When Lin Ruoxi left home, it was Bao Xiaodie who sent her sister-in-law to the potholed road outside the village to take the bus.

On the way there, it was raining lightly, and I don't know if they forgot to bring rain gear or didn't plan to take an umbrella at all, but they didn't realize that the rain had soaked their clothes; They didn't say a word to each other, just walked silently, but they both hoped in their hearts that each other would learn to be strong in the future life path and not collapse in the ups and downs.

They waited silently in front of the stop sign for more than twenty minutes, when Bao Xiaodie suddenly saw a bus with green paint staggering in the distance.

The separation was imminent, and Bao Xiaodie couldn't control her sad tears anymore, and hugged her sister-in-law and cried bitterly.

The only person closest to her is about to leave, how can she not be sad and sad?

Lin Ruoxi wanted to comfort her, but she cried before she could speak.

They hugged each other tightly, and no one wanted to be separated, but public opinion was raging, and Lin Ruoxi couldn't bear such a big pressure, so she chose to escape.

The rain is still dripping, dense and overwhelming; Two unknown rows of trees on the side of the road stood gloomy and deserted, silently enduring the wanton invasion of the cold rain.

The bus quickly stopped in front of the stop sign, and Lin Ruoxi quickly pushed Bao Xiaodie away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her wet sleeves, and then got on the bus with a trolley suitcase.

"Sister-in-law, call me when you get to your destination."

Bao Xiaodie's back with tears in her eyes instructed.

Lin Ruoxi poked her head out of the car window, nodded to Fluttershy, and said, "Sister, take care, you can go back!" ”

Bao Xiaodie did not walk away immediately, but stood alone in front of the stop sign, waving to her sister-in-law, she also waved at her sister-in-law.

With a constant wave of his hand, the car went farther and farther, and the sister-in-law went farther and farther, until it completely disappeared into the vast rain curtain.

Bao Xiaodie bit her pale lip and wiped her eyes with her damp sleeve before walking in the direction of home.

The rain fell on the vast and boundless land, and it was like a wisp, and not only did it not show any signs of stopping, but it became heavier and heavier.

Bao Xiaodie's figure was shrouded in a rain curtain, looking so lonely, so helpless, so pitiful.

She looked dazed and walked slowly.

At this time, a 60-year-old farmer wearing rain gear rode a power tricycle straight in front of her, she did not or turned a blind eye, when the tricycle approached her, the farmer screamed and hurriedly braked, but it was too late, the tricycle crashed into Bao Xiaodie's body, knocking her into a "pedal"

Take a few steps back and fall to the ground.

The coachman was taken aback, quickly pulled over to the side of the road, got down and asked, "Girl, are you alright?" ”

Bao Xiaodie snorted a few times and barely got up, only to see that her clothes, pants and hair behind her back were covered in mud, and she looked like a wolf.

The coachman took two steps forward and said worriedly, "Girl, are you hurt?" Why don't I take you to the hospital? ”

Bao shook her head and limped away, not saying a word to blame the driver; She just felt pain in her lower abdomen and thighs, and she also had pain in her buttocks, but it wasn't very strict.

The pain in her heart was ten times worse than this bruise and fall, what was this flesh wound?

When the coachman saw Bao Xiaodie leave without a sound, he let out a long sigh of relief, and subconsciously touched his scalp, thinking to himself that this girl is a fool?

Bao Xiaodie still walked slowly, I don't know how long, her own house was gone.

She first saw the row of lush poplars in front of her house, and then her own house, which was shrouded in an empty drizzle, and looked extremely desolate and lonely; This home, which was once full of laughter and joy, was shattered by the cruel and ruthless reality in an instant, dead and dead, divorced, and imprisoned, and now only a deserted house and her are left hanging from each other.

Recalling the tragic changes in her family, she couldn't help crying again.

In the cry, she was like her mother and brother, they were standing in front of the gate waving to her, she was overjoyed, hurriedly suppressed her tears, and called "brother" respectively

And "Mom"

and then head straight for them.

When she ran to the gate and found that her brother and mother were gone, she immediately realized that it was a hallucination.

The big red "囍" cut out of glitter paper on the gate

The words are so dazzling that Bao Xiaodie feels that this happy word is really out of place with the family atmosphere, so she tears it off, crumples it into a ball and throws it in the trash.

When Bao Xiaodie sent her sister-in-law out, the door was irrelevant, and she couldn't remember whether she deliberately didn't close it or forgot to close it.

But now it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she will live alone from now on.

