At the end of the year and the winter solstice, compared with the summer when the forest was drenched in rain, there were many more people who came to the cemetery this time. Although he only came with Youxi once many years ago, Mei Fang remembered the location of Youxi's mother very clearly.

The upside-down stone lion is in the third row forward...... I don't know if it's still there.

Well, this stone lion has really not been removed, and the cemetery management is too lazy.

Or is there some feng shui direction here?

Memories of the past gradually came to mind, Mei Fang took a deep breath and walked forward.

As far as his eyes could see, the little Qingmei he was familiar with was kneeling in front of the grave of her favorite mother, bowing her head and not saying a word.

She only made a few sniffing noises once in a while, or reached out and rubbed her eyes.

Mei Fang didn't rush to disturb her, but stood not far away and waited for her quietly.

After catching a glimpse of Mei Fang's familiar figure from the corner of her eye, a bright color flashed in her dim and cloudy eyes, obviously she was not mentally prepared for Mei Fang's appearance.

"How do you ...... Over here? ”

"I said yes to play Monopoly together, and I ended up running so far...... It's a shame that I found it all the way. ”

Mei Fang slowly walked to Lin Youxi's side and handed the purchased fruit to Lin Youxi.

"You must have forgotten to bring something to her when you came to visit your mother. Or am I more sensible, you see me-"

"I bought it."

Lin Youxi pointed to the apples placed in front of his mother's grave, "I'm no longer a child, and now I have money, and I still know how much apples cost a pound." ”

"Well, that's it."

"You've really grown up......"

Mei Fang was a little embarrassed, and just didn't know where to put the purchased fruit, Lin Youxi took it.

"Why take it away, my mother won't eat too much."

“……”

Mei Fang watched Lin Youxi carefully take out the apple and place it in front of her mother's grave.

While laying out the fruits, she asked Mei Fang, "Have you ever been to my house?"

"Hmmm......"

"That'...... Have you seen that auntie? ”

Mei Fang nodded.

"Look, sir...... It's all liars. ”

After saying this, Lin Youxi sniffed, bit his lip tightly, and held back the tears that were rolling in his eyes.

Mei Fangzheng was about to say something, but saw a hole in Lin Youxi's knee pants, and some red blood marks were faintly oozing.

"Do you hurt your knee, yes?"

"It's fine."

"Let me take a look, if the wound is infected—"

"It's all right! Don't worry about it! ”

Lin Youxi pushed away Mei Fang, who was approaching, but Mei Fang looked very tough and did not have the slightest intention of backing down.

"Don't let me care, who cares about you now?"

"I thought you weren't a child anymore, but why do you still like to be so vexatious?"

Lin Youxi didn't answer Mei Fang's words, just kept hitting Mei Fang and pushed him away resolutely, but I don't know if it was because of the knee pain or the reason why the emotions were brewing, Lin Youxi suddenly stopped moving.

When she spoke again, her voice was completely fragmented.

"My dad...... He doesn't love his mother anymore. ”

"He wanted to forget about his mother, so he always brought that aunt to the house."

"My grandparents also passed away."

"Uncle is a scum with no conscience."

"Now it's just me in the world, and I'm the only one...... I remember my mother. ”

"Look at the tomb next door, the grandmother's tomb has been demolished now because no one worships it."

"If I don't come to spend time with my mother...... Mom was really left alone here forever. ”

The teary-eyed Lin Youxi reached out and gently stroked the slightly yellowed photo of his mother on the tombstone, Mei Fang on the side didn't say anything, just habitually took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and took out one to wipe Lin Youxi's tears.

Before he wiped his tears a few times, his hand holding the tissue was grabbed by Lin Youxi, and Lin Youxi was holding the tissue on his hand and blowing his nose vigorously.

One after another.

When Lin Youxi's mood calmed down a little and the sound of sobbing became weaker, Mei Fang bowed down to inspect the wound on Lin Youxi's knee.

"How did this fall?"

"I got into an argument with my dad and ran out of the house and then I fell."

"Why didn't you come to us? I'm at home with Yuanyuan. ”

"I ...... I fell on the way to your house. ”

"Ah, this."

Lin Youxi rubbed his red nose, "I felt very uncomfortable when I fell, when I thought that my father abandoned my mother, I thought to myself that I at least have you, but my mother is more pitiful than me, so I feel that I should come to accompany her and comfort her." You see, I didn't expect that the grandmother who had been with her all the time by her side was no longer there. ”

Mei Fang looked at the tombstone on the side, and suddenly shook his head:

"This grandmother's grave may not have been disposed of, but it may have just been moved somewhere else."

"How do you know?"

"Tombstones generally have a storage period of more than 20 years, and the cost of cleaning them is much higher than the cost of leaving them there, and this grandmother's tomb is certainly not 20 years old."

Lin Youxi looked at Mei Fang suspiciously, "How do you know so much ......?"

"Hmph, who do you think your bamboo horse is?"

In fact, Mei Fang is just relying on vague relevant memories to break around.

"The wound on your knee will be left unattended like this, and if you don't treat it early, you will have a scar, and if you are infected, you will have to saw your leg."

"Saw it off, sawed it off, my dad doesn't care anymore anyway."

"How could he not care, isn't that matter undecided, he wants to discuss it with you......"

"It's impossible to consult with him."

Lin Youxi bit his lip, "I only have one mother, and she's here now." Dad doesn't care about Mom, and naturally he doesn't care about me anymore. ”

"Well, you have to think that your dad doesn't care about you. Do you think I'm going to care? What about fate? Won't the two of us worry about you? ”

“……”

Lin Youxi did not respond directly, but silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that she had the intention of loosening her mouth, Mei hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help Lin Youxi get up.

"Shhhh

Lin Youxi had a very painful expression of struggle.

"Can't stand up?"

"My leg is numb."

"How long have you been kneeling here......"

So Mei Fang squatted down and turned his back to Lin Youxi.

"Come on, I'll carry you to the side of the road to take a taxi home."

“……”

After a brief hesitation, Lin Youxi leaned towards Mei Fang's back and wrapped his arms around Mei Fang's neck.

"I'm going to slow down...... If it hurts you, just say it. ”

"Hmm."

After feeling the weight of Lin Youxi's weight on his body, Mei Fang stood up cautiously, and was about to carry her forward, but Lin Youxi's feet were still on the ground.

"Whew...... You lift your legs a little bit, how do you want me to carry it? ”

It's just humiliating me.

"I'm sorry...... I haven't had people carry it much, so what, curl up like this? ”

Mei Fang supported Lin Youxi's thighs with both hands, and Lin Youxi also tried to bow his legs to clamp Mei Fang's waist. She was tall, but she didn't weigh much.

Mei Fang was about to get up, but stopped in front of Youxi's mother's grave.

"Do you want to come down again? I've been here all the time, why did I forget to say goodbye to your mother. ”

"No need."

Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder, his voice soft and gentle.

"My mom...... She knows what you want. ”
