Chapter 288: The Girl That Day
In the more than 20 days that Xiao Yeyang stayed in Linze County, a fairly sensational thing happened in Linze County.
There is an old man surnamed Ke in Linze County, the old man used to be a well-known writer in Qingbei Province, has a high reputation in the domestic literary circles, is good at writing local folk stories, and has won domestic awards.
Because of this old man, Lin Zexian has a lot of fame in China, and that quite sensational thing has something to do with this old man.
The old man's daughter, who once studied at the Yenching Academy of Arts, specialized in Chinese painting, has a high talent and extraordinary achievements, coupled with her elegant appearance and the background of a scholarly family, she was famous in Qingbei Province and was known as a peerless talent.
However, this talented woman named Ke Yu died in a car accident in the provincial capital on August 13 at the age of 32.
The old man was grief-stricken when he heard the news, fainted several times, and the tragedy of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man made the whole Linze County feel the breath of grief, and there were rumors in the streets and alleys, some people said that the woman's death was related to her husband, and the two seemed to have quarreled on the day of the incident, and some people said that this was a murder case that had been premeditated for a long time.
There are different opinions but no real evidence, and people only remember the four words in their hearts.
According to the old man's wishes, he wants to bury his daughter next to his deceased wife, and in the future he will be buried there when he turns into loess.
So, on August 15, Ke Yu's body went to Linze County to hold a funeral.
It was a full moon reunion, but life and death were separated forever!
The funeral was not carried out according to the traditional customs of Linze County, and too many relatives and friends were not invited, and the ceremony was very simple, the old man and Ke Yu's husband kept a vigil for one night, and then went directly to the ground the next day.
The old man said that his daughter must have been very painful and unwilling, so don't let her suffer more.
It is said that on the day of the burial, the county magistrate and the secretary of the county party committee of Linze County spontaneously went to condole, and there were also many big people from the provincial capital, after all, the old man's fame was too great, and such a human tragedy happened to him, which could not help but attract attention.
Many people in Linze County also went to worship out of curiosity and sympathy, and although Ye Mingze and Li Min did not know this old writer, they were saddened by such a thing and followed the elders of the Ye family to worship.
Although these things were very heavy, for Xiao Yeyang at that time, he still didn't understand what death was.
He just heard from his family that there was an old grandfather's daughter who went to heaven, which was a very sad thing, and all the juniors were not allowed to talk nonsense, nor were they allowed to chew the root of their tongues casually, otherwise they would be beaten.
Of course, Ye Ling can't talk nonsense, even if he wants to discuss it, he has no object, who let him have no friends.
And, Shouldn't going to heaven be a good thing? Why be sad?
Ye Jue didn't understand, he didn't want to think about these things, he was here to enjoy the summer vacation, and he was going home from school in ten days, he couldn't waste his precious time.
Therefore, on the fifteenth day of August, Ye Ling went to the creek he was familiar with as usual, and then planned to go to the orchard in the back mountain in the afternoon.
However, when Ye Jue came to the river, he unexpectedly found that there was a girl standing on the bank of the river upstream in front of him.
Because there are many lakes in Linze County, the county is also crisscrossed by rivers, and the place where Ye Ling has been playing for a long time is a relatively remote corner, and he is usually the only one who plays alone, so the appearance of this girl is easy to attract attention.
But the girl is standing in the dangerous upstream, where the river is very deep, if a child falls into it, it is easy to drown, Ye Ling never approached that place under the command of his parents, and stayed in the place where the water is gentle downstream, the river here is not less than his waist, it is very safe.
Looking at the girl, Ye Jue was extremely curious, so he quietly walked over, he wanted to see if the girl had any novel ways to play.
As a result, when he leaned over, he found that this girl was none other than Zhang Keer, who had become friends with him in the provincial capital.
After leaving the provincial capital, Ye Jue thought that he would never see Zhang Ke'er again, and he was lost for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet here, it turned out that Ke'er was also from Linze County?
"Ke'er—" Ye Ling shouted excitedly.
The girl on the riverbank turned her head, her expression was very sad and painful, her eyes were red as if she had cried, her eyes widened when she saw Ye Jue, obviously a little surprised, and pointed at him and said, "It's you, Ye Jue-"
"It's me, Ke'er, you remember my name!"
The immature little poplar didn't notice Ke'er's strange appearance at all, and only cared about her own happiness, and quickened her pace to push away the weeds and rush to the riverbank.
Keer was wearing a pure white dress, with two cute pigtails, and a pair of small red leather shoes on her feet, which looked very pure and moving, whenever the breeze blew and her hair danced with the skirt, Ye Jue felt happy, a little shy and a little happy.
"Ke'er, do you live here too?"
"Well, are you too?" Kerr's expression gradually changed from surprise to loneliness, staring at the flowing river below, as if there was some tempting treasure in it that attracted her.
