When Liu Yulin came back from delivering the dumplings, Fang Xiang was gone, leaving only a few stacks of books lying on the ground.

Liu Yulin glanced at the colloquial volume on the table that she had found out after all the hard work, and took out her cell phone to call Fang Xiang.

It rang many times but no one answered.

Liu Yulin's eyes wandered for a while, she put down her phone and went to dig a book.

I searched all the stacks of books on the ground, but found nothing.

Then she turned her gaze to the pocket of the bed.

With just one glance, she saw the high school Chinese textbook that had been lost in the corner of the bed pocket.

Bending down to pick up the textbook, I flipped through it and found the smashed photo, which was caught in Mr. Lu Xun's "Medicine".

In that text, all the words "think" were blacked out by her.

Delicate fingertips caressed the blackened squares one by one. Liu Yulin bit her lip and took out the phone again. Her fingers lingered on Fang Xiang's phone number for a while, and finally put it back.

After walking back and forth in the room a few times with the book in her arms, she threw the book on the table, jumped into the pocket of the bed, and writhed in it.

After a while, I dug out the professor's collection of papers.

Throwing out the collection, she went on flipping through it for a few more minutes, and found a thick notebook.

Finding a lighter, she carried the notebook to the toilet, hung the corner of the notebook over the toilet, and lit the lighter.

The flames were jumping, she hesitated for a moment, and moved to the corner of the book.

The dry pages burned quickly, but caught fire in no time.

Looking at the dancing flames, Liu Yulin bit her lip, biting it tighter and tighter, her lips turned white slightly from the biting.

suddenly!

She raised her hand violently!

Throwing the notebook that was still burning on the ground, he raised his foot and stomped on it in a panic.

The fire was extinguished, and the soot floated all over the ground, like a withered butterfly.

There is still more than half of the thick notebook left, and the torn pages are scorched yellow and still carry the heat of burning.

She leaned over to pick it up, patted off the floating embers on it, sighed slightly, carried it back to the room, found a locked drawer, and locked it in together with the second-year Chinese textbook.

Picking up the phone again, this time without hesitation, she dialed Fang Xiang again.

beep - beep - beep -

The bell rang for a long time, but still no one answered.

Liu Yulin sat down on the chair slumped, stared at the phone for a while, lowered her head lower and lower, and finally buried her head on the back of the chair, sobbing silently.

I don't know how long it took before there was the sound of messy footsteps outside the door. Mama Liu carried the high-calcium milk, roast chicken, and two large barrels of oil she just bought, and incarnated as a super housewife, she carried them to the sofa in one go. Then she raised her voice and asked. sentence.

"Linlin, have you found the information?"

Liu Yulin hurriedly wiped away her tears, cleared her throat, and replied, "I found it."

As soon as the voice fell, the bedroom door opened.

Liu Ma looked around and said in surprise, "Huh? What about Fang Xiang?"

"She... her mother told her to do something, so she went back first."

"Oh...why are your eyes so red?"

"When I moved the books just now, dust was thrown in."

"Oh, then pack up quickly, your dad will be right back, and we'll go to your grandma's now."

Grandma Liu Yulin's house is a bit far away, not in the urban area, but in the county town. In previous years, they would take the bus one day earlier, and this year is no exception.

Liu Yulin glanced at the phone, "Well, you guys go first, I'll be there later, I have to send materials to Fang Xiang."

Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, "It's not too late, is it? Those who are celebrating Chinese New Year, who still studies?"

"The main reason is that Fang wants to send it to someone else tomorrow, and we won't be back until the morning after tomorrow, so we won't be able to make it in time."

"Oh! It's really..." Liu Ma looked at her watch, "Then you go, your dad hasn't come back yet, just waiting for you."

Liu Yulin responded, picked up the tram key and went out.

As soon as I left the house, I heard Mama Liu yell at her, "Gloves! You're not wearing gloves!"

"no need!"

"The weather has changed, it's cold!" Mama Liu chased after her with gloves on, but Liu Yulin had disappeared, "This child! Really!"

The sky has indeed changed. It was quite bright just now, but now it is gloomy and gray everywhere. The north wind blows the dead leaves and swirls across the street. The pedestrians on the street shrink their necks, and there is fog around their mouths. Wreathed.

Liu Yulin hurried all the way, ran through two red lights, and arrived downstairs at Fang Xiang's house in a short while.

He locked the car, hurried upstairs, stood in front of the anti-theft door and took a steady breath, then raised his hand and patted the door.

"Fang Xiang, are you at home?"

With just two taps, the door opened.

Fang Xiangma was still holding the dumpling with one hand, through the screen of the anti-theft door, she saw that it was Liu Yulin, and immediately smiled.

"Linlin, haven't you been to your grandma's house yet?"

"No, Auntie, is Fang Xiang here?"

Fang Xiangma opened the door, let her in, and saw the documents in her hand.

"Have you found it? Really, I told you to make a trip, can you just call and let Fang want to get it?"

Liu Yulin smiled, put the information on the coffee table, glanced at the bedroom door that Fang wanted to open, and asked again.

"What do you think?"

Fang Xiangma put down the dumplings, clapped her hands, and brought over a plate of candy, "Eat candy, eat candy, I bought some good candy this year, it weighs dozens of catties!"

Then he said: "Didn't Fang Xiang just come back from your place? There are too many books and it's hard to find, so I sent her to fight with his father for a bargain."

"Get cheap?"

"That's right, every year before five o'clock in the afternoon on the [-]th, the shopping malls have discounts. Clothes for the new year are very cheap! You can go to your grandma's house to pick up bargains."

