21. He's done enough

As we sat on the tractor and the wind was blowing overhead, I was a little confused, and I didn't know how I agreed to come down.

"Don't worry, my Uncle Li travels back and forth between the town and Qiancheng Village all the year round, and he is most familiar with Qiancheng Village."

Seeing Zhang Cheng back to his lively appearance, I know why he has been able to stay up in the murderous house for so many days, and his feelings are all because of his big heart.

All the way into the village, everywhere is overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, and the people who watch it sigh. Comparing the fireworks of the town, it is really hard to imagine such a dilapidated village.

"In fact, there are not many people in the village now, and those who have the ability have walked out of the village with their own efforts, and there have been no new faces here for a long time, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled, waiting to die in the village."

Uncle Li drove the tractor slowly while explaining to us, his tone was low, and he couldn't help but sigh all the time.

When we were at the head of the village, we saw a few sporadic old people basking in the sun, and we did not have a trace of curiosity about the strangers passing by, but just sat silently, looking at the road out of the village with blank eyes, and there was no desire for the future.

"All living beings are suffering, and it is not the days that suffer, but the hearts that have no hope."

I looked at Zhong Qiu in surprise, I really didn't expect that such an unobtrusive person as him could say such philosophical and profound words.

But I didn't speak again, Zhong Qiu didn't speak again after saying this, and we were all a little silent.

To be honest, since I was a child, my life was really not too good, and I saw the compassion that rose here, in addition to pity them, it was not pity for my former self.

"By the way, who are you looking for? I know all the people in this village. ”

Uncle Li opened his mouth to break the momentary deadlock.

With Xia Xiaoxiao's memory, I searched for the names of Xia Xiaoxiao's mother and the boy she liked.

"I'm looking for Jiang Xuemei and Liu Bin."

After I finished saying this, Uncle Li looked at me suspiciously.

"What are you looking for them for?"

I couldn't tell the truth, so I had to come up with an explanation that seemed plausible.

"I'm Xia Xiaoxiao's classmate, so I want to come and see them."

Uncle Li was silent for a long time, and just when I thought he wouldn't speak, he spoke out with emotion.

"Xiaoxiao, that's really a good boy, it's a pity."

Yes, it's a pity, there should have been a great future, but it turned out to be ...... I collected my thoughts and spoke again.

"Do you know where her mother is?"

"Dead."

"Dead?"

I was a little shocked, her mother was only about forty years old at the time, although she looked a little old, but it has only been more than ten years, how can it not be ......

"Died a long time ago, died more than ten years ago."

Uncle Li silently pulled us to Jiang Xuemei's tombstone, saying that it was a tombstone, but it was actually a wooden board with words written on it, and then a small dirt bag underneath, surrounded by weeds, at first glance, it looked like no one had taken care of it for many years, and it couldn't be more simple.

I stared blankly at the plank in front of me, and an inexplicable sadness enveloped me.

"I'm sorry we're late."

I started to clear the weeds like crazy, Zhong Qiu and Zhang Cheng were silent and didn't ask anything, and also started to help me clean up.

Then I placed some tributes in front of the little earthen bag, and when I was done, I raised my hand and wiped my face, only to realize that I had already burst into tears. I know very well that these are Xia Xiaoxiao's emotions.

I wiped away my tears, reorganized my mood, and then said to Uncle Li.

"Okay, let's go see the boy named Liu Bin."

Zhong Qiu was a little eager to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong?"

I looked at him suspiciously, he didn't seem to be so slurred.

"That, I hope you prepare a little in advance, that Liu Bin, he is married, and the children are three years old."

I was prepared to meet a greater sadness, but to my surprise, I didn't have the sadness I imagined, I knew that I and Xia Xiaoxiao's emotions were the same now, which also means that when I heard the news of Liu Bin's marriage and childbirth, Xia Xiaoxiao was not sad, but there was a trace of relief and relief, I couldn't understand this contradictory feeling.

In the end, it was Zhong Qiu who opened his mouth.

"Let's go and see it first, let's watch as far away as we can, and don't disturb him."

Seeing that I didn't have any excessive emotions, Uncle Liu pulled us towards Liu Bin's house.

Along the way, I was very curious about this Liu Bin, I remember what he looked like in my dream back then, the sun was clean, not very handsome, but the smile was very healing.

But all of this disappeared completely after I met Liu Bin.

Now Liu Bin is middle-aged, with a scruffy beard, and he is no longer the teenager he was back then. He played with his little daughter in the yard, and he was very happy, sometimes riding a big horse, sometimes lifting high.

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the garden with green vegetables, the woman looked very gentle, watching the two of them playing and laughing next to her, and from time to time complaining that the two of them had soiled the newly washed clothes, Liu Bin saw the vegetables in the woman's hands, reluctantly put down her little daughter, and then naturally took the vegetables in the woman's hands, and smirked at her, the smile was still bright, but it was no longer for Xia Xiaoxiao.

Although there was no sadness in Xia Xiaoxiao's emotions, I was a little angry.

"Man, change your mind so quickly."

I didn't want to see this happy but dazzling scene for me anymore, but at the moment when I turned my head in disappointment, I was pulled by Zhong Qiu.

"Don't worry, don't be so pessimistic, everyone has to move forward, let's see."

I didn't want to look at it anymore, so I shook off Zhong Qiu's hand and walked straight away.

"Okay Xiaoxiao, let's go, let's go into the house and get ready for dinner."

My footsteps froze in place, and then I turned around in disbelief, only to see the little girl named Xiaoxiao running into Liu Bin's arms with a smile, and then letting Liu Bin carry her into the house.

My heart fell to the ground, and finally, life was not very bad.

At this time, Uncle Liu was also telling us about Liu Bin over the years.

It turned out that after Xia Xiaoxiao died, Liu Bin dropped out of school, and his parents were so angry that they almost broke his legs. Over the years, he helped Jiang Xuemei call the police to fight a lawsuit, sent those murderers to prison, and then has been taking care of Jiang Xuemei.

In the next few years, he gradually began to go on blind dates, and then got married and had children, and it is said that now the two live happily in the village.

I had some emotion after listening to it, yes, after all, Xia Xiaoxiao has been dead for seventeen years, and his child is only three years old, he has waited long enough and done enough. No one is a saint, just like Zhong Qiu said, people always have to move forward, Liu Bin also has parents, a family, and more responsibilities, he can't just do it for himself.

Xia Xiaoxiao, did you see it, you didn't see the wrong person, he did it well enough.

"Thank you."

Very light, I heard Xia Xiaoxiao's voice again, weak, as if it was about to dissipate at any time.

Sure enough, immediately, a puff of white smoke floated out of my body, and of course, only Zhong Qiu saw it.

I feel that Xia Xiaoxiao has really disappeared completely this time.

I, on the other hand, seem to be in better health, and I used to sleep with a sore back, but now it is gone. Moreover, my personality seems to have completely integrated with Xia Xiaoxiao, and my mood has become extraordinarily good.

I didn't expect that there would be such benefits of merging with ghosts.

I looked at Zhong Qiu, and for the first time I smiled very cheerfully and slyly.

"Let's go, the next thing is to go back to find Mr. Zhou's trouble."
