Chapter Eighty-Nine: Never Again
After Si Ling adjusted to the light in the hall, he found that the seats were almost empty, and there were only a few figures scattered around. She sat casually in www.biquge.info place, as far away from the others as possible,
Yes, yes. Si Ling remembered. was pulled back to the world from Yunxiao. She stared at the blanket on her lap and muffled, "You remember." β
Jiang Churen was afraid that she would be too careful, so he immediately declared: "I remember everything about you." Not to mention such a good friend of yours. β
Not long ago, he said that he regarded Xu Ning as his sister! Now it's just "about Si Ling's friends". Between men and women, unless they are lovers, they are strangers, and the love of brothers and sisters is all deceiving.
Si Ling was silent.
Jiang Chudao: "I made a phone call to go back, and I heard that the exam was canceled. β
Si Ling raised his head suddenly: "What?" β
"The battle situation...... A little nervous. Don't worry, it's not too powerful. But some domestic business has been affected. The sponsor of that scholarship had difficulties and withdrew its sponsorship. β
"Then can Xu Ning still go on to higher education? The fruit shop isn't doing well either, is it? Si Ling remembered the box of snacks. Although it is said that it is a thousand miles to send goose feathers, the mind is the most important, but if it is really a little more solid, why take out this kind of thing?
Jiang Churen pressed Si Ling's shoulder: "I know you're not at ease, let's go back and have a look first." I took it upon myself to buy a ticket back. β
Si Ling nodded, put on her clothes and slept for a while, when the plane was about to arrive home, she woke up, there were no clouds, but she saw a green island underneath the past, and further on, endless, is the land of China, she was worried about seeing the smoke of the beacon fire for a moment, but fortunately, as far as the eye could see, it was still a quiet and energetic land. The passengers were about to get off the plane, and she pulled Jiang Churen.
"Huh?"
"Is there anyone picking you up? Can I sneak away? β
"Where are you going?" Jiang Chu people inevitably have headaches.
"The Xu family." Si Ling was annoyed. She has a really bad temper and hates to explain it to others. Can't you just be able to understand it? Hey?!
Jiang Churen blinked: "It's okay." I'll go with you. β
"Hey!" Si Ling Qi knot.
"I care too." Jiang Churen had a wounded face.
That's what I said...... But I always feel irritable. Si Ling clasped his hands on his chest and confronted him for a moment: "You have all the luggage?" β
"Of course!"
Si Ling nodded: "Uh-huh." β
The Jiang Chu people took this as a promise, and the result was ...... He took care of the pile of luggage when he got off the plane, and when he looked back, he was nowhere to be seen.
Si Ling ran away lightly.
She called a foreign car and ran to Xu's shop in a rage, her hair was messy, and she was dressed in a denim suitβa material that was originally brought up by American GIs, and was equivalent to military uniforms in the eyes of many people. Mother Xu saw it at first glance, and she was still a ruffian and was frightened. As a result, this soldier ruffian rushed into the store, found a chair familiar with the way, sat cross-legged, and supported his cheeks with a worried brow: "Master, help me pay for the car." β
Mother Xu looked at it fixedly, "Ahh She had to help Si Ling pay Che Tian first.
If a person dares to break into the house of someone other than his parents, and ask someone to pay as soon as he sits on a chair, it requires a lot of friendship, and it is best to guarantee that he can pay it back. Si Ling met these two conditions, and Xu's mother paid the money very neatly, and while she was busy twisting her neck and asking, "Second Miss, where did you come from?" What's wrong? β
Si Ling stared at the stairs.
There was a sound at the foot of the stairs, Xu Ning rushed down, saw Si Ling clearly, paused, and said with a halberd finger: "Where did you come back from begging for food!" β
Si Ling pursed the corners of her mouth and stretched out her arms to her, her face full of begging.
Xu Ning sighed, sighed again, and walked forward and hugged her.
Si Ling wrapped her hands around Xu Ning's waist, buried her face in her chest, and spit out a long sullen breath: "You just let me help you!" β
Mother Xu poured a cup of tea, took a fruit next to her, peeled off the skin, and slowly cut it into slices.
Xu Ning patted Si Ling's shoulder, sat down opposite her, and asked, "You came back for me?" β
Si Ling nodded, thought about it, and shook his head again.
Xu Ning stepped on the rungs of the chair with both feet, and wiped the non-existent ash on the corner of the table with his fingers: "We still plan to go back to the countryside." β
Mother Xu smiled nervously, and there were more bitter lines at the corners of her mouth than before: "It's that I didn't do a good job." β
"What are you going to do in the country?" Si Ling asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Guard those few points." Mother Xu snorted, particularly embarrassed. It is indeed not easy for a woman to support a shop, and it is even more difficult to provide for her daughter's education, so she has to return to the countryside.
