Millennium director

The next day, after lunch, Wu Yuan traveled light, carrying a small backpack and his wife Liu Yifei, and set off from home to meet Xia Yu and Liu Ye who also drove by themselves.

The three families were very tacit, not bringing their children, only themselves.

Wu Yuan's family was mainly because the children were too young, and it was not suitable for them to go to the top of the mountain to celebrate the New Year with their parents.

The children of the other two families were just the right age. Xia Yu's daughter Xia Haha was 11 years old, Liu Ye's son was 10 years old, and his daughter was 8 years old. In fact, it was very suitable to take them to the top of the mountain to camp for the New Year.

But these two families were obviously prosperous families. Compared with family travel, they seemed to hope that this New Year's Eve event would be a couple's trip without "drags" together.

After all, in Xia Yu's words, they were looking for youth this time. Who would bring a seven or eight-year-old child when they were young?

Recalling campus life and recalling the once unrestrained youth were the purpose of their New Year's Eve event this time.

Wu Yuan agreed very much.

After all, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Liu Ye, and Liu Ye's wife are all middle-aged people in their forties, and Wu Yuan will be 39 next year. Everyone has indeed reached the age of "reminiscing about youth".

Those who study in art schools are more or less literary youths in their hearts, and it is easy to be moved by such activities.

Wu Yuan, who couldn't understand it when he first received the call, also enjoyed it after coming to his senses. Today he was very active.

Following Xia Yu's car, they spent almost two hours, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the foot of a small mountain with an altitude of more than 700 meters in the Yanshan Mountains.

A mountain with an altitude of more than 600 meters is definitely not worth mentioning in the south, but in the north, except for the Qilu region, it is already a good altitude.

"The top of this mountain is contracted by a travel company. Now it is very well developed commercially. There is a very professional camping area, providing one-stop camping services."

"That is to say, even if we don't bring anything, as long as we go up, we can enjoy all the camping links, and we don't have to worry about not bringing or missing anything. Whether it is a tent, a barbecue grill, or mosquito repellent, sleeping bags, everything is available."

"Of course, the premise is that you have to make an appointment in advance. Only after the appointment will they prepare everything in advance according to the number of people."

As Xia Yu led everyone up the mountain, he was still introducing the situation of this camping site to them.

They chose the butler-style or one-stop service, which costs more money and requires advance reservations. The advantage is that nothing needs to be prepared.

However, the camping area on the top of the mountain is very large, and it is not all managed by travel companies. Ordinary tourists can go camping there without any problem, but they need to bring all their own items or rent them on site, which is a bit more troublesome.

Xia Yu is an actor after all. Although he has not been filming much in recent years, his investment has been booming. He is also a person with no shortage of money. Of course, he chose to spend money to buy experience.

Wu Yuan agreed with this.

Because on the way up the mountain, they saw many tourists carrying tents and camping bags climbing up.

Although 600 meters is not really high, and it is completely incomparable to the Five Mountains, which are more than 1,000 meters high, it is not short either. After all, climbing a mountain is not only about the altitude, but also about whether the mountain road is winding and steep.

If they really had to carry a lot of things to climb the mountain, Wu Yuan would definitely not be willing to do so.

It's not that he can't do it, but there's no need to ask for trouble.

It feels just right to carry a small backpack, bring some drinking water and snacks and climb the mountain.

Starting at 3 pm, the three couples chatted about their recent situation and anecdotes in the circle while walking slowly towards the camping area on the mountain. It was not until 6 pm that they finally arrived at the camping area, which was about 20 to 30 acres square.

Because it took a long time and there were many rest times in the middle, the three couples were not tired. Even Yuan Quan, who had the worst physique, was just a little out of breath, and was not exhausted at all.

But Xia Yu felt sorry for his wife. As soon as he arrived at the camping area, he immediately called the person in charge, and then the person in charge took them to the "VIP" area that was circled. There were already three relatively luxurious tents set up here, each with two very warm sleeping bags.

Barbecue grills, skewers, hot pot, beef, mutton and other food were also placed on several open-air tables.

"Come on, come on, make your own food and clothing, I've prepared barbecue and hot pot."

"It's a pity that the light pollution in our capital is too serious now. Even in the mountains, it's hard to see the brilliant starry sky at night."

"Otherwise, eating barbecue and singing while looking up at the starry sky, it would be so beautiful!"

"Ye Zi, Yuan Er, I remember when we were in college, we ran out to see the stars at night. There were still many stars in the sky at that time."

Xia Yu opened a beer to share with Wu Yuan and Liu Ye, and talked about the past with emotion on his face.

I don't know what happened, but today he really likes to reminisce about the past. When they were climbing the mountain before, he kept talking about the past with the two of them. He also shared a lot of interesting things and scandals when they were in college with Liu Yifei and Liu Ye's wife, which made them laugh.

"What's the matter, Brother Yu? Why do I feel that you are not in the right mood?" Liu Ye asked with a puzzled look. His main point is to be direct.

Wu Yuan also looked at Xia Yu with a searching look.

"Nothing, it just feels like things have changed." Xia Yu took a sip of beer, and while watching Yuan Quan and Liu Yifei busy with the barbecue, he said in an ambiguous way: "Everyone has been busy in the past few years, and I don't think it's a big deal. I always feel that there will be more time in the future, and there will be opportunities to get together again. We are all still young."

"But now think about it, in fact, we are not young anymore, and things are unpredictable. Who knows what the future will be like? Sometimes it is more important to seize the present."

"This has nothing to do with your reminiscence of your past youth, right?" Wu Yuan was even more confused.

Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds, looked up at the sky with only a few sparse stars shining, and sighed, "I have several classmates from high school who died this year."

"I just found out that the reasons for death are different. Some are due to illness, and some are accidents."

"I always felt that death seemed to be far away from us, but now some of my peers have suddenly passed away, and I found that death seems to be not far away from me."

"So while there is nothing to do now, it's good for everyone to get together more, meet more, and talk about the past."

Hearing his thoughts, Wu Yuan and Liu Ye looked at each other, both in a bad mood, and death is always a heavy topic.

The conversation began to fall silent.

A few minutes later, a bottle of beer was silently drunk.

Wu Yuan sighed.

"There's nothing much to say, I hope we can all be safe every year."

"Yes, as long as we can be safe every year, we will be happy enough." (End of this chapter)
