Volume II: Before Dawn Chapter 041: The Beginning
At nine o'clock the next morning, Wang Yongming knocked on the door of Yu Guang's house with Xiaosi.
Yu Guang was stunned when he saw Xiao Si, and looked at Wang Yongming with a frown.
Wang Yongming said with a smile: "He has to go, saying that there is a water amusement park in Qingshan Town now, and he wants to go and have fun." β
Although Yu Guang didn't believe Wang Yongming's words, he couldn't say anything. After all, this Qingshan Town is not his family, and if Xiao Si wants to go, he can't stop him.
Qingshan Town is about 70 kilometers away from Yuehu City, and if you take the expressway, you can get there in about an hour.
At half past ten, the three of them arrived outside Qingshan Town.
At the end of 08, he happened to participate in the completion of a big project, got a lot of bonuses, and thought that his parents were always renting a house, so he scraped together some money to buy a small two-room house in this town. It's a pity that none of them can live in this house.
Qingshan Town is not big, with a total of only two streets. One is against the provincial road and one is inside. The house Yu Guang bought was at the end of the street inside.
A seven-story old building, the walls have begun to peel off. Yu Guang's house is on the first floor, with a small courtyard, and outside the courtyard wall is a hundred-year-old plane tree.
A large part of the reason why he bought this house at that time was also because of this plane tree.
Wang Yongming parked the car in the shade under the plane tree. After Yu Guang took his backpack and got out of the car, he was about to drive the two away, but the two refused to leave, so they had to help Yu Guang clean the house before leaving.
Yu Guang didn't have the energy to argue with them, so he went with them.
In a two-bedroom house, there is almost no furniture in it. After Wang Yongming and Xiao Si quickly cleaned the living room and kitchen, they were ready to clean the remaining two rooms. However, the south-facing master bedroom in the two rooms was locked.
Xiao Si asked Yu Guang in a daze: "Brother Yu, why is this room locked?" β
Yu Guang glanced up and said, "This room doesn't need to be cleaned." β
Xiao Si was stupid, and before he could react, Wang Yongming had already come over and pulled him to another bedroom.
In the other bedroom, there was nothing but a single bed.
On the single bed, there is not even a quilt.
"Boss, how do you sleep here, why don't I go to the street and buy some bedding now?" Xiao Si, who was stupid just now, became 'clever' again at this time, lowered his voice and said sneakily.
Wang Yongming raised his hand and knocked on his head, glared at him again, turned around and went out, and asked Yu Guang, who was standing in the courtyard and looking at the plane tree outside the courtyard wall, in a daze: "Brother Yu, there is nothing on this bed, why don't I let Xiaosi buy some?" β
"No, you don't." Yu Guang retracted his gaze, turned around and entered the house, looked at Wang Yongming and said, "Go back when you're done, you don't have to accompany me here." I have a broken left hand, and I am not a waste, so I can't even take care of myself. β
Wang Yongming sneered and said, "It's always inconvenient to break a hand!" β
Yu Guang looked at him, sighed, and said seriously: "I know you're worried about me, but I've been used to being alone all these years, and you always follow me, but I'm not used to it." Obedient, go back! β
Wang Yongming knew that if he continued to talk about it, although Yu Guang would not necessarily be angry with him, he would probably be estranged from him in the future. So, after quickly finishing the cleaning in the room, he took Xiaosi away.
As soon as they left, the room fell silent.
The shadow of the plane tree outside the courtyard was cast through the glass door, plunging the whole room into darkness.
After standing in the darkness for a moment, Yu Guang pulled out a key from his body and opened the locked room.
As soon as the door opened, light poured out of it.
In the small room, there is a double bed and a desk by the window. Under the glass on the desk, there are many photos. There are single photos, there are family photos, and the people on each one are smiling.
Yu Guang pulled out a stool at the table and sat down, and then looked at the picture in silence.
Light and shadow flicker, time passes.
Gradually, the sunset has flown into the sky.
