It was only eight o'clock when Tang Xu sent Song Yu home, and she refused to eat, so he packed a takeaway and handed it to her. The car was parked in the parking lot, and he was going to send her upstairs, but Song Yu refused. Say she's okay and let him go back to the hotel. He had just sent her back, the baby's full moon banquet, how could he, the uncle, show up.

Tang Xu was not worried that she would be alone, so he called his aunt to come over and accompany her. Song Yu still refused, and lightly told him that she couldn't sleep well if someone was at home.

Her face was tired and indifferent, Tang Xu had already found her mobile phone, and finally gave up and asked her to call her if she had something.

Song Yu nodded perfunctorily and entered the elevator.

She didn't have an appetite, and when she got home, Tang Xu's takeaway was thrown aside. She didn't go to wash, leaned against the entrance, and just stood dumbfounded.

After an unknown amount of time, she covered her face tightly with her hands, and only after a moment did she drag her tired body to wash.

She told Tang Xu that it was not good for someone to rest at home, but in fact, she couldn't sleep when no one was there. She was so hollow that after washing up, she took out the wine and sat down in the living room to drink it.

She drank very slowly, and her whole body was dazed. The more you drink, the clearer your mind becomes. Her heart was hollow and depressed, and the pain that spread along her limbs made her breathless.

She leaned heavily on the couch.

The room was eerily quiet, and after drinking half a bottle of wine, she got up, changed her clothes, and went out.

Her goal was clear, and when she got into the car, she told the driver the address of Yu Zhai. Since Yu's house was burned to ashes, it has become famous over there.

The driver asked her what she was doing there, and said that it was a mess and that they hardly ran there at night.

As he spoke, he looked at Song Yu in the rearview mirror.

Song Yu had a smell of alcohol on his body, and he didn't want to speak, but when he saw the driver's inquiring expression, he said indiscriminately that there was a friend over there, and she went to a friend's house.

She closed her eyes and didn't intend to speak again. Fortunately, the driver in front of him did not say any more.

The car drove for more than an hour to reach the vicinity of Yu's house, and the driver refused to turn around over there, so he stopped the car so far away and let Song Yu go by himself, saying that he could only go here.

Song Yu didn't argue with him, paid the money and said thank you and got out of the car.

It was late at night, and the neighborhood was unusually deserted. Song Yu walked a few streets, and only met a passerby who hurried home. Even the vehicles are few and far between.

The closer he got to Yu's house, the more Song Yu's heart seemed to be grabbed tightly by something, and he couldn't breathe.

In the past, you could see the lights of the house from afar, but now it is pitch black. There seemed to be a burning smell floating in the air.

Song Yu's eyes were astringent, and his pace slowed down unconsciously, approaching step by step. When she reached the ruins, she did not stop, as if Yu Mansion was still there, and went up the stone stairs step by step, entering the ruins.

The fire was so big that it even saw the pattern of the original house.

Song Yu clearly remembered where it was, and she even remembered the location of the flowers in the garden, but those flowers had been burned to ashes in the fire.

Song Yu stood in the ruins for a long time, she wanted to cry bitterly, but she couldn't cry, she stood like a puppet. Until it was dark outside.

Song left after dawn, which had been deserted before, and now there were no pedestrians, and she did not know that she had stood in the ruins all night.

She had taken a few days off work and knew she wouldn't be able to go to work in her current state. After returning home for a simple wash, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Tong's number. It was impossible to take a long-term leave of absence, and she had planned to resign. But Li Tong did not agree to her resignation, let her have a good rest, and wait for her to rest before going to work.

Song Yu thanked her.

Although she didn't rest all night, she didn't go to sleep either. After making a phone call, I walked to the living room and stopped, looking at all the furnishings in the room. It was as if this was not the place where she had lived for a long time, but a strange place.

After standing for an unknown amount of time, she returned to her bedroom and came out with her suitcase.

Song Yu didn't call anyone, and went to the airport after going downstairs with simple luggage.

Song arrived at Xiaolou in the mountains of Yu'an River at noon the next day, and the last time he came over, it was because An He arranged for a driver to pick him up. This is remote, and this time I came to find several cars, and only then did the driver want to come. However, he refused to go up the mountain, and only sent Song Yu to the foot of the mountain and left.

Song Yu was in a trance when she walked through the small bridge and stream with simple luggage, her heart was expectant, she walked to the front of the small building, and saw the lock hanging at the door, she seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water, and her heart gradually cooled down.

She didn't bother to break the lock, put her luggage aside, and sat down on the stone stairs. The scene of the Chinese New Year is still vivid, and she can even remember the scene when Yu Anhe sat by the creek to fish.

She sat at the door for a long time, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow sprinkled on the silent small building, gilding the small building with a golden halo.

The golden glow faded, and the mountains became quiet, save for the chirping of insects and birds. It was getting dark, and her shadow on the stone staircase seemed lonely. Darkness enveloped in all directions, as if it was about to swallow her up.

Song Yu didn't know where he was going, so he sat blankly, as if he didn't notice that it was dark. She was not aware of the danger she might be in the mountains alone.

