Chapter 84

The sun hung in the western sky, and it seemed that it would sink and set in a while, and the whole sky was like a burning pyre, and the temperature of the embers was no longer warm.

Lin Xiaochuan sat in a taxi and appeared again at the entrance of the commissary in the public cemetery, the old man was still reading the newspaper in the store to pass the time, at this time he saw this young man again, he met twice a day, and he was very close.

"Why is it again! It's not good to come to this place often, it will be contaminated with yin energy! "Old people like this believe in more or less superstition.

Although the old man said this, he had a bright smile on his face, and before Lin Xiaochuan could speak, he had already reached out to the shelf behind him and pulled the packaging bag of milk candy.

"No, you don't! Not today! Lin Xiaochuan knew that the old man knew that every time he came, he would definitely buy two packs of Wangzi milk candy, but this moment was different, the milk candy sister who bought in the morning must not have finished eating.

"Why not!" The old man has already ripped off two more packets, "These two packets don't cost money!" ”

Saying that, the old man insisted on stuffing milk candy into Lin Xiaochuan's hand.

Lin Xiaochuan can't resist the old man, and he still wants to go to the purse to pay for money, at least he can't take other people's money for nothing.

But as soon as the old man saw Lin Xiaochuan's action of taking out the money, he was even a little angry, left the counter in the store, walked out of the small door on the side, and stopped the ten yuan coin that Lin Xiaochuan held in his hand.

"Why are you disobedient!" The old man was holding back the money and complaining.

Lin Xiaochuan saw that the old man didn't want to collect money, so he had no choice but to give up. Then, he came back again because he was in a hurry, and the guano on his sister's stele had not been cleaned, and he had always been worried about it, so he turned back this time just to give his sister a good bath.

"Uncle! Do you have a rag or something? Can you borrow it from me? ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaochuan no longer cared about the two packets of milk candy he gave out, the old man returned to his previous energetic, lively and cheerful personality.

"What do you want to do with this!"

"I want to wipe the stone tablet of my loved ones!"

When the old man heard this, he was as happy as a flower.

"Wow" the old man sighed with envy and sighing, "It's good to have a child like you!" Even if you die, you can still enjoy pure happiness! ”

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand and motioned for Lin Xiaochuan to wait in place, and he went into the house to look for it.

Lin Xiaochuan looked at the exaggerated expression on the old man's face, maybe he would be a little wrong about his original meaning, but if he understood it wrongly, he would understand it wrongly, in fact, it was not far off, there was no need to explain it clearly to the old man, even if he explained, he might not be able to understand, but it would complicate the problem.

It didn't take long for the old man to find a wash and dry rag from the store, so Lin Xiaochuan borrowed a small bucket, carried some water, and walked in the direction of his sister's tombstone.

A small bucket of water, about ten catties, lifted up the slope, Lin Xiaochuan is a little sweaty.

At this time, the sun looked from the hillside, just like a ball of red dye ink dripping in the air, and the entire circle on the edge of the sky above his head gradually became a little dull black frame, and the evening breeze caressed his body, some pleasant, some cold.

However, standing in front of his sister, Lin Xiaochuan was very happy that he could do something for his sister, he just put down the bucket and gasped for two breaths before coming to the stone monument, and after that, he soaked the dry rag in the water and began to wipe his sister's body all over the place.

Xu knew that his brother was doing these physical tasks a little hard, and the evening breeze on the hillside was light and gentle, constantly blowing and supporting the grass on the ground and swaying his head in the air.

"Sister! If only you were here today! Then you can meet a lot of big sisters you like! They'll take you to play, they'll make you crazy, they'll make you mess around! It's better than what my brother did! ”

Lin Xiaochuan first wiped the stone monument at the front, especially the bird droppings that stuck to the surface, and then immediately after that, he went to wipe the stone tomb behind the stone monument.

When the original bucket of clear well water becomes light, then gray, and finally becomes like dripping ink

Lin Xiaochuan held the rag in his hand, his mouth gasped for a series of rough breath, he wiped it until now, his hand finally stopped at the top of the stone tomb, and when he thought of his sister's body buried under this small brick, he wished that he would lie in it too

"Sister, I really want your little hands to touch my head again, touch my hair, like a little adult" really sweat soaked clothes, neck, face are wet, standing in the evening breeze blowing, very cold, so Lin Xiaochuan lay down, lying on the stone slab ground next to the stone tomb, some string-like tender grass expanded to the surface of the stone slab, plus there are other stone tombs on the side of the wind, Lin Xiaochuan felt that lying like this, very comfortable.

In the evening of the public cemetery, it was quiet all around, only the sparrows and magpies on the poplar trees in the distance were chirping for a while, and then there were geese overhead, occasionally ten thousand geese chirping in unison, and the herringbone flew by.

Since Lin Xiaochuan has something on his mind, he wants to tell his parents, but his busy parents have never given the corresponding opportunity, every time at this time, it is Lin Xiaomei, who is a little bit, with a serious expression on her face, and a tone that looks extremely incommensurate with her age, so that Lin Xiaochuan mistakenly thinks that she can also understand.

"Sister, do you understand love?" Lin Xiaochuan looked up at the endless sky, and there were several super bright stars, which were already faintly visible.

"I'm afraid you're like me, you don't understand!"

"We are entangled in each other's resentment towards our parents, and it wasn't until you left this world that I finally gradually got rid of it, which is a little ridiculous to think about, but my salvation is directly linked to your accident" Lin Xiaochuan felt that if he continued to think like this, he couldn't bear the sins on his body, so he changed his words

"I feel like a girl has recently taken a liking to me"

"Sister, she is a girl as gentle as you, just as gentle, as considerate, and as always taking care of me"

"Talking about the taste of love with you, I guess how can you understand it when you're so young"

"But, sister, apart from being willing to talk to you, there is no one else in this world to talk to."

"If God closes one door, he opens another, sister"

"My parents are the door that God closed for me, and you are the window that God opened for me"

"Now the window is closed"

Lin Xiaochuan turned sideways, facing the side of the stone tomb, and the whole person, his whole face was attached to the surface of the stone tomb that had just been wiped, as if he was about to melt together with the stone tomb.

"But the reality is that even if God closes the door and closes the window, the iron house is pitch black, and the sullen man still has to live!"

As soon as Lin Xiaochuan thought of his desolate situation, his miserable childhood, and the dark curtain that he caused in his heart, he didn't say a word for a while, and his right hand was stretched far above the top of the stone tomb, as if he wanted to hug the stone tomb, and he hugged his sister when he hugged the stone tomb, and hugged his sister, just like a person is still alive, still looking for the window that once passed through the sun!

After a long time, Lin Xiaochuan sneezed, the sweat on his body had dried up, and his whole body skin was cold like a tofu block soaked in cold water, at this time half of the sun had fallen below the horizon, and the big sunset covered the remaining bare half, and the western sky was dyed red.
