14 years time difference

Four seals were pasted on the brown-red gate, each with a red seal.

Lin Zhique stood in front of the door without saying a word, grabbing the strap of the schoolbag on her shoulders, even the veins on her neck were tense.

This morning, she came out of this door with her bag on her back, just like any other morning.

Less than a day had passed, and she could never go back.

She can't go back to the only home that looks like a cage but has really protected her.

Her mother's phone was off and no one answered.

There was a ding in the elevator, door opening, footsteps, and some broken words came from the neighbor couple: "Ah? Is it really blocked?" "If you don't believe me, look for yourself! Walk around." "Think about it. It’s normal, it’s not a family that’s going through life, the man in the family is not around every day, I’m afraid it’s not being someone’s concubine outside, as Cantonese say, it’s called a mistress.” “I think it is, and the children in the family are also weird , you won't laugh when you see people..."

The neighbor couple walked around the corner and saw her standing in front of the door. They immediately fell silent and hurriedly took out the keys to open the opposite door.

The corridor was very wide, and the sound of the key being inserted into the lock was sharp, but the air was silent. At this moment, it seemed that the echo of those words just now sounded.

The neighbor entered the house and closed the door softly.

Almost at the same time as the door slammed, there was a sound of the schoolbag being thrown and slamming on the door.

Then, suddenly, the clasp of the schoolbag popped open, and the contents inside fell all over the floor, including books, pens, and a portable mirror.The portable mirror was broken, each piece reflected Lin Zhique's stubborn face, each piece was broken and sharp.

The child in the room burst into tears.

A curse came from the door: "What are you doing smashing the door! Scary!"

Lin Zhique shouted with all his strength: "If you have the ability to open the door to talk! If you love to gossip, open the door!"

"Just open it! Are you afraid of you?" The man opened the door and poked his head out to look at the floor and the outside of the door. At this moment, Du Zhian came out from the elevator. "Little crazy woman, you smashed my door, I want you to pay for it!"

Du Zhi'an came to pull Lin Zhique's schoolbag, and whispered: "Hey, let's go." Lin Zhique squinted at her: "What are you doing here? Go away."

The neighbor man's body was hiding behind the door, only his head was exposed, and he continued to talk: "You are not too young, it's easy to know something, before you get mad, let's calculate whether your family can afford it now? Is this little girl a classmate? Let me remind you, their family is not normal, you play with such bad students..."

Du Zhian frowned, straightened his back, and replied in a melodious manner: "Why can't you afford to break the door? If I smashed ten of you, I can still afford it. Borrow it." She bent over to pick it up. The thing on the ground pushed the door in. The man snorted and had no choice but to step back and close the door, still saying: "Your door is high-end, and there are many seals on it."

Du Zhian handed the schoolbag he picked up to Lin Zhique.

Lin Zhique took the hand, turned around and left.

Du Zhian asked: "Where are you going?" Seeing that she didn't look back, he could only follow her.

"None of your business."

In fact, she didn't know where she should go.

"It's none of my business. If my mother asked me to take you home, do you think I care about you?"

"Your mother asked you to take me home." Lin Zhique stopped and turned his head, "What about my mother? Where is my mother?"

She could only ask Du Zhian this kind of question.

"...I don't know. Didn't your mother tell you? Didn't you discuss it?"

"Have you discussed it? Your mother asked you to take me back to your home. Did you discuss it with you beforehand?"

Du Zhian didn't know how to answer.

Lin Zhique snorted coldly, "It seems that no one cares about your opinion."

"Lin Zhique, don't be shameless. My mother doesn't discuss it with me because she knows that I will understand her. I am on her side. Do you understand?"

"She knows you will understand her, so why do you want to understand her? Why can she not discuss it with you if you understand her?" She asked back. "Why can you pack your luggage without saying a word, and send you to someone else's house without saying a word?"

"...Are you going?" Du Zhian didn't allow any questions in this world that she couldn't answer, so he had to avoid the topic, "If you don't go, you can go to sleep in the bridge hole. Let me tell you, those who know the current affairs are heroes, Who are you going crazy here for? Do you think it's an honor?"

Lin Zhique's cell phone rang.Lin Lan called.

She glanced at Du Zhi'an, turned around and ran, didn't even take the elevator, knocked open the door of the stairwell with her shoulder, ran all the way down from the eighth floor, ran out of the door of the unit building, gasped for breath, and answered the phone.

