Chapter 88: Confusion (Part II)
As far as the eye could see, except for the vast mountains, there was white snow, Baili Tong tried to take a step forward, leaned around, and immediately fell into the snow nest.
The snow in the mountains was heavier than outside, and it persisted, and the snow barely reached the thighs of a person, let alone him, even if he was a young man with sharp legs, he might not be able to pass smoothly.
When the driver saw him crooked, he immediately ran over and pulled him out of the snowdrift, "Sir, there is really no way to go here, if you want to go over, you can only let people find a way to clear it, otherwise, who knows what is buried under the snow, in case you step on the air, it's not a joke." ”
Just kidding, the big boss comes back more than a slap in a year, and if he comes out with him once, he will hurt someone, so it's strange that the eldest lady doesn't skin him alive.
Baili Tong shook off the driver's hand and tried a few more, but the snow was too big for him to pass on his own, so he had to give up in the end.
"Go call, call someone, whatever method you use, I'll have to go in tomorrow. ”
The driver got the order and immediately took out his mobile phone to notify people to come, while Baili Tong stood alone in the wind and snow, as if he wanted to see through the white curtain.
It takes four or five hours to drive from Baili's villa to this remote area at the earliest, and the snow is falling tightly, so when a large number of people arrive, the sky is already bright.
The sun hid behind the thick clouds and did not dare to show its face, but even so, the full snow white still pierced people's eyes.
Xiao Fei came with the car, she changed into a thick ski suit, but the makeup on her face did not have time to change, and there was still bright lip gloss on the swollen corners of her mouth.
She coldly watched Baili Tong standing outside the car and directing those people to drive a way out of the snowdrift, and when Baili Tong met her eyes, her gaze did not evade in the slightest.
Baili Tong looked at that delicate face, and couldn't tell what it was like.
I never thought that she would hide it from herself. She's always had big ideas, and that's been it since she was a kid. has been wronged, and never complains to him, she must settle it with her own hands, if she can't complete it for a while, she will be like a hibernating snake, waiting until she can give the other party a blow to death.
He took a fancy to her at the beginning, not only because of her face, but also because of her temperament, but now that she used her heart and eye on him, he realized that the little girl who spoke sweetly and always liked to laugh, she had actually grown up a long time ago, and her growth rate far exceeded his estimates.
For other things, it doesn't matter if she turns the world upside down, he is a person who wants to be presumptuous. But that person is the only one...... She can't touch it, no one can touch it...... No one!
A dozen or so people shoveled the snow non-stop, but by the time they arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already almost noon.
It had been snowing for nearly a week, and I don't know when it stopped, only when the wind blew through the treetops, some snow slag would fall.
Baili Tong has been served and changed into heavy winter clothes, his health is really not good, after staying in the cold wind for a long time, his lungs are stinging, and even his breathing has become Ling Chi.
The people on the left and right saw that his face was pale and tried to help him, but he waved his hand and stubbornly walked towards the entrance of the village with his cane.
Baili Tong is a little selfish, he hasn't seen Xu Mingfei for too long, and he doesn't want her to see him at first sight, which is the appearance of decay, although his body has deteriorated to a certain extent, but this bit of vanity, he still can't let go.
Xu Mingfei, Xu Mingfei.
Just thinking about this name can make his whole body hot, Baili Tong's steps are a little staggering, but the steps are very big, as if he can't wait to finish this distance of thousands of meters in a few steps.
There used to be a wooden board at the entrance of the village, and the name of the village was engraved on the board, but later due to disrepair, this wooden board was slowly eroded by wind and rain, and the handwriting on it can no longer be seen.
Standing at the village sign, Baili Tong could already see some dilapidated houses far and near, most of these houses were darkened, and there was no smoke rising, as if no one lived in them. He couldn't make up his mind for a while, he didn't know which one to knock on, and asked Xu Mingfei's whereabouts.
At this moment, a loud suona sound came from the back of the village, followed by the noisy sound of drum music.
When Baili Tong heard that voice, his face suddenly turned blue.
That kind of music......
His body shook slightly, and then he strode in the direction where the sound came from, turning a few low walls covered in snow, and Baili Tong stopped abruptly.
No wonder there is no one in the village, it turns out that everyone gathers at the end of the village to do white things.
In the city, no one does this kind of funeral sacrifice anymore, but in the village, the tradition of returning the village is still very intact, the villagers are dressed in plain clothes, white scarves are tied on their heads, and several teenagers carry paper money in their arms, walking and waving, the procession moves slowly, and from the procession, there is a low cry.
Baili Tong didn't care what they were doing, he only had one thought in his heart now, he wanted to step forward and stop one and ask them where Xu Mingfei was, but when he walked not far from the team and saw the portrait held by one of the young men, he was stunned.
