Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Buried Place
Maybe W Town has been protected by the warm current for too long, and when the cold wave came, everyone was not very accustomed to such a changing weather. The cold wind howled outside the door, blowing down the flowers that bloomed on the branches, and the scattered ground was littered with broken petals and bones. People who love flowers always feel a little distressed and reluctant, so they swept up these petals and buried them in the soil against the cold wind. The temperature plummeted, and many people caught a cold because of it, and everyone wanted to stay at home and not go out for a single step.
"Are you sure you want to go out?" Ah Yu asked Ling Wanwan again, the weather outside is really not very good, if it is just a strong wind, it is acceptable, but looking at this gloomy sky, it should be raining soon. Winter rain is no joke.
"Hmm. I'm still going to go out. Ling Wan tightened his neckline and tidied up the clothes on his body again.
"Then I'll go drive. You are waiting for me at the door. "There is a car in the courtyard of the hotel, but it is not often used, and it is only used when you go to the market to buy goods.
Ling Wanwan put on his bag and waited for Ah Yu at the door.
"Drip, drip, drip. The sound of a truck came from not far away, and Ah Yu greeted Ling Wanwan through the window, signaling her to hurry up. Ling Wanwan saw Ayu's gesture and set off from the hotel. As soon as she stepped out of the door of the hotel, she felt the change in the weather in W Town. The cold wind blew on her face, like a sharp knife, her face was cut painfully, and the wind outside was very strong, Ling Wanwan almost couldn't stand on her feet, and she had to stumble a few steps to the ground. She steadied herself, then quickly ran to the side of the van against the wind, opened the door, and sat inside.
"You're alright. The weather is really not very good. Ah Yu looked at Ling Wanwan worriedly, not knowing why Ling Wanwan had to go out now.
Ling Wanwan shook the broken leaves on his body, and then nodded to Ah Yu. She was blown by the wind just now, although it was a little cold, but her mind was also a lot clearer.
"Where are you going?" Ah Yu looked in the rearview mirror to make sure there were no obstacles. But he didn't hear Ling Wanwan's response, thinking she hadn't heard.
"Where are you going?" he turned his head to ask Ling Wanwan. At this time, Ling Wanwan didn't know when he took out a photo, and Ah Yu couldn't see what was on it, it seemed to be a scan, vague.
"Where are you going?" Ah Yu asked again, but Ling Wanwan didn't seem to hear him talking, just looked at the photo in his hand in a daze, Ah Yu didn't ask any more, just waited for Ling Wanwan to speak, for a while there was no sound in the car, only the wind outside the window could be heard, the wind knocked on the window, as if to break this window, and then occupy all the space.
"North Hill Cemetery. Ling Wanwan said in a low voice.
"Go to the North Hill Cemetery. She looked up at Ah Yu.
When Ah Yu heard the name of this place, he was shocked. It turns out that she is going to pay tribute to the deceased. In fact, no one managed the Beishan Cemetery a few years ago, and only some people who still have relatives and friends buried there will go to visit the graves to pay respects.
Ah Yu didn't reply, he didn't know how to ask Ling Wanwan what was going on, the person in Beishan Cemetery should be a very important person to her.
Neither of them spoke along the way, Ah Yu drove the car intently, while Ling Wanwan looked intently at the photo in her hand, her eyes were far and deep, as if she wanted to return to the time she wanted to keep through that small photo. Ah Yu didn't observe Ling Wanwan's situation through the mirror, and felt that Ling Wanwan looked like she was sad now, trapped in an endless abyss, and she was the only one. But Ling Wanwan never shed tears, she just looked at the photo, but Ah Yu remembered the words that the teacher used to say when she was a child, that it is better to be sad than to die. The heart is dead, and there is nothing left.
Beishan Cemetery is located in the westernmost part of W Town, and it is lonely in the most remote place, surrounded only by lush pines and cypresses. It took about two hours for their car to arrive. And at this time there was a light rain in the sky.
"I'll go myself. Ling Wanwan looked up and said to Ah Yu.
Ah Yu nodded, he knew that Ling Wanwan probably didn't want him to know who was buried here, and he didn't want him to get involved in her grief.
"Be careful yourself and come back as soon as possible. Ah Yu took out an umbrella from the box and handed it to her.
"Good. Ling Wanwan nodded, then opened the car door and got out of the car. A cold wind with an icy chill instantly poured into the car, causing Ah Yu to shiver.
Ling Wanwan held up the umbrella alone, and then walked up the steps step by step. Ah Yu looked at Ling Wanwan's lonely figure in the car, in the cold wind, in the fluttering cold rain, he looked extremely thin and thin.
501… 502… 503..504… 519… Ling Wanwan looked down at the cold numbers, she didn't want to look up, she didn't want to see the names engraved on the black tombstones, and she didn't look like she saw the inscriptions. She stopped, stopping in the place of the person she had in mind. She didn't look up, she just stood, quietly and looked at the cold number, 520. I love you. She loved that person so much, but in the end she left her. The three numbers were like sharp swords, pulled out of their scabbards, and then plunged into Ling Wanwan's heart with a cold light. Blood seeped out of her wounds, dripping and dripping, and then seeped into the dirt and disappeared without a trace, only the dark red soil could prove that her blood had stayed here.
