118.————
"Everyone made me forget about you."
In the wind and snow, Lu Man sat in front of You Xinnian's tomb, just like countless scenes yesterday when they had a long conversation face to face.
"Everyone made me forget about you." Lu Man said, "They all say that people always have to look forward, and you can't live in memories forever." Xiao Nian is gone, we all know that you are sad, but you need to find yourself and start again, so that Xiao Nian will go with peace of mind.
They know I'm sad? Do they know? They don't really know. Those who haven't experienced it will never understand. ”
You Xinnian's tears slipped quietly with Lu Man's words at some point, and she sat in front of the tombstone, as if she was face to face with Lu Man.
Lu Man took out a diamond ring from his pocket, stared at the ring with red and swollen eyes, and said to himself, "Do you remember this ring?" It's exactly the same as when I proposed to you on your 24th birthday more than five years ago. I bought three identical rings, you took planB, and this one is planC. How well do you say I know you? I knew you could do what you thought without listening to me at all, and it turned out to be true. ”
As if he had thought of something particularly beautiful, Lu Man burst into tears and laughed.
"I don't know if you're mad at me, and you didn't put it on in the end, and ...... Never get a chance to wear it again. Lu Man put the diamond ring on the tombstone, "But it belongs to you and will always belong to you." ”
The snow fell incessantly on the tombstones, and soon buried the ring. Lu Man lowered his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he sobbed lowly.
"I never felt like you had left me. Walking through familiar places, I can hear your voice, staying in familiar rooms, I can see your smile. You are waiting for me at the next intersection, and your qiē is still by my side, but I am not good enough, and I make you angry, and you don't want to see me.
I've kept all your stuff. The mug you put in my house, your key case, your clothes, your perfume...... I know you don't like messy things the most, and I've put them all in good place, waiting for you to come back and praise me. ”
Lu Man wanted to laugh, but before his smile unfolded, he couldn't help but burst into tears:
"I thought...... I will never have the courage to come to your graveyard in my life, I thought I would never have the courage to face the fact that you have left me in my life. The murderer hasn't been caught yet, so what face do I have to see you? But here I am.
It's been more than five years, and I'm coming to see you for the first time, will you blame me for making you lonely for so long? ”
Heavy snow passed through You Xinnian's body one after another, and she couldn't help sobbing uncontrollably.
"It was our shared birthday and our 10th year together. I always remember that the weather was very good, from the first moment I woke up in the morning and opened the curtains, the sun was abundant, the sky was blue and cloudy, I knew it was a good day to propose, and I knew that you would definitely agree to my proposal.
"You and I are very thoughtful people, even if we are blood relatives, even if we are of the same sex, but we don't think our love is anything special, we don't care about other people's eyes, we don't care about other people's gossip, we don't even need to ask for any blessings for our love, what to witness. When we love each other with all our hearts, that's the best contract. But I understand you, you always feel that someone is eyeing you, and you always feel that what belongs to you has no label. So I bought the ring, made an appointment with the person you cared about, and proposed to you in the presence of all my friends.
"I want to cut off all your worries, I want to give you peace of mind for the rest of my life, take care of you, and enjoy your unsparing love, so I will burn the rest of my life with you and go to the end of my life together.
"I used to think this was my life, my life was full of your name. But ......"
Lu Man wiped away his tears: "However, no one can predict how life will change, how could I have thought that you will never appear at the next intersection again." ”
Early summer 2011, June 7.
You Xinnian ended his birthday party early and told Lu Man that he wanted to go home.
"You want to go back?"
You Xinnian was also a little embarrassed: "I promised to go back today to celebrate my birthday with my family, and I will go to the fencing gym tomorrow morning." ”
Lu Man was very disappointed, the ring had been given away, and You Xinnian had also accepted it, but she didn't see her wearing it, and she was going to withdraw before the birthday party officially started...... Hey, what kind of temper is this eldest lady playing with? But since she has decided to respect her, after all, Xiao Nian is a filial child, and Lu Man also appreciates her very much.
Lu Man lowered his shoulders: "Okay, you've decided, go back." ”
Seeing that Lu Man seemed a little unhappy, You Xinian clipped her face and said, "Silently angry? Silently unhappy? Didn't we spend every year together? My mom was just discharged from the hospital last month and wanted to spend more time with her. She spoke. ”
"Understood. Go back. Lu Man was helpless and made a "please" action.
You Xinnian walked in the direction of the car, turning back three times in one step.
Lu Man waved goodbye to her, and with his other hand in his pocket, he kept fiddling with her planC.
Lu Man got in the car and was about to go back to rest early, when suddenly Jiang Zhengqing came over.
"Hey, congratulations, your proposal was successful." Jiang Zhengqing didn't fail to see what Lu Man called her here for today, and said very interestingly, "In this way, I won't be able to give up on you." Lu Man, are you so cruel? ”
It is not appropriate to say anything from Lu Man's position, she coerces her shoulders and pretends to be innocent.
