On the way, I met a herdsman who went out to herd sheep, he was a tall and strong man, and when he shook the whip, the sheep surged, and the demeanor actually had the momentum of a hero.

Xiao Luo stood on the side of the road and turned his head to look blankly, watching the sheep walk up the hillside and turn into white dots one after another.

Yi Zeran glanced at her obsessive eyes, and smiled playfully: "Do you want to take a sheep back to raise?" ”

Xiao Luo's head immediately shook like a rattle, feeding sheep in the big city, how strange to think about that situation.

Continue along the path, at the end of the road is a small two-story building that does not match the whole village, covering a somewhat large area, the walls are whitewashed and bright, and a square courtyard is built with stones outside, and you can faintly see the green plants that are scurrying out of the inside.

There was a group of young children playing games outside the courtyard wall, and the sound of chirping and laughter completely covered the sound of the wind, and when they got closer, they saw a sign hanging in front of the courtyard gate, which turned out to be an elementary school.

After a big circle, when I went back again, a group of people had already eaten and drunk, standing in place and chatting with each other.

Seeing Yi Zeran helping Xiao Luo back, Buhan stood up straight and greeted him, "Are you back?" ”

Yi Zeran didn't speak, glanced back at the van parked at the door, and the driver also reacted, patted his shirt and strode towards the door, leaving Buhan to say goodbye to the owner.

Mei Duo leaned on the woman's leg and looked at Xiao Luo with a timid face, and she should have realized that she was about to separate.

Xiao Luo touched Yi Zeran's shoulder, and the man led her to Mei Duo.

For a short time, she was a little reluctant to give up this little girl.

"My sister will come back to see you, and I will teach you how to draw when the time comes."

Mei Duo's eyes flashed with surprise, "Really? ”

"Really." Xiao Luo nodded and touched her soft hair.

Xu is mood has improved, and the next journey does not seem to be too difficult, after an hour of running, Xiao Luo and his party finally arrived at their destination.

Buhan playfully pulled the driver to the village for a walk, and Yi Zeran carried Xiao into the cemetery.

It had rained about two days ago, and there were slight signs of moisture in the grass, and the feet were so soft that the footsteps could not be heard at all, and only the sound of birds came from nowhere in the cemetery, which was crisp and tactful, diluting the sadness.

The cemetery is very clean, and the grass between the cracks in the stones grows exceptionally green because of the summer, and when you stand on the stone steps, you can see the white stones and the blue blades of grass overlapping, which makes people feel inexplicably calm.

There were also a few small grasses growing next to my mother's tombstone, with long and narrow leaves, not large, and huddled together in clusters.

Xiao Luo's fingers slid from the vigorous blades of grass to the cold stones, the fingertips moved slightly but no longer went up, and before he knew it, so much time had passed, and the sadness and despair that the sky was about to fall were all diluted by time.

Now, all that is left is the sorrow of the midnight dream, like a sip of bitter tea, from the mouth to the heart, the taste that no one can say.

A hand landed on her shoulder and patted it heavily, and she felt that power, and when she turned back to the man's eyes, it was also that heavy emotion, like a mountain, pressed on her heart.

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she sucked her sour nose and slowly leaned down, her cheeks pressed against the cold stone tablet.

There is a posthumous photo of my mother, a very spiritual photo, and the smile on her face is vivid.

It's as if time has been frozen, and no one has left.

Yi Zeran knelt beside her silently, raised one arm, and tried it several times in the sun, and finally fell quietly.

He knew that her girl was strong enough, so he just had to be by his side silently.

The birds in the distance seemed to fly far away, and no other sound could be heard in the cemetery, except for the low sobbing sound of the sobs, muffled, like an impermeable wall enveloping people.

Yi Zeran squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, thinking of what his father said yesterday, he was still cruel and domineering.

"I don't care, you have to come back!"

"Do you want to watch your father die?"

He didn't want to see his father become like this, even though he had cursed him and the family countless times.

But he didn't want to go back to country M, because everything here had already become his life.

Xiao Luo cried quietly for a long time, and didn't start wiping her tears until she was in tears, Yi Zeran held her in his arms, and rubbed her thumb on her face.

By noon, the sun had risen high, Xiao Luo's eyes were a little unopen, and he muttered with his head against Yi Zeran's shoulder, "Why have I been crying for so long." ”

Yi Zeran's palms covered her crying red eyes, and she put her lips to her ears and said softly: "Because I miss my mother." ”

The softness of the voice made people's hearts soften, and almost the moment he finished speaking, he cried uncontrollably.

This time it was a catharsis of crying loudly and being emotionally suppressed for too long, like a storm that had been held back for a long time in the summer.

Yi Zeran held her in his arms and gently patted her back with his palm.

When she cried so much that she had no strength to straighten the person, her black pupils met her watery eyes, "Tell your mother that you will live a good life, and you will be happier and happier than before." ”

Xiao Luo nodded, wiping away the tears hanging on his cheeks with the back of his hand, "Mother, I don't know when the next meeting will be, without you by my side, I will be obedient, work hard, and live well...... I think you ......."

