In April, I got on the bus that went directly to the industrial area. There were few people on the bus, most of the seats were empty, and the driver rubbed his eyes while driving leisurely, and the old bus made a loud creak.

Time seemed to freeze in this moment, and the afternoon sun shrouded her face through the car window.

April squinted at the regressing scenery outside the window, and strangely settled down in her heart.

It's only been a few months since I left here, and when I came back again, my mood changed dramatically. A few months ago, she had come here in search of solace and courage, and when she was in prison, her eyes were filled with despair. And this time when she came here again, her heart was very calm.

She came to say goodbye to Grandma.

When he arrived at the old house, after eating a bowl of instant noodles in April, he took out a rag and slowly wiped the dust on the urn.

"Grandma, I'm going to a distant place, and in the future, I may come to see you for a long time, don't be angry." Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she chattered to a little old woman: "I have never dared to come to see you, because I am afraid that you will blame me." After that, I'm going to live alone. ”

"Huh? Grandma, are you worried that I won't be able to get through alone? Don't worry, I've lived alone for so many years, and it's okay. Well, I'll take good care of myself, don't worry about ......"

She talked to herself, and time passed slowly, occasionally stopping quietly beside her, listening quietly for a while, and then running away without looking back.

The next morning, she hastily cleaned up, looked in a small mirror, and found that the mark on her neck had not disappeared, so she picked up a scarf and wrapped it. Then she looked around, checked the room for security, and when she was sure that the doors and windows were closed, she dragged her suitcase out the door and locked the door.

The old man next door got up early and was playing Tai Chi in the open space in front of the door. Seeing April go out, he put away his fist and took a few steps forward, "Girl, I haven't seen you here for a long time." "Although he was old, he had a good memory, and he recognized April as the woman he had lived with in the previous months.

April nodded at the other party and showed a faint smile, "yes, I haven't been here for a few months." ”

When the old man saw the suitcase she was carrying, he was stunned and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"If you have to go on a long trip, it may be a long time before you come back." I don't know if I can see this old man when she comes back. Thinking like this, she couldn't help but sigh and sigh in her heart, and after saying goodbye to the old man, she took another step and slowly went into the distance.

Getting on the bus to the train station, it was another bump. It took about an hour to reach the destination. Because he didn't eat breakfast, April bought an omelet on the side of the road and swallowed it.

Since it is not a holiday, there are not many people queuing up at the train station to buy tickets, and April looked at the rolling schedule in the hall, and the nearest bus is to Z city, which departs half an hour later. April thought about it and felt that it didn't matter where he went, anyway, he was alone, so he stepped forward and lined up.

In front of her stood a few people, in front of her was a family of three, children four or five years old, blinking and looking around. When the little boy saw her, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the pendant hanging on her bag with his little fat finger, and said to his parents in a milky voice: "Mom, I want that." ”

The adult's eyes followed the direction of the child's finger, and when he saw the candy pendant hanging on the April bag, he suddenly cried and laughed: "Good, that's not food, wait for the ticket to be bought and let Dad buy you a lollipop, okay?" ”

But how can a four- or five-year-old child understand this, his parents who pestered him did not forgive, and the woman looked at April apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaobao is spoiled by us." ”

April didn't smile, looking a little indifferent and unkind, the child's father wanted to buy this pendant from her, but seeing that her face was expressionless, the words did not come out of his mouth. Soon it was their turn to buy tickets, and the two hurriedly bought the tickets, pulling the child and wanting to leave, but at this time, Xiaobao had already opened his mouth and cried.

After buying the ticket in April, the child's crying did not stop, and the man had to forcefully carry the child to the waiting room.

The little boy cried sadly, and his face was covered with tears and snot. April followed them a few steps, hesitated for a moment, took off the pendant, stepped forward quickly, and slipped the pendant into his small hand. The wet eyes were startled for a moment, and the little boy opened his black grape-like eyes and leaned on his father's back to look at her. The woman bent her eyes and stopped in place, looking at the family of three in front of her as they walked farther and farther.

