Chapter 118 Sichuan and Chongqing Hometown
Sichuan and Chongqing are hotter than Bei'an in mid-June.
The weather was so hot and humid that there was not a breath of wind and the thick air seemed to have frozen.
After lunch, my back was covered in sweat and my body was particularly sticky.
Xia Tian followed Ye Ningyu and got on the bus back to her hometown.
"Xia, Xia Tian, it should take another three hours. The mountain road will be very steep. Do you want to take motion sickness medicine?"
"Um?"
Xia Tian looked sideways.
I found Ye Ningyu holding two white pills in her hand.
Apparently, it was motion sickness medicine she prepared for herself.
"Eat it yourself. Mr. Muscular never gets carsick."
"But, but I will feel dizzy."
"Humph, I don't believe it!"
Xia Tian waved his hands and refused to eat anything.
What kind of bus has he not ridden on?
When I was in college in my previous life, I often acted as a "college student special forces soldier" with my roommates. How could a mere bus on a mountain road stump me, Mr. Mighty?
Two hours later, the bus entered the mountain road.
Xia Tian stuck his head out of the window and kept retching.
My stomach felt churning and it felt like it had a mind of its own.
"Oh, fuck... this stomach wants to rebel. I have to punch it to let it know who is the master of the body!"
Little Leaf on the side was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She just gently stroked Xia Tian's back, then considerately took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xia Tian.
"Mr. Weimu, drink some water to calm down. We'll be there soon."
"?"
Xia Tian's face turned red and he took the water and drank a few gulps.
He looked out the window with an unnatural expression.
From now on, I will never have the face to call myself Mr. Mighty in front of Xiao Ye again.
......
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the bus finally arrived at its destination.
The first thing I do after getting off the car in summer is to hold on to a tree by the roadside and vomit.
"Mr. Mighty, are you okay?"
"......"
Xia Tian looked back at Ye Ningyu and found that her face was calm and her eyes were pure and clear.
But why does this sound more and more wrong the more I listen to it?
He curled his lips and said sternly, "Don't call me Mr. Mighty anymore."
"Oh, I, I get it Mr. Muscular."
"?"
Summer was quite unexpected.
Only then did I notice that it seemed like I had returned to Sichuan and Chongqing.
Xiao Ye's mood improved a little, and she was much more cheerful than in Bei'an and on the train.
Maybe it was because after three years, she finally returned to her long-missed hometown.
Seeing her like this, Xia Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems so.
In her previous life, Xiao Ye was able to get over the grief of losing her mother on her own, largely because she was healed in her hometown in Sichuan and Chongqing.
Because Ye Ningyu's hometown is in the mountains, and the bus just stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu found a small truck that was heading into the mountains.
Sitting in the back car, swaying, Xia Tian looked extremely ugly.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken the motion sickness medicine Xiaoye gave me. I didn’t expect the road to be so bumpy.
The small truck was parked halfway up the mountain, some distance away from Ye Ningyu's hometown.
Now they can only walk.
It was 4:30 in the afternoon and the sun was high in the sky.
In summer, the back of clothes will get wet early.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Ye, who was holding the urn and had beads of sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
We walked for nearly another hour.
Xiao Ye's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Xia, classmate Xia Tian, we're here."
Summer looks ahead.
We found a village ahead of the dirt road, with about three or four hundred households concentrated on a small hillside.
Most of the houses are quadrangle courtyards with blue tiles and white walls and earth-wood structures. Some of them are earthen houses that are very old.
The village and the surrounding mountains and waters complement each other, forming a unique rural landscape.
Xia Tian stared blankly for a few seconds.
I didn’t expect that Xiao Ye came from such a small village deep in the mountains.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Ye.
I noticed that there was confusion and complicated emotions in Xiao Ye's eyes when he looked at the village.
Probably because she hadn't been back here for three years, the changes in the village seemed a little unfamiliar to her.
Follow Ye Ningyu into the village.
Many villagers on the road cast strange looks at me.
Some people seemed to recognize Ye Ningyu and immediately started whispering to their companions.
Because it was a dialect, Xia Tian couldn't understand what they were saying even if she heard it.
But after hearing this, Xiao Ye pulled up his collar and his eyelids drooped subconsciously.
Seeing this, Xia Tian could almost guess what these villagers were saying.
He whispered to Xiao Ye: "Don't pay too much attention to what those people say. What happened in the past was not your fault."
"Um....."
Not long.
Ye Ningyu took Xia Tian to stop in front of a house.
She pointed with her finger and whispered, "It's here."
Just as Xia Tian was about to speak, an old man with a hunched back and a cane walked out of the house.
Ye Ningyu's body trembled, and her voice immediately choked:
"Grandpa."
The old man slowly raised his head, and his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.
He leaned on his crutches and quickly moved to Ye Ningyu's side.
After seeing Ye Ningyu's face clearly, tears immediately flowed down his face.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, is that you?"
"Grandpa, it's me, Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu is back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, come into the house quickly, don't stand here stupidly..."
Grandpa wiped his turbid tears, took Ye Ningyu's hand and walked closer, looking behind her.
But all I saw was Xia Tian standing there with a suitcase.
"Xiaoyu, this is..."
Xia Tian took the initiative to step forward and showed a bright smile: "Hello, Grandpa, my name is Xia Tian, and I am Ye Ningyu's high school classmate in Bei'an."
"Oh, oh, hello, hello."
Ye Ningyu's grandfather was not good at speaking, so he just forced a smile and nodded to Xia Tian.
After entering the yard.
Looking around in the summer, I saw a walnut tree planted next to the yard. A big black dog was lying next to him, looking at him warily.
In addition, there are three chickens kept in cages.
"Xiao Yu, where's your mom? Are you back alone?"
"Mom..."
When talking about Chen Lan, Xiao Ye could no longer hold back her tears.
Her tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the urn in her arms.
Gently lift the black cloth on the urn and bring the urn to my grandfather.
Grandpa saw the urn and the photo on it.
Even though he was using a crutch, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xia Tian supported him in time.
Grandpa's lips trembled and tears slid down his old face again.
I opened my mouth several times, but no words came out.
a long time.
He sighed heavily, reached out his hand and touched the urn, muttering:
"Lan...you have suffered a lot in this life. It's because I am incompetent."
"It's also that bastard Ye Wei's fault! If he didn't know how to gamble, you and your mother wouldn't be so miserable."
Grandpa trembled when he mentioned Ye Ningyu's father.
You can see it.
Three years have passed, and my grandfather still resents his son-in-law.
Ye Ningyu wiped her tears and explained to her father: "Grandpa, don't say that about Dad. He, he never gambled again after he took me and mom to Bei'an. It's just that he was unlucky. He died two years ago..."
Grandpa's pupils contracted and he looked at Ye Ningyu in a daze.
He originally thought that his son-in-law was too embarrassed to come back to see him.
I didn't expect that we would be separated forever.
At this time.
Grandma also came out of the house, her face already wet with tears.
"Grandma."
Grandma didn't care about anything else and hugged Ye Ningyu directly, tears already streaming down her face:
"Xiao Yu, you are such a kind girl, why is God so unfair..."
