I counted the third house. The big red iron door was closed tightly but not locked. The old paint on the door had almost peeled off, exposing the inner layer. I stood at the door and faced in. After looking around, I suddenly heard the dog in the yard barking wildly. I quickly took two steps back, and then the big dog lay its head in the gap between the door and the ground and barked at me.
"Hey, please stop barking, okay? I'll give you a gift... No, I brought wine to your master. Go and report it!" As soon as he finished speaking, the dog miraculously stopped barking and started barking vigorously. I leaned on the iron gate with my paws. Then I heard people's footsteps coming from the yard.
I quickly stood up and looked at the big iron gate. A man wearing cotton slippers opened the gate. Suddenly the dog was about to pounce on me, "Get out of here!"
This man had an unshaven beard, and his hair was long and a little messy. It looked like he hadn’t washed his face or had his hair cut for a long time. He stood at the door and pointed at me and asked, "Who are you? Are you okay?"
I looked at him and asked, "Are you Uncle Zhou?"
"I'm not your uncle, who are you and why are you looking for me?" His answer really left me speechless.
I looked at him with a smile, and then walked towards him. Standing a door away from him, I said to him straight to the point: "Uncle Zhou, I have only one purpose for coming here this time, just to go. Look at Lin Yan!”
Lin Yan's uncle was stunned there, then waved his hand towards me and said dismissively: "She doesn't live here with me. She is in City J. She hasn't been back for a long time. She probably won't come back! You go!"
Seeing that he was about to close the iron door, I quickly reached out and pushed it, "Uncle Zhou, you don't have to hide it. I know about Lin Yan. I just want to see her this time!" I said, staring into his eyes. Watch.
He really smelled of alcohol. Did he drink all the alcohol? He looked at me like I was sizing him up, "Who are you? A friend?"
"Well... she's a relatively good friend. Uncle Zhou, just tell her where she is and I'll just go and see her!" I handed him the Erguotou I always bought, "I didn't buy anything here. I bought a box of wine for you from the small shop in your village!"
Uncle Lin Yan's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, but he still pretended to be serious and said to me, "Come in and talk, don't stand outside anymore, but my house is quite messy, don't mind, that's just the way I am." , too lazy to clean up."
I followed him into the gate, and then walked into the yard. I took a look at the edge of the wall. There were so many wine bottles piled up that I couldn't even count them. Unless I ordered them one by one, there were both large and small bottles. It seemed that this Zhou Dashu could do it. A qualified sommelier. I followed him to the main room, which we call the living room. Two sofas were placed on both sides of the main room. The sofas were made of brown leather, and there were a few spots that were scratched by something. There was a hole, there were some clothes scattered on the sofa, I didn’t know if they should be washed, and there were a lot of playing cards lying on the ground. The look of the whole room, I could understand at a glance what kind of person Uncle Lin Yan was. People.
He walked out of the back room and sat on the sofa opposite me with a box of seven-yuan General cigarettes, "Would you like to smoke?"
"No! Thank you!" I pushed back the cigarette he handed me.
He glanced at me, then stood up and walked towards a cupboard in the living room. He looked at him rummaging for a while, then took out a small wallet and came over and sat across from me. While he was flipping through the wallet , while reaching out and scratching his hair, he said to himself, "I remember putting it here, why is it gone? It's strange!"
"What are you looking for?" I looked at him doubtfully. When he scratched his head, cigarette ash fell on his hair. When he scratched his hair, the cigarette ash and hair were stuck together. The shiny hair didn't know. How long has it been since I washed it?
He sighed, took the small wallet and walked towards the cupboard, opened a door and continued rummaging. I walked over and looked at the bottom of a pile of books and pulled out a wallet that was the same as the one before, "Found it That’s it, this is it!”
As he said that, he opened his wallet, took out a note from it and handed it to me, "That's right here, go!" I didn't remember that before, and I didn't look at him after Yanyan left. You go and see It doesn’t matter if you’re watching or if you have anything you want to say, talk to her, oh, by the way, tell her, just say that I, as an uncle, didn’t do a good job and let her take care of herself!”
My hands trembled a little when I looked at the note in my hand. What was written on it was the tombstone number of Lin Yan's cemetery. It seemed that Lin Yan's uncle couldn't remember the location, so he handed this note to me. He picked up the note from the table. He held a bottle of Erguotou below, raised his head and took a sip, then pointed at me and said: "There is a courtyard behind the village, right in there!"
I didn't say anything. Looking at Uncle Lin Yan's virtue, I was really speechless. "Tombstone No. 34, District 2!" Looking at the handwriting on it, it was scrawled like a sloppy person. I walked out of him. At the door of my home, the big dog squatted at the door and looked at me. It whined and barked. It felt like an enemy to me. I bent over suddenly, which was enough to bark wildly, and ran away into the alley. Everyone has said since ancient times, "Wolves are afraid of holding knives, and dogs are afraid of bending down. This may have become a natural habit!"
