Sycamore Falls Chapter 70. Sacrifice to the void
Dispelling the fatigue, he began to recover from the symptoms of motion sickness, Gu Fang peeled a piece of coconut candy for him and threw the wrapping paper into the trash.
She was still so gentle, and she didn't talk much, just looked at his face, revealing her eyes like the vast sea of stars, and let him be intoxicated, what kind of eyes were they, like dew and blur, like frost and snow and eager, like a pool of bottomless water, containing all things in the world.
"A-Ning, you're in Baiyun City again, how do you feel?" Gu Fang asked with a smile.
Baiyun City is still that Baiyun City, full of his memories, no matter the pain or happiness, it is engraved indelible, "Fangfang, I don't have any special feelings, I just feel that this city is thicker, and the pedestrians here are more vivid than in the past!" ”
"That's good, I was worried about you before, I was relieved to see you say this, you said a lot of dream words in the car, I heard it, go see Mu Yun, she is very close to here, she is also an infatuated woman!" Gu Fang sighed.
"Okay, I'll buy her flowers, Fangfang, let's go together!" He invited.
"It's better for you to go, A-Ning, I'm not a stingy person, you know, this is your mind, I can't mix it, I'll just wait for you here, go quickly!" Gu Fang waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
The flower shop is not big or small, just around the corner of the station, the orchid charm, the young landlady is spraying the delicate flowers with nourishment, he has also raised flowers, but the narcissus does not need much human care, but not so delicate.
"Boss, excuse me, I want to buy flowers!" He asked.
The female boss stopped her movements, put the watering can away, and replied: "Sir, what kind of flowers do you need, and who are they for, I can choose them for you!" ”
"Oh, it was given to my girlfriend, she has passed away, I don't know what flowers to give her, it's over there at Nanshan Cemetery." He replied.
"Kikyo and Lily are both suitable, sir, which one do you want to choose?" The landlady asked.
"I don't know, let's have a copy!" He sighed.
The female boss led him into the store and said: "The flowers are here, sir, you can choose by yourself, the price of large, medium and small portions is different, you can pick the right one, I will not sell it, the flower language is written on the board, Mr. can take a look, and then notify me when you pick it!" After saying that, the landlady took the flower scissors again, stepped out the door, and went to prune her beloved flower.
"Bellflower flower language: unchanging love, honesty, suppleness, sorrow; Eternal love, hopeless love, affection, melancholy flowers, if given away, are usually given to friends who will never see each other......"
"It turns out that the bellflower is such a sad flower, it seems that this flower is right, we will never see each other again! Mu Yun, you were talking about this flower when you were alive, I was very impatient at the time, I didn't expect you to mean this, and now it can be regarded as a wish, Mu Yun, soon I will come to see you with your sister Fangfang, don't wait to worry! He muttered to himself.
"Boss, I've already picked it, the white lily and the purple bellflower are both medium!" He called out to the landlady outside the shop.
The landlady went back to the store, looked at the selected bouquets, and carefully packed them, and the middle bouquet containing the soil was quickly ready, and said, "One hundred and seventy-six yuan, sir, your flowers, put them away, welcome to come next time!" ”
He paid the price, turned around and left, at this time the landlady did not look at her beloved flower, but said to herself: "When will I meet such a crusher, he is so good to his girlfriend!" ”
Holding a bouquet of flowers, the fragrance was not strong, perhaps because of the cold wind, which weakened his senses, and there was a person waiting for him under the laurel tree on the side of the street, so he stepped forward and grabbed Gu Fang's warm palm.
"Fangfang, let's go, I've bought the flowers, take a look!" He handed the flower in his hand to Gu Fang and led her to the No. 7 bus at Nanshan Cemetery.
The last stop of the bus is not Nanshan Cemetery, and it is only on the way, no one dares to take the cemetery as the stop from beginning to end, which is taboo, and the people who get off at this platform, few are as clear as them, holding flowers to go, and naturally there is a possibility of going to sweep the grave.
Nanshan Cemetery is a place of silence, even if there is a fire candle burning, it can't warm this eternal silence, the old man guarding the door is on crutches, and picks up a dry tobacco pouch to smoke a leaf cigarette, and stands in front of the door to watch the two go up the stone steps.
The stele forest is dense, there is little space, the joy and indifference have become black and white, the red lacquer depth of the text, like dripping blood, carved a scar in his heart, and the sorrow of passing away is sunk in this small and cramped space. How can Mu Yun get used to it, how can a lively person like her not be able to afford a burial and keep her body intact? In the end, she loves beauty, like the letter that has been turned to ashes, every word is true.
Mu Yun's stele is cleaned very clean, almost unstained with dust, in this winter, even the wind is unwilling to raise the red dust, Uncle Mu should have been here, there is also a canned pear that Mu Yun loves in front of him, Mu Yun's birthday has also been missed, fortunately, today is not bad, he also took out a can from his backpack, opened it into three cups, and placed it in front of her grave.
"Yun'er, brother came to see you, this is your sister-in-law, the person I told you, but you always treat it as a joke, today I have brought her, drink this cup as a commemoration!" He smiled, seemed to be open-minded, and then turned sad and urged: "You, always disobedient, I have made it very clear to you, let you not choose this dress, look at it, how wrinkled, how ugly!" ”
Mu Yun on the tombstone was wearing a dark big plaid suit, the black and white background was vaguely the color of the year, in his eyes, the person in the photo was still vivid, "Yun'er, do you know, I have a daughter with your sister Su Yuan, called Tiantian, very much like her mother, and also like my ......"
He kept talking, putting down the pear that was more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and remembering the events of the past.
When he was in his senior year, there were only a few days left before graduation, and he thought that he had the ability to make money with the company that had sent out invitations, but an accident happened.
