original love

Chen Yixiao looked sideways at the seat beside her. The plane had already departed for two hours, but that person was still sitting there stiffly as if isolated from the outside world.Thinking of what he said that day and the sound of painful crying in the study that lasted all afternoon, Chen Yixiao couldn't help but feel a little regretful, because when he thought of An Hua's confession, he couldn't bear to be cruel to Yi Xiao. After all, An Hua was gone, and This was the person he cared about the most during his lifetime.Yi Xiao did break his promise and married someone else at the beginning, but until he saw the man was devastated after hearing the news, Chen Yixiao knew that Yi Xiao was not as indifferent as he appeared before, on the contrary Instead, she didn't let go of this relationship. As long as she thought of this, Chen Yixiao couldn't hate him anymore.

That day Yi Xiao with red and swollen eyes came out of the room heavily, and asked in a hoarse voice that could no longer make a sound, "Can you tell me where An Hua is buried?" Chen Yixiao was silent for a while before answering, " I'm going abroad next week, if you want to go, hurry up and apply for a visa in the next few days."

Halfway through the flight, it was Chen Yixiao who said first: "This is the anniversary festival. Several family members on our side made an appointment to come together last year. When we arrive there, former colleagues from the medical team will come to pick us up, because the local It's not very safe yet, and the location of the cemetery is relatively remote, so it will be more convenient."

"Chen Anhua..." Yi Xiao finally asked the question after a long while, "What the hell is going on..." He still couldn't say the word death until now.

When Chen Yixiao asked to follow Yi Xiao, she was thinking about how to tell Yi Xiao so that this person who was already on the verge of collapse could accept a more sad fact. However, even if some things are difficult, sooner or later they have to let him know.

Chen Yixiao paused and said: "At that time, Anhua planned to provide support for three months, but later postponed to go to southeast Africa. I thought it was not very safe there, so I urged him to come back, but he said that there were too many refugees and medical staff. Limited, I insist on supporting for another period, saying that I will take good care of myself and promise to go back in three or four months at most..."

After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Chen Yixiao continued: "At that time, Anhua would report his family's safety every day, and even if he went to a place with poor communication, he would tell us in advance, but suddenly he contacted us in two days. When we didn’t get to him, we received a call from the person in charge when our family was in a state of anxiety, saying that Anhua’s group was going to a remote local tribe for medical support, but the whole group lost contact. Our family members hurried away In the past, news came from the rescue team a few days later that the wreckage of the medical team was found at the bottom of the cliff... The car the medical team was traveling on was unfortunately hit by stray bullets from the anti-government forces and fell down the cliff. Going down the valley, they were first discovered by the local aborigines, but it had been two days since they found it, there were no survivors, and they were...unclear, and they didn't know how to contact the outside world. According to the local aborigines custom...cremation gone."

Chen Yixiao tried to use the most obscure words to restore the situation at that time, because even for himself, it is difficult to accept until now, "This is also the reason why we buried An Hua abroad, because doctors from various countries in the medical team There were all of them, and at that time there were only... the ashes, and after seeking the consent of all the family members, they were buried together."

After quite a while, no one spoke between the two of them, and when Chen Yixiao turned his head to look at Yi Xiao again, he heard Yi Xiao ask again in a very soft voice: "How do you know? "

"Know what?" Chen Yixiao didn't understand what Yi Xiao meant.

"...How are you sure...Chen Anhua must be inside." Yi Xiao's nose flapped slightly, even his voice trembled.

Chen Yixiao turned around and took a deep breath, and said slowly, "I know what you are thinking, not only me, but all the family members could not accept this fact, but ashes cannot be identified by DNA, only the wreckage of the carriage The bloodstains in the car were confirmed, and the bloodstains of all the team members in the found car were confirmed to match, and the work documents that Anhua carried with him were also found... Yi Xiao, I know it is difficult for you to accept, my parents and I It was the same at that time, I always wondered if Anhua would suddenly come back one day, but...if Anhua is still there, he will definitely not worry us, no matter where he is, he will definitely contact us immediately."

From that moment until the plane landed, Chen Yixiao didn't hear Yi Xiao's voice from next to him, but when he turned his head, he saw Yi Xiao's dark shirt with large wet tears on the front .

……

After getting off the plane, I was finally taken to the reception desk after going through several rounds. This is a small hotel, but it is already the best accommodation I can find in the local area.As soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby, a man in his early thirties walked up to Chen Yixiao, shook hands warmly and said, "Brother Chen, long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a year so soon," Chen Yixiao shook her hand back, "It's hard work and you still have to receive him, but Zhong Cheng, why are you still here?"

"This side is too short of manpower, and I can't recruit people several times, so I will continue to support here," the man smiled and looked at Yi Xiao who was next to Chen Yixiao, "Who is this?"

"This is..." Chen Yixiao paused before introducing: "This is An Hua's friend, Yi Xiao," and then turned to Yi Xiao and said, "This is An Hua's former colleague here. It's called Zhong Cheng, I mentioned it to you before."