Yi Zeran hugged Xiao Luo's shoulder, "Auntie, please rest assured, from now on, I will love her more than myself." ”

*

Buhan was eating rice at a family at the entrance of the village, and the kind old lady was carrying a spoon and enthusiastically adding rice to his bowl, and the driver next to him was sweating profusely.

When Yi Zeran came back, Buhan put down the bowl in his hand and beckoned people to come over, "Hurry up and eat, you have to rush back after eating, it will be dark if it is too late." ”

Xiao Luo looked up at the high sun, and felt a little emotion in her heart, she was still running around on the way to come at noon yesterday, and she was about to have the last meal and leave in a hurry today, and time urged people to be a little unable to react.

Yi Zeran bent down and carried her to the old lady's house, and the chubby old man had already brought out two bowls of rice from the kitchen, which was similar to the mutton soup he drank last time in the snack street.

Buhan took a sip of soup while holding the bowl, looking satisfied, "The food cooked by the eldest lady is almost catching up with the hotel chef, it's a pity that no one tastes it." ”

After serving the meal, the lady didn't mean to leave, so she walked slowly to Xiao Luo's side and said a dialect.

Xiao Luo didn't understand, and looked up at the eldest lady suspiciously.

The old man was a little anxious, pointed to the room inside, and made a very complicated gesture with his hand.

Buhan, who was intoxicated with food, was glared at fiercely by Yi Zeran, and someone finally realized the abnormal situation.

Buhan is a person who knows the routine, and when he went to the old man's house, he didn't mention the matter of rubbing rice, and first said that he was here to accompany a friend to come to worship his mother, and he said a lot about Xiao Luo and her mother's deeds, so moved that the old man had to pull him to stay for lunch.

Although he doesn't need to eat white food, taking money to buy food is completely different from the feeling of the host forcing him to stay for hospitality and then pay.

As a result, there was a little bit of a situation in this statement, Xiao Luo's mother and the old man knew each other, and the relationship should be not bad, the old man saw Xiao Luo who came to eat, and then thought of what Buhan said before, and immediately recognized Xiao Luo as the daughter of his old friend, and his emotions were out of control for a while.

After explaining clearly, Buhan applauded excitedly, "You can also rub your feelings out of a meal, and fate is wonderful." ”

Xiao Luo was also a little excited, it was better to know about her mother's living situation, but she couldn't understand what the old man said, let alone chat.

The old man took Xiao Luo's arm and said for a long time, and after finding that Xiao Luo didn't understand, he directly pulled the person into the house.

Yi Zeran even grabbed her other arm, interrupting the old man's movements, and pointed to the ankle on Xiao Luo's hand.

The old man nodded, and muttered as he pushed open the old wooden door.

The light in the room was a little dim, and then the dappled sunlight from the window could vaguely see the old layout inside, and the old man walked to the bed and fumbled for a while, and finally took out a small thing.

Buhan gave up a place, the sunlight fell on the old man's dry hand through the gap, it was a very beautiful peace charm, the body of the charm was a white jade, the sun could see the fine lines like flowers inside, and the thick lines of navy blue were braided into a knot very carefully.

She couldn't stop her excitement just by seeing the knot falling, she had seen her mother make the same thing, the weaving technique, the thick thread color, it was exactly the same.

Sure enough, the old man put the thing in Xiao Luo's hand and slowly said a lot of words.

Buhan translated on the side: "This peace charm was carved by your mother to the temple to find the old abbot, the things are valuable, and the woman in her neighbor is a greedy and cheap woman, so she put it here for the eldest mother, and it was originally going to be sent to you, but I haven't found a place to send things, and it has been delayed when I come and go." ”

said that Buhan was also very emotional, "This is really fate, if I hadn't delayed it yesterday, I wouldn't have climbed here to eat, and I wouldn't have met this lady." ”

Xiao Luo was so excited that his hands were trembling, and there was a line of small words engraved on the back of the turned peace charm: Luoluo is safe for life.

The tears that had finally been stopped in the morning seemed to have a tendency to make a comeback, Xiao Luo clenched his palms, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already red.

"Thank you, thank you...... Thank you so much. ”

She couldn't find any words to express her feelings other than thank you.

The old man should have guessed what she meant, and bowed to her with his hands folded.

After this little episode, the rice outside was already a lot colder, Buhan and the driver were not particular, still holding the bowl and drinking the soup, Xiao Luo was not in the mood to eat at all, holding the peace charm and looking over and over again.

Yi Zeran stared at her for a long time, and finally took the peace charm from her palm, "I'll help you put it on." ”

Xiao Luo nodded, sat down obediently in front of him and lowered his head.

Buhan put the empty bowl in his hand on the table, stretched out his finger and spoke to the driver next to him: "Here it is again, you see these two people have started again!" ”
