soul seeker

490 five years old. 15 years old.

Spring is here, and the pear blossoms are raining again in the courtyards on both sides.

night.Because tomorrow is the weekend, Lishu is looking forward to it from now on.Can't sleep looking forward to it.

Although it doesn't matter if a tree doesn't sleep, its habit is the same as that of a human being. It sleeps every night and wakes up at dawn, which can kill a lot of time.

Time passed slowly, and in the morning, Lishu began to feel strange.The old man hasn't changed his position since he lay down. Although his eyes are closed and his face is expressionless, he still looks very kind.

A few more hours later, Li Shu was sure, she... was gone.

Even though she was gone, Lishu didn't feel very sad, because she walked peacefully and without pain.

At noon, her old people who had made appointments with her came to her because she never showed up.

The next thing was so logical, calling for help, sending him to the hospital, and sending him back to prepare for the funeral if the rescue failed.

Only the daughter and grandson, and the rest are basically only distant relatives, the kind who will not leave during the New Year and holidays, so the funeral is very simple, and it will be over in two or three days.

As the funeral ended, Li Shu began to feel uneasy and worried, because the old man was gone, Xiao Ye had no reason to come back, and the chance to talk to him in the future was almost gone.

On the first weekend after the funeral, while Lishu was looking forward to Xiaoye's return, she rationally said to herself: "He won't come again, he has no reason to come back, although he has a good relationship with you, it's not so good. I ran back here just to say a few words to you."

With such self-contradictory feelings, in the evening of that day, it still waited for Xiaoye.

Although he couldn't see it, Xiaoye rarely asked others to help him. After he came back, he tidied up the house that was left untidy last time because he walked in a hurry, and then he still set up a bench and sat by the courtyard wall under the tree. .

Li Shu, whose heart was full of joy and happiness, wanted to speak to him immediately, but she still had to be patient. She could not talk to Ah Zheng until he came back from school.

They are both waiting.

Finally, Ah Zheng's words "I'm back" liberated Li Shu's anxious heart.

"Why are you here again? Didn't your grandma pass away?" In Ah Zheng's voice, it tentatively asked the question it was most worried about.Although it's back this week, what about after that?

"Every time I come back, it's not just because of my grandma. I like it here, and there is a chatter sitting on a tree."

As she spoke, Xiaoye leaned back against the gray courtyard wall, leaned her head sideways on it, and closed her eyes.

"You're the chatter..." It sounded like a rebuttal, but Li Shu had completely let go of her worries.

But then, that deep sense of guilt spread in its heart again.

"Are you sad about grandma?"

"It's okay...it's not very sad, she didn't suffer any pain when she walked, and she didn't suffer any pain." Xiaoye touched the rough texture of the wall, "It should be very happy to be able to die in a dream. I don't know what grandma did at that time." What kind of dream, did you dream about grandpa?"

"If it was you, who do you want to dream of at this moment?" Li Shu asked.

"Who? Don't want anyone. It's good to dream now, talking to you with the wind blowing... Now the flowers are blooming again?"

Because it was very busy during this time, Xiaoye gradually fell asleep at such a quiet moment.

The shadows of flowers and branches are reflected on his face, and the evening wind blows through the hair on his forehead, curling up pear petals.

Li Shu looked at this picture hard, because it can't dream, so it wants to let itself remember it forever.
