Chapter 121 [Xicheng]
Walked down from the second floor, his hands gently touching something familiar. Gently suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, although he told himself that everything was still moving forward in the original trajectory, but after seeing through a little bit of his father's secret, he couldn't help but rise from the bottom of his heart and feel a little uneasy.
This kind of worry, when I think about it carefully, has a sense of indescribability and incomprehension.
Su Youxuan and her mother were still sitting on the sofa, and they were having a long talk, as if there was an endless topic between them.
"Xiǎo Yun, you're down." Chen Jing stood up at this time, chewing a smile on the corner of her mouth. "Come, you stay here with You Xuan for a while, and I'll cook."
"I know it."
Trying to pretend to be calm, as if nothing had happened, he walked over and nodded. It was also because Chen Jing was in the excitement that Su Youxuan had come, and she didn't notice Ling Yun's abnormality for a while.
If it were normal, she would definitely be able to find some clues.
"You've been driving all the way, and you're definitely hungry."
"Auntie, I miss the pumpkin porridge you made the most." Su Youxuan wrinkled her nose and said as if she was very nostalgic.
"Okay, my aunt will make it for you later."
……
"What's wrong, it seems a little wrong to look at your expression."
When Chen Jing disappeared around the corner, Su Youxuan looked at Ling Yun in surprise, she seemed to see something in Ling Yun's eyes.
"What's the matter? It's just some sentimentality, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, I'm about to graduate from college, and I hope I can grow up quickly. ”
After listening to Ling Yun's words, Su Youxuan nodded, and it was obvious that this sentence really coaxed Su Youxuan. In her eyes, Ling Yun at this time was probably lamenting the inexorable passage of time. This is at the age of twenty-one or twelve, and it is most likely to be sentimental.
In fact, she didn't know that Ling Yun was afraid of her family, and what would happen to her family suddenly. Beneath the swarthy barrel of the cold light, there must be a secret hidden.
He had a thought in his heart that if this secret was kept by his father for the rest of his life, it would be better if it was not revealed. Once revealed, the peaceful life at home will disappear without a trace, and will be replaced by the troubles that follow. Why did Lu have this thought, Ling Yun didn't know what to say, it was just a feeling for him, a feeling that made him convinced.
"Xiǎo Yun, you've grown up. This may not be the first time I've said this, but it's true. Isn't there a sister now, don't worry" Su Youxuan gently patted Ling Yun's shoulder, with a narrow smile on her face.
At that moment, there was a thumping sound.
Originally, there was also a mén bell on the mén, but it had been destroyed long ago because it had not been used for a long time.
"Uncle is here?" Su Youxuan twisted her head to the outside and said with a little question.
"I'll take a look."
Ling Yun stood up, then ran outside.
Opening the mén, a familiar aura came from the surface, raised his head, and met a set of firm and sharp gazes, from xiǎo to Da Lingyun were all under the gaze of this gaze, slowly growing. "Xiǎo Yun, you're back. I heard that You Xuan is also here. ”
"Sister Youxuan is here."
Ling Yun nodded, a smile rising on his face. When he saw his father, his heart, which was still a little uneasy, calmed down in an instant. All along, his father's calm and resolute xìng style gave Ling Yun that sense of relief, as if he felt that his father could resist anything.
In fact, this feeling is probably the consensus of every boy. When we were xiǎo, the first person we worshipped was our father, who felt that he could settle everything one by one, and father has always been synonymous with omnipotence in our hearts.
Perhaps he was stern and never pretended to be sè for us. Maybe on the surface, he never cared much about us, but we knew that in the bottom of my father's heart, he put us in a very important position, but he didn't express it in words.
"You're a rabbit cub, you're in college, and your wings are getting stiffer. Your sister Youxuan has been in Luoyang for so many days, and she doesn't say a word to her family, take it. The gaze on my father's face gradually softened, and the sharp aura like a gallop gradually receded, and he handed over some cold dishes that he had obviously bought when he came to the street.
"You didn't ask me when I called." Ling Yun muttered as he took over the things. ,
"Uncle"
Su Youxuan walked out of the inner mén and stood next to the mén, with her hands behind her back, standing there with a smile.
"You Xuan, okay, you're finally home." The father walked over, the smile on his face brightened, and in his heart, like his mother, he regarded Su Youxuan as his own NV from Xiǎo.
walked up to Su Youxuan, raised his hand, and slapped Su Youxuan's head twice, "Come into the house quickly, today is a happy day, you must stay at home for a few more days when you come this time." "The joy in my father's eyes was completely unfolded.
Ling Yun, who was not far away, his eyes shrunk, his father had not been like this for a long time, and he showed his joy. In front of Ling Yun, he has always played the role of a strict father, although he is not looking forward to his son Jackie Chan, but it allows him to be completely independent and support himself at least until he graduates from college.
At the same time, Ling Yun's gaze also swept over his father's hand. It was obvious that his index finger and thumb were covered with thick calluses. Obviously, this is not because of holding a pen for a long time, but to be able to leave a thick calloon on the index finger and thumb, and in connection with the pistol in the study, it is obvious what is going on.
This effect can only be caused by practicing the gun for a long time.
In fact, the real masters are often hidden in the people, this sentence is not only in, the ancient times when the information was not circulated, but also apply to today. Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary national public official would be a master of deep concealment.
……
In the afternoon, after eating, Ling Yun and Mu Qingyan came out of the house, not to visit anyone, but to Ling Yun, who wanted to give her the surprise.
It was indeed a surprise, Su Youxuan would never have thought that more than ten years ago, the familiar building that she thought had disappeared in the construction of the city would appear in front of her eyes so suddenly.
"This, here"
Su Youxuan's short three words completely explained the surprise in her heart.
