When facing the issue of time and death, people's emotions are complicated. Xiaoya's family all know that Amu died of old age. They also know that Amu is happy.
But the sadness is real.
I often visit Amu. The three of us would sit in front of Amu’s grave and drink wine all night long.
Xiaoya will also come to see Amu, because Xiaoya remembers Amu’s birthday and Amo’s death anniversary.
Every time I come to Xiaoya, I feel particularly sad. Song Lin stays with her silently without speaking.
Time will always erase all traces. Amu and Lili in the cemetery seem to be things that time cannot erase.
The days slowly returned to calm. This time, the calm was so calm that I was at a loss.
Without Amu's presence, Dahei and I would drink in silence most of the time. A lot of laughter and laughter would be missing.
Pidan always finds some fun things to amuse me. She was adopted by Xiaoya. Because since I told Ling'er to go to Qingsong Ridge to find Day Rat, Ling'er never came back.
"Pi Dan, please remember. You are the third child in this family." This was the first sentence Xiaoya said when she took Pi Dan home.
Hearing this sentence, my calm heart became less peaceful again. I looked at this girl in her 20s. I had been with her for 16 years.
The greenness between her eyebrows has faded and become mature and charming. But what remains unchanged is her love for me.
No matter how busy or tired Xiaoya is, there is one thing she will do every week.
Just help me take a bath seriously, then put it on the desk and measure it with a ruler to check the progress of my pen holding.
For 16 years, Xiaoya didn't have any irritation about this matter at all. Every time she was carried out so meticulously.
"Liu Liu, I will wait until you hold the pen and write down what you want to say to me." Every time Xiaoya said this sentence, she was extra confident.
It is also because of this sentence that I have not given up practicing this thing for more than ten years. The pencil Xiaoya sharpened for me has become a bit worn after more than ten years of baptism.
In order to preserve it well, every time I take it out to practice, I will put a towel under my turtle claws.
Because now I can sometimes lift the pencil slowly. Although it is not stable, this is the proof of time.
Not only has my life become peaceful, but the entire Jianghai City has become peaceful. In my perception, it seems that there is no aura in the entire Jianghai City.
That earth-shattering tsunami has become a story that adults tell their children.
I never saw the ant nest again, nor did any crisis come. The mouse's observation also did not find anyone wearing a bracelet appearing in Jianghai City.
but!
No matter how much time has passed, my yearning for Sister Snake has not become indifferent but has become more and more serious.
This feeling is just like Lili said to me and the sea that night with rat poison in her mouth,
You can't stop me!
One day when I was pretending to be dead, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I quickly turned my head and looked at the row of tooth marks.
It keeps turning red. It even absorbs power from my body.
I didn't hesitate, I gave it all the energy in my body. As I kept pouring energy, the red color began to slowly disappear.
I don't know what this means. An idea suddenly came into my mind
"This is Sister Snake looking for me!"
Sure enough, when I had this idea, the row of tooth marks lit up again.
…
Xiaoya gave birth to three children, one boy and two girls. The appearance of the three children did not bring much pressure to the family. Instead, it brought more joy and laughter.
The eldest son's name is Song Yimu, the second daughter's name is Song Lili, and the younger daughter's name is Song Xin.
Because of Song Lin's hard work over the years, I have seen it all, working day and night, without sleep.
He fulfilled what he said when he got married, Liya, I will be good to you in this life.
But the human world is very complicated. When Song Lin was 40 years old, a family crisis occurred.
Song Lin seemed to have fallen into a scam. To put it bluntly, the savings of several generations were lost.
But at that time, the education expenses for the three children and the pension expenses for Song Lin and Xiaoya's parents were astronomical figures for this family.
Xiaoya and Song Lin are ordinary people no matter what. They have no cheats or cheats.
It’s just their love story that made me know what it means to be faithful until death. Xiaoya didn’t complain at all from beginning to end. Song Lin wouldn’t reveal his final unbearable feelings as an adult at home.
But I know that Xiaoya and Song Lin's lives are almost on the verge of collapse.
They are constantly compressing their living needs just to save some money so that their children can study and the elderly can take care of themselves.
Xiaoya’s parents took me and preserved egg home for a few days. The purpose was really simple. Because preserved egg and I spent a lot of money.
I saw with my own eyes that the balance on Song Lin's phone was only 6 yuan, while Xiaoya's was only 21 yuan.
My mind, which had been calm for many years, changed during that time.
No matter whether you are a human or a turtle, everything cannot escape the word money.
I asked a group of mice to steal a few gold bars and put them in Xiaoya's bedroom.
Xiaoya and Song Ling saw a few gold bars and hesitated for a long time. Xiaoya, who had been silent in the end, suddenly laughed. She looked at me. Xiaoya looked very similar to when his mother bought me back more than ten years ago.
"This is wrong, Liuliu. This is stealing. We must be kind and upright people."
This is Xiaoya, and this is the person I am willing to accompany! Xiaoya’s ordinary half life has taught me what truth, kindness and beauty are!
That night I lay on the window sill and pretended to be dead. I heard the chat between Xiaoya and Song Ling. Xiaoya decided to sell the ancient coin. Song Lin disagreed. It seemed that the two had been married for more than 10 years and had their first dispute.
.
I know that both of them are thinking about each other. I am very anxious.
At this time, Pi Dan came to me stupidly and said something unprecedented to me.
"Brother Six, I know how to make money."
"Go ahead and play, don't make trouble, I've been troubled lately. Didn't you see that your sister, Xiaoya, doesn't even want the gold bars?" When I said this, Pidan was not annoyed, but there was a hint of cunning in the cat's eyes.
"No, Sixth Brother, your method is not very effective. My method is guaranteed to work."
"What's the best way to tell it?" I replied subconsciously, because Pi Dan has been really stupid for so many years.
"Like winning a lottery ticket." Pi Dan said it casually, but to my ears it was different.
I was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.
"Do you know which lottery ticket will win?"
Pidan looked at me with a smile. There seemed to be a sentence in the cat eyes.
"How about Sixth Brother, I'm pretty cool, right?"