The woman who is accustomed to living in downtown Shanghai wants to go to the countryside, which is worse than the general giving up the position. Mother Xu hopes that the Chen family will help them again, and it is best to solve their future lives directly, Miss Chen Er and A Ning are not close friends...... Alas, Bisheng snatched the man that A-Ning liked! Mother Xu pondered about asking Chen Siling for help, but she was very weak and short of breath.
"Could it be that Aning also went to Shoutian?" Si Ling blew up. Oops, although the book says about the field scenery...... ButγBut Anin! A-Ning, who has to be spotlessly wiped on the stairs she walks through, A-Ning, who wears a cotton cheongsam with the fragrance of magnolia, and A-Ning, who is skilled as a butterfly and wears flowers through the cobweb-like alleys, go to the countryside to farm!
"I'm thinking about getting a scholarship," Xu Ning smiled, "That school is close to home, I can help my mother take care of the family, and the result is ......."
"Whatever!" Si Ling frowned and shouted in annoyance, "You let me do it for you!" I still want to go to university abroad! You can go with me. Anyway, we were delayed by the war, we are already too old, and the grade is too low, you just jump, and the high school cares about him! Come with me to college. There is always a superintendent who is willing to be accommodating, and I will do ......."
Xu Ning shook his head.
"You don't want anything from me because I owe you?" Si Ling didn't choose to speak, "Then I'll give it back to you!" I-"
Xu Ning pressed Si Ling's shoulders violently, like a trumpet, trying to silence her voice.
This should not be said, especially not at this time.
Jiang Churen appeared at the door.
All four of them were as pale as paper.
ββ¦β¦ What about me," Xu Ning said slowly, "I want to be able to do things after reading a book, so as to support my family." I also fancy the teacher. I still want to be self-reliant. β
"Yes, yes." Mother Xu smiled and played a round game, "Where have you two gone?" Tired enough, right? Let's rest when you're back! It's much more comfortable with a cup of tea. β
"Si Ling." Jiang Churen spoke. The voice was terrifyingly heavy.
Si Ling waited.
He said: "Not long after we went out, the plague in southern Zhejiang was more serious, and the local medical force was insufficient, so we asked for military assistance. Your eldest brother took the initiative to sign up. β
The mother and daughter of the Xu family knew about this for a long time, but Siling didn't know. She was holding a transparent tulip cup and sleeping in the sunset, Jiang Churen hung up the phone in Shanghai every two or three days, reported safety, and exchanged news by the way, when she heard about this, she should tell Si Ling, look at her sleeping face, think about it, why wake her up? Anyway, make an appointment to watch the sunrise in a few hours, and call her up when the time comes, and mention it by the way while watching.
At sunrise, Jiang Churen called Si Ling, she hummed, like a bear that was woken up before the winter had passed, but she didn't lose her temper, and allowed others to wrap her in a thick robe to resist the cold wind in the early morning, and moved her to the place where she watched the sunrise, was pushed, half stood up and took a look, and fell asleep again, holding her coat and sleeping until the sun was three poles, the red light suddenly reflected in her dream, she sat up violently, and shouted: "Blood!" β
Jiang Churen came to comfort her, but she didn't believe it. "Nothing happened? You don't hide anything from me? Jiang Churen raised her hand to assure her, and she calmed down and muttered to herself: "It's me who has a nervous heart." Jiang Churen only then remembered the news she received last night, if she said it at this time, maybe she went crazy again and stomped her feet and had to go back immediately, how pointless? Forget it! It's not that important anyway.
I didn't expect it to be so important that it was life and death.
The mother and daughter of the Xu family both felt ominous. Si Ling's fingers grabbed his arm, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Oh, he went?" And then what? β
"And then, you know, it's an area of contagion. The soldiers helped maintain order, but ......" Jiang Churen still said as tactfully as he had planned when he came. But Si Ling interrupted him impatiently: "Tell me directly, how is the eldest brother now?" β
A sour breath rushed straight to Jiang Churen's nose. He dragged so many luggage around the airport for a long time, dealing with the relatives and friends of the two families, and suddenly received the telegram, and he had to comfort her family on behalf of Siling, worry about Siling, and think of a lot of rhetoric. What for? They are going to return him as a broken handkerchief!
Why was he worried about her feelings?
"When I first got out of the airport," he said bluntly, "there was a telegram from Zhejiang. Chen Sixiao was infected with malignant plague, and the treatment was ineffective, and he died in the line of duty. β
Si Ling heard his voice and knew that it was a language she mastered. But she didn't know what he was talking about. I don't know at the moment.
She only knew what he said, and she should have replied with something, which was in line with the conventions of interpersonal communication. She thought about it, what was she most concerned about now? Oh! "Find a way for Xu Ning, so that she can study and supplement her family."