"How about cousin, I didn't lie to you, this is a surprise, right?"
Ling Yun took a deep breath, his cousin's performance was completely consistent with what he imagined in his heart. The familiar childhood scene suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of the two people, which was completely different from the original high-rise building like a bamboo shoot after a rain.
If it is said that it represents modernity, it represents the trend of the cháo stream.
Here, it's more like a symbol. The low buildings, the uneven asphalt roads, the dense wires like spider webs, and the trees with a man's arms outstretched all show that there is a history that has been precipitated through the vicissitudes of time.
A city needs more than just a developed economy. Another point is history, the whole process of a city from birth to growth, rise, and prosperity is actually recorded silently by something, if it is destroyed, it is that the destruction of xìng can never be repaired again, and the best thing we can do is to protect it.
The pattern of this city has hardly changed from more than ten years ago.
The two men got out of the car and shuttled through the former street.
Carefully looking at the city, at that moment, Su Youxuan even felt that he had traveled through time and space and returned to the moment in his memory.
On the road, as always. Bustling, in the moment of youth, just like those carefree students around, the two of them walked on this uneven road with their schoolbags on their backs more than once. Heading towards the distant campus. It's just that today, both of them have a feeling of nostalgia for the past, which is completely different from that time.
"I remember you once picked up a lighter there."
"Is there one?"
"Yes, it's down the stairs."
"You must be mistaken, how could I have done such a shameful thing."
……
The conversations on the road are all about some jīmáo garlic skin. Maybe both of them are blushing and unwilling to admit what happened in the past, but there is no doubt that it is the softest part of their hearts.
They all know that those things that they don't want to admit have really happened in this land at some point in the past.
At this time, the cold wind was fierce, and the leaves on the trees had already completely fallen off. Because jiāo is not convenient, there are still thick dead branches and leaves piled up in many corners, and the creaking sound of stepping on it seems to be a jiāo symphony.
At the bend in the distance, a xiǎoxiǎo trolley has been erected, and on the white patent leather, three words are written, tofu brain. This is the favorite thing of two people in childhood. The aroma of jī soup is still chún lingering even when I think about it today. ,
"Hurry up, let's go and see at home." Su Youxuan stood on tiptoe and seemed to be a little impatient, wanting to see that the place where she lived at that time, more than ten years of time, did not dilute her memory.
"Now it's all rented to someone else, and in the past we just looked at it from the sidelines." Ling Yun said this, it is true that the two-story old house that used to be has been rented to others.
"Then I'm going to see it, too."
Su Youxuan pouted, and then walked forward.
"xiǎo cloud?" A voice came from behind, seemingly with a hint of uncertainty.
"Huh?" Turn around and look at the source of the sound.
"Aunt Lan"
Seeing a person standing at a bend not far away, the expression on Ling Yun's face could be said to have suddenly changed in surprise. "You're still living here," he said, turning and walking over.
This so-called Aunt Lan was Ling Yun's neighbor here back then. Many residents moved away like Ling Yun, and Ling Yun didn't expect that he would be able to meet acquaintances this time.
And because Aunt Lan's family often makes tofu brains and then sells them in a trolley, Ling Yun and Su Youxuan often eat and drink at her house without any scruples.
"It's really you, I thought I was looking at huā's eyes? It's only been three or four years since your family moved out, and you've changed so much, if you don't come to see it again, I'm afraid you won't recognize it at all. After speaking, he nodded, "I've gotten taller and my appearance has become more handsome." A few days ago, your mother came to visit and said that you were still in school and didn't see you, and I was very sorry? ”
"It's still Aunt Lan, and you will praise me when you meet."
Hearing Ling Yun's answer, Su Youxuan rolled his eyes, he really didn't hurt him, he said it, it seems that he really looked at the thickness of Ling Yun's face before.
"It's going to be poor." Aunt Lan smiled and patted Ling Yun's shoulder, and then put her eyes on Su Youxuan next to her, "What is this?" ”
"Aunt Lan, I'm You Xuan."
Although the memory of Aunt Lan is not clear, Su Youxuan can still recall the existence of this person, as well as the delicious tofu annoyance.
"Youxuan?" Aunt Lan walked up with surprise on her face, "I said how do you look so familiar, tsk, I have to say, it's really the big eighteen changes of NV, the more it changes, the better it looks?" ”
"Aunt Lan."
"Okay, okay, don't boast. You Xuan came to drink tofu brain, I remember, you used to like to go to my house to drink this. ”
Su Youxuan stuck out her tongue, and it seemed that she really missed that taste.
Isn't it?
……
Two people, standing quietly on the edge, looking inside. Because the house had already been rented to other families, they didn't want to disturb others, but just stood on a high place and looked at the familiar scenes.
The vines that covered the entire yard were planted by Ling Yun and Su Youxuan back then. On the roof, there have been more than once with the people on the opposite floor, playing gunfights, rows of Jianlibao bottles, placed on it, after all the fights, who used the least bullets.
The playmate of his childhood has long been unconsciously gone.
All that's left is the familiar buildings, and the sadness of things being wrong.
Dear playmates, are you still living happily now?
Perhaps, even if we are face to face now, we don't know each other, but that doesn't stop us from nostalgic for the carefree time of playing together.
"Let's go."
Su Youxuan turned around and said.
"Don't look at it?"
"Let's go shopping if we don't see it, I want to see the familiar streets."
After all, the past has passed, and the future should be emphasized. We can remember the past, but we must know that we should not always be immersed in the sadness of the inexorable passage of time, people should look forward, right?
"Then, okay, but sister, before leaving, let's say hello to Aunt Lan first, besides, I still want to drink a bowl of it" Gently tiǎn tiǎn mouth, Ling Yun seemed to be a little unsatisfied.
"How can you do this"
