Black Powder Monologue Diary

I finished my graduation thesis and have been going up the mountain for a while.

Going up the mountain means that there is no mobile phone signal at all.All external means of communication are blocked.So, I seldom use my mobile phone.

There is a small house on the top of the mountain, and behind the house is a three-acre experimental field, which is where my teacher, seniors, and I will work for a long time in the future.Because of the remote location, we purchased all the daily necessities in advance and moved them up bit by bit.

There is no electricity, and all the experimental data are recorded on paper by our own hands.The teacher had been on the mountain for a while, so he was familiar with it.The senior seems to be a little uncomfortable here. He vomited for several days because of acclimatization, and so did I, but I did not vomit as much as the senior.

We have to follow the teacher to observe in the experimental field every day, record the daily growth changes of the plants, and remember some data related to their growth.When the weather changes, it is necessary to protect the plants in time.

Day after day, busy and boring.Every night after finishing my work, I go back to my room and sit on the bed, my bones are all loose, I am so tired.

The stars on the top of the mountain are brighter than those at the foot of the mountain, and the air is fresher.The sound of insects at night is reassuring, which is some fun that cannot be enjoyed in big cities.It seems to be really isolated from the world.

Occasionally I think of Ji Shanye, just occasionally.I dare not think too much, because thinking too much means losing sleep, and if I lose sleep, I will not be able to work well the next day.

Once a month we will go down the mountain and stay briefly at the hotel at the bottom of the mountain for a few days.One is to buy daily necessities, and the other is to send the experimental data to the laboratory in City D, where there are more professional instruments to help us analyze.

However, I have one other thing I need to do.Video chat with a psychiatrist and receive therapy.Although I didn't think I needed treatment, I accepted it obediently.

Strange to say, since I learned the truth about my mother's death, I have never seen her again.

Today is the 37th day since we broke up with Ji Shanye. We haven't been in touch since the last time we talked. I think he has probably forgotten me.

There was a heavy rain on the mountain today.

The baffle of the experimental field was not unfolded, so my seniors, the teacher and I rushed over to tidy things up in the rain, opened the baffle, and covered it with plastic film before returning.

We all got wet.After changing my clothes and standing under the eaves waiting for the rain to stop, I thought of the days when Ji Shanye and I were not together.

In the film crew, when Ji Shanye fell down the mountain with him, he was injured and lay wet on my lap.I held him, and there were only the two of us left in the world.

Ji Shanye just fell asleep like that, as if he would never leave me, and I would never leave him.

If only he wasn't a star, or if I wasn't a poor student, a psycho with hallucinations.Then will our result be better, at least we can date for a little longer.

It's a pity that there is no if, Ji Shanye and I have already broken up.

Tomorrow is going down the mountain.

I've been working until nine o'clock in the evening today, so tired.

Go to bed quickly.

The first thing to do after going down the mountain is to transfer the experimental data to City D at the hotel.It takes a while to wait, and the teacher said that we can go back to the room and do our own things first.

I got to the room, charged my phone, and got ready to take a shower first.

Because there is no hot water on the mountain, you have to boil water to wash yourself.So water has also become very tight.Now at the foot of the mountain, I can finally take a good, carefree hot bath.

When I got out of the shower, I felt relaxed all over.After drying my hair, I felt a little sleepy. I lay on the bed and prepared to play with my mobile phone for a while before falling asleep.

It's just that I didn't expect that the mobile phone was turned on, there was a signal, and I saw several missed calls and WeChat messages.I seemed to see Ji Shanye's name in the news that popped up frequently, and I felt dazzled.

But no.I clicked on those missed calls, and Ji Shanye's name was still on it.

He called me many times in a few days, I counted, there were about a dozen, maybe more.

I was kind of intimidated.To be honest, I was terrified.I can't think of a reason why he would call me.The last time he contacted me was because of moving things. His tone was not good at that time. I could tell that he was angry at that time.

And this time, he even sent me a message on WeChat.

Why don't you answer the phone?

Although his message was only a short sentence, it was enough to make me panic.I can almost imagine the impatience on his face when he made this expression.

I was a little hesitant to call Ji Shanye back and explain that I didn't not answer the phone on purpose.But I really didn't dare. Ji Shanye's cold attitude during the last call made me hesitate to move.

I kept looking at my phone and didn't fall asleep until twelve o'clock in the evening.Finally, thinking that there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, I sighed, turned off the lights, stopped looking at my phone, and forced myself to fall asleep.

However, not long after closing his eyes, the phone rang.My heart seemed to be suddenly awakened, beating non-stop.I instinctively felt that it might be a call from Ji Shanye, so I didn't dare to open my eyes and touch the phone for a long time, afraid that it was him or not him who called.

I calmed down my heartbeat and looked at my phone, it was indeed Ji Shanye's call.

I stared blankly, and after a long time, when the ringtone of the mobile phone was about to disappear, I answered the call.

"Hello." My voice trembled slightly, I don't know if Ji Shanye can hear it, but I hope he can't.

After waiting for a while, there was still silence on the phone.I was a little confused, and even began to wonder if Ji Shanye accidentally dialed the phone.

"Lin Yu?"

"Yeah." I kept my head down, even though Ji Shanye couldn't see it.

He seemed to laugh lightly, as if mocking: "I thought I would never get through to your call."

"I'm sorry." I explained to him: "I didn't mean not to answer. I was on the mountain some time ago. There was no signal there, and the phone was useless. I just saw your call today."

"I don't even know how to find a better reason for lying."

I hurriedly said again: "It's true, there is no signal where I work, and the mobile phone is basically useless."

"Then how can you receive it now?"

"I'm going down the mountain. There is a signal at the bottom of the mountain. We will come down once a month to do some shopping and do other things."

Ji Shanye stopped talking, I don't know if he cares about my explanation.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked him.

Ji Shanye didn't answer me, but asked me another question: "Which mountain do you work on?"

"What's wrong?" I was a little surprised that he would ask me this.

Ji Shanye was quiet for a few seconds, and said, "I'll send those things over there for you."
