Zi Feiyu

Ye Qiao sat on the window sill of the room and looked at the night sky. There were dense stars, and there were Kongming lanterns floating from nowhere. It was an oil painting of a night scene, which was bright in the dark.When Xi and Si went back, he told Si to ride the bicycle away.The kitten was reluctant, he said: "Bicycles are meant to be owned, and we have occupied them for too long."

Si looked bewildered, since she picked it up anyway, it’s okay not to return it.Xi was very happy, and Laifuyu no longer needed to walk.Kitten sighed.Ye Qiao laughed.

Suddenly, a white envelope floated in the night sky, fluttering in front of the window of Gu Chen's room, hesitant to move forward, Ye Qiao asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The envelope was startled and flew towards the roof.Jin Lei on the roof didn't like the envelope a long time ago, so he talked about it when he had something to say, flying around and dazzled his eyes.He raised his hand, took off the bamboo hat, threw the envelope, and the bamboo hat flew back, took it in his hand, put it on his head, "Idiot."

The envelope fell to the ground, trembling, and flew up again, murmuring: "I... I'm looking for... Gu Chen."

"Gu Chen is not here," Ye Qiao said.

"Not here?" The envelope suddenly became courageous, and it turned into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl floating in the air.The girl wore a high ponytail and a school uniform from the 80s—white shirt and blue skirt. She took out an envelope that was the same as her original form from her skirt pocket, "This is for you. You give it to Gu Chen for me. Send the letter, He knows."

"Send a letter?" Ye Qiao took the letter in his hand and turned it over and over again. There was no word on the envelope, "Where to send it?"

The girl shook her head: "I don't know. You ask it."

At this moment, the kitten suddenly jumped up and lay beside Ye Qiao's legs: "I want to see it too."

Ye Qiao patted the kitten, and the girl floating in the air was startled when the kitten appeared, drifting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

Ye Qiao said, "Look, I was scared away by you."

The kitten stretched out its little paw and patted Ye Qiao's leg: "Don't worry about cowards, read the letter."

"This letter is for Gu Chen, we can't read it."

"Ah, that guy is not here, you watch for him, I won't tell him."

"No."

"The coward said you can ask it." Little Claw patted the envelope, "Can you ask it?"

The corner of the envelope was suddenly rolled inward. Ye Qiao looked at the kitten and then at the letter: "What do you want to say?"

The corners of the envelope were getting bigger and bigger, Ye Qiao let go, the envelope was rolled into a cylindrical shape, stopped in the air, and flew into the room in an instant.Ye Qiao and the kitten turned around at the same time to look at the cylindrical envelope in mid-air in the room.The envelope opened, and a letter without a word floated out.

Instantly, 35 years ago.

Xiaoyun and Xiaowu lived in the same yard since they were young. They played together, went to school together, beat kerosene together as companions, and liked each other at the same time.It can be described as a childhood sweetheart, and the two love each other.

However, Xiaoyun's family is about to move.

The courtyard where I live now has three small rooms.There are two rooms in Xiaowu's house, grandpa and Xiaowu live in one, and parents live in one.Opposite her parents is Xiaoyun's family of four, two boys and two girls. Xiaoyun sleeps with her mother, and her younger brother sleeps with her father, with a curtain drawn in between.Opposite the room of Grandpa and Xiaowu is the gate, and between the gate and the room is a large patio.There is no kitchen in the yard, all cooking is done under the eaves.There is no toilet, and I can't help but run to the public toilet far away.But there are many stories in the patio, especially in summer.The two families often chatted and ate one after another. After eating, they set up reclining chairs under the patio, turned off the kerosene lamp, watched the starry sky, and listened to stories told by Grandpa Xiaowu.

One day, Xiaoyun and Xiaowu went to the shop east of the town to collect kerosene together.When we went, it was already dark.They are not going to listen to grandpa's story today. Xiaoyun has something to tell Xiaowu. Xiaowu knows that Xiaoyun's family is going to move, so she is a little bit sad.The two walked slowly, and the kerosene lamps of various houses flickered on both sides of the road.Grandpa Xiaowu once told a story about the Milky Way, the immortals in the sky, and love.The two thought of the story at the same time, and somehow laughed side by side.

Xiaoyun looked up at the starry sky and sighed: "It would be great if I were like them."

Xiao Wu lowered his eyes: "That's not good. We only see each other once a year, separated by a vast galaxy. That's not good."

Xiaoyun smiled, Xiaowu scratched his head, and walked across the vast galaxy in the sky and on the ground.

