Qiu Mu

It seems to be back to the world before the age of ten, where you can't speak, you can't listen, you can only watch.

Ling Xia kept crossing his arms, buried his head in his arms.Pei Zhen just sat quietly by the side, looking at the helpless child in fear. She was holding the broken hearing aid in her hand, feeling a little weak.

The sad tears had already dried up, and a gust of wind blew by, Ling Xia finally raised his head, took off his coat, and put it back on Pei Zhen.

Ling Xia looked at Pei Zhen, but didn't speak, Pei Zhen knew that Ling Xia wanted to tell her, put on her clothes, don't get cold.

It's not that Ling Xia can't speak. Before she got hearing aids, she thought she was deaf and dumb. In a world without sound, she didn't know how to speak. She couldn't even hear her own voice. How could she express herself with words? , not to mention that she has no object to express at all.

When she was in the orphanage, she only used a pen to write down what she wanted to say when she was communicating with Ling Ling, and just like that, she wrote down the conversation between them on page after page with Ling Ling. Xia still keeps these precious childhood memories.

Pei Zhen seemed to be able to read her mood very well. He just stayed by the side without saying a word, but kept her in his arms with his arms, patted her on the shoulder, and told her with caring eyes, don't be afraid, there is I am here.

Ling Xia curled up in Pei Zhen's arms, as if relying on the warmth of his own relatives, afraid that Pei Zhen would worry about him, he took out the album and pencils from his bag, and wrote:

"I'm an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage. I'm deaf in my left ear, and I can barely hear with a hearing aid in my right ear." Ling Xia put the finished sentence in front of Pei Zhen's eyes. After Pei Zhen read it, his brows slightly frowned. She didn't expect Ling Xia to have such an experience, she glanced at Ling Xia, stretched out her hand, and Ling Xia handed her the album.

Taking the pen, Pei Zhen drew a flower on the album and gave it to Ling Xia.

It was a sunflower with a smiling face, facing the sun and swaying in the wind as strong as a smiling face.The flower language of sunflower means admiration, brilliance, and arrogance, admiration, but it is also warm and resistant to drought. Ling Xia knows the meaning of Pei Zhen's painting of a sunflower.

Ling Xia finally showed a smiling face, looked at Pei Zhen, Pei Zhen thought for a while, took the drawing paper again, drew another calla lily next to it, and wrote beside it:

Sunflower among thorns, gorgeous bloom, warm and beautiful

Alocasia in the dust, blooming in a low-key manner, thin and beautiful

Holding the painting like a baby, Ling Xia looked at Pei Zhen with a smile, and the previous gloomy mood was swept away.Pei Zhen pampered Ling Xia, she could always think of some things, some people, she understood the pain in Ling Xia's heart, her difficulty, looking at her, she couldn't help but want to care and protect her.

The night view of the moat is always beautiful and enchanting. Under the shelter of the night, the neon lights unscrupulously flaunt their light, trying hard not to let the willow leaves, ancient bridges, and flowing water by the river be submerged in this night.

Ling Xia and Pei Zhen sat like this in the cool night, worried that Ling Xia would be unwell from being splashed with alcohol, Pei Zhen also quickly took Ling Xia away from the river.

The car slowly drove into a quiet old residential area, found a place to park the car, Pei Zhen wanted to send Ling Xia back, but Ling Xia waved his hand to let Pei Zhen go back, and walked into the narrow alley by himself go.

Looking at Ling Xia's lonely back, Pei Zhen felt really distressed, and hoped that she would always be like the sunflower she painted, growing up against the sun, living strong, and living wonderfully.

This old residential area is full of very old houses. There are quite a few old houses like Suzhou. Most of these old buildings without the characteristics of Soviet-style houses will be acquired by the government and demolished to give them a new look.

Pei Zhen can imagine the living conditions of Ling Xia. An orphan, he is just a real estate assistant with a meager income, so what does he depend on to make ends meet.

Perhaps one day, there will be a person who will illuminate the dark path ahead for Ling Xia.

Maybe that person will hold Ling Xia's hand, give her countless warmth, and lead her out of her own world.

Pei Zhen didn't get into the car until he could no longer see Ling Xia's shadow, sighed slightly, and started the car.

