Chapter 122: The Old Lady in the Valley
Sha Yu calmly returned to his life in a distant city, Gu Li also returned home quietly, and so did Mo Xun, only Du Qiufeng, who was squinting, chose to go north alone and went to the strange city where the separation was located.
March passed quickly, and Lychee's 18th birthday had already passed, but it was too peaceful and boring for her, with no special blessings or the company of relatives and friends, only her, her mother and her brother Qingke were present, and even her father, who had been away from home recently, only sent a gift.
But Lychee didn't mind, she never told Gu Li or Sha Yu about her birthday, and she didn't expect them to remember her birthday, but she regretted that she didn't tell Medusa what day her birthday was, although she had said goodbye to Medusa decisively, but if Medusa knew her birthday, she would definitely send her a blessing!
It's just that this is no longer possible, and Lychee regrets that there is nothing to be done.
I thought that the days would pass as boring as every day now, but I didn't expect that only a few days after her birthday, her mother actually wanted to take her and Qingke on a long trip, as for where to go, Lychee's mother sold a pass, but Lychee is not curious, where else can they go, it is nothing more than a certain leisure vacation in the mountains!
From small to large, although their family doesn't often go out together, they seem to have gone out so many times, but in Lychee's impression, it seems that they go to the mountains every time, which is the kind of barren mountains and mountains where no one can be seen for a few days.
This time, her mother took her and Qingke out alone, probably to the same place.
This time, Lychee, who has always had a very accurate sixth sense, guessed wrong, her mother Liao Yunyao did take them to a valley that seemed to be uncommon people, but this is not a vacation place, there is an old man who lives in a simple place, and that old man is Liao Yunyao's grandmother, that is, Lychee and Qingke's grandmother.
This Grandma Liao is a generation of Grandpa Medusa, but few people remember it after the torrent of the times.
But this is also the nature of this old lady Liao, after all, everyone thinks that there are few people of the generation like Old Man Sha in this era, who would have thought that the people of the same generation as Grandpa Medusa are still alive, and she is also a hidden old woman, which is really not something that the ordinary younger generation can expect.
"Mom, why did you end up in this barren mountain again? I'm about to take the college entrance examination, why do you keep bringing me to this kind of place? ”
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw the towering mountain opposite at a glance, Lychee was full of unhappiness, not that she was unhappy, her current situation really couldn't stand such a deserted world, but Qingke was full of interest, he jumped out of the car and ran to the side of the bush and rocky peak to look for squeaky wild insects.
Lychee's mother patted Lychee on the shoulder and helped her lift a backpack at her feet.
"Don't say such things when you meet someone later!"
"See people? Is there anyone else here? Who is it? Savages? ”
Lychee may really be holding back the fire in her belly, and talking to her mother is full of thorns from beginning to end, but her mother just doesn't match her tone, which makes Lychee feel boring, and she is a lot quieter on the road to the mountain behind.
Qingke also followed the step-by-step upward path under the guidance of her mother, and when she reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was a downing waterfall not far from them, but the water was not big and did not seem to affect the passing.
"Why is there a waterfall here, and the road can't be closed when it's raining heavily!"
"This should be the water on the mountain above, under normal circumstances, there will be no such waterfall, Lychee hurry up, Qingke you too, don't play anymore."
"Mom, where the hell are we going? Shall we go back? I'm going to take the college entrance examination in a few months, what do you think? ”
"This is your adult gift, and this will not delay your college entrance examination, I don't understand your little girl's mind yet, you better save your worries, do what your father told you before, otherwise the place you go to today will not stay for four years, and you will stay here in the future!"
"Mom, what the hell are you and my dad thinking! I disagree! ”
"I don't have a choice, let's go!"
Finally stopped halfway up the mountainside, there was a stone house, and there was a yard, a tall cedar tree was planted in the yard, and a half-aged stood at the door, she saw Lychee and the group and came to help Lychee's mother carry some luggage, and then led Lychee and them into the yard.
It was not the first time she had seen lychees in the mountains, but it was the first time she had seen such a cold yard, there was nothing in the yard except the cedar tree, and even the stone house looked like it hadn't been inhabited for more than ten years.
Qingke didn't care about this, he was very curious, and suddenly broke into the stone house, but soon he ran out crying, crying and shouting, "Wolf dog, big wolf dog, it's terrible!" ”
Poof...... Lychee couldn't help laughing, Qingke wiped her tears and rushed to Lychee's mother's side, and the half-aged-like person just now put down his things and walked into the stone house.
After a while, she led a wolf dog about the same height as Qingke and appeared in front of Lychee and them, "This is Ah Wang, the big wolf dog raised by your grandmother to take care of the family, Yun Yao, grandma said that you will wait here first, and she will come down from the top of the mountain in a while." ”
Lychee was surprised, coming down from the top of the mountain, her grandmother's physical strength is too good, right?
They had only been walking for a long time and were already too tired to walk, why did this old lady go to the top of the mountain.
"Aunt Yao, you don't have to worry about us, I have to come here first, Ah Wang hasn't seen you for a long time?"
Saying that, Lychee's mother squatted down and stroked the big wolf dog with a pair of sharp eyes, Lychee looked at her mother who seemed to have returned to her innocent years and couldn't believe it, what are they here for?
From the noon sun hanging high to the sunset in the afternoon, Qingke began to be sleepy, and the lychee they waited for the grandmother still did not appear, and after waiting for a long time, the sky was almost dark, and a few rays of fire floated from the bottom of the mountain in the distance, someone actually found the mountain, but I didn't expect to really come to find the lychee.
It turned out that after Grandma Tai came down from the top of the mountain, she forgot that there were still people waiting for her halfway up the mountain, she actually went down the mountain alone, and when she went to her family's house to ask where Aunt Yao went, she remembered that someone would go up the mountain to find lychees.
This is really a funny farce, Lychee thought they were going to meet some big guy, but she didn't expect it to be a confused old lady, but Lychee didn't dare to say this in front of her mother and her grandmother, because she soon realized that this grandmother was the master of her mother's family.
And she was also completely arranged here by her mother, during the period before the college entrance examination, as well as the holidays after the college entrance examination, and even the holidays after college, she had to report to her grandmother like Qingke, there would be no exceptions and no exceptions.
"Alas, I knew that it would be better to accept my father's request to go abroad!"
Lychee, who has been in the mountains for almost half a month, was extremely annoyed when she accompanied her grandmother to rest between climbing, in fact, she asked her mother when she could end such an unreasonable arrangement, and her mother actually said something like this to her, "You two can stay here with your grandmother with peace of mind, and we will come to pick you up when Qingke is ten years old." ”
Lychee doesn't understand the meaning of her mother's words, Qingke is ten years old? Wouldn't it be seven or eight years later, when she was twenty-five or sixteen, why did her parents leave their home for so long?
Lychee will not accept such an arrangement easily, but she also seems to underestimate her grandmother's methods, she has tried several times in the past half a month, and each time she was called back by Ngawang without leaving the house for half a mile.
"Well, stay up!"
"Well, stay up......"
