The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is strong, the assembly is crowded, there are regulations prohibiting fireworks and firecrackers in the urban area of Jiangqiao City, but there is no lack of fireworks and firecrackers in the surrounding towns and counties.

The Spring Festival is the most important thing for Chinese, and at the moment of family reunion, people return to their hometowns from all directions, with sadness and joy, with excitement and anxiety.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Xiangchi and his parents got on the bus back to the town early in the morning, and in order to stimulate consumption, the bus was free during the Spring Festival holiday.

Sitting on the bus, Xu Xiangchi's eyes looked out the window, brushed the circle of friends, put his hand in his pocket, and touched the red envelope shell.

She remembered that the uncle she met on the high-speed train that day, Xu Xiangchi took the red envelope out of his pocket, opened the red envelope, and looked down at it.

Seeing a blank paper and a bank card, Xu Xiangchi subconsciously rubbed his eyes and took things out of the red envelope, the card was red, especially festive, and the white paper was folded in half.

Xu Xiangchi opened the white paper, and at a glance, it was densely packed with words.

At the top of the white paper she saw a name, a name she felt she could never see again.

Hello, I am Ling Xingxiang's father.

I have been wandering around the high-speed rail station for many days, and I have taken the high-speed train from Ningjing to Jiangqiao several times that I can't count myself.

The shortest voyage is 322 kilometers and the longest is 378 kilometers.

In this long journey and time, I slowly understood why Ling Xingxiang asked me to come to you.

First of all, the loss of my son in middle age made me unable to relieve my depression for a while.

He was afraid that I would wallow in the pain of his imminent death, so before leaving, he gave me a task to come to you.

I refused at first, but before he left, he took my hand and said hard but firmly:

"Dad, my last wish in this life is"

"You can go see her again for me."

"But don't tell her, I think about it day and night."

"For those who are dying cannot drag down those who are loved."

After listening to it, I promised him half that I would help him see it, but I would also tell you.

Because you have that right.

I knew early on that he liked a girl, and he was standing in the sun and was angry with me and said, he's going to take you home.

I also joked that children's likes, how long can they last, and they will forget about it later.

It was I who underestimated my son, and I underestimated his love for you, not for you.

I don't understand how a boy who is so good can be so obsessed with a girl.

But when I learned about your story, I seemed to understand something.

It turns out that you, like him, have found a girl who is perfectly compatible with his soul.

But fate plays tricks, but you are separated from yin and yang.

There is not much money in this bank card, it is the uncle who thanked you for giving Ling Xingxiang a wonderful three years of high school.

At the same time, my uncle hopes that you can come out and live well.

When you read this letter, it means that I have waited for you.

If you want to come and see him, on the third day of the first month, Baihu Mountain, uncle is waiting for you.

Xu Xiangchi hung his head, and the dry white paper began to be impregnated, drop by drop, drop by drop, and then by drop, and then Xu Xiangchi folded the white paper and put it in the red envelope with the bank card, his eyes were empty.

It was as if everything was like a half-life dream, she was the dreamer, but she wasn't.

Then Xu Xiang slowly turned his face sideways, his eyes looked out of the bus window, looking at the shadows of people coming and going, his eyes couldn't help but be sour.

Ling Xingxiang's figure swayed and shook in her mind, flickering far and near, as if he was standing beside her in the next second.

Because of the Spring Festival, the bus stopped next to the square outside the town, opposite the town's landmark, the largest restaurant.

The area behind the hotel was developed by the hotel owner's family, and he was considered the richest man in this town.

Xu Xiang trembled and followed his parents off the bus, and his originally sallow face was more pale.

On the road, Xu Xiangchi is like a scattered soul wandering in the world, there is no fixed shape to restrain it, just swimming.

When he arrived at the destination, Father Xu took the lead in knocking on the iron door, and then a middle-aged man came to open the door.

Xu's father and Xu's mother smiled and said, "Happy New Year"

Xu Xiangchi looked at it and didn't speak, but she looked out of place, but she felt that she couldn't say a word now.

In order to keep his parents' faces from losing face, Xu Xiangchi forced himself to speak.

"New ...... Happy New Year. ”

The middle-aged man also said politely: "Happy New Year, everyone's good, let's go, let's go in quickly." ”

In this way, Xu Xiangchi followed in, walked in the door, and a group of people were sitting there, with all kinds of melon seeds, peanuts, millet fruits, Funing cakes and other New Year's goods on the table.