Just as the last glimmer of light was about to fade out, footsteps sounded ahead. Before Song Yu raised his head, a voice sounded, and the person who came was surprised, and asked, "Miss Song, why are you here?"

Song Yu's expectations when he heard the footsteps were disappointed, and when he raised his head, he saw that the aunt who was helping in the small building came over panting. As he walked, he said, "Are you here to find Mr. Yu?" Mr. Yu usually doesn't come back, and only comes here for a few days during the Chinese New Year. ”

She talked about Yu Anhe's tone in a flat tone, and she didn't know the news from Qinghe City.

She may not even know Yu Anhe's identity, so how can she know the news from Qinghe City.

Song Yu wanted to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't. The aunt babbled again: "Just now my little nephew went down from this mountain to hunt, and told me that there was someone at the door and I still don't believe it." ”

Although she only stays in the small building for a few days every year, she only comes to the yard once in a long time. But Yu Anhe paid her richly. Just in case he didn't say hello, he hurried over when he heard someone here.

Everyone knows that Mr. Yu, who lives here and thinks it is mysterious, only comes here every year during the Chinese New Year. So no one usually comes here.

She came with the key, and as she spoke, she took out the key and opened the door. Then he said, "You should call me, it's dark and how dangerous it is for you to be out there alone." ”

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and naturally picked up Song Yu's suitcase and entered the yard.

Song Yu wanted to say that I came, but before the words could be spoken, the aunt hurriedly walked inside. asked when Song Yu came over and if he had eaten.

She had only come to clean it the other day, and the house was clean. Everything is familiar, Song Yu's throat was very astringent, and when the aunt hurriedly went to the kitchen, he asked, "Hasn't Mr. Yu been here recently?"

She also held on to her last extravagant hopes.

Her voice was astringent, but the aunt didn't notice it. She had already said just now that Guo Anhe would only come over during the New Year, and she didn't know why Song Yu would ask again, and said blankly: "No." When Mr. Yu comes over, someone will call me. ”

When she said this, she looked at Song Yu as if she remembered something, and asked cautiously, "Did you quarrel with Mr. Yu?"

Otherwise, how could she have come here at this time? And sat outside without saying a word for a day.

Song Yu didn't answer her words, stood with his head down, and nodded after a while.

In the past, it was simple to come to Anhe every year to prepare for the New Year, but this year's preparations were very rich. and personally told her a lot of things.

Moreover, in this small building, there was no one else except Ah Fei and the driver. Of course, she knew that Song Yu was special to An He, and comforted: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu should have something to do before he called you." He's careful with you. He personally guarded the room you lived in when you came. His own affairs have always been handled by Ah Fei, and he has never said anything I have done badly, but you came over and told me personally. ”

The more she said that, the more astringent Song Yu's heart became. She was afraid that her tears would fall, so she nodded in a panic and then turned her head away. Starting point Chinese

The aunt comforted her while going into the kitchen to find food, Yu Anhe only came over during the Chinese New Year, and there was nothing to eat here. She found a small bag of rice in the refrigerator and said, "I'll make you some porridge, there's nothing here, I'll go down the mountain to buy vegetables tomorrow." ”

Although Yu Anhe only comes here every year during the Chinese New Year, he never lets people in except her. So she came alone on this trip up the mountain. Her family lives at the foot of the mountain.

Song Yu nodded, responded with a hello, and thanked his aunt.

Auntie was soon busy in the kitchen, and she stood quietly in the living room. Although there has been no one living here for a long time, because my aunt often comes to turn on the ventilation, there is no smell of dust in the house. It's just like the Chinese New Year. There seemed to be a shadow of Yu An River remaining under the lamp.

Song Yu's heart was so sour that he didn't stay in the room any longer. He opened the door and went out, and stood under the eaves.

The darkness had enveloped the whole courtyard, and the mountains were quiet, except for the sound of insects chirping from nowhere.

The porridge was boiled in a short time, and the aunt gave it to Song Yusheng. She came here in a hurry, and her family had already called her.

Song Yu then asked her to go back, saying that she would take care of herself.

The aunt was a little worried, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you close the doors and windows at night, and I will come over tomorrow morning when I buy vegetables." ”

There are a lot of things going on at home, and she needs to arrange them before she can come over.

Song Yu responded, and her aunt left her a phone number again, asking her to call her if there was something, so she left in a hurry.

After the aunt left, the house was quiet again, the air was a little stuffy, and it didn't take long for the sound of rain to fall on the roof.

Song Yu went upstairs after a simple wash and lay down in the room where he lived during the Chinese New Year. Obviously, there was no one within a few miles of this, but she didn't feel afraid.

Although she was lying in bed, she couldn't sleep. He got up at midnight, went upstairs barefoot, took out the remaining wine from the wine cupboard, opened it and drank it.

She fell asleep when she was drunk, and when her aunt came the next day, she was still lying in bed.

The aunt didn't worry that she was staying here alone, so she came very early, opened the door of the room and saw that she was still asleep, so she hurriedly went downstairs to make breakfast.

