Chapter 107: Below
Li Lingyu looked at Li Mo's dilapidated home, "Li Mo, aren't your parents at home?"
"My dad said my mom died young, and as for my dad, being alive is no different from dying. Li Mo said lightly: "Xiaoyu, you put me down." ”
Li Lingyu's eyebrows converged, and Qiong's nose moved, "I'm sorry, Li Mo, I shouldn't have asked." ”
Li Mo smiled and said, "What should I not ask about this?" Xiaoyu, let me down, you probably have been tired after carrying it for so long. ”
"It's okay, I'm quite energetic, and it's no problem to bend you. Li Lingyu thought that the mention of Li Mo's mother just now would remind him of sad things, so she began to say some witty things to change the topic, but she has always been cold and has no brains when she says witty things.
Li Mo didn't hold back his laughter: "Xiaoyu, don't joke if you can't joke." Do you know what it means to bend?"
"I don't know, what do you mean?" Li Lingyu frowned.
"If you don't know, forget it, you can let me down. ”
"Put you on the couch?"
Li Mo looked at the sofa, thinking that Li Zhipeng often lay on the sofa and drank unconscious, and the stench of vomiting was stinking, he couldn't help frowning, "Please send me to my room." ”
Li Mo said and pointed to Li Lingyu in the direction of his room.
"Li Mo, your room is like a study. Putting Li Mo on the bed, Li Lingyu, who was visiting the room, was surprised to find that under the four walls of Li Mo's room, there were thick stacks of books, like a small Great Wall.
These books are all waste books that Li Mo picked up or collected from others at a low price in the past.
In the past, when he was still young, he would earn a little money by picking up garbage and reselling old books.
It was also in the past two years that he was older and could go to the street to earn money as a stick, so he rarely went to the street to set up a stall to sell books.
Most of the books that are still in the room are books that have not been sold, and Li Mo put them here in the hope that he will sell them after the price of waste paper recycling is a little higher in the future. In addition, there are a small number of books such as novels that he likes, which he has also preserved.
Li Lingyu took a book and read it curiously.
But after just a few glances, her cheeks flushed slightly.
I saw that the cover of the book she was holding in her hand depicted two seductive girls, in addition to several eye-catching advertising slogans.
'Cure kidney deficiency, no sugar, just eat Emperor soft capsules. ’
'Caring for the health of both sexes, go to Surabaya Wellcome Pharmacy. ’
"Li Mo, why are you reading this kind of book?"
Li Mo was a little embarrassed, why did Li Lingyu find this book.
"I haven't seen it, it's a brochure from a specialist hospital. I picked it up and was going to sell it. ”
Hearing this, Li Lingyu touched the stack of books with his hand, "Are you all picking up these books? Are they all ready to be sold?"
"Some were picked up, and some were collected at low prices from others. When the market improves, most of the books here will be sold. ”
"That's it!" Li Lingyu opened the curtains, looked outside, turned his back to Li Mo and asked, "Li Mo, you have a hard time like this, right?"
Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay." When you can't even solve the problem of eating, where do you have the heart to think about whether it is hard or not. Selling a book, picking up a few empty bottles, someone hiring you to move things, these things that can make you happy, can make you happy for a long time. ”
Li Mo's words made Li Lingyu fall into a short silence, and Li Mo's appearance opened the door to another world for her.
A world she had never seen before.
The room was quiet, cicadas chirped noisily outside under the leaves of the banyan trees, and two black cats were fighting each other in the muddy clearing of the ground.
Li Lingyu suddenly turned around and looked at Li Mo lying on the bed, "Li Mo." ”
"What?"
"Are you hungry?"
"It's okay!"
"Are you hungry?"
"Hungry. ”
"What ingredients do you have at home?"
"It's just noodles and kimchi, what are you going to do?"
"I'll give you something to eat. ”
Li Mo's heart warmed, "Thank you, Xiaoyu." ”
"It's all classmates, you're welcome, besides, you've helped my grandma many times. ”
Li Mo has helped Li Lingyu's grandmother a lot, and when Li Mo was not a stick on the street before, he helped her resist rice and carry vegetables. Later, after he became a stick, Grandma Song knew that Li Mo's family background was very poor, so she gave him money every time and kept him to eat from time to time.
Li Lingyu didn't argue, just smiled and went to the kitchen.
Li Mo's kitchen is very small, but the light is good, and through the kitchen window, you can see a green hill.
Li Lingyu rummaged in the kitchen, and couldn't help frowning, he really didn't have any food at home except noodles and two jars of mustard and kimchi.
It's all non-nutritious food.
Li Mo felt the sensation in his legs, recovered a lot, he tried to get out of bed, and he could barely stand up. He felt a little bored, so he followed the wall to the kitchen door and talked to Li Ling.
"Xiaoyu, why did I only see your grandmother every time I went to your house before, and never saw you and your mother?"
