At nine o'clock the next morning, Wang Yongming and Xiaosi knocked on Yu Guang's door.
He was stunned when he saw Xiao Si out of the corner of his eye, and looked at Wang Yongming with a frown.
Wang Yongming said with a smile: "He insisted on going. He said that there is a water amusement park in Qingshan Town and he wants to play."
Although Yu Guang didn't quite believe what Wang Yongming said, it was hard to say anything. After all, this Qingshan Town does not belong to his family. If Xiaosi wants to go, he can't stop him.
Qingshan Town is about 70 kilometers away from Yuehu City. If you take the highway, you can get there in about an hour.
At half past ten, Yu Guang and the others arrived outside Qingshan Town.
At the end of 2008, he happened to participate in the completion of a large project and received a large bonus. Thinking that his parents would always rent a house, he pooled some money and bought a small two-bedroom house in this town. . It's a pity that none of them can live in this house.
Qingshan Town is not big, with only two streets in total. One is next to the provincial road and the other is inside. The house Yu Guang bought was at the end of the street inside.
The walls of a seven-story old building have begun to peel off. Yu Guang's house is on the first floor, with a small courtyard. Just outside the courtyard wall is a century-old sycamore tree.
A large part of the reason why he bought this house at that time was also because of this sycamore tree.
Wang Yongming parked the car in the shade under the sycamore tree. After Yu Guang took his backpack and got out of the car, he was ready to drive the two of them away, but the two of them refused to leave and insisted on helping Yu Guang clean the house before leaving.
Yu Guang didn't have the energy to argue with them, so he just let them go.
There is almost no furniture in the two-bedroom house. After Wang Yongming and Xiaosi quickly cleaned the living room and kitchen, they were ready to clean the remaining two rooms. However, the south-facing master bedroom of the two rooms was locked.
Xiaosi asked Yu Guang stupidly: "Brother Yu, why is this room locked?"
He glanced up from the corner of his eye and said, "This room doesn't need to be cleaned."
Xiaosi was so stupid that before he could react, Wang Yongming had already come over and pulled him to another bedroom.
In the other bedroom, there was nothing but a single bed.
There was not even a quilt on the single bed.
"Boss, why are you sleeping here? How about I go to the street to buy some bedding and come back?" Xiao Si, who had been stupid just now, became smarter again and said furtively in a lowered voice.
Wang Yongming raised his hand and knocked him on the head. After glaring at him again, he turned around and went out, asking Yu Guang, who was standing in the yard and looking at the sycamore tree outside the courtyard wall in a daze: "Brother Yu, there is nothing on this bed." , how about I ask Xiaosi to buy some?"
"No need." Yu Guang withdrew his gaze, turned around and entered the room. He looked at Wang Yongming and said, "Come back when you're done. You don't need to stay with me here. My left hand is broken, and I'm not a cripple. I can't even take care of myself." Oh no."
Wang Yongming smiled sarcastically and said, "It's always inconvenient to have a broken hand!"
Looking at him from the corner of his eye, he sighed and said seriously: "I know you are worried about me, but I am used to living alone these years. You always follow me, but I am not used to it. Be obedient and go back!"
Wang Yongming knew that if he kept talking, although Yu Guang might not be angry with him, he might be alienated from him in the future. So, after quickly cleaning up the room, he took Xiaosi away.
As soon as they left, the room fell silent for a moment.
The shadows of the plane trees outside the courtyard were projected through the glass door, plunging the entire house into darkness.
After standing in the darkness for a while, Yu Guang took out a key from his body and opened the locked room.
As soon as the door opened, light poured out.
In the small room, there is a double bed and a desk next to the window. There are many photos pressed under the glass on the desk. There are single photos and family photos, and the people in every photo are smiling.
Out of the corner of his eye, he pulled up a stool at the table and sat down, then quietly looked at the photo above.
Light and shadow move gently, time passes.
Gradually, the sunset has flown into the sky.
The crimson light slipped in quietly from the window and dyed the wall at the head of the bed a dreamy color.
