For the next few days, the weather did not clear up much, as if the heavens were sad for those who had left.
I didn't leave. Lin Ya said I was her boyfriend. Not only could her deceased grandmother hear it, but also Lin Ya's parents who were standing by would hear it. It was not reasonable for me to leave just like that. I had to cooperate for Lin Ya.
Fortunately, these days, everyone had been busy with the funeral, immersed in grief, and no one talked about me and Lin Ya.
Three days later, the funeral was held according to the customs of his hometown.
...
In the courtyard, Lin Ya, who was dressed in a white mournful dress, sat on the bench, silent, and his face was still sad. I took a bottle of water and sat down beside Lin Ya.
Over the past few days, Lin Ya did not know how many tears she had left. At this time, her face was a little pale. She had not eaten or slept well these days. Her grandmother's death was really a big blow to her.
Lin Ya has always been a very strong girl, but these days, I have seen her particularly vulnerable side, her appearance is particularly heartbreaking.
I handed the water to Lin Ya, and Lin Ya silently took it, unscrewed it, and took a sip.
"Girl, don't be sad. When your grandmother sees you like this, she can't even walk peacefully."
Lin Ya looked down at her feet. After a while, she said, "Xing Yun, do you think we can still hear our voices when we're dead?"
"Anyway, I know that even if grandma is gone, she doesn't want to see you like this, does she? She certainly wants you to live well, to marry a good family, and to live well." I smiled and said, "You lied to grandma that I'm your boyfriend. Don't you want grandma to leave?"
"But..." Lin Ya was a little emotional. She said, "I still can't accept it. Grandma is not too old. I always thought she could live for more than ten years and twenty years! Before I could take good care of her, she just left."
"Your grandmother must know what you're thinking. You don't have to blame yourself. You're already fine, girl."
Lin Ya's eyes became moist again. She told me something about her and grandma when they were young. There was a lot of land in the house. Every time when the farm was busy, mom and dad would not have time to take care of themselves. One night, Lin Ya had a fever, but mom and dad were still in the field, so grandma stayed by Lin Ya's side.
Seeing that lin ya was burning so badly, grandma had no choice but to carry Lin Ya on her back and carry her to the village clinic.
For others, this might not be difficult, but grandma was blind, and that was probably the most difficult path she had ever taken. She carried lin ya to the clinic and Lin Ya back. Lin Ya said that she always remembered the feeling of lying on her grandmother's back. It was so warm that she could never forget it.
After telling the story, Lin Ya wiped his eyes again.
After calming down, she looked at the tall tree in the yard and said, "Although grandma is very small, in my eyes, she has always been like a big tree. With her around, I am not afraid of anything. Now, grandma is down."
Grandma will be tired too. Maybe she wants to rest too. Besides, grandma must feel that you don't need her protection anymore. You've grown into a big tree. You're protecting Lin Feng, Tang Manya, Du Ling now. You're already very strong, aren't you?"
Lin Ya pursed her lips. She looked at me and said, "Thank you, Xing Yun."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"You..." Lin ya didn't seem to know what to say.
I answered, "Isn't Shi Yang your boyfriend?"
Lin Ya immediately looked at me, but this time, she did not deny it, but nodded.
I knew Shi Yang wasn't her boyfriend. If so, Lin Ya would have told Shi Yang to come with us when we arrived, instead of asking me to be her boyfriend.
"Why?" I asked Lin Ya. She knew what I was asking.
"You guessed it before, just to make Ji Ze misunderstand." When Ji Ze was mentioned, Lin Ya was very distressed. She took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I've used up almost everything."
"Come on, heroes have been sad about beauty since ancient times. It's not something that beauty should worry about."
Lin Ya finally smiled, but the smile was too short. She looked at Du Ling, who was chatting with her parents in the yard, and said, "Actually, I wanted to introduce Shi Yang to Xiaoling. I think the two of them are very compatible, you know? Both of them are very simple and loving, and they always feel that they are very similar in many ways."
I said speechlessly, "Du Ling is not old. Why are you so anxious? Your sister is really dutiful. You worry about everything."
There was a worried look on Lin Ya's face. She frowned and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, but... Didn't you notice? Xiaoling is not just grateful to Hu Zi. She cares too much about Hu Zi, but you know what happened to Hu Zi. I'm really scared..."
Lin Ya didn't say the next words, but I already understood.
In fact, I also noticed it, but I didn't take this matter too seriously. Today, when lin ya mentioned it, I also felt that it might be more serious than I thought.
These days, when Yu Xinghui died, Du Ling had been asking me about Hu Zi and calling Hu Zi, including before, her reaction to Hu Zi was stronger than anyone else.
We can't even tell what Du Ling's feelings for Hu Zi are.
Lin Ya was also afraid that Du Ling would get hurt.
