Xiang Hai got up and left. Lin Yilan sat on the sofa and watched the TV that didn't know what was playing.

Gradually—she smelled the smell of wet earth in her nose, the damp wind in her ears, and the muddy dirt under her feet. She looked beside her, and there was a man whose face could not be seen clearly, sitting blankly on the mound with a few paintings, looking at her own submerged courtyard.

She forced herself not to look at the man, but it was all pointless.

When the man slowly and mechanically said that her daughter liked to eat fried pork with green peppers, she had already guessed the person's identity. Even...... Lian Xianghai's identity was deliberately hidden.

Lin Yilan took the remote control to change the station blankly, not wanting to watch anything, she even pretended to laugh along with the sketches on TV. She just wanted to tell the people upstairs that she was fine and she didn't think much of it.

The footsteps upstairs faded away, and he probably sat at his desk reading a book, which was good.

Lin Yilan laughed silently at the bitter love scene in the TV series.

Xiang Hai went back upstairs to get a cigarette, stood at the window and lit it. He took a hard breath and began to mentally prepare and design the next development.

He turned on the light in his study, flipped through his notebook and began to record.

[April 28, 2005, sunny to cloudy

has continued to treat her according to the plan given by Li Heng, she looks much better, and she doesn't have nightmares anymore.

Or maybe I didn't find out.

Continue to take medications.

……

She asked me not to let go. Then I'll have to catch her!! Chase away the black dogs.

As for the fact that I lied to her, I think she was so clever that she should have guessed it soon.

We'll talk about that then.

In addition, the ghost has taken the bait.

Sea】

Xiang Hai closed the notebook, turned it to the back, wrote a random paragraph and covered the pen cap, put the notebook back in the drawer, and locked it.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed it. The call was answered immediately, and it was Xu Jiang's rough voice.

"Ouch, I said boss, you're finally calling! I have given all the clerks a holiday as you instructed, and I have wandered around casually, and now I am at home. What do we do next? ”

Xiang Hai pondered for a moment and said, "You spread rumors that Haiyi's true identity is that person's illegitimate son. ”

Xu Jiang shouted over there: "Damn! No, play so hard! That person wants a painting, and it's not the identity of this illegitimate child, so it doesn't make sense for you to spread it like this! ”

"Do you still have the portrait I painted you last time?"

"Of course, it's hanging in my bedroom."

Xiang Hai smiled: "What are you doing hanging my master's portrait in your bedroom?" Find someone to leak this picture in a candid way, and that person will make a move. ”

Xu Jiang "I'll lean" and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Is it really good for you to be so shameless?" ”

"Don't be verbose, why do you think I would draw a picture for you so carefully? I'll do it tomorrow, and he'll probably put someone in your store next, so it's okay, just take it. ”

Xu Jiang took a sip: "Okay, I'll let Xiao Jiang stare at the people who come in." Hey, don't say it, you sent Xiao Jiang to frame the painting directly in the store for 20,000 yuan, that kind of intention! Also, when she knew that you painted this picture for her, she rushed directly to my movie theater to find someone, and at that time you had no conscience and left, she squatted at the door of the movie theater and cried for a while, and then came back to work. I think people are really interested in you. ”

Xiang Hai Da: "What is interesting to me?" You quickly got this for me, do you hear? This is the most important thing, if you mess it up for me, hum......"

"Got it, I'll do it tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Hai went through the whole thing in his mind, and felt that there were no loopholes, so he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray.

The next day, at 8:00 a.m., the truck driver brought the seedlings and the scrap wood strips, along with the bookshelves of mahogany that Xiang Hai had ordered from a friend. He helped carry the bookshelves into the living room, and after only a cup of tea in the house, he drove back to the empty truck to continue hauling goods.

The length of the scrap wood strip is one or two meters, and if it is used as a fence diagonally, the length and thickness are just right.

I measured the width of the land that needed to be shoveled, and I took an A4 sheet of paper and made a draft on the paper. When Lin Yilan found the hoe, he had already taken the scratch paper, took the hoe, and started working.

"Help me pull the ruler and draw a bar every 10 centimeters. Yes, draw a little longer. It's okay, let's come back a few more times. ”

The two of them dragged the ruler and made two rows of marks of 10 cm and 10 cm. I started watering since the last two days, and the soil is soft and easy to start. Xiang Hai carried a hoe to dig all the marks in a row of small pits in a straight line, picked up the waste wood strips on the side, one end of the planed pits, and the other end of the marks on the other row of markers, placed a row diagonally, and then superimposed a layer obliquely in the opposite direction.

Lin Yilan found the wire, cut the pliers into sections, and the prototype of the fence had already been laid out on the seaward side, and she took the wire section to screw the two layers of wood together.

The two of them divided their labor in an orderly manner, and soon wrung the fences on both sides, helped them up, poked them into the small pit at the bottom, and went to the sea to find a hammer to wedge the wooden strips into the dirt little by little.

The two of them knocked and knocked, and when one side was buried, they began to bury the other. The work efficiency is very rapid, no one has any extra words, and the tacit understanding arises spontaneously.

