She's like a lifesaver

When I went there, I felt like strangers, but when I came back, I felt like sisters. This is the most pertinent evaluation of the change in the relationship between Ye Yishu and Lu Tingxin by the students who went to the frontier to condolences.

No one knew the reason, but after the performance, they saw them standing and talking with a man with a slightly stiff walking posture.

When they left, that person gave them both a bullet.

I heard that it was taken out of his body when he could still hold a gun.

Once, they were only inches from his heart.

--------

On the way back, Ye Yishu's mind was full of He Xiang seeing himself happy, screaming, jumping, being hugged by her, all the beautiful pictures she could think of.

However, when she really came home, there was no such enthusiasm to greet her, only Uncle He Si's irrefutable "He Si must come home with us!"

"Didn't you say before that it's okay to return it to me? Didn't the property left by her parents belong to you? Why did you suddenly go back on it?" Ye Yishu couldn't suppress his anger in his tense voice.

Uncle He Si dared not speak.

Ye's mother pulled Ye Yishu aside and explained in a low voice, "The story of Ah Si's injury has been reported back to the village. The villagers have scolded this family severely, saying that they don't care about their family, are ungrateful, and not only occupy He Si's parents' property, And sold her to strangers, I heard that they are now too scolded to go home."

"So they plan to take Ah Li back as a shield?"

"The real purpose must be this way, but if they insist that they are worried about Ah Si living with outsiders, then we have no way to refute it. In the end, we have nothing to do with Ah Si."

"Mom, it doesn't matter if you say it's okay, you can watch them take Ah Li into the fire pit? You understand better than me what that family looks like."

Mother Ye sighed, unable to bear it, "Yi Shu, in front of outsiders who don't understand the truth, we don't take advantage of legal principles or human feelings. It is unlikely that we want to keep her under Uncle A Si's insistence."

Ye Yishu didn't speak, she understood all these reasons, but she still wanted to fight for it.

Also for myself...

Ye Yishu walked back, stood in front of Uncle He Si, who was much shorter than him, and lowered his posture, "How can you let me keep He Si?"

Uncle He Si was firm, "No matter what, He Si must go home with me!"

"What if I don't?"

"Then go through the legal process!"

Ye Yishu tightened his hand holding the backpack, his eyes were cold, "How dare you."

Uncle He Si, who was strong on the outside but on the inside, was easily frightened by Ye Yishu and fell down on the sofa.

Ye Yishu stepped forward slowly, his quiet eyes locked on the terrified eyes of Uncle He Ni, "You can't even teach your own daughter well, why should you snatch her from me? You want her to become as incompetent as you, Cowardly, bullying? Or do you want her to be like your daughter, who loves vanity at a young age and has complicated thoughts? Are you worthy of living with her?"

Being scolded mercilessly by the juniors, even a man would have a little temper.

Uncle He Si straightened his back and paused every word, "He Si can only go home with me!"

"Crack!" The sound of bone dislocation suddenly appeared along with Uncle He Si's painful scream, tearing apart the tense atmosphere of the confrontation between the two sides.

Ye's father and Ye's mother privately felt that Ye Yishu had done the right thing, but they had to stop him from a human standpoint.

"Yishu, don't be impulsive." Father Ye said without any blame.

Ye Yishu smiled, and retreated with Ye's mother's strength, "I'm not impulsive, I've been wanting to do it since I entered the door, I feel very uncomfortable when this person looks comfortable."

"Yishu!" Ye Mu said in a deep voice, "Don't block the last room for maneuver."

Ye Yishu lowered his head and looked at the backpack, "Mom, there is no room for change. This kind of person would rather drag his niece into their life and watch her be wronged than allow himself to be hurt a little. They The most realistic and cold-blooded."

Mother Ye was speechless, how could she not think of these things, she just didn't want to speak out to provoke Ye Yishu.

"Mom, I went up to see Ah Si and brought her a lot of delicious food." Ye Yishu smiled, and there was no perfunctory in the smile, let alone sadness.

Mother Ye panicked and nodded reluctantly, "Go, I will deal with the rest with your father."

"Thank you mom."

"You... Hey, go, Ah Si has a stomachache these two days, don't give her something too strong."

"it is good."

In the process of going upstairs, Ye Yishu walked very slowly, with various assumptions emerging in his mind.

Did he seem to miss her?

Do you blame her for leaving for six days?

Does He Ruzhi know her uncle's plan?

Got it, will she be sad?

Sad, what will she do?

......

Her mind was so confused that Ye Yishu forgot to adjust her expression and emotions, so that after six days of separation, she and He Siliza didn't smile at all when they met again.

