A Heartwarming Decade - Chapter 44
When Ah Heng returned to City B, it was past the eighth day of the month.
Father Wen asked her to go home for a few days first. She thought about it and shook her head, like a rattle in the hands of a child. He rubbed her hair and smiled: “It’s still a child after all.”
A Heng sniffed: “Dad, you see, the house is still colder than the south.” He laughed like this and pretended to be stupid, not wanting to ask his father what he meant.
A Heng has been busy doing housework for two or three days after arriving home. I have been outside for a holiday, and the dust in my home has already accumulated a layer.
I bowed my head to my grandfather in his old age, and he amused the old man with a lot of pockets. There is a saying, oh, yes, a family is as old as a treasure, especially your treasure is still a cornucopia.
A Heng said this to his grandfather with the new year’s money, and the old man scolded with a smile: “Yunyi, look, this kid is skinny, do you care or don’t care!”
The mother also laughed, pretending to hit her in anger, but finally greeted her with her hand, but only gently dropped, not painful or itchy, little petting, making A Heng inexplicably happy for a long time.
After waiting for a few days, Yanxi did not call back, and the return date is uncertain.
On the twelfth day of the first month, she remembered clearly that she had never been unhappy in her life, and her mood was not extreme, but since that day, in this life, she has been alone against the number twelve, and she hates it to the extreme.
She received a courier, the address is No. 09-68, City B, electronic handwriting, correct.
Still from Vienna.
On the cover, the sender is “Yanxi”.
Aheng smiled, thinking about what new discoveries this uncle might have made. Opened, it was a pink hard-covered photo album, Yanxi’s favorite color, light to extreme, bright and gentle. Although different from the previous single photos, it is still his style.
She once thought that as long as she took care of every plot that Yanxi walked through, and paid attention to the clues in his life due to some sins in his life, even if the ending was unpredictable, it was enough to resist the origins that made him chill. of.
So, she kept telling him, Yanxi, there is nothing in this world, no big deal, you know?
In this world, she has lived for so long, and has experienced some difficult frustrations that she thinks. Sometimes, although she wants to cry, she has never given up her persistence to the goodness of human nature. Therefore, whenever I meet some beautiful people after being sad and sad, I will wash in my heart the hostility towards others, and I will naturally think that this world is a world where we can live in an ordinary life with warm hearts.
So, it’s no big deal, right, Yanxi?
Therefore, when I am afraid of pain, I always feel that things are not as bad as I imagined. I always think about how good Yanxi would be if she were more sensible and mature.
Keep thinking like this…
However, when she opened the album, every one, every scene, made her wish to shatter the world completely.
Yanxi, who is under pressure by a group of men; Yanxi with blood on his lower body; Yanxi with empty eyes wide open; Yanxi with a smile still remaining at the corner of his mouth; Yanxi who can’t even shed tears; his face is still very Childish Yanxi; only fifteen years old Yanxi…
The truth, this is the truth!
Her eyes were red, and her whole body was extremely cold. For the first time, she knew that despair was like this.
The pain was hopeless, but there was no wound.
Yanxi, Yanxi…
She was chanting his name, her eyes burning with pain, she covered her eyes, and her fingers were picking at the album. She was red and bleeding, but after all, she fell on the floor and wept bitterly.
Yanxi…
Later, when Yanxi was unconscious, Ah Heng often took his hand and smiled at him: “Yanxi, why are you so stupid that you really lost yourself?”
Vienna, is it so far away?
Everything seemed to be calculated carefully. After receiving the album, immediately afterwards, I received a call. Overseas long distance, the voice of Si Wan that was almost out of control: “A Heng, go to the airport, go to the airport and have a look!”
Holding the dazzling pink photo album in her hand, her voice was extremely hoarse: “What happened?”
