggage.

Aunt Lin used to be the nanny of the Sumi family. Before Sumi turned ten, she lived with the Sumi family and cooked and did laundry for them. Sumi and Aunt Lin had a very good relationship. After Aunt Lin left, Sumi cried for more than a month. She would cry every night, and her tears seemed endless. Now, seven years have passed, and this is the first time Sumi has seen Aunt Lin. Her eyes instantly turned red.

Sumi held her phone and lay on the bed. Love, love. This is what Mom worries about the most and is most ashamed of. She will not allow any of this to happen. In contrast, Dad is more open-minded. At the dinner table, he occasionally says, "We must find a good boy for Sumi in the future and take good care of her for a lifetime."

Summer begins to sing: "I love going to the meeting of the two seams, because the wind there is the strongest. I don't like to talk, because I come from the Yako, the Yako where the two seams meet, is the hometown of the wind. Every time the moon sets on the earth, I sit alone and listen to the howling wind..."

Aunt Lin's house is nice, a spacious two-story building. She has two sons, both working outside. Aunt Lin's husband also appears gentle and honest like her. He smiled at Sumi and didn't say much. During the meal, he kept urging Aunt Lin to serve food for Sumi.

He doesn't seem to belong here.

Aunt Lin went to work in the field.

That is, that is. Su Mi looked at Jiang Wen's neck, which was tanned by the sun, and said, "Your face is almost as thick as someone else's." At this point, Su Mi suddenly saw her mother, which was very strange. Her mother's workplace was far away, and she should be at work at this time, but she was standing across the street, looking at Su Mi with a strange, even hostile look.

However, Sumi never expected that one day her mother would throw her phone bill in front of her and say, "Take a look at it yourself. See how many text messages you send every day and what kind of messages they are! If you keep ignoring yourself like this, you will fly to the sky without even having basic self-respect as a girl!"

It was not yet ten o'clock, and every household had turned off their lights and gone to bed early. Su Mi looked out of the window and saw a half-moon, pale yellow, hanging lonely in the dark sky. Aunt Lin knocked on the door and came in, holding a slightly old fan in her hand. She kindly said to Su Mi, "It's not like the city here, and there's no air conditioning. If you feel hot, you can use this fan."

At ten o'clock at night, Sumi couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She remembered the words she had exchanged with Xia and quietly left Aunt Lin's house. When she reached the intersection, she saw Xia, who was leaning against a tree smoking a cigarette, holding a bright flashlight. Upon seeing Sumi, he confidently said, "I knew you would come."

Why did you come here?

Jiang Wen naturally doesn't understand. Sumi listens to Japanese songs, she likes Matsudaira Takako and Utada Hikaru. But sometimes Sumi also listens to Faye Wong, listens to Jiang Meiqi, or listens to Eason Chan.

Summer smiled and said, "Is that so? Hehe, maybe it is. You know, it's been many years since someone has said these things to me."

Actually...” Sumi said with some difficulty, “Maybe she doesn't want to see you like this. You don't have to spend your whole life redeeming yourself. Shouldn't you be happy?”

Su Mi did not express her opinion. After a long pause, she finally said, "Mom promised to accompany me to buy a mobile phone this weekend, so I can send you text messages in the future."

Su Mi's first text message was, of course, sent to Jiang Wen. She asked, "Am I in love?"

In order to atone for my sins," Xia said, "I hurt the girl I loved the most. She was just like you, enjoying walking and listening to music at the same time. The first time I saw you, I was so startled."

Why did you come here?

That was Sumi's pitiful secret.

Aunt Lin pulled her and said, "Let's go. Let's go home." As they walked, she complained, "I called you when the summer vacation just started. Now the summer vacation is almost over, and you suddenly called to say you're on the way. How many days can you stay?"

In Sumi's view, Aunt Lin is the gentlest woman in the world. She is already in middle age, slightly plump, but her eyes are still so clear and transparent. She put her hand on Sumi's shoulder and said, "Sumi, Aunt Lin knows you are a good girl. Don't be angry with your mother, okay?"

Qiqin's "Yakou"

She instructed Sumi not to wander around, although the village is not big, it is easy to get lost, especially on the mountain side, where it is forbidden to go without a guide.

Su Mi laughed foolishly.

It can really be overcome, everything. I also hope that you can move on. Forgiving oneself is actually more important than forgiving others.

Sumi's phone is the latest model from Nokia, and it looks very beautiful.

Sumi still hopes to be a good child in her mother's eyes.

That is the personal stability and privacy that seventeen-year-old Sumi cannot maintain.

Do not speak ill of my mother," Sumi said, "My mother has worked hard for our family."

It's not hot. Su Mi grabbed Aunt Lin's hand and said, "Aunt Lin, why is this place called Yako Village?"

Su Mi smiled and said, "If it's turned off, I will go crazy."

That night, Sumi lay on the bed and wrote a letter to Xia:

Sumi obediently sat down.

What does holding hands have to do with breaking the waist? Su Mi said while hiding her hands behind her back.

Su Mi was a bit bored, so she turned on her phone.

(5).

Like wherever you want.

After three years of painting, I still can't seem to get it right.

And her?

The moon sets on the earth, the wind blows without a trace.

Before the age of 17, Sumi has always been a happy girl.

Their school is not far away, and their homes are also very close. On a spring morning, Jiang Wen would ride his bicycle to a place not far from Su Mi's house, and then take Su Mi to school. Su Mi, who was sitting behind Jiang Wen, couldn't get rid of the habit of walking to school, and still liked to wear earphones with a diskman. Jiang Wen had to speak very loudly to her for her to hear.

Mom and dad came to the station together to pick her up.

Sumi doesn't like to talk to strangers, so she continued walking forward. Her phone in her hand started ringing sharply, and Sumi panicked and turned it off. Continuing along the lake, Sumi saw two small peaks standing quietly not far away. The mountains were full of pleasing greenery.

Sumi followed him subconsciously.

Within many things she writes, she unconsciously includes these emotions. After reading, Jiang Wen would say, "It's a bit bourgeois, but also quite beautiful."

I like sushi. Jiang Wen said cunningly.

He looked up and glanced at Sumi. Perhaps it was because there were few girls from the city here. His eyes seemed to be filled with astonishment.

"Okay," Sumi said.