The road at night is not as congested as the city during the day, and it is also less noisy. Pei Zhen turned on the light music.

At this time, the phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, Pei Zhen turned off the music.

"Qing Mo." Pei Zhen picked it up with her earphones.

"When are you coming back? We're already home." Lin Qingmo's voice rang on the other end of the phone. Pei Zhen glanced at the time and said, "I'm on my way, and I'll be home in a while."

"Well, drive carefully, come back and talk."

"Well, bye~~"

After hanging up the phone, he turned on the music again, and unconsciously slowed down the speed of the car. Thinking of the scene where Xia Weian changed Lin Qingmo's wine, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Since the ten-year agreement and 20-year relationship cannot be brought to an end, let yourself continue the splendor of the ellipsis.

The car slowly drove into a slightly upscale residential area, the moonlight fell through the gloomy trees, looking weak, as if far away from the busy city, only the sound of falling leaves was quiet.

As soon as she got out of the car door, she saw a figure lit up in the kitchen, and she started cooking again.

The smell of the meal was fragrant, Pei Zhen put down the keys in his hand, and saw Lin Xiaoshang sitting in front of the TV, watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf seriously, putting away her bag and coat.

When Lin Xiaoxiang heard the sound, she turned her head and looked at Pei Zhen blankly, obviously a little at a loss for this strange woman who suddenly appeared.

"Xiaoxiang woke up?" Pei Zhen walked to Lin Xiaosuo with a smile on her face. Lin Xiaosuo nodded. In a few years, Lin Xiaosuo has become a big girl. In the past seven years, Lin Qingmo's career and family children Taking this into consideration, it is already not easy, the hard work in the middle, no one else knows, but she knows it best.

Compared with Lin Xiaosou a few years ago, she is much quieter now, she doesn't mess around, doesn't make noise, and just sits and watches cartoons, and just sits there very quietly.Perhaps she experienced family changes that made her like this.

Pei Zhen got up from Lin Xiaoshang's side and walked towards the kitchen. Before he walked in, he could always hear laughter coming from inside.

"Let me try this." Xia Weian picked up a piece of mapo tofu excitedly with chopsticks, "Wow, it's really delicious, the spicy is just right, and the tofu is tender just right." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweetness in her mouth tasty.

"Don't steal food, bring it to the table first." Lin Qingmo ordered, Xia Wei'an pouted, picked up the plate obediently, and said, "I haven't eaten enough tonight, I'm already hungry after a full stomach."

"You have to endure the hunger, and we have to wait for Pei Zhen to come back to eat together." Lin Qingmo completely ignored Xia Weian's coquettishness.

"Okay, okay, I know you've always been thinking about your good sister, hey, I only see the old people laughing, but not the new ones hungry." Xia Wei'an twisted her body and sang while walking while holding the plate.

"Xia Wei'an, please put away your yin and yang singing voice, it's okay to scare me, I'm afraid you will scare my precious daughter." Lin Qingmo said to Xia Wei'an while busy with the matter at hand.

"Dear Mr. Lin, you actually despise me." Xia Wei'an pretended to hold Lin Qingmo from behind with a pitiful tone. Lin Qingmo was not moved at all, but said calmly: "Miss Xia, please keep the kitchen The safety of the area, can you not disturb me, go to the living room to accompany the baby, and call to ask if Pei Zhen is home?"

"Okay, Xia Weian respectfully obeys the Queen's order, and immediately contact Queen Pei." Xia Weian obediently agreed, and was about to walk out of the kitchen to get Nianhua.

Seeing this scene, it seems to have returned to the scene in the dormitory on campus ten years ago.

The same goes for her, playing with her, cooking, and studying recipes.

Seeing that Xia Wei'an was about to make a call, Pei Zhen said, "I've been lured back by your fans a long time ago, so I don't need to make a phone call." Turning her head, she said, "Hey, sister Pei, you are back, Queen Mo, Queen Pei is back."

"Queen Pei? Hehe, are we planning to dominate the three queens?" Pei Zhen said with a smile, then took a closer look, and said, "I just came back and guessed that you are in the kitchen, do you need my help?" Pei Zhen finished speaking She went up to look, and she was indeed cooking Three Cup Chicken. Her taste hadn't changed at all, except that she liked to eat Sichuan and Hunan dishes, and her favorite Three Cup Chicken hadn't changed for many years.

