One day during the summer vacation, when the construction of the office had just begun, the work had been temporarily suspended at night, and everyone went to rest and eat after work, and the factory was empty. He had just finished dumbbells, push-ups, his heart had not slowed down, he turned on the lights, stood and looked at the drawings, and his watch showed that it was more than nine o'clock. He listened to the rare silence outside, with the undulating sound of frogs, insects, and one of the special sounds, the weaver girl.

Walking out of the door, I thought that I could hear more realistically when I got closer, but I saw a car parked on the side of the curb across the road fifty meters away from Chu Rong. Between the previous street light and the next, the driver's face did not emerge from the darkness, but even so, he was able to distinguish the style of the car - the Nissan Blue Bird. Old, grayish-blue, but the tires look new. The car was too old and didn't fit in with the newly built black asphalt road. Chu Li stared at the motionless car, and he seemed to be able to feel that there were people in the car. He naturally remembered Chen Yusen's Blue Bird, which was exactly the same as this one. There is a guardrail in the middle of the road, which is not high, and it is just a matter of stepping over. He took a few slow steps towards it, and suddenly the car started, and the engine sounded the same as it had been years before, except for a little more noise. As if he suddenly understood something, he accelerated and ran forward, and a car behind him was still unable to see the driver's face as the lights shone in the opposite car. He jumped to his feet, jumped over the guardrail and crossed the road, the car behind him braked suddenly, making a sharp noise, and the driver poked his head out and hurled insults...... When he was three meters away from the gray-blue Blue Bird car, he suddenly roared on the accelerator, and he didn't even turn on the lights, and whistled past in front of his eyes. Chu Li followed the car wildly, and the blue bird also struggled to emit blue smoke but quickly threw him away. There was a clear smell of her in the air, and he shouted "Chen Si-" while running in ecstasy, and the car ruthlessly disappeared into the distance. He ran until he couldn't breathe, and when he stopped to catch his breath, sweat mixed with tears slid down his mouth, neck, chest. Suddenly it began to rain, and he looked around in a daze, except for a few barely visible villages in the distance, there was only a large patch of artemisia grass and reeds, which grew as tall as a man, and he saw that the tip of the reed, the tip of the artemisia grass was misted by the raindrops, and it was not a heavy rain, but it seemed very large. When I walked back to the factory, the rain stopped, the wind rose, and the leaves of the reeds with barbs tore each other and made a rustling sound, you beat me, I beat you, rustle, rustle.

Chu Li walked back to the room, the mobile phone was lying on the table, he picked it up and pressed Chen Si's number directly, and it was already off. He finds the car keys and starts the car. It wasn't until the air conditioner made him shiver constantly, and when he saw the stars, the moonlight, and the morning glow rising on the edge of the highway, he realized that he had been driving for more than ten hours in his soaked clothes, he parked the car in the service area, took out dry clothes from the trunk and changed them, bought another bowl of noodles, ate half of it, threw down the chopsticks and continued to drive, he glanced at the name of the service area - Yueyang Service Station.

Continuing all the way north, he arrived in Yichang at noon. In a trance, his feet were almost numb, he didn't stop for a moment, parked the car under the mountainside, and walked between the two rows of trees, aspen, camphor, and osmanthus were all upright The best time of the year, full of fragrance. He had no time to admire, and walked on the uneven dirt and stone road, one foot deep and one foot shallow, to the door of the small building. The sight was disappointing. The courtyard gate is still locked, no popularity, and two years ago when I came to the same as the same as when I came, the courtyard wall can see the corner of the hawthorn tree full of small flowers, some branches also hang a few hawthorn, green. He stretched out his hands and held them on the iron door, resting his face between the two iron railings, and resting his chin on the rusty iron beams that lay horizontally. Looking from it, the weeds in the yard were about to occupy everything, and the cement floor, which had been left before, had now cracked and shattered to the size of a bowl, and the newly grown grass grew out of the cracks, and the uneven vision was blocked. But I can barely see the garage, and there, it's empty! But there were no rut marks on the ground, and it didn't look like the car had recently been driven out of the garage. Despite this, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he told himself that it must be Chen Si yesterday! It must be Chen Si! It has to be! He looked greedily at the foyer, Langfang, the second floor, and the small attic with a sloped roof, although there was no sign of human activity, he seemed to see Chen Si being in it yesterday, pacing inside, looking out. As he was leaving, he noticed a sign standing on the path he had come up with - For Sale. And leave a mobile phone number. He repeatedly, up and down to check the sign, a piece of white acrylic material, the words on it are not handwritten, but pasted, gently shaken with his hand and do not move, although the pole is wooden, but it is definitely not the kind of rotten wood picked up from the composite board or the garbage heap, but a log with a smooth surface, you can see the dense texture of the wood, the grass is dug up where the ground is broken, and the soil is turned over like a wound on this small slope, and the signboard should have only been erected not long ago. After taking out his mobile phone to make a call, the person who answered the phone asked in a tone that had not woken up in Yichang dialect: "Hello, Zhongchi Real Estate." “

