Chapter 12: Untying the Knot (Revised)
The two of them quietly took a few more steps into the depths of the bamboo forest, and their voices suddenly stopped.
After being quiet for a while, I heard the woman's voice low, and said softly, "No matter what, thank you for helping me deliver the message, I am giving me this now, he naturally doesn't want to see me, I know in my heart." But," she sighed heavily, "how could I have cut off ties with my family and go to that vast world to forge my soul with the so-called revolutionary ideals, if it weren't for that, how could I have gone to that ghost place." The woman's voice was full of bitter sarcasm, "If it weren't for him, how could I be what I am now, he didn't even feel his conscience and think about it." The woman's voice choked, and after a while, she sobbed lowly.
After listening to the corner for a while, Chen Xiaoyu roughly understood what was going on, the male protagonist had changed from time to time, cut off his feelings, and the heroine was still infatuated and unforgettable, and asked someone to pass the word, but was refused.
"Sister Hongmei, don't be sad, isn't this picture very good now? When you go to college, you are out of the sea of suffering. A familiar voice rang out.
Liu Lulu turned her head to look at Chen Xiaoyu, and curiosity flashed in her eyes.
Xiaoyu frowned.
"It's your little uncle and Deng Hongmei." Liu Lulu whispered in her ear, talking to herself in confusion, "Why are they together?" ”
"How do I know?" Xiaoyu interrupted her impatiently, tiptoed a few steps forward, brushed aside the bamboo leaves that were blocking her eyes, and just saw Chen Wenhui standing crampedly against the bamboo, with a large plastic bucket at his feet.
In the bamboo forest, there is a table made of bluestone and a few stone benches.
On the stone bench sat a young woman, carrying them, wearing a white dress, with a slender back, a square physique, her black hair draped over her weak shoulders, shining blue in the sun, hanging her neck, revealing a piece of snow-white skin, showing her weakness, I saw a state of pity.
I only heard her sigh in a low voice, and muttered, "Wen Hui, you are small, you don't understand this, like me, your life is ruined, and there will be no happiness in the future." ”
"How come, Sister Hongmei, you are still young, educated and so ......" Chen Wenhui suddenly stammered and didn't continue.
"What?" Deng Hongmei raised her face, with tears in her eyes, looking at him pitifully.
Wen Hui's face turned red, and he whispered, "It's so beautiful again." ”
He looked scared, lowered his eyes, and didn't dare to look at Deng Hongmei's watery eyes again.
There was a sudden silence in the bamboo forest, and only the breeze could be heard blowing through the treetops.
didn't see the front, Xiaoyu no longer liked Deng Hongmei, her situation made people sigh and sympathize, but Chen Wenhui is just an ignorant teenager at present, showing her feminine charm in front of such a child, Bo sympathy, and can't help but be suspicious of pretentiousness.
Deng Hongmei was silent for a while, and said to herself, "Young? Beautiful? What's the use of these, I've long been notorious, pointing fingers at others, and my family's face has disgraced me, and my family won't forgive me. Now he doesn't want to see me anymore. As she spoke, she burst into tears and began to weep lowly.
Chen Wenhui was even more at a loss, lowering his head and rolling up the clothes on his body, sweat falling from his forehead.
Liu Lulu sighed beside her, "It's really pitiful, I heard Wang Qun's mother and my mother say that Deng Hongmei came home a few days ago and had a big fight with Grandpa Deng and Grandma Deng." It looks like I'm going to get a divorce. My mother said that at the beginning, she had a place in college, married the lame son of the secretary of the brigade, and now she is in college, and she is divorced. Isn't this the modern Chen Shimei who is alive and well? ”
Chen Xiaoyu didn't make a sound, I heard that Deng Hongmei had been in a bad mental state since then, her heart was difficult to solve, and she was depressed for a while.
"Hey, a woman's marriage is reincarnation, and if she doesn't reincarnate well, this life will be over. That's what my mom said anyway, so you have to marry someone who is rich and snobbish and can take care of yourself. Liu Lulu muttered.