After the two fences were wedged, Lin Yilan dug out small pits, planted the rose seedlings close to the fence evenly, and sprinkled cosmos seeds on both sides of the path in front of the house. Pulling the water pipe to the sea, Lin Yilan had just finished planting the flower seedlings, and he had also finished watering from beginning to end.

"Let's water the sunflowers, too."

"I'm planning to do that, too."

The two looked at each other and smiled. The green leaves of the sunflower are covered with catkins and fluff, which looks a little funny, and the water is poured on them, as if these strange white veils have been pulled off, and there is a feeling of "small sample, see where you are fleeing".

Pouring water on the sunflowers with a smile on the surface of the sea, Lin Yilan looked at the expression on his face, and couldn't help laughing. Lin Yilan smiled, and Xiang Hai also laughed, and the two of them laughed together inexplicably.

The sunflower drank the water to its heart's content, shook off the fluff that made it ugly, as if raising its head to be a new man, the leaves shook more cheerfully in the breeze, and the color of its body seemed to be darker, dark green and dark green.

After lunch, Xiang Hai washes dishes in the kitchen. Lin Yilan saw outside

Putting on the dark green notebook, she glanced at the kitchen with dark eyes, walked over and took the notebook in her hand, and sat back down on the carpet.

On page 1, it is still a small story written by Xiang Hai that I don't know whether it is true or false; Page 2 was written by herself, and it is estimated that Xiang Hai was so angry that she vomited blood when she saw it. She flipped and laughed herself.

Turning to page 3, I found that the words had been written on it, and the vigorous pen words were as chic and powerful as ever, so I wrote a paragraph: "I reached out and grabbed you, and carried you on my back." ”

Lin Yilan's eyes flashed with broken light. The sound of washing dishes rang in her ears, and she glanced towards the kitchen, only to see the empty doorway, but she seemed to see a person, her teeth slowly licking and biting her lip, her fingertips stroking the words on the paper, and pouting with a smile that she didn't even notice.

It's like suddenly getting a thick quilt in winter, and her hands that were numb from the cold gradually warmed up, and the numb and itchy feeling made her return to the world. She felt a little numb in her heart, and even her whole body was numb, a little overwhelmed, and a little surprised by the changes in her body or mind.

It's indescribable, but it makes her have some heart palpitations. It wasn't the kind of palpitations she was afraid of, but the palpitations that made her a little excited and hopeful.

Lin Yilan opened the cap of the pen, turned the page, and wrote on the back: "It's still better to have the air above, and it's better to carry it a little higher?" ”

When she finished writing, her heart was full of excitement, and she even laughed, so shocked that the people who were washing dishes in the kitchen looked over, and she quickly covered her mouth to say that she was fine, and the man retracted his head and continued to wash the dishes.

Lin Yilan put the dark green notebook back on the bookshelf in the living room, shrank her head and hid in the room. It didn't take long to hear outside

It didn't take long for her to hear a "poof-" squirting sound, and she rolled around on the bed with her stomach in her arms, laughing.

Xiang Hai hurriedly wiped the water on the coffee table and muttered, "I've been ridiculed again, I really have no conscience." ”

After a few days of scattered and cloudy weather, the sunflowers seemed to be greener under the sun, and the rose seedlings seemed to be alive, reflecting the sun's rays on the small leaves.

Lin Yilan and Xiang Hai leisurely carried a small bench and sat at the door basking in the sun, both of which were very comfortable.

I hadn't touched the paintbrush for many days, scratched my palms to the sea, went upstairs to take down the painting box with half-squinted eyes, casually stretched the 10x15 frame, squeezed some green paint on the palette, and slowly took the spatula to adjust the oil.

It's fine, Lin Yilan watched him apply paint to the canvas, and casually asked how the follow-up was to the person who was rescued last time.

Xiang Hai looked at the sunflowers in the sun, and said casually.

[Because of the root of the illness that fell last time, Hu Yi often coughed so much that he was almost out of breath, and he had to squat there for a long time before he could hold things up.

I didn't pay attention at first, but when I saw that he was coughing abnormally, I asked him seriously, and he giggled with me again, fooling me. Gradually, I got used to it, thinking that he was an adult after all, and it was impossible for him to treat his body as a child's play.

Scold! 】

Xiang Hai said, but he sneered unknowingly. The force of the pen is much heavier.

[Because of the heavy rain, all the ponds and rivers were filled with fish almost instantly, and I don't know where they came from. Men, women, and children had almost nothing else to do, they were all catching fish. Every tank is layered on top of each other, and most of the fish are salted in the tank.

I took the two largest salted fish in the house to his house, and found him making a fire in the yard with a basin in front of him, as if he were ...... Pickled fish?

Hu Yi squatted there very quietly in the firelight, holding a handful of fine salt in his hand, sprinkled a little bit on the fish, heard my movement, looked up at me, and his face flushed by the firelight looked good. His gaze fell on the fish in my hand, and he grinned, as if he was very proud, and lifted the fish in his hand and shook it twice.

"This is the fish I caught, you see." 】
