chapter 13

Until noon, the person who came to pick her up did not appear.

After lunch, Zhou Jiyou sat on a large flat stone on the east side of the eaves.

The view is wide, and when you look up, you can see the curving mountain road.

She wasn't excited, she wasn't anxious. On the contrary, the mood is irritable and heavy.

Go home...... It's ridiculous, she has no home for a long time.

The sun was slanting to the west, and her feet were half in the shade, half in the sun.

Someone came over and sat beside her, with their heads slightly bowed, their faces calm and restrained.

She squinted at him, "Your sister is coming back, happy, right?" ”

He didn't speak, he didn't look at her, his head was always down.

She chuckled, but she didn't smile at all, and said, "Eh, I'm leaving, and we probably won't have a chance to meet again in the future, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, she felt that his whole body suddenly tensed, and the position of his temples was faintly bruised.

Patiently waited for two seconds, and before he could say a word, she had a heart attack like she was in a big traffic jam.

It's not fun to talk to yourself.

"I ......" Nearly a minute passed, he opened his mouth slightly, spat out a vague word, and stopped.

Zhou Jiyou was stunned and turned his head to stare at him.

He slowly clenched his fists where she couldn't see, his chin raised slightly, looked at the vast sky and the shadows of the trees, and muttered to himself, "We'll never meet again?" ”

The tone was too straight, and Zhou Jiyou listened to it as a declarative sentence. She frowned slightly, and her tone was forbearing: "I know, you don't have to repeat it." ”

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes were dark, and his voice was low and soft: "I hope you have a safe life." ”

Zhou Jiyou's heart was shocked: What?

The words stopped before he could ask, and that was what he wanted to say to her.

Looking at each other, he pursed his lips slightly, turned his eyes forward, widened his gaze, as if he had found something, and then, getting up and walking, stood under a tree, and pulled a leaf back.

He wiped his hand on the edge of the leaf, "I don't have a parting gift to give, can I send you a tune?" ”

He looked at her earnestly, waiting for her to reply.

Zhou Jiyou looked at the green leaf in his hand and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Blow with it?" ”

"Hmm."

Her brief question, like a subtle hint, he could see her curiosity, and knew that she wanted to hear.

He straightened the thin leaf and slipped it into his mouth.

The melody is sonatous, low and tactful, complete and coherent.

The strength of the airflow controls the height of the zhì sound, which is completely technical. Zhou Jiyou watched his chest rise and fall, he controlled it so easily, and his lung capacity was really strong.

He played a song, a very old song, and she couldn't remember the name for a while.

In the afternoon when the cicadas are singing, the wind is in the treetops, and the young man looks calm and clear like a painting.

After the song, he held the leaf in his mouth and didn't take it out of his mouth for a long time. As if in a state of mind, the whole person did not move.

Zhou Jiyou raised his neck to look, and his silent eyes were in a distant state of emptiness.

She waved her hand in front of him, "Eh, what song are you playing?" ”

He returned to his soul, took the leaf down, lowered his head, and did not speak.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't say it, Zhou Jiyou looked ahead and smiled flatly: "I've seen it for a long time." ”

The leaves clenched in his palms, and he lifted the corners of his eyes and looked at her quietly. A beautiful and delicate face, the best-looking girl he has ever seen in his life, and the most passive girl he has ever been with.

Zhou Jiyou suddenly stood up, walked past him, and said to him: "You wait." ”

Shen Fei watched her turn right and disappear, and after a while, she reappeared again, with two more blank pieces of paper in her hand, much larger than the homework book he had used, and the paper was thicker, it was a sketch paper used for painting, which he had seen in school.

"Now." She stood in front of him and handed it to him, "Just exchange it as a courtesy." ”

The paper was spread out in front of his eyes, a sketch of a character, his skills were not proficient enough, his face lines were a little too much, and his demeanor was a little rigid, but he could still recognize it at a glance, it was Grandma Shen, and even the shriveled child at the corner of his mouth was portrayed extremely realistically.

The second picture at the bottom is him. doesn't smile, his mouth is lightly pursed, and Mu Mu is dumbfounded.

His eyes suddenly raised, and Zhou Jiyou stood with his arms crossed, and the sunlight was jumping lightly on his silky hair.

"I'm having fun drawing, if you think you've painted you ugly, give it back to me." She held out her hand.

He shook his head lightly: "It's not ugly. I...... I love it. Finally, he added, "Grandma must like it too." ”

The corners of Zhou Jiyou's mouth curved, and he was about to speak, when a crisp shout came from afar-

"Brother-!"

Country, girl.

Zhou Jiyou and Shen Fei were stunned at the same time.

Shen Xin, dressed in a light blue summer sportswear and a pair of brand-new sneakers, stepped on the dirt slope and ran into the yard.

She was followed by two men, walking in the middle of the middle of the early thirties, with a Chinese face, sweating profusely; Pacing leisurely behind him was a handsome young man, tall and slow-moving, although his hair was so hot that his hair was sweaty, but he did not look wolf at all.

Grandma Shen had already walked out of the house when she heard the sound, and the three of them stood under the eaves and looked at each other with a smile, Grandma Shen frowned and said, "Where did you get the clothes?" ”

Shen Xin felt that grandma was so stupid to ask, and said with a smile: "Of course I bought it." The corner of his eye silently swept towards Zhou Jiyou, who was not far away.

Grandma Shen said: "Of course I know that I bought it, who bought it?" Did you spend other people's money? ”

Shen Xin stuck out his tongue, deflated his mouth, and said half of it was hidden: "My cousin took me to buy it." ”

At the same time as their family reunited, Zhou Jiyou also met Shen Ke's eyes.