"Good...... Okay," Jiang Churen was shocked and muttered, "Maybe it's okay to go to nursing school?" The hospital can pay the tuition fee on behalf of the hospital, as long as the pre-signed contract promises to provide services for a certain number of years after graduation......"
Xu Ning said: "Okay, thank you Mr. Jiang!" β
Mother Xu also said: Thank you Mr. Jiang!
That's nice. It's good to have power and connections, and it can be solved all at once. Exultation. But why did they all look at her as if she had become a serious patient in an instant?
Si Ling checked herself and was not sick. She's in good shape. But there's something wrong. She suddenly lost a good connection with the world. She wasn't sick, so something must be wrong with the world.
She looked around at the humble shop, the fresh fruit gathered in wicker baskets, and wondered what she was doing here. Jiang Churen followed her all the way, she remembered. So she asked him, "Are you leaving?" β
He nodded, gave her his arm, and carried her out, where he was confronted by someone. This person was also asking her: "Second Miss! What's wrong?! β
What happened, Jiang Churen told her just now, she still remembered, so she repeated it with this person. In the process of repeating it, she finally understood. One word, one word, spelled together.
Si Xiao is dead.
But this can't be true.
Si Xiao had always been a living person, she could see, hear, and feel him. This intersection, the next intersection, he may still appear at any time. How could he die? It's someone else who gets it wrong.
Si Ling walked forward. Keep going. It doesn't matter if he is there on this journey, in her life, he is not always with every location. But since it exists, the next part of the road may appear.
Tao Kun glanced at Jiang Churen in horror. He also came to take a trip for Xu Ning's business, but he didn't expect to bump into Si Ling head-on, and there was no trace of popularity on his face. He asked, and she answered. He looked at him as he answered, but he suspected that she didn't recognize him at all.
"Second Miss is overly grief-stricken." Tao Kun asserted to Jiang Churen.
He was certainly surprised and saddened. He knew and liked Si Xiao quite a bit. But being sad is not the same as being sad. Breaking your nails is not the same as losing your heart. Si Xiao wasn't even a nail to him.
And Si Ling, anyone can see that her heart is gone.
Jiang Churen hurriedly pressed Tao Kun's shoulder: "I know, there is me." "Remembrance Ling is gone.
He doubted that Si Ling would secretly love Tao Kun, but because of various problems of family rank, he couldn't be combined, so he had to find another partner, and he, Jiang Churen, was the helpless substitute?
Think about it, but not to. He believed that with Si Ling's backbone and arrogance, it was impossible to make such a boring choice.
As for Si Ling's reaction when he received the bad news and bumped into Tao Kun, he confirmed it. She didn't even recognize Tao Kun! Tao Kun is not the "person" in her heart. No matter how beautiful and considerate she is, it is not the light that shines on her life.
So who else? There is no one else around Si Ling, only he is from Jiang Chu. Since he is not a substitute for anyone, then he still has to chase her over and help her through the difficult time.
After all, they are brothers and sisters who grew up together...... Jiang Churen thought about it for her, could it be that she really had a mysterious ability like telepathy? So Sixiao suffered a catastrophe, she was thousands of miles away, and she would also be disturbed. Suddenly obsessed with fine wine, want to stop traveling, or something, it's all for this, right? I blame him for not telling her the news that Sixiao went to the epidemic area in time. That's not his anymore!
Jiang Churen turned to blame himself.
Tao Kun fell behind, and the two mothers and daughters of the Xu family also came out: "Are you here?" β
"Hmm." Tao Kun said, "A-Ning, ...... about your education?"
"It's okay," Xu's mother was very happy, thinking about Sixiao, and told him sadly, "Mr. Jiang said to help us find a nursing school." β
"Ah," Tao Kun was stunned and congratulated, "That's good." β
In fact, he originally brought good news that there was a school that could provide tuition for Xu Ning. In fact, this is completely a gift, remember the door of "that lady" that Tao Kun confessed to Si Ling? This gift was completely obtained by Tao Kun through her door, and she was hesitant, and she didn't know how to phrase it to make Xu Ning accept it without doubt.
Neighbors, he thought, must help with this little favor.
I didn't expect people to solve it in one face.
Xu Ning covered his face with his hands and began to cry. Probably crying and howling. This time, I cried with a broken nail, which was not miserable, but also a great pain. But when you hear the cry, you know she's going to live.
Tao Kun turned his head to look at Jiang Churen's back, his back was so wide, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up to reveal his strong wrists. The dirty boy Si Ling was wrapped in the crook of his arm, and only a little bit was exposed.
In this way, is it a man that women can rely on? Tao Kun silently watched them leave. The sun fell, and everyone sank in their own shadows. (To be continued.) )
