Yang Huo Deng

Chapter 5 The Beauty of Light and Shadow

"I don't understand what you're talking about with an old woman like me," Mrs. Gu interrupted Xu Guangchuan rudely: "What are you going to talk about related to Lao Gu and Weiwei?"

"It's like this, Miss Gu, I have submitted an application to the scientific research institute to put the names of Lao Gu and Weiwei on the personnel list of the scientific research institute," Xu Guangchuan hurriedly said, seeing that Mrs. Gu was interested. .

Mrs. Gu Lai thought for a while, then closed her eyes wearily: "How can such a good thing come for nothing? What are the conditions?"

"The Academy of Sciences set up a group of archaeological teams to go to Sichuan, and found a Yuan tomb there. It is very rare to find a Yuan tomb in that area, so the authorities attach great importance to it, but you also know, Sister Gu, that the Yuan tomb has always been the most dangerous institution. , not moving."

"That's why you came to find me, an old woman," Old Madam Gu laughed at herself with her eyes closed: "You still think about me, who is going to be buried, so it's hard for you."

Xu Guangchuan didn't know how to start a conversation, and frowned hard, unable to figure out why Mrs. Gu had such a strange attitude towards him.Obviously, seven or eight years ago...

However, Mrs. Gu was not interested in what Xu Guangchuan said, she just asked, and sighed without hesitation: "Old Xu, let me put it bluntly, we are all old bones, and we will be buried in the ground sooner or later. But sooner or later, sooner or later, you have to divide it into morning and night. You are a professor now, and you even have students. As for me, I am just a little old woman. My little old woman has little knowledge and no pursuit. The biggest pursuit is to live more It’s been a few years. Old Xu, you said that the names of Lao Gu and Weiwei can appear on the personnel list. I know this is a good thing, but this person is gone, what’s the use of these false names..."

Xu Guangchuan didn't expect that Mrs. Gu would refuse. He thought that Mrs. Gu would definitely agree if there was a list of personnel as a condition.

Xu Guangchuan is very clear that the last thing Mrs. Gu can't let go of is that the death of Lao Gu and Weiwei has caused her daughter to completely sever ties with her. If she dies because of this project, the reputation will sound much better, and it can also ease the relationship between Sister Gu and her daughter, which is Sister Gu's long-cherished wish.At the age of Xu Guangchuan and Mrs. Gu, all they want is for their children to be by their side to take care of them. Especially now that Mrs. Gu is alone, she will only miss her children even more. Xu Guangchuan has a deep understanding of this thought of children.

So Xu Guangchuan didn't expect that Sister Gu would refuse or even consider his proposal, which gave Xu Guangchuan a strange feeling.In other words, Xu Guangchuan had this weird feeling from the moment he saw Mrs. Gu.There was no other reason, Sister Gu's attitude towards him was a bit too rigid, Xu Guangchuan couldn't feel the attitude of wishing him to leave soon.

Xu Guangchuan still tried to persuade him again, but he bit the bullet and said, "Sister Gu, this is a public project, and there will be no mistakes."

"Who can say for sure what happened in the tomb," Mrs. Gu thought of the dead person, and wiped the corners of her pantothenic eyes with her hand: "If you really say it's all right, then it's all right, and Lao Gu and the others won't... oh, I can't persuade him, nor can I persuade you, but Lao Xu, I still want to persuade you, if something happens to you, the Xu family will be left alone."

Xu Guangchuan's body suddenly stiffened like a sculpture.

Xu Guangchuan knew that Sister Gu was talking about Xu Qi.

"Old Xu, come back!!!"

"Dad, save me!!!"

"Uncle Xu, don't abandon us!!!"

Xu Guangchuan looked at Sister Gu in a daze, and there seemed to be a hysterical scream in his ear.

Xu Guangchuan shivered suddenly, and broke out in a cold sweat unknowingly. He sat slumped, with some palpitations, looked down at the uncontrollably trembling fingers, and Xu Guangchuan finally felt uneasy.

Could it be that he is really old?

