Chapter 259: Meeting Around the Corner
Chapter 259: Meeting at the Corner
There were bursts of thunder, lightning streaked across the sky, and after a while, the raindrops of beans hit Li Fenglan's face and body.
Li Fenglan hurriedly grabbed large and small shopping bags and ran to the side of the road to stop a taxi, the car whizzed by, but none of them stopped.
The rain came very quickly, pouring down, in an instant, Li Fenglan's whole body was drenched, she treated those shopping bags as treasures, holding them in her arms to protect them, everything in them was Gu Yuanshan's heart, how could she be willing to let the rain destroy them.
Wind and rain, Li Fenglan was wet all over her body, shivering from the cold, and the rain hit her eyes so hard that she couldn't open them, but she was reluctant to reach out to wipe them, afraid that as soon as she let go, the shopping bag in her arms would fall to the ground.
Under the washing of the rain, Li Fenglan's mind gradually became clearer, thinking back to Gu Yuanshan's resentful appearance when he decided to leave, and the sentence he left behind, his heart ached, all of this was more like the scene when Shi Xuanwei left.
On that day, the sky was also thundering and thundering, and it was pouring rain. Li Fenglan and Shi Xuanwei stood face to face in the heavy rain, Shi Xuanwei said: "Don't send me any more money in the future, I can support myself, and in the future, I won't come back!"
After finishing speaking, Shi Xuanwei left without looking back. Li Fenglan stood alone in the rain, unable to tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.
Li Fenglan and Shi Xuanwei are inextricably linked. The two of them are neighbors, the two are the same age, and they grew up together. When Li Fenglan's mother gave birth to her, she died in childbirth, and Shi Xuanwei's mother disliked the poverty of the family and ran away with other men. The circumstances of the two families are extremely similar, both are men living with their babies.
Li Fenglan and Shi Xuanwei's father is an iron buddy, often go into the mountains together, chop wood and burn charcoal, and sell it in the market to make money.
When they were thirteen years old, the fathers went into the mountains again and never returned, and the villagers said that they had been swept away by a mudslide and had been swept away by the flood cement slurry, and since then, the two children have been relatives to each other.
After stumbling through junior high school, Li Fenglan dropped out of school to farm at home, raised poultry and livestock, went up the mountain to dig herbs, and sold them for money for Shi Xuanwei to study in high school.
At the age of nearly twenty, he has already understood the hazy emotions, Li Fenglan reluctantly sent Shi Xuanwei away, looking forward to his return from school, however, in the summer vacation of Shi Xuanwei's second year of university, he returned to the mountains, stayed only for two days, and rushed back to school in a hurry.
Before leaving, Shi Xuanwei said goodbye to Li Fenglan, asking her not to send him any more money, he could support himself, and said that he would not come back in the future.
The spiritual pillar that had always supported Li Fenglan collapsed, and her world was dark from then on, and she knew very well that it was useless to have Shi Xuanwei in her heart, because he had no place for her in his heart.
Many years later, Li Fenglan realized that at the beginning, it was just her wishful thinking that she had something to do with Shi Xuanwei, in fact, they just grew up together.
Shi Xuanwei may only regard Li Fenglan as his sister, but later, for the sake of his future and in order to completely get rid of the mountains in the poor and remote mountains, he became an irrelevant stranger. The things of the world, who can say clearly, since Shi Xuanwei left, Li Fenglan has hated him with a lot of hatred, many years have passed, she thought that she had forgotten him completely, who would have thought that after drinking, not only did she think of him, but also talked nonsense in front of Gu Yuanshan.
Li Fenglan was embarrassed and had no face to see Gu Yuanshan again, but in this strange city where she was unfamiliar with her life, except for him, there was no one she knew, and no one to rely on, so she could only go back first with a cheeky face.
Li Fenglan thought to herself: I should explain clearly to Gu Yuanshan, if he still can't forgive me, then I will go back to the countryside and continue to be my farmer, guarding that one acre and two cents of land!
The car was still whistling by, the radial splash of water flew on Li Fenglan's clothes, looking at the lights from far and near, Li Fenglan crossed her heart and ran to the middle of the road tremblingly.
Squeak โ
After a sharp braking sound, the car slid for a few more meters before coming to a stop. The driver poked his head out angrily and scolded: "Are you sick?
Li Fenglan ignored the driver's abuse, pulled the car door, dragged her wet body into the car, and suddenly accumulated a puddle of water under her feet.
"What are you doing?" the driver was blinded by Li Fenglan's demeanor and glared at her suspiciously.
Li Fenglan shivered, her teeth chattered, and said, "Of course it's - in a car - you're not a taxi - isn't it?"
"You don't have long eyes, there's someone sitting in the car!" Listening to the driver's unkind words, before Li Fenglan could look back, a man's voice came from behind him, he said: "Master, it's raining, you can bring this girl on!"
Li Fenglan's heart was shocked, and she wondered: Why is this voice so familiar?
She turned her head suddenly, and the moment she saw the man's face, the whole person froze, and the man sitting in the back row was actually Shi Xuanwei.
Shi Xuanwei also saw Li Fenglan's face covered with rain clearly, but he didn't dare to confirm it, and blurted out: "Li Fenglan?"