He Si was sitting by the wall outside the bedroom, and the rabbit was sitting with her, with drooping ears, looking very unhappy, which was completely different from He Si's bright smile.

As soon as He Si saw Ye Yishu, he immediately got up, ran to hug her, and babbled to express his happiness.

Ye Yishu couldn't smile, hung the backpack on his shoulder, bent over to pick up He Bi, and walked towards the bedroom.

Walking to the door, He Ru patted Ye Yishu on the shoulder, and his eyes fell on the rabbit at the door.

Ye Yishu understood, bent down holding He Bi, waited for her to catch the rabbit ears, picked it up, and continued to walk into the bedroom.

After being away for a few days, the smell of He Ni in the bedroom became clear again, and Ye Yishu could see what He Ni had left behind with a casual glance.

Childish gadgets make this neat and lifeless bedroom full of childishness.

I don't know when it started, but this little villain who broke in with a high profile has actually entered the minutiae of Ye Yishu's life.

Ye Yishu walked to the bed with He Si in his arms, first put her on the bed with the rabbit, then took off his shoes and sat opposite them.

Ye Yishu was talking to He Xiang while taking snacks from his backpack.

Looks as usual.

"Ah Si, when I'm not around, are you good?"

He Si crossed his legs, hugged the rabbit tightly, nodded heavily, "Ah!"

"Is it cold to sleep at night?"

He Si shook his head violently, "Ah!!"

"did you miss me?"

He Ru's tense face relaxed, and he nodded with a smile, "Ah..."

"Miss me, or the snacks I brought you?"

He Ruo was unhappy, grabbed the rabbit's paw and poked Xia Ye Yishu's cheek, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The soft touch of the rabbit's paws made Ye Yishu's suppressed emotions approach the limit.

Ye Yishu lowered his head in panic, opened a piece of candy, and brought it to He Ru's mouth.

He Ru opened his mouth and took it in happily.

No matter how ordinary toffee is, it seems to have the expression of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Ye Yishu looked at her, his sour eyes gradually blurred He Xiang.

The harder you try, the less you can see clearly.

When there was only a mist in sight, something suddenly pressed down on Ye Yishu's shoulder, followed by the familiar smell of He Ru, and finally... the sweet toffee in his mouth.

He Ru sent her favorite toffee to Ye Yishu's mouth.

This is the most precious and innocent gift of children.

He Ru lay in Ye Yishu's arms, hugged her, and patted Ye Yishu's back lightly with his palms.

"Ah...ah..."

He seems to be comforting Ye Yishu in his own way.

She always does.

Some emotions are out of control.

Ye Yishu didn't want to control either.

He seemed to be affected, and his smile went downhill.

When the matter downstairs came to a conclusion, and when Ye's mother came up to tell the result, He Xiang was already crying in Ye Yishu's arms.

Ye Yishu's eyes were red, and she didn't know what else to do except telling He Si to "don't cry" over and over again.

Seeing Ye Mu, Ye Yishu saw the savior, and hurriedly called her, "Mom, help me, Ah Si has been crying."

Ye Yishu walked in and smiled wryly, "You can't even coax me, where can I find a way?"

Ye Yishu was stunned.

That seems to be the case.

Ye Yishu closed her eyes tightly, shook her head, not to let her bad mood continue to disturb her reunion with He Xiang.

Not long after, Ye Yishu opened his eyes, with a smile in his eyes, and his tone was brisk, "Ah Si, Ah Si, do you want to eat ice cream?"

He Xiang stopped crying, awkwardly got up from Ye Yishu's arms, wiped his eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Huh?"

Ye Yishu bent down and leaned closer, "Ice cream, don't you want to eat it? I'll take you there."

Before He Ru could speak, Mother Ye raised her first objection, "Yi Shu, even if she is in good health, Ah Li can't eat ice cream in this season, not to mention she is still having stomach problems, she will definitely get sick if she eats it."

Ye Yishu supported He Si with both hands, raised his head and looked at Ye Mu, "If she is sick, she can stay for a few more days."

A sentence with a smile made Ye Mu's bad mood collapse.

Mother Ye held her breath and tried to make her voice sound more normal, "Yisu, you can't hurt her just to stay. How is this different from what they do?"

"Then tell me a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Mother Ye couldn't tell.

If so, why would they hold back to He Xiang's uncle downstairs.

"You can't come up with a solution, it doesn't matter, I said, I said, but you don't let me do it, then why don't we both stop talking, let's let him choose, see if she is willing."

"Yishu..." Mother Ye didn't know how to persuade her.

Let He Si choose, and He Si will definitely try his best to stay. There is no such thing as whether he wants to or not.

