Chapter 491: Dust
(Girls' Literature)
It seems that this Xu Hu's grandmother's body is really not ordinarily good, this may be because the old lady has lived in the countryside for many years, so she will exercise such a good body, I think it must be like this, otherwise you look at such a rugged road, she is so old, but there is still no difficulty! Her pace was so fast, but her breathing still didn't change.
I followed her so tightly behind her, the country road, although full of thorns and bumps, but as long as you breathe hard, you can still smell the aroma of grass and leaves almost full of nose, now it has just begun autumn, the summer green has not completely withered, look at it, such a countryside, almost full of green, which makes people feel refreshed. Very nice color.
It turned out that Xu Hu grew up in such an environment, one or two little boys, wearing short sleeves and shorts, ran happily on the side of the road, I saw the fishing nets in their hands, just laughing, raising a layer of fine dust on the road, I seemed to see Xu Hu as a child, and I also ran by the side of the road so happily, yes, this is where Xu Hu once lived, Xu Hu, we are back now, back to the original place of your life, back to your original point, can you feel it? You answer.
"It's almost there......" Xu Hu's grandmother muttered, "Xiaoya, it's almost there....." I was amazed, I just introduced myself and said that it was Xu Hu's friend, I didn't tell my grandmother my name, how could she know my name? "Grandma, how do you know my name....." I couldn't help but wonder if the old lady had some unpredictable prophetic powers. That's amazing.
I said that I stepped into a poplar forest with my grandmother, and the corners of my grandmother's mouth floated with a smile, "No need to ask, I also know that you must be Xiaoya......." The old grandmother still walked forward, and when she spoke, her eyes did not look at me, "When Hu'er called me, he mentioned you many times, he said that you are his favorite person, and said that one day when he mixes like a person, he will bring you back to see me......" Grandma's words made me stand in the moment, and my heart tightened, My nose started to sour again, Xu Hu, I understand, from the time I made up my mind to help you, you are not a scumbag, and your definition has been completely different from now in my heart from that time. But you're still gone. It's just that when I met you at the best time, you left, you left.
After walking through this dense poplar forest, my grandmother and I came to the river, I swear, I have never seen such a crystal clear river until I was in junior high school, yes, I only remember that I lived in the cage of reinforced concrete for a long time, for this pristine, relatively clean and clear river, in my mind, I almost have no impression.
It seems that this is only a kind of thing that exists in distant antiquity, and has almost nothing to do with modern things, in my memory, only when I go to school and leave school every day, passing by, the stinky ditch in front of my house, this is my only memory, this is the only river I remember, after the city is cleaned, the only river remains. But there was nothing but the fishy smell.
Yes, the two boys in shorts and short sleeves that I had just met on the road were now swimming happily in the river, like ducks floating in the water. In the early autumn, the river began to feel cool, but the two teenagers, as if they had no influence, were still fluttering happily in the water, looking so chic and comfortable. There is no feeling of being tied down.
Xu Hu, I suddenly thought of when you were young, were you the same as them, in this place, at this time, you were also carefree and happy here, looking like a little white goose that had just been released from the cage? Xu Hu's grandmother slowly squatted down by the river, her old hand slowly opened the lid of the urn, it was so slowly opened, I heard the box was opened, it was almost a deep sound, and it reached the bottom of my heart. I also slowly squatted down by the river, and at this time, I saw the gray-white powder inside the urn, and my stomach began to churn again, for some reason.
"Hu'er, you're back, what you promised your grandmother, you did it, not only you're back, Xiaoya is also back, you said, you'll come back with Xiaoya, look at it, isn't this Xiaoya already back? Hu'er, I know that you are a good boy, and I also know about it, and I didn't lie to my grandmother. ”
The old woman said, reached out and grabbed the ashes in the box, and scattered them into the river. At this time, I don't know when it started, slowly began to wind, although the wind was not big, but it still blew the poplar forest behind us almost "whooshing", poplar this kind of tree, another name is "ghost clapping", that is, when the wind blows, the leaves of the poplar will begin to "la-la" sound, as if someone clapped behind us, and the wind blew the ashes in the hands of the grandmother into the river. The ashes are thin, like sand.
I saw the gray-white ashes, at this time, under the blowing of the wind, began to slowly drift away, as if this was not Xu Hu's bones and flesh, just transformed into a handful of ashes, this seems to be really a handful of white sand. It's just fluttering here, it looks so soft, so detailed. "Hu'er, this was his favorite thing when he was a child, and at that time, he was probably as big as those children......" said the old woman, her eyes looked at the children who were playing on the side, and the children's clothes were completely soaked at this time, so they simply took off their wet clothes, shirtless, and wore shorts, and stood in the river like this. The slippery droplets of water began to roll over their bare arms, and they looked really cute and full of vitality at the same time. The group of children also saw us, and they turned around and smiled at us, their faces rolling, I don't know if they were water droplets, or sweat beads, they just hung on their faces one by one, very smart. It was a happy, beating elf on the children's faces.
"He loves the river so much, you know? Whenever it is summer, every time he comes, he likes to come to this river to swim, but I am always afraid that he will have an accident, I scare him and say, ah, there are water ghosts in this, every summer, water ghosts will always come out of the water, drag a few children down to catch alternately, hehe, but this child just doesn't believe me or take advantage of me to work in the field, swim in the river, bathe, can't care about him......" The old grandmother said.
There was still that faint smile on her face, but a tear still flowed out of the corner of her eye, so her smiling face also left two lines of tears, just hanging quietly, swaying in the wind, and slowly flowing in the wind. Xu Hu, we are here, can you feel our presence? Xu Hu, this is your favorite river, "I originally wanted to bury Hu'er in the ancestral grave, but this river is his favorite place, I think it's better to bury him here, since ancient times, it is said that dust returns to dust, soil returns to earth, and this may be the best destination for Hu'er......"
The river was still lying quietly, and the children were still playing in the river, and sometimes they just looked at us with a little curiosity, and they didn't say anything else, and I think what we are doing now is very incomprehensible to them. Yes, it's hard.
The river rippled in circles under the blowing of the wind, and the children's play also made the river ripple round and round. Slowly turned from the shore to the center of the river. The gloomy sky seemed to be able to wring out the water, at this time, began to fall one after another silk threads, and suddenly circles of pockmarks appeared in the small river, and it rained, and my grandmother and I stood up and walked quickly home. Whether we want to or not, whether we miss it or not, Xu Hu is gone.
Completely left us, and there is not even a grave, Xu Hu, if I really want to come to see you in the future, I can only come to this river again, quietly here and look at the river that seems to be flowing for eternity, so that it is the best memory for you. Xu Hu, I hope you can swim in the river, my dear friend, there is no sickness in heaven, there is no sorrow in heaven, please swim in the water well, this is your heart's home, but also your new world, Xu Hu, bless you. You go back to where you started, back to where you started when you're sad and sad.
Someone once said that there are two sides to everything, and everything has to be divided into two to see, just like Xu Hu's departure, I am very sad, but from another level, I still have gains, and the biggest gain is Su Xiaoyu.
