Chapter 3: Old Things Part 3
When the last ray of gold on the horizon went down, the back of two people on the left and one on the right of the long wooden plank road slowly walked forward.
The final shot of a nostalgic movie is generally in this style, leaving a back to leave the audience with infinite reverie.
When you think that others are the scenery in your eyes, you don't know that you have also become the scenery in the eyes of others.
From the famous viewing platform by the sea, you can see everything on the boardwalk.
Two people sit on mushroom chairs on the viewing platform.
Xiao Mo was silent for a long time.
The sea breeze was astringent, making his eyes sour and uncomfortable.
After the seagull on the surface of the sea circled several times on the surface of the sea not far away, he said to the clouds beside him.
"So you already knew all this, didn't you?"
In his heart, of course he didn't know about this friend he had trusted in the past. Or he can lie to himself, but he knows this person, and he never leaves others a chance to struggle.
"Yes."
"Before you came to our bureau, you actually knew who I was all along, right?"
"Yes."
"So I guess you're here because of me, right?"
"Yes yes, yes yes no yes and no."
"Don't fucking quibble, yes, no, no."
"Of course I came to the bureau to work, but they first put me with the first team. When I knew you were in the second team, I decisively chose to follow the second team. ”
"What are you doing this for?"
"The purpose is simple, because of what a thought."
"What's the thought?"
"Yes."
"Daddy He with you?"
"You should have imagined his relationship with me."
Xiao Mo instantly understood why Yunhai would follow him to Miancheng, why he liked to live in that old two-story building so much, it turned out that everything was for a reason.
"I don't quite understand, what is there to hide from this? You can tell me the truth directly. ”
He opened his mouth, making Xiao Mo even more depressed.
He said: "I didn't want to hide from you, but you didn't ask, and I don't think it's necessary to say." ”
What kind of robber logic is this?
"You quibble."
"Actually, I told you that my father is no longer in this world. And why should I follow you to that small town? Why would you like to live in your small building? Why should I follow you to worship your parents? Xiao Mo, I didn't say you, as a criminal policeman, in fact, you should have seen something unusual, but you didn't, which made me feel more or less disappointed. It seems that you are not as good as I thought. ”
"When did you first notice my existence?"
"I told you, my father, I don't remember much of his existence. But I didn't say that there are many memories that have been hidden deep in my heart, and I have never left them for years. The first thing I did when I returned to China was to go back to the town, look at the small building, and miss the person in my memory.
To tell you the truth, I tried hard to find the truth about his murder. But because of the long period of time, for a long time, I found almost nothing, and it was not until later, when the police announced that the murderer had been found, that I stopped. ”
"It seems that you have a deep affection for him."
"Strictly speaking, yes."
"Can you tell us about some of the images that you will never forget?"
"The stone table in the small courtyard, where he often makes tea."
"Yes, on an autumn afternoon, he would make a good cup of tea, sit there and read a book, and look at it for an afternoon. I sat across from him, doing my homework carefully, and he always patiently explained to me what I didn't understand. ”
The big heavy iron door, every time he opened and closed the door, there was a strange noise. He told me that it was the sound of coming home, the sound of reassurance. ”
"Yes, every night, when he went to close the courtyard door, my mother and I would always hear the creaking sound when I sat in the living room. Now that I think about it, it's really a reassuring sound. ”
"The kindergarten was across the street next door, and when I was younger, he would let me ride on his neck, through the street lined with tall plane trees, and then drop me off when I got to the kindergarten. When I was older, he would hold my hand tightly every day, walk across that street, wave goodbye to me at the kindergarten gate, and when he said goodbye, he would always smile, his teeth were very white, and he would glow when he smiled. So much so that when I saw my uncle with good teeth, I would always think of him. ”
"Yes, I have to wait for the school bus at the intersection called Wutong Street every day when I go to school, no matter how busy I am, he always has to accompany me, watch me get on the school bus, and then wave goodbye to me. When grinning, a mouthful of big white teeth is always eye-catching. ”
"When I was younger, I was afraid of injections, and I cried so much every time I got them. Then, he cried too, and his mother always laughed at him for being a big man, how could he be made like water. ”
"Yes, I remember that summer vacation at my grandmother's house, I climbed a tree to pick apricots, and accidentally fell down and cracked a big hole on my forehead, when I was bandaging in the hospital. I didn't cry, he cried first. The nurse aunt who fell to the hospital showed the joke. ”
"I remember that the scrambled eggs with red tomatoes he made were very delicious, and every time I would go with a lot of rice, and now I think about it, it is my father's taste."
"Yes, he's only going to do that. He said that stir-frying is also a science, and it is also a skill to be able to make the essence of a dish. ”
"During the parent-child activities in kindergarten, he pretended to be a kangaroo mother, hugged me tightly in his arms, and jumped up and down. It made everyone laugh. ”
"Yes, parent-teacher conferences, he always rushes to go. Mom said it was as if I was his own son. He got angry, he said, whoever wants to say that I am not his own son, who is in a hurry, I am his son who can no longer kiss...... But ......"
On the boardwalk, the two shadows turned a corner and disappeared from sight.
Xiao Mo rubbed his eyes.
"Can you tell me why your parents are separated?"
"My mother didn't say it, but I guess it should have something to do with your father, Xiao Ze."
"Why do you say that?"
"They parted very suddenly, and that day, when I was still in kindergarten, my mother suddenly came to kindergarten and took me away. We didn't go home, she took me straight to the train station and I didn't have time to say goodbye to my father. At the train station, I asked my mother, why didn't my father come along?
My mother lied to me and said that my father was busy with work and that he would come to us. That day, my mother came with a big suitcase to see us off from an uncle whom I had met, who had come to the house many times and who had called my father a brother. When my mother waved goodbye to him at the station, I saw her turn around and secretly wipe her tears. ”
"I guess the uncle who came to see you off is Xiao Ze!"
