Chapter 3: The Journey of Sorrow
The trees on both sides began to retreat rapidly, and Liukai's slow steps began to run rapidly, and memories rushed out like a flood of floodgates. The details of his departure from his grandparents became clearer and clearer in his heart like the recovering grass and trees.
Because of the grandparents under their own influence, their bodies began to weaken day by day, especially grandma couldn't bear it and fell ill, and finally slowly realized these Liukai, chose to leave alone, and deliberately rented a house by himself. Although he didn't want to believe that his relatives became like this because of himself, in fact, it was also because after doing so, Liukai found that the conditions of his family members or friends who were close to him were slowly improving.
"Maybe it's a mistake for me to live? Even so, I'm still wrong again and again~! Thinking of this, Liukai's running footsteps stopped in such a self-talk. And when Liukai raised his head and looked at the tall building in front of him, he found that he had unknowingly come to the front of the school's teaching building.
The tall school building is just as I remember it, and under the clear blue sky, the staircase composed of the big Z letters is extremely clear. Liukai lowered his head and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, the sun was so dazzling, and his eyes were sore and painful. He began to walk towards the door of the school building, and in the quiet corridor, only in the classrooms on both sides, the sound of reading could be heard from time to time.
Liukai's face showed an extremely puzzled expression, his eyes kept looking around the corridor, it is said that he would always see him at this time in school, although every time he was caught by his grandfather before, he was often in such an unfortunate situation, but now Liukai wants such an unfortunate opportunity, so difficult.
"Do you know where that very strict dean is now?" Liukai, who was finally searching for nothing on the lawn of the campus, couldn't help but stop a young male teacher passing by and asked where his grandfather was.
Hearing Liukai's question, the young male teacher was slightly stunned at first, then moved his right hand holding the two thick books to the position of his chest, and pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his left hand, coughed lightly, and replied in a deep voice: "Oh~ You mean that old man." Aren't you a student here? How could I not know that he died 4 years ago! ”
"Passed away"
"Passed away"
"Passed away"
The young male teacher's answer was like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting Liukai's heart hard, and the childish sting made his body tremble slightly. Liukai froze in place, and the trance and harsh voice that made his brain beep kept echoing in his head.
"You're fine, are you? Are you a relative of the old man? But I remember that he had no relatives except for an old and sick wife and a son whose whereabouts were unknown. ”
"Oh, I'm the grandson of his colleague!" Liukai came back to his senses when he heard the male teacher's inquiry, and he prevaricated about his identity at random, and after a short silence, he muttered: "Yes, it's no wonder that he died" Although he said so, even though Liukai has been trying to pretend that he has nothing to do with him, the slightly twitching muscles on his face can tell that he is just patient. (It's no wonder that people who are related to themselves are not cursed, and this sentence was finally swallowed back!) )
The male teacher stared at Liukai with a puzzled gaze, but muttered something about his grandfather. Liukai listened quietly, raised his head vigorously, and felt a burning heat about to gush out of the corner of his eye.
"But he was really a good man when he was alive, in addition to his stubborn temper, he was not only honest and serious about his work, but also enthusiastic, in fact, everyone respected him very much. Hey, it's a pity ......."
"Yes, yes," Liukai muttered to himself contradictoryly, desperately holding back his trembling voice and asking the male teacher, "May I ask where his old man is buried?" I want to check it out."
Liukai looked at the male teacher in front of him, looking at the book he held his left hand to his chest, and hesitated for a moment, but still gave the answer that Liukai wanted.
"Oh, this one, it's in the Changling Cemetery" Liukai turned around and left without even thanking him, his action made the four-eyed teacher slightly stunned, and muttered: "Go slowly, don't send" The teacher who was still waving stupidly at the background of Liukai at the beginning suddenly came back to his senses, and after muttering a few words to the background of Liukai getting farther and farther away, he shouted at Liukai's figure.
"Huh? Wait, what am I doing here? Hey, class time, no class messing around, you, you ...... Well? This back is so familiar, who is it? I always feel as if I've seen it, but I can't recall it, it's really strange! ”
At this time, Liukai, who was sitting on the bus, did not have anger, crying and regret. These feelings seem to have been seared into the depths of his heart a long time ago, turning into an empty sense of existence, controlling his emotions, so that his feelings will no longer be freely revealed. There were a lot of people on the bus, and in the crowded carriage, the air smelled a little bit, and through the window, Liukai looked indifferently at the world outside.
The carriage in front of him was a little bumpy, and the sound of people's shoes and the friction of the ground kept reaching Liukai's ears, and the world world reflected in his cloudy eyes also looked extremely indifferent at this moment. There was also such a doubt in his heart, whether it was the indifference of the world world that caused this, or the black of his heart reflected in his eyes.
The light outside the window gave some light to the black eyes, but the darkness in Liukai's heart could not receive this. His closed heart is now shrouded in nothing but endless emptiness and endless sin.
It was already dark at the cemetery. The cemetery in the night was indescribably desolate, and Liukai jumped and flew into the cemetery skillfully, which was another unauthorized action without permission, but he was originally an unrestrained person, and such behavior was in line with his personality.
Liukai walked slowly in the cemetery by feeling, on both sides of the narrow and winding path, the tombstones were like rows of neatly located small houses, and the red handwriting on the tombstones kept sweeping through Liukai's afterglow. The sky overhead, cloudy, and the moonlight hidden in the black clouds, stingy and unwilling to sprinkle a glimmer of light.
The smell of night, the smell of death, the smell of tranquility, the smell of emptiness, all kinds of smells permeated this silent cemetery, and all the smells of emptiness at this moment. The woods are shady, the insects are chirping, and it feels like you've arrived in the home of the Grim Reaper.
Liukai's footsteps began to slow down, and finally stopped, and he looked at the simple tombstone carved with jade lacquer in front of him by the faint moonlight, which looked pale at this time.
However, compared to the pale tombstone, the young man's face in the dark is even more pale and abrupt. I don't know if it was cold or shaken, Liukai gasped, and then slowly bent down and placed the flowers prepared in advance in front of the tombstone. Then he slowly sat down next to the tombstone, habitually putting his hand in front of his mouth, and subconsciously biting his lip. As the teeth and lips continued to collide, it began slowly, and a red liquid flowed down from the corners of his mouth, but Liukai, who was immersed in inexplicable emotions, was unconscious, just silently and endlessly repeating an action.