The man looked at Yi Xiao, and although he was a little puzzled, he immediately stretched out his hand and said politely, "Yi Xiao, hello."

……

As soon as the luggage was put back in the room, Yi Xiao knocked on Chen Yixiao's door, "When can we leave?"

Even knowing that Yi Xiao is eager, Chen Yixiao can only persuade: "The person in charge here will send us a car to take us there, but there are some family members from other countries who may arrive later, so it will be tomorrow."

"I can't wait..." After saying these words, Yi Xiao tightened his lips, trying not to make his voice too embarrassed, but after a pause, he still said firmly: "Tell me where I am, I can go there by myself."

"Yi Xiao, I know you are impatient, but this is not China, and it will be difficult for us to get there without the help of the locals. Wait until tomorrow..."

"I'll take you there!"

The two turned their heads at the same time, and saw Zhong Cheng, who was holding a fruit basket in his hand, standing no more than a few meters away at some point.

"I just wanted to send you some local fruits for a taste." Zhong Cheng walked closer and said, "I just received a notice that a group of family members missed their flight and are expected to arrive tomorrow night. I am afraid they will not be able to leave until the day after tomorrow. If you are in a hurry If so, I will take you there today." Zhong Cheng looked down at his watch, "If we leave now, we can make it back before dark."

……

The ambulance team had only one official car, and had to go to the airport to receive family members from different countries repeatedly. Zhong Cheng had no choice but to take Chen Yixiao and Yi Xiao to transfer to the bus to the cemetery.

After getting off the bus, there was still a distance, Zhong Cheng took the two of them on foot on this not-so-wide road, and as the road stretched forward, Zhong Cheng found that Yi Xiao beside him turned paler and paler. Although he and Brother Chen Anhua didn't talk much on the way, they would exchange a few words occasionally, while Yi Xiao was as oppressive and silent as the frozen air. Even if they met for the first time, Zhong Cheng could see from this silent face Unconcealable sadness.

This can't help but remind him of Chen Anhua, who is still unforgettable even though he has only known each other for a few months.

When he first came here more than a year ago, there were only [-] or so aiding doctors, and there were few Asians. He spotted Chen Anhua in the crowd at a glance.It was probably a coincidence, because his younger brother was also congenitally deaf and dumb, so he paid special attention to the person who always seemed slightly melancholy.Chen Anhua is very serious in his work, and always devotes himself wholeheartedly without any neglect, but most of the time he is often alone and has little contact with his colleagues.He had taken the initiative to tell Chen Anhua that he understood sign language and could ask him for help when needed, but that person just thanked him lightly and didn't really trouble him.Until one time, a child who was hit by shrapnel and suffered massive bleeding from an artery was brought in. After six hours of hard work, the two saved the little life. Watching the child who had recovered from danger was pushed out of the operating room, the exhausted two finally got together. They looked at each other with a smile, and then stretched out their right hands to each other in unison.

The two chatted a lot that night, mainly because he was talking about how he drank a lot at the time, and it was probably because no one talked about it for a long time, so he showed Chen Anhua a photo of his late wife, and talked about the past and present of the two of them. Unforgettable feelings.At that time, he remembered saying that if his wife hadn't left, he probably wouldn't have come here. Voluntary support is actually an excuse for healing.Then he pointed to the necklace with the ring on Chen Anhua's neck and asked, "You, you have a lover too, don't you miss him after coming out for so long?" He could never forget the look in Chen Anhua's eyes at that time, even after drinking a lot, he I still clearly remember that Chen Anhua looked far, far away at that time, and it was not until a while later that he said in sign language, "Yes, I have been thinking about him".

And when Zhong Cheng looked up at this handsome but sad man again, he suddenly had a guess, could that man be Yi Xiao?

This is a cemetery surrounded by broken stones and broken wood. The gloomy weather makes the place look even more desolate. Chen Yixiao, who was walking in the front, fell silent after entering the cemetery. He finally stopped in front of a tombstone with many names engraved on it, and then slowly squatted down and gently placed a bunch of flowers he just bought in front of him. It seemed that it took him a long time to calm himself down, and finally he said softly: "Anhua , I brought Yi Xiao to see you."

Yi Xiao has never dared to approach, until now he did not dare to raise his head to confirm the names on the tombstones in front of him, some things were too heart-wrenching to bear, which made him have the urge to escape here, and when he finally exhausted all his strength When He Courage raised his head, he suddenly saw Eason Chen's name on the third line.

Why do you have to do this...

When he was still expecting to meet Chen Anhua on a certain street corner, when he hated Chen Anhua for not finding him again, this person had been lying here for a year... not in the place where he grew up, not in the place where Chen Anhua had stayed Any familiar city, but a foreign country thousands of miles away and takes thirty hours by plane, was buried here with some unrelated people.

