Deer in deep forest

Chapter 68 In the vast sea of ​​people, she wanted to hide, but no one could find her.

two years later.Nanyao Town.

A golden retriever stared at the little dragonfly parked on the tip of the leaf, and walked over cautiously with a little curiosity, its ears pricked up sensitively, and its tail wagged up and down behind it.

"Fifty..." Xi Guang called out while standing on the path.

The golden retriever's interest in small insects was swept away in an instant, and he turned back and ran towards his master, but his steps were unsteady.Rushed in front of Xiguang, almost fell, made two mournful "humphs" and acted like a spoiled child.

"I told you to run slowly, and I don't know what to rush for." Xi Guang comforted it.

Tang Su also made more than fifty jokes, saying that Xi Guang picked up a little cripple.

After listening to it, it was sad for a long time that day, and it didn't eat dinner.Xiguang had no choice but to deep-fry short ribs for it and mix it with rice grains to coax it to eat it.With this incident, even Tang Su didn't dare to say that Fifty was a lame anymore.

Dogs have a lot of self-esteem.Perhaps because of being abandoned, I was afraid that Xi Guang would not want it.

"Let's go, fifty, let's go home."

The golden retriever walked ahead and opened the way, and Xi Guang followed behind holding the leash.I met several children along the way, and they all greeted Xiguang: "Hello, Mr. Tang..."

Xiguang has been teaching for more than a year, and she has memorized the voices of some local students in Nanyao, and she can call out their names accordingly, and respond one by one.

Two years ago, she returned to Nanyao alone with fifty, Tang Su seriously asked her what she planned to do in the future.

She was at a loss about the future and couldn't answer.In his early twenties, he has no hopes and expectations for life.Tang Su is a left-leaning radical. He couldn't see the child being so depressed, so he waved his hand, "Just take my class and go to school to teach! Your Chinese is not bad, right? Just teach Chinese."

Xiguang thought it was just a joke at first.

But the old lady proved with her own strength that what she said was true.

In Nanyao's local elementary school, the teaching staff was originally weak, and few outside teachers came in.Tang Su and ten or so principals are old friends. She said that Xiguang is her apprentice, and he is very happy to go to the school to teach.

It's just that the eyes that cherish light can't see it is a problem.But Tang Su said again, you go to teach the lower grades and teach ten pinyin and five Chinese characters every day, can't you manage this?If you can't do this, go to the fields and work.

Xiguang shivered, not daring to resist.

So I bit the bullet and walked into the school, stepped onto the podium, and stayed until now.

As for the appellation, I don't know how it came about.Neighbors always called Tang Su "Mr. Tang", but when they came to Xiguang, they called him "Mr. Tang" as a matter of course.Gradually, even the children in the class changed their mouths. When they saw her from a distance, they opened their mouths to say "Hello, Mr. Tang".

Opening the courtyard door, Tang Su was sitting under the tree chatting with Aunt Qin, only to hear the melon seeds crackling.The house next door might be smoking bacon, and when the wind blows, the smell is all over here. Fifty stretched his neck and sniffed the air, making everyone laugh.

Seeing that Xi Guang came back, Tang Su went into the room and took an envelope, and said, "It was sent from City A, may I open it for you?"

Xi Guang was curious, nodded and said, "Look."

"It seems to be an invitation..." Tang Su said, untied the orange-red ribbon on the long card, and added after reading the content: "It's still a wedding invitation."

Xi Guang was full of astonishment, "Whose wedding?"

Tang Su raised his presbyopic glasses, borrowed the light, and said with concentration: "It says on it that the bride's name is Wen Yuyun."

"Yu Yun?" Xi Guang asked repeatedly, unable to recover for a long time.Asked the groom's name again, a stranger she had never heard of.

It's hard for Xi Guang to believe that in the two years after Song Yusheng's death, Wen Yuyun was able to find someone he liked to fall in love with, and then got to the point of getting married.Even Xiguang, a bystander, once felt that the girl who was liked by Song Yusheng might not be easy to find someone in the future.

It's not that Xi Guang doesn't believe in love, she just feels faintly that this doesn't look like Wen Yuyun's love.

"When is the wedding?" Xi Guang asked.

"This month is the 22nd of the lunar calendar." Tang Su said.

Two days before the wedding, Xi Guang took fifty and rushed to City A.

In the past two years, she has almost cut off contact with her former friends.Now it took a lot of effort to get in touch with Wen Yuyun again, and Wen Yuyun scolded Xi Guang on the phone.Xi Guang was thankful that she would still yell at her like this, and speak harsh words mercilessly.

Wen Yuyun went to the bus station to pick up Xiguang, and looked at the blind girl in front of him, feeling extremely sad.

Xi Guang asked curiously, "Yu Yun, is your hair still white?"

Wen Yuyun suddenly choked up, making it difficult to speak.Back then, before Xiguang followed Luo Nanzhou to City H, he sent her an email to report that she was safe, but did not say anything about her blindness.After that, there was no news. She sent the wedding invitation to Nanyao, but she just took a fluke mentality. She didn't expect that Xi Guang would really receive it and rushed over.