Going around the village, I saw the compound that Zhou Dashu mentioned. It was indeed quite big, with several tall pine trees standing there. Looking at the door of the compound, an old man was squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette. I took I walked over with the note, and the old man looked at me and asked, "Where is this young man from? Who are you looking for here?"
"Hello, uncle, I'm looking for the tomb of a girl named Lin Yan. This is the monument number!"
Without looking, he pointed and pointed inside and said: "District 2, turn left after entering the door, go straight to the end, and turn right to No. 34!"
It's amazing. I'm really curious that he could be so accurate. I glanced at him and then walked towards the courtyard. There was no one inside. Except for a few big pine trees, there were five rows of tombstones. It’s hard to count each row of tombstones at a glance! I walked straight, reached the end and turned right. At this moment, I felt extremely nervous, and my heartbeat sped up inexplicably. I felt like Lin Yan was looking at me in front of me, letting me know I'm a little nervous. I don't believe in any ghost stories, but the dream last night was really real.
I walked forward, and every time I came to a tombstone, I nodded towards them and said secretly in my heart, "I'm sorry, everyone, I hope I didn't wake you up. Forgive me for being here for the first time. I sincerely pray that you don't wake up." look at me."
I felt really scared. I walked forward and looked at the numbers on each tombstone. When I reached No. 33, I looked back and felt a chill behind me. Looking at the wall behind me, I just realized It had rained and I was soaked. Fortunately, the path under my feet was paved with gravel, otherwise I would have been full of mud.
I turned around and looked at tombstone No. 34. There was a line of words engraved on it, "The tomb of Lin Tianshi's beloved daughter Lin Yan." Suddenly I seemed to think of something and took two steps back. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat. I looked at the inscription on tombstone No. 33. The name on it, "The tomb of Lin Tianshi and Gong Lin?"
I was a little panicked. I originally wanted to see Lin Yan, but now it’s better and I can see everyone. But I am still relatively relieved. Lin Yan finally got back together with her parents. I just hope her parents can forgive her for the past. , the family can live in harmony in heaven.
I took a deep breath and walked to Lin Yan's tombstone. When I saw Lin Yan's name, I started to feel uncomfortable. I took out the tissue Su Xiaomo gave me from my pocket and wiped my nose. I squatted down. In front of Lin Yan's tombstone, I still felt sad.
I didn’t know what to say. The purpose of coming here was to see Lin Yan here with my own eyes. There was no other prayer. I sniffed, reached out and picked up the fallen leaves in front of Lin Yan’s tombstone and threw them away. He carefully rubbed off the soil under Lin Yan's tombstone with his hands. While rubbing it, he whispered, "Lin Yan, this is the first time here, and maybe the last time. I... I don't even know. Why do you want to come here to see you? Isn't this a big deal?"
I sighed, squatted in front of Lin Yan's tombstone, patted the dirt on my hands, then took out the cigarettes from my pocket, took out two and walked to the tombstone No. 33. I held the cigarette in my mouth and leaned against the tombstone with my hand. In the corner, "Uncle Lin, maybe you don't know me. If God really exists, I think you should be able to hear what I want to say!"
Hesitating, I still shook my head, "What kind of crazy thing am I doing? How boring is it to talk to myself?" I felt sour in my heart. There were many past events. I looked at Lin Yan's tombstone one by one. Although I didn't say a word, but in my heart, I told her everything that had happened.
I took a long puff of cigarette, then stood up and looked at Lin Yan's tombstone, "Okay, seeing you staying here makes me feel a little relieved. The past can't be saved. I, Liu Chen, still have There are a lot of things to do, but I won’t forget you. I really won’t!”
I said softly, and then walked backwards. Suddenly a gust of cool wind blew past me, and I couldn't help shivering. I quickly walked towards the door of the compound.
The old man had left without knowing why. I looked back at the compound and felt very cold. Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket, which startled me. I was very surprised when I looked at the phone number. Strange. I answered the phone and put it to my ear, and heard a breathless voice on the other end: "Brother Chen, Brother Hu seems to have had an accident. The car is not in the company, and the phone can't get through!"
"What? Can't be contacted? Okay! Wait for me, I'll rush back now!" When I heard that something happened to Brother Hu, I couldn't think about anything else. The most important thing now is to contact Brother Hu. What on earth is this guy doing? Went there, this was not like his usual style of doing things. I quickly found Brother Hu’s mobile phone number and called, but there was a prompt saying “The number you dialed cannot be reached temporarily.”
"Can't get through? It's because of the poor signal!" I complained and dialed Brother Hu on both sides, but the result was still thought-provoking! You need to be more careful!
