Chapter Ninety-Eight: Yesterday's Stars
Eeling Park has always been a good place to cool off, there are many uncles and aunts who come to fish, drink tea and play mahjong during the day, and now there is no one at night, it is extraordinarily quiet and cool. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past, every time I came here to visit the park, I would think that this would be my private garden. You don't have to go to work every day, you can leisurely read books, play the piano, enjoy flowers and bask in the sun in your own garden, there is no more comfortable way of life.
Jiang Yi said: "Actually, it is not very far, at most 5 or 6 kilometers. ”
"It's not far off?" When I knew that I had walked 5 or 6 kilometers, I suddenly felt that my legs were a little weak. I took out my phone and found that it was already half past four in the morning. I said, "We actually stayed down there for more than four hours." ”
Jiang Yi stretched his waist and said, "It's almost dawn, since we have found the direction, let's leave it at that!" Reporter Lin, remember our agreement. ”
"Of course, I'm your creditor now."
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "I'm leaving." ”
"Goodbye, Officer Jiang."
Jiang Yi waved at me, and when he walked past Meng Yingjiu, he patted Meng Yingjiu's shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother!" ”
Meng Yingjiu smiled and nodded at him, and Jiang Yi's flashlight quickly disappeared into the night.
After Jiang Yi left, I walked to the pavilion opposite the arch bridge and sat down. Meng Yingjiu followed me and said, "Don't you go back?" ”
"I want to take a break." I pulled him to sit next to me and said, "Don't you think it's beautiful here?" ”
"Hmm."
Actually, I'm not tired or sleepy at all, but I'm very sober because I have too many questions in my heart.
I asked Meng Yingjiu, "Will that woman die?" ”
"No, it won't."
"They're all in this together, aren't they? She and that python? ”
Meng Yingjiu didn't answer, and I continued: "I think the 'he' that woman said should be the giant python." ”
"Why?"
"It's just the feeling." I took a deep breath and asked, "Did you know that woman before?" ”
"I don't know, first time we met."
"Then why did she say... Say you... Not people, why say ... We didn't have good results. ”
Then there was the expected silence, and after a while I said, "I don't care if you're human or not?" Are we different? I just want to be with you, but I want to know what you think? Do you want to be with me? Will you dislike me when I'm old? ”
"No, it won't."
I was happy, but then I was a little uneasy, and I asked nervously, "What wouldn't be?" Won't you dislike me or... Won't we be together? So the things I was worried about weren't going to happen at all. ”
Meng Yingjiu got up and said, "Let's go back." ”
"Don't!" I turned my head and said, "If you don't make it clear today, I won't leave." "It's been a long time since I've been so willful, and I regret what I said impulsively. If he does turn around and leave, how will I end up?
Fortunately, Meng Yingjiu didn't turn around and leave, he just stood in front of me and looked at me condescendingly, but he still didn't speak. He never gave me a positive explanation, and I was already very upset, but now that he was watching me like this, I felt even more irritable.
My eyes were sour, and I felt like I was about to cry, and before I could cry uncontrollably, I bowed my head and said, "You can go." ”
Meng Yingjiu suddenly pulled me up and walked outside the pavilion. He had so much strength that I couldn't break free, so I had to hold on to the pillar with my other hand as I walked to the door.
Tears flowed instantly, and I cried and said, "I'm not leaving!" You're silent every time! Why don't you want to tell me what's going on? I want to face it with you! Because I really don't want to leave you. ”
Meng Yingjiu let go of my hand, unable to suppress the sadness in my heart, I simply hugged the pillar and cried loudly. Meng Yingjiu walked over, and I turned my head away from him.
He patted me gently on the back and said, "Don't cry, your cry will call them in a moment." ”
"Who?" Frightened, I stopped crying and said, "Here... Anyone else? Could it be that Jiang Yi hasn't left yet! "It's a shame for him to see it.
"He's gone, and there's no one else here." He paused and continued, "Everything has a spirit, and these plants will hear your cry. ”
All things have spirits. Is he talking about himself? I turned my head to look at him and said, "You... Really not human? ”
Meng Yingjiu reached out to help me wipe away the tears on my face, but he still didn't answer my question, I angrily shook off his hand and turned my head away.
His voice came from behind him: "I..."
I hugged the pillar and pricked up my ears to listen to him, my heart hanging in the air, nervous.
Meng Yingjiu said slowly: "I am indeed not a human being. ”
The breeze gently brushed through my body, and I felt like I was chilling from the tips of my hair to the soles of my feet. Although I had a premonition in my heart, although I wanted to know the answer, when this sentence really came out of his mouth, how I hoped that none of this was true.
I gasped and asked, "What's that?" Alien? Bloodsucker? Or..."Remembering the eye I saw just now, could it be that Meng Yingjiu is too?" I don't dare to think about it anymore.
"Because I didn't have a father, and my mother died in childbirth after giving birth to me, so the people in the village called me a demon, and my grandmother was forced to send me to the Taoist temple, otherwise those people would kill me, so that the people there would accept me."
He said this last time, but he didn't say it in such detail, it should have caused a lot of damage to his childhood, so he didn't want to talk about the past, and I kept pushing him. I let go of the pillar and turned to look at him.
Meng Yingjiu continued: "My grandmother often came to see me, and she told me that my mother was going up the mountain to collect medicine, got lost and walked into a cave, and she ate the wild fruit from a tree inside and conceived me. He looked behind me and smiled and said, "Grandma said I was the son of the mountain god." ”
The surroundings gradually brightened, illuminating Meng Yingjiu's hazy face, and then I realized that when he said these words, there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, his grandmother should be the best memory of his childhood, but he said that he was an orphan, and his grandmother should have died later.
"Later, I secretly went to the mountains and found the cave, but there was no wild fruit in it, only a stream." Speaking of this, his eyes dimmed, could it be that his grandmother lied to him about the story she told?
I said, "Did you find the wrong cave, or maybe the tree with the wild fruit was missing?" ”
He looked at me and said, "It doesn't matter, like you said the sky is clear today, and who will remember the night sky last night?" Yesterday the stars were all passing by. ”