"My mom and I used to be in Jinghua, and I only transferred here this semester, and my mom quit early. ”
Li Mo didn't understand much about retreating or something, "What about your grandfather?"
"My grandfather. Li Lingyu paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Go and accompany his comrades and subordinates." ”
Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, what kind of reason is this, let his wife not accompany him to accompany his brother.
"Why?"
Li Lingyu stopped and pointed in the direction of the martyr's cemetery in the distance.
"Oh, do you know that cemetery? My grandfather went to rest there with his comrades. ”
Li Mo was slightly stunned, and then remembered that the first time he met Grandma Song a few years ago was a rainy morning, that night Li Zhipeng drank too much wine and went crazy at home, in order to avoid him, Li Mo simply went to the martyr's cemetery to sleep.
It was a bad day, and it started to rain in the morning.
Li Mo was curled up in the gazebo of the cemetery to sleep, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that Li Lingyu's grandmother had been helping him cover the rain at that time.
This is also the reason why Li Mo will often help Grandma Song in the future.
The life he had experienced was dark enough, and it was good not to hate the world.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. ”
"I'm sorry. My grandfather used to be very tormented when he was alive, and he often had nightmares at night calling the names of his comrades, and it was a good thing for him to leave this world. People, there will always be a day of death, you have to look at the point. ”
Li Mo stared at Li Lingyu directly, wanting to find out why she came.
Li Lingyu glared at Li Mo, "Why are you looking at me? It's rude for you to stare at a girl like this, you know?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just curious about what's going on in your head, you take life and death so lightly at a young age. ”
"It's not too light. It's good to live when you're alive, and it's not a big deal to die. I always felt that the material world we live in is not the only world, and even if we die, we will go to another place.
When you think about it this way, there is nothing terrible about death. Do you say?"
"I don't know. ”
"If you don't know, just eat noodles. ”
Li Lingyu boiled two bowls of slim noodles and served them in two large bowls, but except for a little oil star in the bowl, it was noodles and shredded mustard. Bland, no.
The two chatted while eating.
Li Mo felt as if he had returned to the days when Jin Xuan was still there, and they were the same, one of them was holding a big bowl, eating noodles, and talking about things that didn't hurt or itch.
"Xiaoyu, is it because you train so much because you have such a big hand?"
Li Lingyu's physical fitness is considered an outlier to many girls, and Li Mo has come into contact with some farm aunts who buy vegetables are not necessarily stronger than her.
"Well, I've always loved dancing and started training at a very young age. ”
"I thought you liked music. ”
Li Mo remembers that when he first saw her, she was carrying a guitar on her back.
"The music is fine, but my favorite thing is dance. I have a dream to reproduce the dances that have disappeared in the history of China.
Such as "Ni Dress and Feather Clothes", "Sword Weapon", "Green Waist", "Lanling King" and other dances.
You also said before that the dances of the Tang Dynasty are divided into jian dance and soft dance, and the sword dance is a kind of jian dance, and if I want to reproduce these dances, I can't do it without enough physical fitness. ”
Li Mo couldn't help but be speechless, "When you were a child, you thought about how to revive traditional culture, but when I was a child, I thought about how to play with Sister Xuan in the mud." There is really no comparison between people. ”
"Who is Sister Xuan?" Li Lingyu buried his head when he asked this, avoiding Li Mo's gaze.
"The children of the aunt's family downstairs, we grew up together. Li Mo explained.
Lin Xi: "You call her sister because she is much older than you?"
Li Mo: "Actually, she is younger than me, but she has to call her sister." ”
Lin Xi: "Then what about her now, the door was closed when she passed downstairs just now." ”
Li Mo: "Aunt Lin Yan is working in the field, and Sister Xuan has gone to school in Lijiang City." Lijiang Middle School, she is the champion of the city's high school entrance examination this year, which is particularly powerful. ”
"It's pretty impressive. ”
Speaking of this, Li Lingyu didn't ask. After finishing eating, he cleaned up the tableware and fried Chinese medicine for Li Mo, and Li Lingyu left.
It was almost the middle of the night, Li Mo had already slept, and the drunken Li Zhipeng came back from outside.
Smelling the strong smell of Chinese medicine in the room, Li Zhipeng came to the door of Li Mo's bedroom with a black face, twisted the doorknob, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
After what happened last time, Li Mo installed a deadbolt inside.
In the past, when he was young, he also wanted to do this, but he was afraid that Li Zhipeng would beat him even worse when he found out, but now that he is older, his fear of Li Zhipeng is not so deep, so he installed this deadbolt.
After opening the door to no avail, Li Zhipeng kicked the door a few times as if venting, and then ran to the kitchen to make a clanging sound.
This was followed by vicious cursing, and then it didn't take long for Li Zhipeng's voice to sound outside.