"Xi Guang, I feel like a century has passed..."

The first place Wen Yuyun took Xiguang to was Ferry No. 7.

This bar is an area that Wen Yuyun dare not set foot in for two years.Without Song Yusheng and Gu Yanshu by her side, even Xiguang was thousands of miles away from her.She often drives past the intersection, and when she sees the signboard from a distance, her heart will be aroused.She has experienced the feeling of things being different than people, and she is afraid of it.

Now that her old friend is reunited, she wants to come back here to get drunk again.

Fifty followed Xiguang every step of the way. The owner of the bar originally said that pets were not allowed in, but seeing Wen Yuyun's face, he didn't dare to stop him.

Wen Yuyun tugged at Fifty's ears, and said to it, "Little guy, you are so good that you protect the Lord like this. You must continue to maintain this spirit in the future, and you must always protect her like this."

Xi Guang smiled: "What are you talking about to my golden retriever? Don't try to abduct it."

"No way, this guy can't be lured away with a big bone. Fifty, don't you think so?" Wen Yuyun helped him smooth his hair, drank two bottles, his eyes were still clear, "It makes me want to raise one ..."

Xi Guang hesitated to ask about the groom-to-be, she had the mentality of marrying a daughter, and was worried about Wen Yuyun's decision.

Wen Yuyun, on the other hand, was indifferent to her. He threw his head back on the sofa and said heartlessly, "His surname is Tan, and he is ten years older than me. To be precise, he seems to be... 12 years older. My mother chooses I went to meet someone with average appearance, average height, and average character, but his family background is unusual. I married him, and I can be considered as a contribution to the Wen family. My mother is as happy as trumpet flowers every day, playing mahjong When I was lucky, my luck was good, my mother's merits are immeasurable..."

Xi Guang said: "Since you don't like the other party, why did you agree to this wedding?"

Wen Yuyun looked at Xi Guang with envy in his eyes.This girl, it seems that no matter how much she has been hurt, no matter how many hardships she has experienced, she still retains too many beautiful and warm things in her heart. She still stubbornly and naively believes that the prerequisite for marriage must be love.

But there are so many fake marriages in the world, there are so many couples who seem to be in harmony with each other, so what's the point of adding yourself.

Anyway, there is no way to get the person you really like.

When Wen Yuyun finally got drunk, the Wen family had already turned upside down.

The old commander of the Wen family was sent to the operating room for emergency treatment. It is not known whether he is alive or dead.Xiguang rushed to the hospital with Wen Yuyun, and on the way, he heard that Grandpa Wen was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year, and he has been in the hospital for treatment all year.

Xiguang suddenly understood another reason why Wen Yuyun agreed to get married so quickly, she wanted the old man to feel at ease.

It's a pity that there are too many things in the world that people can't control, but Wen Yuyun couldn't see Grandpa Wen's last look.The bed rolled out in the rescue room was already covered with a layer of white cloth.

Wen's family has many relatives, blocking the corridor, and Xi Guang, an outsider, was squeezed aside.She couldn't see anything, only heard Wen Yuyun's hoarse and suppressed cries, echoing in the corridor of the hospital, it was thrilling.

Xi Guang wanted to go forward to comfort Wen Yuyun, but he took a step, but was pushed by someone with an elbow, staggered back a few steps, still couldn't stand firmly, bumped into the half-hidden door of a nearby ward, and fell go in.

I don't know if there is anyone inside, it is so quiet that there is no sound, like another completely different world.

A light floral fragrance wafted from the tip of the nose, a familiar smell, Xi Guang couldn't remember smelling it in anyone's house before.Suddenly lost in thought, forgetting to get up from the ground.

The golden retriever anxiously bit the corner of her clothes and lifted it up, crying out very sadly.Xi Guang hurriedly stroked his head and back, and said aloud: "I'm fine, I'm fine, it doesn't matter, I just accidentally fell down, fifty don't worry..."

Under the soft and clean quilt of the hospital bed, a thin and pale hand trembled imperceptibly.

Xiguang didn't know it at all, and led the golden retriever into the ward, closing the door carefully.

What Xiguang was worried about happened, and Wen Yuyun disappeared.

Because of Grandpa Wen's death, the wedding was postponed for a while.But the morning after the funeral, she was missing, and no one knew where she had gone.

The night before, Xiguang was still guarding in front of the mourning hall with her, and she had been resting on Xiguang's shoulder with her eyes closed, the whole person fell silent, as quiet as a mute who can't speak.

There was a kind of ashes that penetrated deep into her bone marrow.If Xi Guang could see it, she would definitely be frightened by her desolate expression. The lights in the hall illuminated her, she looked like a dead wood, as if her life had come to an end.The past few years have been short, she has lost too many things and too many people, and now she is disheartened.

Mother Wen sent a large number of people to look for her, but to no avail.

In the vast crowd, she wanted to hide, but no one could find her.

