More than ten kilometers southeast of Qingshan Town, there is a place called Chai Village. In the mountains behind Chai Village, the scenery is beautiful, and in recent years, the tourism industry has been vigorously developed, and all kinds of homestays have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.

Yu Guang called a hitchhiker, and the car refused to go further when it drove to the entrance of Chai Village. Yu Guang didn't force it, after paying the money, he got out of the car, and then went to the village and spent fifty yuan to hire an uncle to drive a tricycle, and sent him to a place called Maple Ridge in the mountains behind.

The uncle was very talkative, and as soon as the car moved, he asked him, "Who are you going to see in Maple Ridge?" ”

Yu Guang replied: "Family." ”

The uncle glanced at him and said, "You don't seem to be very old, are you thirty years old?" ”

"It's more than thirty." Yu Guang replied.

"You didn't have anything with you? At this time, the shops there are not open. Uncle said again.

Yu Guang looked ahead and hummed softly, "I know." ”

The uncle saw that he didn't really want to talk about this kind of topic, so he smiled and talked about other things. The afterglow responds with a pair or not.

Ten minutes later, the tricycle arrived at the parking lot under Maple Ridge.

"Is it okay to get here?" Uncle asked him.

Yu Guang nodded and said okay.

After the uncle turned the tricycle around, he suddenly stopped and asked him, "Do you want me to wait for you?" Saying that, the uncle seemed to be worried that Yu Guang had misunderstood, and added: "Don't worry, I won't charge you money when I go back." ”

Yu Guang shook his head and said, "No need, thank you." ”

Seeing this, the uncle sighed quietly and left.

Yu Guang turned to look at the imposing gate not far away, took a deep breath, and walked forward.

On the sunny slopes, the pines and cypresses are evergreen.

Yu Guang easily found the one that belonged to them among the rows of gray-white stone tablets.

He didn't dare to get close to the past, and sat down on the ground two or three meters away, quietly looking at the two photos he had personally selected on the stone tablet not far away. After seven years of wind and sun, the photos have faded a little. But the face above has become clearer and clearer in his mind over the years. He could always hear them asking him why he hadn't found Zhiyuan yet, and the questions were deafening in the dark night.

"I'm sorry, I haven't found him yet." He murmured softly, and the guilt in his eyes mixed with sadness, like the mountain stream, not surging, but never ending.

Under the scorching sun, he sat there, but it was like sitting in the cold winter wind and snow.

Until, the red sun goes down.

The appearance of the administrator finally brought Yu Guang back to the world.

"Let's go, the sun is going down." The administrator said, reaching out to help him. Yu Guang didn't refuse, and with his strength, he slowly stood up. His body, which had not moved for a long time, was stiff and heavy, and it took him a while to recover.

The administrator glanced at the stone tablet not far away, sighed, and said: "Young man, it's been so many years, let it pass, let it pass, life and death are fate, we can only accept fate." ”

Yu Guang did not respond.

The word resignation is easy to say, but a few people can easily do it!

He couldn't.

If they lived, he thought, it would not be possible either.

The winding mountain road is empty.

Yu Guang was alone, facing the mountain wind, walking slowly. In his mind, the first twenty years of his life flashed one by one, and finally stayed on that day seven years ago.

He watched his mother fall in front of him and never got back up.

From that day on, his life came to a complete halt.

In the past seven years, he has been busy, but he is in a mess, he can't find salvation, he doesn't even dare to die, he is afraid to see them, and he is even more afraid that they will not see him.

In the wind, there was moisture spreading on his face.

He raised his hand blankly, put it in front of his eyes, and suddenly laughed.

That day, his father slapped him in the face, stared at him with an enemy-like gaze, and asked him, "What right do you have to cry?" ”

yes, what right does he have to cry?

He bought off Xiaoyuan and his mother's two lives with two million, what right did he have to cry?

But what could he do?

On the one hand, there is a mother who has lost her life, and on the other hand, a father who is in danger but is still alive, how should he choose?

He didn't have the right to cry, but if he tried again, he would still choose it.

Regret it?

In the past seven years, countless days and nights, he has asked himself this question more than once, and the answer has never been second.

But he felt guilty.

He hated himself for not being capable, hated for not having money, hated a lot.

These hatreds, in the past seven years, have tormented him constantly, making him miserable, but also reminding him that he is still alive.

Probably only in this way can he live.

June 3, 2016 at 20:17 p.m.

Wild House Resort.

When Yu Guang entered, the little girl at the front desk was sitting on the sofa with her mobile phone and watching TV, probably seeing some interesting picture and giggling with laughter.

Yu Guang shouted twice in a row to attract the little girl's attention from her phone.

Seeing someone coming, the little girl was a little embarrassed, hurriedly put away her mobile phone, and got up to greet him.

After booking the room, Yu Guang asked her, "Do you still have anything to eat now?" ”

The little girl glanced at the wall clock on the wall, thought for a while, and said, "Auntie is already off work, but there are noodles in the kitchen, if you want to eat them, I can make you a bowl, but it may not be delicious, do you want it?" ”

Yu Guang nodded: "Yes, then I will trouble you." How much? ”

The little girl waved her hand and grinned, "It's just a bowl of noodles, no money." So are you eating here? Or will I send you to your room later? ”

Yu Guang was embarrassed to trouble the little girl too much, so he said, "Let's eat here." ”

"Okay, then you go sit and rest for a while, and you'll be fine soon." After the little girl finished speaking, she walked out from behind the front desk and went to the kitchen. After walking a few steps, he stopped again and asked Yu Guang: "Do you eat green onions?" ”

"I'm not a picky eater." Yu Guang replied with a smile.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to make an OK gesture at him.

The noodles came quickly, the clear soup noodles, a poached egg lying on it, and a few blanched vegetables, and the little girl also served a plate of peanuts and a small bag of mustard.

"There's nothing left in the kitchen, so you're going to eat." The little girl spoke, but sat down across from the afterglow.

Yu Guang hadn't eaten much all day, and although the noodles didn't taste good, he felt good when he was hungry. After eating, he looked up and smiled at the little girl and said, "It tastes good, thank you." ”

When the little girl heard this, her whole face suddenly lit up.

"Really?" The little girl couldn't believe it: "It's delicious? ”

Yu Guang nodded: "Well, it's delicious." ”

The little girl was very happy: "You still have taste." ”

Yu Guang was amused by his words and asked her, "Did someone say it didn't taste good?" ”

The little girl pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "My boyfriend, he said that the noodles I made were the most unpalatable he had ever tasted." ”

After listening to this, Yu Guang hesitated for a moment before saying seriously: "He is not suitable for you." ”

I thought that the little girl would be unhappy when she heard it, but unexpectedly, she also nodded seriously: "I think so too, so I plan to make him an ex-boyfriend!" After that, he grinned at Yu Guang again, looked at Yu Guang's face for a moment, and asked with a little curiosity, "Uncle, what about you?" Got a girlfriend? ”

Yu Guang blinked and said, "You call me uncle, do you think I have it?" ”

When the little girl heard this, she said with a little disappointment: "Sure enough, there are no good-looking men left!" After that, he got up to put away the dishes, Yu Guang was embarrassed to let her wash it, so he hurriedly snatched it over and said, "I'll go wash it, where is the kitchen?" ”

The little girl was not polite to him, and after pointing in the direction of the kitchen, she sat back on the sofa.

After washing the dishes and coming out, he found that the little girl had sat back at the front desk and continued to watch her TV. Yu Guang said hello to her and went to her room.
