Chapter 123
The little girl pointed behind him. Before Lingyi could turn around, he was knocked on the head:"Where did this bastard come from? What are you doing with this sneaky look!"
This loud voice like a bell must be his mother.
Lingyi felt a little aggrieved. He turned around and saw the old lady, who was in good spirits, holding a basket of vegetables in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, staring at him fiercely. Where did this young boy come from? Could he be a human trafficker?
Lingyi looked at the thin old lady in front of him and was speechless for a while. He just felt lucky. After more than ten years of separation, his parents were still alive. God knows how scared he was to see two graves on the way here.
"Hello." Lingyi showed a kind smile,"I'm passing by from another place, can I have a glass of water?"
The old lady looked him up and down, passed by him:"Wait."
Lingyi felt aggrieved, why didn't you let me in.
He looked at the small building, newly built, not long ago, clean and tidy. Looking through the gate, there was a car parked in the yard.
It seemed that he was living a good life.
More than ten years ago, when he walked out of here, his home was still a bungalow. He was the only child in the village who was admitted to university. He went out to study for less than a year, and who would have thought that he would encounter bandits on the road, disappear and die, and his life came to an abrupt end.
He has been missing for so long, his family should have thought he was dead a long time ago, right?
There has been no news for more than ten years, and when they meet again, everything has changed.
"Here." The old lady came out quickly and handed him a bowl of water.
"Thank you." Lingyi smiled and drank the water in small sips.
The old lady frowned:"What's that smell on you? It's stinky. You are such a young man and you don't care about hygiene."
Lingyi thought to himself that his mother was still so outspoken and fierce.
When he was a child, he was chased and beaten for a disagreement. It was very miserable. After he finished drinking the water and handed the bowl back, he saw an old man with a cane coming out of the house. His hair and beard were all white, but he looked in good spirits. Lingyi greeted him:"Hello, uncle." The old man nodded to him, took the little girl from before, and walked outside. The little girl looked at him timidly:"Brother, goodbye."
Lingyi smiled,"Goodbye."
He said to the old lady:"Is this your granddaughter? So cute."
The old lady's expression eased a little:"Yes, you can leave after you finish drinking the water."
Lingyi shamelessly:"I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat?"
"Go away, no, you are still being rude to me." The old lady closed the door, and Lingyi sighed outside, she is still in good spirits.
Really good.
He took a few steps back and looked at this place, wanting to engrave it into the depths of his soul, knowing that you are all well, he can leave with peace of mind.
At this time, the door was opened from the inside, and the old lady gave him a small bag of buns,"Here, take it with you on the road."
Lingyi smiled, he was still so sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.
He took it happily:"Thank you."
The old lady's eyes changed when she looked at him. He really looked like my youngest son.
Her heart ached and she waved her hand to signal him that he could leave.
No matter how much he looked like him, he was not him.
Lingyi watched her close the door again, sit at the door and finish eating the buns, then kneel down in the direction of the door and kowtow."I cannot take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life to repay your kindness in raising me. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you."
The old grandfather came from the other side with his granddaughter. The little girl was holding snacks in her hands. Obviously, the grandfather and granddaughter went to the canteen. They happened to see Lingyi getting up from the ground. The old grandfather walked over tremblingly. He stared at Lingyi:"You, youngest son? Is it you?"
The old grandfather's eyes were a little blurry. He just felt that this figure looked very much like the youngest son he and his wife had been thinking about day and night. He grabbed his arm excitedly:"You're back!"
Lingyi felt sad. He looked at the wrinkles on his father's face, his graying hair, and his once strong back, which was now hunched. He had already become an octogenarian in the vicissitudes of life. Who could have thought that the separation back then would last a lifetime?
"You got the wrong person, I'm just a stranger who came here to travel." Lingyi said with a smile.
The old grandfather's face was instantly disappointed, and he murmured to himself:"It's not him?"
He let go of Lingyi, pulled his granddaughter, opened the door, and then closed it again. A door cut off all contact.
If Lingyi had tears, he would have cried like a river at this moment.
Dragging his tattered body, the person who should have been buried deep in the ground looked up at the sky, the road home is long, this will be my end, please take care, take care.
He knelt down and kowtowed three times, then turned and left.
There is no need to recognize each other, why let them suffer the pain of losing their son again
""My little one." His parents were waiting outside the door, eagerly waiting,"Come back soon, put on more clothes when it's cold, and call home more often to let us know you're safe."
"Hey! Okay!"The young and handsome boy agreed, and left home happily with his luggage, rushing towards the bustling city, but he didn't know that after this farewell, there would be no way back.
Lingyi walked away alone, and the door behind him opened quietly. An elderly couple shed tears secretly, and the little girl beside them was puzzled:"Grandpa, grandma, why are you crying?"
The old grandmother looked at the figure until she could no longer see the figure. She touched her granddaughter's tender face:"Grandpa and grandma are leaving, Jiaoer, you and your brother must get along well in the future, don't fight, and listen to mom and dad, understand?"
The little girl was puzzled:"Where are we going? Can Jiaojiao go?"
