Chapter 059: Coming Home
At two o'clock in the morning, Dong Xiaokui was woken up by Li Yongfeng. She had somehow fallen asleep leaning back in her chair. The dream is fragmented, but it is vivid.
She clearly remembered that it was a May day, the sun was warm, the sky blue seemed to be able to pour out the water, the back mountain of Lotus Xiangdu, the locust trees all over the mountain, and the strings of pink and white. In the silence, only the wind passed through, and the thatch on the ground rose and fell. The wind carries the sweet fragrance of acacia flowers. She took Xu Zhonglin to the depths of the sea of flowers. "It's a place I loved as a kid," she says. ”
He just said "um" and followed her behind. Dong Xiaokui pouted and walked in front, occasionally tiptoeing to pick locust flowers, regardless of whether the locust flowers had thorns. She wasn't tall enough to reach and jumped. Diagonally, he reached out and folded the locust flower and handed it to her.
Dong Xiaokui took it and didn't say a word, just stood like that, looking at the scenery of the distant mountains. In the distance, the mountains are undulating and smoky, and birds hover in the blue sky.
"After my father passed away, every time I came to Hexiangdu, I loved to walk here and sit down." She said. The eyes are moist before you know it. Huaihualin is the cemetery of the Dong family. Daddy was laid to rest there. Mom didn't come easily, because the existence of Dad's cemetery reminded her that she had lost the person she loved the most. However, every death day, Qingming, and Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother would prepare rich items to come here and talk to my father by the tombstone.
She always lets Dong Xiaokui go first. Dong Xiaokui did not go first, but turned around the locust forest. A few times, she turned to look at her mother. Leaning on his father's tombstone, it is like snuggling up to his closest lover. She couldn't bear to take a second look, so she wandered in the acacia forest. Because my father died in May, the acacia flowers always bloom in a grand bloom on the death day every year.
She misses her dad. Sometimes, I wonder who I will meet in the future and what kind of dialogue will I have. Will I meet true love like my mother? Even if you live and die, you can't separate love.
If you meet him, you must bring him here and tell him about today. On that day, that's what you're thinking about today, right? Later, she learned "When he cut the candles in the west window, but talked about the night rain in Bashan", she suddenly thought of this paragraph and smiled. Later, when I met Xu Zhonglin, I thought about taking him to sweep his father's grave and go for a walk in the acacia forest.
Xu Zhonglin stood next to him and didn't speak. Dong Xiaokui only felt a little frustrated, and stood aside stubbornly.
"I'll go back tomorrow, I might have a mission." When he finally spoke, he was talking about separation.
Dong Xiaokui's heart sank and said, "Then you should be careful." ”
"Hmm." He replied.
This time, he didn't comfort her as he usually did. That means the mission is dangerous. Dong Xiaokui thought like this, he was really not calm in his heart, and secretly scolded himself, what did he take him to the cemetery to do before he went to the mission? In addition, the locust flower itself is a yin thing, and in ancient legends, it is a plant that is associated with ghosts. These should be taboo.
As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly turned around and left, and as she walked, she said, "Let's go back, the mountain wind is quite strong, and it is easy to catch a cold." ”
He didn't follow, Dong Xiaokui turned around to look at him, but he was standing under a locust tree and looking at the flowers of a tree.
"Zhonglin, let's go, I'm a little cold." She shouted, a little anxious.
He stretched out his hand and folded a flower, walked over quickly, pinned it to her knotted bun, looked at it carefully, and said, "It looks good." ”
Dong Xiaokui panicked, and reached out to pull the acacia flowers on her bun. But the more panicked she became, the more she couldn't pull it off, she was a little anxious, and said, "What's so good-looking?" Who told you to wear this for me? ”
Yes, how can you not put a flower on her head before the mission.
"I'm not taboo about that." He laughed, grabbing her hand.
