Chapter 222 [5000 Words]
For several years, she has been used to coming to clean up on the day of her death, and she was about to tidy up in front of Shan Xiaoou's tombstone, but suddenly found that it seemed to have been taken care of, and there was one more thing in front of the tombstone, and at a glance, she knew that this must not have been left by Shan Lao.
It was a handful of fresh white lilies, and in the midst of the storm, in front of the tombstone stood two half-burned white candles, and under the candle there was a corner of the paper corner that had not been completely burned.
And that paper doesn't look like the normal kind of paper money on weekdays, it looks like something has been written, Ji Xinyao's eyes sank, and she reached out to pick up the corner of shredded paper, because the paper was not burned, only two or three centimeters in size remained, and because it was rained, it was glued to the platform in front of the tombstone, and there were some faint handwriting on it, and it could only be seen that this piece of paper was originally full of words, like a letter, and the only one or two words could still be seen in the blurred Juanxiu font.
It's just that these two words are more complicated, and they are wet by the rain, and they are very blurry, and it is impossible to see what the words are, but such words, and this letter paper, which is similar to a sacrificial text, should only be used by women.
And the lily, the two white candles that have been carefully lit.
Her mother's cemetery has only been cleaned by her and Xiu Li for so many years, while Ji Qiuhang has only been here twice in more than ten years, and has never been here again, because he dislikes that this place is too remote, and because He Manni is not happy that he came to sweep Shan Xiaoou's tomb.
Therefore, although she and Xiu Li deliberately avoided the early morning when they came every year, so as not to see people they didn't want to see, in fact, they all knew in their hearts that Ji Qiuhang would not come, and he should have never been here all these years.
So when she saw someone standing here just now, Ji Xinyao would be a little surprised, and she would be a little moved by this, but as a single old person, she would never give her late daughter such a thoughtful bouquet of lilies, and she had seen Shan Lao's words, Shan Lao's words were a kind of neat ligatures that were popular twenty years ago, revealing a kind of military temperament, and this candle, the words on the corner of the paper, it is impossible for Shan Lao to do it.
This would not have been left by Thuri, because Thuri's words are not like that.
That is, in addition to these people she could think of, there was someone else who had been here, and moreover, it was a woman.
Ji Xinyao pinched the corner of paper in her hand, looked down at the candles and lilies on the ground, slowly stood up, and looked around, there was no one in this cemetery on weekdays, but coincidentally, in front of a tombstone in the distance, there was a person dressed in black, sitting in a wheelchair with an umbrella, and his back to her, who seemed to be remembering something in front of the tombstone.
I hadn't noticed that there were other people in front of the other tombstones in this cemetery just now, Xin Yao looked out again, and thought, that person is probably gone, right?
She sighed, lowered her head, and was about to crouch down again, but she paused abruptly, staring at the marks of the two wheelchairs on the ground.
Because this cemetery is neat, but not luxurious, so the ground in front of the tombstone is a very ordinary yellow mud floor, and the rain is not heavy, as long as it is a person who walks within two hours, or something else has walked by the traces, there will be some traces.
Maybe Shan Lao wouldn't notice these traces, but Xin Yao squinted suddenly, staring at the marks of the wheelchair under her feet, which seemed to have stayed here for a long time, and the traces were deeper than those next to her.
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the black figure who was still quietly facing away from her in front of the tombstone in the distance, her heart trembled for no reason, and her heart suddenly hung in her throat.
She put the corner of paper in her hand in the palm of her hand, held the umbrella, and walked towards the person step by step, with each step, she seemed to feel that something was getting closer and closer to her, and something was coming to her as if she was going to break out of the cocoon.
Until she approached, the figure in a wheelchair holding a black umbrella seemed to not hear the footsteps behind her and the sound of her stopping, still sitting there motionless, without looking back.
Ji Xinyao stared at the figure covered by the umbrella in front of her, but she could still see that the figure was emaciated, and the half of the arm exposed under the black clothes was much whiter than that of ordinary men and women, it was an unhealthy white, but she was very familiar with this kind of white, and then looked at the wheelchair under this person......
Ji Xinyao took a deep breath and walked around to the man step by step, until she saw the man's face, she felt as if something had been touched to her heart in an instant.
"Stone ...... Aunt......? Ji Xinyao looked at the woman who was silent in a wheelchair in disbelief.