The old lady Gu looked at Xu Guangchuan deeply, as if she was saying---she knows everything.

Xu Guangchuan intentionally or unintentionally avoided Old Madam Gu's ulterior motives, and the rough fingers pinching the armrest of the seat were veined because of too much force.

Yuezhou deliberately avoided looking at the screen wall, and walked out of the yard with her head down. She planned to take a walk nearby, take a look at the nearby scenery, and take a few photos. She felt a little regretful that the professional camera was left in the depository. Can only deal with the phone.

Yue Zhou pushed open the door and went out, only to see two kids with shofar braids standing outside the door looking up at her eagerly.

There are two children, a boy and a girl, with round faces and short watermelon hair, so cute and outrageous.

When Yuezhou came here, he saw these two children playing with other children, and now he saw them outside the courtyard gate, and thought that these two children belonged to Mrs. Gu’s family, so Yuezhou asked them softly: "What are you doing here, why don't you go in?"

"Sister Gu won't let us in," the little girl said in a childish voice.

"Grandma Gu didn't let it go, she said there was a big tiger inside," the little boy bared his teeth and imitated the ferocity of a tiger.

Yue Zhou was amused.

"Pretty sister, don't laugh," the little girl said.

"Sister Gu is not home," the little boy asked.

Yuezhou's heart melts at being cute, these two kids are polite and cute, they are not like the precocious little kids in the city who just open their mouths to call you auntie, to see you angry on purpose.There was no sugar in Yuezhou's satchel, only half a bag of biscuits, so the two children each held a biscuit as big as their own palm and slowly ate it happily.

"I didn't see the sister Gu you mentioned, she shouldn't be at home," Yue Zhou said to them with a half-bend.

"That pretty sister, where did Sister Gu go? I want to eat sweet nectar," the little girl drools as she eats the biscuits. She blinks her big eyes and asks Yue Zhou innocently. She wiped her mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I don't know either."

At this time, there was a meowing sound from the side, and the elder and the younger turned around and saw a black cat stretching on the wall. A worn brass bell was tied around the black cat's neck with a pink ribbon, but the black cat moved. The bell didn't ring.It's an empty bell.

"It's Sister Gu's cat!" The little boy shouted happily.

"Meow, meow, do you want to eat?" The little girl waved her arms at the black cat and gnawed on the remaining half of the biscuit. Rolled in a circle and was covered with weeds, then shook off his hair and fled gracefully.

"Meow, meow, where are you going!"

The two children didn't care about the beautiful sister Yuezhou, and they chased the black cat with their short legs to find the sister Gu they were talking about. Yuezhou estimated that Xu Guangchuan would not come out so soon when he saw a friend he hadn't seen for several years, although it might not be is a friend.Anyway, she came out to see the scenery, so she followed the two children and walked over, protecting the two children kindly on the road so that they would not fall. I wanted to run, but the child was hearing and catching, and his pace never slowed down.

Walking on an unfamiliar road and looking at the beautiful scenery, Yuezhou felt like Alice in Wonderland, and her mood was much more open.

After walking along the gravel path parallel to the flow of the river for more than ten minutes, the black cat meowed and ran towards the river, only then did Yuezhou see a person sitting alone under the shadow of the willow trees by the river.

The two children hurriedly followed the black cat's footsteps, shouting 'Sister Gu' and ran over.

Yuezhou's footsteps stayed where they were, without any disturbance from the past. Across the river was a gentle hillside. The hillside was green and the scenery was pleasant. Naturally, Yuezhou took out his mobile phone to take pictures. After taking a few photos, he heard the unique voice of a child coming from beside him. Slightly sharp laughter, she looked over and saw the two children and that sister Gu throwing stones into the water, Yue Zhou couldn't help laughing.The joy of children is really easy to satisfy.

