He said so.

The snack bar, which was originally noisy, suddenly fell silent.

The pin drop can be heard.

Everyone looked at Jin Lan with disdain.

Then, there was a burst of sneers.

Wave after wave of cynicism.

"This is a female liar?"

"Don't say it, it's okay to look good, it's a pity to be a liar. ”

"Hey, today's women, just thinking about getting something for nothing, this social atmosphere has been damaged by these women who worship money!"

"It's so thick-skinned, and you dare to hit someone? ”

The man who was thrown into the soup bag by Jin Lan was the most emotional.

He screamed: "So you are that female liar! You have the face to do those disgusting things, why don't you let us say? What are you doing when you come back now? You still want to continue to cheat and cheat!"

Jin Lan trembled.

The face is flushed.

She exclaimed, "Yes! I am the liar! I am the woman who cheated on marriage! I am guilty! So you can scold me for anything, and I deserve to beat me! But you can't insult him! He's not a fool, he's not! He's so much smarter than all of you!"

Jin Lan's words, of course, did not enter the ears of these people.

In exchange for more disdain.

"Hehe, it's a nice thing to say, it's all killed, what's the use of apologizing?"

"That's it, you are going to be a watch again, and you want to set up a memorial arch. ”

"There are so many tricks of these liars, I really don't know what kind of bad idea this is going to hold back. ”

Jin Lan stopped talking to these people.

She whispered, "I'm here to repent." ”

Then he turned and left.

"Don't go, I'm ...... dressed."

The man who told the story didn't say yes.

I hurriedly took out 200 yuan from my body and put it on the table.

"I'm sorry to pay for your clothes. ”

Then, I went out and chased after him.

"Where are we going now?" I asked Jin Lan.

"Go to the factory where he works, I think you should be able to get some news there. Jin Lan said.

Her steps were fast.

I need to trot to keep up.

Jin Lan walked a few steps, and said very seriously: "Huanxi, thanks to your encouragement this time, I mustered up the courage to come here, I really didn't expect it before, because of me, their family was not only cheated of money, deceived of feelings, and even became the object of ridicule by everyone, I am really too inhuman! I have to make up for it! I should have come early!"

Look at her resolute look.

What can I say?

As a friend, I will accompany you to the end of whatever you want to do.

As we walked, Jin Lan asked me again: "Did you hear it just now?" and he didn't agree to the arrest and filing, which means that he has me in his heart, right?

I knew it was Kim Ranh seeking my comfort.

So I could only nod.

"Of course, he loves you. ”

......

Yu Tongli previously worked in an electronic equipment factory.

It is a branch factory set up here by an outside company.

The factory area is still very large.

Standing at the gate of the factory, Jin Lan pointed to the warehouse to the north.

"See that storehouse is not there? It's new, the old storeroom has been burned. But if it weren't for the concerted efforts to fight the fire, the entire factory would have been burned down by now. At that time, it was not certain that the above company would not be willing to rebuild the entire factory, and then all the workers in the factory would lose their jobs. So he's a hero, isn't he? Those people call him a fool, that's too much!"

The two of us talked and arrived at the door of the factory.

There is a communication room at the door, and a janitor is on duty.

We can't get in.

So he inquired at the door: "Uncle, ask someone, is Yu Tongli still working here?"

The janitor listened to us and inquired about Yu Tongli.

I couldn't help sighing: "Hey, Tongli, I resigned, I'm not here!"

Both of us were cold in our hearts.

Resigned?

Not here?

So where do we find it?

I once thought that as long as Jin Lan could let go of the knot in her heart and return here again, she would be able to have a happy result.

I found that we still thought about the problem simply.

I can't even find anyone, so what kind of love and hate are you talking about?

"Uncle, why did he resign if he did a good job? Is it because the people around him laughed at him?" Jin Lan asked nervously.

She remembered the nickname "Yu Fool".

Could it be that because he was said ugly things by others, he couldn't stay in this factory anymore?

That's why I was forced to resign?

