The text above is no longer legible.
Just like the face stored in Qianye's memory, it has gradually become moldy due to the passage of time.
Qianye asked Lin Xiaoxiao to place the flowers next to the tombstone, and then negotiated a deal with the other party.
[I will give you money, can you kneel down for me? On my behalf. 】
Lin Xiaoxiao said nothing.
She is very emotional and can understand most of what Qianye is thinking...
Even without the money Qianye mentioned, she would agree to this request.
The soil in front of the tombstone is a little messy.
Maybe it's because the cleaning staff took advantage of it...
In short, when Lin Xiaoxiao knelt down, he could only feel the sand that had not been cleared under his knees, and it was so painful to kneel down.
And this kneeling...
Just a few minutes.
The wind seemed to become lighter at this time, blowing the hair on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, and it was rare to see tranquility on his ordinary face.
Like a character walking out of a painting, quiet and elegant...
Get rid of the trivial memory fragments in your mind.
Qianye silently looked at the relatives who were no longer in the world in front of him. He only remembered that when he was a child, he was like a follower. No matter where his grandmother went, he would follow her for a reason.

Even though she has nothing to say, she still calls her grandma. When she hears the other party agree to her promise, she will feel an inexplicable satisfaction in her heart.
The dumplings and glutinous rice balls made by grandma are so delicious...
Qianye would eat a big bowl every festival.
It's a pity that his hands are very clumsy and he can't use Kuaizi well. After eating, he always puts the fillings into the clean soup, and finally turns into a bowl of sesame lake.
It's tasteless when you drink it, and it feels like a waste when you throw it away...
At that time.
Chino’s favorite food is the braised beef noodles on the supermarket shelves.
It's strange that these small packets of condiments can arouse the taste buds on his tongue every time.
More than once.
He had begged his grandma to buy him a few bags and put them at home. He made excuses by saying that if grandma had something to do and couldn't cook for him, he would also make instant noodles to eat so that he wouldn't starve...
certainly.
With Qianye's temperament, he couldn't wait for so long.
After grandma agreed to buy it with a wrinkled smile on her face, he would eat it all within a day or two...
The world is really like instant noodles.
I thought it was delicious before, as if I had grown up and realized the freedom of instant noodles.
But when you really grow up, the instant noodles don't have much flavor anymore. If you want to eat instant noodles, you will most likely be in a state of despair...
People who were there before will always feel like they are there.
But when he realizes that the other person has left and will never appear in front of him, and laughs at whether he wants to eat the meat pie sold at the school gate, he feels sad afterwards.
Qianye has two bottles of chili sauce at home that will not be opened.
That thing has long passed its shelf life and can be thrown into the trash can and dumped in the garbage station.
But Chino won’t...
Maybe people have this idea, thinking that if they keep the things left by their old friends, they will think of them at some point in the future.
So even though the chili sauce that grandma made before her death may have turned into a sour smell, Qianye still chose to put it quietly in the refrigerator.
Taking a seat?
Won't......
That kind of thing will never take place.
Just like Qian Ye's longing, after seeing the old tomb, he wished he could go back to the past. No matter what he did, his grandma would always support him...
【grandmother......】
Whisper the title softly.
Her nose was slightly sore, and Qianye felt that when this title came out of her mouth again, she felt inappropriately unfamiliar.
It's been a long time since he's been a follower.
It’s been a long time since my grandma kept calling each other from behind...
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the chili sauce made by my grandma.
If you don't cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep, it's impossible for someone to cover you thoughtfully and worry about catching a cold...
He has grown up.
Now I am an adult who can take care of myself.
The childhood-like period is completely gone, which means that such an experience will never happen again.
The people of the past are the people of the past.
Qianye could only stare blankly at the cold tombstone now, mourning the grandmother who always wore an apron and asked herself if she had enough to eat.
The last encounter...
He still remembers it being a sunny day.
Two days ago, my grandma fell ill. She fell on the bed and couldn't say a word. Her throat was full of rustling phlegm, as if something was blocking her.
And this day.
Grandma suddenly and inexplicably got better.
Not only can I walk normally, but I can also cook a large pot of porridge by myself and eat all the porridge in the bowl as usual...