Shen Ke stood in front of the mud floor of the loofah vine with his hands in his pockets, his tall and long-legged figure was like a white sculpture that attracted attention under the sun.

The two looked at each other from a distance, Zhou Jiyou hugged his arms, tilted his head slightly, and looked narrow: "You are not afraid of the sun." ”

As soon as the voice came out with a little tactful and teasing, the man who was talking to Grandma Shen, as well as the ancestors and grandchildren of the Shen family, all turned their heads to look over.

Shen Fei put his hands behind his back, holding Zhou Jiyou's two sketches, and saw the young and handsome man standing in the courtyard smiling at the corners of his mouth, and slowly opened his arms towards Zhou Jiyou.

Zhou Jiyou did not move, and bluntly refused: "Don't, you must be covered with sweat." ”

Shen Ke smiled angrily, put his hand back in his trouser pocket, and commented as he walked towards her: "It's not cute at all." ”

Over there, Grandma Shen asked Shen Xin in a low voice, "Is it her brother?" ”

Shen Fei's eyes slowly turned around, and he also looked at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin flattened his mouth and said, "It's not my brother, it's my uncle." ”

Grandma Shen said "oh": "Strange young." ”

Shen Xin's eyelashes trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he endured it again. She raised her eyes and looked over there, Shen Ke and Zhou Jiyou stood face to face, the little uncle who didn't say much to her, with that girl, his face was full of spoiling, and his smile not only became more, but also very real. It's not like facing her, it's basically perfunctory.

Grandma Shen warmly beckoned Shen Ke and the man who claimed to be the driver to sit down in the hall and drink water.

Zhou Jiyou's eyes glanced at him and didn't say a word.

Shen Ke accompanied her to the room to get her luggage, the uneven ground, the old furniture, all the qiē made him feel a faint pain in his heart.

"You sleep in this bed?" He walked over and lifted the rough sheets and quilts, and saw the door panels and stones underneath......

Zhou Jiyou ignored him, his eyes swept outside the house and saw that no one came in, slapped his hand away, relaid the sheets and quilts, and glanced at him when he straightened his waist: "It's rude." ”

Shen Ke: "......"

She spread out her suitcase, took out the bundle of eggs that were safely wrapped, and hid them in the corner of the bed, covering them with a neatly folded quilt.

Shen Ke couldn't figure out the situation and said, "What are you doing?" ”

She didn't say anything, opened her wallet and took out all the cash, pressed it under the quilt, thought about it, turned her head and asked, "Did you bring any money?" ”

I didn't understand it just now, but now if I don't understand it, I'll be a fool, Shen Ke hung his eyelids and said, "I haven't seen you for a month, and you've changed to charity?" ”

Zhou Jiyou didn't talk nonsense with him, and spread his hands, "Give it to me." ”

Outside the house, they could hear everything they were saying here, Shen Ke knew that the sound insulation was poor, and lowered his head and lowered his voice in her ear: "The old man must have given it a long time ago, what are you worried about." ”

Zhou Jiyou said: "They didn't ask for it. ”

Shen Ke was stunned, and his eyes were suspicious: "What did they say?" ”

"Hmm."

"You believe it?"

Zhou Jiyou looked up at him, and Shen Ke had an expression of "Are you stupid".

She pursed her lips slightly, without thinking: "I believe it." ”

Shen Ke: "......"

Zhou Jiyou's tone was calm: "Shen Ke, they are very good to me." ”

If she says it's good, then it's really good. Shen Ke's heart moved, and he didn't bother to question the irrelevant things anymore, so he took out a short wallet from his trouser pocket and opened it.

He rarely carries cash with him, and if it weren't for the inconvenience of swiping cards in townships, he wouldn't have put a penny in his wallet.

"The family was lucky, I not only brought money, but also a lot." He left five roads to spare, and the rest was given to her.

"Thank you." Zhou Jiyou put one of them in the position where he hid the money before.

Shen Ke crossed his arms and stroked his chin, his eyes narrowed, and said, "Xiaoyou, don't you feel anything?" ”

Zhou Jiyou's eyes were indifferently asking: What?

Shen Ke analyzed her sharply: "You said before that there is never a shortage of tragedies in this world, you yourself are a person struggling to survive in tragedy, and you can't take extra feelings to pity others, after all, you don't even pity yourself." Now, it seems that this is not the case, right? ”

Zhou Jiyou's heart suddenly slammed, his eyebrows raised by half a point, and he said indifferently: "So what." ”

Shen Ke smiled, indeed, so what.

It's not a person from the same world, and if you are fated to meet it, you can help it, so what?

After Zhou Jiyou left, Shen Fei sat back alone on the big stone under the eaves of the east side. The shade is no longer there, and the whole person is inevitably exposed to the scorching sun, and in less than a moment, the whole body is wet with sweat.

He held up a leaf between his lips and played the same tune over and over again.

The melody is heavy, not melodious, not high-pitched, like flowing water and smoke, unable to reverberate in the air.

His eyes gradually became a little hot, and the tone he blew began to tremble, rising and falling, not making notes, and finally stopping with an imperceptible sigh.

On the winding mountain path, Shen Ke and Zhou Jiyou held a parasol together, and as they walked, they suddenly heard her soft "huh".

He looked at her with a biased eye: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Jiyou said endlessly: "I remember what song it is." ”

……

……

I bless you forever

Don't ask

Don't say

A qiē is all in the words

This moment

Let's spend it quietly

Don't look back

Don't look back

When I sang this song

I'm afraid, I'm afraid

Tears slipped down gently

……

……