"Laugh at him? Do you mean to call him a fool? Hmph! It's all those people outside who don't understand bullshit chewing their tongues! But if those people dare to say it inside our factory, they must not be beaten to death! Tongli is a good boy! If he hadn't worked hard to put out the fire, everyone's jobs would have been lost! The leaders of the factory also appreciated him very much, and they were going to promote him to be the director of the workshop, but they still resigned. Hey, how many people regret it. The old janitor sighed.

"Then why did he resign? He ...... It's not easy to find a job out there, is it?" said Jinlan.

Jin Lan was telling the truth.

Yu Tongli's face was injured.

It was much more difficult for him to find a job than others.

"Isn't it because I was cheated by that woman!

When the old man said this, he blew his beard and glared angrily.

"You said that such a good man, how come you meet some unconscious women? The first object is not to say, as soon as I saw Tongli's face hurt, I ran away, we don't blame her, everyone has their own ambitions. Later, he married a daughter-in-law, but he turned out to be a liar! Cheating money and feelings, and committing evil! What a sunny man the child was? After being disfigured, he was in a bad mood, became taciturn, and did not like to deal with people. But since we got to know that daughter-in-law, we have become much more cheerful, and we are all happy for him. It's a pity that we are an electronic equipment factory, and the workers are all men, and there are a few women, and they are all forty miles away, so there is no suitable one. Otherwise, how could such a good man be cheap for those women outside? Hey, the eldest sisters in the factory also persuaded Tongli to introduce another good girl to Tongli, but Tongli didn't see it at all, which was chilling. Now these eldest sisters are still quite self-blaming, thinking that they have aroused Tongli's sadness, so they drove Tongli away?"

Sure enough, it was because of myself.

Jin Lan was so ashamed that her head was about to be buried in the ground.

Think about it.

What did she do?

ruined Yu Tongli's love.

ruined Yu Tongli's reputation.

ruined Yu Tongli's career.

Let him move and leave his job!

I did it all myself!

Jin Lan sat on a bench outside the factory in despair.

I sat next to her.

I don't know how to comfort her.

I asked the old man just now, do you know where Yu Tongli went after he resigned?

The old man didn't know.

The clue is broken.

......

A van came from a distance, and it looked like it was going to enter the factory.

But the car passed where we were sitting.

It was already a few tens of meters over.

Suddenly, the van reversed backwards.

Stopped in front of us.

The action was too big, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.

Then the doors opened.

A man in overalls jumped from above.

The man looked like he was not in good shape.

When I got out of the car, I slammed the door shut.

There was a loud "bang".

It scared both Jin Lan and me.

The man in overalls walked up to Jin Lan.

He pointed at Jin Lan's nose.

"I looked like you in the car just now! Now I look, it's really you! Although I've only seen you a few times, I can't forget you in my life! I've skinned you, and I know your bones! Get out! Get out of here! Why do you still have the face to come to us? Isn't it bad enough to be harmed by you!"

The man looked angry.

I heard it, this is a colleague of Yu Tongli.

They knew each other before.

Sure enough, Jin Lan's obscure eyes suddenly glowed.

"Liang Yun, it's so good to see you! You tell me, where has Tongli gone? You must know! You and he are best friends!"

The man named Liang Yun sneered: "Tell you where Tongli went, let you continue to harm him!"

Jin Lan said in an extremely humble voice: "Liang Yun, I know you are angry, I know you all hate me! But I really know that I am wrong, I came back this time to atone for my sins! Please tell me where he is!"

Liang Yun was unmoved: "Don't give me a cat to cry and pretend to be a mouse! You will still atone for your sins? Your heart is all black! Aren't you leaving? What are you going to do when you come back? Is the money you were cheated out of last time gone, and you still want to fight Tongli's idea again? I beg you to do it! Let's change someone's pit! Tongli is miserable enough, and he has been moldy for eight lifetimes when he meets you!"

This is also an emotional person.

Speaking of this, his eyes were a little red.

Obviously remembered what happened to Yu Tongli.

Jin Lan stopped talking.

Don't explain it.

Because if you say too much, the other party won't believe it.

So Jin Lan began to be in front of Liang Yun.

Slap yourself in the face.

It's not acting.

It's not cheating.

Really hit.

"Smack!"