Limbs and brain have lost consciousness, Yi Xiao could not perceive any interference from the outside world, he began to stagger forward, and when he finally came to the front of the tombstone, he knelt down unknowingly, and then stretched out his hands Start digging the already solidified soil below.

Chen Yixiao looked at Yi Xiao in astonishment and said, "Yi Xiao... what are you doing?"

But at this time, Yi Xiao couldn't hear any sound, and continued to dig the ground with his bare hands with all his strength.

Chen Yixiao hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yi Xiao who was already like a wandering ghost, "Yi Xiao, are you crazy?! What are you doing?"

The soil was too hard, and fingers couldn't touch the deeper soil. Yi Xiao picked up a dead branch from the side and used his shovel to dig, and murmured: "I want to find Chen Anhua, I want to bring him go home."

This sentence stunned Zhong Cheng who was standing beside him. After looking at each other, he and Chen Yixiao hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Yi Xiao, if this is not possible, the other family members will not agree."

And when the two stepped forward to stop Yi Xiao, they were thrown back by him the moment they first came into contact with him. Yi Xiao kept saying, "I want to find Chen Anhua...I want to take him home... "

"Yi Xiao, stop!" Even if Chen Yixiao couldn't bear it, he couldn't allow Yi Xiao to continue messing around, "You are disturbing the peace of many people, and Anhua is not the only one here."

As he said that, Chen Yixiao quickly rushed over and grabbed Yi Xiao's arm to pull him up. Zhong Cheng immediately stepped forward to help when he saw it.

At this moment, Yi Xiao suddenly got up and pushed the two of them back with all his strength, and shouted hoarsely at the same time: "Get out of here! Didn't you hear?! I said I would take Chen Anhua home, I can't leave him here alone, don't any of you fucking stop me! I'm going to take him away now! Ask other people how much they want, and I'll give them even if they lose their fortune. I just want to bring Chen Anhua home... "

Before he finished speaking, a slap was slapped on Yi Xiao's face, and Chen Yixiao gasped and roared in grief: "Do you think you are the only one suffering? Everyone lying here may be someone else's husband or son , brother, lover... Who do you think you are? Just because you have money, you want to take away other people's ashes. Have you ever thought about why these family members agree to bury their relatives here? Who doesn't want to bury their relatives by their side? Do you only think about yourself in this world?!"

After a long time, looking at Yi Xiao who was completely frozen in place, Chen Yixiao stepped forward with tears in her eyes and whispered to persuade: "Yi Xiao, just for An Hua, don't do this again, An Hua will not want to see To you."

Yi Xiao stopped there like a paper figure, time stopped at this moment, only crows screamed in the air, after a while, he suddenly murmured: "He has no home since he was a child, how can I put him Left here alone... buried with a bunch of strangers..."

Sadness could no longer be suppressed, it hit like a mountain, tears rushed out from his eyes, Yi Xiao inserted his blood-soaked hands deeply into his hair, then fell to his knees on the ground, no longer forced to suppress, The pain accumulated to the limit during this period of time cried out: "Chen Anhua—"

The mournful cries shook the entire cemetery.

……

Standing more than ten meters away, Chen Yixiao looked at Yi Xiao who was still sitting in front of the tombstone in the distance, then turned to Zhong Cheng and said, "Let him be quiet for a while."

Zhong Cheng looked at the past, and nodded without saying anything. He understands the pain of losing a lover better than anyone else, so he understands. At the same time, he can't help but think in his heart, saying that forgetting is the best gift for the dead, but In fact, there are a few people who can do it.

Yi Xiao has been sitting in front of the tombstone looking at the name. Although he didn't cry anymore, the tears never stopped. He gently stroked the letters with his blood-stained fingers, as if caressing Anhua's name. same face.

"Anhua, tell me what I thought before, how could I propose at the cemetery, it really is too unlucky... I saw the letter you wrote to me, I know it's late, but please don't get mad at me... ...Is this good, I'll sing a song for you, and you won't be angry after hearing it."

The tears on his face had never dried up, Yi Xiao took out the ring from his pocket, and began to chant hoarsely, tremblingly,

"I used to

helpless like duckweed

对 爱情 莫名 的 恐惧

但是 天 让 我 了 你

……

I wholeheartedly

waiting for you to say yes

也许 是 我 太 心急

竟然 没 发现 你 眼 的 犹豫

……

请 你 让 我 你 去

让 我 随 你 去

我 愿 陪 在 你 的 为 挡风 挡风

……

I really love you……"

Uncontrollable sadness rolled down the tears, and when the song with no pitch was finally finished intermittently, Yi Xiao raised the ring and said to the name on the tombstone: "I actually learned this song a long time ago." , I originally planned to sing it to you on the day I moved... You said that you will marry me when you learn it. A man's words must not count. I will treat your ring as if you have already worn it, and mine..."

Finally, he slowly put the ring on his ring finger, "I'll put it on for you."