After pumping out the kerosene, Xiao Wu held the lit kerosene lamp in one hand, and carefully touched Xiao Yun's hand beside him with the other.Xiaoyun was sweating in one hand and an unlit kerosene lamp in the other.Two people, did not go home immediately.

Under the big tree with no one around, Xiao Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage: "Xiao Yun, I like you."

Xiaoyun's face instantly turned red to the base of her neck.

Xiao Wu said again: "I...you know, I'm not good at talking about this, but I don't want you to leave, I don't want to be separated from you by the Milky Way, even if it's the spark of a kerosene lamp. I..."

Xiaoyun lowered her head and wiped the sweat from her palms on her clothes.Accidentally came across the letter in the pocket of the skirt, it was a love letter to be written to Xiao Wu.Very popular in class.Boys and girls are the same, fourteen or fifteen years old, first love, when you meet someone you like, you want to write a letter to tell him.Xiaoyun and Xiaowu like each other, and the two have never said they like each other directly, but he knows it and she knows it too.

But I like it, and I have confessed it all, but I am at a loss.Xiao Wu lowered his head and looked at the flickering kerosene lamp wick, his heart was the same, the torment of waiting was hot and burning continuously.

Xiaoyun put her hand in her pocket, touched the letter, and said in a low voice: "I... I also... I want to write you a letter... Many people in the class are writing it, but... I will write it to you... "

Too excited and excited, all the words stuck in the throat, unable to speak out, and unable to swallow.uncomfortable.

Xiaoyun wrinkled her face and blamed herself.

Xiao Wu also felt uncomfortable, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he thought that Xiao Yun was going to write a letter to himself.It's a love letter. The letter that many people in the class are writing is a love letter.It doesn't matter, if you can't say it, you can write a letter.Maybe it was because of waiting for a long time, and he spoke again with a hoarse voice: "Yes. I am waiting for your letter."

The next day, Xiao Yun's mind was full of Xiao Wu.In fact, since the confession, Xiao Wu has filled her mind and heart.She didn't know what the teacher was talking about, what the classmates were laughing at, and wanted to tell her tablemate about her joy, but she was too embarrassed to speak.She was lying on the table looking at the letter paper, her face sometimes smiled, sometimes sad, sometimes red, and sometimes wanted to slap herself.She felt that she was so useless, she had already been confessed, and she still wrote some letters, but there were some things, even if she spoke, she couldn't express her feelings.She wanted to tell Xiao Wu that if she hated the relationship for a long time, it would be day and night.

But in the end, I still didn't write a word.

Xiao Wu's situation is similar.On this day, the two did not meet at school.Xiaoyun is shy in love, and Xiaowu avoids it on purpose.Xiaoyun said that she would write to him, and he was waiting for Xiaoyun's love letter.In fact, he also hates that if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night.

After school, the two of them headed back home.Xiaoyun's parents were packing up their things, and when they saw Xiaoyun coming home, they were stupefied.When Xiao Wu came in, Xiao Yun's mother gritted her teeth.Because in the afternoon, a woman in the unit told her that her daughter had a tryst with a man last night, and it seemed that she was the young man in their yard.She listened and was very angry.Although the social atmosphere is much more open than before, she still can't bear others to gossip about their family, especially the young girls who don't know how to behave and tryst with men like others, which really ruins the family tradition.

At dinner, Xiao Wu's parents cooked a large table of dishes for Xiao Yun's family.Xiaoyun's parents were not happy in their hearts, they didn't eat happily, and their words were thorny, and every sentence pierced their hearts.Xiao Wu's parents were baffled, okay, what kind of nerves did this couple have?

Xiaoyun's mother made it clear: "Your son seduced my daughter. You have no shame."

Xiaoyun and Xiaowu were stunned at the same time. They really love each other, and it's not that one seduces the other.

Xiao Wu's father became angry: "Shameless? What is shameless. It's shameless to eat other people's food like you and point their noses."

Xiaoyun's father slapped the table angrily, and several pairs of bowls and chopsticks fell to the ground with a crisp sound.He got up and stopped in front of his wife with a hideous face.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Wu's mother grabbed her husband's hand and asked him to leave.

Grandpa Xiao Wu stood up and advised, "Sit down and talk about it. Why are you so stiff? We are all neighbors, so why bother?"

Xiaoyun's father snorted: "Why, why bother. You think I think so. Do you know what everyone says about us when we go out of this door?" Xiao Wu and Xiao Yun, who were staring at each other, shouted, "Look at what you are doing!" good thing."

Xiaoyun's tears flowed down instantly, misty and uneasy.Xiao Wu explained: "I didn't seduce Xiao Yun. I like Xiao Yun. We really love each other." The six-year-old brother next to Xiao Yun burst into tears.