"Mind if I get in the car and talk? Just the last few sentences. Jiang Zhengqing sighed, "Anyway, I have liked you for so many years, and I will say a few words from the bottom of my heart before being sentenced to death by you." When the sun rises tomorrow, I'll forget about you. There's no way you're going to like me in your life anyway. ”
Lu Man opened the door for her: "These words are really cruel enough." ”
Jiang Zhengqing sat in her car, was silent for a moment and then smiled: "I still want to play sensationalism, but I don't know what to say when I get in the car." Actually, it's a good thing for me to give up on you, and I'm relieved. ”
Lu Man leaned on the steering wheel and looked ahead.
"Let's reconcile." Jiang Zhengqing said, "Actually, I don't hate You Xinnian, she is better than me, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with her, I'm convinced." ”
Jiang Zhengqing said to Lu Man: "I wish you happiness. Help me relay it to her. ”
"Yes." Lu Man finally spoke.
Jiang Zhengqing left, Lu Man got out of the car, and still stayed at the dock, blowing the sea breeze.
Estimating that Miss You should be unable to help but send her a message, she went back to the car to get her mobile phone, and found that there was no battery. There are a lot of people tonight, and I don't know when there will be no electricity.
Lu Man drove home and charged his mobile phone first, took a shower and came out to take a look, You Xinnian really sent her WeChat.
"Do you like the gift I gave you?"
Lu Man replied: "Of course I like it, but next time, don't eat hard to give me a gift." ”
After replying on WeChat, Lu Man went to blow his hair, and he kept looking at his phone when he was blowing, but You Xinnian didn't reply.
I guess I was celebrating my birthday with my family, but I didn't see the message. Lu Man thought again, probably not, Xiao Nian is used to putting her mobile phone in her pocket, and she is very slow to reply to others, but she is very fast to reply. I haven't replied for so long, so I'm not angry.
After all, You Xinnian couldn't understand what Jiang Zhengqing appeared today, and he was so angry that he lost his ring. It's really a child, and his brain doesn't turn as soon as his temper comes up.
Lu Man's hair didn't dry before she went out again, and when she walked downstairs, her mother asked her, "Still going out so late?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Man replied casually.
"Where are you going? Looking for Xiao Nian again? ”
Lu Man didn't care.
Bai Wen's mouth was full of voices: "You children, one or two are not young, and you are still playing with children's tempers." It's just that the relationship is so noisy, what kind of marriage are you proposing......"
Lu Man immediately stopped and looked back at her mother, and Bai Wen didn't hesitate: "Okay...... Count me as talkative. You go early and come back early. ”
Lu Man drove to You's house, and Jiang Zhengqing, who had been secretly downstairs in Lu Man's house, suddenly saw her come out, and her eyes lit up.
What else is she doing at such a late hour?
Yes, I must have gone to find You Xinnian, and the marriage proposal just now is of course like glue.
Jiang Zhengqing slapped his face hard, screaming as he patted. It wasn't until she couldn't stand the pain that she stopped and silently followed.
Run by night to find your happiness! Let me be stupid again one last time, even if I look at your back.
I thought the road would be smooth, and I would return in about half an hour. After all, it's late, and no matter how lively G City is, everyone has to sleep. I didn't expect to encounter congestion unexpectedly. Lu Man sent a few more WeChat messages to You Xinian in the car, but still did not receive a reply.
An uneasy feeling slowly crept into her heart.
The road was finally cleared, Lu Man passed by a car that was smashed into scrap metal, the traffic police were busy exploring the site, and Lu Man accidentally caught a glimpse of a large pool of blood when he was about to retract his gaze.
Unable to contact You Xinian for a long time, Lu Man was even more worried, and couldn't help but speed up the car.
When I came to Junyue Dijing, everything was silent.
Lu Man lowered the window, and the doorman glanced at the license plate and let her in.
Lu Man parked the car at the door of You's house, got out of the car and rang the doorbell. After several clicks, no one came to open the door for her.
Strange, is the family all out?
Lu Man walked to the side and looked in from a distance through the crack in the wall, there was a bright light inside, people should be at home.
She was in such a hurry that she forgot to bring the key that You Xinnian gave her, so she had to continue to ring the doorbell.
As I pressed it, I suddenly smelled a strange smell. Lu Man frowned, what kind of smell is this? It seems to have floated out of the wanderer's house. Lu Man took a few steps back, and immediately saw a puff of smoke drifting into the night sky from the direction of Youjia's master bedroom.
Caught fire?!
Lu Man froze in place, the fire was raging, and in just a blink of an eye, half of the night sky had already been dyed red.
didn't expect it to catch fire, Lu Man's heart tightened, rang the doorbell hard, slammed the door, and still no one came to open the door for her.
She immediately called the fire alarm number, and after the call, she wanted to call the property security guard to help, but the whole Junyue Emperor View was so big, it would take her three or five minutes to drive out, and then turn back and find a way, I was afraid that it would be too late!
Lu Man made a quick decision and prepared to climb over the wall!