Shi Fang slowly raised his head, his gaze was no longer dull and unfocused, but stared at her for a long time before he sighed: "In the end, it was discovered by you." ”
Xin Yao was a little puzzled, turned her head and looked at the tombstone on Shan Xiaoou's side, and then looked at the tombstone in front of Shi Fang's eyes, she hadn't heard of the name engraved on the tombstone, but Shi Fang should have been sitting here for a long time, she couldn't help but stare at Shi Fang's eyes that were no different from normal people: "...... you?" ”
Shi Fang looked at her: "Surprised? ”
"Nope." Xin Yao shakes
He shook his head: "As early as when I was in the United States, I vaguely guessed that you were pretending to be crazy, but I couldn't find evidence, but you didn't hurt me, I always believed that you must remember something, so I insisted on taking you back to China, but I didn't expect it...... Aunt Shi, you actually came here? ”
"Today is her death day, since I was taken back to China by your child, how could I not want to escape from the sight of those people in the nursing home and come to accompany her."
Shi Fang didn't mention Shan Xiaoou's name, just said "she", but Xin Yao could also understand what she meant.
"It's just that I didn't expect that I would be able to see her when I came back twenty-one years after her death, wrote a memorial to her, and was burning it, and at the same time talking to her, I saw someone who shouldn't have appeared here."
Speaking of the person who shouldn't have appeared, Shi Fang's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth were also a little sneer.
For Shi Fang in front of her suddenly became so normal, although Xin Yao had vaguely guessed, but now in the face of this fact, she was still a little shocked, especially when she saw the faint coldness and mocking smile in Shi Fang's eyes, she kept looking at her in disbelief.
"You're talking about Shan Heping?" Xin Yao asked softly.
Shi Fang frowned, and suddenly glanced at her deeply: "You kid, you are more calm than I imagined." ”
Ji Xinyao was silent, looked up at the outside of the cemetery, and couldn't see Gu Nancy and Shan Lao.
"Aunt Shi has been in the United States for so long, she should be considered imprisoned, right? In the United States, you really couldn't escape all these years, and after returning home, Nancy and I just wanted those people to take care of you and not let you run around, but no one spying on you, so you still have some freedom. ”
Xin Yao said softly.
Shi Fang smiled, she sat quietly in a wheelchair, tilted her head to look at Xin Yao, and seemed to look deeply at Ji Xin Yao in front of her, and after a long time, she said, "Yaoyao, Shan Heping wants to recognize you?" ”
I didn't expect Shi Fang to even know so much about the relationship between herself and Shan Lao, Xin Yao was secretly shocked, and always felt a little incredible, this Shi Fang had a set when she pretended to be crazy, and now she is so normal and calm, but she looks so shrewd, as if everything is under her control.
Xin Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips, and then changed the topic: "Aunt Shi is here to wait for me?" Or do you just want to come and spend time with my mom? ”
When she said the word mother, for some reason, Shi Fang's eyes seemed to move slightly, and when Xin Yao looked at her eyes carefully, Shi Fang was already smiling again.
"I'll come to see her, if I wait for you, I want you to know this so early, I don't need to go to the dirty city of Y City at all......" Shi Fang's voice was faint: "You kid always takes the time to see me, if I want you to know, why wait until now." ”
"Aunt Shi, now that I know, aren't you afraid of me telling me?"
"Say it?" Shi Fang sneered: "Who can you tell me?" Tell your husband Nancy Gu? Or to whom? Say I'm not crazy? Let them continue to imprison me in the United States, and really drive me crazy? ”
"Them?" With the instinctive acumen of a media worker and the habit of grasping the key points, Xin Yao immediately squinted slightly and carefully observed Shi Fang's expression.
But Shi Fang looked at her with a smile: "Yaoyao, are you observing me?" What do you want to see in me? ”
Ji Xinyao pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "I think, know what you are thinking now, or, what do you want to do now?" ”
"More than that, right? You girl, it seems simple, but in fact, you already have some certainty in your heart, and if you are not fully prepared, you can't say such things at this moment. Shi Fang raised the umbrella and looked at Ji Xinyao's calm face with a straight face: "Do you want to know from me what happened more than 20 years ago?" You want to know why she committed suicide by jumping off the building back then, you want to know what Ji Qiuhang caused your mother, and you want to know if I came back to take revenge! ”
Ji Xinyao was still calm, but she smiled calmly: "Aunt Shi, the feeling of being seen through at a glance is really bad." ”
"I can't see through you, who else can see through you? You are my ......" Shi Fang said with a smile, but he was just halfway through the words, and when Ji Xinyao frowned suspiciously, he suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Ji Xinyao's face hesitantly.
Xin Yao didn't understand what Shi Fang meant by this, and she seemed to not want to say it after only half of the words, she observed her for a while, and then said: "Aunt Shi, everyone says that good sisters have been together for a long time, and they all have sisters, but they seem to have a lot of similarities, you look very similar to my mother in the photo, it seems...... And I'm kind of like ......."
Although Shi Fang is old, skinny and skinny, and a little out of shape, some similarities can still be seen.