Crimson light crept in through the window, staining the wall at the head of the bed with a dreamy color.
At this time, Yu Guang raised his head slightly as if he had just woken up from a dream, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he got up and walked out, without looking back.
The door was locked again, and it would probably be a year before it was opened.
In the evening in Qingshan Town, the smoke began to fill.
The common people, who had been busy all day, came out for a walk. In front of the auditorium at the back of town, someone danced a square dance. Dynamic music sways gently along with the evening breeze.
Yu Guang sat down on the stone bench next to him, nibbling on the baked cakes, while looking at the smiling people, at this moment, each of them seemed to be happy.
In addition to sleeping, every day he went out in the evening to buy a baked cake or two steamed buns, and then sat on the stone bench in front of the auditorium, watching the elderly men and women laugh in the square, until he saw that the square was empty, and he would leave alone surrounded by mosquitoes.
In this way, day after day, Yu Guang soon became the talk of the people in the town after dinner, and everyone thought he was a little familiar, but no one could remember who he was.
Soon, June arrived.
On the day of the 3rd, Wang Yongming, who had not been able to wait for Yu Guang's call, was relieved, and he and Xiao Si appeared again with large bags of things.
When they arrived, Yu Guang was just about to go out, and when he saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you here?" Yu Guang asked.
Wang Yongming lied with a smile: "I happened to go to the neighborhood to do something, so I came over to take a look." As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Si into the door.
Yu Guang didn't stop him, and said, "You guys are at your own convenience, I have something to go out." β
After Wang Yongming and Xiao Si looked at each other for a while, Wang Yongming hurriedly asked, "Brother Yu, why don't I send you?" β
"No, you don't." Yu Guang replied.
"Then you can drive my car, it's more convenient." Wang Yongming said and immediately handed over the car keys.
Yu Guang glanced at it and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to do something?" The car is given to me, how do you get there? β
Wang Yongming couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm not in a hurry about that, I can wait for you to come back." β
"I'm not coming back today." Yu Guang suddenly didn't want to demolish him, and after laughing helplessly, he said: "I called a car, you can go to the street for a meal later and come back early, don't wait for me, I'll go back in a few days." The words fell, and the phone rang. After Yu Guang glanced at it, he said, "The car is coming, I'm leaving, just help me close the door when you leave." After that, he glanced at the two big bags that Xiao Si was carrying, and after hesitating for a moment, he added: "Just keep half of the things, I can't eat so much." β
If this had been put in the past, he would have let Wang Yongming take it away.
That trip to Xiyong, although he couldn't bring back Liuliu, made him a little different.
Wang Yongming watched Yu Guang's back disappear into the corridor, and asked Xiao Si thoughtfully: "You say, has Brother Yu changed?" β
Xiao Si sighed, looked at Wang Yongming ignorantly, and asked, "What has changed?" Where has changed? β
Wang Yongming rolled his eyes: "I'll ask you superfluously, hurry up and go in and pick up the things and see which ones are left for Brother Yu." β
"Oh. So we're really going back like that? Xiao Si seemed to be a little unwilling.
Wang Yongming glared at him: "Then what do you want to do?" Stay here and wait for Brother Yu to come back? Aren't you afraid that he'll come back and see you're still angry and throw you out of here? β
Wang Yongming's words made him think of the beginning, when Yu Guang was in the service area, he pressed Da Liang, who looked even stronger than Yu Guang, to the ground with one hand, Xiao Si hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't want to do anything!" However, having said that, Xiao Si couldn't help but be curious, and asked again: "Boss, what about Brother Yu's family?" Have you seen it? β
Wang Yongming's expression suddenly became solemn, and he told Xiao Si seriously and seriously: "You must remember that you must not ask this in front of Brother Yu, understand?" β
"Why?" Xiao Si was confused.
Wang Yongming didn't explain, just raised his hand and patted him on the head, and said fiercely: "If you remember, remember, ask so much why you are doing!" β
Xiao Si is finally honest now.
