Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Can't Finish Listening to the Story
The night outside the suburbs was really cool, and there was no noise around, and occasionally frogs chirped three or two times. Cheng Hecheng hid by the courtyard and took the last puff of cigarette, and found that he didn't want to get up yet, since last year, he would stay here for two days every month, and his mood was not so complicated in the past.
Seeing Shu Lin and them leaving in a hurry, they seemed to be hiding something.
Listening to Aunt Wang talk about Shen Ye next door, it turned out that the old man with a strange temperament next door was actually Shen Xihe's grandfather. But when he visited the old man in the evening, the courtyard was empty.
"Shen Lao, it's rare that you didn't play chess tonight." Like everyone else, Cheng Hecheng saw most of what he saw when he went to his yard was playing chess by himself, and occasionally Uncle Wang would go over to play two games when he was empty.
Old Man Shen opened his half-squinted eyes, "You didn't come yesterday, and the guy my granddaughter brought back played chess well." ”
"You're talking about Qin Ming?"
"yes, people are old, and their memory is not good." Old Man Shen seemed a little lonely, completely forgetting that he was still shouting at night and taking care of his two granddaughters. When this person walked away, he began to say that his memory was not very good, and he was reluctant to let his granddaughter be possessed by other boys, but his stubborn character had never liked words.
"Then let's have another plate." Cheng Hecheng sat down.
Shen Lao didn't seem to be much interested, and the whole person curled up in the chair, unable to see his dull face clearly.
"Shen Lao, you say, will she come back to that person?"
Old Man Shen rubbed his hands and asked him if he had any cigarettes. The old man took a deep breath, "Isn't she just by my side?" ”
After a pause, he said, "I'll just smoke one, not more." ”
Many years later, when Cheng Hecheng recalled that he came, the picture in front of him was very clearly fixed in his mind. It was a person who carried the precipitation of years and the stories of the last century, and the cigarette he smoked seemed to be full of all his thoughts.
That kind of style and feeling is not perceptible in any young lad.
After listening to Shen Lao, Cheng Hecheng's heart suddenly brightened.
He took out a ring from his pocket and wrapped it around a red rope. It was a man's ring, and he watched quietly, rubbing his fingers repeatedly.
"My old woman, when she was very young, I didn't have the money to buy her a gold ring, and when the days were free, her hands became rough, and I didn't take her with me." Shen Lao watched him take out a ring, and the conversation box seemed to be opened, with a hint of relief on his face as he spoke, as if he was happy to mention her, whether it was good or bad.
Cheng He was in a trance, this ring was originally for a couple, and it was designed by her wife. Now he was the only one left, and the ring was gone with her.
After that, he put away his ring and hid it very carefully, because he was afraid of losing it, so he wrapped a red rope to make it more conspicuous. I put it away at home for fear of forgetting it one day and throwing it away, so I had to take it with me.
The rope was given by the monk in the temple, but he also said a foolish thing to see that he had a relationship with Buddhism, and the red rope bless and keep him safe.
If he was young and vigorous a long time ago, he didn't believe this, but he had something hidden in his heart, praying for her more hope.
"But the nephew of the little neighbor is a little similar to you, didn't I hear you say before, there is a child at home, and I haven't seen you bring him for so long. No matter what, the child will miss his mother. Shen Lao said and took a sip of tea, originally it was not suitable for drinking tea this night, and he slept lightly.
But I was really sitting a little lonely, and tea was accompanied by self-meditation.
Cheng Hecheng was silent for a long time and didn't know how to speak, what should he say, he couldn't bear to think of her when he saw the child, and he was disgusted with the child.
I always thought in my heart that if he hadn't been noisy and said that he was going to play there, how could things have happened so coincidentally, and he didn't even see her for the last time.
He really relented and left him in a strange place.
He threw a young and ignorant child into the dim abyss.
When I saw him again, should I be glad or feel guilty?
Shen Lao saw that he didn't speak, but he remembered the past, put down the teacup and got up and said: "The old wine brewed a few years ago is getting more and more fragrant, it just so happened that Xiao He and they came to bring some peanuts from the city yesterday, and wait for me to get a small wooden table." ”
Shu Lin sat in front of the window in his room for a while, with a sad face. Tossing and turning, a little tired, his head was indeed sober, and he got up to rummage through old things.
Sorting out old things seems to be inexplicably reassuring.
I opened the drawer and took out the small box, and took out the ring that I had accidentally picked up, which looked more and more special in the night light. At least, she hasn't seen it on the market now. Shu Lin's hand is not very good-looking, holding the ring and not having much interest in taking it for herself, she always feels that this is someone else's thing, and the owner of this ring must be a very charming woman to be worthy of this unique ring.
I don't know where the pen fun pavilion is www.biquge.info and where the landing point is, like a few letters to be pieced together, more like the letters are implicated in each other. It seems complicated but it can be seen through at a glance, and it seems that it can be seen through at a glance but it never knows where it starts and ends at a certain point.
Lingering with each other, but there are clear boundaries.
Shu Lin stared at this ring for a long time, but there were more questions in his heart, this was probably a couple's ring. The host is a very thoughtful woman and very independent. The man in life met but was so unhurried, related to each other's lives, but in life, the two of them had enough space not to interfere.
If the meaning of the ring is really as she guessed, then how envious the love of the ring's owner is.
Then she has to be careful to keep this ring, so that the two people who love each other lose their tokens to each other.
It's best to write an apology letter for this.
"Xiao Cheng, you are still very young, don't follow the path of my old man." Shen Lao is disrespectful to the old in front of Shen Xihe, and he has a bit of an old man's appearance in front of Cheng Hecheng.
He has gone through most of his life, he has endured the hardships that should have been eaten, and the hardships that should not have been eaten, and he has already gone through the process of staying and looking at each other. But Cheng Hecheng is different, he is still young and vigorous, but he has a grave in his heart like when he was young, and he deceives himself.
Cheng Hecheng smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine, this old man never likes to mention this stubble. If you want to mention it, he said it first, but he didn't expect Cheng He, who was dumbfounded, as soon as the old man spoke.
"No way, she's been there."
