Because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the yard is deserted. Patches of dark green moss had grown on the walls of the courtyard, the green plants had withered, and weeds had grown in the corners.

Jian Yi opened the door and went in, everything was so familiar, as if the smiling person would come out of the house, rub her head, and call her Ah Yi gently.

She sat down on the stone staircase, letting salty tears roll out of her eyes.

She spent the afternoon quietly in the courtyard, looking at the sky above the courtyard and the surrounding scenery, until the sky gradually darkened, and then she went out of the alley alone.

Song Weihe gradually got better, and she had no need to stay. She went to the cemetery the next day, went to see her grandfather, and went to see Peng Tongyuan. After having a meal with the old lady outside, I went back to the island on the weekend.

The old lady was reluctant to give up on her, and told her over and over again to be careful on the road, and she was afraid that there would be something missing there, so she asked Aunt Qing to prepare a lot of things for her.

She had to take a car, plane, and boat, which was too far for her to take with her, so she chose only some of the easy ones to bring. The last time she was able to come back in one day, it was completely a blessing from Zhou Qi. This time she tossed and turned, obviously not in one day, it would take two days.

She has a good mentality, and plans to play all the way back, which can be regarded as a tour. Her father wasn't quite well, and she should have stayed a little longer, but she couldn't find a reason to stay. Even if she stayed at home, she no longer felt familiar. Looking at them harmoniously, she was like an intruder, so out of place, and she didn't know how to fit in.

Jian Yi took a taxi to the airport, and she didn't have any reluctance when the plane took off, but felt a little relaxed. She didn't think about anything and closed her eyes.

She had been suffering from insomnia these days, and she fell asleep in a daze on the plane. She slept so deeply that she didn't wake up until the plane was about to land.

It was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, she didn't rush anymore, booked a hotel, put down her luggage and took a taxi to a nearby shopping mall, planning to buy some food or gifts for everyone to take home.

It was the first time she had been to the mall in years, and perhaps because she had been on the island for a long time, she was a little unwell. She bought gifts for Fan Xiaoxi and Zhou Qi, Fan Xiaoxi's was a wallet, and Zhou Qi's was a pen. She didn't know what she should buy before she went to the mall, and the wallet and pen were all improvised, so she felt that it was quite eye-catching.

She also brought things for the children, all kinds of stationery and some sweets that they rarely saw. She wandered around for a few hours and ate alone before returning to the hotel.

She left without telling Jian Lan, but just sent her the card she gave her back. After returning to the hotel, she still called her and told her that she had left Yucheng and returned to the island. She sent it back to her, asking her to pay attention to it.

Jian Lan was not surprised that she went back without saying a word, nor was she angry because Jian Yi said goodbye. Just tell her to be safe on the road and call her if she needs anything.

Jane said goodbye without saying goodbye, thinking that he would be blamed. She didn't say anything, but it made her feel guilty. The two chatted for a while like an ordinary mother and daughter, until Jian Lan had a phone call coming in, and then they hung up the phone.

The next morning, Jian Yi got up early, went to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast, and then called a bus to the long-distance station. She dozed off all the way, and her phone rang when she was dazed. She took out her mobile phone, and the call was from Zhou Qi. Still a little dazed, she picked up the phone and fed her.

"Coming back?" Zhou Qi asked.

Jian Yi didn't call anyone when he came back, and he didn't know where he got the news from, so he snorted. Her neck was a little sore, and she reached out and rubbed it.

"Where?" Zhou Qi asked again.

Jian Yi's mind cleared up a little, and he looked sideways out the window. The sky here is different from Yucheng, the sky is bluer and clearer. But she didn't know where it was, so she could only look at the time and say, "It's almost there, there should be another hour to arrive." ”

Zhou Qi sighed and said, "I'll ask someone to pick you up at the station." ”

The last time she left, it was enough to trouble him, and Jane refused without thinking about it, saying, "Don't bother, I'll just go back by myself." ”

She sat up straight from her position and moved her body. Outside the car window, a flock of seagulls skimmed across the sea and disappeared over the horizon. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze lingering on that side. Her impetuous heart suddenly calmed down at this moment.

Zhou Qi was noncommittal, he didn't know who was calling him, he hung up the phone with a low voice.

Jian Yi didn't put her phone back, turned on the camera, and started taking pictures out of the car window. The foul smell and inhibition of the coach were temporarily relieved, and she looked out intently.

After an hour, the car finally arrived at the station. She waited for everyone to be almost gone before getting out of the car, and was about to go to the carriage to carry her luggage, when a young man in a suit approached. When he saw her, he politely said, "Hello Miss Song, Mr. Zhou asked me to pick you up." ”

She had already said that there was no need to bother, but she didn't expect Zhou Qi to call someone over. She had to politely thank the person and say that it was troublesome.

The young man took out her luggage and hurriedly said, "You are too polite, don't bother, I happen to be here." ”

His car was parked outside the station, put Jian Yi's luggage back in the trunk, and only then did he say: "There is no boat for the time being, Mr. Zhou asked me to take you to the hotel where our company's employees live first, and then go back when there is a boat." ”

Jian Yi was disheartened when she first came over, and her visit to the island was purely accidental, and she boarded the boat to the island in a wandering manner. I didn't know there were no restaurants or hostels until I got off the boat. The boat had returned, and she was standing alone on the dock when she was found by Mr. Lin and brought her back to school. And then I just stayed with the flow, and I have been there until now.

Probably never thought about leaving, she never asked how often the boat to the island was there, and what time it was. I only know that there are very few boats to go there, and the villagers on the island use their own boats to get around.

The young man's surname is Chen, just let Jian Yi call him Xiao Chen. He doesn't talk much, and occasionally introduces the scenery along the way to Jian Yi, who is a local here but has been with Zhou Qi's company for more than two years. This time, Zhou Qi will bring him over, also because he is familiar with this side.
