On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, both Zhang Yong and Aunt Liu came back. But Lan Feiyang had already packed up his travels and prepared to go back to his hometown.
Guo Anni came to his room and hugged him reluctantly: "Be careful on the road. Call me when you get home."
Lan Feiyang, who was wearing a dark blue down jacket, nodded: "I understand. I'll be back on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, very soon."
"If you're in a hurry, it doesn't matter if you're a day or two late." Guo Anni used her fingers to help him smooth his hair in front of his forehead, "Go, don't be late and delay the train."
Zhang Yong sent Lan Feiyang to the train station. Lan Feiyang first took the "Harmony" train, then changed to a bus, and finally took the last minibus into the mountains. He didn't arrive at Lan's house in the mountainous area of Chiang Ku County until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Pingzhen.
This is why Guo Anni asked Secretary Xu to book a train ticket for him a few years ago. Otherwise, if he took the ordinary express train, he would have to get to Chiang Khot County at night, and then wait until dawn before taking the shuttle bus home. This train ride
Although it is more expensive, it is several times faster.
Because it was very windy and cold in the mountains, after receiving the call, my cousin Lan Qing wore a big cotton-padded jacket and waited in the cold wind to pick him up on the side of the new highway. Under the dim light, she gave him a friendly punch as soon as they met: "Good boy.
, you came so quickly, I thought you might not even make it to lunch tomorrow."
"Ouch." Lan Feiyang grinned exaggeratedly, "Cousin, I just taught you three punches, and you use them to hit me when we meet. Isn't this justified?"
"Tch! Don't pretend to be me." Lan Qing took his bag and patted him on the shoulder. "If it hurts like this, what kind of bodyguard are you going to do for the beautiful CEO? Hey, this bag
What's in it that's so heavy?"
"A gift for everyone. But not for you!"
"Tch! I'm your cousin, so I still care about your cousin's gift?"
The two brothers bickered and walked through the streets until they came to a three-story house decorated with lights. This was the home of the aunt who was planning to marry her daughter tomorrow.
Upon hearing Lan Feiyang's arrival, the middle-aged aunt and uncle Lan Shanlin, who had come to have a wedding banquet, immediately came out of the room to greet them.
"Aunt, uncle." Lan Feiyang called out respectfully as soon as he saw her, and bent his legs to kneel down: "I wish you a happy New Year!"
"Hey, there's no need to bow, there's no need to bow." My aunt and uncle stretched out their hands to stop him at the same time. My aunt even pulled him and looked him up and down: "Well, he's tall and fair, and he looks very talented. He looks like your mother!"
"Auntie." Seeing the mention of his mother, Lan Feiyang was confused, "Where is my mother from?"
"Where? Jiangnan? I don't know." My aunt shook her head, "You can ask your uncle later. Hey, have you had dinner? Are you hungry? Your uncle is helping you cook noodles in the kitchen."
"I'm not hungry. I ate at the foot of the mountain before going to CMB."
"How about that? The braised pork noodles with eggs will be ready soon. Come and take off the backpack and give it to me." My aunt said enthusiastically while taking off the travel bag from his back.
After finishing the noodles and washing up, Lan Feiyang felt sleepy, so he went to his cousin's room and fell asleep. He was busy organizing weddings the next day, and Lan Feiyang couldn't ask his uncle about his mother.
Because my cousin-in-law was also here, I was busy making fun of the bridal chamber again at night. It was almost midnight.
During this period, several elementary school and junior high school classmates also asked about him working as a personal butler and bodyguard for the president of a large group in Bohai, but he had to simply avoid the important point and talk about it lightly.
A group of eighteen and nineteen-year-old mountain youths were filled with envy. They couldn't help but sigh: How come there is such a big gap between people?
But that night, Lan Feiyang couldn't sleep well, always feeling empty around him. He missed Guo Anni, her alluring face, and her delicate body like soft jade.
At such a young age, he could so easily have the happiness that no one else could ask for in his lifetime. He felt so lucky! However, she still didn't love him after all, and he would have to work hard for a long time.
Later, he practiced boxing crazily in the mountains and forests and fought with several ferocious beasts. He understood that he had entered a dream.
On the third day, cousin Lan Qing was going back to Bohai's hotel. Uncle Lan Shanlin was also going back with his eldest cousin. He asked Lan Feiyang to go back with him to see his aunt and his little cousin who was not feeling well.
But Lan Feiyang wanted to go visit the old house in the mountains, see the graves of his father and parents-in-law, and burn some paper money for them. Because he would not have time to come back during the Qingming Festival, which is half July.
The aunt asked her uncle to go with Lan Feiyang and stay one night before leaving tomorrow. Lan Shanlin had no choice but to nod.
As Lan Feiyang walked towards the old house in the mountains, he asked his uncle, where is my mother's grave? Why haven't I seen it yet?
Lan Shanlin sighed and said: "Because your mother died of a hemorrhage, she could not be buried in the ancestral grave, so she was buried on a slope not far from the village. As a result, heavy rains one year caused a landslide, and that area was washed away. You
Not even a single bone is left of my mother, so there is no grave."
"Not even a single bone left?" Lan Feiyang was shocked and felt sad.
Poor mother, you were abducted by human traffickers, and your life must have been very painful, so much so that you died shortly after giving birth to me. But in the end, you didn’t even have a bone or a grave to hang your head on!
Even if I find my grandma’s house in the future, how will I explain it to them?!
"There is nothing we can do about it." Lan Shanlin shook his head helplessly, "Landslides are a natural disaster. The mudslides caused that year destroyed several villages below. We are lucky that they did not rush towards our village.
"
Lan Feiyang thought about it and changed the topic: "Then where is my mother from?"
"I don't know. She seems to be from the same hometown as your second aunt. She seems to be from the Jiangnan area. But I really don't know where exactly."
"Second Aunt?" Lan Feiyang turned his head and asked inexplicably while walking through the familiar vast mountain forest that often appeared in his dreams, "When did I have a Second Aunt again?"
He remembered that he seemed to have a second uncle, but he was knocked off a cliff and died early.
Lan Shan Lin Yi Zhi: "He was also trafficked by human traffickers, but he was rescued by the anti-trafficking team not long after."
"What's the second aunt's name? Where is she now?" Lan Feiyang asked carefully.
"Her name is Xiao... what is Xiao?" Lan Shanlin tapped his head with his fingers, "It's been eighteen years, and I really can't remember it. It's even less likely that I know where she is now."
On the night of his cousin's wedding, Lan Qing's cousin suddenly remembered the rich beauty who came to inquire about his uncle and aunt last time, and couldn't help but ask his wife: "Did you call the rich woman who came last time and ask if your uncle and aunt are back?"
?”
His wife slapped her head and said, "Oh, I forgot. It's almost midnight now. I'll call you tomorrow."