Song was woken up by the sound of her aunt stomping her meat, and she lay on the bed for a while before she sat up.

It rained last night and the morning air was fresh. She stood at the window for a moment before going downstairs.

The aunt saw the bottle of wine she drank last night, but she didn't ask anything, and when she saw her, she said, "You sit down for a while, and breakfast will be ready soon." This morning, I was lucky enough to meet someone selling wild shrimp that I caught, so I bought a lot of them and boiled porridge for you, but it was fresh. ”

Now is the busy farming period, so Song knew that his aunt was busy, and said after saying hello: "You are busy with yours, you don't have to come over in the future, I will take care of myself." ”

The aunt put the side dishes she brought from home on a plate and said, "It's okay, the farm work is almost over." I'll make you breakfast and go home, you can eat whatever you want at noon, and I'll come back and make you dinner in the evening. ”

The aunt is simple, probably because she thinks that she receives a lot of money from Yu Anhe every year, and Song Yu naturally wants to take care of her.

Song Yu hurriedly said no, saying that he wanted to be alone.

The aunt hesitated for a moment, and then said that she would come over every day in the future. Buy her groceries or bring her groceries.

She didn't ask Song Yu how long she planned to stay here.

Song Yu responded well.

probably felt that Song Yu was lonely to stay here alone, and after breakfast, her aunt changed her mind and asked her to go down the mountain with her and go to her house. Someone talking can kill a little time.

Song wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist his aunt's enthusiasm, so he went down the mountain with her.

The aunt did not take the main road, but took her to take a shortcut. Her house is at the foot of the mountain, and the roof of her house can be faintly seen from the mountain.

Half an hour to arrive at her house, her home is a small courtyard, the children are going to school in other places, the family population is very simple, only her, her husband and mother-in-law.

Yesterday I dried the grain, and my mother-in-law has not done anything for many years because of her bad eyes. Worried that her husband would not be able to collect it alone, she came back in a hurry.

Her husband is a wooden man, and his aunt had already told him when he came back last night, and seeing that Song Yu was very polite, he said hello and went busily.

The seeds that should have been planted this season have been planted, and Auntie has been weeding all day. took Song Yu to the field, and picked wild flowers for Song Yu to weave a flower crown. Laughing and saying that her daughter likes to pick flowers and weave flower crowns in the field.

Song Yu stayed at her aunt's house for a day, she couldn't do anything else, and when she saw that her aunt was busy, she helped cook. The old lady with bad eyes lit the stove for her, and chattered about the short things in the family.

Song Yu stayed at his aunt's house all day, and was accompanied by his aunt up the mountain in the evening. She insisted on staying with her in a small building at night. I'm worried that she's going to be scared of a girl.

Song Yu couldn't resist her, so he had to let her.

Song Yu's mobile phone was turned off and never turned on. When I came out of the shower, I saw the mobile phone on the side, and I stood for a while before turning it on.

As soon as the phone was turned on, many text messages poured in. There is no one else, it is all Tang Xufa. The text message was all the same, asking her where she was.

Song Yu held the phone and looked at it for a while, but in the end he still sent a text message back to Tang Xu, so that he didn't have to worry, she was fine.

Tang Xu's call came almost immediately, and his voice was tired, and he asked, "Where are you?"

Song Yu didn't tell him where he was, he was silent for a while, and said, "I'm fine, I'll go back after a while." ”

Tang Xu on the other end of the phone didn't speak, and there was only a shallow breathing sound on the phone. He didn't ask Song Yu where he was again, and said after a while: "Don't turn off your mobile phone again." ”

Song Yu responded after a while.

Tang Xu on the other end of the phone didn't say much, and hung up the phone after letting her rest early.

There was a beeping sound on the phone, and Song Yu put the phone aside and stood by the window.

And Tang Xu in the office over there sat behind the desk, his fingers on his eyebrows.

Xiao Yun stood in front of him, and when he saw that he was holding his head and didn't speak, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mr. Tang, did Mrs. say where she is?" Do you want to check her mobile phone ......?"

During the time that Song Yu disappeared, he almost went through all the places where she could go. I barely closed my eyes in the past two days. His eyes were bloodshot.

If she can't find it again, I don't know what she'll do.

Tang Xu didn't speak as if he hadn't heard Xiao Yun's words, and only opened his eyes after a while, and said tiredly: "No." ”

Xiao Yun wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, Tang Xu said, "Call everyone back." ”

Xiao Yun replied yes, and hurriedly went out of the office to make a call.

Tang Xu sat at the desk, closed his eyes for a while, and then took out a cigarette and smoked it. His nerves had been tense, but now he relaxed, and he leaned back in his chair, his eyes open to the bright light overhead. After a long time, he closed his eyes tiredly.

But after closing his eyes for a moment, his phone rang. He didn't move, and it took more than ten seconds for him to pick up his phone.

The phone was called by Tang Yao, he picked it up, and as soon as he called his eldest brother, Tang Yao on the other end of the phone said, "Ah Xu, are you free now?" ”