Shi Fang didn't speak, for some reason, she seemed to be very unhappy, and, a little displeased, she turned her head sideways and looked at the cemetery coldly
The surrounding one said coldly: "Ji Qiuhang only buried her in this kind of place?" Has he ever come to see her over the years? ”
Xin Yao hesitated: "I have only been here once or twice in more than ten years, and I have never been here again." ”
"In more than 20 years, only once or twice?" Shi Fang's expression became more and more cold.
Xin Yao saw that she was so upset about her mother, although she had too many doubts about this Aunt Shi in her heart, she was still moved by their sisterhood, so she said sincerely: "What's the use of caring about these now?" My mother should have given up on Ji Qiuhang a long time ago, didn't she? Since he was so desperate that he committed suicide, why bother to care if he had been here all these years? ”
When Shi Fang heard this, she turned her head and glanced at her: "You girl is open-minded about emotional matters, but I don't know if you can be so open-minded when you encounter something that is difficult to talk about or powerless." ”
"Does Aunt Shi have something to say?" Ji Xinyao looked at her.
Shi Fang frowned: "If you don't want your knowing mother to be disappointed in you, Yaoyao, leave the Gu family." ”
Ji Xinyao's originally smiling face stiffened slightly, and the temperature of her gaze dropped a little, and she cautiously looked at the woman in front of her who seemed to be kindly admonishing herself: "What? ”
Shi Fang raised his eyes: "Do you really want to know the grievances of more than twenty years ago?" If you know, I can tell you very clearly, you will feel ashamed and disgusted directly for being pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Gu family and marrying into the Gu family! ”
Xin Yao's face gradually turned white, she took a step back, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Shan Lao outside who seemed to be planning to walk inside, she paused, and didn't ask Shi Fang what she meant by this, but just whispered: "I'm sorry, today is my mother's death day, I'll go and accompany her first, Aunt Shi, pay attention to safety when you go back to G City, I'll miss it first." ”
After that, she didn't wait for Shi Fang to say anything about the Gu family, and hurried to the door of the cemetery.
When Gu Nancy and Shan Lao walked in, because Xin Yao's footsteps were a little anxious, she also walked to the door of the cemetery the moment they walked in, just because the yellow muddy land was sticky and difficult to walk after the rain, she suddenly stumbled under her feet and fell directly forward.
Gu Nancy helped her at the right time: "Be careful." ”
After he helped Xin Yao, he took her into his arms and said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Have you sprained your foot again? ”
Xin Yao shook her head slightly: "No, I'm fine, Nancy, let's go." ”
If they went in at the same time, it wouldn't be long before they all noticed Shi Fang, who had been sitting quietly in front of the tombstone in the corner.
Xin Yao was scared for no reason, and suddenly just wanted to stay away from Shi Fang.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Gu Nancy hugged her, touched her hand, immediately held it in her hand, and looked at her with concern: "Did you just not take a good umbrella and get drenched in the rain?" Don't catch a cold, come, put this on first. ”
As she spoke, Gu Nancy took off her coat and put it behind Xin Yao's back, and then stroked her face with a warm palm: "Really cold?" ”
"Nope." Xin Yao still wanted to leave: "It's not early, let's leave here." ”
"This kid's face is not very good, it is estimated that he was blown by the wind, you two came by plane early in the morning, did you come by taxi? I've heard that it's hard to get a taxi around here, so get in my car. Shan Lao said a word on the side, then turned around and walked to an army green jeep over there.
Originally, Xin Yao was still hesitating, but Gu Nancy whispered slowly in her ear: "It's really not easy to take a taxi here, you and the child are the main, don't be angry at this time, get in the car first, huh?" ”
Xin Yao nodded, and saw that Gu Nancy took off his coat and put it on her, he only had a shirt on him, and he couldn't bear to let him catch a cold, so he obediently went to Shan Lao's car with him, and when he sat in the car, he noticed that there was a driver in front of the car.
"Go to the hotel, let this girl change into dry clothes first." After Shan Lao said to the driver, he sat in front, looked back at Xin Yao, who was lowering her head and clasping her hands together, and saw Gu Nancy holding her hand, tightening the clothes on her body, and said with a smile: "Willing to get in the car, is it another step?" ”
Ji Xinyao raised her head and glanced at Shan Lao: "We will get off when we get to the city." ”
When Shan Lao immediately squinted in displeasure, Gu Nancy hugged Xin Yao, who was trembling, in her arms, and said calmly: "It's okay to go to the city, I'll send her to the hospital first, if she really catches a cold, it's good to control it before she catches a cold and fever." ”
Shan Lao frowned: "You girl is so stubborn? Even if I plan to take you back to the Ji family and let the Ji family see clearly, you Ji Xinyao is my granddaughter of Shan Heping, and you don't plan to go? ”