"Ninny, are you out of school? Mom was talking to adults just now, but she didn't hear the phone call."

Lin Zhique didn't say a word, just gasping for breath.

"Why are you panting so badly? Did you go to your father's place? The two boxes your mother gave you contained everything, and you brought your game boards with you. You tidy them up slowly. You wash your hair and take a bath. The towels are placed in the mezzanine above the dark green box, and the pajamas are also placed on the top..."

"Where are you?" she interrupted her mother.

"Mom is..."

Before Lin Lan could say anything, she once again, almost shouted: "Where are you?" After shouting, she felt that she lost all her strength, and called out weakly: "Mom." A tear fell from her eye socket .

"...Mom is in the town. Your uncle, his father-in-law helped him open a garment factory in the town. I want to go to work there." On the other end of the phone, the mother's tone was sincere and flattering. , "You know that something happened to your father. In fact, in the past few years, my mother has been making mental preparations. It is impossible for me to live with you with them. Your father said that he would find another house for us live, but Mom thought, forget it, rely on people, can’t rely on it, can’t rely on it for a lifetime. Do you agree? Mom has no education, and I can’t find any decent jobs in the city..."

"I'll go too."

"What? Where did you go?"

"Uncle's garment factory. I'll go there too. I can use a computer, and if they need it, I can keep accounts. I can learn."

"Don't talk nonsense. Don't read books anymore? Listen to your mother. It's been a year or two. Mom knows you don't like it. After finishing high school, you can go to college. Your uncle said, now set up a factory. In the future, I will go to East China and open my own clothing store and chain store, and then my mother will go back to work, and my mother will strive to go back as soon as possible."

"...If uncle is really so kind to you, why hasn't he called you even during Chinese New Year for so many years?"

"He's mad at me for killing your grandma."

"Then now, depending on him, you depend on people, too?" Lin Zhique pursed his mouth, all the grievances accumulated in his mouthpiece, and he would burst into tears if he couldn't hold it back.

"Well, the road has to be taken step by step. I haven't worked for so many years. I have a craft and my brain is not flexible. How can it be so easy to find a job? Although I want to be a worker, it is my relative's factory anyway."

"So you went back several times for this matter? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"...This is my mother's fault. I'm afraid you will be impulsive and refuse to agree, and you will have to compete with your father."

This reason is not a reason at all.Sometimes, if you don't speak, it's just because you don't know how to speak, and fate can't help you at all, and pushes you away suddenly.

She didn't complain any more. In order to hold back her tears, she clenched her teeth and her cheeks became stiff. "...Where are all my things? Go on."

So Lin Lan explained everything to her.Her drawers, her wardrobe, everything she kept since she was a child, she helped her put away.

In the end, Lin Zhique sniffed his nose and tried to make himself speak like an adult: "From today on, you don't want to contact Du any more. If there is anything, I will tell him myself, and you don't have to worry about me. You have nothing to do with him anymore, do you understand?"

Lin Lan's voice choked up, "Mom did something wrong. Over the years, my mother has done something wrong, and I want you to bear it together..."

Lin Zhique pressed the red button and hung up the phone.She covered her mouth tightly to keep herself from crying.She knew she wanted to say sorry to her, but how could she want her to say sorry?She is on her side, just like Du Zhian is on her mother's side.

Du Zhian didn't know when she came down from upstairs, walked over, and asked her with some disgust if she wanted paper.

Lin Zhique lowered his gaze. "Where is the car?"

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Before Du Zhian could answer, she saw Du's Mercedes-Benz parked not far away. She just came back by bus, but Du Zhian was not.

She walked towards the car without looking back, wiped away her tears, opened the door and sat in.Du Zhian hurriedly followed her and was about to get into the car when she said, "Go through the door over there." Then she closed the door forcefully.

Du Zhian was so angry that he almost kicked the door, thinking it was his own car, so he gave up.

She went around the rear of the car and got into the car from the other side. The two of them pressed against the car door, keeping as far away from each other as possible, and they didn't speak a word to each other along the way.

They were like two small fish trapped in the same fishing net, each struggling hard.Perhaps, they have been trapped in this net since birth.

The traffic policeman lowered his eyes and was looking at the ID card in his hand.

