As far as he could see, except for the vast mountains, there was white snow. Baili Tong tried to take a step forward, but his body tilted and he immediately sank deep into the snow nest.
The snow in the mountains is heavier than outside, and it lasts for a long time. The snow almost reaches people's thighs. Let alone him, even a young man with nimble legs and feet may not be able to pass smoothly.
When the driver saw him leaning there, he immediately ran over and pulled him out of the snowdrift, "Sir, there is really no way to go from here. If you want to get over, you can only have someone find a way to clear it. Otherwise, who will
You know what's buried under the snow, and if you miss something, it's no joke."
Just kidding, the big boss only comes back more than once a year. If he hurts someone if he goes out with him once, then it would be strange if the eldest lady doesn't skin him alive.
Baili Tong shook off the driver's hand and tried a few more times, but the snow was too heavy and he couldn't pass by himself, so he finally had to give up.
"Go call and ask someone to come over. No matter what method you use, I will definitely go in tomorrow."
After receiving the order, the driver immediately took out his cell phone to notify someone to come over, while Baili Tong stood alone in the wind and snow, as if he wanted to see through the white curtain.
It would take at least four or five hours to drive from Baili's villa to this remote rural area. In addition, it was snowing heavily now, so it was already bright when a large number of people arrived.
The sun was hiding behind thick clouds and did not dare to show its face, but even so, the white snow still stung people's eyes.
Xiao Fei came with the car. She changed into thick ski clothes, but she didn't have time to change the makeup on her face. There was still bright lip gloss on the corners of her bruised mouth.
She watched with cold eyes as Baili Tong stood outside the car and directed the people to carve a path through the snowdrift. When Baili Tong's eyes met hers, her eyes did not avert at all.
Baili Tong looked at that delicate face and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He never thought that she would hide it from him. She has always had big ideas, ever since she was a child. She would never complain to him when she was wronged, and she would have to settle it with her own hands. If she couldn't finish it at the moment,
, she will be like a hibernating snake, waiting calmly until she can give the opponent the opportunity to kill him with a single blow.
He had fallen in love with her at first, not only because of her face, but also because of her temperament. But now that she had set her sights on him, he realized that that little girl who spoke sweetly and always liked to laugh, she
In fact, she had grown up a long time ago, and her growth rate far exceeded his expectations.
For other things, it doesn't matter even if she makes a huge fuss. He, Baili Tong, just wants to show off. But that's the only person... she can't touch, no one can touch... no one!
A dozen people shoveled the snow non-stop, but even so, by the time they arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already almost noon.
It has been snowing for nearly a week, but I don't know when it stopped. Only when the wind blows through the treetops will it bring some snow slag down.
Baili Tong had already been served and changed into heavy winter clothes. His health was really not good. After staying in the cold wind for a long time, his lungs were stinging and even his breathing became slow.
The people on the left and right saw his pale face and wanted to give him a hand, but he waved his hand and stubbornly walked toward the entrance of the village with his cane.
Baili Tong has some selfish motives. He hasn't seen Xu Mingfei for a long time, and he doesn't want her to see him in decline when she first sees him. Although his body has deteriorated to a certain extent, he still puts aside this vanity.
No less.
Xu Mingfei, Xu Mingfei.
Just thinking about this name can make his whole body feel hot. Baili Tong staggered a little, but his steps were very long, as if he wanted to cover the distance of several thousand meters in just a few steps.
There was originally a wooden board at the entrance of the village with the name of the village engraved on it. However, due to disrepair over time, the wooden board was slowly eroded by wind and rain, and the writing on it was no longer visible.
Baili Tong stood at the village sign and could already see some dilapidated houses from far and near. Most of these houses had dark lights and no smoke rising, as if no one was living in them. He was a little undecided for a moment.
I know which one to knock on and ask about Xu Mingfei’s whereabouts.
At this moment, a loud suona sound came from the back of the village, followed by the sound of drums and music.
When Baili Tong heard that voice, his face suddenly turned livid.
That kind of music…
His body trembled slightly, and then he took long strides and walked in the direction of the sound. After turning several low walls covered with white snow, Baili Tong suddenly stopped.
No wonder there is no one in the village. It turns out that everyone gathers at the end of the village to do some idle things.
In the city, no one does this kind of funeral ceremony anymore, but in the village, the tradition of paying tribute is still very intact. The villagers are wearing plain clothes and wearing white scarves on their heads. Several young people are pregnant.
Holding paper money in their hands, they raised it as they walked. The team moved slowly, and low wailing sounds came from the team.
Baili Tong didn't care what they were doing. He only had one thought in his mind now. He wanted to stop one of them and ask them where Xu Mingfei was. But when he walked not far from the team, he saw one of the teenagers holding a
When the portrait was taken, he was completely stunned.
