November 6, 2019, in the afternoon, cloudy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Leyuan drove his white Chevrolet on the way home from the institute, and he was only alone now, so he was not in a hurry on the way home. Recently, the institute has just taken over a national project, and it has been busy for three weeks, during which it has been living in the institute, and the home he settled in the suburbs has not returned, I am afraid that the home has fallen several layers of dust, Le Yuan thought.

The residence was a bit far from the institute, and it usually took him more than two hours to get there by a slow drive. But he just likes the feeling of driving on the road like this, especially when he drives from the Xingang Bridge and goes west all the way without a few cars, half of his mind is on the road, and half of his mind is on the sky.

The weather was fine this afternoon, and the wind coming in through the car window was not too big or small, just lifting the loose bangs on his forehead. He closed his eyes comfortably, raised his head slightly, and felt as much as he could the slightest breeze through the wilderness, as if he could still hear their whispers.

He had the steering wheel in his hand, not at all worried about accidents if he closed his eyes, the road he knew so well, so familiar that he thought he could drive all the way home without his eyes to see, let alone just close his eyes slightly.

However, fate does not tolerate a trace of carelessness, and he, who has always been known for his caution and caution in the institute, finally fell into his own carelessness. The left side of the car crashed into a large rock lying across the road, and then the whole body seemed to draw a quarter circle around the center of the large stone, and finally threw it into the river on the side of the road.

When Leyuan realized what had happened, the car had fallen into the river more than ten meters offshore, making a big splash. His first instinct was to open the door and get out of the car, but in an instant he decided to close the door and quickly rolled the window up.

The reason for this is that he can't swim and won't survive more than three minutes when he goes out now. The water had just flooded in a little, and the whole car was like a submarine floating on the surface, most of it was underwater, and only a little was exposed on it.

He leaned back in his seat and stared blankly at the dim light coming in through the window. He didn't call the emergency number, the place where he fell into the water was really far away from the city, and the time to salvage the car had to be counted, so it was really too late. He looked at the space in the car and estimated that the remaining air would probably last him half an hour, provided he didn't speak, of course.

Looking at the rippling water waves in the car window, suddenly many images passed through my mind, and some people had some things, like a slide, real but unreal. He suddenly grabbed his phone and rummaged through the phone book, feeling that he had a lot to do in the rest of his life.

The first number he dialed was one of his best brothers, and even though he hadn't seen each other for years, the word brother inevitably came to mind first. The phone was dialed but no one answered, he sighed silently, Xu Wei still couldn't answer the phone as before.

Then he was no longer entangled, and dialed another number, like Xu Wei, the three of them have known each other for more than ten years since high school. The phone was connected, and Zhang Xingeng's unusually lazy voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Oh, what are you calling your grandfather for, but you miss your grandfather?"

Le Yuan smiled knowingly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my father is dying, so I'll tell you in advance to let you burn more paper for your father." The other end of the phone smiled cheaply and was about to say something, but Leyuan said again: "I won't tell you, Dad still has something." Then he hung up the phone, leaving Zhang Xingeng confused on the phone.

After that, Leyuan dialed more than a dozen numbers, some people didn't receive it, but most of them passed, he jokingly said that he was going to die, others didn't believe it, and he didn't explain much. The air in the car has become thinner and thinner, and it is becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and there is not much time left for Leyuan.

In the end, he decided to call his parents, and since he was twenty-two years old, he has never called home since he quarreled with the second elder and ran away from home, and he has been working hard all these years, and he has always told himself in his heart that he can live well without them.

He has always been proud and unwilling to bow his head easily, and this has been strong for several years. It's just that every year I will send some money back, trying to prove to others or to myself that I am not unfilial.

The mother's voice was very excited, she hadn't changed her number in years, so she must know from the notes that it was her son who had been away from home for a few years.

After a sound on the other end of the phone, he didn't speak for a long time, Leyuan decided to speak first, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze out a sentence, "Is the family okay?" Even said yes, and it seemed like he was suddenly opened to the conversation, "The weather has started to get cooler recently, your father said two days ago that the weather has been sunny these days to find someone to lay the roof, it rained a few days ago, and the second floor is always leaking, and the house is not flooded." Your eldest sister went home yesterday, Yuqi also came back, she just went to junior high school this year and was admitted to the thirty-third middle school, your sister is happy now, this girl is also competitive, which makes people worry-free. ”

Leyuan didn't have a chance to speak at all, so he heard her say again, "Your second sister also came back some time ago, I heard that I quarreled with your second brother-in-law again, Tongtong came first, this girl is so tall now, she is still growing, I didn't expect her mother to be not very tall, she can grow." She is studying well, and she will go to junior high school next year, but she doesn't know where she can get in. I really hope to be admitted to Yuqi's school, and we don't have to worry about it. ”

Le Yuan knew that he had to interrupt her, otherwise there would really be no time, so he could only say, "Don't talk about it yet, Mom-" Before he finished speaking, he said, "Your dad will be back in a while, don't you talk to him?" Le Yuan could only lie to her, "I have something to do now, and I'll call you when I go back in the evening." He reluctantly hung up the phone.

He still hasn't made one last phone call, he has always kept her in his heart all these years, and he has never contacted her, but he silently saves every time she changes her contact information. Occasionally, I can hear about her from friends, but I never try to contact her, and I don't even dare to enter her space, for fear that she will find out her traces.

They used to be lovers, and that was a long, long time ago, long enough to turn a boy into a man, so long that the classmates who envied them back then have become children running all over the place. He suddenly remembered today's day, eleven years ago today, he used a text message to chase her down, and he was complacent about it. But things are wrong, and people can't bear to look back.

In the end, a nice female voice came from the other side of the phone, "The phone you dialed is busy", Le Yuan smiled bitterly, it seems that he has always been on her blacklist. After that, he opened his blog again, and even posted a status "The time to go is not far away!"

After doing all this, he leaned back in his chair and tried to unbutton his shirt, but he couldn't undo the buttons that he usually unbuttoned. Le Yuan gasped for breath, pulling his neckline hard, the tight collar strangled his neck to death, and the meridians on his neck became thicker and thicker.

He gasped heavily, as if he was about to drain the last shred of oxygen from the car, and as if he was about to pull another breath of oxygen out of his lungs. His eyes widened, his head raised with a hideous expression, and at last he fell heavily on the back of his chair, never to get up again.

The light outside the window never let in too much, and the inside of the car was quiet, except for Doraemon hanging in front of it as a hanging ornament swaying back and forth. The mobile phone lying in the passenger seat lit up at this time, showing the caller's name - Ziyu.

In the quiet car, only the old song from ten years ago kept echoing-

"The hope of that childhood is a time machine

I can be happy all the way without breathing

Bamboo dragonflies walked through the forest

Open any door to find you traveling with

The ...... of childhood"
