Chapter 54: White Sands
Song Shenyan took a plane to Hanshui City, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which consists of four towns.
Flowers, white sand, jade dragons, thousand cranes.
To be exact, there are now only three.
Because Huazhen has long been burned to ashes by the fire, it has not been rebuilt to this day.
Yulong Town has been in a closed state, outsiders do not know the inside situation, and Qianhe is a famous tourist town.
There is only the town of White Sands.
The customs and customs are all traditional, and the economy is not prosperous, even if people come to collect the style.
The folk customs are good, and it is suitable to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Before Song Shenyan came, she contacted a hospitable local family and offered her a short stay.
"Tell us what is missing."
Grandma cleaned up a hut for Song Shenyan with a warm attitude.
Lying on the creaking plank, the quilt is also a little wet, and here depends on water all year round, and there are very few dry times.
When she was a child, she was troubled because she always felt that her body could not be washed, and it was sticky and unpleasant.
When I grew up and lived in Nancheng, I would think of the people here from time to time.
Probably back to the place where she was born, she felt that she had slept soundly for the first time.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed.
Standing at the door, the woman in the next courtyard shouted: "Grandma, grandma, you have a guest at home, Xiaoxi Niang is so handsome." ”
Song Shenyan was stunned for a moment, smiled at the woman, and did not speak.
It looks gentle and lovely.
Here, a Zihe River runs through the entire Baisha Town, walking through the blue bricks and gray tiles, looking up, the smoky gray roofs of Yishui are scattered.
There are several boats rowing on the water, and several baskets of fruits on the boats are placed in one place, forming a unique scenery.
She stood under the pavilion blowing a warm breeze, which was not hot, but very comfortable.
Walking forward, I came to a clearing, and in front of me was a famous Bodhisattva temple, dedicated to marriage.
When she stepped inside, she kowtowed three times.
"The believer is above, if the marriage is determined, after I finish killing my mother, ask for a corner to let me spend this life in peace."
The old man on crutches walked in, and when he passed by her, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "I see that your seal hall is black, and there will be disasters in the near future." ”
Song Shenyan's footsteps paused and turned back: "I don't count my life, grandpa." ”
She misunderstood, this man was the town's ninety-year-old would-be talker, because what he said was always accurate.
didn't listen to the old man, suffered in front of him, and shook his head again and again.
After crossing the Bodhisattva Temple and walking west for ten minutes, you will arrive at the building that Xu Jicheng was photographed.
There is a famous statue of the land here.
Standing there and looking around, I found a small supermarket.
Walking over, there was a little girl sitting at the counter, and the old TV in front of her was playing a costume drama that was filmed I don't know how many years ago.
"Little sister, I want to ask you something."
The little girl didn't look back, and told her in a childish voice: "Buying something, five yuan is a problem." ”
Song Shenyan smiled, such a small person can also do business.
She took five lollipops and placed them on the glass table: "Checkout." ”
The little girl reluctantly broke away from the TV series, and when she saw Song Shenyan, she opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "Fairy? ”
"It's so sweet."
The little girl collected five yuan, there was a lot of cash here, and Song Shenyan cashed it in advance and brought it over.
"Have you seen this big brother?" Xu Jicheng's photo was placed in front of her eyes.
The little girl picked it up and looked at it, pouting and shaking her head.
Song Shenyan was not discouraged, she thanked the little girl and put the lollipop in her bag.
Walk to a corner not far away, tear open the peach-flavored candy and put it in your mouth.
A rich peach flavor penetrates the taste buds and is very sweet.
She stood for about fifty minutes, when suddenly a familiar figure walked towards the small supermarket.
He skillfully pointed to something behind the little girl, and just as he was about to leave, he noticed that someone was watching him nearby.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Song Shenyan beckoning to him.
Xu Jicheng obviously didn't expect this situation.
He embarrassedly extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
A lawyer who used to stand in the defense bench in a suit and leather shoes is now smoking in slippers and pants without trimming his beard.
In just a few months, he seemed to be a different person.
Song Shenyan crushed the sugar with a grunt and walked over slowly.
When the little sister saw her coming again, her eyes fluttered and she didn't dare to look directly.
"Little sister, you're not telling the truth."
The little girl stood up dissatisfiedly and retorted to her: "I only said to answer the questions, but I didn't say that I would tell you the truth." ”
After the two of them left the small supermarket, they were silent all the way.
Xu Jicheng took her to the remote place in the town.
Those photos were taken around here, and all the photos in my hand were fast food.
It's half past eleven o'clock at noon, and Xu Jicheng's eating habits.
She knew that the little girl must know Xu Jicheng.
"Why are you here?" He finally spoke.
Then he came to a door with red paint, and when he pushed it open, the door staggered as if it was about to break.
Walking in, the yard was made of concrete, and some clothes were soaked in the basin.
A cross-sectional house with three rooms plus a kitchen and simple toilet.
Xu Jicheng kicked the basin away, took her up two steps, and walked to the easternmost room.
She glanced curiously at the middle, the door was open, and there were tiles, and there was a large dining table, which should be a living room and a dining room.
"Just sit down."
There was a wooden bed in the room, the quilt was not folded, and a log desk was full of documents.
The only sofa was also peeled, and it was a little awkward when I sat down.
Xu Jicheng seems to have suddenly aged ten years.
In fact, he was two or three years older than her.
The smell of smoke in the room made Song Shen's head sink by two points.
For a while, I couldn't find the right words to start with.
Xu Jicheng stood up and poured her a cup of powdered coffee.
"Brother, why are you here?" She drank a slightly bitter coffee.
Consciousness returns.
Xu Jicheng didn't know how to explain, and only after sighing heavily did he hesitate to tell her.
"I burned the law firm and found a truck to bring me here overnight, because I was afraid that people would know about it, so I kept it a secret from you."
"Why are you hiding here?" Song Shenyan took out the burned USB drive from his bag.
Xu Jicheng scratched his long hair, even more helpless.
"I did one thing wrong." He admitted.
"Where's the thing?" Song Shenyan questioned him.
"Shen Yan, stop this, I don't want you to be in such a situation."
He was a little scared.
Song Shenyan sneered, she stood up and walked in front of him, and lifted the clothes on her back.
Xu Jicheng closed his eyes in an instant.
In addition to the rose that was once tattooed, there is a deep scar on the right side, which she covered with a tattoo of green leaves on the back.
If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
"I thought you'd never forget."
Her voice was calm.
Xu Jicheng stood up with a thud and pulled her out of the room, through the cement corridor to the room on the far right.
Standing in the doorway, he pushed.
Song Shenyan seemed to feel something and looked inside.
Then he walked in and walked to the bed.
On the bed lay a woman with a wrinkled face.
Her eyes were closed, as if she had lost her life, and her breathing was weak.
"Mom, long time no see."