"A-Ning, Uncle Mu has something to beg you, come back to Baiyun City quickly, Yun'er is dying, if you can come back today, maybe you can see her for the last time!" Uncle Mu's voice was low, and he could hear the bitterness in his throat, not uniting with Mu Yun to lie to him.
"I'm going to take a taxi, I'm going back to Baiyun City, Uncle Mu, you have to take care of her, don't let her do anything stupid!" He suppressed the surprise in his heart and whispered.
"Okay, you have to come back as soon as possible, Yun'er she really wants to see you, she was still shouting about you in her dream just now, Uncle Mu I can't ask for anything, you pay attention to safety on the road!"
The heavy news made him have to give up the things in his hand, the task of rushing the manuscript was abandoned, and the olive branch was also cut off by him, without an explanation, and he didn't care about lunch, so he ran out of the school gate like crazy, found a long-distance bus with a high bill, and rushed to Baiyun City.
According to the description of this long-distance car owner, it takes at least three hours to reach Baiyun City on the highway, which is still the ideal time for the road to be in good condition without traffic police checking.
The driver could see his anxiety, so he used his efforts to press the bottom of the box, copying the country roads, and mixed urban and rural roads, just to arrive as soon as possible, and God did not embarrass him, and the road was smooth sailing, and it was ten minutes earlier than the expected time.
The small courtyard was as usual, it was still full of flowers, the door was wide open, and the lights upstairs were still burning, he believed that Mu Yun would not leave him so ruthlessly, the lights were burning, full of the warmth of life.
"Uncle Mu, I'm back!" When he walked into the bedroom, he saw Uncle Mu squatting on a small bench, holding Mu Yun's hand, and crying.
"Uncle Mu, what's wrong with you, Yun'er?" He looked at Mu Yun who was rolled up in the cover, and his heart was full of sadness, and he knew that she had already let go.
Uncle Mu turned around sadly and said, "Ah Ning, you came back fast enough, but my girl is blessed, I can't wait, she left you something, I hid it, it hasn't burned yet, you watch it first, I'll go to the yard to be quiet!" Ahem, ahem! Uncle Mu's body seemed to have become a rickety old man, and he went downstairs with his hands on the door.
Under this orange light, he was the only one, Mu Yun lay quietly like this, silent, like a sleeping beauty, as if he could wake her up from her dream with a call.
The burning fragment in the brazier is not her handwriting, it is a substitute for Uncle Mu holding the manuscript paper, and he also knows the allusion to the burning manuscript and breaking the infatuation, but the tears are also stained, like Xiaoxiang's bamboo, engraved in the vague words.
The leather diary is thick, almost full of every page, and looking at the date of the start, it is indeed the time when the first train to Nanping started.
August 29, 2010 Sunny weather
I met my beloved as I wished, and I began to like him a long time ago, and I don't know when it started, so since the beginning will not end easily, I also have good wishes for the future, although he also has someone to admire, but this does not stop me from pursuing him.
Before everything is a foregone conclusion, at least I have a few chances, if I can't occupy a place in his heart, it can only be said that it is my own failure, not a defeat to others, it only proves that I am not working hard enough, so yes, Mu Yun, come on!
April 25, 2014 Weather Light rain
I have never been able to enter his heart, even if I have a flame of hope that will not be extinguished by the rain, I have failed, but I have succeeded, at least he will never forget that there is a person like me, in his youth, he gave him a true affection, even if in the eyes of outsiders, what he is looking for is a joke, but how can they understand me, I don't need someone to guide me.
It's raining outside the window, and I don't know if he'll come to pick me up, fifteen minutes before class ends, and he's probably still writing at this time, he's always deleted and changed, changed and deleted, and this time he might forget it, but I always hope he can come, and I don't want to go back in the rain.
Oh my God, let this rain get harder, and let it drench us both in soup, so I can ask him for another piece of clothing to wear!
May 17, 2014 Weather Rain
I seem to be sick, I woke up in the morning with blood from my mouth and nose, and my chest hurt, this is something I have never seen before, I think I should go to the hospital for a check-up, if there is really something wrong, it will be cured, I will not be so lucky!
Oh, thief! You play with me like this! How am I going to carry out my love war plan, really, can't you give me more time?
I've called my dad and he seems to have expected me to get this disease, no wonder he has always been obedient to me, he wants me to be happy every day, even when I go to pursue love, he is full of promises, dad, is this how my mother left? She is so happy, with a father who loves her so much!
Looking at the crooked words from Juanxiu, his heart gradually became manic, and the words densely imprinted in the diary seemed to have become prison canons, counting his sins.
If he had known Mu Yun's situation, how could he not agree to her and accompany her on a flower walk, even if he went to the wedding photography for a while, what if he went to the wedding photography scene, wasn't that the scene of the court trial just a disguised way to inform her that she was about to leave, but I hated him for waking up too late.
"A-Ning, don't be too sad, it's time to say goodbye to Mu Yun, if you have the heart, just take the wedding ceremony planned by Mu Yun, A-Ning, let's go, it's time to go down the mountain!" Gu Fang wiped his tears and called softly.
"Well, got it, Fangfang, let's go down the mountain!" He tightened the lid of the canned pear and bowed three more times before he took a step.
"A-Ning, in fact, I will do that dance, the little kite will be rehearsed with me, and Mu Yun will too, when we get married, I will dance it for you! It can be regarded as a mourning for the deceased! Gu Fang took his hand and said softly.
"It's okay!" He asked.
"It's okay, I'll definitely reproduce that dance, after all, I'm also one of the creators, and I'll fulfill their wishes!" Gu Fang clenched his hand and affirmed.
The winter wind did not blow away the redundant snow, just waiting for the wisp of spring to come, dancing and comforting the emptiness, it must be the most beautiful wedding!