The five elders looked at the three cubs at the same time.Xiaoyun's father sneered: "Love. You know nothing about love at your age."

When Xiao Wu's father heard his son's words, his eyes widened, he approached his son, raised his hand without asking why, and it was a heavy slap in the face.Xiao Wu tilted his head, covered his red face from the beating, and stared at his father with puffy eyes.Xiaoyun trembled in fright, turned to look at Xiaowu, and stretched out her hand to care.Seeing this, Xiaoyun's mother grabbed Xiaoyun's hand and said, "Damn girl, go back to me."

Xiaoyun was dragged and dragged back to the room, and then dragged and dragged away overnight.Before saying goodbye to Xiao Wu, before asking Xiao Wu if his face hurts, she was sobbing and listening to her parents scolding her while waiting for dawn and Xiao Wu at school.She wanted to tell Xiao Wu that even if her parents disagreed, she would still be with him.And Xiao Wu was locked in the room.The father scolded outside, the mother scolded outside, and the grandfather sighed outside. I have been neighbors for more than ten years, and I have done this, what a crime.

Xiao Wu sat at the table and looked at the kerosene lamp.The round, fat glass lampshade was smudged into pitch black.Father's unsavory words continued, mother's questioning and concern continued, grandpa's sighs continued, the pain on his face continued, and his heart, it turned out to be so painful.He closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.He never thought that liking someone would be like this, he never thought that his parents would be like this, he never thought... he would be so cowardly.He opened his eyes, picked up the kerosene lamp, took off the lampshade, lay on the bed, and fell asleep with the kerosene lamp...embracing each other.

The next day, Xiaoyun came to school early, but she didn't wait for Xiaowu.The students in the school are spreading one thing, but she doesn't believe it.But Xiao Wu didn't wait for the third day, neither did the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...

Xiaoyun was scared, afraid that the rumor was true, it was true, she knew it was true, but her letter hadn't been sent yet, she hadn't told Xiaowu that she liked him too, she hadn't said anything, why did she just Let's go, wait for me, okay, wait for me.

In the vast galaxy, Xiaoyun is holding a kerosene lamp alone, walking on the road alone, one is pumping kerosene, one is under a big tree, and the other is reading a letter without a word. The wind blows gently, and her high ponytail It's flying, the blue skirt is flying, people are flying, but it's so cold, alone... so cold.Take off the glass lampshade of the kerosene lamp, pour it into the Milky Way, the curling smoke is boiling, holding the letter, waiting for me.

Ye Qiao closed her eyes. Thirty-five years ago, it turned into a kerosene lamp whose lampshade was blackened and stopped in mid-air.

The kitten crawled into Ye Qiao's arms and meowed a few times.Ye Qiao opened her eyes and sighed softly.Stretching out his right hand, the kerosene lamp slowly flew towards him, with the handle hanging on his slender fingers.Turning around again, the Kongming Lantern has drifted away, and densely packed stars are still twinkling.He said, "Come out."

The girl suddenly appeared. I don't know if she saw herself 35 years ago, but when she saw the kerosene lamp in Ye Qiao's hand, she was a little surprised: "Where is my letter?"

Ye Qiao said lightly, "It has already been sent."

The girl opened her eyes wide: "Really?"

"Well. He asked me to give you this."

"...for me?"

Ye Qiao nodded.

The girl approached Ye Qiao timidly, took the kerosene lamp, and took a few steps back, "It looks good."

Then, he left with a kerosene lamp.

Jin Lei on the roof suddenly said: "Ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death. Next time, find a few books like this to exchange."

The kitten turned over in Ye Qiao's arms, licked Ye Qiao's hand on his head, flicked its tail, and looked in the direction Ye Qiao had been looking at.That shaggy-haired man really worried Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao looked at the intersection in front of him in a daze, two stars seemed to fall from the sky full of stars, two small dots twinkling and twinkling, a small white light, shining from a distance, but it was too far away, the light scattered, and it became brighter and brighter. As it gets closer, the white light gathers, and the dots become bigger. It is a car.He suddenly became tense and expectant.He didn't know what he was nervous about, what he was looking forward to, but he just felt that he couldn't calm down.

Xi Nang flapped its wings and flew after Bai Guang.Ye Qiao saw the bag and was sure.The white meat balls rubbed against his body, landed on the kitten again, and flew away with the kitten.

Gu Chen got out of the car. He was very tired, but he raised his head and smiled at Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao smiled back.

"You're back?"

"I am back."
