Chapter 40 Late Letter
Xia Mo, a seven-year-old child, is indeed a little out of line with the atmosphere of the workshop, because the song "I wish you a smooth journey" was sung in the car, and she had heard this song and knew the story inside.
Thinking of her parents and Xiao Ke, Xia Mo also sang a few words, but most of them just opened their mouths and didn't make a sound.
At noon, everyone was hungry and opened the package one after another, and the family prepared lunch. Xia Mo took out the scallion pancake made by her mother and ate it in small bites. Mother's taste, eat in the mouth, happiness in the heart.
For children who leave home, the family will always cook something delicious, and everyone else has cakes, steamed buns, eggs and the like in their hands.
Xia Mo was in a low mood and didn't speak, and a girl who was older than He Tiantian on the side said, "My name is Li Yu, little sister, what about you? Why do you want to go into the city at such a young age? What about your parents?"
"My name is Xia Mo, my parents ......" Xia Mo said shyly, going out, young, still don't talk much.
"Oh, then what are you doing in the city? Looking for relatives?" Li Yu said, "I...... Sort of!" Xia Mo didn't know how to answer, thinking about the Dr. Hua family he met later, so he said yes.
"And where are your relatives? Xia Mo smiled, "No need, I can do it myself." ”
"Well, seeing that your face is so tender, you're only six or seven years old, right? I'm just afraid that you're unfamiliar with your life and get lost, and you don't have any malicious intent. Li Yu asked, obviously worried that Xia Mo would be deceived because of her young age.
"I'm 8 years old. Xia Mo said, saying that she was a year older, and she didn't want others to know that she was too young, so she thought she was a bully.
"8 years old, that's not big, I'm eighteen, you can call me sister, I'll take you to your relatives when you get off the bus." Li Yudao, she still didn't worry about such a young Xia Mo going to the city alone.
Going to the city alone at such a young age, her family is really willing, Li Yu pities Xia Mo for leaving her parents at a young age, just like a big sister, and wants to take care of He Tiantian more.
"Hmm. Xia Mo nodded, she didn't refuse Li Yuanyuan's enthusiasm, she knew that Li Yu was caring about her, so she didn't refute it, even if she couldn't be a friend, she didn't want to be an enemy.
Other people around also made introductions, but none of them went to the orphanage, so Xia Mo didn't talk much to those people.
It's the hottest time of the year. There was sweat on everyone's faces, and the carriage was filled with the smell of sweat, body odor and other unpleasant smells.
But Xia Mo found that she was very cool and didn't sweat at all. She has loved to sweat since she was a child, and on such a hot day, her face was already covered with sweat, and her clothes would be soaked with sweat, but now it is very cool.
But think about it, maybe it's because of a dream, feel it carefully, Xia Mo found something strange again, the coolness of the body came from the place of the left foot and neck, spreading all over the body.
Could it be that she has her own central air conditioning? Xia Mo curiously reached out and touched it, there was nothing on her ankles! I wanted to stretch my feet to take a look, but it was very crowded, and all the salutes were placed at my feet, and it was not good to look at it now, so let's talk about it when I settle down. When the time for the usual nap came, Xia Mo was a little sleepy, holding the small package, and fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up, it was already night, Xia Mo asked Li Yu to help take a look at the salute, went to the end of the carriage and asked the attendant for hot water, and went to the toilet by the way.
The smell in the bathroom was very strong, and after Xia Mo hurriedly released the memory, he fastened his pants and ran out. Originally, I wanted to see why it was cool on my feet and neck, but I forgot about it.
When I came back, I took a pot of boiling water and came back for dinner. Everyone also began to fetch water and eat.
After a day and a night, everyone's enthusiasm was released late, listless, and I hope to reach our destination as soon as possible.
Every time I arrived at a train station, there were people going down, and there were fewer and fewer people on the train, empty carriages, and a few points of Linso.
There were fewer people in the car, it became empty, Xia Mo didn't have time to hurt the spring and autumn, and knew that he was about to arrive in the city, so he got up and packed his bags. She has a lot of things, which are prepared for her by her parents and Xiaoke.
The contents of the package at hand are edible, and they have already been eaten. Her large luggage was on top, Xia Mo stood on the empty seat by herself, went to get her luggage, and Li Yu followed below.
"I didn't notice that you are small, but your strength is not small. Li Yu praised, that big package, she felt heavy when she held it, but she didn't expect Xia Mo to take it off the shelf at once.
Xia Mo casually found an excuse and said with a smile: "I've worked since I was a child." ”
In fact, Xia Mo was also very strange in her heart, she didn't know that her strength was so great, a 7-year-old girl didn't dare to imagine that her anger would be so big.
When I finally arrived at my destination, when I got off the bus, the car suddenly shook like an earthquake, and there was an ethereal shout "Momo...... Momo ......"
Xia Mo felt that he had entered the chaos again, and the touch gradually came from his hand, which was very real, warm and reluctant, and in the confusion, his name became clearer and clearer.
