In the apartment, Lin Meng sat quietly on the sofa, and Xiao Yi curled up and lay lazily on his lap, looking at Lin Meng with big glazed eyes.

Lin Meng gently followed its fur, lowered her eyes slightly, and said slowly.

The story begins with Yin Manlan and Lin Zhiyu. Yin Manlan was born in a working family with well-educated parents. Yin Manlan is good-looking and smart. She is loved by her family and grew up surrounded by stars.

She is just like her parents, gentle, sensible and obedient, and never disobeys them.

If it is said that the most daring thing Yin Manlan did when he was young, it must be skipping class with his classmates to go to the amusement park. That day the amusement park invited a pop band to sing and gathered a lot of people. Yin Manlan met Lin Zhiyu at that time.

Lin Zhiyu's family lives in the countryside, and he loved painting since he was a child, but his family's conditions did not support him, so he came out to paint for others after finishing high school.

Although Lin Zhiyu is poor, he has great ambitions and works hard. He always feels that one day he will reach the top of the painting world. He continues to study while painting for people.

The encounter between the two is highly romantic. The young and beautiful girl is separated from her friends and surrounded by hooligans. The young talented hero saves the beauty, and they fall in love at first sight.

After the first meeting in the amusement park, the two began to meet frequently. Yin Manlan's favorite thing was to sit next to Lin Zhiyu with a book, read the book and then look at his handsome side face. It seemed that she had eaten milk candy in her heart. It was so sweet. Intoxicating.

After the two are together, they are like all boys and girls who are passionately in love, wishing to stick together all the time, holding the phone and talking on the phone every day.

Yin Manlan's change quickly attracted the attention of the Yin family and his wife. After many inquiries, they discovered the existence of Lin Zhiyu. Yin Manlan was a third-year student in high school. In order not to irritate her, the Yin family and his wife approached Lin Zhiyu in private and asked him not to pester her. .

Somehow the matter got to Yin Manlan's ears, and she got into a quarrel with her parents, insisting on staying with Lin Zhiyu.Under the obstruction of her parents in every possible way, she became more determined to be with Lin Zhiyu, and finally decided to elope with him.

When a young man falls in love, he always feels that love is the most important thing in his life. Yin Manlan rebelled against his parents, gave up the future, and gave up a comfortable life for him, and returned to his hometown, a poor, backward, feudal village.

Because Yin Manlan was not yet of marriageable age, Mother Lin invited people from the village to a banquet first, and the matter between the two of them was settled.

Soon after they lived together, they had a child, and this person was Lin Meng.

Although Lin Zhiyu's family was poor, he was still a man who knew how to love his wife when he was in love. Although his life was a bit poor, he was still affectionate, so even though life was a bit harder, Yin Manlan did not regret it.

Marriage is different from love. Love is two fiery hearts colliding together, but marriage is more about food and noise, and these things are more obvious in rural areas.

Yin Manlan has never experienced hardship since she was a child, and all she received was an elite education.Lin Zhiyu is different. He only went to the middle school in the town for high school. In addition, he is obsessed with painting and has no literary accomplishment.

After the passionate love period, the problems of education and three views of the two soon emerged.Yin Manlan likes romantic novels and prose, music and drama, and likes to feel the little things in life.

But Lin Zhiyu doesn't understand her favorite prose, poetry and novels. Apart from painting, he has to go to the fields and help others every day. He loves his wife, but most of the time he is worried about money. A gap was created.

After Little Lemon was born, Yin Manlan loved her son dearly and wanted to give him the best in everything, and everything could not be worse than when she was a child. The two quarreled and fought coldly because of this, but life still had to go on. Although the two quarreled, in front of outsiders Still maintain a loving appearance.

Because Lin Zhiyu spent a lot of time painting, and the family's expenses depended on two old people selling vegetables, Yin Manlan found a job after Little Lemon was weaned.

First, under Lin's mother's arrangement, he watched cattle and sheep for the people in the village. Although Yin Manlan hadn't gone to college yet, she graduated from a key high school in the city after all. Afterwards, she ignored Mother Lin's objection and quit her job to find a job in the town.

Because of the backwardness and the lack of teachers in the town, Yin Manlan stayed in the town to teach in the primary school.

Yin Manlan was [-] or [-] years old. She went home with a man and gave birth to a child before she was married. She was also a charming lady. Her style of conversation and appearance were incompatible with the women in the village, so she was not welcomed by everyone.