Lin Zhique remained calm.There was a toll booth ahead, and there was no way to go. She looked up at the rearview mirror, and estimated the chances of starting the engine and turning around to escape successfully.

approximately equal to zero.

The traffic policeman raised the driver's license in the other hand and began to compare.

Du Siren, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly said, "Brother Traffic Police, do you set up guards here every day? A lot of support convoys came here a while ago?"

The traffic policeman raised his eyelids, "That's right. This section is okay. In summer, the section going to Wenchuan is only blocked, and it's full of volunteers. You won't be allowed to enter the backside..." He put down the ID card in his hand, "Hey, why do you look so familiar to me? Are you a celebrity?"

Du Siren took out an album of his own from the storage box and handed it over, "I sing, please support me."

The traffic police took a look in his hand, "Oh, I remember you. Before the earthquake you donated money, and it was also published in the newspaper." He handed the album back, thought for a while, and handed back the driver's license and ID card, "On duty When you accept it, it’s called bribery. Drive forward slowly and pay attention to safety.”

He stepped back and waved them away.

So they laughed and said goodbye to each other. The one on the left had worked hard and the one on the right paid attention to the sun, and immediately started the car and fled away. After passing the toll booth, Dusi asked, "Why don't I drive it instead?" Lin Zhique disdainfully Answer: "I will drive. There are so many traffic policemen waiting to arrest me in this kind of place." Her palms were a little sweaty, and she rolled a tissue in her hand.Dusi unscrewed a bottle of water for her to drink.

The journey that almost died in the hands of the traffic police began as expected.

They drove west all the way, walking very slowly, sometimes stopping in a certain county town to rest for two or three days.

They crossed the road in the mountains. Except for the autumn brown mountains, there was an endless field. The weather was sunny and sometimes foggy. In the foggy days, the mountains seemed to be shrouded in the sea of ​​clouds. The people of Dusi saw a wave rushing out of the sea of ​​clouds. Excitedly asking Lin Zhique to see the waterfall, a large herd of cows suddenly passed by on the road, almost causing the death of many cows.Passing through a group of mountains, there are snow-capped mountains in the distance, as well as a mirror-like lake at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. They soak in hot springs at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and eat hot yak hot pot on snowy days.The higher the altitude, the lower the clouds are, and they hang continuously above their heads. There are so many clouds, but the sky is not cloudy at all, and it is still transparent, coating everything on the earth with a soft light, as if they are very close to the sky.

Tibetan flags fluttered in the wilderness. They visited several small temples they passed by. The Dusi people learned to turn the prayer wheel devoutly. After washing, Lin Zhique said, then you can become a nun here, and I drove away by myself.Du Siren chased her and said no, I'm not destined to end up in this world, he took her arm while talking, and put his face on her shoulder.

There are also times when the journey is very tiring, such as driving long distances, getting lost, acclimatization, and repeated altitude sickness.Dusi people are used to dealing with high-pressure work, and they can maintain patience even when they are very tired, but now it is different from work. When they are tired, she can not talk or force a smile. Sometimes, they drive forward , For a long time, no one spoke, and an English song with a soft melody was playing on the stereo. People from Dusi said that this song was called "Casablanca", which was written by the singer after watching the movie.Have you seen that movie?The theme song of that movie is "As Time goes by".

It was the song "As Time goes by" that she once wrote a few translations for her on the bus, and she stood on the stage of the school theater and sang to her.

"What about this one? What is the lyrics of this one?" Du Siren asked.

Lin Zhique listened for a while, and replied: "It's about, kisses are meaningless when you're not here. Every day, I love you a little more than the day before."

But akissis not akiss without yoursigh.

I love you more and more each day as time goes by.

Their car was driving on the mountain road, and it was already sunset time.

The Dusi people pulled over and stopped the car.There are herdsmen driving yaks in the mountains.

They held hands and watched the sunset quietly.

Dusi turned his head and said, "Me too."

The weather is getting colder and colder. They bought several sets of rustic fleece underwear at the market in a small county they passed by. The people in Dusi disliked the unwashed clothes and refused to wear them. I don't want you anymore.They met many people, took pictures on the grassland wearing the hada given by the Tibetan boss, and hiked up the mountain with the local guide.Everyone in Du Si has a lot of money. When buying things, she agreed to whatever the other party asked for. When she arrived at the next village and town, after comparing the prices, she realized that she had been cheated. Lin Zhique patted her head and said it was okay. Money is like robbing the rich and giving to the poor.Dusi people laughed and said yes.Lin Zhique lost the key to the hotel room twice along the way, so they had to go back and search carefully in various corners. Talking while running, the search dogs are dispatched!

