Chapter Twenty-Four: The Last Side
Another beautiful twilight is coming. Xu Wenlong quickly prepared the food for the next day, went down to the river to take a bath and rinse his mouth, and then sat upright in the carefully cleaned oil mill, scratching his ears and cheeks and waiting for Yang Yingying's arrival.
"I don't know what song she'll sing for herself tonight!" He smiled and muttered to himself.
Yang Yingying loves to sing, especially the kind of songs with soothing and beautiful melodies, poignant and romantic lyrics. The singing voice is soft and melodious, and there is a sense of intoxication that stirs the heart and makes people shock. In particular, the song "Your Eyes", which expresses the sadness and parting of the lover and the bitter lovesickness, is sung with deep affection, poignant and soft, and the people who listen to the straight teaching are drunk and burst into tears.
"Looking into your eyes, kissing your tears, where do a thousand words begin...... Your eyes are just like a pool of clear water, deep and clear, which makes me haunted by dreams and unforgettable...... Your eyes are like a pearl, shining brightly, and you will sleep with me through the long night......"
Every time she sings this song, Xu Wenlong will listen to it like a fascination and a dream, as if he is also holding hands with his lover and looking at tears, speechless and choking, thinking of his lover from the window, and unable to sleep all night. It's really sad, sad and sad, although he has never been in love, and he doesn't know what it's like to be in love.
Xu Wenlong closed his eyes slightly, humming the sad song softly, waiting with a complicated and nervous mood, waiting...... However, the song was sung dozens of times, and Fang Bu paced countless laps, but the familiar footsteps never sounded.
"Probably something delayed, or accidentally fell asleep." Xu Wenlong waited to no avail, and finally only silently guessed, "After all, I have been staying late every day for this period of time, how can ordinary people not be sleepy?" And he is not related to her, let alone has no special relationship, not to mention that he also killed her only pet goose. It's good to be able to deliver meals for free several times, and you shouldn't have other harsh demands on people! ”
Yes, how can a girl who has never known her life and met in Pingshui not have something to do for herself? What's the reason why the three watches come out in the middle of the night every day to chat with you and sing for you? Besides, girls are naturally curious, they like to chase new things, and when they are enthusiastic, they leave everything behind and ignore everything as if nothing had happened. But there is one thing that is incredible: how can a delicate and fresh little girl run out to chat with herself every night? Did you sneak out without telling your family? Didn't her mom and dad know?
Xu Wenlong hastily ate a few roasted field chickens, leaned quietly on the corner of the wall with an empty and lost heart, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously. After all, walking all day during the day, dozens of miles back and forth, anyone will be tired, and anyone will be tired.
In a trance, Xu Wenlong only felt that he walked out of the broken oil mill leisurely, came to the small river in a daze, and accidentally found that this small river, which was as tame as a sheep on weekdays, suddenly became a howling wind, and the vicious waves were monstrous, rolling up layers of huge waves like mountains, roaring and rushing away, and then rumbling and rolling upside down, and getting rid of a fierce tiger that chose people to eat......
"Did it rain last night? Why did the creek swell like this? He tried his best to think about it, desperately remembering.
Suddenly, a girl wrapped in silver and her skirt fluttered from the sky, standing on the opposite bank with a charming smile, her jade arm gently waved at Xu Wenlong and called "Ali, Ali......"
Xu Wenlong's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his head and responded: "Poor, pitiful, how can you be there......"
At this moment, a hare as big as a calf suddenly jumped out, staring at Yang Yingying with blood-red eyes and teeth and claws......
"Danger, run." Xu Wenlong was shocked, and in a hurry, he jumped into the river, and swam desperately to the opposite bank with his hands and feet......
However, it was late, everything was late. The frightened Yang Yingying slipped under her feet, plunged into the river on one side of her body, and was swept away by the waves in an instant......
The river was surging and unstoppable, and the huge waves rolled up into the sky and roared. A wall of water as high as a mountain rushed in, and pounced fiercely with the momentum of thunder, and Mount Tai smashed into Xu Wenlong, who was swimming in the water to save people......
Xu Wenlong was not afraid, he still swam forward desperately, still anxious to look around...... Seeing that she was about to approach Yang Yingying, who was popping out of her head, she unexpectedly another wave hit her head and rumbled towards her who was exhausted......
Xu Wenlong shouted, jumped at the last moment, stretched out his strong and powerful hand, and grabbed Yang Yingying, who was at stake in life and death......
In an instant, the river miraculously became calm, rippling blue waves, like a girl to restore tranquility and grace. The earth is empty, quiet, the moonlight is like water, the insects are chirping, a romantic and sultry wonderful scene.
Looking at the magical changes around him, Xu Wenlong was dumbfounded and surprised. What's going on? Why is this happening? Look at Yang Yingying in her arms again, her face is flushed, her eyes are blurred, and she is looking at herself with affection......
Xu Wenlong was extremely frightened and confused, and hugged Yang Yingying tightly and did not let go, for fear that she would be swept away by the big waves in a blink of an eye.
Yang Yingying smiled, holding Xu Wenlong with her backhand and showing a mysterious smile.
Heaven and earth are infinite, the affection is long, the eyes are facing each other, and the hearts are connected. The two of them hugged each other tightly, completely forgetting everything in heaven and earth......
Suddenly, an instinctive throbbing electric current spread throughout the body, instantly startling Xu Wenlong, who was intoxicated. He opened his eyes suddenly, looking back and forth. But where are the turbulent waves? Where is there any angry hare? There is no Yang Yingying who is a bird. However, the sound of insects and frogs outside came and went, and it was really happy.
