The sound of the man walking sounded in his ears, like the sound of someone walking on the concrete floor with a pair of slippers.

The person was getting closer and closer, but she still couldn't see the face clearly, she couldn't get any closer, and the boundless pressure came to her face.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a figure stood in front of the window in the darkness and looked at him.

Judging from the figure, it is not Yi Tian.

She was terrified.

"Who are you?"

The man didn't speak, turned and quickly left.

The sound of the clattering wheels clattering against the rails resounded, and there was an unusual silence in the carriage.

Loya got up and looked in the direction the man had left, and the sound of someone picking up boiling water could be heard at the junction of the carriages.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

After taking a sip of water, she was shocked, lay back on the bed, no longer sleepy, turned on the bedside lamp, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

On the side of the white pillow on the bed, a very conspicuous clown nose lay there quietly.

There was a sound of footsteps at the junction of the carriages, it should be Yi Tian who had returned.

She immediately grabbed the clown's nose and threw it under the bed, she didn't want to explain the origin of this nose to Yi Tian, let alone see Yi Tian's suspicious eyes.

When Yi Tian came back, he was a little embarrassed.

"I smelled smoke at the junction for a while, I'm afraid it will smoke you."

Luo Ya seemed to say casually: "Your addiction to smoking is too great, that thing doesn't have much benefit, it's better to quit." ”

"Isn't that easier said than done? I can't quit for a while. ”

At dawn, the train stopped at the station in the small town.

The town was very quiet in the fog, like a delicate cook.

A newly built community in the east of the town stands out from the low-rise buildings around it.

The goose's father, Lao Jia, was a stout man, and what didn't quite match his muscular figure was gray hair.

Speaking of the goose, Lao Jia's face was solemn, and he said that since the goose went to City B secretly before graduating from high school.

Over the years, he has returned to the town only a handful of times, and he rarely even calls him, the only thing that has not changed is that every month he will send a sum of money to his card on time.

Lao Jia's eyes moistened, and he said that he had a job of his own, and it was more than enough to support himself. The money sent by the goose was stored in the card as it was. He just wanted the goose to come back to see him from time to time, and the two of them had a drink, even if it was just a dry stare.

But Big Goose never gave him such a chance, he wanted to know everything about his son, from the newspaper, or on the Internet.

It's Qian Xiaomao, and Big Goose's ex-girlfriend often calls to care about him.

Lao Jia said: "Qian Xiaomao is such a good girl, this kid doesn't know how to cherish it, and he has learned badly outside these years." ”

Regarding the disappearance of the goose, Lao Jia said that he was also anxious, no, in the past six months, he has not slept peacefully, and his hair is almost white.

But there was no news of the goose.

Loya asked again, is it possible for the goose to return to the place where he used to live?

Lao Jia shook his head.

"I go there every day after work to see if he comes back one day! But I knew that it was not possible, there were many not-so-good memories for him, and he was quite resistant to it. ”

Luo Ya took out the letter and showed it to Lao Jia, asking him to identify it to see if it was the handwriting of the big goose.

Lao Jia glanced at it and was very sure that it was the handwriting of the big goose.

He said that the big goose writes very ugly when he writes small characters, like the words written by elementary school students.

Loya understands that there is always something incomprehensible about him who is particularly good at something.

Lao Jia was a little surprised: "I go to the original place every day after work, but I don't see him come back?" ”

Yi Tiandao: "Can you take us to the place where we used to live?" ”

Lao Jia was quite cooperative, saying that as long as he could find the goose, he would be willing to do anything, and when he said this, Lao Jia's eyes were red again.

Luo Ya thought, this is probably the mood of an old father.

But she is destined to not be able to experience the love from her parents in this life.

Spring in the town is cold, especially in this dilapidated neighborhood.

The branches of the sycamore tree are still bare, and the fallen leaves on the ground are not cleaned, and there is no spring color.

The hallway was cluttered with things.

Lao Jia explained that this community was built in the mid-70s and is indeed old.

The year before last, the municipal government renovated the old city, and the community was included in the scope of demolition.

Most of the residents have moved away, and a few families are reluctant to leave the area and have been holding their ground.

This old house is located on the second floor, and Lao Jia said that this house no longer belongs to his family in the strict sense, and last year, the house demolition money has been paid to his account.

When I opened the heavy iron door, a damp smell rushed towards me.

The house was fairly tidy, and Jia said he would come regularly to sweep the dust.

Luo Ya was very surprised in her heart, the scene here is almost exactly the same as the old home of her hairy eggs.

An old desktop TV, a wooden coffee table with pits, and a wooden sofa with missing legs.

In the big goose's room, there is even that pair of flower pants hanging in the closet.

Lao Jia was embarrassed and said that when he moved, the goose was not allowed to take anything in this house away.

On the wall above the desk hangs a picture frame with some old pictures of geese.

When the goose was small, he was still a delicate little boy.

There are several photos of middle school wearing school uniforms, with the marks of youth on their faces, and their faces are full of acne.

There is a photograph of three people who can be seen to have taken it together, but two of them have been coated with thick black ink.

"I guess, the other two must be the third child and Fang Fei!"

Lao Jia nodded and sighed.

"Alas, what a good two children, it's a pity."

While Luo Ya was talking to Lao Jia, Yi Tian stood still in front of the window, pondered for a few seconds, and squatted down.

"Uncle, look at half of the footprints here, is it yours?"

Lao Jia and Luo Ya looked at the place Yi Tian pointed to, and there were indeed half footprints there.

After all, Lao Jia is a big man and three coarse, and when he usually comes to clean, he inevitably can't take care of it in the corner.

Fifteen centimeters in front of the window had accumulated a layer of dust, and the half of the footprints were imprinted on the layer of dust.

Lao Jia was confused, he wasn't sure if he had been to that place.

However, Yi Tian soon had an answer.

"Uncle, do you usually wear leather shoes?"

Lao Jia shook his head and said that he either had cloth shoes or sneakers, which was convenient and needed for work.

"So, what about the goose? Uh, I mean Jiaqing. ”

Lao Jia recalled that he had seen the geese a few times over the years, but every time he came back, he was dressed up brightly, and he always wore shiny leather shoes on his feet.

Yi Tian was excited.

"This footprint is the shoe print of a leather shoe, indicating that the goose has really come back."

"But where has he gone now?"
