Chapter 24: No Return
This door really hasn't been opened for a long time, and Bai Ling stood at the door for a long time before pushing the door open.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, this is obviously not a place to live, but more like a showroom, a spacious room, with a lot of things, each of which looks like it is some years old.
Bai Ling walked over slowly, looking at the objects here in turn, one by one, gently brushing them over.
"Alright, fate, that's it! In the next life, don't have any more problems with me. ”
Bai Ling walked to the center and picked up the photo frame that was placed in the most conspicuous position, and on the photo above were two young women of the same age.
The corners of Bai Ling's mouth lifted and he smiled.
Bai Ling put the photo back in its original position and carefully placed it in place.
Bai Ling walked towards the window, gently pushed open the wooden window, and looked at the scenery of birds and flowers outside.
"I'm really reluctant to give up this familiar place."
Leng Qingyu had been waiting on the first floor, watching the time pass minute by minute, but he didn't see Bai Ling's figure for a long time.
Leng Qingyu couldn't stay any longer, got up and looked around, observing the quaint decoration style.
Leng Qingyu looked at the ornaments on the first floor and found that many things seemed to be hundreds of years old.
Leng Qingyu stumbled by mistake, and when he walked, he actually saw the back door of this small building, out of curiosity, Leng Qingyu pushed open the back door and walked out.
Although he was reluctant, Bai Ling finally chose to put it down, and after coming down from the upstairs, Bai Ling actually forgot about Leng Qingyu's existence and walked straight to the small door at the back.
Bai Ling's steps were very slow, very slow, he went out through the small door at the back, all the way forward, and walked less than three hundred meters, there was a small exquisite pavilion.
The architectural style of this small pavilion is the same as that of this three-storey building, which is antique and does not look like a product of this era at all.
Bai Ling walked slowly into the pavilion, looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, sat elegantly against the railing, and gently closed his eyes.
Leng Qingyu was walking around casually, but as he walked, he suddenly noticed that there was a pavilion in front of him, and he wanted to go over to take a look, but he happened to bump into Bai Ling who was resting in the pavilion.
Leng Qingyu stood not far away, looking at Bai Ling, she seemed to be one with this beautiful scene, the beauty was like a painting, he couldn't bear to disturb it.
It's just that although Leng Qingyu didn't break the tranquility, he was ruined by a little squirrel.
Not long after Bai Ling sat down, another little squirrel jumped all the way over, and even directly reached Bai Ling's shoulder.
Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the little squirrel, and said in a gentle voice, "During this time, I won't come to see you, my time is almost here, and the next time I come back, I don't know when it will be." ”
After Bai Ling finished speaking, the little squirrel squeaked a few times, and Bai Ling smiled weakly.
"Who knows!" Bai Ling's voice paused, and suddenly added, "Maybe, I won't come back in the future." ”
Leng Qingyu stood a little far away, and could only hear Bai Ling talking, but he couldn't hear what she was saying at all, so he could only watch anxiously.
The little squirrel stopped croaking, jumped off Bai Ling's shoulder, stood opposite Bai Ling, and looked up at her like this.
Bai Ling looked at the woods in the distance, a little distracted, and slowly stood up after a while, "I still can't let go after all, but I don't want others to accompany me anymore." ”
After Bai Ling finished speaking, he didn't look back, didn't look at the scenery again, and went straight ahead.
Leng Qingyu didn't know why, and he didn't know what he was afraid of, in short, he instinctively avoided it and didn't let Bai Ling see him.
In fact, Leng Qingyu heard the last sentence, but he didn't understand it.
Bai Ling returned to the familiar three-story building, this time, Bai Ling did not go upstairs, but just stood in the living room on the first floor, looking around every inch here.
She is too familiar with every flower, grass, scene and object here, but today, she finally has to say goodbye here.
Seeing Bai Ling return, Leng Qingyu also followed closely and walked back from the small door at the back, and as soon as he entered, he saw Bai Ling standing in the center of the first floor.
Leng Qingyu walked over and looked at such a white spirit, feeling very unfamiliar, but there was an indescribable familiarity, and there was more distress in his heart than what he was born for.
"You're alright?"
Bai Ling turned his head sideways, and when he saw Leng Qingyu, he remembered that he didn't come alone today.
"It's okay, it's just that I look at the place where I grew up, and I'm a little reluctant."
Leng Qingyu took a few more steps towards Bai Ling, and followed her gaze to look here, "When you want to come, I will accompany you at any time." ”
"No, my grandmother is no longer here, and this is no longer my home, if I don't go back, I won't be able to come back in the future." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he turned around very resolutely and left without looking back.
Leng Qingyu was stunned for a moment, such a decision made him feel a bad feeling in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Leng Qingyu could feel Bai Ling's abnormality today, but he didn't know what to say, on the way back, all he could do was drive quietly.