The old grandmother smiled:"No, grandpa and grandma are tired and want to go to bed. Jiaojiao can't come to disturb them."
The little girl opened her big eyes and nodded vigorously:"Jiaojiao be obedient and don't disturb grandpa and grandma."
The couple smiled at each other. They should have been buried in the earth long ago, but they were holding on to their last breath just for that little thought. Now that little thought was gone, and with the knot in their hearts untied, it was time to leave.
Lingyi walked to the east end of the village, which was already deserted. He asked someone,"Excuse me, where did the
Huang family go?" The villager was over 50 years old."Where is the Huang family?"
Lingyi was puzzled."Huang Jialin? He used to be the village chief here, and his daughter is Huang Ying."
The villager suddenly realized and looked him up and down."The Huang family moved away a long time ago, and Huang Ying died ten years ago. Poor thing, they said she died of depression.
"A few years ago, the youngest son of the Bai family disappeared outside and was said to be dead. The beautiful eldest daughter had already secretly married him, but she died of grief. The Huang family moved away after that."
Ling Yi was struck by lightning, and he trembled and said,"Do you know where she is buried?"
The villager pointed to the west of the village:"The back mountain, because the daughter died young and unmarried, she was hastily buried. I don't know where she is buried. Who are you to their family?"
Zero One said nothing, but just shook his head. Seeing that he seemed crazy, the man ignored him. How could he be crazy?
The back mountain was overgrown with weeds. Zero One searched almost everywhere before finally finding a small grave in the corner. The tombstone was mottled. He stroked it and confirmed that the person in the grave was his childhood sweetheart.
The wind from the mountains blew a low wail, desolate and helpless, sweeping the sadness up and asking the sky.
The girl who was like peach blossoms in memory, slept here forever, the grave was full of dry grass, she once wandered alone on the only road in the village leading to the outside world She waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for her lover.
What was she thinking when she was dying, overwhelmed by the burden? We promised to grow old together, and we promised to come back to marry me, where did you go?
The wind in the valley blew in his ears, complaining softly, and like a spoiled child, Brother, you finally came back to pick me up.
Lingyi carefully pulled out the weeds on the grave. There was silence all around, and he sat there until sunset.
His body gradually rotted, and Lingyi took out the mobile phone that Lin Xi prepared for him and called Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was leaning on the hospital bed typing on the computer, and he picked up the phone:"Hello, Lingyi?"
Lingyi told him about his own affairs in a low voice,"I am a useless person. I can neither catch the people who hurt me nor avenge myself. I am leaving, Boss, thank you for taking care of me during this period. I can't repay you for your kindness, but I wish you a healthy life."
Lin Xi felt lost in her heart:"Don't worry, I will seek justice for you, and the bad guys will get the punishment they deserve. I will do what I say."
Ling Yi smiled and said,"I believe you, boss. You are a man who can create miracles. I believe in you." After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi added a handful of dirt to Huang Ying and said,"You have been afraid of the dark since you were a child. You are very timid. Damn it, how could I leave you alone here for so long?""
"Little girl, I'm here to accompany you."
Night fell, Lingyi's body fell on the grave, the flesh rotted quickly, they were close and inseparable.
An old couple walked in from afar through the weeds, the youngest, the idiot.
The next day, the village blew funeral trumpets, beat gongs and drums, from the east end to the west end of the village, announcing the arrival of death.
The most outstanding young man and the most beautiful girl in the village were eventually buried underground by the years. It was hard to accept or regretful, the flowers were the same year after year, but the people were different year after year.
Lin Xi got out of bed, opened the window, and a cool breeze blew away the wet tears from the corners of his eyes. In this world of long and urgent roads, how many lives have been buried because of sinful greed? How can he not be sad?
"What are you thinking about?" Jing Xiao opened the door and walked in,"Be careful not to catch a cold."
Lin Xi turned around with cold eyes:"Thinking about ways to kill people."
Jing Chen, who came in later, raised his eyebrows:"Save it, what can you do with this little energy? Take good care of your body, killing people? Can you use a knife?"
Lin Xi said angrily:"Bah, I have the strength of a thousand pounds, my martial arts are unparalleled, and I can travel a thousand miles a day, and you actually look down on me!"
Jing Xiao stroked him:"Okay, okay, you are the best, come, eat."
Lin Xi was stuffed with a mouthful of meat, and he leaned close to Jing Xiao, and he was indeed much more obedient.
Jing Chen simply couldn't bear to look at the two of them. At this moment, he regretted it very much. Why did he follow him? Isn't it nice to stay with his wife?
After dinner, Lin Xi lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone, and suddenly asked:"Has Yin Qiu been bailed out?"
Jing Xiao was a little surprised:"How did you know?"
Lin Xi smiled:"I checked Yin Minghan's contact records and deduced it. The Yin family's network of relationships is really amazing. I admire it."
Jing Xiao's eyes were firm:"It's only temporary. There is a sharp sword hanging above power and money to maintain the stability of the country. Xiaoxi, don't worry."