No wonder you end up marrying someone like that, it's because your mother didn't teach you well. Xiaoyu pursed her lips secretly, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Wenhui's side.
Chen Wenhui and Deng Hongmei didn't speak, and the two of them each thought about their own thoughts.
Liu Lulu looked at it for a while, felt that it was not very interesting, and reached out and pulled Xiaoyu's clothes, "Let's go, go to the well to play." ”
What kind of well platform are you going to go at this time, Chen Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, pretended to have tripped over a stone under her feet, fell to the ground, pulled Liu Lulu's clothes with her backhand, and shouted loudly, "Oops." ”
This voice made the two speechless people in the bamboo forest startled, and they both raised their heads and looked this way.
Chen Wenhui saw Xiaoyu at first sight, and hurriedly ran over, reaching out to pull her up, "What's wrong?" ”
"I tripped over a stone under my feet." The fall was strong enough, Xiaoyu sat on the ground, grinned, and propped her palms on the stones, and was poked hard, in pain.
Chen Wenhui dragged her up with a hard hand, bent down and patted the dirt on her pants, and counted it, "Look at your hairy hands, don't be careful when you play." ”
"Didn't you just walk over and didn't see it?" Xiaoyu seemed to have knocked her knees, and when she was slapped by him, she grinned in pain.
"Hey, why did you get here?" Chen Wenhui reacted at this time, widened his eyes, and looked at the innocent Liu Lulu next to her. "What are you doing here, there's nothing to do here." He muttered in his heart, don't be listened to by these two people what he said just now, Xiaoyu won't talk much, but this Liu Lulu has a nickname called the mother of the radio station.
"Didn't you say to fetch water? How is it here? Xiaoyu replied to him, despising in her heart.
"Oh, I'm talking to Sister Hongmei." Chen Wenhui said, tilting his face and signaling to Deng Hongmei, who was watching them not far away.
Chen Xiaoyu saw clearly that Deng Hongmei was really beautiful, with slender eyebrows slanting into the temples, a small melon seed face, a pointed chin, snow-white skin, and a pair of beautiful eyes, clear as water, with affectionate veins, and a desire to speak.
Seeing Chen Xiaoyu looking at herself with wide eyes, Deng Hongmei reluctantly smiled slightly, "Wenhui, what is this?" She hasn't been home for many years, so naturally she doesn't know Chen Xiaoyu.
"It's my niece." Chen Wenhui said, turning his head and instructing, "Xiaoyu, call Aunt Hongmei." ”
Chen Xiaoyu just nodded at her and didn't say anything.
Chen Wenhui was a little embarrassed, he slapped Xiaoyu on the head, "Girl, it's rude." ”
Deng Hongmei didn't care, she nodded, got up from the stone bench, and walked to them, "It's not too early, I should go back, Wenhui thank you." The last sentence is a bit bleak.
"Oh, don't be sad when you go back," Chen Wenhui was not at ease and chased after him.
"I'm nervous about schoolwork, and I'll be back at school in a few days." Deng Hongmei said that she was desolate and helpless, and she was particularly unwilling.
"Then little uncle, don't forget to give Aunt Hongmei the book that Uncle Xiao asked you to bring last time." Chen Xiaoyu reminded Chen Wenhui seriously.
"What book?" Chen Wenhui was inexplicable.
"It's the book "Resurrection". Leo Tolty's. Xiaoyu said, "Have you forgotten jì?" ”
Chen Wenhui bought a copy of "Resurrection", but it was not Brother Xiao who asked him to give it to Deng Hongmei.
"Resurrection?" Deng Hongmei's eyes lit up suddenly
"Resurrection," Chen Xiaoyu nodded affirmatively.
"Resurrection, resurrection......" Deng Hongmei muttered thoughtfully.
This is a book of atonement and self-redemption, Chen Xiaoyu knows that she must have understood the meaning.
Sure enough, the dark clouds on Deng Hongmei's face gradually dissipated, revealing a clear glow.
"I see." She nodded at Chen Wenhui, "Thank you, Wenhui." ”
Chen Wenhui was inexplicable.
But he was very happy when he saw the smile on Deng Hongmei's face.
