74 Sunflowers
Xiang Hai panted, twisted his good-looking brows and squinted into the distance, now at this point, there are not many people swaying in the cemetery, but he still ran over one by one to confirm, and ran to the two wordless monuments again, only to be sure that Lin Yilan was really not here.
"It's all my fault for not paying attention to people and making you bother with all this."
"It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, she is bent on avoiding you, and you are helpless. In the final analysis, it's just my fault, if I explain it to her at once, she won't sneak out alone to find the answer. ”
Xiang Hai patted the truck driver on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, and he crouched in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and continued to dial the other party's call with his mobile phone, and the shutdown prompt was still coming from a mechanical female voice. He closed his eyes for a long moment before he let out a long sigh.
The truck driver, who had really never seen this situation in front of him, felt that he should open his mouth to comfort his new employer, after all, they were all acquaintances, and the money given by others was more and easier. But his mouth opened and opened, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word of comfort, secretly patted his stupid mouth, and in the end, he just reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
Xiang Hai felt the comfort from the truck driver, raised his eyes to look at the other party, and smiled gratefully.
"I'm tired of you today, I'll settle the rest of the things myself, you can go back to accompany the child as soon as possible."
"Haven't they been found yet? I'm looking for you. ”
Xiang Hai stared at the string on the mobile phone screen, and he didn't know how many times he had typed the numbers in a daze, "It's okay, you go back first, and say hello to your child on my behalf." ”
The truck driver hesitated for a few minutes before turning around in ten steps.
Xiang Hai was a little upset, squatted under the shade of the tree for a while, and then went to the smoking room to smoke. He smoked fiercely, one after another, and in the smoke, he suddenly thought, will the other party go directly to the prison to find someone to settle accounts?
He knew that Lin Yilan was very smart, maybe she had sorted out the relationship when she asked him a question yesterday afternoon, but he chose to further deceive and drag, the other party didn't get the information he wanted to know from him, and went directly to the party back then, which was very possible!
Xiang Hai extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, hurriedly ran out of the smoking room, and took a taxi to the prison where Lin Yuemei served.
Xiang Hai had just taken a taxi to leave when another taxi stopped.
Lin Yilan paid for the car, bowed down and hugged a bouquet of stars and a bouquet of sunflowers in the car, which had just turned a corner and bought from the flower shop over there.
It's just November, and the sun is still a little spicy.
Lin Yilan held two bouquets of flowers and walked quietly in the sparsely populated cemetery. She remembered that the two wordless tablets were in the 12th row of the D area, and the positive number of tombstones 06 and 07 were located.
The hot sun fell on her, and she calmly endured it, the sunflowers in her arms bloomed more vividly, and the stars in the sky swayed more cutely.
She walked quietly, and her footsteps could not be heard, even in the bright sun.
"Area A...... Area B......"
She was quiet step by step
walking, but staring intently at the direction of the sign. Finally...... She saw the signboard in the D area, her eyes couldn't wait to look over, and her feet couldn't wait to run, as if they were competing with each other to see who was faster. However, the eyes are slightly better.
Lin Yilan stared intently at the two wordless tablets, exhaled a breath with spasms, squatted in front of the two wordless tablets, stared at the smooth tombstone that slightly showed her outline, and saw herself who couldn't tell what expression was on her face, and also saw the two bouquets of flowers in her arms. She woke up from a dream and placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone. It seems that the conversation has also opened up from the flowers, and she finally knows what to say.
“…… Hello. I promised to bring you sunflowers last time, but I forgot when I went out, and the sunflowers have already fallen clean, so I bought a bouquet from the florist, and I hope you will like it. I don't know, which of you prefers sunflowers and which one prefers a starry sky? Then I'll put it in front of me, and you can all see it, it's very fragrant. ”
Lin Yilan hesitantly stretched out her hand forward, touched the tombstone that was a little hot by the sun, and tried hard to think about what Xiang Hai had said when she was a child, and she had followed her mother to find her father, but after thinking and meditating for a long time, she still didn't remember anything. So she was even more angry with herself, and she raised her arm and bit herself hard, as if in this way she could kill her resentment and guilt towards her parents.
She wasn't distracted by the pain in her arm, and her voice was still gentle.
"Listen to Xiang Hai, my name is Yiyi? Why? She looked at the tombstone reflecting the light, and also saw a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, so she became a little shy, pursed her lips, and said, "The name is very good, better than my current one, was it taken by my mother?" Or did Dad take it? ”
"Over the years, I have missed you very much, and because of some relationships, I swept the wrong grave, so every year during the Qingming Festival, presumably the grave of the second elder can only return to the sea to sweep the grave. Thank you so much to him. ”
"I don't know why he wouldn't tell me about my relationship with you. I came here this time, I guess he's crazy......"
Lin Yilan squatted on the ground with some numb legs, so she simply sat on the ground with her butt and covered the red bag in her arms with her clothes. The sun was shining on her body, as warm as fluff, like a small quilt holding her in her arms, and her mood was finally brighter.