It turned out to be a dream, a ridiculous and unbelievable dream.
"Hell," Xu Wenlong patted his head and muttered with a look of shame, "How can you have such a dream?" It's just inexplicable and unreasonable. A girl who is as beautiful as a flower and jade and as beautiful as a fairy, how can she like a poor boy who lives in an oil mill and has no fixed place? Isn't this a joke that is smiling and generous, and slippery in the world? Besides, he is only sixteen years old, innocent, ignorant and ignorant, and knows what love and what love? It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, and there is no way to punish the evil thoughts in my heart if I hold my mouth for three hundred. ”
Xu Wenlong slapped himself a few times, and then lazily changed his sleeping position, intending to continue sleeping.
Suddenly, there was a series of chaotic and hurried footsteps outside the oil mill, accompanied by a vague sound of speech. It seems that there are quite a few people, and they are hurrying in the direction of the oil mill.
Xu Wenlong was startled, stood up suddenly, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movement outside. It's strange, who will come to this dilapidated and desolate place in the middle of the night? Why do you want to come to this place of hatred between people and demons? Could it be...... The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, the more frightened he became, his heart pounded, and his face changed color slightly.
The footsteps became louder and more urgent, and finally stopped, probably standing on the lawn at the door. Soon, a familiar and anxious voice sounded outside the oil mill.
"Ali...... Ali, are you there......"
"It's Yingying!" Xu Wenlong was frightened and didn't have time to think about it, and quickly ran out of the oil mill like a whirlwind......
When he went out, by the bright moonlight, Xu Wenlong found that there were six or seven young men standing on the lawn outside the door. They were noisy and screaming. The costumes are new and the costumes are weird. The hair is full of bells and whistles, and the earrings are tinkling. It's obviously a group of idle and unprofessional thugs. One of them, a short and fat man dressed in black, stood the most conspicuous and stood the farthest. Carrying his hands behind his back and not saying a word, his horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes were particularly terrifying, and he seemed to be the leader of this group.
At this time, a sharp shout suddenly lit up in the crowd: "Fuck, it turned out to be a male, and Lao Tzukong was happy." "The attitude is presumptuous and frivolous, and it is very rude.
A red-haired man immediately followed and shouted, "Is this the Ali you want to see for the last time?" Mom, play with Lao Tzu? We thought it was a young and beautiful girl, but it turned out to be a homeless man begging for food and drink. Hahaha......"
"Hahaha......" The gangsters laughed unscrupulously, sneering at Yang Yingying, and didn't take Xu Wenlong in his eyes at all.
Xu Wenlong was not in a hurry or impatient, as if he had not heard of it, he walked towards Yang Yingying calmly, frowned and asked her, "Yingying, what happened?" Who are they? Why do this to you? ”
Yang Yingying screamed, broke free from the pull of the two fancy men, ran to Xu Wenlong like crazy, grabbed his hands, and said with tears and pain: "These days...... I'm really happy to be with you these days, I'm really happy, I'm ...... I really like you. It's a pity...... It's just a pity that I'm a hard-working person...... From now on...... I'll never see you again. Please ...... Please take care of yourself......"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Wenlong was taken aback, hurriedly hugged Yang Yingying's shoulders, shook her vigorously and asked, "What's wrong with you?" You're so young, why do you say such a thing......"
Yang Yingying shook her head with sad eyes, tears rippled but unusually calm and replied: "Don't ask why, let alone care about my business." Anyway, I'm here to see you one last time tonight. You...... You must take care of yourself in the future, and you must be kind to yourself! After speaking, she mustered up the courage to raise her head and stared at Xu Wenlong with infinite sadness and infinite sorrow. Staring at this strange and familiar big brother who has given him infinite peace and infinite joy, staring at this strange and familiar big brother who met in the water but let himself dream.
The man in black became impatient and pursed his lips and snorted heavily.
When the gangsters heard this, they immediately tore apart their voices and started to make noise in unison......
"Less here, mother-in-law. People have seen it, and the words have been spoken, what do you still want to rub ......?"
"Where did you come from, bastard, is it really dead? Beat him up ......"
"I said, girl, you really don't know what to do. How good it is to follow our Hua Ge, eat fragrant and drink spicy, spend all day and drink, sing songs every night, how happy and happy you are. Let's go, come home with us......"
Xu Wenlong sneered, and suddenly understood eight or nine points in his heart. He glared at the little thug who was gearing up, and said to Yang Yingying calmly, "Tell me, did they bully you?" Are they persecuting you? Don't panic, let alone be afraid, with me here, I will definitely help you. ”
"Don't, don't, don't." Yang Yingying was shocked, and hurriedly shook her head to stop Xu Wenlong and said, "It's none of your business, you can't solve it, they are very fierce." After speaking, a trace of joy and satisfaction rose on her face, and her eyes were still staring at Xu Wenlong with fascination, as if she wanted to imprint his voice and appearance in her mind and imprint it on the tip of her heart.
Xu Wenlong smiled and comforted Yang Yingying softly: "It's okay, just tell me." They don't dare to hurt me, and they can't hurt me. ”
"No, I don't allow you to mind my business, please get out of here immediately." Yang Yingying gritted her teeth, let go of Xu Wenlong's hands ruthlessly, turned her head to look at the short and fat man not far away, and said word by word with a cold face, "Qi Shaohua, you are an old thief with a beast's heart, if you want to beat me, go dream!" As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand suddenly waved, and he didn't know where to take out a pair of cold and shining scissors, and stabbed them into his heart without hesitation......
