At the time of the divorce, the judge awarded Jiang Ke to her mother because her father was a gambler, and the house naturally belonged to them.

Jiang Ke's father often hangs out in the house of bad friends and becomes a complete rotten person.

The oldest old street in the town is surrounded by stores selling goods. When you are about to reach an intersection, you will see a small courtyard when you go down a slope on the right hand side of the road.

Because it had rained in the morning, there was still some water in the yard, so I carefully supported Jiang.

As soon as I walked to the door of the small courtyard, a woman in her forties carried a basin of sewage and poured it into the small ditch beside the courtyard.

When she was about to walk back, she glanced at Jiang Ke and me, then froze and stopped.

Jiang Ke took two steps forward and forced out a forced smile, "Mom."

The woman was still dazed, but when she heard the cry, her expression suddenly changed.

He came forward directly and dragged Jiang Ke towards the other side of the yard.

"Aunt."

Jiang Ke staggered and almost fell to the ground. I quickly chased after her and supported her on the other side.

"Why are you coming back? Didn't you tell me not to come back if nothing happened?" Jiang Ke's mother looked at her with disgust.

"I, I just want to come back and see you." Jiang Ke seemed a little at a loss when faced with her mother's questioning.

"Look? What's there to see? As long as you don't come back, that's the best thing for me!"

"Mom! What are you doing? I want to eat an apple!" The crisp voice of another little girl came from the yard.

The voice is full of liveliness.

"Hey! It's coming, it's coming." Jiang Ke's mother tilted her head and replied loudly, then turned her head and said fiercely towards Jiang Ke: "Hurry up and don't let your sister see you."

With that said, without looking at Jiang Ke again, he walked towards the courtyard with the basin in hand, and closed the courtyard door directly when he returned.

There was also the sound of locks being locked inside.

"Mom, why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"

"There have been a lot of wild cats and dogs outside recently. What should I do if they sneak in and steal food?"

"Cat? Cats are very cute!"

"Those stray cats outside are full of fleas. Don't even think about it. I won't let you keep these things."

"What should I do if my dad comes back later?"

"He's such a big man, doesn't he know how to ask us to open the door?"

The sound gradually disappeared.

I looked at Jiang Ke with some worry. It turned out that this was Jiang Ke's mother.

"Let's go." She and I stood by the yard and listened for a while, with a relaxed smile on her face.

I slowly walked back with her. The pull her mother had just made made Jiang Ke's whole arm black and blue, which made me feel heartbroken.

We did not return the same way we came, but took another old path.

Jiang Ke introduced me to the elementary school she attended here, which had been abandoned for many years, and the middle school, which had been rebuilt and became better and better.

There is also the bridge she must have passed when returning to her hometown.

An old man was lying on the bridge. He was wearing black clothes that had no color and had been turned into rags.

Even on the wet grass, he was sleeping happily. There were some wine bottles on hand. The old man smelled very bad of alcohol.

Jiang Ke stood and watched with a smile for a while, then stuffed all the money he had into the empty wine bottle in the old man's arms.

It turns out that this is Jiang Ke's father.

"Let's go back." Jiang Ke raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, "Stars, my ashes will be scattered in this river. This river is called Yulin River."