"Weian, go and set the bowls and chopsticks, Pei Zhen, come here and pass me the soup." Lin Qingmo said, without stopping for a moment, keeping his eyes on the pot, Pei Zhen didn't Talk, go up and help.

"Baby, let's eat." Xia Wei'an went to the living room and called Lin Xiaosang with a smile. Lin Xiaosang didn't speak or smile. Hearing Xia Weian's voice, he turned off the TV calmly and was about to go to the living room.Seeing Lin Xiaosang like this, Xia Wei'an was a little bit stuck, but she still stepped forward and clapped her hands, saying, "Baby, let Auntie Wei'an hug you, see how much our baby has gotten heavier?"

Lin Xiaoxiang didn't move, just looked at Xia Wei'an, there was no Auntie Wei'an who took her to find her mommy, bought her ice cream, or rode a horse for her in her memory, but only what her grandparents said to her, She separated her father and mother, she was a bad person, if it wasn't for her, she wouldn't need to go to such a far place, all people she didn't know, all strange faces, and a language she didn't understand.

Lin Qingmo and Pei Zhen went to the living room and saw Xia Wei'an and Lin Xiaosang's. Lin Qingmo paused, pulled Pei Zhen, and said to Lin Xiaosang, "Baby, this is Mommy's good friend. Aunt Pei." Lin Qingmo said with a smile, but Lin Xiaosou nodded without smiling, and called Pei Zhen very politely, "Aunt Pei."

"Good~" Pei Zhen patted Lin Xiaosou's head, then turned to see Lin Qingmo holding Xia Wei'an's hand, soothing her heart that was just wet by Lin Xiaosou with comforting eyes.Lin Qingmo's carefulness and caring made Pei Zhen see it and feel pain in her heart. She knew that Lin Xiaosou was so cute and lively back then. If it wasn't for the divorce, why would she be like this.

"Come and eat." Pei Zhen said with a smile.

Xia Wei'an knew that Lin Xiaoshang was rejecting her now, and she didn't want Lin Qingmo to make things difficult, and even more so, she didn't want Lin Qingmo to worry, she didn't show any emotion, and she still tried her best to enliven the atmosphere at the dinner table.

Lin Qingmo saw everything in her eyes, and she hoped that time would slowly let her daughter feel relieved. She knew that all this was because she was bewitched by her grandparents during those days abroad.

The warmth of a family is nothing more than that.To be able to eat at the same table with Lin Qingmo and live in such a house, even if she already has a lover, what Pei Zhen desires so much can be forever.

Even if it won't always be like this, I still like the warmth at this moment.

It seems that today's night is extraordinarily quiet, and the quiet heart is a little restless.

Li Jing took out a bottle of red wine, opened it and poured himself a glass, swirling the wine glass, took a sip, still unable to calm down.Closing his eyes, the moment Ling Xia was terrified and bewildered couldn't get out of his mind, he always felt that he was holding his breath and had nowhere to vent, so he shook the red wine in the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Turning on the computer, I found that I had received an email from Ling Xia, the content was to ask for leave tomorrow and to get a hearing aid.Click the mouse and type the word "Approve".

Looking at the email from Ling Xia, Li Jing suddenly had an idea, flipped through the webpage quickly, carefully searched for what she wanted, and looked at the product introduction.Finally, after two hours of research, they settled on one, took out their mobile phone, and dialed.

"I took a picture of a Siemens hearing aid in your store, and I want you to send it to A Real Estate Co., Ltd. at the earliest tomorrow morning." Li Jing said while holding the phone.

"Out of stock? Suzhou Ximen Company is located in the new district. It shouldn't be difficult to get the goods. You can find a way by yourself."

"Then I don't care. I specifically picked out the store in Suzhou, but you actually told me it was out of stock."

"Anyway, I'll get the goods tomorrow."

"I'll double the price."

"three times."

"Four times.."

"Okay, thank you." After hanging up the phone, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

It was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night when the hearing aid was set, but Li Jing didn't feel sleepy at all. He habitually opened Weibo and wanted to write something, but he couldn't type a word with his fingers on the keyboard.

