Chapter Twenty-Six: She Is Not She
One morning in mid-August 1996, when the sun baby had just emerged, 21-year-old Li Li made a bold decision after spending a sleepless night in extreme panic.
He didn't know how much his guesses and suspicions overlapped with the truth, but he had to take the risk.
Lin Na's living expenses in junior high school were squandered by her father, and he had to help her!
His family is also not wealthy, and there is no spare money to provide for Lin Na and her younger brother Lin Hong's living expenses for studying, but he is sure that Zhang Ze's father in the photo is rich.
Only, can this be done? What if he guesses wrong?
There are thousands of people in the world who look similar, Lin Na and Zhang Ze, whether it is a coincidence or another mystery, there is only one truth.
If he admits it, then Lin Na's living expenses should be settled, right?
If he doesn't admit it, then, what will Cortana do?
What if you really guessed wrong?
What to do?
He took a photo of Lin Na and Zhang Ze, and hurriedly walked to Panlong Village, Zhang Changwen's home.
The mood was full of apprehension along the way.
It was Saturday.
In his spare time at home, he would occasionally go to the entrance of the village to join in the fun and listen to the gossip of the neighbors.
He knew that almost every weekend, Zhang Changwen, the cold noodle in Panlong Village, who served an iron rice bowl, would come back.
Visiting his wife and daughter in the countryside.
The photo of Lin Na and Zhang Ze evoked Li Li's long-term memory, like a flood, surging in.
Bit by bit, the secret in Li Li's heart, the secret that he had hooked up with Lin Na's father and promised him that he would never tell anyone, suddenly, there was a gap and a reason that was about to break through the ground.
At the age of six, he thought that Lalagou would be able to entrust the little one in his arms to others, but he found that he accidentally sent her into the Longtan Tiger's Den, allowing her to live an almost purgatory-like life.
The morning sun, which should have been soft and magnificent, fell in Li Li's eyes, but it was so dazzling that he had the illusion that he couldn't open his eyes.
Lin Na, who was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden with her fourth brother on her back; Linna who stood on tiptoe to pour pig food; Lin Na, who rushed home after school to cook; In winter, Linna, who was barefoot, wearing thin clothes, shivering with cold.
On the day of the adoptive mother's funeral, Lin Na, who carried the third brother on her back, pulled the fourth brother, and led the eldest brother, sat on the kitchen threshold and cried Lin Na, who couldn't tear her nose and tears......
Why did he give her to someone else so easily?
However, who is the initiator of Lin Na's suffering?
Li Li, who thought about it all the way, was sad and indignant.
Thinking of the person I was about to meet, I was a little dazed.
When he walked to the green vegetable garden of Zhang Changwen's house and opened the wooden door, a face that was extremely familiar to him was reflected in a blooming wild chrysanthemum bush halfway up the mountainside where the mountains were full of flowers and bushes.
"Cortana! Why are you here? Li Li was startled, thinking that Lin Na had come here from her house.
"Who do you call Linna? Where is Linna? Zhang Ze, who was moved when he heard the sound, quickly flashed from the flowers.
Li Li rubbed his eyes, and only then did he see clearly the girl who looked like Lin Na halfway up the mountain.
Her face shape and facial features look too much like Lin Na, but she is not her.
The girl has a slim figure, and she is a head taller than Linna! The face is round and shiny, and the complexion is red and pink.
Standing among the flowers, like a fairy, out of the dust.
Li Li was stunned for a moment.
It seems that I have never seen such a beautiful woman in the world.
"You, your name is Zhang Ze?" He asked tentatively.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Zhang Ze slowly walked down from the mountainside.
She wore a pink embroidered dress with satin-like green silk scattered around her waist.
Holding the hem of his skirt in both hands, he slowly walked towards Li Li.
Graceful, gait.
Every step she took, Li Li's heart "pounded".
"My name is Li Li, from Yamaguchi Village! Look, I still have a picture of you! Li Li hurriedly took out the photo of Lin Na and Zhang Ze from his trouser pocket.
"Li Li, ...... of Yamaguchi Village" As he spoke, Zhang Ze had already walked up to Li Li and reached out to grab the photo in his hand.
Li Lifang saw her face clearly.
No wonder she walked so slowly when she walked down the mountain, it turned out that she didn't have shoes on!
Looking at the girl in front of him who was wearing a long skirt but was barefoot, Li Li suddenly felt very funny, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Oh, you carry a picture of Linna with you, let's say, do you have a crush on her?"
Zhang Ze saw at a glance that the photo was standing with Lin Na when she first met her a few years ago
Under the banyan tree at school, the one they asked the photographer to take for them.
Why did the photo of her and Lin Na fall into the hands of the big boy in front of him?
Thinking of the young man standing opposite her, he has a lofty spirit, an extraordinary temperament, and is in the same village as Lin Na, so he naturally likes Lin Na, otherwise who would carry someone else's photo with him!
Just like she likes Huang Rihua and Ma Jingtao, she has to pester her mother to give pocket money, go to the town to buy their photos, and paste them all over the notebook and the entire wall of the room.
"Linna, I like her? Where did you think of it? I was holding the photo and was thinking ......"
I want to show it to your dad.
I wanted to confirm one thing to him.
Li Li did not say the last two sentences.
"I just saw you sneaking into my garden, what do you want to do? You can't be trying to steal, right? ”
Zhang Ze looked at him with a questioning expression.
The girl in front of him was almost up to his shoulders.
Bright eyes and bright teeth, green eyebrows such as Dai, Dan lips outward, shoulders such as shaved, waist like a plain.
Li Li sank again.
All the good things in the world seem to gather on her.
If she says he's stealing, he's stealing.
It's just that what he wants to steal is not in the garden.
Just across from him.
"It's not fun to steal vegetables! I won't talk to you, I have to visit my grandmother. Take it easy, be careful that my dad calls for someone to catch you. ”
Zhang Ze returned the photo to Li Li and turned around to walk towards the other side.
"Wait, which one did you just say you were visiting?" Li Li closed the wooden door and followed Zhang Ze closely.
"My grandmother! She was sick. ”
