"Well, I've finished reading it, and I've finished reading the previous books, so I'll pay you back another day."

"Those two books are for you and don't have to be returned, do you know why I sent them to you on purpose?"

He Yingxue retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at him and asked blankly, "Why?" ”

"Do you remember the first book I showed you?"

"20,000 miles under the sea."

"Is there any connection between these three books?"

He Yingxue Nu shook her head blankly, looking at Li Zifeng's face blankly, her sloppy gaze let Li Zifeng know that she didn't look at herself.

Li Zifeng knows that her memory is amazing, and now her mind is probably blank, and she has to deal with herself, she can always inadvertently make people feel distressed.

"Those three books are a series, called the Ocean Trilogy, think about it carefully, does Myst Island connect the plot threads of the first two parts?"

He Yingxue finally remembered what he said, and finally had a little vitality after such a distraction, and there was still a depression between the words, but at least her eyes were bright: "Yes, I forgot." ”

"I only found out now, it seems that I overestimated your cleverness."

He Yingxue remembered reading these books with her father, her heart was desolate, and she remembered that her father's only wish was that she could go to college, and she suddenly wanted to know what college was like to make her father look forward to it so much.

"Brother Zifeng, what is the university like?"

Li Zifeng looked at her sad and lost appearance, and slowly said about the campus of his university, the wide campus gathered students from all over the country, clubs with various interests and hobbies, a lively basketball court, a football field on the green grass, a computer classroom with a network, and a library with a rich collection of books. Fight for your dreams with three or two like-minded friends.

He Yingxue sketched in her heart, it turned out that the school that her father wanted her to enter was so beautiful, she would definitely be admitted to college, so that her father had no regrets, He Yingxue hugged her knees and shrunk into a ball, and her face looked a little better.

Li Zifeng breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally it was a little effective, Li Zifeng saw He Yingxue hugging his knees, and it was the familiar poor little rabbit, reaching out to take her shoulders and hugging her in his arms.

He Yingxue wanted to find a life-saving straw, her original trance heart had a trace of warmth, she lay in Li Zifeng's arms, as if she had once been lying in her father's arms, her nose was sore, and the tears she couldn't bear finally found an outlet.

Li Zifeng patted her back gently, just crying, looking at her reluctant to vent, he was really worried that she would not have a problem with herself. When the person in his arms stopped crying, but lay there motionless, he looked down and saw that he was tired of crying and fell asleep, he couldn't let her soak in his own tears, and carefully put her head on his knees. The night wind hit, and the tear-soaked clothes on his chest were cold, and suddenly he had mixed feelings in his heart, she was only fourteen years old in two or three months, why should she go through these pains.

Yang Yang looked at this scene and was completely convinced, it had been a whole day, so (points) more (open) people (one) rounds (down) to persuade him, He Yingxue didn't have oil and salt, I didn't expect Li Zifeng to let her cry out of the pain she forbeared, and I don't know when Yang Yang fell asleep on the stool in a daze, and only Li Zifeng looked at He Yingxue's face in a daze in the mourning hall.

More than an hour later, seeing that it was about to be five o'clock in the morning, relatives and friends who were helping stepped into the small courtyard one after another, He Yingxue was awakened, looked at the faint figure in the courtyard blankly, and was stunned for a while before remembering that she was in her father's mourning hall, and fell into sadness again.

Li Zifeng gently tapped his numb legs, looking at the ignorant appearance of the little rabbit who had just woken up, and seeing that she was sad when she came back to her senses, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sad or at least alive.

Yang Yang was awakened by the cold and shivered from the cold, He Yingxue pulled the coat he was wearing and handed it to him, he was embarrassed not to take it, Li Zifeng took it and put it on her again. The three of them sat silently.

The yard gradually became lively, the sound of pots and pans came from the kitchen, and the funeral was about to be sent after breakfast, He Yingxue cried to death, He Yingxue held her father's posthumous photo and cried silently, and the long line went out of the village and headed towards the grave mountain in the village.

Near noon, the hemp rope on He Yingxue's body was thrown into the fire in front of the grave, Mr. asked the funeral team to go back, leaving only the workers who repaired the tomb mountain, Yang Yang and Li Ziyue pulled He Yingxue down the mountain left and right, Li Zifeng followed behind them, He Yingxue lost her soul again, and was dragged away by them with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and slowly several people fell behind.

Li Zifeng stepped forward with a sigh, stopped his sister and Yang Yang, frowned and said, "You two go by yourself, leave this girl to me." ”

Yang Yang pulled Li Ziyue, who was confused, and let go, Li Zifeng squatted in front of He Yingxue, pulled her on her back, and carried her step by step towards the foot of the mountain.

