754. Farewell
The special car of the bureau seat quickly sent Ling Yunpeng and them to the No. 3 pier by the Jialing River, and then the driver went home.
Ling Yunpeng raised his hand and looked at the time, it was already eleven fifty, he looked at the dock, the Funing freighter was already moored on the dock, and there was a middle-aged man standing by the dock, Ling Yunpeng guessed that he should be Captain Lou.
Ling Yunpeng walked over and shook hands with Captain Lou: "You are Captain Lou, right?" β
"You're Captain Ling, aren't you? The bureau has already told me that our freighter is just going to Wuhan, and it won't be long before we leave the ship, so you should get on board quickly. β
"Okay, I'll get them on board."
Ling Yunpeng walked back to Qin Shouyi and them: "The boat is about to leave, you guys should get on the boat first!" β
"What about you?" Qin Shouyi saw Ling Yunpeng's restless appearance, and knew that he was waiting for Luo Xiaofang, but the boat was about to leave, and before he saw Luo Xiaofang's figure, he asked with concern.
"I'll wait for Ah Fang." Ling Yunpeng anxiously raised his hand to look at his watch.
"Why hasn't Ah Fang come yet? I made it clear to her, Pier Three, she couldn't be in the wrong place, right? Fu Xinghan was also anxious.
"Ah Fang must have come by rickshaw, two legs are better than four wheels, you guys get on the boat first, don't let Lou Boat wait for a long time, I'll be there in five minutes." Ling Yunpeng urged the others to hurry up and get on the boat.
Qin Shouyi, Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui nodded, and the three of them walked towards the Funing freighter.
Ling Yunpeng looked around, looking for Luo Xiaofang's figure.
This sudden task caught everyone a little off guard, and Ling Yunpeng didn't expect that he was about to say goodbye to her after he and Luo Xiaofang had just warmed up, Cang Tian really likes to play tricks on people, the so-called gathering and dispersing will eventually come and go, and it has always been incomprehensible.
Suddenly, Ling Yunpeng's eyes lit up, and he saw a rickshaw coming quickly in the direction of the dock, and a young girl wearing a red silk scarf was sitting on the car, which was Luo Xiaofang.
After Luo Xiaofang paid for the car, he hurriedly ran towards Ling Yunpeng, and Ling Yunpeng hurriedly ran forward to greet him.
"Brother Ling, I didn't expect you to receive the task so soon, are you leaving?" Because of the impatience, because of the uneasy mood, Luo Xiaofang was panting, her chest was rising and falling violently, her hands tightly held Ling Yunpeng's hand, and asked eagerly.
Ling Yunpeng nodded: "Ah Fang, we have just received the task, but don't worry, we will be back soon." β
"Is this mission dangerous?" Luo Xiaofang held Ling Yunpeng's hand tightly, her eyes were full of worry, in fact, she knew that her problem was actually superfluous, which of the tasks Ling Yunpeng and they were going to complete was not full of danger?
Ling Yunpeng could feel that Luo Xiaofang was trembling all over, of course he knew that she was nervous, her worries were like frying, her worries were worried, her love was reluctant, Ling Yunpeng took Luo Xiaofang into his arms: "Ah Fang, don't worry about me, I will definitely come back safely." β
The two hugged each other tightly, and each could hear each other's heartbeats.
Luo Xiaofang looked at Ling Yunpeng's eyes, and those beautiful eyes flashed with tears: "Brother Ling, you have to count when you speak, you must return to my side safely." β
Ling Yunpeng nodded, squeezing out a smile, but this smile could not dispel Luo Xiaofang's worries, but he had to pretend to be relaxed, so as not to make Luo Xiaofang's already panicked mood worse.
"Then let's pull a hook!" Ling Yunpeng stretched out the little finger of his right hand and smiled at Luo Xiaofang.
Luo Xiaofang's face finally showed a smile, she stretched out the little finger of her right hand, the two fingers were tightly hooked together, and the two hearts were also tightly tied together, inseparable from each other.
"Brother Ling, I believe that you will definitely return to me unscathed." Luo Xiaofang said, took off a white and flawless mutton fat jade pendant from his neck, and stuffed it into Ling Yunpeng's palm: "Brother Ling, this is the talisman that my mother left me, you can wear it, it will definitely bless you with peace and security, no disasters and no difficulties." β
Ling Yunpeng unfolded his palm and looked at the pendant of the oval sheep fat jade in his palm, which was as white as snow, the front of the pendant was engraved with the word "Fang" in a seal body, and the back of the pendant was engraved with a bird flying in the clouds. The word "Fang" is obviously Luo Xiaofang's mother asked the craftsman to engrave her daughter's name on this precious mutton fat jade pendant, and the pattern on the back undoubtedly refers to Ling Yunpeng, which Luo Xiaofang found someone to specially engrave on the back of the mutton fat jade. This love speaks for itself.
Luo Xiaofang put the jade pendant on Ling Yunpeng's neck, tears rolling in her eyes: "Brother Ling, I'll wait for you to come back." β
Ling Yunpeng pressed his lips tightly to Luo Xiaofang's lips, kissed her, and then with red eyes, he resolutely turned around and left, and tears came out of his eyes the moment he turned his back.
Luo Xiaofang looked at Ling Yunpeng's lonely back, her heart was like a knife, and tears hung on her cheeks like pearls with broken threads.
Although Luo Xiaofang has imagined many versions of saying goodbye to Ling Yunpeng, he should behave freely, he should smile and say goodbye to Ling Yunpeng, he should not cry, and he should leave his most beautiful side to Ling Yunpeng. But when this moment of separation came, Luo Xiaofang didn't have that kind of freedom at all, she knew that maybe this goodbye was the difference between life and death, maybe this kiss was the last kiss. Although she showed Ling Yunpeng that she was not as weak as she looked on the outside, her heart was still very strong, but at this moment, Luo Xiaofang realized that she was a little woman after all, it was difficult for her to reach that state, she waved her hand to her lover in a chic manner, without taking away a cloud, and the tears were still flowing like a burst of embankment after all, and she couldn't help herself.
Luo Xiaofang watched Ling Yunpeng board the freighter, the freighter sounded the whistle and slowly left the dock, Luo Xiaofang saw Ling Yunpeng standing at the stern, waved her hand constantly, she untied the red silk scarf from her neck and waved it towards the freighter.
At this time, the fog rose, the freighter gradually moved away, Luo Xiaofang followed the freighter, running along the shore, waving a red silk scarf as he ran, the freighter drove farther and farther, becoming smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, Luo Xiaofang still continued to chase along the small hill on the shore, waving, chasing, waving, until the freighter completely disappeared into a fog.
Luo Xiaofang stood on the hill, dazed, her heart seemed to have been hollowed out, standing there like a clay sculpture and wood carving, and Ling Yunpeng's figure was in front of her: the humble gentleman's conversation when they first met; the sly and shrewd smile on the way to Lead's Pharmacy when he tricked her into going to Lead's Pharmacy; the naΓ―ve attitude of being in a hurry when I breastfed Kotaro for the first time; the eloquence of persuading Liu Sanye; When facing Kurata, he was neither humble nor arrogant; the heroic spirit of covering the retreat of the brothers; the calm and resolute gaze when facing the pursuit of the Japanese army; and the shyness, crampedness, gentleness, and thoughtfulness shown in the face of her; His wisdom, his masculinity, his perseverance, his domineering, his forbearance, his tolerance, and his warmth made her deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.
Suddenly, Luo Xiaofang's ears sounded a high-pitched and passionate boatman's horn, and the distant song echoed in the mountains......