Chu Li asked the landlord's contact information, but the agent refused, saying that it was inconvenient to contact unless he intended to sell. Chu Li then said that he intended to buy it, but the other party was skeptical, and he was still unwilling to give up this possible big business, saying that he would ask the landlord first. Chu Li put down the phone and his heart was pounding, and the tiredness of running and galloping all night began to slowly invade, he retreated to the iron gate, found a flat place, and sat down against the iron gate, just enough to comfortably look at the mountains in the distance, like a sharp wall, and a faint river. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, cool, and drove the artemisia grass in the yard, and the poplars, camphor, and osmanthus trees on the road, and suddenly there was a lively and lively noise.

When another gust of wind from Wushan blew down the canyon, he saw the reeds swaying, bowing their heads, kissing, and dancing. In the next moment, the chirping suddenly stopped, the rushing car was silent, and the whole land seemed to be pressed the mute button, even though it was busy, but it was silent. Chu Li opened his eyes, he thought he was deaf, he reached out and rubbed his ears, but saw a thin person, standing tall at the end of the wall, under the branches of the hawthorn tree that were warped and drooping, against the sun, her silhouette emitted a circle of golden light, like a miracle. She is a very beautiful girl with a delicate figure, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, she is smiling like an orchid, and at this moment she is also looking at the river in the distance in a daze. Chu Li stood up against the wall, "Quietly? ”

"Stinky pear!" Chen Jing turned her head and regained her mischievous smile. Although she has never seen Chen Jing here, her face is embedded in the picture at this moment, which is extremely harmonious.

"You ......"

"This is my house, why are you here?"

"I, I'm coming......" Chu Li forgot the purpose of his coming.

"You're coming to my sister, aren't you?"

"Hmm."

"I know you're not here for me." Chen Jing pouted and pretended to be angry as before. After a while, he smiled and said, "Stinky pear, don't worry about me anymore." ”

"What?"

As soon as Chen Jing turned around, he disappeared by the wall. Chu Li hurriedly chased after him, crossed the corner of the wall, but saw no trace of her, and when he looked up, he saw that she was waving vigorously halfway up the mountainside, and she could see her childlike smile from a distance. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

"Quietly-" Chu Li shouted loudly! The echo came from the other side of the river.

Chu Li opened his eyes suddenly, and the reeds, poplars, camphor, and osmanthus trees in front of him were noisy, knowing that they were calling. He touched his face, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes and into his hair.

The phone rang, and it was the number on the sign in front of me.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Liu of Zhongchi Real Estate, Mr. Your surname?"

"My last name...... Zhao. ”

"Hello Mr. Zhao, the landlord is not in Yichang today, but he can arrange a meeting tomorrow. Is it convenient for you? ”

Chu Li stood up from the ground. "Yes. By the way, what is the landlord's surname? ”

"Chen." Xiao Liu paused, "Will we meet tomorrow?" ”

"Okay."

"See you in Nayiling Square, our store address ......"

found the hotel last time, Chu Li found the room last time, and fell asleep.

At the appointed time the next day, Chu Li parked the car on the side of the road, found a bathroom in the mall and washed his face, he was too haggard in the mirror, he was excited last night and didn't sleep all night, but fortunately he slept all afternoon. Seeing Chen Si like this, I was afraid that she was going to scare her, but I couldn't care about it. He picked up the water, and the water splashed everywhere. He looked up and in the mirror before walking out.

The moment he saw Chen Yulin, he tried his best to restrain his disappointment, and repeatedly checked to see if Chen Si was following behind her.

"How...... How are you? Chen Yulin has not changed much, and there are more fine wrinkles on his face, but he still looks very energetic.