A slap landed on Jin Lan's face.

Her face turned red all at once.

"I know it's wrong, can you tell me?"

Liang Yun was unmoved.

He sneered and said, "What? Playing bitter tricks with me? Tell you, I'm not the same force, I'm not so soft-hearted, even if you beat yourself to death, I won't feel distressed! If you have the ability, you will smash your face, anyway, this is also your own fault!"

Jin Lan continued to punch herself in the face.

"Smack!"

A slap fell on Jin Lan's face again.

The face was even redder.

Liang Yun hugged his shoulders, watched coldly, and remained silent.

Jin Lan stopped talking.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

One slap after another, fell on her own face.

The face turns from red to purple.

Blood also spilled from the side of his mouth.

I can't stand it anymore.

But I didn't say anything to stop me.

Because this is Jin Lan's choice.

She's in it for her future.

As long as you can find Yu Tongli, even if you suffer a little, it's nothing.

The pain of the present is far less than the pain of not being able to find the same strength.

It is far less than the pain of the rest of the life, and you can only be silently thinking about your lover alone.

......

By the time Jin Lan slapped himself for the 20th time, his body was already shaky.

I can see that Liang Yun is actually a little moved.

But he still kept his mouth shut and didn't want to speak.

What happened here attracted a lot of onlookers.

Mainly people in the factory.

After they learned Jin Lan's identity.

It starts with the same attitude.

Hatred of the same enemy.

They all glared angrily at Jin Lan.

Call her a liar.

It's a scourge.

Some people also spat on the ground to express their disdain.

But slowly, watching Jin Lan slap herself there, she was really hard, really ruthless.

There are some people who can't bear it.

Began to speak for Jin Lan.

"Liang Yun, you see that this girl really knows that she is wrong, tell her, and give her a chance to mend her ways. ”

"Yes, I think Tongli also has this girl in his heart, so you can fulfill them. ”

"It's pitiful to be alone. ”

Finally, Liang Yun spoke.

"Okay, don't act in front of me, if you want to act, you go and act in front of Tongli! He went back to his hometown, went out of the town forty miles to the west, Yujiaji, his family lived at the entrance of the village, there was a small river in front of the door, it was easy to find. ”

Jin Lan didn't care about wiping the blood on her mouth.

She bowed deeply to Liang Yun: "Liang Yun, thank you!"

Then he bowed to the workers: "Thank you, thank you!"

Then Jin Lan got up: "I will not disappoint everyone! I am here to atone for my sins! I will definitely find him!"

After speaking, Jin Lan took me and walked in the direction that Liang Yun said.

We walked a few tens of meters.

Liang Yun's voice suddenly came from behind: "You stop." ”

Both of us stood still.

Back.

I saw Liang Yun let out a sigh, and then said loudly: "Come on!"

After him.

The workers also shouted, "Come on!"

Even the old janitor came, and he said, "Girl, you don't look like a bad person, go ahead, find your man! Uncle supports you! Wait to eat your candy!"

Jin Lan smiled.

This smile is both bitter and gratifying.

She nodded heavily.

Then walk towards the rising sun.

......

40 miles, in fact, is 20 kilometers.

In big cities, it's not a long distance.

A short drive away.

However, the township transportation is underdeveloped.

There are no taxis.

If you want to sit on the bus, you have to wait.

So we had to choose to take the popular means of transportation in the township.

Mo's.

To Yu's home set.

When I entered the entrance of the village, I saw a courtyard by the river.

The courtyard door was open.

An old man was sweeping the floor at the doorway.

There was also an old lady who was doing laundry in the yard.

"Daddy!"

"Mother!"

Jin Lan rushed forward.

Hearing this, I know that we have finally found the right place after a long journey.

This old couple is Yu Tongli's parents.

The two old men saw Jin Lan.

The old lady was so surprised that she knocked over the laundry tub in her hand.

She looked at Jin Lan and wanted to say something.

But Father Yu had already snorted heavily, threw the broom in his hand, and was about to close the courtyard door.

"Daddy, I'm Jin Lan, I know it's wrong, I'm back to find Tongli! Is he at home? I want to see him!"

