Chapter 2: Life and Death 2

At that time, Yi Lan was walking alone on the street, as if she was counting how many floor tiles she had passed, and as if she was looking up at the sky.

"Irany?" An uncertain call came from behind him.

Yi Lan turned around, and a short-haired woman about her age was looking at her hesitantly.

"Yikes! It's really you! I've been following you for a long time, but I've never dared to confirm it. ”

Yi Lan vaguely felt that the woman was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Don't recognize it yet? It's no wonder that you never participate in the alumni association, but your photos and academic papers have been admired by us for several years. ”

It was only then that Yi Lan recognized that the short-haired woman was her elementary school classmate, and she had a very good relationship back then. Her father's fried melon seeds were particularly delicious, and a group of female classmates once went to her house to eat melon seeds.

"Huiwen! You've changed so much! ”

"But no, how many years have you not seen each other? I'm a mom now! What about you? ”

Yi Lan was thinking about how to answer, but before she could think about it, her classmate said, "Oh! Sorry, I shouldn't have asked this. ”

"What's wrong?" Yi Lan was a little puzzled.

"I've heard about you. I don't think it's a big deal, there are many good men in the world, why are you so infatuated? ”

"What have you heard?" The more Iran listened, the more confused she became.

"Don't ask, it's all gossip, and there's nothing to hear. Besides, Mu Jiangrong has been gone for so many years, and he is the most important, and he doesn't want to say anything about him. ”

"What the hell are you talking about? What is gone, who is si? ”

"Iran what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? What are you talking about? Ilan's speech was noticeably quicker.

"Are you...... I really don't know? The classmates were a little puzzled by Yi Lan's reaction. At the alumni meeting a few years ago, she didn't believe the gossip about Yi Lan and Mu Jiangrong. When I was in elementary school, many classmates in the class could see that Mu Jiangrong liked Yilan, not an ordinary like. Whenever there was a boy in the school who showed that he liked Yi Lan, Mu Jiangrong hid from Yi Lan to fight with them, from the first grade of primary school to the fourth grade, because later any boy who liked Yi Lan did not dare to show it.

It must be out of jealousy that they are talking nonsense at the alumni association. But after so many years, Yi Lan has always been single, which makes her believe it again. So she never thought that Yi Lan would not know about Mu Jiangrong. Well, since she asked, it is better to let her know, and maybe she can make her feel sorry for her.

"I also heard that, Yi Lan, it seems that seven or eight years ago, when Mu Jiangrong was on summer vacation, he had a car accident, and it seems that he was not rescued." The classmate spoke very briefly and deliberately vaguely, carefully observing Ilan's reaction. If it is really as rumored that Yi Lan loves Mu Jiangrong so much that she wants to live, and even threatens her to force Mu Jiangrong to break up with his girlfriend and propose to her, and she is still in the dark about Mu Jiangrong's si, then this blow is not ordinary for her.

"What do you say? You're kidding me, aren't you? Iran laughed, making a "Look, I was really tricked by you" expression.

"I don't know the specifics, the media seems to have reported this back then, why don't you look for it on the Internet?"

"This kind of news media also reports?"

"Who let my father be a general, and if we are ordinary people, we don't bother to pay attention to it."

"Are you talking about his junior year?"

"Seems to be, right? I don't remember exactly. ”

"No wonder, I was in the same university as him at that time, and we used to see him often, and I said why I didn't see him again." Iran said it plainly.

"You didn't know?"

"I'm not in the same department, and I'm busy studying. By the way, do you remember the math teacher in our class, Mr. Liu Yan, who made an agreement with us for ten years. ”

"Remember! At that time, I thought she was so fierce and fierce, but when I grew up, I realized that she was really a good teacher. ”

"Yes, there is also the head teacher, Teacher Yang Ping. I also visited them 10 years after graduation. When they talked about Mu Jiangrong, they all laughed and said that this student was too naughty. ”

"Have you ever been back? Then why did the alumni association never see you attend? ”

"When you have free time, I'm busy, and sometimes I have to live in the office for months when I get on a project."

"Sure enough, the nobles are so forgetful, no wonder they can't remember me. Hahaha~~"

"Hahaha~~~ I ate so many melon seeds from your house back then, and I made up for my brain in vain."

"It's just, what a waste!"

The two of them talked and laughed and chatted for a while, and the classmates hurried home, said goodbye to Yi Lan, made an appointment to contact after the New Year, and called out the few classmates who were good back then, and everyone got together together.

After her classmates left, Iran walked on the sidewalk alone. On the side of the road, a row of plane trees was planted with the same plane trees as around the elementary school playground. In the summer, even if it is raining, as long as you run faster, you won't get much rain when you get home. Mu Jiangrong ran very fast, carrying a cage in front of him, so fast that even the teacher couldn't catch up with him.

Mu Jiangrong ran all the way to the side of the playground, opened the cage, took out a cat from it, and put it on the tree. Then he dropped the cage and ignored the angry teacher who couldn't catch the cat under the tree. He ran back to the classroom and grabbed Yi Lan's braids who were still crying on the desk, "Let's go!" Let's go out and play! I can't do it in art class! ”

The whole class cheered, and some of the bold ones ran out of the classroom. Whoever asked the art teacher to make a problem had to draw a cat in a cage, or to pay attention to the frightened expression in the cat's eyes.