After she taught in elementary school for a period of time, gossip spread in the town and the village that she had ambiguous relations with students' parents and that her relationship was not innocent.

The town is in the mountains, with poor transportation and information. People usually have nothing to do, and they just like to get together. The owner, Li Jiashou, spread the news quickly. How could Lin's father and Lin's mother see their family's reputation so popular? They forced Yin Manlan to quit her school job and go home to help farm.

It was at this time that Yin Manlan began to regret it.

Lin Zhiyu was buried in the studio all day long, ignoring her affairs, never going out to make money, dreaming of overnight fame all day long, and the advantage of being in love suddenly became a disadvantage.

Because of the school, Lin's father and Lin's mother began to prohibit Yin Manlan from going around the village, especially not to have anything to do with men, as if she was guarding against thieves.

The family was in such a stalemate. After more than a month, Yin Manlan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and started arguing with Lin Zhiyu every day.

Lin Zhiyu didn't make any progress in selling paintings, so he blamed Yin Manlan, thinking that she was making trouble with him every day.The two quarreled at first, and finally started fighting directly.

Yin Manlan was overwhelmed by the pressure of this closed feudal village. The indifference of her mother-in-law and her husband's indifference and blame made her completely broken. She began to quarrel every day, disturbing the Lin family.

The sounds of cursing, howling, and crying of babies lingered in Lin's house all day long. Lin Zhiyu's eldest brother couldn't bear the disturbance, so he made a fuss about separating the family and moving to the village.

Lin's father followed suit every day, and finally got himself into it.

After Lin's father died, Lin's mother hated Yin Manlan even more, and Lin Zhiyu completely ignored her. Apart from crying, Yin Manlan sat quietly on the edge of the bed with her head down and her hair loose. Can't hear at all.

Lin's mother scolded Yin Manlan for killing her man, and for killing Lin Zhiyu, because Lin Zhiyu couldn't create good works because she was restless all day long.

The few people were in such a stalemate, and finally, when Lin Meng was three years old, they fell out completely.

After Yin Manlan and Lin Zhiyu had a big fight, they tore up all his paintings and left resolutely.

Lin Zhiyu was dreaming of being a painter. After Yin Manlan tore up all the paintings, he seemed to have lost all motivation and felt that his future was ruined by her. His obsession with painting over the past few years has dragged down his body , In this anger, he couldn't afford to get sick, and let go after a few months.

The man and the son lost one after another, Lin's mother was deeply hit, and gradually became decadent, and she didn't speak all day long. Suddenly, only the old and the young were left in the lively old Lin's house.

Yin Manlan and Lin Zhiyu didn't register their marriage, so the village always thought that Lin Meng was a wild child and didn't like to see him usually. Meng Meng was young and didn't know what it meant, so he did it obediently, which made people in the village laugh and praise him for being so smart. It was the first time Lin Meng was praised by others, so he happily ran home and told Lin Mu , Mother Lin was furious and scolded him viciously. From then on, Lin Meng vaguely knew that the villagers didn't like him.

Later, when someone gave him something to eat or talked to him, he kept his mouth shut and refused to speak.

Over time, people completely ignored him.

It's just that after some tea and dinner, he would casually mention the matter of the second son of the Lin family, and laugh about it as a joke.

It is said that children are the epitome of their parents. When the adults in the village ignore and make fun of Lin Meng, the children are unwilling to play with Lin Meng. Although they don't know what the bastard means, they always like to call him Lin Meng.

Lin's mother told Lin Meng that no matter what other people said, she should pretend that she didn't hear it. The little Lin Meng nodded obediently and agreed to her words.

At school, he basically didn't speak. When he got home, in the oppressive old house, Lin's mother sat blankly in Lin Zhiyu's former studio all day long, and Xiao Lin Meng obediently carried a small bench and ran to the back of the old house. In a small piece of bamboo forest, I muttered to myself in the quiet bamboo forest, swaying my little feet.

Lin Meng inherited Lin Zhiyu's love for painting, but he is more talented than Lin Zhiyu. He either stays in the bamboo forest in a daze or squats on the ground to draw with small branches.

The village is not far from the town, and although it is a town, the situation is not much better.Lin Meng went to junior high school there. The story of the Lin family was widely circulated in the town. Many of them even remembered Yin Manlan's appearance. Junior high school students had much more complicated thoughts than primary school students. They excluded and bullied Lin Meng.