Seeing this scene, Qianye, who was originally very worried, thought that her grandmother would get completely better and be able to resume her previous life.
That day...
It was still that day.
Grandma took out a plastic bag from her pocket, which was filled with white napkins one after another. Finally, she got wealth from helping others or picking up unwanted plastic bottles on the road.
This is her lifetime wealth!
It was she who raised Qianye to such a great height!
Grandma, who usually taught Qianye to save some money, counted the banknotes that looked like wrinkles on her face that day, and finally took out the largest two and stuffed them into Qianye's hand.
"Xiao Ye, tomorrow is your birthday. When school is over soon, remember to tell the boss of the cake shop you pass by and ask him to make a cake for you early tomorrow morning."
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to eat roast duck..."
"Let's just buy half of it and bring it back. Grandma's teeth don't taste good and she can't eat it. If we buy too much, we're afraid we won't be able to finish it."
"Grandma doesn't know what kind of birthday gift you want for the remaining money, so I'll just treat it as a red envelope for you. If there's anything you like, then buy it yourself..."
A heavy two hundred yuan.
Qianye was very sensible. After she had the remaining money, she directly bought the foot bath that her grandmother had always wanted, as well as some medicines that were said to have health-preserving effects.
It may be fake, or it may not have that effect at all...
After all, the price is very cheap.
One hundred dollars can't buy the blood circulation and blood clots that the salesperson talks about, as well as good health.
But Chino is happy...
He was happy that he had become sensible for once, and he was happy that his grandmother was surprised when she saw the footbath.
He was looking forward to grandma talking about wasting money and looking at her baby again and again...
That day.
He returned home.
But before the footbath and medicinal materials were delivered, no one opened the wooden door that had been painted with childish graffiti when he was a child.
Knock on the door, knock on the door...
Qianye even forgot how long he had been knocking.
I called my grandma at home so many times towards the window.
Anyway.
That door that day.
It's as quiet as death...
It wasn't until Qianye felt that something was wrong that he picked up the shovel next to him and broke the lock open with great effort. Only then did he see the old man who was no longer breathing lying quietly on the soft quilt covered with soil.
late.
It was too late after all.
Qianye's eighteenth birthday that year was the nightmare he least wanted to face. He would always remember the feeling of the wooden material of the footbath slipping from his hands, and he also remembered his grandmother supporting him to the door before leaving.
On a warm bed lies a person who is not warm.
Grasping the opponent's hand that was already too thin, Qianye cried like a girl...
He had obviously already agreed with his boss to have a birthday cake.
I have obviously bought half a roast duck.
Obviously...
But it was too late.
People who leave never say goodbye, it's like this in life.
No one will ever know that after the people in front of them are separated, there will be no chance for the two people to meet again in this world...
The funeral was simple.
Qianye didn't have any relatives or friends to call over for help.
He kept his preparations as a secret and waited until tomorrow to tell his grandma about the royalties that had arrived, so as to bid farewell to her...
Eighteenth birthday.
He never closed his eyes.
The roast duck that had cooled down and the birthday cake that no one could share with each other all died in the memory that day.
That's why, after knowing that Xixi's wish was to have a normal birthday, he was willing to use up the number of words to modify the plot to create an illusion for the other party.
pity......
Reality is reality.
Parting always has to be learned to face.
Even though she is no longer who she was back then, Qianye can’t bring her grandma back to her...
【Are you still happy there...】
[Have you ever met a child like me who would like to eat the glutinous rice balls and dumplings you make? 】
Thoughts are mixed in the wind.
It blew from the end where Lin Xiaoxiao was to the other end of the mountain in the distance...
There was silence for a long time.
Qianye let out a heavy breath and thought it was time for him to leave.
He looked at the dazzling sun from the corner of Lin Xiaoxiao's field of vision. He always felt that today's weather was as good as that day...
【Let’s go. 】
No matter how much you are reluctant to give up.
There has to be a time when you learn to accept it.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood up obediently and walked out of the cemetery without interrupting...
Many tombstones passed by during this period.
She also fantasizes about whether these are things that many people have longed to see...
For a moment.
She doesn't seem so afraid of ghosts anymore.
No matter how ugly they look, they will not look good after death. When they are completely decomposed, there will only be a pile of cold bones left...
Out of the cemetery.
