Madame has been tensing her body, after hearing the other party's words, she nodded stiffly, there is no way to see the last side of her brother, what Madam can do now is to help him put on a stick of incense.

Zhou Shan's wife led the three guests to a bedroom next to the living room, although it was daylight outside and the sun was shining, the lighting in this bedroom was very poor, and there was hardly a trace of light that could penetrate it.

Madame didn't know how she had reached the bedroom, but she felt a darkness before her, and it took a few seconds for her to make out the furnishings in the room.

A wooden bed, a wardrobe against the wall, and a half-height desk, and nothing more, on which a red candle was lit, and by the faint light of the candle Madame saw a black-and-white photograph and a black spiritual seat beside it.

Compared with the appearance of childhood memories, Mrs. found that Zhou Shan was indeed much older, his cheekbones protruded from the side of his cheeks, his mouth also appeared a kind of depression unique to the elderly, most of the hair on his temples was white, and the wrinkles on his forehead were especially obvious when he laughed.

Mrs. finally saw her brother again, but this way of meeting was not what she wanted, she had a lot of things to say to her brother, and even considered whether to tell him about her brain cancer, and now all the words can only be silently hidden in her heart.

Zhou Shan's wife gave Mrs. three sticks of incense, and when she put on the incense, Lin Yu and the driver took the initiative to retreat behind Mrs.

Seeing Zhou Shan again was his wife's greatest wish before her death, but she didn't expect to find Zhou Shan's location with great difficulty, but she found that he had already taken the first step. Madame should regret it very much in her heart, regret that she didn't come to find her old friend earlier, if you can advance the time by a year, maybe the two of you can sit together and drink tea and catch up on the old days, and talk about those unforgettable times back then.

After the lady made a gesture, she inserted the three sticks of incense in front of Zhou Shan's spiritual seat, and took a closer look at the black and white photo before following Zhou Shan's wife out of the room.

Lin Yu deliberately observed Madame's expression, and what made him feel strange was that Madame was not as painful as he imagined, on the contrary, on the surface, Madame's expression was very calm, and it seemed that she was just saying goodbye to an ordinary old friend.

"You haven't seen each other for a long time," Zhou Shan's wife sat down on the bamboo chair again, and she found that the guests who came today were all very face-to-face, even when her husband was alive, so she asked in the direction of Madame.

Madame nodded politely and replied softly, "I haven't seen each other for decades, and we used to play together when we were kids. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Shan's wife's eyes lit up, "Then do you recognize a girl named Yingzi?"

Hearing her nickname come out of her brother's wife's mouth, Mrs.'s heartbeat instantly leaked a beat, but she still replied quickly, "I know her, what's the matter, did Zhou Shan mention this person to you?"

"There really is such a person, I thought he was deliberately lying to me," Zhou Shan's wife showed a kind smile, "When we were with each other, the first time we met, he told me that he had a girl named Yingzi in his heart, and that was the most beautiful and kind girl he had ever seen." ”

Madame felt something pierce her heart, and she did not dare to turn her head to look at the other person's eyes, but stared vigorously at the teacup in her hand. And Zhou Shan's wife was still taking care of herself, "I thought this person was too strange at the time, how could someone talk like this when he was dealing with someone, but later I came into contact more and more, and I found that he was actually very honest and reliable, and he didn't have any tricks, he was a person worthy of trust, and after a period of time, he got married with the consent of his parents." ”

Speaking of the past love experience, Zhou Shan's wife still had a happy look on her face, "The two of us got married, and he did become a good husband and father, but sometimes when he was drunk, he would actually call me Yingzi." I was angry at the time, and when he woke up, I interrogated him about the relationship between him and Yingzi. He told me that he and Yingzi grew up as childhood sweethearts, and in fact, he had already liked Yingzi at a very early age, but Yingzi seemed to have always treated him as an older brother. Later, he mustered up the courage and kissed Yingzi on the face, but Yingzi avoided him for a long time because of this incident, and finally moved away from the village without even saying hello. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shan's wife herself felt a little funny, "I only knew at that time that my husband was such an emotional person, but the Yingzi he liked was just his unrequited love, if the girl was interesting to him, how could he leave without saying a word, sister, are you right?"

Madame's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and it wasn't until now that she knew that her brother had long liked her, no wonder he had to wait for him to go home with him every time he got out of school, and when he heard the rumors that he was being bullied, he knocked out the other party's front teeth at once, and even when they met for the first time, they sent the grass carp caught from the river to her house.

Seeing that the guest didn't answer, Zhou Shan's wife continued, "I persuaded him to forget the girl named Yingzi, people don't like you at all, otherwise why didn't you come back once after leaving for so long, and didn't even send a letter back?" I don't know if he listened to my words, anyway, later his son and daughter came to the county seat, saying that they wanted to take us over to live together, and he still had to stay in that village, saying that he was afraid that Yingzi would not find him when he came back, and I was so angry that I quarreled with him several times, and finally he finally agreed to move over. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shan's wife sighed, "Now that I think about it, if I had relied on him at that time, that Yingzi would not have come back anyway, and let him continue to live in the mountain village and still have a thought, maybe, he wouldn't have gone so fast..."

Madame's eyes were already moist, and she tried desperately to hold back her tears from falling, but she was already crying in her heart. Not only is she sad now, but she also has more regrets, regretting why she didn't tell her brother her heart when she left the village, and even more regretting why she didn't think of going back to that village after she was successful in business, because there was still someone waiting for her there.

The afternoon on the dam, and the night of the fireflies, are unforgettable for Mrs., and even more so for Zhou Shan, but once some people miss it, it will be forever...