Lin Meng remembered Lin's mother's words, and neither cried nor made trouble. People removed his desk and tore up his textbooks. He picked up the pages in silence, and stood quietly in the empty seat to listen to the class. blackboard.

A long time ago, he threw himself into Mother Lin's arms aggrieved, crying helplessly, but Mother Lin just pushed him away indifferently, telling him to study hard and become a painter in the future.

From then on, no matter what happened, Lin Meng never told Lin Mu again.

His silence made the children who bullied him even more presumptuous. They asked Lin Meng to be on duty for them, made him not allowed to write answers for the exam, and broke the window to say that he did it.

The teachers at the school also knew about Lin Meng's family. As long as the parents didn't make trouble, they would turn a blind eye to these matters and wouldn't care too much about them.

Lin Meng went to school early, and was only eight or nine years old in junior high school. She is thin and small. She always keeps her head down and has almost zero sense of existence.

Lin's mother seemed to wake up suddenly one day, looked at his lifeless eyes, and cried for a while, and it was then that she realized that Lin Meng could no longer communicate with others normally, except for the small bamboo forest in the backyard. , he will not say a word.After school, I squatted on the ground, holding a small tree branch and drawing.

Chicks and ducklings, lively and lively

There was a time when a child in the village was beaten with a headband for no reason, and there was a riot in the village. Because the murderer could not be found, he died without a problem.

In the second semester of junior high school, a group of boys surrounded Lin Meng, laughing at him for killing his grandfather and father, and for being a disaster.Lin Meng was surrounded by the crowd, her lifeless eyes were drooping, and all kinds of ugly words filled her ears.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly picked up a stool beside him and threw it at that person viciously.

Blood flowed out, and amidst howls and exclamations, the people surrounding him dispersed, and finally there were some gaps in the airtight encirclement.

The classmate who was smashed got a few stitches and lay in the hospital for a few days before being discharged. Lin Meng was expelled from the school because of this.

He was not sad either, sitting in Lin Zhiyu's studio all day long, drawing over and over again.

One day, Yin Manlan suddenly appeared in the old Lin family's house. She still had that beautiful face, but became more mature, intellectual and fashionable.

After she left Lin Zhiyu, she returned to her parents. Through the relationship between her parents, she re-studied in the third year of high school. Finally, she was admitted to the best local school. After graduation, she married a man who had pursued her for many years and gave birth to a daughter.

When Mother Lin saw Yin Manlan, she was so excited that she wanted to start a fight again, but Yin Manlan was no longer the little girl she used to be, and she couldn't utter a word after a few words.

Yin Manlan walked behind Lin Meng, looked at the painting under his hands, and seemed to see Lin Zhiyu sitting and drawing in a daze.

There is no beauty, no love, only unbearable and disgusting.

She took Lin Meng to the city on the condition that she went to art school, but Lin Meng refused to live with them, so Yin Manlan rented a house for him outside, except for living expenses, she seldom set foot there, but Ke Yue often went to play with him .

She took Lin Meng to see a doctor, saying that it was autism, but at this time, Lin Meng had completely closed his heart and did not let anyone approach him. Apart from seeing a psychiatrist regularly, there was no other way.

After graduating from junior high school, Lin Meng was admitted to a high school in the city, and it was at this time that she met Zhao Yang.

Lin Meng's condition deteriorated severely after Lin's mother passed away from cancer. He watched Lin's mother's burial with cold eyes, and watched several so-called relatives start to compete for the real estate of the old house. In the bamboo forest, whispered softly.

After Lin's mother's funeral, he returned to City S. It was Christmas, and the streets were full of joy and laughter. Lin Meng was wandering on the street alone. With the lights of thousands of houses on, he stared at the flowing river with fascination. The deep and mysterious river carried an irresistible allure. He climbed to the bridge and sat with his hands on his sides, his feet swaying. It was cold, inexplicably bitingly cold.

He raised his head slightly, staring at the pitch-black sky with his jet-black eyes. After a long time, he slowly let go of the hand he was holding, and leaned forward.

After a low cry, he was suddenly dragged down by a person, the surroundings were a little dark, he couldn't see the person's face clearly, he just stared at him blankly.

As the evening wind blew by, he shivered slightly, and then fell into a warm embrace, with wide palms soothingly along his back.

On the dim bridge, the man's gentle and magnetic voice came with the evening wind:

"Good, it's okay..."

Lin Meng's body stiffened, her calm black eyes stared blankly at the front, as if unconscious, but her nose felt sore, her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, and tears flowed down on her own.