Si Wan was silent for a while, but Xin Dayi’s voice came from the other side: “Damn! Wen Si Wan, what the **** are you shaking…” The sound of rustling the microphone, and then Xin came from the microphone. Dayi’s clear voice, “Aheng, listen carefully. Yanxi received the receipt from the express company before, and suddenly went crazy and ran away. We have been looking for nearly a day in Vienna, but no one is seen. Now we suspect him. You may be back to your country, now you go to the airport immediately!”
A Heng’s eyes hurt again, and he heard the sound of the current slowly passing by, snapping, small sparks, the grand desolation extinguished.
When he hung up the phone, Sindayi cursed, as if to the extreme of resentment, but his voice was so far away that he could not hear him clearly.
That sentence, only that sentence.
“Fuck old bitch, don’t let me grab the handle!”
Immediately afterwards, there was a busy tone.
She suddenly remembered something. Is it that woman?
A Heng took a deep breath and stood up unsteadily.
Can’t be sad, can’t cry, can’t be weak, Wen Heng, you are not allowed to **** now!
She is waiting. Standing at the airport for eight hours without moving a single step.
People come and go, everyone’s footsteps, from far to near, then far away.
She opened her eyes wide, smiled, and smiled. If you see Yanxi, you have to say: Welcome home. Then carefully conceal him and put him in the house, she will help him to kill how many bad people there are. If he wants to shrink back and is unwilling to face it, then, while he is still willing to allow her to exist, there can be only two of them in this world.
Yanxi, is this okay? Don’t blame you for not eating well because you play games day and night; don’t blame you for being picky eaters because you only eat ribs and only drink chocolate milk; don’t smash you with a pillow because you always teach me to speak bad words…
Yanxi, is this okay?
Finally, the zero clock rang. All the Vienna flights returned, but did not bring her boy back.
There was dead silence all around.
He lowered his head, the smooth pale blue marble, even the scattered white boarding pass was clearly lonely.
Back home, it was early morning.
The moment the door was opened, the room was still clean and tidy, but something seemed to have changed. The albums that had been scattered on the ground were put back on the desktop.
The clean, gentle pink, the most vicious curse in the world, was put back on the table and closed quietly.
“Yanxi!” Her expression moved, her heart beating fiercely, and she shouted. The voice was so dumb that it didn’t look like it, and it was abnormally broken in the floating air.
The silence of a room.
Yanxi came back…
She knew the traces of his existence, touched the air he had breathed, but was even more sad.
This kind of departure, this kind of loss again, is far more unbearable than the shattered expectations at the airport.
Because she knew that if it was Yanxi, she would leave again, but she would not return again.
He said he will be back soon, he said he wanted her to wait for him at home, he said Aheng, come home, at first glance, want to see you…
She rushed out of the living room and walked to the door, the cold winter wind biting her bones. In the wind, the house number that she wiped several times a day, the house number that could take him home, has disappeared.
All that was left was the blood stains that remained after digging out the gravel.
Scary red.
He… took home away, but left her behind.
The phone rang again.
“Aheng, has Yanxi gone back?”
A Heng thought for a while, his eyes became cold: “Well, I’m back, I’m already asleep.”
“Is he… okay?” Si Wan hesitated.
A Heng’s eyes were bloodshot, and he asked softly, “What can happen to him?”
Si Wan hesitated: “It’s fine if it’s all right.”
“When will you be back?”
“Aunt Lin has already booked the flight tickets for tomorrow.”
“Oh, so. Is Sindayi by your side?” A Heng smiled, but Su Ri’s gentle eyes didn’t smile.
“Yes.” He handed the microphone out.
“A Heng. Isn’t the beauty okay?” The other party had a straightforward voice.
“Dayi, listen to me, now I hang up the phone, find a place no one knows, preferably a phone booth, and call the call again.” A Heng took a breath and lowered his voice, “It must be. Others, no one can, you know?”
He returned with a simple defense: “Yeah.”
A Heng stared at the clock blankly, it was almost three o’clock in the morning.
