Chapter Seventy-Five: The Night of the Maple Bridge

I smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man, who looked at me suspiciously and took the cigarette. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uncle, I'm not a bad person, I just think this place is somewhat familiar, come and have a look."

Hearing my gentle tone, the old man was not so wary of me, I helped him light a cigarette, and he said, "Young man, have you been here before, this used to be a garment factory. ”

"Garment factory?" I asked.

The old man spat out his cigarette and said with some emotion: "Yes, don't you see that these houses are all old-style low bungalows." Pointing to the two houses in front of him, he continued: "These two used to be workshops, and they are both old houses from the seventies and eighties. ”

Looking around, I found that the two bungalows in front of me really looked like a workshop and a garment factory.

"Then why is it now a nursing home again?"

The old man did not answer my words, but walked into a small room next to him.

The room was about forty square meters in size, with a large table in the middle and a shabby wooden bed and a black-and-white TV next to it.

I'm a little surprised, why are there still old antique TVs in this day and age?

The old man poured a glass of water, pointed to a wooden chair next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

The old man took two more puffs of cigarette and said a little distractedly: "A fire more than ten years ago burned everything........ I burned for a day and a night......"

The old man was a little sad, shook his head, and continued: "The fire burned several people, and the director of the garment factory couldn't afford it, so he ran away, and then the family members of the injured were compensated here, and then the families of the injured changed this place into a nursing home, alas.........."

"Uncle, you were also an employee of this garment factory at the time........

The old man smiled and said, "How do you know?" ”

I said seriously: "Uncle, your expression is a little sad, and your eyes are a little lost and sad............."

"Pretty accurate, young man."

After taking a sip of tea, I suddenly felt that it was unbelievable that I would be talking about unrelated things with a strange old man in this dilapidated little house this night.

The old man asked, "Young man, you have found here, are there any relatives here?" You tell me that I have lived here for 20 years, and if you name it, your uncle will definitely help you find out. ”

"I'm ............."

Am I here for someone? Who am I looking for? Could it be Xia Yuan...........

The old man saw that I was spitting, and he said, "Young man, why don't you speak?" ”

"Uncle, I actually came to see it, and I didn't mean anything else."

The old man smiled and said, "Recently, there is a girl who is about the same age as you, and in her spare time, she will come to see us old bones, and the young people are quite moral now." ”

Xia Yuan! I thought of her in an instant, and I couldn't think of anyone else but her, but how could she come to the nursing home? Why haven't I seen her come to the nursing home before? Does she have any relatives here?

Just as I was gathering my thoughts, a conversation outside the door came to my ears.

"Grandma Wang, tonight's lanterns are beautiful."

"Okay, okay, I haven't been outside to shop for lanterns for several years, Yuan girl, you have a heart."

"Grandma Wang, don't say that, I will come to see you more when I have time in the future."

.................

Isn't this Xia Yuan's voice? I'm sluggish for a while, why is she still here at night?

For some reason, I had a thought of wanting to dodge, so I immediately stood up and tiptoed to the window, wanting to see if Xia Yuan was gone.

Who knew that as soon as I put my head out of the window, Xia Yuan happened to turn her head and saw me stretching my neck...........

Nima ..........

This TM was discovered without even hiding..........

I waved at her awkwardly, "Hey! ”

Xia Yuan looked at me in surprise for a few seconds, and then turned back coldly after confirming that it was me.

Although she ignored me many times, I didn't feel ashamed, anyway, I had done all the embarrassing things in front of her, and I had seen her almost fruity spring........

"Young man, you're here to find that girl." The old man said.

I turned around and nodded wryly.

The old man smiled and said softly, "Do you like that girl?" ”

"Huh? Belch........ No, no, no, it's not ......."

The old man said with a 'I understand' expression: "You young people! ”

After saying goodbye to the old man, I walked back and forth in the yard, wanting to wait for her to go back with me.

When I finished smoking the third cigarette, Xia Yuan came out of a house, and after seeing her, what did I do with her? She's hurt herself..........

Xia Yuan walked past me coldly, came back to her senses, and followed her, she didn't look back at me, she walked faster and faster, but no matter how fast she walked, she was still a woman, so she didn't think much about it and followed quickly.

It wasn't until I was about to walk to the maple bridge that I shouted at her, "Hey! Xia Yuan, shall we talk? ”

I thought she would ignore me, but I didn't want her to stop.

I was just about to walk over, when suddenly a figure appeared in my sight..........

In the dark night, a familiar figure stood alone by the maple bridge, she looked into the distance like a fluttering fairy.........

Jiang Yan!

I stopped abruptly and stared blankly at her.

The moment I found Jiang Yan, Xia Yuan also saw Jiang Yan standing by the Fengqiao, I couldn't see Xia Yuan's expression, she just stopped for a few seconds, and then quickly faded out of my sight...............

I stretched out my hand to keep her, but after seeing Jiang Yan, I held back my words.

There was silence all around, and the trees on both sides of the maple bridge rustled by the cold wind, and after a long time, I took a deep breath and walked over to her.

I don't know what Jiang Yan is doing here, I remember that since she got engaged, she hasn't been to Fengqiao and the pond again.

Walking over step by step, stepping on the stone slab made an intermittent 'knock' sound.

"Is it Luo Bing?" Jiang Yan didn't look back, listening to my footsteps and asked.

"Uh-huh.........."

Jiang Yan was wearing a red windbreaker, although it was a red windbreaker, she couldn't hide her beauty and elegance, she turned her head and looked at me with a smile.

We looked at each other like this, her gaze moved from my face to my lap, and then said, "Luo Bing, you have lost weight.........."

My heart trembled slightly, and I chuckled back, "yes." ”

Looking blankly at the deep and silent night, once upon a time we would come here every night, blowing the wind and talking, Fengqiao brought us too many memories, but time has imperceptibly drawn an insurmountable boundary between me and Jiang Yan.........