As she said that, Fang Xiangma looked back at the wall clock, "Yo, it's already past four o'clock, what time do you get the car? This Fang thinks it's true, I thought you were in a hurry to go back to your hometown and she came back, and she let you alone People are looking for information, and they have to be sent here! Let's see how I deal with her when she comes back!"

Liu Yulin hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, it's not Auntie, we did have to leave just now, so Fang wanted to go first, but there was something urgent and it was delayed, so I just delivered the things."

"Oh...that's it." Fang Xiangma poured another cup of hot water for her, "Then are you going to leave today?"

"Go, go now."

Liu Yulin took one last look in the direction of Fang Xiang's bedroom, and walked away from home.

Come in a hurry, and leave dejectedly.

The sky was getting cloudier and the wind was blowing harder. Liu Yulin vaguely remembered that her mother had nagged in the morning that the winter was always warm and snowy just before the new year. God really didn't want to have a safe year.

Looks like it's really going to snow.

She rode on the little sheep and drove against the wind, and the wind howled in her face, which was actually a bit icy cold.

She hadn't had cold hands for so many years, and after persisting for a while, she couldn't take it anymore. She stuffed one hand into the pocket of the down jacket, and opened it tremblingly with the other.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a small bread passing by, a bit like Fang Xiang's father's car.

Liu Yulin subconsciously followed the car and turned her head to look. The car drove a long way before she could barely make out the license plate number.

No.

Not Fang Sijia's car.

Sudden surprise, sudden loss.

Liu Yulin sighed slightly, and before she could turn her head, there was a sudden exclamation from the front of the car!

"Hey! Look at the road!"

Yu Xiaowan was startled, and subconsciously squeezed the brake.

But it was obviously too late.

boom!

A muffled sound!

She just felt dizzy for a while, and the person was thrown out!

The back of his head hit the ground heavily.

There was a buzzing sound in my head, and there was a momentary emptiness in front of my eyes and ears!

After the emptiness passed, traffic resumed in the ears again.

A middle-aged man leaned over her head anxiously, looking at her with a sad face.

"Are you okay? I said why don't you look at the road? Look at the car hit me!"

Liu Yulin supported the back of her head that was numb from the impact, and sat up reluctantly, only then could she see clearly.

There was an electric tricycle parked on the side of the road, boxes of apples were neatly stacked on the car, and a playing card was erected beside the car.

[Red Fuji, no sweet, no money, 51 boxes. 】

Seeing her staring at his car, the middle-aged man coughed and said, "Then what, there's nothing wrong with my car, so hurry up and leave."

Liu Yulin rubbed the back of her head with dull pain, and glanced at him, "Occupying the road?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately went back to the car, picked up several boxes of apples on the ground, and an open box of samples, put them back in the car, and turned on the switch when he got in the car.

"I can sell it in another place, right? You ran into it by yourself, it has nothing to do with me! You are really unlucky!"

The man was illegally occupying the road for business, probably because he was afraid that Liu Yulin would blackmail him, so he drove away in a car.

Liu Yulin struggled to stand up.

I wore thick clothes in winter, and the fall was not as serious as I imagined, but the back of my head did hurt a bit.

Enduring the pain, she picked up the car and was about to leave, when her eyes suddenly settled on a fallen apple on the ground.

The apples are dark red, not like the bright red Fuji, but the soft-faced variety like Huahua Niu.

She set up the car, limped over, bent down to pick up the apple, and wiped it.

Her family told her since she was a child that apples represent peace, and in the past, brides always carried apples in their sedan chairs.

Why did she inexplicably hit a carload of apples?

She wiped the apple vigorously again, mist formed in her eyes involuntarily.

Fang thought, why didn't you answer my call?

Fang wants to...

She took out her mobile phone and called Fang Xiang again.

Still no one picked up.

Looking at the slightly damaged apple in her hand, Liu Yulin looked up at the sky, held back the tears that were about to flow, and called her mother again.

"Hey, Mom, it's me. I have something to do here, you go first, I'll take the last bus to go there later in the evening."

"What's the matter? Is it time?"

Liu Yulin tried her best to slow down her voice and said, "It's my classmate. I'm in a hurry. I'll tell you later. That's it."

"Hey! Wait! Then you, then hurry up! Don't catch the last bus, there are too many people, if you can't make it, you won't be able to go back!"

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, she put the apple in her pocket, got on the tram, turned around and drove towards Fang Xiangjia.

After entering the community and looking around, she didn't see Fang Xiang's father's buns, so Liu Yulin found a place to put the car in a leeward place, and then went upstairs again.

Standing in front of the anti-theft door hesitated for a while.

She didn't go back to her hometown, she went back and forth, Fang thought her mother would ask why, how should she answer?

Just as he was hesitating, he heard footsteps downstairs and Fang Xiang's father yelling.

"You are so young, you can't move such a small thing? Think back then..."

"Okay Dad! I'm tired enough, let my ears stop for a while."

Liu Yulin subconsciously turned around and ran upstairs.

As soon as they turned the corner on the fifth and a half floors, Fang Xiang and his daughter climbed up panting.

"Emma, ​​it's not good to have no elevator, I'm exhausted."

Fang Xiang glanced speechlessly at his father who was still arrogant half a minute ago, and without letting go of the things in his hand, he called her mother to open the door.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the information on the coffee table.

"Mom, has Liu Yulin been here?"

Fang Xiangma, who had finished making the dumplings all afternoon, was clearing the countertop, and replied, "No, I brought it here for you, so I can make you lazy."

Fang Xiang took out his phone and looked at it.

Three missed calls.

After hesitating for a while, just about to put down the phone, Ding Dong, a message came in.

[[-] light-years away: I'm downstairs at your house. 】