On that photo...that photo...
No...no way...how is it possible...
The woman in the photo has a flowery smile, which is exactly what he loves her most. She always likes to tilt her head and smile softly like this. When she smiles, there is a light dimple on her face.
But now...
"Ming Fei...No way...Ming Fei..." Baili Tong rushed over with staggering steps, pushing aside the few teenagers blocking the front of the team, and was about to snatch the photo. The villagers were first attracted by him.
The move was so startling that someone reacted and immediately shouted, "What are you going to do? Who are you? Why are you trying to steal my teacher's photo!!"
The speaker was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a big head and a big head, and his eyes were red from crying. He angrily pushed Baili Tong, and Baili Tong slipped and fell into the snow.
Baili Tong opened his mouth, but could not make any sound. It was like there was a big hole in his chest, and the wind and snow blew in from there. His heart was blown away, and he felt no pain. He was just cold, bone-chilling.
of cold.
The young man was about to step forward, but someone grabbed his arm. A little girl in soap clothes blocked Baili Tong behind her, "Brother, don't hit him, I know him! There is a photo of him in Teacher Xu's diary
Oh!" After she finished speaking, she turned to Baili Tong and said, "Why are you here?! I sent you a letter, but you didn't reply! I called them, but they said they didn't recognize them! What's wrong with you?
How cruel? What's the point of coming here now?! Teacher Xu... Teacher Xu..."
As the girl spoke, tears flowed out. The boy spat hard, "Girl, don't talk nonsense to him, these city people have bad consciences! Let's go, don't waste the time, let Teacher Xu leave
Unreliable.”
Baili Tong sat on the ground, staring blankly as the team continued to move forward. He stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but there was nothing except the cold air on his fingertips.
Until the coffin covered with white snow slowly passed in front of him, and he suddenly bent down as if someone had stabbed him.
The sweet and fishy taste in your mouth gushes out, leaving dots of red plums in the flawless white snow.
Ming Fei... Xu Ming Fei...
This person will never be found again in heaven and earth.
*
In the dream, it was like walking through thousands of mountains and rivers. Little Xu Mingfei was timidly following behind him. She pulled the corner of his clothes and asked him, "Tong, when will you take me home?"
When Baili Tong woke up again, he had already returned to Baili's old house.
Someone was talking in a low voice in the room. When Xiao Fei saw him open his eyes, he walked straight to his bed and said, "I have arranged a flight for tomorrow to take you back to Switzerland. You are in very bad health."
"Get lost." He said in a low voice, feeling that saying another word to her would be a waste.
Xiao Fei listened and smiled silently. "Let me get out? Have you forgotten who brought me back in the first place? As the saying goes, it's easier to ask a Buddha than to give him away. I won't leave here. I have the final say now.
"
"Who do you think you are? You're just an orphan girl I picked up." Baili Tong became angry, his chest heaving violently.
"Yes, you are right. But that was more than ten years ago. Things are different now." Xiao Fei smiled, "Do you think it was because of me that Xu Mingfei died? Why don't you ask yourself,
Why did she leave in the first place? She has been away for so many years. If she really wanted you to find her, why would she wait until today? Don't look at me like this. If you look at me like this, I will say that it was you who forced her to die.
You know it very well. You have been doing good deeds all these years just because you want to pay for your sins? Tong, it was not me who left her in the hands of those kidnappers."
Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary, but when Baili Tong heard it, it was like gold and iron ringing together.
It's been a long, long time, and no one dared to mention this to him.
He wanted to shout angrily, but he felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, and when he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with fishy smell.
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. You are here today because of your own fault. I didn't want to say these words, but you went too far. Tong, do you think she will want to see you? When she
When she is terminally ill and her beauty is gone, would she want to see the person she loved and hated back then? Don't be stupid. You and I both know that is impossible. She would rather walk away clean than have any contact with you again."
She has a pair of glass eyes that seem to be able to see through everything. Just like Xu Mingfei back then. However, Xu Mingfei can see everything in the world clearly, but she can only see through people's hearts.
It was precisely because he couldn't see through it that he was injured completely.
Baili Tong collapsed without saying a word.
*
Until his death, Baili Tong never saw Xu Mingfei again.
When he was dying, the girl who stayed with him was the girl he had raised with his own hands and wanted to crush to death with his own hands.
He gave the girl a name, but not a surname.
At the moment when his breathing stopped, he suddenly thought of someone who said to him a long time ago that this feeling can only be remembered, but he was at a loss at that time.
It was just that I was at a loss at that time...
It turns out that not every separation can be met again, and not every mistake can be corrected.