The scenery outside slowly brought Qianye back to his mind.
He looked at this familiar but unfamiliar city with all kinds of emotions in his heart.
"Qianye, do you think there will really be an afterlife after death? Maybe there will be someone who drinks Meng Po soup and is reincarnated into a good family?"
In the end, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back the urge to speak, and asked Qianye in a comforting manner.
honestly.
Qianye doesn't really believe this.
He had thought a long time ago that this was a story deliberately fabricated by merchants who deal with dead people in order to stimulate consumption and make a lot of money.
But now...
He replied decisively:
【have. 】
"Really?"
[Well, my grandma should be a very cute little girl now. Maybe she is really following her father’s butt, squeaking towards buying candies...]
...
...
after this.
The entire journey was silent.
Qianye told Lin Xiaoxiao according to the agreement that the other party could take away 100,000 yuan from her payment account, even if it was the reward she received for doing this.
It's just that Lin Xiaoxiao, who should have been very happy when he saw the money, is now unhappy.
Realize Chino's feelings for his old friend.
She also thought of her grandmother, who was old and had limited legs and feet...
She doesn't want the other person to leave.
I don’t even want to experience the day when the other person leaves.
Negative energy is contagious. Qianye, who was obviously aware of this, began to chat with Lin Xiaoxiao word by word, hoping to get rid of the other person's unhappy mood.
that's all.
The two came to Qianye's house again...
There was still the barber shop downstairs, and Qianye, who had not visited it for a long time, inexplicably wanted to wash her hair.
If I remember correctly, this boss was still playing matchmaking for him last time, saying that he knew a pretty good girl who he was willing to introduce to him as a match.
But it's a pity.
Qianye is now without a body, and even if he goes to wash his hair, he cannot have a normal conversation with the barber shop owner.
I could only think to myself in my heart that I would come over to see him after I got my body back...
After walking through the floors, Lin Xiaoxiao finally arrived at Qianye's house.
Enter the corresponding door lock password, and when the door is opened, Lin Xiaoxiao also starts to observe the appearance here...
Very normal furniture arrangement.
Even because Qianye didn't have so many requirements in this area, it seemed a bit empty.
The house is quiet.
You can see with the naked eye that there is dust on the TV cabinet, and there is also a faint smell of moisture in the air...
【Um? What about Youyou? 】
After seeing this scene, Qianye was a little confused. After all, according to normal circumstances, the little girl should be at his home.
Since the last time he entered the invitation world, he had expected that he might not come back very late, so he prepared a lot of things for the other party that he would need in life.
Including cash...
Even coming back now is a bit beyond Qianye's expectations.
But the few items prepared are completely enough for a young child to survive, even for another six months.
Youyou is no ordinary little girl.
In addition to the unknown origin of the other party, she is like a little adult, knows almost everything, and can take good care of herself, so it is unlikely that something happened and caused the other party to leave here because she could no longer live... ..
"Who is Youyou?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled by this name.
Because she had never heard Qianye mention it, let alone know that Qianye had a child at home.
[Nothing, let’s go in and take a look. 】
Qianye didn't want to explain.
Compared to clarifying the cause and effect for Lin Xiao, he thought it was more important to find the other party.
After all, no matter what, you are actually just a child in Qian Zhi's mind.
We had been together for a while, and if something happened to the other person, he would feel very sorry...
immediately.
Kitchen, bedroom, toilet, study room...
Lin Xiaoxiao had searched almost every location, but there was still no sign of Youyou.
There is no contact number, which means that if the other party cannot be seen, it is basically impossible for Qianye to find him.
But just when he was thinking about what was going on.
Lin Xiaoxiao's words brought him back.
"Qianye, there seems to be something on the dining table..."
Hear the words.
Qianye glanced towards the dining table.
I saw a brown paper envelope pressed under the vase placed in the middle.
There was an unpacked pen next to the envelope. The pen cap was not even put back properly, and some ink was spilled on the dining table. This is what attracted Lin Xiaoxiao's attention...
【letter? 】
Qianye didn't remember having such a thing at home.
In this era of highly developed communication methods, how many people still use this kind of thing?
so......
Was it left by Youyou?
Not sure.
Qianye had no choice but to ask Lin Xiaoxiao to go up and check...