Before Xi Guang returned to Nanyao, she delayed for a day and went to the cemetery.

The news about Yu Sui falling to his death after being shot was widely reported in the news back then. Because it involved the Wen family, it was gradually suppressed and the news was blocked.Xi Guang didn't even know where Yu Sui was buried until Wen Yuyun told her the address a few days ago, which was a remote place not far from Jiuqiong Mountain.

Xi Guang followed the gatekeepers to find Yu Sui's tombstone.

That turbulent past has come to an end, Yu Sui once said, cherish the light, I know, you won't forgive me.

But she guessed wrong.

Time scours the traces in the memory and polishes the sharp edges and corners of the past. Xi Guang is now facing the cold and silent monument, his heart is empty, and he can't arouse even a trace of hatred.

"Ah Sui, in the past two years, I have often dreamed about things that happened before. When I woke up with my eyes open, my vision was completely dark. I don't know if I am still in the dream, and if you are still by my side. .It always takes me a long time to accept the reality in front of me..."

"No matter what kind of emotion I have, I hope you will appear in front of me or not, you are gone. Yuyun has also left, I don't know when she will come back, maybe she will never come back, no one knows where she is After Grandpa Wen died, she no longer cared about the Wen family. Yusheng's life and death are a mystery, almost everyone is sure that he died in the fire, only a few of us are still waiting with a glimmer of hope. Xie Feinian heard He went to a county town in another province to prepare for politics. He spent a few years outside and sat down from the grassroots. I don’t know if he is joking or serious. But Yanshu... in France, the return date is uncertain. It seems that he was just in a In an instant, everything changed..."

So many unexpected separations, when did it start?

She didn't come back to her senses, they were already covered in bruises, and they were scattered all over the world.

On the car back to Nanyao, the road was bumpy.Xi Guang took out her mobile phone, opened a recording that Wen Yuyun had left for her, and plugged in the earphones.

Wen Yuyun told her that night, no matter what, she must wait until she was on the way back to Nanyao before listening.Xi Guang didn't know why at the time, but nodded in agreement.

A familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Xi Guang, by the time you heard this passage, I had already left City A without saying goodbye. It was getting dark outside, and when it dawned, I was about to leave. I don't know where I'm going, but I would like to thank you Guaranteed, I will be safe. Asheng said that living is a matter of courage, and he prayed for my life to be smooth, happy and worry-free. I’m afraid I won’t be able to be happy and worry-free, but I can probably continue to live on and find way to survive..."

There was a long pause in the middle, Wen Yuyun didn't make a sound, Xi Guang seemed to be waiting patiently face to face.

"...There is one more thing, I finally decided to tell you. Two years ago, Yanshu didn't go abroad. He got into a car accident and is still in a coma..."

Xi Guang was shocked suddenly, the hand holding the recording pen trembled slightly, and the voice in his ears continued.

"In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Gu family released all fake news. Xi Guang, I don't know if it's too cruel to tell you this. After all, no one knows when he will wake up, and whether he can still wake up ..."

Xi Guang subconsciously covered her mouth and couldn't help crying bitterly.

Fifty, who was hiding in the woven bag, poked his head out secretly, looked at the grief-stricken master helplessly, curled up with his tail in his arms, and also became sad.

The child in the car seat in front clapped his hands and shouted excitedly: "It's snowing, it's snowing!"

The heavy snow came quietly.Xiguang got out of the car, put on her hat, and walked home with Shifu in a daze.The face is full of fine and cold touches, it hurts a little from the cold, and even the breath is chilly.The blind stick in her hand hit the ground, and she stumbled. At the entrance of the familiar street, she almost made two mistakes.

After finally arriving at her own courtyard and entering the house, Tang Su had gone to some chess match, there was no movement at all, only the sound of wind blowing snowflakes.

Xiguang was about to go back to her room to get a big blanket to dry Shishi, but she tripped over something and fell forward.

Someone supported her in the dark, but the strength was not strong enough. Somehow, she failed to hold her steady and gave her a foothold.The two fell to the ground together like an arhat.

Xi Guang didn't dare to move.

After a delay of two seconds, I wanted to stand up on the ground and borrow some strength.But he touched the cold arm of the man underneath. It was winter, and his body was only covered with thin clothing, as if frost had condensed on it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xi Guang apologized to him slowly, and finally stood firm with the door frame.

The man said nothing and remained silent.

The cold wind from outside poured in from the door, and one or two crimson crystal snowflakes fell on the nostrils and lips, slightly itchy.Xi Guang grabbed the corner of his clothes, his bony joints tensed up, and he opened his mouth, as if feeling a sense, and asked with great difficulty: "Is it... Yanshu?"

The embrace that is too familiar, the person who has hugged him many times in dreams, she is as familiar with him as the lines of her own palm.

If it was a meeting, even if she couldn't see him, how could she not recognize him?
Xi Guang felt sad in his heart, and blinked his eyes blankly, as if he had fallen into a chaotic dream.Until I heard a choked voice, "Well, it's me."