Li Fenglan came back to her senses, opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, Shi Xuanwei reached out and grabbed her arm, and said, "Master, drive!"
The car started slowly, and Li Fenglan's heart was like a constantly swinging wiper, turbulent. She scolded to herself: Bad fate!
Li Fenglan couldn't understand what God meant by arranging Shi Xuanwei's inopportune appearance at such a time and on such an occasion?
The little wild duck in the past suddenly turned into a white swan, which made Shi Xuanwei's heart surge, and he always felt that it was a dream. Li Fenglan's outfit couldn't help but make Shi Xuanwei suspicious in his heart: What exactly is she doing in Jindu? The clothes on her body are very expensive, and the shopping bags in her arms are all famous brands.
The driver asked, "Girl, where are you going?"
Li Fenglan said in a low voice: "The city government annex." โ
"The city government annex?" the driver repeated, and turned his head to glance at Li Fenglan, thinking: Which leader's mistress must this woman be!
Shi Xuanwei heard the clue from the driver's tone, he sneered in his heart, and thought: Sure enough, who lives in the city government's courtyard?
Li Fenglan turned her head to look out the window, although the rain covered the glass and she couldn't see anything, she was still stunned and refused to withdraw her gaze. Her heart was in turmoil, but she didn't expect that after a few years, she would see each other again, but it was on such a day when God was crying, everything seemed to happen yesterday.
Shi Xuanwei's heart was very conflicted, now Li Fenglan is no longer the village girl in the mountain col, she has been reborn! At the beginning, he was so resolute, why did he feel a little strange in his heart at this moment.
When he was in high school, Shi Xuanwei knew that Li Fenglan had affection for him, and he was frugal, but he left all the good things to him.
At that time, he was studying in the county town, and he only went back once a month, Li Fenglan would always cook some delicious food and wait for him to go back to eat, and when he returned to school, he would have a large bag of Zhang Luo for him to take to school; she bought him new clothes every year, but she was very harsh on herself, and for several years, she was not even willing to buy herself a pair of socks.
Li Fenglan was kind to him, Shi Xuanwei remembered in his heart, if he hadn't been admitted to college and stayed in the mountains, he would definitely marry her, even if she was just a little wild duck at that time. He never told her, in fact, he had her in his heartโ
When the car drove to the gate of the city government, the doorman poked his head out and asked, "Can you enter?"
Li Fenglan said to the driver: "Master, I'll get off here." โ
Li Fenglan hurriedly rummaged through the shopping bag to find the cloth bag she brought when she came to the door, but she didn't find it, she said to the driver embarrassedly: "Master, I don't have any money on me, you can get it tomorrow morning, okay?"
"How's that going to happen? Or drive the car in, and you take the money for me." "It's raining, the road is slippery when it's dark, it's not easy to drive, and the driver doesn't want to waste his hard-earned money.
"Master, I'll pay for the money, you let her go. Shi Xuanwei took out the money and handed it to the driver, and he wanted the driver to drive the car in, so that he could find out which man Li Fenglan was 'cheating' with.
"Master, you wait. Li Fenglan didn't buy Shi Xuanwei's account at all, she threw her things in the car, opened the door and got out of the car, walked to the doorman, and asked, "Master, do you remember me?"
The doorman looked her up and down, pointed at her suspiciously, and muttered, "You areโ"
"Have you forgotten? I--I asked you for directions in the morning. Li Fenglan's body couldn't help but tremble in the cold wind.
"Oh, it's you, of course I know, you go out to buy vegetables every day!" The doorman stared at Li Fenglan in surprise, feeling so strange, when he went out in the morning, he still looked like a dirty man, and when he came back in the evening, he changed.
"Master, I forgot to bring the money, can you lend me the fare, and I will pay you back when I buy vegetables tomorrow morning?" Li Fenglan was also forced to go to Liangshan and had to make this decision.
"What's not to do, take care of yourself every day, how much do you need?" the doorman generously agreed.
"Thirty. The doorman took out the money from his personal pocket, carefully took out three pieces of ten yuan, and handed them to Li Fenglan.
Li Fenglan smiled at him and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, I'll pay you back tomorrow!"
When Li Fenglan handed the money to the driver, the driver and Shi Xuanwei were stunned, she was actually quite familiar with the old man of the doorman, so it was not just one or two trips.
Li Fenglan was holding a bunch of shopping bags and was about to enter the community gate, Shi Xuanwei hurriedly got out of the car, grabbed her, and then turned to the driver and said, "Master, you wait for me for a few minutes!"
"What are you doing, let go!" Li Fenglan glared at Shi Xuanwei angrily, she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"Feng Lan, how can I find you?" Shi Xuanwei leaned over and asked loudly.
"What are you looking for me, I don't know you!" Li Fenglan struggled, trying to break free from Shi Xuanwei's hand.
The more Li Fenglan struggled, the more Shi Xuanwei grabbed tightly, and Li Fenglan roared angrily: "Let go, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that the signs were wrong, the doorman shouted at Shi Xuanwei: "Young man, this is not the place for you to make trouble! You don't take a look, what kind of place is this, if you don't leave, I will call the security guard!"
Shi Xuanwei listened to the doorman's words, let go of his hand in a daze, and watched Li Fenglan walk into the gate and disappear into the rain.
