"Everyone talks about the goodness of Jiangnan, but tourists only like the elders of Jiangnan, the spring water is as clear as the sky, painting boats and listening to the rain sleep—" The immature child's voice recited the words and sentences that he still couldn't understand, and only found the rhythm interesting, so he repeated it over and over again repeat.

The adults on board all looked at Lu Yanbei with tolerance and love.

In front of me is the beautiful scenery of blue waves, lotus leaves, and lotus flowers. The poems chanted by the ancients are very appropriate at this moment, not to mention the clear and clear voice of the child. Naive, on the contrary, it complements such a scenery.

Just listening to her immature voice, Zhao Siwei who was sitting by the window in the cabin felt a little more cheerful.

The phone rang suddenly at this moment, seeing the caller ID, the smile on Zhao Siwei's face faded, and she picked it up.The husband on the opposite side seemed quite dissatisfied with the fact that she ran out without authorization and took her daughter away with her. He babbled on her and said that he would come to pick her up immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Siwei opened the window.

The wind soaked in water vapor on the lake was blowing head-on, which gave her a headache, but Zhao Siwei didn't seem to feel it, and just leaned against the window to lose consciousness.

As a result, after blowing the wind, I felt a little bad when I went back at night. I developed a fever at night, so I had to be sent to the hospital overnight.When Lu Chenghua rushed over from Beijing, the person on the hospital bed had just lost his fever, his brows were tightly frowned, and he was sleeping restlessly.

The two old men standing in front of the hospital bed didn't have a good look at him.

When Zhao Siwei was ill, Lu Chenghua was busy, and he was indeed a 24-hour filial husband.It's a pity that "there is no filial son in front of a long-term sick bed." In the past year, he has not been as diligent as before.Zhao Siwei vaguely realized that he probably had someone outside.But in her current state, she didn't bother to argue with him. This time, she took her daughter back to her mother's house just to relax.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother only had this one daughter, so they guessed a little bit from her state, so they naturally treated Lu Chenghua well.

Seeing him coming, the second elder excused the matter of taking care of the patient to him on the pretext that the child was still at home.

When the two old men returned home, they were shocked when they opened the door and entered the house.It turned out that Lu Yanbei didn't know when he ran from the bed to the door, and fell asleep leaning on the shoe cabinet. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked over sleepily.

For a long time, Lu Yanbei, who was only five years old at the time, could not understand the various changes in his life.

My mother lives in the hospital for half a year, and even when she comes home, she is mostly in the bedroom and cannot be disturbed... Father is often not at home, and when he comes back occasionally, he always has a grim face and smokes a lot... The family The atmosphere is getting heavier every day, children may not understand, but they are always more sensitive to this kind of thing.

The home of the grandparents is a hometown where the mother can relax and recuperate, but it is a completely unfamiliar place to Lu Yanbei.

Waking up in the middle of the night, she found that there was no one at home. She was full of fear, so she had to guard the door, and fell asleep at some point. ——Actually, this is not the first time she has done this. She sleeps in the porch, outside the door of her mother's room. It seems that she can get a little sense of security this way.

It's just that no one ever noticed before.

However, even if they noticed, the two old people didn't take it to heart. On the one hand, their daughter was seriously ill, and they were so worried that they couldn't care about anything else. I fell down to rest, so I just comforted her a few words.

In the eyes of adults, a child doesn't understand anything, so naturally there is no need to explain many things to her. Even comfort seems to be perfunctory, and it can't calm the anxiety in her heart.

Afterwards, the situation took a turn for the worse. Zhao Siwei's body was already almost empty, and the illness never came up again. Two days later, she had to be transferred back to Beijing. The doctors there knew better about the condition, and the medical resources were much better. many.

But Lu Yanbei was left behind, because she was still young, and the family couldn't take care of her, so she could only be temporarily entrusted to her grandparents.

However, as soon as Zhao Siwei was transferred to another hospital, her grandmother also fell ill due to worry and overwork.

Grandpa spent half his life looking decent, and he never had to worry about the trivial matters in life. It was difficult even to take care of himself, and he had to take care of a patient. He could hardly tell his energy from Lu Yanbei, so he had to give her a little bit every day. Spend money, let her play in the community, and go to a familiar shop to eat when she is hungry.

Fortunately, in a small place, the neighbors are old friends for decades, so there is no need to worry about safety.

At the beginning, Lu Yanbei really followed the arrangement honestly, but after a long time, no one cared about her, and she was familiar with the surrounding environment, so she started to go further away. When grandma came back from the hospital, she had already visited the streets and alleys of the city.

Even the accent is learned like any local child, and the whole person is tanned, except that his personality is still silent, he rarely communicates with his grandparents, and he hardly looks like he was two months ago.

She no longer even expected her parents to come to pick her up, because one night, she heard her grandmother arguing with her father on the phone, her angry voice was extremely shrill, even though she lowered her voice, Lu Yanbei still heard her.

She didn't understand most of those words, but it didn't prevent her from knowing that no one would come to pick her up for a long time.

After grandma came back, someone at home was cooking, but Lu Yanbei was used to hanging out and would go out every day.She is like a silent and hard stone, no matter how worried and persuasive the two old people are, she will not be moved.

Not far from my grandmother's house, there is a mountain that is not very high.In the morning, some old men and women will come here to exercise, and it is very quiet at other times.

Lu Yanbei likes it here, no one will lecture her here, and she can stay by herself quietly.

Tired of visiting this city, she often came here and stayed all day.

The only downside is probably that as the weather gets colder and colder, staying on the mountain becomes more and more painful. When the cold wind blows, the whole person becomes cold from head to toe, no matter how hard it is to warm up.

On this day, Lu Yanbei continued to stay on the mountain as usual, even though he had picked a place leeward, his hands and feet were still freezing.It wasn't until it was almost dark that she crawled out of her hiding place and walked down the mountain trembling.

As he was walking, a butterfly suddenly flew in front of him.

The wings of the butterfly are light blue, with colorful halos painted on them, which is incredibly beautiful.

This season, there should be no butterflies.Perhaps because of this, the butterfly flew very slowly, almost drifting past her side.

Of course Lu Yanbei subconsciously reached out to catch it.

It's just that she forgot that she was cold and stiff at the moment, and her reaction was not as quick as usual, and this was on the way down the mountain.So he stepped on the ground, and the whole person rolled down the mountain.

Fortunately, this hillside is really not steep, and there are no stones or anything like that. Apart from being dizzy and covered in mud, he didn't suffer any injuries.

Lu Yanbei was panting on the ground, when he suddenly heard another voice above his head, "What are you doing?"

She raised her head to look, and the shadow of the light blue butterfly flashed across her eyes, and then Lu Yanbei underestimated the person who was bending over and standing in front of her.

Her eyes are round, her face is round, her hair is also round, and she is wearing a bulging padded jacket, and she looks round too. She is tilting her head, looking at Lu Yanbei curiously.

After a while, she stretched out her hand, "Shall I pull you up?"

Lu Yanbei held this hand and struggled to get up.The little girl stood beside her and looked up at her with amazement in her eyes, "Wow, you are so tall!"

Lu Yanbei has always been taller among children of the same age. She never thought it was a good thing. She can be seen at a glance in the crowd. Even if she wants to hide, she can't hide it. People will see her first.

But at this moment, she was suddenly a little happy.

"What's your name? My name is Nan Nan." The little girl said again.

"I..." Lu Yanbei pursed his lips, "My name is Beibei."

……

"A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with the occasional flap of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later."

Now, the butterfly in front of them is also vibrating its thin and beautiful butterfly wings, setting off an unknown storm where no one notices.