"I'm coming. Do you miss me?" Ling Wanwan seemed to have mustered up enough courage, raised her head, and looked at the tombstone standing quietly, the tombstone was so small, so narrow, but in her eyes it weighed a thousand catties, ten thousand catties.
Ling Wanwan squatted down, she saw some dust and rain on the tombstone, and hurriedly wiped it with her own clothes, trying to clean up all the stains on the tombstone.
"It's raining. Won't you be cold? Would you like to put an umbrella on you? So that it won't be cold. Ling Wanwan wiped the stains on the tombstone with his clothes, and at the same time took off the umbrella on his head and covered the tombstone. At this time, the rain was a little beaten, and the cold rain ran down Ling's curly hair and cheeks, but she didn't care at all. She pressed her face against the tombstone, as if to warm the tombstone, and as if to feel the temperature of the tombstone.
"It won't be cold in a while. Good no good. She said softly, then continued, "Actually, I wanted to see you a long time ago." But I don't dare to come, I'm afraid I'll collapse when I see you, don't you like me like this? It's been a long time, but I know you remember me, don't you? I often dream about the way you look, the way you grow up, the way you run, the way you eat......"
"What colors do you like? Boys probably like blue and gray. But the ones I used to prepare for you were all pink. ”
"Are you here alone? I know Aunt Qi Qi has been coming to see you. But recently she's been out, so she hasn't seen you. ”
"Are you happy to see me?" Ling Wanwan leaned her head against the tombstone, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself, as if the tombstone could hear what she said.
Her tears had been suppressed for too long, mixed with the cold rain and flowing down, messing around, and it was impossible to tell the difference between tears and rain. "I'm so happy. ”
Ah Yu, who was still in the car, couldn't see Ling Wanwan's shadow, but saw her walk up the steps, and then turned right into it. He looked at the weather outside, and now the weather was getting worse and worse, and the sky was getting more and more overcast, as if it was about to be weighed down.
If she doesn't come back in another ten minutes, she's going to look for her. Ah Yu made up his mind and looked into the distance with concern. The pines and cypresses in the distance swayed slightly in the cold wind, quietly watching the appearance of the entire cemetery.
Ling Wanwan still rested her head on the tombstone, the rain had soaked her clothes, but she didn't move, quietly enjoying the time together.
"I don't know when I'll see you next time. You're going to be good, you know?"
Her consciousness was a little blurry, but she still didn't want to move her body, as if no matter what happened in heaven and earth, as long as she stayed here, nothing mattered.
"It's not that my mother doesn't want you......." Tears flowed out of Ling Wanwan's eyes, and then fell on the tombstone.
"Bend?" Ayu ran over with an umbrella.
He waited in the car for another ten minutes, and finally came out to find Ling Wanwan. But when he saw Ling Wanwan, she had fallen in front of a tombstone, drenched, and the umbrella was on top of that tombstone.
Ah Yu helped Ling Wanwan up, and then called a few times, but she didn't respond, Ah Yu had to pick up Ling Wanwan on his back and prepare to go down. Before leaving, he accidentally glanced at the tombstone, and then froze.
Paid by... Mother... Ling bends.
This tombstone is actually her child?
Ah Yu felt a little incredulous, but he immediately came back to his senses, now was not the time to think about this, he hurriedly carried Ling Wan on his back. Now what she needs most is a doctor.
"Mom. Mom. I'm here!"
Ling Wanwan seemed to hear someone calling her. She looked around, but didn't see anyone there.
"Mommy, I'm here!" she looked again, and saw a cute little boy hobbling towards her. The little boy looked at Ling Wanwan with wide eyes and a grin.
"Mom-Mom-" he muttered something in his mouth, as if someone was teaching him how to speak. Suddenly, the little kid fell. Ling Wanwan wanted to run over and hug him, but no matter how she ran, the little boy was right in front of her, but she would never touch him.
"Mom—I hurt so much. The little boy cried bitterly.
"Mom!"
"My child!" Ling Wanwan suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the top of the sandalwood-colored bed. She was in her hotel room. No little boys, no mothers, nothing.
Why, it's all hallucinations, it's all fake. Can you wait for mom and don't leave.
"Are you awake?" Ah Yu heard the voice and rushed in.
Ling Wanwan felt that his whole body was weak, and his headache seemed to be about to explode. Her face was pale, and Ling Wanwan used a little strength to sit up.
"Don't move. The doctor has prescribed you medicine. I'll just take my medicine later. I asked my sister-in-law to help you change your clothes. Ah Yu saw that Ling Wanwan's face was still very pale, and said to her with some worry.
Ling Wanwan looked at Ah Yu, and then said, "Thank you." ”
Ah Yu scratched his head and went out again to bring porridge back. "You eat a little. You've been asleep for a long time. ”
"Good. Ling Wanwan took the porridge, then scooped a spoonful with a spoon and drank it.
Ah Yu stood by and looked at Ling Wanwan, he knew that he wanted to keep this secret in his heart.
"Actually, it's my child buried in the North Hill Cemetery. Ling Wanwan raised her head and told the secret that had been pressing in her heart for a long time.