Jin Lan said loudly.

"Let's go, our family doesn't want to see you!" said Father Yu with a calm face.

Jin Lan "plopped" and knelt at the door.

"Daddy, I know you hate me! Hate me for lying to you and deceiving Tongli! But I'm here to repent now! It's okay if you beat me or scold me, I won't leave! I know I've done a lot of sins, but I'll make up for it with the rest of my life!"

"Your confession, we are not rare!"

Yu's father slammed the courtyard door shut.

A long sigh was heard from Yu Mu inside.

Jin Lan knelt in the doorway.

She turned to me and said, "Axi, you can go, I've found a place." I guess I'm going to wait here for a long time, so I won't delay your time, you still have business in the provincial capital. ”

There was a pause.

Jin Lan said again: "It's just that I promised you, I'm afraid that the matter of returning to the provincial capital to invite you to a big dinner will be temporarily broken, I'm sorry." ”

After saying that, Jin Lan smiled.

At this moment, she actually laughed?

I could tell that her smile was genuine.

From the heart.

Not at all reluctantly.

Is she heartless?

Isn't there any shame?

Is it skinless and faceless?

No.

No.

Neither.

I can understand why Jin Lan is laughing at this time.

Because she has finally reached her destination.

After a lot of hard work, I finally found this place.

This is the place where Cam Ranh wants to come the most.

Here, there are people who are haunted by her dreams.

This is where she belongs.

Even if the other party doesn't accept her.

But here she is, content.

She didn't want to go anywhere but here.

I didn't say anything.

Didn't go either.

I'm standing right behind Jin Lan.

Look at the distant mountains.

Looking at the near village.

Look at the white clouds.

Look at the green trees.

Looking at the three tiled houses in front of him.

Looking at a yellow dog that came out of nowhere, happily spreading joy on the dirt road.

Looking at the resolute, kneeling woman in front of the door.

Suddenly, I felt that this situation and this scene really looked like a painting.

I don't know anything about art, though.

But I think this scene is beautiful.

So, I actually cried.

Tears flowed.

Even I don't know why I'm crying.

......

We started tossing in the morning.

The old house of the Yu family, at the breakfast stall, at the gate of the factory, is now here again.

Before you know it, most of the day has passed.

Jin Lan has been kneeling for nearly two hours.

But the door of Yu's house still didn't move.

It's like it's never been opened.

If it weren't for the fact that a few coughs came from time to time in the yard.

It makes people wonder if there is anyone in this yard.

5 p.m.

The houses in the village are all curling with smoke.

It's time to start a fire and cook.

This Yujiaji is not large, and it is more than 100 households by visual inspection.

The people who live there are also scattered people.

So Jin Lan knelt here and didn't attract the attention of the others.

The door finally opened.

Yu's mother walked out with a bucket of water.

She glanced at Jin Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't say anything.

Pour the dirty water out of the bucket.

As she passed me, she said to me, "Take her away, we don't want to see her." The past is gone, and we don't want to talk about it anymore. Don't say anything about atonement and non-atonement, don't provoke us again, and we will be grateful. ”

After speaking, Yu Mu's face showed a very sad look.

I'm going to take this opportunity.

"Auntie, I am a friend of Jin Lan, I know that she has done something wrong before, deceived your feelings, and broken your heart, I can't defend her. Although she has bitter intentions, those hardships are not a reason for her to lie to you, because you are innocent! But can you give her a chance? Give her a chance to change her mind? Is she really going to change her ways, she really has feelings for Tongli! Even if she wants to refuse, let her meet Yu Tongli, okay?"

Yu's mother heard me.

Laughed too.

It's just that this smile is full of bitterness: "Chance? Give her a chance? Then who will give my son a chance again! My son was such a good person, but he was burned like this by a fire, who gave him another chance? Still want to meet? What do you do when you meet? Sprinkle salt on my son's wound and stab him in the tip of the heart!"

Her questioning left me speechless.

After Yu's mother asked, her voice was a little quieter: "So you go, we don't want to see you! Our hearts are already bitter enough, you can do it." ”

After speaking, Yu's mother returned to the small courtyard.