At this time, Yu Guang looked up slightly as if waking up from a dream, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, he stood up and walked out without looking back.
It would probably be a year before the door was locked again and opened again.
In the evening, fireworks began to fill Qingshan Town.
People who had been busy all day came out for a walk. In front of the auditorium at the back of the town, someone danced in the square. Dynamic music swayed gently with the evening breeze.
Yu Guang sat down on the stone bench next to him, eating sesame seed cakes and looking at the smiling people. At this moment, every one of them seemed happy.
Yu Guang suddenly began to live a decadent life. In addition to sleeping every day, he would go out to buy a sesame seed cake or two steamed buns in the evening, and then sit on the stone bench in front of the auditorium, watching the elderly men and women laughing in the square. Only when he saw that the square was empty did he leave alone, surrounded by mosquitoes.
In this way day after day, Yu Guang soon became the talk of people in the town after dinner. Everyone thought he looked familiar, but no one could remember who he was.
Soon, June arrived.
On the day of the 3rd, Wang Yongming, who had not been able to wait for Yu Guang's call, was worried, so he and Xiaosi showed up again with large and small bags of things.
When they arrived, they were about to go out from the corner of their eyes. When they saw the two of them, they were stunned for a moment.
"Why are you here?" Yu Guang asked.
Wang Yongming smiled and lied: "I happened to have to do something nearby, so I came over to take a look." As he said this, he pushed Xiao Si into the door.
Yu Guang didn't stop him, and said: "You can do it yourself, I have something to go out."
After Wang Yongming and Xiaosi looked at each other, Wang Yongming quickly asked: "Brother Yu, how about I send you off?"
"No need." Yu Guang replied.
"Then you can drive my car. It's more convenient." Wang Yongming said and immediately handed over the car keys.
He glanced at it from the corner of his eye and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to do something? How can you leave if you give me the car?"
Wang Yongming couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said: "I'm not in a hurry, I can wait until you come back."
"I won't be back today." Yu Guang suddenly didn't want to expose him anymore. He smiled helplessly and said, "I've called a taxi. You can go to the street to have a meal and come back early. Don't wait for me. I'll come back soon." I'll be back in a few days." After finishing speaking, the phone rang. After glancing at it from the corner of his eye, he said: "The car is here. I'm leaving. Just help me close the door when you leave." After that, he glanced at the two big bags carried by Xiao Si. , after hesitating for a moment, he added: "Just leave half of the food, I can't eat that much."
If this happened before, he would have asked Wang Yongming to take him away.
Although that trip to Xiyong failed to bring Liu Liu back, it made him become a little different.
Wang Yongming watched Yu Guang's back disappear behind the corridor, and asked the waiter beside him thoughtfully: "Tell me, has Brother Yu changed?"
Xiao Si groaned, looked at Wang Yongming confused, and asked: "What has changed? Where has it changed?"
Wang Yongming rolled his eyes: "I don't need to ask you any more questions. Go in quickly and pick out the things to see which ones are left for Brother Yu."
"Oh. So are we really going back like this?" Xiaosi seemed a little unwilling.
Wang Yongming stared at him: "Then what else do you want to do? Stay here and wait for Brother Yu to come back? Aren't you afraid that when he comes back and sees you still angry, he will throw you out of here?"
Wang Yongming's words suddenly reminded him of the time in the service area when Yu Guang pushed Daliang, who looked even stronger than Yu Guang, to the ground with one hand. Xiaosi shook his head hurriedly: "I didn't want to do anything!" But, Having said that, Xiaosi couldn't help but feel curious, and asked: "Boss, where are Brother Yu's family members? Have you seen them?"
Wang Yongming's expression suddenly became solemn, and he told Xiao Si solemnly and earnestly: "You must remember that you must not ask this in front of Brother Yu, do you understand?"
"Why?" Xiaosi was confused.
Wang Yongming didn't explain, he just raised his hand and patted him on the head, saying fiercely: "Just remember it if I ask you to remember it. Why do you ask so many questions?"
Xiaosi finally became honest now.