She reached out and stroked the bright yellow petals of the sunflower, and saw some yellow pollen falling out of the stamens, so she leaned down and leaned over to smell it, smelling the sweetness and happiness in her nose, as if she also firmly grasped happiness by her side. She blinked, glanced at the wordless tombstone, and whispered, "Dad, let me help you taste what this pollen tastes like?" It smells so sweet, I have to taste it, you don't tell Mom. ”
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her fingers, picked out a little yellow pollen, put it on the tip of her tongue and licked it clean, and then frowned slightly, sprinkling like a child, "Dad, this is not delicious, the fragrance is deceiving." ”
A wind blows from behind,
Blowing the bright yellow petals of the sunflower, like a yellow elf shaking its head, responding to what she said. Lin Yilan suddenly recalled what Xiang Hai had said about his conversation with his master.
Hai: "Why don't you do anything?" Just look at these sunflowers? Can they become immortals? ”
The master looked at him lazily after a long time, stretched out his finger to take a little from the yellow pollen, reached the tip of his tongue and licked it, and frowned slightly.
He said, "My daughter likes sunflowers very much, and every time she sees them, she sticks out her tongue and licks the sweet-smelling stamens, but every time she is frowned astringently, she still carelessly licks them every time." One time I couldn't help it, so I licked it myself, and after licking it, I pretended to cry, and she was scared to cry by me. On the one hand, I thought it was funny, and on the other hand, I felt that I had deceived her.
After that, she finally stopped licking that thing, but every time she saw a sunflower, she would turn around and drag me to run, for fear that I would lick it again. She wants to protect me......"
Lin Yilan set her eyes on the bouquet of sunflowers, her face softened a little, she was about to taste the somewhat astringent pollen again, but suddenly saw a figure approaching her on the slightly reflective tombstone. The silhouette of this person was very unfamiliar, she subconsciously became vigilant, and as soon as she bent down from the gap between the tombstones to the back, she immediately saw a strange man, his hands were making a forward movement, presumably just about to catch her.
"What do you do?"
This person saw that a little girl on the other side stood indifferently as if she was not afraid of anything, and talked to him without fear, subconsciously feeling that there might be traps around. Instead, he took a small step back, looked left and right, and saw no one else, and couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking too much.
So he put his mind at ease and said, "Someone has paid, please come and talk about it." What do you think? Do you want me to do it, or do you want to come with me yourself? ”
Lin Yilan looked at him coldly, looking up and down to see if the other party had any loopholes, but suddenly saw the tomb of Mr. He Wu, the lettering teacher behind the two wordless tombstones, and the tomb of Ms. Chen Linxia, and the people who erected the monuments were all to the sea.
Her throat moved, and she slightly stretched out her head to look at the position of the sunflower, which happened to be He Wu's tombstone. Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears, and a strong sense of belonging and closeness embraced her. When she came out of the detention center, she endured the sourness in her chest, and finally reached a critical point, if it weren't for someone in front of her, she would just sit on the ground and cry.
The man on the other side thought that Lin Yilan was crying in fright, so he wanted to come to her and take her away, who would have thought that Lin Yilan would suddenly kick him over with a kick, and the next kick would be pressed on his neck!
This man was shocked and angry, and the sudden fall made him hurt all over his body, and his hand seemed to have hit the tombstone on the side, I don't know if there was a broken bone, but it hurt badly anyway. He subconsciously wanted to resist, but his neck was stepped on tighter by the girl, and he immediately screamed.
"Spare your life, spare your life, spare your life, I'm talking about playing, I'm just passing by! You bought this flower so beautifully, where did you buy it? ”
Lin Yilan looked at each other hatefully while crying
。
She knew she couldn't hold it anymore, and that familiar sense of anxiety came to her again! She forced herself to relax, but she hated the chatter of the man at her feet, and she wanted to kick the man down! No, this person has already fallen. She wanted to kick this person in the mouth, but she forced herself to hold back, and when she was struggling, a slightly familiar voice behind her screamed, "My mother, my aunt, you are here, oops, fortunately I came back to take a look, this is okay!" I'll call right away, don't run anymore! ”
Lin Yilan looked back with tears on her face and sobbing, it turned out to be the truck driver, who was he talking to on the phone?
As soon as she let go, she stepped on the air, and the man rolled on the spot and fled. She didn't want to chase it, anyway, her mood had already started to get bad, and if she chased it, she might not know how to start.
The truck driver hung up the phone neatly, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yilan's wrist, but Lin Yilan was irritable and threw away, and the driver immediately blocked in front of her, looking like he didn't let her run around, and now Lin Yilan was even more anxious.
She put her hand on the tombstone and stroked the smooth back, trying to calm herself, but her mind was not listening to her now, and her thoughts began to slowly sharpen, and there was something wrong with her eyes looking around, very anxious, very angry, very uncomfortable. I want to be sabotage.
Lin Yilan began to pant with her mouth, exhaling and inhaling in big gulps, trying to regulate her heartbeat, and finally when she drove away a little anxiety, she heard familiar footsteps from far and near. She didn't look up to know who was coming, but she didn't want the other party to see her like this again, so she pretended to be a scoundrel and hugged a wordless tombstone, unwilling to let go.