When the child suddenly stopped crying, adults who knew his personality well were surprised. The child was distracted, but saw that the child was holding the pendant in his hand and smiling with great satisfaction. The two adults glanced at each other and looked around, but the figure of the woman was long gone.

At this time, April was obediently waiting in the waiting room on the second floor. The pendant was given to her by Qi Yu, who had always felt a little naïve before, but now she gave it away, and the empty satchel had no decoration, and she was suddenly a little unaccustomed.

From time to time, a sweet female voice came from the loudspeaker, announcing the arrival of the train. She waited patiently for a while, and soon after she checked in for her shift. April picked up the box and followed the crowd into the station.

What she didn't know was that at the same moment, a phone call came.

The rumbling of the train came from far and near, and soon it stopped at the designated place. April lined up, quietly waiting for the ticket inspector to check the tickets. The men and women in front of them once passed guò, and soon it was her turn. She gave the train ticket to the staff and was waiting for her to check, but after the staff checked, she glanced at her and asked her for her ID card.

April didn't know why, took out her ID card to verify, only a few seconds later, the other party returned her ID card and train ticket, and said with a strange face: "I'm sorry, you can't get on the train, someone reported that you brought prohibited items." ”

Hearing this, April was stunned, and wanted to explain: "I'm sorry, is there any misunderstanding." ”

"I'm sorry, please let the people behind you get in the car." The staff is official and authentic.

April was stunned, walked to the side in a daze, and silently watched others get into the car until it was empty. Seeing that the last staff member was about to get into the car, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked reluctantly: "Why don't you check my suitcase, there are only some clothes in it." ”

The other party glanced at her, "I'm sorry, this is an order from my superiors, and I can only carry it out." ”

After saying that, she turned around and walked up without hesitation. The train quickly closed its doors, and after two minutes, the familiar roar sounded, and the train restarted for its intended destination.

The long train, in a moment, disappeared from view.

April stood silent for a moment, not at all figuring out how this could happen. On the side of the empty track, the wind was blowing a little cold, and April tightened the scarf around his neck and walked to the safe passage.

She didn't have any idea for a while, she was going to leave today, but she suddenly couldn't leave now, and she didn't know what to do next. Why not buy a train ticket for the next one? But there is no basis for saying anything about prohibited items, which makes her a little worried, for fear that she will be refused to get on the bus again.

April returned to the ticketing hall, the red scrolling subtitles changing every few moments, and she watched quietly for a while, a little hesitant to go to the queue again. Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly heard the vibration of her mobile phone. I found my phone in a cloth bag, and when I opened it, it was an unfamiliar number. She looked at it for a moment, not daring to pick up the phone.

Who will call? Thinking of the emergency just now, her heart suddenly burst, and she just wanted to pick up the phone, but the order was suddenly cut off. At this time, there were already three missed calls on the phone, all of which were from the same person.

She lowered her head, silently looked at the unfamiliar string of numbers, crossed several thoughts in her mind, and finally slowly pressed the dial key. After buffering for a second, a melodious ringtone suddenly came from the phone. The phone was not answered for a long time, and the ringtone continued to play happily, which was an ode to joy.

April didn't react at first, but when she noticed that something was wrong, she took her phone and looked around, and an inexplicable uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

As if she had a heart, she finally turned her head slowly.

On the other side of the line, the man was slender and straight, wearing a long black coat, and his gray plaid scarf half covered his face, revealing only deep eyes and a structured nose.

There was a crowd of people around, but I don't know why, just one glance, her eyes involuntarily fell on him. The unique elegance of temperament is incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere, and more than one person is secretly watching him. In the face of the whispers of the people around him, he did not move, only looked at her in a deep voice.

Silent, silent.

He was waiting for her to walk towards him.