The walls of the tour house are very high, and there is an anti-theft layer on top of the wall. Lu Man has been exercising all year round and is very confident in his skills. And in a hurry, it burst out with unexpected power, and jumped to buckle the eaves decoration of the wall. She used to play rock climbing for a while, and although it was not professional, it did increase her arm strength. Lu Man stepped on the wall, and kicked hard to really make her catch the top of the wall! She grabbed this to maintain balance, and she used a lot of force, and her arm was directly cut by the sharp blade of the anti-theft layer, and the blood flowed on the spot.
Lu Man gritted his teeth and endured the pain, grabbed the only sharp blade that could be borrowed, and finally climbed to the top of the wall and crossed into the courtyard of Youjia.
At this time, tongues of fire had erupted from the master bedroom, reflecting Lu Man's face red.
She didn't care about the injury on her arm and tried to rush into the house, but to her surprise, all the doors and windows were locked.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Lu Man was so anxious that she searched all over the yard and only found a swimming pool net. She aimed the long handle of the fishing net at the glass door of the living room and smashed it down, the long handle broke instantly, and even her arm was sprained.
Lu Man was covered in blood, and the wound on his arm no longer felt pain. Seeing the flames spread all over the sky, she screamed into the house and shouted exhaustively: "Xiao Nian—Xiao Nian!" ”
Except for the roaring sound of flames, no one responded to her.
She was so anxious that she trembled, her eyes were bloodshot, but she couldn't do anything!
Lu Man kicked the hard door regardless of it, harder and harder, she even felt her leg bones shattered, but the extremely anxious emotion in her body continued to provide energy, making her hit the door again and again.
The door can't be slammed open, the window can't be broken, and the burning Youjia mansion is like a strong fortress, locking the people she loves the most inside. Lu Man could only watch as the flames engulfed most of the mansion.
There's nothing she can do, there's nothing she can do.
Lu Man was covered in injuries, standing in the courtyard of Youjia like a ghost, completely swallowed by despair for the first time in his life.
At this moment, Wu Xiuying returned.
"Miss Table! Why are you here?! Wu Xiuying hurriedly glanced at her with the key, and immediately went to the house to save people. Wu Xiuying also found that the doors and windows were locked, so she hurriedly took out the key to open the door and ran upstairs.
Lu Man quickly followed in and went upstairs together.
The corridor was full of smoke, and Wu Xiuying and Lu Man were so smoked that they coughed repeatedly.
When I ran to the second floor, I found that the fire was irreparable, and the master bedroom and You Xinnian's bedroom had disappeared in the fire.
Wu Xiuying dragged You Renxue out of the bathroom, and hurriedly retreated out before she had time to care about the others. Lu Man knows a lot about the structure of the You family, and she knows that You Xinnian's bedroom is right in front of her!
Lu Man was about to throw himself into the sea of fire with a slam stab, and suddenly his waist tightened and he was hugged back. She was injured and physically damaged, even if the manpower behind her was far inferior to her, she couldn't break free at this time.
"Are you crazy! You're going to die! Jiang Zhengqing dragged her to death, "Don't go!" Lu Man! It's too late! ”
The words "It's too late" cut Lu Man's mind, and she pushed Jiang Zhengqing away, regardless of the need to run into the fire.
Her lover is inside, how can she leave her lover.
If it weren't for the firefighters who arrived in time to forcibly stop Lu Man and pull her and Jiang Zhengqing back to the fire truck outside the house, I am afraid that more than the three of You family died in the fire that night.
"Go away—go away!"
Jiang Zhengqing had never seen such hysterical Lu Man, she was like an angry beast, trying to bite everyone who stopped her.
"Calm down! Lu Man! Lu Man! Jiang Zhengqing kept holding her, "It's useless for you to go, think about it, think about it carefully!" You can't die in vain, and You Xinnian won't want you to get hurt! Right! Right! You calm down! ”
Jiang Zhengqing's voice buzzed in her ears, and Lu Man was trapped in the fire truck for as if it had been a century for the fire to finally get smaller. She heard the firefighters say, "Three bodies were found, two women and one man. ”
Lu Man looked out of the car window and saw Wu Xiuying and the medical staff sending You Renxue to the ambulance, and You Randong, who had just rushed home, stood in the yard with a bewildered expression.
Two women and one man.
Lu Man wanted to go up to confirm the body, but he fell to the ground with one foot in the air and lost consciousness.
This coma is the hardest of the journeys.
Lu Man returned to the scene of the fire countless times in her dreams, no matter how hard she tried, she tried all her methods, and none of them could save You Xinnian.
She returned to the real world in tears.
Lu Chengzhong and Bai Wen sat on the edge of the hospital bed, and they were both relieved and distressed to see her wake up.
"Xiao Nian......" Lu Man couldn't care about the severe pain all over his body, and took Bai Wen's hand, "What about Xiao Nian?" How's Xiao Nian! Where is she! ”
Bai Wen's tears kept falling, Lu Man was stunned, she didn't believe this answer.
