Chapter Seventy-Four: I'm leaving

On the morning of June 5, 2003, as soon as the bell rang for the end of the morning reading class of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to rush out of the classroom.

The fairy and Chubby followed closely behind.

The fairy only learned the bad news of the accident in Li Huizi's house from Leng Leng yesterday.

Yesterday, Leng Leng, Chubby, Xiao Chen, Li Haoyu and the fairy, a group of five of them waited for Li Huizi in the school for a day. However, when I waited until the evening self-study class ended, I didn't see Li Huizi.

Tomorrow is the day of the college entrance examination, if Li Huizi does not return to school today, he will not come to take the college entrance examination......

As soon as Xiao Chen thought of these uncertain factors in his heart, he was extremely scared.

He can't wait now, he can't wait for a moment, he is going to ask for leave now, he is going to Li Huizi's house to pick her up from home now.

"Xiao Chen, why are you going?" The fairy looked at Xiao Chen's back and shouted loudly behind her.

"Go find our homeroom teacher." Xiao Chen replied to the fairy from a distance, then turned around and walked out of their teaching building.

The fairy immediately pulled Chubby to the third year of high school next door and called Li Haoyu and Leng Leng to chase in the direction of Xiao Chen.

"What is Xiao Chen doing with their head teacher?" Li Haoyu asked as he trotted after them.

"The college entrance examination will be tomorrow, Li Huizi hasn't returned to school yet, you are not in a hurry, we are in a hurry, Xiao Chen is even more anxious. He probably went to ask their homeroom teacher for leave. "Said coldly and angrily.

He thinks that Li Haoyu and Li Huizi grew up together since childhood, and there is such a big thing in Huizi's family, but Li Haoyu listens to his father's words so much that he doesn't go back to take a look? He couldn't understand it, and he couldn't understand it.

The only answer he thinks is that Li Haoyu attaches too much importance to the college entrance examination and doesn't take Li Huizi to heart at all, so his attitude towards Li Haoyu in the past two days is extremely poor.

Li Haoyu can naturally hear the cold tone, and he can also see the cold attitude. But he didn't explain, he knew that it was useless for him to go back, nothing more than crying in pain like Keiko, and he couldn't solve any practical problems. He thought to himself, he must take the college entrance examination this time, if Huizi really has an accident in the future, he will take care of her as a sister in the future.

"Teacher, I'm going to take a leave of absence." As soon as Xiao Chen walked into the teacher's office, he shouted at his homeroom teacher, Li Longfei.

At this time, Li Huizi's homeroom teacher, Mr. Kong, was also there, and he was also shocked by Xiao Chen's voice, and slowly raised his head to look at Xiao Chen.

"What leave? I'm going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, so I'll go back. Li Longfei stood up from his desk, looked at Xiao Chen, and said sharply.

"I'm going to ask you to do it today or not. I'm just here to tell you. After Xiao Chen finished his words coldly, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop! The college entrance examination is going to be tomorrow, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Li Longfei shouted at Xiao Chen, and walked out of his desk quickly.

At this moment, the fairy and the four of them chased after them out of breath.

Leng grabbed Xiao Chen and signaled him to calm down first. He walked up to his homeroom teacher, Teacher Kong, and said worriedly: "Teacher Kong, the college entrance examination is going to be tomorrow, and this Li Huizi will not come back." We're all in a hurry. If she really doesn't come back to take the college entrance examination...... what will she do?"

"Oh, Xiao Chen's leave is just for this?" Li Longfei suddenly realized that he was taking care of himself.

"I know that you guys are playing well, and you're all worried about Li Huizi, but in fact, I'm more worried about her than any of you. You can go back to the classroom now, and I promise she'll be back this morning. The cold head teacher, Mr. Kong, also stood up from his seat and swore solemnly.

"Teacher, are you serious?" Xiao Chen and Leng Leng asked in disbelief.

"Seriously! If she doesn't come back this morning, I'll ride my bike to her house in the afternoon to pick her up. You guys can go back to the classroom right now. The cold head teacher said again.

"Yes, yes, you go back to the classroom first, Teacher Kong said that Li Huizi will go back to school, and she will definitely come back." Li Longfei also echoed.

"Well, if by the time the afternoon class comes, she hasn't come back. I asked for leave to go to Huizi's house to pick her up. Xiao Chen emphasized again.

"We'll go together then." Leng looked at the fairy and Chubby, patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, and said to the two teachers in front of him.

"Well, when the time comes, I'll go with you." Teacher Kong nodded and said. When the five of them saw Teacher Kong's sincere expression, they went back to the classroom with confidence.

In the two days that Li Huizi was at home, she still didn't eat anything.

After she returned from her parents' cemetery yesterday, Lee Ming-che, as well as Zhen'er's mother and Lee Ho-woo's mother, did not dare to leave Lee Hye-ja's house for fear that she would not want to do something stupid.

Just after breakfast time, Li Haoyu's father came to Li Huizi's house. He decided to send Li Huizi back to school today, which he promised Li Huizi and their teacher at that time.

He said bitterly to Li Huizi for a long time, but Li Huizi was still indifferent.

Li Mingzhe wiped his tears from time to time, and said to Li Huizi in a serious tone: "Sister, if my uncle and aunt knew that you were like this, they would not be at ease below. Just listen to my brother's advice and let Uncle Li send you back to school. Tomorrow you will take the college entrance examination. Don't worry, I'll take care of you in this house. ”

"My family is gone, what school do I still go to?" Li Huizi cried and muttered to herself.