When I opened my eyes and looked at the person next to me, it turned out that ...... It was a dream that woke up, the real Xiao Ke was lying beside him, Xia Mo only felt weak all over his body, but at least he survived another day, and thought he would not wake up.
"Momo, you're finally awake!" Sun Like hugged Xia Mo into his arms, and a man's tears fell as soon as he said it, and even Xia Mo felt incredible.
"I just dreamed......" Xia Mo said in a deep voice, her dream was really real.
"What did you dream about? Did you dream of me?"
"In my dreams, I have you, and my mom and dad, they ...... Maybe you're here to pick me up!" Xia Mo said, her angry tone shocked Sun Like's heart, Xia Mo couldn't stand it anymore, and actually wanted to leave directly.
"Fool, I don't allow you to say such stupid things, you will live a long time, you said that you want to live with me for the rest of your life, but you are not allowed to go back. ”
Xia Mo stared at Sun Like with straight eyes, and suddenly burst into tears, lay down in Sun Like's arms, and said one word: "Okay." ”
Maybe it was when he was dying, sleeping had become Xia Mo's "favorite" thing, and he felt sleepy again after waking up for a while, and he had fallen asleep like a coma before he could talk to Sun Like, Sun Like knew everything, and he didn't mean to wake Xia Mo up.
walked out alone, wanting to cook for Xia Mo to wake up and eat together, but when he came in again, he saw Xia Mo sleeping there with nothing covered.
Distressed, he walked over, and after helping Xia Mo cover the quilt, he turned around and prepared to leave. However, at this time, a hand grabbed her, dragged him, and fell on the bed, Xia Mo was still so beautiful, but her pale face added a touch of weird beauty.
Sun Like struggled to leave, but Xia Mo suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Don't go, stay and spend the last moment with me." ”
Sun Like was stunned, thinking that the two of them would not have said such straightforward words before, but now Xia Mo actually said such things to him, which made Sun Like feel like a dream.
Sun Like nodded, gave up the struggle, and hugged Xia Mo into his arms again, and after a while, Sun Like said softly to Xia Mo: "You sleep, I will always accompany you and never leave." ”
"Good. Xia Mo obediently closed her eyes when she heard Sun Like's words, and she slowly put her hand in Sun Like's chest and stroked his solid chest. Sun Like wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
After a long time, Xia Mo really fell asleep, but Sun Li didn't know that this would be the last contact between the two people, and Xia Mo never woke up after falling asleep.
When Sun Like found that Xia Mo's body was cold, it was too late, Xia Mo was lying quietly in his arms, his hands still on his chest, as if he wanted to find warmth, and seemed to want to grab something.
After Sun Like found that Xia Mo's body had stiffened, he didn't say anything, nor did he cry out loud, he just hugged her like this, hugging her tighter and tighter, and in the end, two lines of hot tears fell silently.
"Momo...... Momo ......"
Sun Like kept repeating these two words, because he didn't know how to express his complicated feelings at this time, he handed Xia Mo's ashes to the dean's mother, because it was more like her home, and being with her family was the happiest.
Outside the welfare home, the dean's mother said goodbye to Sun Like.
"You...... Do you know everything?" The dean's mother spoke intermittently, her eyes were red and swollen, Sun Like knew that the dean's mother must be because Xia Mo was gone, so she ...... I just don't want to cry in front of Sun Like.
Sun Like didn't say anything, the dean's mother knew that Sun Li had acquiesced, and she was sad, and the dean's mother didn't say anything, she understood Sun Like's feelings for Xia Mo, Xia Mo didn't waste her efforts, which made the dean's mother very pleased.
After that, the dean's mother escaped from her arms and handed a yellowed envelope to Sun Like tremblingly, and tears fell down all of a sudden.
"Nick, you don't blame me, do you? I'm just ......"
"Dean, you don't have to say anything, I know, don't worry, I won't blame you, I will double the funds in the welfare home in the future, you don't have to worry about the children's problems." ”
Sun Like didn't let the dean's mother finish speaking, took the letter in the dean's mother's hand and didn't read it, Sun Like's slender and bony fingers swayed on the letter, and finally ...... Inch by inch, it was reduced to crumbs.
The dean's mother looked at it, she didn't know why, but she didn't dare to stop it, maybe it was okay, she still remembered the girl who came with Sun Like last time, she looked very similar to Xia Mo, and the relationship between the two of them was good, maybe she could pull Sun Like out of Xia Mo's abyss.
The dean's mother covered her mouth suddenly, is this the end?
Sun Li raised his hand, and the confetti was swayed between the heavens and the earth, one after another, as if the relationship between the two people had finally come to a conclusion, and it was also the end.
"Dean, in the future, Momo will be a part of this place, I think she stays here, she likes it here. After Sun Like finished saying this, he kept staring at the box containing Xia Mo's ashes.