"But I'm taboo. I don't have any room for possibility. I don't even dare to think about it, and I am scared when I think about it. She said, very irritated, and broke free from his grasp, still grabbing the flowers in her bun.
He grabbed her hand, took her into his arms, and said, "It's all right." There was nothing before, and now, when I meet you, there is no more. ”
She knew he was powerful, but death was easy. She fell into his arms, smelled the faint aroma, and said angrily, "But I am taboo." I'm going to wear saffron. ”
"Knowing that your grades in kindergarten are poor and you haven't worn safflower, my son will meet your requirements in a beautiful way." He teased her.
However, Dong Xiaokui couldn't laugh at all, she was only worried in her heart, pursed her lips tightly, and heard the boundless sound of the wind around her, blowing the woods one after another, and the acacia flowers falling one after another, like a grand flower rain.
"However, white is the most flattering to your temperament. It looks good that way. He said.
"Bad guys." Dong Xiaokui said, but he couldn't break free from his embrace. Because he's holding it so tightly. After a long time, she didn't struggle, she only relied on him, and felt extremely comfortable.
She slept in the car, and slept very comfortably because she dreamed of such a scene. This kind of dream is actually very beautiful, so beautiful that she doesn't want to wake up, she just wants to lean on his arms, and from then on, the earth is desolate.
Li Yongfeng called her at first, but she didn't respond. He pushed her again, and she was still asleep. Finally, Li Yongfeng parked the car at the entrance of Yunlai Town, leaned over and shook her vigorously.
Dong Xiaokui woke up, opened her eyes and looked at the dark sky around her, she didn't react for a moment, and asked in a daze: "Why is it dark?" ”
"It's dark at the gas station. It's not that you don't know. Do you think I'm going to drive until tomorrow morning to get there? Li Yongfeng said, taking out a flashlight from the car.
Only then did Dong Xiaokui realize that this was not Huaihualin, and Xu Zhonglin was not in Jincheng. This is just after the earthquake escaped, and finally returned to the hometown. This is Li Yongfeng driving her back to Yunlai Town at night.
"Oh. I fell asleep. Where has it been? Dong Xiaokui replied, and only then did he react. One foot was so numb that I didn't dare to move.
Li Yongfeng saw that her feet were numb, reached out and patted her for her, and replied: "Yunlai Town is at the entrance of the town, but the black light is blind, and it is two in the middle of the night... Finish. ”
Dong Xiaokui was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll come by myself." She bent down and slapped her left calf. I heard Li Yongfeng say: "You dreamed of him, right?" ”
Dong Xiaokui paused, did not answer, and secretly thought that he was talking in a dream. Sure enough, Li Yongfeng continued: "You say, 'I'm taboo, I can't tolerate the slightest possibility, just think about it, I'm afraid'." ”
"Hmm. Be. She said. I didn't expect to be so anxious in my dream at the time, and I actually shouted these words.
"You can rest assured, this time, the whole army is on alert. He's going to be fine, it's just that he's going to have to stay around, you know. If something happens to one person, the world will be in chaos. He has a lot of responsibility. Otherwise, I would have come to you a long time ago. Li Yongfeng said slowly.
When Li Yongfeng said this, his tone was very slow, and his face was pinned to the side looking at the darkness outside the window.
The numbness in her legs finally passed, and Dong Xiaokui moved her legs. The heart is a little more relaxed, if Li Yongfeng said so, then Xu Zhonglin will not be so dangerous this time. In fact, she should also know what Xu Zhonglin's mission is this time, although it is not dangerous in theory, the responsibility is greater than any time. Because this time it may not be just in the capital.
"Alright. I'm going to ask where your mother's tent is. Li Yongfeng took a flashlight and jumped out of the car.
"I'll go. I'm familiar here. Dong Xiaokui said that when she moved, her feet were still a little numb.