Iran loves cats the most, but since losing her cat, Iran is sad whenever she sees a cat again. Yi Lan was grabbed by Mu Jiangrong's braid and shouted "Pain!" Pain! Pain! Mu Jiangrong let go of her braids, took her hand again, and ran all the way out of the classroom, where did she go? Iran couldn't remember.

Mu Jiangrong ran so fast, as fast as riding a bicycle. At the university meeting, sometimes after eating together, Mu Jiangrong would say that he would take Yi Lan back to the biology department on a bicycle, but Yi Lan never dared to sit.

Mu Jiangrong's bicycle is too eye-catching on campus, and what is more eye-catching than the bicycle is Mu Jiangrong himself. He is the son of a general, and he is a handsome and talented physics student.

At that time, the most popular retro-style campus love story was that you rode a bicycle and carried me through time together. How many female classmates fantasize about being able to sit on the back seat of Mu Jiangrong's bicycle and drive around the campus very stylishly, but Mu Jiangrong's bicycle back seat has never carried any girl.

Before she knew it, Iran walked around the corner of the school. Last night, she also dreamed of Mu Jiangrong, standing here, with a warm smile and a sense of rebelliousness, and said to her, I have been waiting for you.

When she came out of the house today, Yi Lan was still thinking in her heart, as in previous years, let's go to the corner and take a look, it's really a good place to be in a daze, maybe she was in a daze, and suddenly came back to her senses and saw Mu Jiangrong.

Standing around the corner and looking from afar, Iran could see the school gate. Across the road from the gate is the main gate of the military division headquarters, and Mu Jiangrong once took her in.

When he was about to graduate from elementary school, one afternoon after school, Mu Jiangrong lowered his head and packed his schoolbag, and asked Yi Lan in a low voice if he wanted to go to his house to play. Yi Lan had never seen what the general's home looked like, and she was full of curiosity, so she agreed without thinking about it. Mu Jiangrong's home is a large villa with a single family, and there are two guards with loaded guns standing at the door. Only very high-level people can live in such a big villa, Yi Lan thought to herself, both excited and a little nervous.

Mu Jiangrong dragged her from the front yard into the magnificent living room, and before she had time to take a look at the indoor furnishings, she was dragged to the backyard by Mu Jiangrong in a daze. There is a small pond in the backyard, and a small vegetable patch. The general's family actually grows his own vegetables, which surprised Yi Lan.

Iran just stood there, looking at the red fish in the pond and the green vegetables in the garden. Mu Jiangrong squatted beside her, biting a small wooden stick in his mouth, and holding a thick wooden stick in his hand, knocking on the dirt on the ground one by one. After breaking some clods of soil, Mu Jiangrong said, "My sister is coming back soon." Yi Lan said "oh", and Mu Jiangrong stopped talking, lowering his head and only caring about tapping the dirt more quickly.

The red fish in the pond reminded Iran that she had once made a red goldfish. In the handicraft class, the teacher asked them to use the materials around them to make a handicraft work freely. Yi Lan thought that she had stolen a small roll of wool from her mother two days ago and hid it in her school bag, so she took it out and cut a small section.

What were you going to make up at the beginning? Forgot. Braiding and weaving, she felt that the yarn in her hand was very similar to a fish, so she dismantled the yarn that had not yet been braided one by one, and used the pin on the school emblem to pick the fluffy one and make it into a goldfish tail.

The teacher praised Yi Lan and said that the creativity of the little goldfish with yarn is very good, and if you can make aquatic plants with green wool and stick them together on the blue cloth, it will be a very beautiful painting. But just after class, the woolen goldfish was snatched away by Mu Jiangrong.

Although Mu Jiangrong was smaller than Yi Lan at the time, he ran so fast that it made Yi Lan feel strange. Usually when they help Keke and Peng Xinxin catch Mu Jiangrong, they don't have to work too hard to catch him, but this time they can't catch him, could it be that the general used some special method to train him?

In the end, Yi Lan pretended to be angry, in the past, as long as she was angry, Mu Jiangrong would immediately surrender obediently. But this time, even if Yi Lan was angry, he couldn't get back the woolen goldfish from Mu Jiangrong. It was made up by Yi Lan, and he hadn't even memorized the method.

Yi Lan originally wanted to make another woolen goldfish according to the teacher's words, and then make a beautiful painting. If the painting was done, it would have been robbed by Mu Jiangrong, but it was not realized after all.

But why did you steal your mother's yarn? Iran shook her head, and when she found herself starting to wander, she knew that she was nervous again.

After standing for a while, Mu Jiangrong's absent-minded appearance made her feel a little bored, so she proposed to go home. As soon as Mu Jiangrong heard that she was going home, he jumped up and pulled her out.

"What's up there?" As she walked through the hall again, Iran saw a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

"I've never brought a female classmate to play at home." Mu Jiangrong answered the question.

On the way there, Iran was overjoyed, thinking that she could visit the general's home. On the way back, she was full of chagrin, except for the red fish, the green vegetables, and the wooden staircase that could get closer to Mu Jiangrong's life, she didn't remember anything.