However, even if Lin Ya wanted to introduce Du Ling to Shi Yang, it would depend on Du Ling's attitude. Even if she and Shi Yang were interested in personality or other things, how could they be measured by data?
But this is really not something we can control.
Both of us sighed helplessly.
After a while, I asked Lin Ya, "When are we going back?"
"You guys go back first. I won't go back with you." Lin Ya replied faintly.
"What?"
I was shocked by Lin Ya's words and asked, "You're not going back?"
Lin ya nodded and said, "I want to stay at home for a while. I haven't had much time at home these years. I want to spend more time with my parents. You guys go back first. I'll go back in a few days."
I think it must be her grandmother's death that made Lin Ya feel a lot of regret, so she wanted to stay with her parents.
Since she wants to stay, she should stay.
It's all done. I want to go back this afternoon. After all, Old Gao is the only one taking care of the restaurant. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it. I'd better go back early.
But before I left, I was delayed by some errands. By the time I left, it was already dusk. I drove back with Lin Feng Tang Manya and Du Ling in my car.
It was very dark when I walked on the road. I turned on the lights. Because the road was unfamiliar, I didn't drive too fast.
Not long after, it was completely dark, and the road was gradually foggy, so I had to turn on the fog lights, slow down, and focus on driving.
Anyway, we're not in a hurry. Just be home tonight.
There weren't many cars on the road, but the fog was getting thicker and thicker. At this time, we were walking on a two-way one-way road, but the yellow paint in the middle of the road was almost invisible. On both sides of the road were boundless fields. From afar, it was as if we were not walking on the road of the human world, as if we were in a fairyland.
The road was quiet, and we were all tired these days, so no one was talking in the car.
The streetlights illuminated the road in front of them in a fan-shaped area, but in the end, they could not disperse the fog in front of them.
Just then, suddenly, a car came from the opposite side. Because of the fog, the car came very close, and I realized that the key was that the car did not drive on the right side, but in the middle of the road, straight ahead.
A blinding light made my eyes white!
I barely had time to think. The car was moving too fast. I just felt that when I started to turn the steering wheel, the car was about to collide with us.
Tang Manya and Du Ling also let out a cry!
Between the sparks and lightning, I slammed the steering wheel to the right, and the car immediately rushed to the field beside me. After a violent jolt, the car stopped.
When the car stopped, my palms were sweating, my heart was racing, and I felt numb as if I had been electrocuted.
That moment was too thrilling. I think I reacted a little slower and the two cars might have crashed into each other. Fortunately, there was no such ditch beside me. Otherwise, the car might have flipped over or fell into the ditch.
With a sigh of relief, I quickly looked at Lin Feng beside me, then at Tang Manya and Du Ling behind me. The car was dark and I couldn't see their faces. I quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
As I spoke, I raised my hand and turned on the lights in the car.
"Nothing." They all said.
"I'm fine." My hanging heart fell, and if something happened to them, it would be bad.
After another long exhale, I could not help but scold, "Damn, stupid, driving so fast."
How dare the fog drive so fast? What the hell is this? I was a little annoyed. I wanted to get out of the car to look at it, but when I got out of the car, I found that the car had already disappeared.
I was even more upset. Our car fell into the field, but the other car was fine.
At that time, I was driving on the right, and the direction must have entered the field. There was still a road on the right side of the car. Maybe he just passed by easily, but we got hurt.
Lin Feng and the others came down, and Lin Feng asked, "Where's that man?"
"Run away!" There was still a lot of fog around, and I couldn't see any light for a long time. There were no cameras here, and I couldn't see what kind of car the other party was driving. It was too difficult to find the driver.
Tang Manya also said angrily, "Look, if he still drives like that, something will happen sooner or later."
After three people left in a row these days, I really don't want anyone to get into trouble again. I sighed and said, "I hope I can teach him a lesson just now."
After what happened just now, that person would have slowed down.
There are always some people in society who think they are good at driving and that they can control the car 100 %. When something really happens, no matter how good their driving skills are! It's always right to slow down, especially on a foggy day like this!
I am a cautious driver, and I have driven a limited number of times over the years, but there have been no accidents, so after experiencing this once, I feel really scared, and my back is cold.
And after such a dangerous scene, it also made me understand the value of life more clearly. Life is really only once. If I die, I really die.
These days, I have inevitably thought about life and death many times, and after tonight's events, I understand the uncertainty of life and death more clearly. I just feel that human life is really too fragile, just like a leaf, blown by the wind, maybe it will fall.
We really don't know when we will disappear in this world, into nothingness!
Thinking back to that moment, there was no time to think about anything. At this moment, all he could think about was Ding Ge.
I couldn't help but think that if I really died on this night, I would never see Ding Ge again.
The thought of this throbbing in my heart made me wish I could see her right away!