Li Ziyue raised her foot and was about to follow, but Yang Yang grabbed her: "Xue'er needs a little space." ”

"But if my brother can go, why can't we? We're her best friends, and Cher needs someone to keep her company with her right now. ”

"The two of us don't know how to comfort her, your brother is an adult, I think he should have a way to do all the good Xue'er, let's wait here for a while."

Li Ziyue looked at Yang Yang suspiciously and said, "But my brother and Xue'er are not familiar with each other?" How did he know how to comfort Cher. ”

"How do you know they're not acquainted?"

"What?"

Meaning that he said the wrong thing again, Yang Yang hurriedly changed his words: "I mean that it doesn't matter if you don't know each other, just have a way, how scary it is that Xue'er has been refusing to cry yesterday, and then your brother made Xue'er cry in a few words at night, your brother is a wise person, he must have a way to persuade Xue'er, let's wait." ”

Li Ziyue nodded, his brother's cleverness was naturally undoubted, and he turned around and walked to another path and said to Yang Yang: "Okay, I believe in my brother." The sun is so big, we can't just stay here all the time, let's go downstream. ”

Li Zifeng put He Yingxue under the big stone on the shore, wet the handkerchief in his trouser pocket, carefully wiped the sweat on her face, and saw her look blank, but said angrily with unspeakable pity in her heart: "He Yingxue, do you want to go home like this and make your mother sad again?" ”

He Yingxue's body stiffened, her eyes finally had focus, and she looked at Li Zifeng with red eyes and couldn't say a word.

Li Zifeng stopped her into his arms and softened his tone: "Xiaoxue, I know you are sad now, but the deceased is gone, for yourself and your mother, cry if you want to, don't embarrass yourself, I'm here." ”

He Yingxue finally cried lowly, her voice slowly amplified, and she cried heartbreakingly. Li Ziyue and Yang Yang downstream both heard her sad cry, and the two couldn't help but reddened their eyes, in their eyes, this was the first time that the strong girl had cried.

Li Ziyue choked up and said: "It's really unfair to God, Xue'er took her father's feet before she went to school, and now she has taken her father's life." ”

"First bitter and then sweet, one day Cher will be happy."

The two looked at the direction where the cry came from in the distance, wondering if Cher could regain her former cheerfulness.

Li Zifeng looked at the little girl crying in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh, this stupid rabbit is usually very aggressive, but it is not easy to enter her heart, although she and Ziyue have a good relationship, but Ziyue is the object of her protection, she will not be weak in front of Ziyue, her most trusted uncle is in prison, there is no way to rely on her at this time, if no one lets her come out in time, she will probably shrink herself into the turtle shell. Thankfully, I came back.

An hour later, He Yingxue, who was tired of crying, finally calmed down, and watched Li Zifeng's clothes be messed up by his own tears and snot, and he was very upset.

Li Zifeng saw her expression and understood that she was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Silly rabbit, I finally know that I'm sorry, this is not the first time, I'm used to it." ”

He Yingxue's expression froze, remembering the cartoon Li Zifeng sent her, and remembering the white T-shirt that was also stained by her tears and snot when she was eight years old, and she didn't know whether to apologize for a while.

Li Zifeng looked at her stunned appearance, bent down and took a handkerchief to clean up her crying face, and waited until it was cleaned before asking gently, "Do you want to go home now?" He Yingxue's eyes darkened and nodded, Li Zifeng held her face and let her look at herself and said: "You are He Yingxue who is not afraid of heaven and earth, strong and brave is your character, go back and eat something and sleep again, you will get better day by day in the future." ”

He Yingxue saw trust in his serious eyes, firm trust, her hollowed out heart suddenly gave birth to a lot of strength, the little uncle said that she has grown up, and she has to learn to take care of herself and take care of her mother without her father in the future. In the future, she won't be so useless anymore, she still has to fulfill her father's wish and be admitted to college.

Li Zifeng watched her eyes regain their light little by little, raised the corners of his mouth and turned around and squatted in front of her and said, "Come on, take a good rest at the end, and I'll send you home." ”

He Yingxue looked at Li Zifeng's back and lay on his stomach, he walked very steadily, bringing her out of the darkness step by step, so that she had infinite strength to face the suffering in the future, she leaned on his back and fell asleep peacefully, and she didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Li Zifeng heard Ziyue say that He Yingxue had been asleep, and he was anxious, but he had no way to see her, and he couldn't do anything at home, until he received Liu Ling's pager, he realized that he was abnormal, remembering the conversation with Ran Congwei two weeks ago, he smiled bitterly, that guy was right.
