Chapter 62
The bus was still a little wobbly, and Bai Linyu's eye sockets were sore. When she received the news from Yan Fei, her heart was filled with ups and downs. She turned on her phone and used the software to buy the nearest plane ticket. She only brought her wallet and scarf with her and went to Fengxue run.The airport hall late at night was still a bit messy, which reminded her of the scene when she went to France. Her scenery in the eyes of others seemed more like fleeing.
She couldn't explain how she felt, the fear of running away haunted her all the time, for fear that someone would accidentally know some secrets, and she would feel ashamed and unable to make decisions anymore.The faint morning light was shining, and the bus was already heading for the most remote town.When she reaches this journey, no matter what, she should forget the past. No matter what, she doesn't want to tell that guy He Xueyan that your mother is seriously ill and is about to pass away before it's too late.
The sky lit up little by little, and the mountains here had some characteristics. They stood in the distance like steamed buns, and they were still embellished with green colors in the middle of winter. She suddenly remembered that she had been here a long time ago. Beside her, the girl was slender and sensitive. Although she was a bit cold and delicate when she spoke to others, the panic like a deer in her eyes always showed inadvertently.
Bai Linyu grew up in an official family, and since she was a child, she knew how to read people's words. Those who came to please her parents, who were sincere and who were not, she could tell. Her parents took her to please others. impatient.The eyeballs of those people who are rolling around in the officialdom move, they really have too many eyes.
She doesn't want to watch or listen, but she still pretends to please the people she should please, and ignore the people she can ignore.She has the ability to see people order dishes.She didn't see a little girl like He Xueyan much, so to speak, she was a bit old-fashioned and strange, she suspected that she was born in the wrong age, and she carried some old literati's faults from inside to outside.
At that time, she had everything, and thought she was interesting, so she easily pulled her into her arms, but she was also stupid at that time, and forgot to restrain her bad temper. They were like two hedgehogs, stabbing each other when they were close, and stabbing each other when they were far away. Some people can't stand loneliness.The love when one is young is so hot, yet so stupid...
She was thinking about the past, and with the shaking of the bus, her thoughts had changed a few times. No matter what, Bai Linyu was still happy, as happy as she could shed tears, but she had grown up, and she still had a task ahead of her. Even knowing that He Xueyan ran out desperately and came to the original place, no matter how many turbulences in her heart, the tears in her eyes could no longer fall, only some soreness after staying up all night remained.
The car is over the mountain or over the mountain, and the people on the winding road are a little dizzy.She laughed at herself when she was young, why she chose such a far away place to do charity work.A little older, this road is really a bit overwhelming.She held the mobile phone and wanted to call He Xueyan, hoping that she would answer the call, but her mobile phone signal was lost first.
Sighing in her heart, it seems that no matter whether she can find He Xueyan or not, she can only go on as usual.
One morning in winter, Bai Linyu got out of the car in a mountain town in the south.
She came in a hurry, dressed simply, her hands and feet were still a little cold, the market town is not big, and there are old houses on both sides of a street, she took a look at this place, familiar and strange, it seems to be a scene passing through, the development here Really slow, there are still some traces of the 90s, some very old residential buildings and street shops have hardly changed.
The people on the street spoke the southern dialect with a strong accent. She was an authentic old Beijing, and she hadn't been out of the city to the mountainous area too many times.She thought of He Xueyan's thin body, and complained about her childish temper. She wanted to find a place to relax in winter, but she couldn't find a comfortable place. The mountains were cold and she was not used to eating and living. Qian asked the villagers to go outside and bring back a lot of food for He Xueyan to pass the time.
That girl is an idiot, always doing some outrageous things.As she thought about it, she felt distressed, and walked around the market. Some people thought she was here for tourism, and came over to sell business: "Want to see the Miao Village? Just get in the car and go, 200 yuan does not share a car."
The price has risen a bit fiercely, it was very cheap a long time ago.The man was short and tanned, and he kept yelling at her: "Let's go, there are no cars in front, and there are few people in this season. I can see that you are an outsider. I will not bully you, and I will give you a discount."
Bai Linyu didn't care about the money. Standing among a bunch of drivers, she took out a photo of He Xueyan with her mobile phone and said, "Have any of you seen this person before?"
It was a work photo of He Xueyan. The driver saw that it was a beautiful woman asking questions, and several of them came over to look at it, frowning and shaking their heads: "There are so many soliciting customers in a day, I can't remember so many."
Bai Linyu didn't get any definite news, so he sighed and transferred a younger guy from among the drivers to board a Jetta.The car drove away, and the driver said to her, "It's more than 30 kilometers away. That person blackmailed you just now. I'll charge you 80 yuan."
She said thank you, but the driver still muttered to himself: "Sister, I think you look familiar, have you met you somewhere?"
She didn't talk to her, and the young man drove the driveway: "Don't be afraid, I'm not talking nonsense, I seem to have seen you before." After thinking about it while driving, he was pleasantly surprised: "I saw you on TV, big sister Have you ever been on a satellite TV show, you're a celebrity."
Bai Linyu thinks he's noisy. She has started to become famous now, first in the cultural circle, then among the literary and artistic youths in the city, and then to the working people. The more people know her, it has to be said that Yan Fei is very good at propaganda work. With a lot of connections and tricks, she just tossed her unpopular book around and made money for the publishing house.
She turned her head and smiled at the young man, "I wrote a book and it appeared on TV. It's a pleasure to meet you. Drive hard, don't drive into the ravine."
