Chapter 37: Bracelets, Elegy for Youth!
In the most beautiful time
Noon in the shadows of the trees
A string of willow skill bracelets
Skewered into the sweetest misses
That's a twig by the river
There are traces of swallow clipping
The sweet river flows
Slender aquatic plants caressing
There are also red-beaked waterfowl
Lightly imprinted on the red lips
I'm under the Asuka Tower
Look for the teenager next door
We have joined hands with the riverside
Pick the tender branches
I also stroked the relief
Magical Animal Paradise
……
A long poem called "Bird Tower, Willow Branch Bracelet", a blogger named "Qiu Yan", vividly and delicately described his own and the little brother next door playing in the Bird Tower, weaving the willow branch bracelet together.
"Look up her account immediately, look up her IP address, lock her location... We must find her as soon as possible!" the ecstatic old man clapped his hands and commanded his men.
The bus suddenly became busy, and a few people immediately came in, they wore uniform black suits, and quickly brought in a few computers from outside, and they began to be busy, some were checking information, some were adjusting equipment, and they looked well-trained, not like employees of a research institute at all.
Zhiqiu carefully observed these people, he felt more and more the seriousness of the matter, maybe it was his own unintentional discovery, he found what this group of people and even this country had been looking for, he became more and more firm in his inference, he used the greatest meaning that his eyes could express to Ziyun, and asked Ziyun not to act rashly.
After a while, the sound of the car starting sounded, and several cars whirred past and walked away. In the bus, a temporary calm was restored. The old man did not speak, but sat there with his eyes closed. After waiting for a while, the old man's mobile phone rang, and he opened his eyes with a "brush" and quickly turned on the phone.
"You go to a few people, invite people over, it's better to use the excuse of friendly communication, we must not let her know our true intentions, otherwise it will be very difficult. The old man said "um" a few times on the phone and began to give instructions.
Ziyun felt a little breathless, every good news from his opponent was a torment for them, the pain of waiting, and even more so than the torment of no result. At this time, Zhiqiu's hand also felt like a pain, he tried his best to endure the pain, and did not make a sound, but the tight skin on his face, the wrinkled forehead, and the sweat on his head were all in his eyes.
"Are you alright?", she asked with a look in her eyes.
"I can still hold on, we have to stop them!" Zhiqiu replied with a look in his eyes. The next moment, Zhiqiu's action stunned her.
In her sight, she saw that Zhiqiu bit off the gauze on the freshly bandaged finger with her teeth, revealing the half-cut finger, and then painted something on the bus seat!
At this moment, a loud car horn was heard outside, and the blinding headlights came in, and then the sound of brakes was heard, and a small car stopped next to the bus.
"Xiao Nei, let the two of them go up!" Two people came over immediately, no matter how Zhiqiu and Ziyun struggled, they directly carried the two of them, carried them to the second floor of the bus, and then tied the two to the seats, and someone brought a roll of tape to seal the mouths of the two.
After a while, there was a conversation below.
"Little sister, we invite you to come over today, it's such a thing, we need to trouble you, my grandmother died 50 years ago, and later, after many inquiries, we found out that she was buried in this city!"
"We are studying at night, and you suddenly brought me here just to let me listen to your story?" A very gentle girl's voice, although not loud, but very penetrating.
"My grandfather has been looking for her for 50 years, and he has been looking for her ashes!" Xiao Ni's words showed a little sadness.
"But I'm neither a civil affairs department nor a funeral officer, I'm just a student, how can I know where your grandmother is buried!" the little girl was visibly unhappy to talk about the subject.
"She is the most beloved woman in my life, and in order to marry me, she resolutely chose to be with me despite the opposition of her family.
At that time, we had nothing, and we rented a small house of less than 20 square meters in a strange city.
Every day when I went out to earn money, she was gluing matchboxes at home, and our days were very difficult, but she never complained.
One day, as soon as I left the house, I was taken away by a group of people, because our factory owed money, and we also suffered from the seedlings.
A month later, I returned home to find that the house we had rented was in ruins, and she didn't know where she had gone.
I searched a lot of places, and I heard that he had been brought to this city, so I inquired in this city, looking for even the slightest news of her..."
It was still the old man, telling a story in a low tone, and as he was talking, he heard someone crying below, it was the girl, and it was already infected by this tragic story.
"We have been looking for her ashes, and later, after many inquiries, some people said that she was buried in the Bird Tower, but we searched every corner of the city, and we didn't find the Bird Tower!" the old man spoke in a slow tone.
"The Bird Tower, it's a sacred place, how can you bury people's ashes?" the girl murmured.
"Little sister, we have read your blog and seen the poems you wrote, it is very touching, we think you must know where the Bird Tower is, so it is very difficult for you to come over, please help us!"
Listening to this, Ziyun frowned, and she couldn't help but hold the bus seat with her feet. Zhiqiu also carried it with his feet, but they were tied up very tightly and could only make a faint sound.
"Little sister, can you help us find my grandma?" Xiao Ni's pleading voice carried a little crying.
"Okay, I'll take you there!" The girl finally agreed, "Huh" suddenly heard the girl surprised again, "The Bird Tower is a mysterious place, there are only birds, no elephants!" Zhiqiu heard this, immediately stopped all movements, and motioned to Ziyun to calm down, and the two continued to listen to the conversation below.
"Yes, yes, that's the bird's tower, how can there be an elephant," Xiao Ni hurriedly said, "Little sister, let's go now, my grandfather is waiting for his hair to be gray, you help us find grandma's ashes, our family is grateful to you!"
"I've been away from school for so long, I have to talk to my teachers and roommates, wait a minute, I'll give them a call!" the girl said with some embarrassment.
"Little sister, there is no signal in this place, don't worry, I told them before I came out just now, saying that you are a guest at my house, and you will go back in a while, they will not worry. Xiao Ni explained to the girl seriously.
"Well," the girl seemed to have made a big decision, "well, I'll take you to the Bird Tower!" she exclaimed.
