Chapter 202: What I've Been Doing All My Life
The proprietress instantly understood what she meant, and she glanced at Taozhi, "You watch Ah Yu at home, I'll go out." ”
Momozhi was a little worried, "Master, I'll accompany you." ”
The proprietress shook her head, "I'll do this alone, can you watch Ah Yu for me?" ”
Momozhi could only nod, "Okay." ”
At this time, the rain was still falling, she walked downstairs to look at the somewhat bleak street, picked up the oil-paper umbrella behind the door and was about to go out.
Seeing this, the employee of the embroidery shop asked, "Boss, why did you go out at this time when it was raining so hard?" ”
"I think of some tricks, I want to go out and see them."
"It's raining heavily, be careful."
She smiled and nodded and held the umbrella into the rain, the rain crackled and snaked down on the umbrella surface, her eyes looked at everything in front of her with some nostalgia and some reminiscence.
It has been many years since his death, and he has never seen the scenery of today, and he is trapped in that embroidery shop all day long, watching the customers come and go, and he is converging in his own memories.
She raised her head, after all, she didn't reach out to touch the touch of the rain, passing by one storefront after another, seeing the old people she knew in the past, they saw her passing by and raised their voices to say hello, she responded with a smile.
Until she stepped into that familiar alley again, it gave her a feeling of being in a different world, and she stood with an umbrella for a long time, holding the handle of the umbrella tightly in her hand, and slowly stepped into it.
In the mayor's room, the sudden knock on the door made Mayor Wu a little surprised, he got up to open the door, and his face was full of incredulity when he saw the person coming.
The proprietress had a smile on her lips, "It's been a long time since the mayor of the town. ”
Mayor Wu's expression was a little dazed, he opened his mouth, and seemed to struggle for a long time before he spit out a few words, "You...... What's wrong with it? He seemed to be simply confused.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" The hostess's smile was a little bitter.
Mayor Wu let go of his body in a trance, and followed behind her step by step.
"What's wrong with your leg?" The proprietress saw him limping and was a little puzzled.
Wuzhen moved his lips, "The road is slippery on a rainy day, and I fell." ”
The proprietress didn't ask any more questions, and put the umbrella down, "Since Pingping died, we haven't seen each other for many years." ”
Hearing his deceased wife's name, his expression struggled for a moment, "Yes, it's been many years," he said.
"I came to you today, in fact, I want to tell you something," she tightened her fingers slightly, as if considering her words.
Seeing this, Mayor Wuzhen was a little nervous, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Actually, I don't know whether to believe you or not," her expression was solemn, but she was a little confused.
"You say," Mayor Wuzhen's expression tightened, and he seemed to have a premonition in his heart, and he became more and more restless.
The proprietress took a deep breath, "I don't know if you found out?" All I know is that I almost broke down the moment I remembered it. ”
She smiled, and there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes, "Do you remember the big flood 18 years ago?" ”
Mayor Wuzhen's pupils shook violently, and his hands subconsciously grabbed the clothes on his thighs, "Da Shui, Da Shui," he muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he felt like the world was spinning, and his mind seemed to be tapping with an awl, and his hand held on to the table, like a fish starved of water, and he breathed heavily, "What did I forget, and what do you want to say?" ”
He stared at the person in front of him, "What do you know? His expression was tangled and struggling, cold sweat was running down his forehead, and he almost bent down in pain.
"We've been dead, we've been dead for 18 years," the proprietress whispered to his ears like a ghost.
"No, no, it's not," he almost screamed, "you're lying to me, you're all lying to me." ”
Messy memories filled his mind, like sharp knives cutting his head, his wife's voice and smile gradually emerged, and his daughter's immature voice seemed to be asking over and over again.
Memories are like beasts out of the gate, the moment he breaks through, he rushes out without concealment, rampage and ruthlessly raging in his mind, memory is like a knife in his heart, those forgotten pasts, as if reminding him of his stupidity.
He covered his face in embarrassment and let the tears pour down, "How can there be such a stupid person as me, how can there be a person like me?" The sudden revelation of the truth almost broke him.
The proprietress sighed lightly, "You have to watch the fate of the enemy well." ”
Mayor Wu looked up suddenly, "When did you remember it?" And when was it discovered? ”
Looking at his somewhat crazy look, the proprietress furrowed her eyebrows slightly, "If you can't hold on, how can you go to see Ah Yu." ”
Just such a simple sentence made his expression freeze instantly, "What are you talking about?" He asked in a hurry.
"You know what? When I think of all this, my heart is like a knife cutting piece by piece, and I see Ah Yu passing by my store again and again in my memory, and I don't realize her existence at all," she looked up at him, a touch of sadness on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that Mayor Wu was at a loss, she continued to say to herself, "I saw so many threads wrapped around her body, I was wondering if she was in pain, how uncomfortable was she?" Such a young child, suffering so much, that is the only blood left by my sister! But she died quietly, and she didn't even rest after death. ”
She stared at Mayor Wuzhen, "Do you know how much I hated that short moment? If it weren't for that master, I wouldn't have seen Ah Yu in my life. ”
I'm afraid that even Yan Qiao didn't think that there was such a relationship between them.
Wuzhen didn't speak for a long time, he just stared at his eyes and the whole person was as stiff as a walking corpse, "Ah Yu," he pronounced these two words, extremely difficult.
Finally, his mind seemed to be split by a white blade, and the truth was sent to him, and it was so cruel for everything to be revealed, only then did he think of the small figure he had seen countless times, and he remembered the ghost who followed the adult, it turned out that his fish had appeared in front of him many times.
"Why didn't I recognize her?" He covered his face and smiled lowly, a sickly distorted laugh, revealing everything, "I didn't even recognize my daughter, do you mean it, it's been so long, I've seen it again and again, ah, hahahaha." ”
His eyes were red with a smile, and he slammed his head on the table with a thud, "What have I been doing all my life?" His tone was very light, as if the wind was about to disperse.