"I'm the developer here, I'm more familiar with this place than you, and I have all the plans in my chest. I also have people stationed here, and besides, your feet are numb, and you won't pass so quickly. He replied as he headed into town. As soon as I walked a few steps, I saw someone around the corner shaking a flashlight in this direction. The flashlight was very bright, and Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"Four less?" Someone was shouting over there. Dong Xiaokui heard that it was Chen Jun's voice, but because of the backlight, he couldn't see his people.
Li Yongfeng stood in place and replied, "It's me." Chen Jun is not in the old house, but in Yunlai Town? ”
"Xu Shao asked me to take a look at Dong's mother's living situation and comfort Dong's mother. I just received a message from Miss Dong at night, saying that she had returned safely. I called but turned off the phone, expecting Miss Dong to come back tonight or tomorrow. So wait here. Chen Jun replied, put the flashlight on the side of the car, looked at Dong Xiaokui in the car, and then greeted her.
Dong Xiaokui nodded, and blurted out, "How is he?" ”
Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, and hurriedly replied: "Xu Shao is very good, but I miss you very much." However, he couldn't help himself. Please Miss Dong, don't blame Xu Shao. ”
"I understand." Dong Xiaokui replied, got out of the car, and asked, "Where is my mother?" ”
"Please follow me." Chen Jun said as he carried a flashlight in his hand and walked towards Yunlai Town. Although it was night, it could be seen that the pattern of Yunlai Town had not changed, and there were some slight cracks on the road surface, and it was not very hideous. Some of the old-fashioned houses seem to be slightly tilted, but they are not crumbling. It seems that this earthquake is a special favor for Yunlai Town, and it has not been included in the geological fault zone, otherwise Yunlai Town would not be safe and sound at a distance of about 50 kilometers from the epicenter.
"What's going on in this town?" Dong Xiaokui asked.
Li Yongfeng suddenly said, "Do you not believe me so much? I told you that Yunlai Town is fine. ”
Dong Xiaokui suddenly didn't speak, and the three of them walked together and walked to the school on the other side of the river. The school's large playground is the resettlement site, which is densely packed with tents.
Dong Xiaokui suddenly stopped and said, "My mother should be asleep." I'd better come back tomorrow. ”
The three of them stopped, and Li Yongfeng said, "It's okay, she worries about you every day and doesn't sleep well." That afternoon, when I came to see her, she couldn't help wiping away her tears, pulled me and said, 'Aoi will be fine, right?' He also said that when you were a child, you never treated you well or something. ”
Li Yongfeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, the three of them were silent. There was a cat meow in the silence, some alert, some coquettish. Dong Xiaokui could hear that it was a monkey's call.
"The monkeys are still here?" Dong Xiaokui asked. She originally thought that Chen Jun would take the monkey away.
"Well, it's still there. Your mother said that you gave the monkey to her care, and she was going to hand it over to you herself. Xu Shao also said to let the monkey wait for you to come back in Yunlai Town. Chen Jun replied.
Hearing the monkey bark again, Dong Xiaokui was a little unable to control himself, and said with some uncertainty: "I want to go and see." ”
The two of them didn't answer, but they saw that there was a tent with lights on. Chen Jun said, "Your mother is awake, go ahead." ”
Dong Xiaokui walked over quickly, stepped on a brick, and almost fell, she couldn't care about much. When I entered the tent, I shouted "Mom", and tears flowed down.
Mom was watching the monkeys, and around the time of the earthquake, she took care of them as her. When my mother heard her call, she was stunned, looked at her in a daze, and laughed all of a sudden, laughing out of tears, and while wiping her tears, she said excitedly: "My little Aoi is back, are you hungry?" ”
"Well, I'm back, I'm not hungry." As she spoke, she threw herself into her mother's arms, hugging her skinny tightly, her heart was suddenly steady, and the whole person seemed to return from suspension to down-to-earth.
That's nice. Mom is still there. She hugged her tightly and didn't want to let go. The monkey meows from the sidelines, as if in protest, as if coquettish. ......