About ten minutes later, the caller ID, unfamiliar number.
“Aheng, are you telling the truth, did Yanxi go back?” The other party was Sindayi.
A Heng spoke slowly, without answering and asking: “Dayi, now I only trust you. Tell me what happened two years ago.”
She couldn’t be more calm, even the sound of the clock’s second hand moving clearly.
Sindayi was silent, and after a long time, he said, “Yanxi two years ago, on the second day after Lu Liu left, he was kept at home by Grandpa Yan for six months without seeing the sun.”
“Grandpa Yan didn’t allow anyone to visit him. He only told the outside that he had a serious illness.” Dayi’s voice suddenly became excited. “But, how can it be so coincidental? Yanxi has never had a baby except for a cold. Other diseases. On the day before sending Lu Liu away, he also promised to join me in the sports relay race.”
Suddenly, the boy was a little lonely: “I pestered him for a long time, and even his brother called out, and he agreed.”
A Heng bit his lip and asked hard: “Dayi, do you mean that Yanxi’s illness is related to Lu Liu?”
His voice almost choked up: “Aheng, Yanxi was not sick. He was crazy at the time and no one would recognize him! I ran to see him secretly, but he buried himself in the sheets, his eyes were dull, how could he shout? , Ignored me. At the time, I almost thought he would never come back…
“A Heng, he is crazy, do you know what it means to be crazy? No matter who you are, how long you have played with him, how close you are to him, it no longer has any meaning.”
Early in the morning, she made a phone call to a person, but she did not contact for a long time, but she was considered a friend.
“A Heng, rare, why did you remember calling me?” The other party smiled.
A Heng smiled and asked him: “Brother Tiger Ba, how long will it take if you ask Qi your brothers to visit City B?”
The other party was the Tiger Ba who didn’t know each other and Yanxi. Everyone often drinks together in their free time, and sympathizes with each other, which is regarded as a friend of gentlemen.
“It’s probably three or four days.” Tiger Ba roughly calculated.
Aheng asked again: “What if the situation is urgent?”
Tiger Ba frowned: “At least two days.”
Ah Heng asked again: “A little bit faster?”
Tiger Ba was silent, speculating about Aheng’s intentions.
A Heng smiled lightly and said mildly: “Brother Tiger, if I ask you and my brothers to do me a favor, I can walk around City B in one day. In the future, as long as there is a place where I can get warm and balanced, it will be a criminal sentence. The younger sister will do it for you. Don’t know if this will happen?”
Tiger Ba was taken aback. He rarely saw Ah Heng say something like this: “A Heng, just say what is going on. Brothers can help.”
Aheng’s knuckles were white, his lips were chapped, almost bleeding, but he still smiled: “Yanxi is missing.”
A Heng has been waiting, waiting quietly.
When the doorbell rang, it was six o’clock in the evening. Aheng and Dayi talked on the phone, and they arrived in City B at five o’clock.
Are you so anxious? A Heng clenched his fists, and the hatred surged in his heart for an instant.
She opened the door, and the hidden flowers surging, Mei Xianggan made peace.
Sure enough… she.
“Auntie Lin, why are you here?” A Heng smiled, eyes bright and clear.
“Oh, come and see Xiaoxi. At that time, the kid ran away when he said he ran. Isn’t it okay?” Lin Ruomei smiled softly, but with a hint of eagerness, she leaned toward the living room, “Xiaoxi, Yanxi!”
A Heng calmly said, “What are you doing in such a hurry?” She soaked the top Biluochun, smiling like a spring breeze, and passed the purple porcelain cup, the room filled with fragrance.
Lin Ruomei took the tea, squinted, and smiled, “Xiao Xi didn’t come back, did he?”
A Heng looked down at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the clear water: “Isn’t this what you want?”
Lin Ruomei raised her eyebrows: “You kid, what do you mean by saying this?”
Aheng shook his head and sighed, “No, I was wrong. Your original intention was that after seeing those photos, he would be crazy immediately, right?”
