Chapter 50: Looking Up at the Stars
That day, when Uncle Bai was resting in the fields, he suddenly heard a man shouting at him, saying that his niece and a strange young man had been found near the mountain pass in the dam area.
The young man was Li Wenji, who was immediately sent to the hospital after being discovered, and Uncle Bai had just dealt with the funeral of Aqiao's mother, and he had spent a lot of money to see a doctor before his death, and finally rushed to the hospital with some fruit and a little money.
......
"Actually, I can't do anything," Uncle Bai complained, "When I arrived outside the hospital ward, I secretly looked at Ah Rong, she was fitted with plastic tubes all over her body, and I paid the hospitalization fee for a few days and left, alas, ......"
"How did they get hurt and where did they go?" An Zixian asked with a slight trembling voice with a light in his eyes.
"I don't know the specifics, I should be starving." Uncle Bai looked very guilty, "It was raining heavily before I was found, and I couldn't replenish my strength in time, and no one knows where I went later, they were picked up by others." ”
"During this period, you didn't go to the hospital to ask anything, or did you leave some words for you, after all, it was near home, Bai Rong wouldn't be so ruthless." An Zixian looked a little anxious.
"Later, I wanted to go," Uncle Bai paused, "The hospital was moved soon, and many medical staff were also replaced, including those check-in procedures, medical records, monitoring, etc., which were all lost when they moved out." ”
Mo Jingting couldn't help frowning, obviously someone did it on purpose, the purpose was to destroy the evidence in disguise.
An Zixian naturally knows that these are other people's means, but when people reach middle age, they are easy to be dominated by feelings, and the hope they just have in their hearts is shattered.
During this period, An Zixian wanted to go to Bai Rong's house in the mountains to have a look, but Uncle Bai told him that the village had moved away ten years ago, and now it has been developed into a scenic spot.
Knowing this, An Zixian often sighed again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the evil power behind it was really cruel.
Bai Qiao seemed to hear his father talk about this for the first time, and he was both frightened and disappointed, and sat aside without saying a word.
Mo Jingting seemed very calm, she knew something that the master didn't know, but she was also depressed in her heart, what would be the relationship between Li Wenji and Bai Rong and herself, and why they met in that mysterious place.
In the end, An Zixian wanted to go to the mountain pass where Li Wenji had been found, but when he looked out the door, the moon was already high and he was not prepared, so he waited patiently until the next day.
An Zixian wanted to get up and pull Mo Jingting to say goodbye to Uncle Bai, preparing to go outside to find a hotel, and have a chance to disturb him tomorrow.
Uncle Bai persuaded him with good words, and finally let the master and apprentice live in the halls on both sides of the courtyard lobby, and they had to entertain them well in the evening.
......
In the evening, the meals prepared by Uncle Bai and Bai Qiao were unusually rich, and the enthusiastic Uncle Bai even took out home-brewed wine that had been hidden for decades.
At the dinner table, Uncle Bai seemed to have not spoken for many years, laughing and talking, everything that could be said, what was not talked about was not talked about, and finally when he was excited, he was drunk and prosperous, and he had to pull An Zixian to call him a brother.
Bai Qiao chatted with Mo Jingting, they were close in age and had a lot of common language.
By the end of the feast, Uncle Bai was already drunk and unconscious. The three of them knew that Uncle Bai was ashamed, and recently someone mentioned the old things again, and remembered many memories, and it was rare for someone to listen to them and drink very happily.
After An Zixian helped Uncle Bai back to the room to rest, he went outside the hall.
Mo Jingting and Bai Qiao cleaned up the dining table and kitchen together.
I don't know how long it will be.
Mo Jingting, who had washed the dishes from the back of the kitchen, returned to the hall, and finally found the master on the side of the corridor outside the hall.
The difference is that the last time I was staring at a stone monument, this time I was looking up at the starry sky, which seemed extremely lonely.
Mo Jingting quietly approached her master's side, and also raised her head and fell into deep contemplation at the deep night sky.
Looking at the free and tranquil starry sky, she felt solemn and holy, and the truth that she had been searching for and the seeming meaning of exploring life had gradually become clear.
It is a kind of dawn of justice, lonely and vast, blazing and magnificent, enduring and more like an unquenchable fire.
"I hope you're still alive, and don't just appear before my eyes and then disappear like this pop in the night sky. Then I will despise you, and I will scold you and condemn you endlessly, until you become brighter and make me feel your presence."
Mo Jingting was shocked by Master's sudden words, and heard Master say such philosophical and thought-provoking words for the first time.
When he turned to look at the master, he just met An Zixian's eyes, as deep and vast as the starry sky, in this breezy season, all the mundane old things seemed to be forgotten by the world at the moment when the soul touched.
"Master, the starry sky will not be extinguished, that pop just slips away quickly, and it can come back after a turn, so Uncle Li Wenji will be fine."
An Zixian smiled knowingly, "You're right, I feel that the truth is getting closer and closer to me." ”
Mo Jingting yawned, it seemed that the starry sky also began to flicker with tired light, the entire night sky was dotted with deep blue and bright, no matter how silent it was, it would begin to urge others to keep napping.
"Sleepy!" An Zixian looked at Mo Jingting with a smile, "Go back to the room and go to bed early, have a good rest, take a look at the mountain pass tomorrow, and then go into the mountain to take a look, I want to know what Li Wenji encountered in it back then." ”
"Master," Mo Jingting also looked at An Zixian, "You should also rest early, if you enter the mountains, the road will definitely be difficult to walk, and you need to take care of your physical strength." I'm looking forward to it soon, and I can't wait to know the truth. After saying that, he smiled and said goodnight to the master, and went back to the room.
After Mo Jingting left, An Zixian continued to stand for a while, this time he thought of his fiancée, thought of the past in Yi, those happy days that were all desirable, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
After calming down, An Zixian also went back to the room to rest.
......
The next morning, Uncle Bai urged his daughter Bai Qiao to go to the dance class, and sent them all the way to the intersection before coming back to greet the master and apprentice.
When he personally led the mountain pass where Li Wenji and Bai Rong were discovered, Uncle Bai told the master and apprentice the general route into the mountain, and told the master and apprentice not to go too deep, come back early, and then go home to the field.
The pass is a bit cluttered with grass and trees, and when you look around, it looks very desolate, and the only place that looks more comfortable is the locust poplar tree on the side of the only road leading to the mountain.
The master and apprentice walked around for a while, and there was nothing to look good at, and then they walked to the locust poplar tree to rest and prepare to enter the mountain.
Suddenly, in the grass in the distance, Mo Jingting saw a hazy figure and the sound of rubbing.
"Who?" Mo Jingting shouted loudly.
An Zixian was startled, and immediately looked in the direction that Mo Jingting shouted, a gust of wind blew, and the person hiding missed a corner, and An Zixian immediately recognized who this person was.
"Why are you here too? Do you want to go into the mountains? An Zixian said softly.
