"Dad?" Bai Qi rubbed his eyes and woke up from the bed. Bai Jianshu was in the kitchen, and Bai Qi looked around and found himself at home. Bai Jianshu came out of the kitchen and said, "Bai Qi, eat breakfast first." "Dad, where's Lin Yuan?" Bai Qi opened his mouth and said. Bai Jianshu, who had just turned to leave, stopped, he turned around and said, "He, he didn't come back." Bai Qiyi instantly understood what his father was saying. She wanted to comfort herself and lied to herself: "He left salt in the well? No way, he said he would come back, he would! Bai Qi wanted to hide her loss, but she cried. Daughter. Bai Jianshu just wanted to speak but stopped, he didn't know what to say, so he turned around and just opened.

Bai Qi got out of bed, and after she put on her shoes, she didn't eat breakfast and prepared to go out. "Bai Qi! Where are you? I've already told the rescuers about Lin Yuan. Bai Jianshu's voice came from behind Bai Qi. Dad, me. Bai Qi didn't say anything more, turned around and came back to breakfast.

After the meal, Bai Qi insisted on going to the salt mining area, and Bai Jianshu only agreed to her. After breakfast, Bai Jianshu took his daughter to the salt mining area. This is no longer the salt shaft it used to be, and the entire mine has been filled with water that has spread to the surface mine, and the whole mine has formed a huge lake. After Bai Jianshu walked to the mining area, he went directly to the rescue team next to him to communicate. At this time, there are several large pumping machines working around the salt lake, apparently trying to drain the salt lake.

Bai Qi didn't go with her father, she stood alone by the salt lake and watched the white clouds of the blue sky reflected in the vast water. Is he really not coming back? But he promised me that I would come back. Bai Qi stared blankly at the water, tears streaming down.

Lin Yuan woke up from the bed, and the mother next to the bed shouted happily, "Son, you woke up." Lin Yuan felt a little dizzy, and he asked, "Mom, where is this?" ”

"Is this Qi Lin, have you forgotten?"

"Qi Lin?"

"Yes, we came to Qi Lin to see your uncle, I get angry when I think of your uncle, if it weren't for him, how could my son fall into the water!"

"Uncle." Lin Yuan instantly understood the reason why he came to Qi Lin. At this time, Lin Yuan's mother said: "Son, don't think about it, you just wake up and rest first." ”

"What about uncle?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"Your uncle and your dad are chatting outside! You see, your dad doesn't care about his son at all. Lin Yuan's mother touched Lin Yuan's head and said......

On this day, when Bai Jianshu was sorting out his work clothes, he found the stationery left by Lin Yuan. He told me to give it to Bai Qi. Bai Jianshu thought about it, turned his head to look at his daughter who had been depressed, and said, "Bai Qi, here is a piece of what Lin Yuan left for you." After Bai Jianshu finished speaking, he handed the letter to the table. Bai Qiyi heard the news of Lin Yuan, and hurriedly got up and took the letterhead.

After some hard work, Bai Qi opened the crumpled paper that had already been blistered and steamed. The words on the paper are very unclear because of the soaking in water. But Bai Qi still saw the words on it: "Moving...", and then looking down, many words were blurry and couldn't be seen clearly, and in the last line, Bai Qi saw four vague and big words - I like you. She instantly remembered the experience of living on campus with Lin Yuan in the past, remembered that she was adopted by well-wishers, and remembered that she jumped into the salt lake. Bai Qi's tears fell instantly, Bai Jianshu stood aside and watched the changes in his daughter, he didn't make a sound and just looked at his daughter quietly. He felt sorry for Lin Yuan for not bringing him back, but he felt that he couldn't do more, because even if he left everyone behind, he would only die in the mine, he blamed himself but was helpless......

At night, Bai Qi secretly got up from the bed while his father was asleep, put on his shoes and went out of the house. She ran to the salt lake alone in the cool breeze of the autumn night. At this time, the pumping machines around the salt lake had stopped working, because the experts chose to give up when they found that the salt lake could not be pumped out, and the rescue of Lin Yuan was no longer carried out because everyone no longer had hope.

Bai Qi came to the shore of the salt lake and found the glowing square soil in the shallow water. She carefully picked up Fang Yang: at this time, Bai Qi remembered the night he jumped into the salt lake, the aquarium whirlpool, and the experience of returning to the present. Originally, I was dead, but it brought me back to life, but I also lost my biological father's day, but now everyone is fine, but I lost Lin Yuan again. Bai Qi thought of everything, she knew that all this was her fault, if she hadn't picked up this stone by herself, then the salt well would not have been filled with water, then her father would not have died before, she would not have returned to the future, she would not have met Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan would not have died in the salt lake. She thought of the words Lin Yuan said to herself under the salt lake, "It's okay, I'll bring your dad back." Bai Qi clenched Fang Yang, and she shouted at the wide salt lake: "But you didn't come back, why did you want to stay down alone, why!! ”

In this shout, the soil in Bai Qi's hand emitted a dazzling light, and the water of the salt lake began to rotate as if it had heard a call. Bai Qi watched the huge water with white foam reappear in the moonlight, thinking of his previous experience of jumping into the salt lake and returning here. She looked at the Fang Yang in her hand and understood that as long as she jumped into the salt lake now, she would go back to the previous time, back to when she was seventeen years old, and go back to school, but if she did this, then Lin Yuan would be in vain in everything he did under the salt well, and her own father would also die under the salt lake. Bai Qi didn't jump into the salt lake in the end, she silently left the salt lake with Fang Yang. And Bai Jianshu, who was hiding behind the stones, watched all this......

Time was very fast, and in a flash, Lin Yuan and his parents were ready to go back to Shanghai. At the station, Lin Yuan's family was waiting to see the train. At this time, a middle-aged man walked past them and Lin Yuan glanced at him. "Lin Yuan!" The man couldn't help but say two words. Lin Yuan was a little puzzled, he didn't expect that there were people here who knew him in addition to his relatives, Lin Yuan politely responded, "Uncle, hello!" How do you know my name? The man seemed a little incredulous, and he hurriedly replied: "Uncle's name is Bai Jianshu, as for your name, I knew a big brother who looked a bit like you before, and his name was Lin Yuan." ”

"I see."

"Since you're waiting for the bus, I won't bother." After Bai Jianshu finished speaking, he left. Lin Yuan still looked at Bai Jianshu's back a little puzzled, then pointed at him and asked his mother, "Mom, do you know him?" ”

"You mean the uncle who greeted you just now, huh? I've never seen this guy before. Lin Yuan's mother replied. Hearing this, Lin Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Yuan's family quickly got into the car. "Mom, I always feel like I'm missing something?" Lin Yuan looked at the Gobi in the distance on the windowsill of the train, and said in the mountains. Lin Yuan's mother turned her head to look at her son, and she said with a little confusion: "Son, it seems that there is nothing missing." Lin Yuan didn't answer his mother, he felt that he had come to Qi Lin not only to play with his uncle, there should be something, but he couldn't remember anything. Lin Yuan's mother took out a box of cakes from her bag and handed it to her son, saying, "You are only twelve years old and want to do so much?" Now, eat the cake. Lin Yuan was very happy to see the cake and took it busily. After eating the cake for a while, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, and said to his mother, "Mom, I want to learn to play the guitar, is it okay?" I saw that my uncle was good at playing the thief, and I wanted to learn too. Lin Yuan's mother looked at her husband on the side, and when she saw him nodding, she said, "My son has a hobby, and he will learn it when he goes home." Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

And in the station, Bai Jianshu looked at the train in the distance and sighed and said, "It should be that I thought too much, how could it be him." ”