Flipping through it casually, I saw the Weibo of "One Degree Below Minus". I used to always go to her Weibo when I was completely sleepy. Reading her articles always calmed my heart, and I always felt that her words contained With a huge force.

One degree below zero is well-known on the Internet. Li Jing didn't like to read the Internet paragraphs, but the flashy world would always make her feel uneasy. She accidentally discovered her Weibo and found that she had many fans. Weibo The articles inside always resonate with fans.

Today, she updated again

Do you only see your own shadow when the picture freezes?

Do you only hear the sound of your own breathing when the whole world is quiet

Are you afraid of being blind, not being able to see the bright, not being able to see that person?

Did you suddenly find your soul in the collision of wine glasses?

Are you tired and don’t want to go any further and want to snuggle up and drift on the ocean

Have you suddenly discovered that there is actually one more person in your world?

Her words are always full of a touch of sadness, always able to evoke the loneliest self in the heart, the loneliness of being so cold at a high place, only the climber knows it.

Like duckweed, it has no roots, it just goes with the flow.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Jing drove to the company to check whether the hearing aids had arrived. After calling several times to urge her, she finally got the goods. She went to the personnel department to find out Ling Xia's address, and left the company in a hurry.

Parked the car, took the address in his hand, and began to search for that address. If it wasn't because he was very familiar with the land of Suzhou, it would be really difficult for Li Jing to find a private house in this deep alley.

When Li Jing found the address and looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was an independent old building with an area of ​​no more than 120 square meters. The original wooden door, the wooden boards can still faintly see some insect holes after being exposed to the sun and rain.The exposed bricks and tiles have turned dark gray. In the attic on the top floor, the dilapidated clothes rail occasionally makes the sound of being blown by the wind.

Just when Li Jing was a little amazed at such an old small building, the wooden door creaked open, Ling Xia was coming out with a bag on his shoulders, when he turned around and saw Li Jing, he opened his mouth in surprise.

"Ling Xia, are you okay?" Li Jing said to Ling Xia, Ling Xia saw Li Jing talking, but he couldn't hear anything and didn't speak.

"You don't want to talk to me? Are you angry?" Seeing that Ling Xia didn't speak, Li Jing just lowered his head, a little anxious, took a step forward, and continued: "Don't take Zhang Yan's words to heart, and don't talk to him. "

"Yesterday was my negligence. I promised you to follow me every step of the way, but in the end you were bullied by him. Ling Xia, it's because I failed as a leader. Don't you have any grudges in your heart?" Li Jing talked endlessly, she had never used such a tone to anyone, she was arrogant in her bones, even if she was criticized by her parents or told by anyone when she was a child, even if she was wrong, she never humbled herself.

But at this moment, Li Jing was very anxious, she was afraid that Ling Xia would be really angry, that Ling Xia would use her indifferent temper to face her.

"Ling Xia, why don't you stop talking?" Li Jing finally got a little anxious, and held Ling Xia's arm. Ling Xia didn't know what she was talking about, her lips were moving, she knew she was talking to her, she Knowing that she was excited, I wanted her to respond to her.

She can't hear, can't speak, she wants to answer Li Jing's words, wants to answer her words, wants her not to worry, wants her to know that she is fine, but she can't say a word, her throat can't make a sound Looking at the anxious Li Jing, Ling Xia's tears couldn't stop streaming down.

At this moment, Ling Xia is speechless, in a world without sound.

Li Jing looked at Ling Xia who couldn't stop crying, stepped forward to help her wipe her tears and said, "Don't cry!, what's the matter?" Li Jing became anxious, feeling that she had never been so mad like this moment Pass.Then he thought about it, as if he remembered something, he held Ling Xia's shoulder and said, "Can't you hear me?"

Looking at Ling Xia who was still silent, Li Jing felt that he didn't know what to do with her.Looking at a car parked next to it, with a layer of moisture on the car mirror, he had an idea, took Ling Xia's hand and walked to the side of the car, and wrote a sentence on the mirror with his fingers: Can you not hear me?

Ling Xia looked at the writing on the car window, and nodded slightly to Li Jing, Li Jing looked at Ling Xia in astonishment, all the words were choked in his throat, unable to utter a sound.