When the two were in a stalemate, He Ru suddenly hugged Ye Yishu, turned his head and looked at Yemu defensively, and his breathing was much heavier than before.

Mother Ye could understand He Ni's mood, she was afraid that she would scold Ye Yishu.

Mother Ye shook her head helplessly, "I really don't know what kind of debt you two owed each other in your previous life, and you have always made it so hard to part with each other in this life."

Ye Yishu hugged He Si back and dragged him up, "I don't know."

Ye Yishu's perfunctory answer made Ye's mother suffocate, "You can't even think about taking Ah Si to eat ice cream!"

Ye Yishu smiled and pinched He Xiang's chubby cheeks, "Don't worry, I just think about it, if I really eat it, I will warm it up and give it to her."

"You!" Warm ice cream?Can it still be eaten? !

"Mom." Ye Yishu pressed the back of He Xiang's head, let her lie on his shoulder, and then looked at Ye Mu with a normal expression, "Is the time agreed?"

"Okay, tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

"Yishu, let your dad cook something delicious tonight, just take it, just take it..."

Mother Ye felt uncomfortable and couldn't continue, Ye Yishu made a decision for her, "It's okay, just do as usual, don't let her sleep badly on the last night."

"...Then you should also pay attention."

"Ah."

After Ye's mother left, Ye Yishu returned to normal, and sat on the bed with He Si to eat, play, and then sleep.

Throughout the night, Ye Yishu hardly closed his eyes, his mind was full of memories of the time when He Xiang came to her.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, mixed flavors, in the end, they all converge into separate bitterness.

At six o'clock in the morning, Ye Yishu got up as usual and asked He Ru to eat.

After dinner, the two went for a walk in the community and then went home.

Uncle He Si is already waiting at home.

The moment Ye Yishu saw him, all the nerves in Ye Yishu's body became defensive, but He Sian dragged her stiffly up the stairs as if nothing happened.

There was no one else around the whole time.

Ye Yishu vaguely understood, how could he have known what was going to happen next, how early?It may be earlier than her, and the process of seeing is more complete than her.

But ever since they met, He seemed to have shown no abnormality.

He Ru pulled Ye Yishu to the bedroom, let her sit by the bed, and then took out his small bag to put things in it.

Not much, leftover candy, half-written pencils, crumpled Chinese character books, masks, gloves, scarves, and... collar flowers.

"Ah Si, do you want me to help you?" Ye Yishu asked, his dry voice could hardly utter such a simple sentence.

He Xiang was folding the scarf, when he heard Ye Yishu's words, he turned around and shook his head.

He Xi was still laughing, foolishly, as if he didn't know that he would never come back after leaving.

Ye Yishu couldn't take it anymore, he leaned back on the bed, covered his eyes with the back of his hands and remained silent.

He Ruo packed his things, climbed onto the bed, lay beside Ye Yishu, and patted her on the shoulder, "Ah..."

A simple "ah" is as soft as He Bi's palm, which may not compare to other people's thousands of words and delicate words, but it really pierced into Ye Yishu's heart.

The pain came on sharply, followed by a slow, lingering pain that made her unable to breathe.

"Yishu, I'm leaving." Mother Ye reminded who walked to the door for some unknown reason.

Ye Yishu moved his arms, but did not move away, "Mom, you take Ah Si out first, and I will wash my face."

"it is good."

Mother Ye walked in.

He Ru took the initiative to climb out of bed, put his backpack on his back and put his hand into Ye Mu's palm.

The distance from the bedside to the door is very short, so it seems like you step back and look back three times.

Walking to the door, He Ru raised his head and shook Mother Ye's hand.

Mother Ye lowered her head, He Ru had a bright smile on her face, her big eyes filled with tears.

I may not even know this contrast, but Mother Ye sees it heartbroken.

Not long ago, they were still planning how to live this year, why did they have to send her away in person?

If I had known that the result would be like this, shouldn't I have kept her in the first place?

When He Si left like this, it was not only the two little sisters who missed each other, but also many strangers who had met and liked He Si.

In order to make Mother Ye feel not sad, He Ru tilted his head and tried to wink at her, who knew that just by tilting his head, tears flowed from his eyes.

He Ru hastily withdrew his hand, and kept wiping his eyes with both hands.

Mother Ye was infected by the emotion that He seemed to be calm but sadder than ever, and she wiped away tears with her.

When they walked downstairs, the two were more embarrassed than the other.

Uncle He Si was indifferent to this, seeing He Si walking over and walking away with her upper arm in his hand, he only took one step before hearing Ye Yishu's cold words, "Let go."