After returning from the verdant mountain, Bai Ling had been locked in the house for three whole days, and he could only see her every day at noon, when Leng Qingyu knocked on the door to deliver lunch.
Because he was worried about Bai Ling's state, Leng Qingyu didn't go anywhere in the past three days, and put down all his work, so he guarded her at home, for fear that something would go wrong.
Three days, not long, not short, in these three days, grandma's funeral has ended, at the request of grandma's life, her funeral is very simple, no one was notified, and no big deal was done.
At the funeral, there was only the family, but the family members were gone, but only Bai Ling was missing.
Because of this, Bai Lingshuang wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words, after all, the most painful thing for her grandmother was Bai Ling, but she didn't even show up on the last trip, but when she saw Bai Lingfeng's gaze, she was still obedient and didn't say anything.
On the morning of the fourth day, Leng Qingyu just opened his eyes in a daze, and the mobile phone rang non-stop.
Leng Qingyu took the phone impatiently, looked at Shen Ning's name on the caller ID, and was even more angry, "Why are you calling me so early in the morning!" ”
"Did your wife live in Verdant Hill before?" Shen Ning was concise and to the point, and he didn't waste a word.
Hearing the three words of Qingcui Mountain, Leng Qingyu instantly sobered up and sat up suddenly, "What's wrong with Qingcui Mountain?" ”
"Qingcui Mountain caught fire yesterday, it seems to be quite serious, it burned for several hours, and the fire was extinguished in the early hours of this morning, and I just received the news."
Listening to Shen Ning's words, Leng Qingyu was shocked, "I know." ”
Leng Qingyu hung up the phone, didn't bother to change clothes, hurriedly dressed in a compromise, and was about to knock on Bai Ling's door, but he didn't expect that he had just opened his door when he saw Bai Ling walking out of her room.
Today's Bai Ling is wearing a simple white long dress, there is no special decoration on the long skirt, and there is not even her favorite embroidery in the past, which is very simple, but she is wearing a headdress today, which is a very simple little daisy hair ornament, which looks very fresh.
Bai Ling looked at Leng Qingyu, who was standing opposite him in a little panic, and smiled shallowly, "Looking for me?" ”
Hearing Bai Ling's voice, Leng Qingyu came back to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and stepped forward to speak, "Yesterday, the Verdant Mountain caught fire. ”
"Hmm." Bai Ling's reaction was calm, without a trace of turbulence.
"Then ......" Leng Qingyu originally wanted to ask what to do if the house was gone, but he only said one word, and Bai Ling gave him the answer directly.
"Nothing." Bai Ling replied very indifferently, as if the eggs at home were gone.
Leng Qingyu was a little surprised, looked at Bai Ling, opened his mouth, and only made a voice after a while, "You know everything?" ”
Bai Ling smiled at Leng Qingyu again, but this time, he didn't say anything, and then turned around and went downstairs.
Leng Qingyu stood in place, unable to return to his senses for a long time, and at this moment, his mind suddenly recalled what Bai Ling had said that day on the verdant mountain.
Leng Qingyu remembered that day she said, "If you don't come back, you won't be able to come back in the future." ”
Leng Qingyu simply washed and changed his clothes, and then cleaned up his mood, and then walked down from upstairs, at this time Bai Ling was already sitting at the dining table, but he didn't move his chopsticks, waiting for him.
Leng Qingyu had just sat down when Bai Ling spoke, "By the way, how is the school arrangement?" ”
Seeing that Bai Ling seemed to have recovered, Leng Qingyu's mood was much better, and as for those things that he couldn't figure out, he also lived through and didn't think about it.
"It's ready, you can go to school whenever you want."
Listening to Leng Qingyu's answer, Bai Ling nodded with great satisfaction, "Then tomorrow." ”
"In such a hurry?"
"Anyway, it's nothing, I don't want to be idle at home, it's good to go to school."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Bai Ling's theory, Leng Qingyu accepted, let her stay at home day by day as scheduled, maybe change to a new environment, and forget those unhappy things as soon as possible, it's also good.
After breakfast, Bai Ling saw that Leng Qingyu still had no intention of leaving, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"You go to work, you don't have to stay with me all the time, I'm really fine, besides, I'm going to go out in a while."
Hearing Bai Ling say this, Leng Qingyu still hesitated, in the past few days, he basically couldn't sleep well, for fear that something would happen to Bai Ling, and he was worried all day.
But today, it seems that Bai Ling's state is really good, thinking that the company has piled up a lot of things, he finally nodded, "Okay, then what do you have, remember to call me, I will go to you immediately, no matter where you are?" ”
"Okay, I got it."
Bai Ling was in a good state today, and he seemed to be in a good mood, so he actually watched Leng Qingyu go to work in person.
Seeing Leng Qingyu's car disappear from sight, Bai Ling picked up his mobile phone and took the initiative to dial Bai Lingfeng's phone, "Brother, do you have time?" Let's meet. ”