"How can you think that? You're so young, you don't go to school, what do you want to do? If your dad and mom knew what you thought, they would be sad too. Kid, let's go with my uncle. Li Haoyu's father said again.

Li Huizi didn't speak, she got up and walked to her parents' room, and after a while, she took out a passbook from her parents' room, handed it to Li Haoyu's father, and then said: "Uncle, I know that when my father and my mother rescued this time, there was still money for their funeral, and it was all made up by the neighbors." This is the only passbook in the family, and there is not much money. Please take it, how much can you repay, the rest of the money, when I have money in the future, I will return it to everyone, and please help me to say to everyone. After speaking, she bowed deeply to Li Haoyu's father.

"Son, what are you doing here? Get up. Li Haoyu's father hurriedly grabbed Li Huizi with his hand.

"Kid, you don't have to pay back that money. It was willingly given by everyone, and it was everyone's heart, and you have put this passbook away. We don't want to do anything, let's go to the exam tomorrow," Li Haoyu's mother said as she wiped her tears.

"Yes, that's a piece of the big guy's heart, you don't need to pay it back." Zhen'er's mother also chimed in.

"Uncle, aunt, I want to go to the cemetery to see my parents again, and I will go back to school after reading." Li Huizi cried again, and simply stuffed the passbook into the hands of Li Haoyu's father.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Lee Ming-che said.

"No, I just want to go by myself." Li Huizi said.

With that, she picked up one of her own hoes and walked to the field where her parents were buried.

Li Haoyu's father was not at ease, and motioned for Li Mingzhe to follow quietly behind. Li Haoyu's mother and Li Zhen's mother each sighed, told Li Haoyu's father again, and went back to their respective homes.

Li Huizi walked to her apple orchard and saw that the fruitful apple trees were covered with brown paper bags, and she was even more sad. She suddenly picked up the hoe in her hand and smashed it against an apple tree beside her, "It's all because of you, if it weren't for you, my dad and my mom wouldn't have left me, I hate you." They're gone, why are you still alive? ”

She screamed like crazy as she slammed it.

Li Mingzhe stood not far behind her and looked at her, muttering to himself: "Smash it, smash it, just vent it." ”

In a few moments, all the fruits of the innocent apple tree had been smashed by her, and the branches of the tree had been smashed to pieces, and it looked very miserable.

After a while, I don't know if she was tired, she suddenly threw away the hoe in her hand and walked towards the grave of her parents not far in front of her.

Lee Ming-che just stood there and didn't follow, he thought it would be good to look at her from such a distance, and let her cry happily alone.

When Li Huizi walked to her parents' cemetery, she knelt down directly. She kowtowed her head in tears and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm leaving, I'm leaving this place." Maybe I won't come to see you again for a long, long, long time, please don't blame me, don't hate me, and when I figure everything out one day, I will come back to accompany you, and at that time, I will never go anywhere again. ”

After saying that, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed a dozen times, then resolutely stood up from the ground and walked out of the apple orchard.

Li Mingzhe, who was standing in the distance, looked at Li Huizi walking towards him, and immediately flashed.

When Li Huizi returned home, she went to her parents' room to pack up briefly, and stuffed a family photo of the family of three during the Chinese New Year this year into her backpack along with their household registration book. Then, she went back to her room and took out the more than 1,000 yuan she usually saved, her ID card, and a few sets of changes of clothes and stuffed them into her school bag.

Finally, she picked up a blank piece of calculation paper on her desk and wrote down a paragraph heavily:

Uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers, Brother Mingzhe, I'm gone, don't look for me.

I'm going to a place far away where I want to go and you can't find me. Don't worry, I'll be alive and well. Perhaps, after a short time I figured it out, I would come back; It's also possible that I won't come back for ...... long time, and during my absence, I will trouble you to go to my parents' graves to burn some money for them on the Qingming Festival and Halloween Festival every year.

When she was done, she pressed the paper to the middle of it with a book and placed it in the center of her desk.

Before leaving the door, she looked at her room with nostalgia, and then looked at her parents' room, and walked to Lee Ming-che and Lee Hao-woo's father, who were standing in the courtyard waiting for her.

"Brother Mingzhe, Uncle Li, after I return to school, my apple orchard, you can contact me to transfer it out, and the money will also be used to pay off the debts of the villagers." After speaking, she bowed to Li Haoyu's father again.

Li Haoyu's father kept saying: "Okay, good. ”

Li Mingzhe wiped his tears and cried and said, "Sister, start taking the exam tomorrow, don't think about anything, brother is waiting for you to return triumphantly at home." ”

Li Huizi cried and said vaguely to Li Mingzhe: "Brother Mingzhe, ...... in the future My dad and my mom, if you have time, go see them for me. ”

"Hmm." Mingzhe nodded heavily.

Li Huizi looked around at her yard again, the peaches on the peach tree were pink and tender, the green vegetables were also pink and green, the butterflies were flying around in those greens, and the bees were still buzzing on the petals of the flowering cucumbers, which seemed to indicate that the owner of the house was still there, as if they had never left.

Li Huizi finally let out a long sigh and resolutely walked out of her house.

"I'm leaving, everything familiar here, goodbye." She thought silently in her heart, and suddenly a stream of hot tears ran down her cheeks again.
