CHAPTER XXIV
Three days have passed.
In the past three days, Zhou Yiyi deliberately did not recall what Zhou Yi said that night. However, even if she is no longer willing to think about it and tries her best to ignore it, the problem is still a problem, and the day of parting will still come.
Life doesn't stop moving forward because of anyone, and in the blink of an eye, it's the last night before parting.
It's not that I haven't experienced parting, my aunt died, my father died, and Zhou Yiyi experienced it at a young age. The partings that can be made are always passive, one-sided, non-selectable.
This time is different.
Zhou Yi gave her the opportunity to make her own decisions. Let her be like an adult and choose what her future life will be like.
Do you continue to stay in a small hut in Zhoujia Village and eat alone and be lonely to death? Or do you go out of this small world and walk around in the wider world outside?
was treated solemnly like this for the first time, and Zhou Yiyi was moved but also entangled.
On the one hand, it is a place where she has lived for a long time, although she has suffered a cold eye and tasted a cold reception, but there is also a little warmth and memories that are worth cherishing properly. On the one hand, he is reluctant to give up the person in front of him, and yearns for the outside world in his mouth. I want to keep him around, I want to go out and have a look. Look at the sky out there as big as he says it is, see if there are as many trees out there as he says it is, and see if the things out there are as delicious as he says they are?
Zhou Yiyi struggled alone.
Life didn't give her a chance to practice how to get along with people, and it didn't teach her to speak up and discuss difficult problems with others.
Life has taught her only countless days and nights, and she has her own thoughts and troubles in her heart, silently digesting them, and finally accepting them silently.
So poor Zhou Yiyi could only turn her back and go to bed early on this quiet summer night, trying to pretend to be asleep to avoid this problem that had plagued her for a few days or even gave her a few more days to make a choice.
The night of the heavenly steps was as cool as water, flowing quietly on the stone in front of the door of the Zhou family's hut.
Zhou Yi stood in front of the door with his hands down, the moonlight poured down from behind him, and a slender and good-looking figure lay on the stone blue ground. He looked at the only person in the room, looked at the slender back, listened to the breathing that could not hide the nervousness, and stood with his backlight, unable to see what was hidden under his eyes.
The fingers of the figure on the ground moved rapidly, like an ancient fingering technique. But for a moment, it stopped again.
Zhou Yi walked in.
The man on the bed did not move, and if he stood across from her, he could see that under his closed eyes, his eyes were rolling uneasily.
Zhou Yiyi didn't dare to make a sound at all, and she didn't dare to move at all. Even if she also knew that being a turtle with a shrunken head like this and trying to avoid the problem could not really avoid it, but there was really no way but to try her luck and try to delay it for a while.
But Zhou Yi didn't give her a chance.
"I'm leaving tomorrow in a little while. ”
The hands in the quilt tightened.
"Heaven and earth are common, everyone has a life, the name plate has its own fixed number, and your life is ...... I can't tell. ”
Zhou Yiyi didn't understand.
There was a rustling sound behind him, and he could detect someone approaching.
"This wolf tooth is from a thousand-year-old snow wolf, and you wear it with a rope and hang it on your chest to ward off evil spirits. ”
Zhou Yiyi clenched her hands tightly, still not daring to open her eyes when they were closed.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and after a long, long time, when Zhou Yiyi could only hear her own heartbeat, she finally slowly opened her eyes.
She was the only one in the room, and when Zhou Yiyi turned around, she saw a small crescent-colored object next to the old pillow.
Zhou Yi said that this is called a wolf's tooth, which is the tooth of a thousand-year-old snow wolf, which can ward off evil spirits.
Zhou Yiyi picked up the wolf tooth and put it in the palm of his hand.
The palms of the hands are warm, and the wolf's teeth are also warm.
Suddenly, the sound of blowing leaves sounded in the courtyard again.
Zhou Yiyi looked towards the door blankly, but after a while, many fireflies gradually flew in the yard.
It's Anling.
Whose spirit is peace?
Zhou Yiyi looked down at the wolf tooth in her hand, feeling a little sad and wanted to cry.
I don't know if it's the effect of the requiem, Zhou Yiyi finally fell asleep unconsciously. By the time she woke up, it was already three days old.
Zhou Yiyi opened his eyes blankly, and when he woke up, he sat up suddenly, and as soon as he raised his eyes, the scorching sun and golden sun unceremoniously shone straight through all kinds of emptiness.
Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Yiyi spread her hands, and there was nothing left in her palms. As soon as her heart tightened, she suddenly panicked and sweated, and looked around the bed, but she didn't see anything, and when she turned around again, something seemed to shake in her chest with her movements.
Zhou Yiyi lowered her head, and her heart finally settled.
Got it.
But......
Zhou Yiyi reached out and grabbed the wolf's teeth, followed the wolf's teeth and touched the black rope tied around her neck through the wolf's teeth, and frowned a little suspiciously.
Obviously, when Zhou Yi gave it to her last night, she was still bare, with one wolf tooth and nothing else, why did she wake up in the morning with an extra rope?
Zhou Yiyi thought about it, and there was only one possibility - that is, Zhou Yi personally wore a rope for it later, and then put it around her neck.
Thinking like this, Zhou Yiyi began to look around for Zhou Yilai again.
The room was empty, and you could see the floating dust glowing with golden sunlight, but you just couldn't find Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yiyi jumped out of bed and ran out without even having time to take care of her hair.
The room, the kitchen, the living room, the yard, I can't find Zhou Yi anywhere.
Zhou Yiyi's heart tightened, could he have ...... Gone?
Don't say hello anymore?
It seems that there is a sudden lack of a mouth in my heart, and something strange but familiar is slowly popping up little by little.
Zhou Yiyi wrinkled her face and slowly squatted down holding the old tree in the yard.
Good...... It's uncomfortable, why is it so uncomfortable...... It seems that there is a hole in my heart, and the wind is blowing out, and it is empty, and I want to cry......
There was a "pop" sound, and water droplets fell into the soil.
Immediately after that, one drop, two drops, three drops, four drops...... More and more droplets of water are falling.
Zhou Yiyi tightly grabbed the clothes in front of her heart, sobbing and trying not to make a sound.
Haven't you long been accustomed to being alone? Haven't you seen many partings? You have to be strong, don't cry! Zhou Yiyi! Be strong! Don't cry! But ...... It's so uncomfortable......
One hand falls gently above the head.
"Fool, I'm not gone yet, crying for what. ”
Such a light sentence easily broke the last heart wall that Zhou Yiyi had built for herself for more than ten years almost instantly.
She threw herself into Zhou Yi's arms with a "wow", hugged his waist tightly, as if holding the last life-saving straw in the world, crying and crying: "I am reluctant to let you go! Zhou Yi! I am reluctant to let you go! Don't leave me! I will go with you! Can you take me with you? I am willing to go with you!"
Zhou Yi held his two hands blankly, not knowing where to put them for a while. After listening to the sincere confession of the person in his arms, he suddenly couldn't help laughing softly.
She was still so small, her head had just reached his chest, and she hugged him regardless of it, crying and talking, snot and tears rubbed against him. But he could still laugh, Zhou Yi himself felt amazing.
The little girl is so cautious and cautious, she has built thick walls for her heart, people outside can't get in, she doesn't come out, everything is hidden in her heart, hidden deeply, just because she is afraid of troublesome others and disturb others.
It must be extremely rare to be able to hold Zhou Yi and cry and say such a thing today.
The hand fell gently, again and again, gently comforting the person in his arms.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I won't leave you, I'll take you with me, let's go out together. ”