Before the family did not change, she was a carefree butterfly, stumbling in the warm garden of the family all day long, with her brother's pet, her mother's love, I don't know what sadness is, but from now on, she will become an aspen standing in the wind and rain, no one to cook for you when you are hungry, no one to give you clothes to wear when you are cold, and you can only rely on yourself.

She walked into the hall, and her mother's portrait hung in the middle of the opposite wall, and the photo showed her using a pair of butterflies, as if to say: Child, mother can't protect you in the future, and you can only rely on yourself.

Fluttershy's mom's crutches are lying on the concrete floor in the corner, and she remembers her mother's usual crutches, and says that her mom is gone, but her things should be kept safe, as a kind of remembrance of the deceased, so she picks them up and puts them on the bedside table in her mother's bedroom.

Her mother's bed, wardrobe and mirror, looked at things for a while, and then went into her brother's room.

My brother's room is beautifully furnished, because I am newly married, the quilts, pillows and wardrobes in the room are all brand new, and there is a faint smell of paint and freshness.

On the head of the bed, there is a wedding photo of my brother and sister-in-law, I saw the brother in the photo hugging his sister-in-law, they are smiling brightly, like bright sunshine, and they look affectionate.

Next to the head of the bed is a black-lacquered bookcase, which contains some books, books and books on food.

Most of them are books.

Bao Xiaodie has been to this room countless times, and she mainly comes to chat with her brother.

She still remembers that her brother liked to read Xu Zhimo's poem the most when he was studying, the poem "Farewell Kangqiao", I don't know how many times my brother read it in front of her, she remembered that once her brother read it emotionally, "Quietly I left, just as I came quietly, I waved my sleeves and didn't take away a cloud"

At that time, she was very puzzled by the meaning of this poem, and tilted her head and said why did the poet come and go quietly, did she do something wrong, if she did, she would definitely come and go publicly, causing her brother to laugh.

I saw that the big red quilt on the bed was folded into a rectangle, but it was not neatly folded, and Bao Xiaodie estimated that her sister-in-law was depressed and didn't have much heart to clean up the room, so it became a little messy.

Fluttershy knows that her brother is a clean-loving person, and that when he was at home, the room was definitely clean and tidy, but now in this room, there is a thin layer of dust on the floor, and it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and her brother's new sneakers, one lying behind the door, the other under the bed, and a few of his clothes are also messily placed on the bedside table.

She wishfully thought that my brother would come back one day, and that I would have to clean up his room, and that when he came back, he would look like he wanted it to be as soon as he entered the room, and he must be in a happy mood.

So, she picked up her brother's shoes, put them neatly under the bed, folded his brother's clothes, put them neatly in the closet, and folded the quilt into "tofu blocks"

In the middle of the bed, she used a basin to get some water to wipe the dust off the bookcase, and then found a broom to clean the house.

After cleaning her brother's room, she walked outside the gate and saw that the rain in the sky had stopped, as if the sun was about to rise.

Although it's noon, Fluttershy isn't hungry.

In fact, since the death of her mother and the later sentencing of her brother to prison, her appetite has always been poor, sometimes eating only one meal a day or even skipping meals.

She thought of her mother, who had not been to her grave since her burial, and decided to go to her grave now.

She knew that her mother loved to eat pastries and apples when she was alive, so she went out into the street to prepare these two foods, then bought a stack of dead coins and went in a car.

She sat in a car for more than an hour, then walked another stretch of concrete road to the cemetery where her mother was buried.

As she walks towards her mother's burial, she is about to reach her mother's grave when a woman in her forties squats down in front of her mother's grave to burn paper.

How could she burn paper for my mother?

Fluttershy had never seen this person before, and it seemed that she had never heard Mei Zhifang talk about such a distant relative, so she walked over with a stomach full of questions and asked, "Who are you?" How can I burn paper for my mother? ”

The woman seemed taken aback, turned her head and stammered, "I'm sorry, I'm mistaken." ”

With that, he stood up.

Bao Xiaodie's panicked appearance became more and more confused, there is no need to panic like this if the object of the memorial is wrong, besides, this tombstone is clearly engraved with "Mei Zhifang"

How can you be mistaken?

What a weird thing!

Fluttershy points to the tombstone and asks, "How could you be mistaken?" ”

"I don't know how to read, oops, I'm sorry, I'm leaving."

The woman hurried away.

After the woman had walked about ten meters, she turned her head to look at Fluttershy, and when she saw that Fluttershy was staring at her, she quickly turned her head away and walked away.

Bao Xiaodie is getting farther and farther away, and the mystery in her heart can't be solved, does she really not know how to read?

Or is it just self-justification?