That photo...... That picture......
No...... No...... How can it be......
The woman in the photo, smiling like a flower, is exactly what he loves her the most, she always likes to tilt her head like this and smile softly, and when she laughs, her face is pale and light.
But now......
"Mingfei...... No...... Ming Fei ...... "Baili Tong staggered over, pushed away a few teenagers in front of the team, and was about to grab the photo, the villagers were first stunned by his actions, and then someone reflected it, and immediately shouted, "What are you going to do? Who are you? Why are you robbing my teacher's photo!!"
The one who spoke was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who looked like a tiger with a tiger's head, and his eyes were red from crying. He angrily pushed Baili Tong, and Baili Tong's feet slipped and he fell into the snowdrift.
Baili Tong opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound, his chest seemed to have a big hole, the wind and snow blew in from there, and his heart was blown out of temperature, he didn't feel pain, just cold, cold to the bone.
The young man was about to step forward, but his arm was grabbed, and a little girl in a soap suit blocked Baili Tong behind him, "Brother, don't hit him, I recognize him! Teacher Xu's diary has a picture of him!!" After she finished speaking, she turned to Baili Tong and said, "Why did you just come ?!! send you a letter, and you didn't reply!! I called and said I didn't recognize him! Why are your hearts so ruthless? What is the use of you coming now?! Teacher Xu...... Teacher Xu......"
As she spoke, tears flowed from her eyes. The boy smacked fiercely, "Niuzi, don't talk nonsense with him, these city people have a bad conscience! Let's go, don't miss the hour, let Teacher Xu go unsteadily." ”
Baili Tong sat on the ground, stunned as the team continued to move forward, he stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but his fingertips were nothing but the cold air.
Until the coffin, covered with snow, slowly passed in front of him, he suddenly bent down as if he had been stabbed.
The fishy sweetness in the mouth gushes out, leaving a little red plum in the white snow.
Ming Fei ...... Xu Mingfei......
In heaven and earth, this person can no longer be found.
*
In the dream, it was like walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, little Xu Mingfei followed him timidly, she pulled the corner of his clothes and asked him, "Tong, when are you going to take me home?"
When Baili Tong woke up again, he had already returned to the old house of the Baili family.
There was a whispered conversation in the room, and when Xiao Fei saw him open his eyes, he walked straight to his bed, "I arranged tomorrow's plane to send you back to Switzerland, you are in very bad health." ”
"Get out. He opened his mouth lowly, feeling that it was a waste to say one more word to her.
Xiao Fei listened and smiled silently. "Let me go? Have you forgotten who brought me back in the first place? As the saying goes, it is easy to invite the Buddha and send the Buddha hard, I will not leave here, now I have the final say. ”
"What are you, you're just an orphan girl I picked up. Baili Tong was furious, and his chest rose and fell violently.
"Yes, you're right. It's just that it was more than ten years ago. It's different now. Xiao Fei smiled, "Do you think it was because of me that Xu Mingfei died? Why don't you ask yourself, why did she leave in the first place? She has been away for so many years, if she really wants you to find her, how can she wait until today? Don't look at me like that, I will also say that you forced her to death, you know it yourself, you have done good deeds all these years, just to pay for the sins of the year, right? Tong, I didn't leave her in the hands of those kidnappers back then. ”
Her tone was flat, as if she was saying a very ordinary thing, but when Baili Tong heard it in her ears, it was like a symphony of gold and iron.
It's been a long, long time, and no one has dared to mention it to him.
He wanted to drink angrily, but he felt like a boulder was pressed on his chest, and his mouth was full of fishy gas.
"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, you have today, it's completely self-inflicted. I didn't want to say that, but you're going too far. Tong, do you think she will want to see you? When she is terminally ill and her beauty is gone, will she want to see the person she loved and hated back then? Don't be stupid. You and I both know that it can't be. She'd rather walk clean than touch you again. ”
She has a pair of glass eyes, as if she can see through everything. Just like Xu Mingfei back then. It's just that Xu Mingfei can see everything in the world clearly, but he can't see through people's hearts.
It is precisely because he can't see through it that he is injured to the point that he is completely injured.
Baili Tong fell down in despair and didn't say a word.
*
Until he died, Baili Tong never saw Xu Mingfei again.
When he was dying, he was accompanied by the girl he raised with his own hands and wanted to pinch to death with his own hands.
He gave the girl a name, but not her last name.
When his breathing stopped, he suddenly remembered that a long time ago, someone had told him that this situation could be recalled, but it was already a mistake at that time.
It's just that at that time......
It turns out that not every separation can meet again, and not every mistake has a chance to be corrected.
I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.