Ye Jue also looked at the surface of the river, and said very nervously: "Ke'er, you can't play here, my mother said that the river here is very deep, if you fall down, you will drown, let's go down and play, there are a lot of beautiful stones in it, let's go." ”
Ke'er was silent, there was no sign of movement, Ye Ling thought that Ke'er was unwilling to play, and she was nervous and worried.
"Ke'er, why don't we pick mulberries, there's a big mulberry tree over there, I'm going to climb the tree fast, can I go play?"
"I'm not going, you can go play by yourself......" Ke'er said flatly.
Ye Jue felt that he was like a raging flame, and after seeing Ke'er, it became even hotter, but there was no way to burn this pool of stagnant water.
Seeing Ke'er's distraught and sad appearance, Xiao Yeyang didn't know what he was thinking in his heart at the time, anyway, he suddenly felt a little nameless fear and nervousness, grabbed Ke'er's wrist, and said tremblingly: "Ke'er, do you want to jump into the river?" No, let's go—"
Ke'er turned her head to look at Ye Ling in shock, looking at his scared and concerned eyes, only to feel more bitter, and cry out.
Ye Ling frightened Ke'er's movements, and he thought that he grabbed Ke'er's hand and made Ke'er angry, because when the physical education teacher asked everyone to play games before, Xiao Yeyang cried because he held the hand of the girl next to him.
This made Xiao Yeyang extremely sad, and he ...... Your hands are clean, why is that?
Xiao Yeyang hurriedly let go of his hand, feeling lost and sad, feeling that his nose was sour, and tears were rolling in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't want to let himself cry, so he could only keep sobbing.
Maybe Xiao Yeyang's voice was too loud, but then Ke'er stopped her movements and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't worry about it, if you hate me, just say it, and I won't play with you anymore-"
As he spoke, the extremely sad Xiao Yeyang turned around and was about to leave, but Ke'er behind him hurriedly grabbed his hand: "I don't hate you, why are you crying?" ”
"I didn't cry, a man doesn't cry." Ye Ling held back her tears and didn't let herself make any sound.
"Then you take me to find a beautiful stone and pick mulberries—"
"Are you going to play?"
"Go, I'll take me if you take me, and if you don't want to take me there, I'll go home."
"Then let's go play."
Xiao Yeyang immediately threw the sadness and sadness just now to the back of his mind, took Ke'er's hand and ran downstream, the river water was cool and clean, and you could see the pebbles of different colors and strange shapes inside, shining under the refraction of the sun, dyeing the river surface with rainbow colors.
"It's so pretty-"
"yes, this is my favorite place, and there are little fish, you take off your shoes, and we're sure to catch a fish together."
"Hmm!"
Ke'er nodded vigorously, stepped barefoot into the cool river water, and suddenly a refreshing feeling spread throughout the body, and even suppressed the sadness in the bottom of his heart.
The two little ones stepped on the river freely, splashing everywhere, wetting the skirt but washing their hearts.
"Let's go pick mulberries—"
Standing under the lush and huge mulberry tree, Ye Ling struggled to climb up, but the trunk was too straight and difficult to borrow, and he didn't go up several times, Xiao Yeyang only felt that his face was flushed, which was too embarrassing.
"I'll come—"
Ke'er began to run up in small leather shoes, her movements were much more flexible than Ye Ling, although it was laborious, but she could climb up, the wind blew, the girl's skirt flew up, and Ye Ling, who was standing below and watching, saw the little pink inside.
"Pervert-" Ke'er covered the hem of her skirt, blushed, and threw the mulberry in her hand on Ye Xuan's head, and a purple red spread.
After picking mulberries, the two crossed the river and ran hand in hand to the orchard in the back mountain, where the owner was really not at home, and the two smiled happily like cunning little foxes, but before they could go up the tree, they saw the fierce black wolf dog next to them.
"Wang-"
"Ah, Ye Jue, run, it's going to bite your ass-"
"Ke'er, Ke'er save me, wait for me, ahhh......h
In the end, fortunately, Ke'er picked up the stones on the side of the road and drove away the wolf dog, otherwise Xiao Yeyang was afraid that he would not be able to escape the disaster.
"Hey, are you lying to me, didn't you say you can climb trees quickly? It's not fast at all, and it's a slow run......" Kerr said, pouting.
"yes, I'm sorry......"
"Forget it, I'm not unhappy, but I feel very comfortable, I haven't been so happy for a long time."
"Me too—"
"So where do we go next? I remember there was a watermelon patch over there, and I wanted to eat watermelon. ”
"I want to too, but what if there's a dog?"
"What are you afraid of, I'll protect you!"
"Okay, thank you Kerr-"
In the middle of summer, the grass is green, and in this peaceful and beautiful land, two fragile hearts gradually approach, and then become no longer lonely and ordinary.