"Hello Auntie, long time no see."

"Chu Li, you want to buy this house?"

The intermediary just went to serve water for the two of them, Chu Li shook his head, "I thought, I thought it was Chen Si." “

"Let's go, don't be here. I'll take you out for a walk. “

The two of them left Yiling Square in the surprised eyes of the intermediary, Chen Yulin took Chu Li and turned into Xiling all the way, and went straight to the west, she wanted to find a water source, the kind of river water that is wide and takes away the past is the most suitable. Soon his eyes were already in contact with the river. After a while, we arrived at Yanjiang Avenue.

"I heard that you and she have also been separated for a long time."

"Yes."

"Then why are you still looking for her?"

Chu Li couldn't answer, and Chen Yulin also had an answer.

"I don't know where she is, she hasn't been back for almost two years. She rarely calls me because it's not convenient to be abroad. Now that young people have WeChat, I don't have her WeChat. But the next time you call, I can ask her for you. “

"She hasn't been back home recently?"

"No, I don't. But no matter how worthless my aunt is, she will come to see it anyway. “

"I've been to the old house to see it, did I have a funeral?"

"yes, my brother's business."

"Uncle?"

"When I came back from Dongguan, it didn't take long for a malignant tumor to be detected. Jet gate cancer, I really don't know where the cancer grows. He passed away after chemotherapy did not survive. “

"I thought it was ......"

"Jingjing is a young man, and this side will not do such a formal white thing for young people. After her ashes were brought back, they were buried in the back mountain. “

"Back Mountain?"

"Yes, the back hillside of the old house."

Chu Li couldn't help but think of that dream yesterday. Chen Jing stood on the back mountainside and waved goodbye to him......

"That'...... And what about the car? “

"What car?"

"Uncle Chen used to have a Blue Bird car."

"The couple drove away. I drove to Wuhan or what. “

Chu Li seemed to have been blown up by thunder, and froze in place. It was like being smashed in the chest by a sledgehammer, and then smashed it a second time to the door of the head, and suddenly his heart ached like a knife, his eyes were full of stars, his stomach began to turn over, and his breathing was not smooth. He couldn't restrain his emotions, quietly turned his face away, bit his lip hard, and dragged his legs to keep up with Chen Yulin's pace. At this time, on the other side of the river, there is a sandbar with green trees, several restaurants, and a church standing alone on the oasis.

"The year before last, or last year, Chen Si came back once, and after driving the car away, he never came back. No, she asked me to sell the house. This house is dilapidated and old, and there has been an accident, and acquaintances must not dare to buy it. “

Chen Yulin was still talking, but Chu Li didn't want to know much anymore. "She can't live here anymore, anything touches the scene, I can understand that. Her husband is from Hong Kong, and the economic conditions should not be bad, so the two went abroad together. I don't know much about what happened next. She doesn't call me much, maybe I remind her of her father and sister. I don't understand, what kind of sins our family has created, one after another. My sister-in-law was so young that she became ill and left behind two daughters. How can my brother take care of him alone? He himself was so busy. Jingjing has lacked discipline since she was a child, and she is more rebellious when she grows up, Chen Si, she looks mature, but in fact, I don't know her very well. “

Seeing that Chu Li didn't speak anymore, she didn't continue to say this, "That's Chen Si's University Nuo, you see-" The direction of her finger was a few high-rise buildings with their backs to the river, Chu Li didn't see any landmark buildings, but he saw a white building. He knew that it must be the Three Gorges University.

"Why are you asking about her car?"

"Oh, nothing, I just saw the garage empty."

"Chu Li, didn't you put it down?" Seeing that Chu Li didn't speak, she immediately said: "Since she chose to leave, it must be the most beneficial decision for her, and you have to fulfill it." For yourself, look forward and don't live in the past. You're a good person, forget about her. ”

After a long time, he said, "This house is still the best to sell, and it is a sad place for everyone." ”

"Auntie, I'm sorry to let you come from Wuhan."

"It's okay, it's okay. I would like to talk to you. Let's have dinner together in the evening, right? ”

"No, I have to go back."

After Chu Li returned to Dongguan, he immediately had a severe cold. After a few days of fever, I finally got into a mess and pushed myself back on the right track. From then on, he began to suspect that he was having auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and a few more times after that, he saw the blue-gray blue bird, plus he had seen it a few times when he lived in Xiao Ye's house before.