At first, there was a lively exchange of happy new year, and then they found a place to sit down, and one person started chatting, and everyone followed in twos and threes.

At this time, there will always be a few people who love to brag and jump out and talk about what he got this year.

In Jiangqiao City, bragging is not called bragging, it has a unique name, called "Kan Dashan"

As for whether this is a unique name for Jiangqiao City, I don't know.

Xu Xiangchi sat on a low stool in a dark corner, watching the sunlight shine in from the outside and fall on the bodies of a group of laughing people, red, furry and sunlight made them extra lively.

And Xu Xiangchi felt that it was so cold today, and everything was so cold.

Xu Xiangchi, as the one who has been silent, has almost no sense of existence, but just when Xu Xiangchi felt that today had passed like this, a person who didn't know the "Seven Aunts and Eight Aunts" opened his mouth and asked: "Chi Chi Mom, do you have a partner in your family?" ”

"The girl is not too small, it's time to find a partner."

"I'm almost thirty years old after this year."

Xu Xiangchi didn't speak, Xu's mother responded, looking at her mother's anxious expression, Xu Xiangchi's heart was unwavering, because she didn't feel this kind of problem.

People who are about to die, what else to talk about looking for a partner.

Even if you're looking for someone, it's not here.

Xu Xiang thought of Ling Xingxiang from time to time, and slowly lowered her head expressionlessly, it seemed that she had been counted, but in fact she was thinking about him.

After a while, tears began to blur her realization, and the eye area began to sour.

She began to sob, and the people sitting next to her were frightened, and they all looked at her, some worried, but most of them looked indifferent and observant.

There is also an inexplicable teasing.

Teardrop, and teardrop, and then another, and the tip of the nose began to drip water.

Her hands were trembling and wiping away the tears around her eyes, and she didn't want to cry here at all, because they would only see jokes.

She doesn't want to.

She doesn't want to be laughed at by these people, just like the joke when she failed the college entrance examination.

When you don't get the results you see, your efforts are farts in the eyes of everyone.

A process without an ending is just a cloud of air and nothing.

Over the years, Xu Xiangchi tried to tell himself that there was no result but there was experience, didn't he say that what he lost now would come in another way.

Yes, Xu Xiangchi felt that she was comforting herself, she was deceiving herself.

If you don't get it, even if you come back, will you be able to wait for it in this life?

At this time, Xu Xiangchi, full of anger, stood up trembling with her head down, the broken hair on her forehead was a little yellow, her eyes were slightly closed, and she didn't want to go out.

She hated this place.

Hate the world.

She walked from the dark and cold corner to the bright and warm door, but when she was about to step over, a force held her back, and she did not react immediately.

Father Xu grabbed Xu Xiangchi, and asked with a somewhat complicated expression: "The elder said that you are both for your good." ”

"Don't be so sensitive."

"People won't be bad for you, you come back and sit down first."

Everyone waited quietly for Xu Xiangchi's reaction, Xu Xiangchi's head was still hanging low, there was no movement, if you had to see anything clearly, the only movement was unending tears.

Xu Xiangchi laughed coldly, his body shook with the laughter, and he felt that what his father said was a little interesting.

Good for her?

Hehe.

Can she be so blatantly compared for her sake?

Can doing her good negate all her efforts?

Do you have to deny her choice for her sake?

For her good, these three words have become compliments because of the word "good"?

Xu Xiangchi felt that these three words were more stinging than any derogatory words and heavier than any language, and she didn't like them.

Xu Xiang turned around slowly, raised her already red eyes, met Xu's father's gaze, and then indifferently glanced at these people who were sitting and watching the play.

The corners of Xu Xiangchi's mouth subconsciously trembled with a smile, forcing her vocal cords to speak for herself, but she couldn't speak.

Then everyone saw Xu Xiangchi with dull eyes, trembling corners of his mouth, and messy hairstyle.

Xu Xiangchi shook his head, then turned around, shook off his father's restraint, and walked outside without thinking.

She didn't want to stay for a second.

I don't want to stay in this filthy world for a second.

She wanted to go to a place where there was no one now, and suddenly Xu Xiangchi thought of the address on the letter, White Tiger Mountain.

Yes, she's going.

She's going to see Ling Xingxiang, she must go.

Only Ling Xingxiang will not blindly deny her, only Ling Xingxiang will not.
