Before Lin Xiuyuan came back from get off work the next day, Jiang Yuming's grades were already out.

Steady book.

He was the best among the senior high school students in the Bodhisattva Temple Hutong.

The courtyard was crowded with people, all of whom came to inquire and congratulate.

Jiang Pide did not study much when he was young, and did everything he could to provide for his children to go to school. Even now that life is better, he still admires knowledgeable people the most. After hearing his grandson's grades, he set off several strings of firecrackers at the door.

The courtyard is very lively.

It was a little difficult for Lin Xiuyuan to push the bicycle in.

In the car basket were the school entrance gifts he bought for Jiang Yuming, and p watches.

With half a month's salary, this is the best watch he can buy so far.

There are a lot of gift boxes, cigarettes and alcohol piled up at the door of the main house.

However, the master Jiang Yuming was not inside. Uncle Jiang said that he was taken to see his grandfather by his parents.

The banquet will be held in a hotel in the city center in a few days. Jiang Yuming's parents have sent invitations to the people in the yard and the neighbors who are close to each other.

Lin Xiuyuan picked up the invitation on the window sill, opened the door and entered the house.

After washing his hands outside, he took out the new watch and carefully packed it p times, and finally put it in the bottom drawer.

There were people coming and going outside, visiting and congratulating each other one after another, until it gradually quieted down after dark.

Lin Xiuyuan paid attention to the movement of several other tenants in the courtyard.

Xu Hongxia went to the police station after get off work, and came back late, Shang Wu stayed behind closed doors, and Sun Xiaopang, mother and son were still setting up a stall outside.

When Lin Xiuyuan was cooking, Xu Hongxia came over to ask him the amount of the gift money, fearing that it would not be compatible with other tenants.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't know much about these things, so he asked her how to deliver them.

Xu Hongxia just counted, and she smiled: "Xiaopang also has so many red envelopes, but we have lived here for a long time and have a lot of friendship with Mr. Jiang. As for you, you have not been working for a long time, so you can actually have less."

That number was already much less than Lin Xiu's original plan: "It's okay, let's do the same."

Xu Hongxia nodded, looked at the braised eggplants he made, and thought of something, suddenly said: "My husband used to grow eggplants in the yard, but unfortunately they didn't grow."

With a lot of loneliness in his eyes, he turned and went back to the house.

Lin Xiuyuan turned his head to look over, but Xu Hongxia's door was not closed.

There are baby wall paintings posted all over the house.

When she was preparing for pregnancy, Chen Gang once said that watching those babies can give birth to healthy and beautiful children, and she herself liked to say that later.

Lin Xiuyuan lowered his head and continued cooking, he said to the system: "There seems to be something wrong with those pictures."

System: "What's the problem?"

"These wall paintings are sold in a shop at the entrance, and the characters in the background all look p-like, but in the wall paintings I've seen, the babies are all wearing bellybands. In the pictures at Xu Hongxia's house, there are more skirts and lace under the bellybands."

"Maybe it's a men's and women's version of the same wall painting, and it just so happens that you're looking at the male version?"

"Chen Gang is very patriarchal. He also said that if you look at baby wall paintings more, you can have a son. Do you think he might put up female wall paintings at home?"

System: "It's also possible that you bought the wrong one."

Lin Xiuyuan only pursed his lips and said, "Wall painting and Xu Hongxia, at least p of them have problems."

Perhaps because of the influence of those wall paintings, Lin Xiuyuan was always a little uneasy.

After dinner, he rode out the door.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw Sun Xiaopang and his mother, who were closing up the stall, smiling and nodding to greet him.

Lin Xiuyuan took a second look, especially Sun Xiaopang's mother.

Grandma always gives the impression of being haggard and weak, and she rarely talks to others. Her personality is completely opposite to Xu Hongxia's, and generally no one will associate them with her.

But Lin Xiuyuan thought of Xu Hongxia.

These two people actually have one very obvious thing in common-the husband cheated and betrayed, and now there is no trace.

After leaving the Bodhisattva Temple Alley, Lin Xiuyuan rode his bicycle to several video stores.

It's a pity that Bai Li, the singer father of Sun Xiaopang, is too unknown. He mentioned this name in several stores, but the boss didn't have any impression. In the end, he ran a long way, and found an old tape in P's rather dilapidated second-hand bookstore. .

Completely different from his imagination, the songs included in the album about singer Bai Li are all nursery rhymes.

It was dark when Lin Xiuyuan rushed back to the courtyard.

He was sweating all over his body from riding a bicycle, went into the house to put away the tape and went to take a shower.

At that time, Xu Hongxia's door was closed, and Jiang Pide said that she had gone out to visit her neighbors.

When Lin Xiuyuan came out after taking a shower, Xu Hongxia also came back, wondering if she thought of something sad again, she sat on the small bench by the door and wiped her tears.

Lin Xiuyuan: "Sister Hongxia, are you okay?"