She has always been very gentle in her speech. The young man was wearing a gray down jacket and smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I have walked this road since I was a child, and I am very familiar with it. I have walked several times every day for 20 years. I am this village." The people in the former village promise to send you safely, there are many people traveling abroad in recent years, otherwise who would have known that there were such things in the mountains before."
"Have you really never seen the person in the photo?" Bai Linyu asked again.
The young man tried his best to recall: "I seem to have seen it before, but I don't seem to have seen it. Although it is the off-season, there are always hundreds of tourists a day. I am on the road in a sports car, and sometimes I don't see so many. Are you traveling or looking for someone?"
"I'm looking for her." Bai Linyu replied, and the driver was curious: "It's so strange, you found someone in the mountains and came here. It's an appointment to travel together."
Bai Linyu smiled and didn't speak, but the young man said, "Elder sister is a writer and a person of culture. A while ago, many people mentioned that they came here to pick up songs. You won't be disappointed if you come here. The scenery here is beautiful and the people are warm. That's it. It’s far away from the city, the transportation is too inconvenient, there are few hospitals and schools, and good doctors and teachers can’t stay. In the past two years, I’ve had money, and it’s a little better, but it still doesn’t work, and I haven’t finished my studies.”
He told the situation, Bai Linyu thought about whether he could see He Xueyan, but didn't listen to what he said for a while, after the [-] kilometers of winding mountain road, she stayed up late and felt motion sick, and almost vomited at the gate of the village, the driver found a mineral spring for her Water, Bai Linyu drank water at the door and rinsed his mouth. After being bored and nauseated for a long time, he finally looked up. The cottage was right in front of him. Everything was the same as before, but there were some more billboards. Thinking of the past, he almost shouted at the door. A few words came out.
She walked those roads, looking around every step she took. Some of the villagers had already moved away, but many Han people rented houses to do some business.She took the photos and looked around, and when she asked about the third shop, the boss said she saw it familiarly, maybe a few days ago, bought some things a few days ago, and it is not clear whether the person left or not.
He Xueyan has been here.
With just this one clue, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she was encouraged again. She didn't know why He Xueyan came, she only knew that she was here, and if she came, she was very happy.
No wonder Yan Fei was depressed, the girl knew that He Xueyan was coming, so she decided to admit defeat.
She couldn't wait to take two steps forward, and continued to inquire. The cottage was only that big in total, and she would always find some clues if she kept asking, but she almost finished asking about the hotel on the street, and no one knew about He Xueyan.
She searched around, and began to worry about whether she had left, so she took out her cell phone to call He Xueyan, and the cell phone was turned off.
After thinking about it for a long time, I was still hungry and still had some stomach pains. I still wanted to go to the small shop nearby to buy some bread and drink some mineral water. Open to the outside world."
The small road is familiar, she thanked the hotel owner for his kind reminder, recalled the past scenes, and blamed herself for being stupid. With He Xueyan's fear of strangers, she might not be able to stay in the former village that has become a tourist.The elementary school was just behind, and she had to follow her memory to find it.
The path was winding, she climbed the mountain backwards, there were very few travelers, and she was the only one left walking in the midst of the Qiulin after walking one more hill.She has walked this road before, and when she walks it again, her mood is so different.
Houzhai is not like the buildings in the front where the buildings are concentrated. Most of the houses are scattered in the mountains and are not closely connected, because they can't be developed in this way. Bai Linyu thinks a little selfishly, but fortunately they haven't been developed yet.Among her few memories about the mountains, this place is of course the most beautiful.
As she was walking on the road, she heard the jingling bells of the school. She counted the time, and the winter vacation of the students was approaching. She had a thought and blamed He Xueyan for being too stupid. Enduring exhaustion, she quickened her pace and walked to the school on the top of the mountain. .
The courtyard is newly built, and the elementary school is still very beautiful.She heard a child studying, and walked over to have a look. There was air conditioning in the classroom, and everything was different from before, except that there were very few students, no more than five or six.She looked around, but saw a man in his 60s or [-]s on the stage. She knew that man, and he was Teacher Wang who was here as a substitute teacher a long time ago.
She was about to knock on the door and go in, asking if he had seen He Xueyan.
"Lin Yu?"
She heard a voice calling her.
Turning his head, he saw a woman coming from the mountain road.
There will always be more than a month without seeing each other, and everything seems to have passed away. She was stunned for a moment, and what she saw was He Xueyan from yesterday, but the He Xueyan in her memory had grown up, and she looked like an adult. The withered lacrimal gland didn't know what was going on, two lines of tears flowed out, and said in a low voice: "Xueyan, do you still remember what we said, will you come back to teach together?"
He Xueyan was also a little surprised. Seeing that it was her, and seeing that her face was still in a state of distress, she pulled her away from the classroom door and pulled her all the way to the mountainside before saying: "I told the child, but you didn't. You It’s just that there are so many mosquitoes here, you don’t want to come back.”
She told the truth, but Bai Linyu smiled: "You remember."
He Xueyan didn't deny it: "I remember those things." After a pause, she looked at her: "How did you find this place?"
Bai Linyu didn't have time to hug her, didn't have time to say love, and couldn't even say these things. She wished she hadn't been here, regretting that girl Yan Fei gave her such a bad job, and said first: "I'm looking for you, your mother is seriously ill , you have to go back with me first."
He Xueyan's face froze instantly.