After the two children finished throwing the stones, it was the turn of the elder sister Gu to throw the stones. She flicked the stones into the water with ease, causing the screams of the two little admirers, and the little boy ran straight into the river , startled Yue Zhou, not to mention whether the river is cold or not, it is too dangerous, the little boy is only at the edge of the river, the water is as deep as his waist, Yue Zhou subconsciously ran forward, and saw the little boy I fished it into the water, and came up with a fish in my arms. The fish was not very big, but it was hugged by the little boy. I don’t know if the fish was dead or fainted, and it was honestly hugged by the little boy. Then, the little boy hugged the greasy fish full of water, and excitedly ran to the elder sister Gu, screaming and jumping.

Yuezhou paused, and only then did she have the heart to take a closer look at the other party. She only saw the back of the other party. Judging from the back and voice, it was a young woman, who should be about the same age as her. The other party was wearing a green floral long skirt. skirt, long hair tied into a random bun with a green hairpin, soft voice, no accent, which is not easy, I heard the local dialect spoken by those old people along the way Yue Zhou didn’t quite understand, I don’t know Is it because of her influence? Although the two children can't speak clearly, they don't have any accent.

This woman is also the only local young man that Yue Zhou has seen in this nursing home.

"Sister Gu, I want it too!" The little girl raised her head and shook her hand by the corner of the woman's clothes.

"An'an wants big fish too?" The woman touched her little head.

"Yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously: "An Anke likes to eat fish, and her mother said that An Anke is smart, and she can spit out fishbone without being taught."

"Then An'an will find a good-looking stone for my sister, and my sister will catch a big fish for you, okay?"

"Howl!" The little girl immediately squatted down on the ground to look for stones, first picked a handful, then picked and picked only one, raised her arm and held it up to the woman as if offering a treasure, saying, "This stone is a green stone. Yes, the best looking."

The woman took the stone and looked at it, then coaxed her and said, "It's really the most beautiful."

The little girl was praised and raised her head proudly.

Yue Zhou was behind them, saw the woman take the stone, and after a few seconds, suddenly threw the stone into the water very neatly, different from the brute force when the two children threw the stone, this small stone seemed to come out of the chest The bullet flew straight into the water at an extremely fast speed, without any splash, and then the two children cheered, and Yue Zhou knew that this woman had hit another fish.

Sure enough, the little girl ran into the water happily, and brought up a fish by the river. The two children went crazy with joy, regardless of whether the fish was covered in water and their clothes were dirty and wet.

Yue Zhou couldn't help being amazed, she had never seen anyone with such skill.

After showing her skills in front of the children, the young woman sat back under the willow tree, leaving Yue Zhou with a vague silhouette.The willow branches are swaying with the wind, and the light and shadow through the gaps between the buds are bright and dark. She is sitting on the leisure chair, with a tall and straight posture, quietly looking at the hillside on the other side of the river, and the broken hair in her ears is blown by her cheeks with the wind , the ruffles of the green dress floated around her calves, giving Yuezhou a sense of detachment from the world.

It is pure, extremely beautiful.

Yuezhou felt itchy for a while, and suddenly felt that this scene moved her more than the scenery. She stood there and looked at the other person quietly. She picked up the mobile phone and pointed it at the figure under the willow tree. Just when she was about to press the camera button When the other party noticed something, he looked over.

Yuezhou shook her hand, pressed the camera button, and happened to take a frontal photo, but the light and shadows were whirling, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and her face reflected the warm sunlight penetrating through the gaps between the willow branches and leaves, blurring her The appearance is beautiful, but there is a bit of indescribable beauty in the artistic conception.

Because she usually takes photos of cultural relics, Yuezhou never understands light and shadow when taking pictures, and she doesn’t know how to compose pictures. photos of most of the space.

But Yuezhou felt that this was the most perfect photo she took in her life.

Yuezhou herself didn't expect that she could take such a beautiful photo. She stared at the photo on the screen of her mobile phone and became fascinated. Then she realized that she had been caught secretly taking pictures. She looked over anxiously. There is no intention of pursuing it when I move it back to the river. I probably don’t care about it because I am often photographed by individual tourists.

Yue Zhou's heart was beating very fast.She blamed it on a guilty conscience.