In December, they crossed the Jinsha River and entered Tibetan areas.

They hadn't planned a day for their return journey, and if it wasn't for Li Miaomiao's call, they might have continued to walk for a while until they reached Lhasa.

"Where are you? Big star, have you had enough vacation? Are you still not coming back to make money?" Miaomiao's voice was intermittent due to poor call signal.

The Dusi people replied: "We haven't arrived in Lhasa yet."

"It's been a few days, and you haven't arrived in Lhasa yet? You won't come back with a plateau red, right? There are many parties at the end of the year."

Du Siren hurriedly went to look in the mirror, only to realize that he was a little tanned.

Miaomiao said: "When you come back, let's go back to Beijing and have a meeting with everyone."

"What?"

"What do you think? The company has recently collected a lot of songs. When you come back, let's listen to them together. There will be time in the first half of next year. Let's make a second album."

"Really?" Du Si was overjoyed. After 06, she only released a few singles one after another, and most of the time was filled with non-music-related work.

"Well, I receive insults from your fans in my mailbox every day. What do you want? If you don't release an album, you will be scolded for not releasing an album. Big whine.

"Okay, okay, I apologize to you on their behalf."

"Bring it down. Just come back as soon as you've had enough fun. I had a meeting with Mr. Wang and Zhu He two days ago. I heard that you had been on vacation for so long, and their faces were as black as two kitchen gods!"

After hanging up the phone, Du Siren looked at Lin Zhique, who was driving, looking at the road ahead, and said, "Got it. I'll turn around and go back to make a new album tomorrow."

"Then next time, shall we go to Lhasa next time?"

Lin Zhique knew that "next time" was an expired promise between vulgar couples, but she didn't feel bad about being cheated by Du Si people.

On the way back, they still took a detour to Girl Mountain.

On the day of going up the mountain, there was a light snow in the sky from time to time.

The man from Dusi asked, "The other me, where did the accident happen?"

"... I don't know. This mountain is so big." There are seven or eight viewing platforms alone, and you have to take different routes to enter the mountain.

Standing on the viewing platform, looking at the snow-capped mountains, Lin Zhique asked, "Will you come again in the future?"

"Do you wish I would never come again?"

"I don't know. Your life, you make the decisions."

Du Siren leaned over and embraced Lin Zhique, raised his head, looked at the falling snow, his eyes followed the snow, and fell on Lin Zhique's eyes.She suddenly said sincerely, "You are so beautiful."

Lin Zhique replied: "You are not bad either."

Amused by the mutual compliments, they hugged each other in the snow, forehead to forehead.

Snow Mountain is silent, as if it has never changed since meeting them in 2005.When it executes the execution on behalf of the order, it must be the same as it is now.The Duth people shouted to it, hello!I want to live to be a hundred years old!When I'm a hundred years old, I'll see you again!

On the last night of the journey, they stopped in Yu'an and lived in a B&B with a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

The Dusi people receive a text message that surprises them.

It was from 16-year-old Lin Zhique.

Text message: Can you lend me some money?It doesn't matter who you are, whether you are a Dusi person or a Dusi person's girlfriend.I'll pay you back when I finish college.

Du Siren wanted to call, but Lin Zhique stopped her: "Don't call."

She had no choice but to call her parents to inquire, and only then did she learn what had happened in Huadong recently.

Du Siren sat on the bed, crossed his legs and discussed with Lin Zhique: "I have a flat in East China, not far from your school, and I can live in it for their mother and daughter."

Lin Zhique leaned against the head of the bed, "No rent?"

"Well," Du Siren replied naturally, "I bought that suite at the time because I thought that if something happened to my brother, I would be able to take care of it."

Lin Zhique was noncommittal, just took Du Siren's cell phone, and replied: How much do you want to borrow?

At this moment, the bed under them suddenly shook.

There was a tinkling sound from the ceiling, it was the chandelier shaking, and the hanging ornaments on it bumped together.

Du Siren bounced off the bed, hugged and tugged, and pulled Lin Zhique up by the waist.

earthquake.