Ye Yishu's voice has neither ups and downs nor temperature, but it can make people feel that she is very angry.

Uncle He Si's goal of taking He Si away has been achieved, there is no need to cause trouble for herself, so Ye Yishu let go of He Si immediately when Ye Yishu called out.

Without restraint, He Ru immediately ran to hide behind Mother Ye, his arms trembling.

Uncle He Si used all his strength just now, and his grasp hurt her very much.

Ye Yishu walked down quickly, squatted beside He Si, and rubbed her arms for her.

Ye Yishu lowered his head, He Shi also lowered his head, one did it seriously, the other watched seriously.

They often do this interaction, every time He Xiang is so happy, today, the two have no communication, let alone hear He Xiang's laughter.

After confirming that He Xiang's arm was no longer hurting, Ye Yishu stood up, turned her body sideways, took her hand and put it under the down jacket.

"Ah Si, it's done." Ye Yishu said.

"Ah!" He Ru was overjoyed, clutching Ye Yishu's shirt tightly.

Without another word, the two left the house one after the other.

Father Ye, Father Ye and He Si's uncle followed behind.

There is a long way to go from the family area to the station, Ye Yishu is always looking ahead, He Ru is always looking at her.

They walked for a full half an hour in a ten-minute journey.

As soon as they arrived at the station, a green car stopped in front of the two of them.

Ye Yishu glanced at him, but didn't respond.

Uncle He Si quickly walked up to He Si, holding her arm and getting ready to get into the car.

Ye Yishu calmly glanced at Uncle He Si's hand, and the latter let go like an electric shock, and explained in a panic, "This bus can go to the bus station."

There are buses back to the county at the bus station.

When you arrive at the county seat, take another urban and rural bus.

The end point is He Xiang's previous home.

"Wait for the next trip." Ye Yishu said.

When the words fell, He Si suddenly let go of Ye Yishu, and quickly ran into the car. Uncle He Si also followed after seeing this, urging the driver to drive, "Go! Go!"

When Ye Yishu couldn't react, the car drove away slowly.

On the rear window, He Ruo leaned on it and smiled at Ye Yishu, no different from usual.

When he was about to lose sight of Ye Yishu's expression, He Ruo violently waved at Ye Yishu.

The smile that He Ruo had been hanging on his face disappeared, followed by a hoarse shout, "Ah! Ah!"

do not go!

She don't go!

He Ru climbed down from the chair, ran to the car door and slapped it hard.

The conductor was taken aback and shouted loudly, "What are you doing?! Parents, hurry up!"

Uncle He Si lost face, pulled He Si back vigorously and pressed him on the seat, threatening, "If you dare to move again, I'll see how I deal with you!"

Why didn't listen, twisted his body to leave.

Uncle He Si got angry and slapped He Si on the face.

He Si covered his face in disbelief, tears welling in his eyes.

In her memory, she was coaxed and never beaten.

"Ah! Ah!" He Si screamed, punching and kicking his uncle.

Uncle He Si still wanted to do something, but after being pointed at by the people in the car a few times, he endured it and let He Si vent on him.

After playing enough, He Xiang still wants to get out of the car.

When the car arrived at the station, He Ruo squeezed out of the crowd and stood on the platform to look around.

She is unfamiliar with everything around her, and the people are also unfamiliar. All the roads look the same, and she can't find which one is the way she came here.

Soon, He seemed to be aware of his situation, and grabbed the shoulder strap of his schoolbag with both hands and returned to the car.

On the way back, He Ruo didn't make a fuss anymore, just sat quietly on the seat in a daze with his backpack in his arms.

After tossing and turning for two and a half hours, He Ru returned to the home she should be familiar with but knew nothing about.

He Shushan and her mother stood at the door.

The mother still wanted to pretend, but He Shushan simply dismissed it, "I thought they were so capable, and they didn't just watch you be taken away in the end."

He Ruo didn't say a word, holding his backpack tightly, immersed in the small world he wove for himself.

The mother gave He Shushan a gouged look, walked up to He Si, and said with a smile, "Xiao Si, will Auntie take you to the room?"

He Si was still silent, but obediently followed her aunt's pace and walked inside.

After going up three floors, my aunt stopped, pointed to a closed door and said, "From now on, you will live here."

He Ruo looked up, without any emotional ups and downs.

Aunt held He Si's shoulders and pushed her to the door.

"Crack!"

The door opened, and behind it was the dazzling sunlight.

He seemed to take the initiative to walk in.

I left again after 14 years.

As an adult, she breaks free and meets the person she most wants to see in an impossible place.

For the rest of her life, her happiness and sorrows were all related to this person.