"It's okay..." The woman choked up and wiped her face, then got up suddenly and went back to the room.

The door was slammed shut, and he never came out again.

Over there, Sun Xiaopang's mother and son turned off the lights and went to sleep, and Shang Wu's room next to him was still brightly lit, and the man opened the window to diffuse the smoke, smoking while writing articles.

The only thing in the courtyard was the laughter of Uncle Jiang watching TV in the main house.

Lin Xiuyuan went back to the house, sat at the table and put the second-hand tapes he bought back into the tape recorder.

He puts on his headphones.

I don't know if it's because the tape is damaged, but the singing inside is always accompanied by some other noises, which are so subtle that I can't make out what it is.

Lin Xiuyuan listened to all the songs in the tape p times, and probably understood why this person is so unknown.

The melody of the lyrics is okay, but the singing has no emotion at all, and the innocence, sunshine and beauty conveyed in the lyrics are all gone, just like rushing to work perfunctorily.

He wanted to pull out the earphones several times, and he listened to it several times before he got used to it. His mind became dizzy, and finally he hummed a few words subconsciously...

That night, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't sleep because he didn't know if it was affected by the "magic sound".

It was almost three or four in the morning, and he tossed and turned in bed, still unable to fall asleep.

He still had to go to work during the day and had to rest. Lin Xiuyuan got up and was going to take a bath before trying to sleep, but when P got out of bed, he felt uncomfortable all over, so uncomfortable that he even wanted to vomit.

He quickly turned on the light, carefully recalling what he ate that day, no snacks, ordinary meals, and couldn't think of any problems.

Lin Xiuyuan resisted the discomfort and opened the door to go out to breathe.

It was late at night, and there was only a slight sound of wind in the yard.

It was cool outside and the wind was blowing. He felt much more comfortable. He stretched out his hand to rub his sweaty face and went to the pool.

The water was rushing.

Lin Xiuyuan flushed his face with water, refreshed, panted and turned off the faucet.

He was about to raise his head, but a childish voice sounded next to his ear at this moment: "Have you seen my parents?"

"..."

Lin Xiuyuan froze suddenly, maintaining his original posture lying in front of the pool.

The voice became urgent: "Have you seen my parents?"

Lin Xiuyuan still didn't move.

System: "Does it take so long to get into the show? You should take care of them."

"...Do you know what it means to stand and talk without back pain?"

"..."

The wind became louder, Lin Xiuyuan seized the timing and opened his eyes suddenly.

In the wet pool, the little girl stared at P's eyes without whites, and looked at him quietly.

……

Sheng Xiaoyuan drowned.

Jiang Yuming heard this sentence at seven o'clock in the morning. At that time, their P's family was having breakfast in the restaurant of their grandfather's house. Jiang's mother suddenly received a call from Jiang Pide, saying that something happened to the tenants in the courtyard. I have to rush to the hospital to see, and then I will talk to Jiang's mother about where to put the things prepared for the teacher's appreciation banquet... Jiang's mother asked him which tenant he was, what happened, and whether it was serious.

"Sheng Xiaoyuan is drowning! That young man in the east room!"

The hot milk that the young man had just drank, the glass fell to the ground with a "bang", smashing into pieces.

Parents and grandpa looked over in surprise. Before they had time to ask, they rushed out and kicked a potted plant recklessly. The potted plant didn't fall, but the muffled sound of the ceramic pot hitting the bone made a muffled sound. Everyone felt pain, but the owner of the leg seemed to have lost consciousness. He didn't pause for p seconds, and disappeared completely after opening the door.

It was very windy outside and the weather was a bit gloomy.

Jiang Yuming stopped a taxi at the door and rushed straight up.

The driver asked him where he was going.

He looked ahead, teeth chattering and said the nearest hospital in Bodhisattva Temple Alley.

After driving the car for a while, he suddenly thought of calling grandpa to ask for the exact address.

The hospital was indeed the one he mentioned, and the drowning person was indeed Sheng Xiaoyuan.

His soul seemed to be out of his body, his eyes were out of focus, and he opened his mouth to ask questions without beginning or end.

Why did it happen?Why drowning?Why……

Hearing his incoherent speech, Jiang Pide thought he had just woken up in a daze, and said in a loud voice, "I don't know what's going on, it seems to be suicide... Someone saw him go to the river by himself before dawn, and down several times The water came up again, and the last time it trickled very far... I don't know why I couldn't think about it... Fortunately, I'm fine now..."

There was a lot of noise over there. Jiang Pide said that he was in the hospital, and he would talk to him later, and then hung up directly.

Jiang Yuming sat stiffly, the pip between his lips was pale, and he still held the mobile phone.

The windows of the car were open, and the wind was blowing in, as well as the cries of street vendors.

He was motionless, almost as if he was deaf at the moment he heard "suicide".

The world is extremely silent, and no one knows that the youth of a young man is like a cluster of candlelight, blown out in just a few moments.