“What photos are you talking about? What’s crazy? You kid, how can you say something that auntie doesn’t understand?” Lin Ruomei smiled.
“Is your memory so bad? It’s the photo album you sent me under the guise of Xi’s name, pink and crusty.” Aheng described it, smiling.
Lin Ruomei stared at Ah Heng for a long time, her eyes slowly turning from soft to cold: “Am I underestimating you, Wen Heng? It’s not easy to be so calm when you see such disgusting things. To Yanxi, I just said that those photos exist, and he can’t stand it anymore.”
A Heng smiled and lowered his head: “Two years ago, you instructed four men to **** Yanxi, who was only 15 years old, on the day Lu left the country, didn’t you?”
She distinguished the four men from the photos with her own eyes.
Lin Ruomei sneered: “That little fairy, isn’t he the favorite to seduce men? What’s the big deal about being a man?!”
A Heng grabbed his right arm with his left hand, and under the sweater, the skin pained completely: “That night, you asked Secretary Chen to take pictures. He threatened Yanxi that if he told him about it, he would send these pictures to him. People who speak very importantly, for example, Lu Liu.”
Therefore, every time Yanxi sees Secretary Chen, it is so painful.
She sent the photo to her home just to make sure Yanxi could see it. It is naturally best if Yanxi’s psychological defense line collapses automatically without angering Lu Liu.
Lin Ruomei’s expression became deeply disgusting and disgusting: “This vixen wants to ruin my son, it’s not so easy. Before he harms my son, I will ruin him first! But I didn’t expect that after he went crazy, he would be able to wake up. .”
A Heng raised his head, his eyes dark, “If I guessed correctly, in fact, it should be Lu Liu who has always liked Yanxi, Aunt Lin?”
Lin Ruomei stood up abruptly with a vicious look in her eyes: “What nonsense are you talking about, my son won’t like that kind of little **** that even his parents don’t want!”
A Heng also got up, the whole pot of hot water poured from Lin Ruomei’s head, and said faintly: “Lin Ruomei, you said, the **** criminal will go to jail for several years? You said, if Yanxi’s grandfather knew , How many years will you go to jail?”
Lin Ruomei screamed, like a chicken, no longer elegant and noble: “Do you have any evidence that I did it, just rely on those photos?”
Aheng took out the recording pen from his pocket and spoke slowly: “It is of course not enough to have physical evidence, but is it enough with a confession?”
Lin Ruomei’s face was completely hideous: “You little bitch! A **** like Yanxi!”
A Heng stretched out his hand and slapped the woman in front of him fiercely: “Lin Ruomei, I respect you three points because you are old. Don’t think that others are afraid of you! If you scold Yanxi again, you are sending you Before going to court, I don’t mind stabs you because of’temporary indignation, when you **** evidence and commit violence, just defend yourself’!”
She grabbed the fruit knife on the table and looked at Lin Ruomei, her eyes getting colder.
Lin Ruomei looked a little frightened: “You… how dare you!”
Aheng smiled, the bloodshot eyes in his eyes heavier: “Why don’t I dare? Who do you think you are? Don’t say it’s a Lin Ruomei, it’s a hundred or a thousand. If I can say that I am happy and peaceful, why not for?
“What’s more, you don’t seem to know very much about who is standing behind me and Yanxi, and whose grandchildren you are scolding are!”
Lin Ruomei suddenly calmed down and smiled very kindly: “If I say, I haven’t put the Yanjia in my eyes?”
“Thanks to you, Yanxi has disappeared. If he loses one hair, I will pull out all your hair; if he is cold and hungry, I will make you cold and hungry tenfold; if he If you are crazy, I will follow your previous method to make you crazy again, how about?”
“Then we might as well try.” Tea dripped from Lin Ruomei’s hair, and the smile on that face gradually became more weird, “It seems that things have become more interesting.”
