The long street was covered with heavy snow, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, so the two men on the street corner became very conspicuous. They have been standing there since Xie Tao sat here, as if they were waiting for someone. Just when Xie Tao thought they were going to stand like an ice sculpture in the cold wind, a group of students hurried over, wearing dark blue student uniforms, and everyone carried a black box in their hands, except the one who walked in the front Man, holding a dark brown paint tube in his hand.
This is really a coincidence, isn't this the person who talked all the way on the train that day? Xie Tao was surprised, and saw the two people who were waiting to meet him.
They were not far from the bench where Xie Tao was sitting, and their voices were not low, and they didn't mean to avoid people.
"Are you classmates who came back from Japan? I am Chen Rong, and he is Lu Yong. I talked with you on the phone,"
"Hi, I'm Lin Xianwei, and this is my classmate."
After a brief greeting, the group left with their suitcases in their hands.
Xie Tao frowned and looked at their leaving back. Are they going to discuss the parade
"Hey! I'm back to my senses!" Gu Yan frame came back at some time, and waved a paper bag in front of her, then handed it to her: "Here, soy milk, I bought it early in the morning, but just forgot."
Xie Tao took it over, and the heavy weight in her hand made her a little confused. When she opened it, the cold touch from her hand strengthened her thoughts even more.
"You idiot!"
She turned the soy milk in her hand upside down, with the cup facing down, and after a while, not a drop of soy milk flowed out.
Fortunately, he ran to get it in a serious manner to claim credit.
"Pfft!" Looking at the frozen soy milk, the two finally couldn't help laughing.
I couldn't drink soy milk anymore, so I had to find another way to fill my stomach. Most of the famous restaurants in Beiping are located on this Fugui Street, but the bustling and lively markets in the past have all closed their doors now. In the end, I only bought a few buns in a shop on the corner of the street.
After looking around, they only got a few buns, which made the young master Gu Yan feel a little embarrassed.
"In such a big city of Beiping, there isn't a single restaurant open. Is that plausible?"
Gu Yan framed her face sullenly, pulled Xie Tao to continue searching, and refused to give up just like that.
Xie Tao thinks it's good, it's good to have buns to eat, she doesn't have much interest in eating big meals.
"Okay, don't complain, it will be New Year's Eve soon, and the restaurant will be on holiday for the New Year." Saying that, Xie Zhen picked up the bun and put it on his mouth: "I'm starving to death, don't care, I will ate here."
Gu Yan quickly snatched the buns over: "It's so windy, what to eat!"
"I'm hungry!"
Xie Tao stretched out his hand towards him and hooked his fingers.
Gu Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, then took off her scarf and hung it around Xie Tao's neck. The scarf was wrapped around his neck several times, wrapping Xie Tao's face tightly.
"Take you to a good place!"
He still persisted and refused to return the bun to Xie Tao.
Gu Yan framed and pulled Xie Tao to turn left and right in the alley, and finally stopped in front of a two-story European-style villa with a single courtyard, and opened the door. The ground was only covered with a thin layer of snow. There is a plum blossom, and the delicate pink looks very beautiful in the snow.
There are Chinese-style furniture in the huge house, and the clean floor is spotless. Someone must have cleaned it regularly. In the room on the second floor, there is a small children's bed with a thick fox fur blanket on the floor. On the blanket, there are all kinds of children's toys, small wooden horses, wooden fake guns, Xie Tao He picked up the rattle on the ground and shook it gently. The wooden beads made a thumping sound when they hit the drum surface, which was crisp and sweet.
"Whose one?" Xie Tao lip-synced to him.
"Mine." Gu Yan framed her head with a proud face.
Xie Tao didn't expect this answer, so he turned around with the rattle.
Did Gu Yan frame live here when she was a child? Xie Tao found it funny when he thought of him riding a wooden horse and shaking a rattle.
Since Gu Yan frame brought her in, she kept looking at her expression slowly, letting her wander around.
Xie Tao was indeed very curious about this place. He walked two steps next to the wall, and when he looked up, he saw a photo hanging on the wall. In the photo, the young Gu Zongtang was sitting on a chair, holding a powder carved jade in his arms. Milk doll, with a pair of obsidian-like eyes embedded in a glutinous rice dumpling-like face, it is much cuter than I imagined. The gentle woman standing next to Gu Zongtang should be his mother, with delicate willow leaf eyebrows and a crooked smile. Curved eyes, such a well-matched family.
It's just that Gu Yan never seemed to mention his mother.
"What are you looking at? Did you make me so handsome?" Gu Yan took the photo frame off the wall and wiped the dust off it with her sleeve: "This is my mother, isn't she beautiful, but it's a pity that when I was eight years old After passing away, I have been stinking beautiful all my life, leaving at the most beautiful time, it can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."
Gu Yan turned around, handed the photo to Xie Tao, and said seriously: "You hold it for me, and give it to me when you go back to school, I'm afraid of losing it."
Xie Tao didn't refuse this time, took the photo and carefully put it in his pocket: "Don't look for me if you lose it."
"This is the last photo of my mother, try losing it!" Gu Yan froze for a moment, almost failing.
The two wandered around in the main room for a while, and Gu Yanzhu took Xie Tao to another room. It was completely different from the spacious and bright room just now. The curtains in the room were tightly closed, leaving no gaps, and the darkness was dreary. People panicked, Xie Tao was most afraid of ghosts since he was a child, and he couldn't care about anything else at this time, he held Gu Yan frame tightly and dared not let go,
"Wait for me here." Gu Yan patted her hand lightly and walked into the darkness. Suddenly, the curtains were pulled open, and the dazzling sunlight flooded into the room. The sudden light made Xie Tao feel uncomfortable. Squinting his eyes, he looked at everything in the house.
The house is full of various musical instruments, cello, saxophone, accordion, everything that one expects to find. There is a piano in the center of the room. The pure black surface is embedded with white keys. It is a kind of elegance intertwined with black and white. Gu Yan frame Already sitting in front of the piano, his fingers tapped lightly on the keys, making a few broken notes.
"You can actually play the piano?" Xie Tao couldn't help questioning his posture.
"Of course I will! Who is this young master? There are things in this world that I don't know?" Gu Yan frame raised her head with a proud expression on her face.
"Play one and listen."
"If you ask me to play it, I will play it!" After saying that, Gu Yan stood up, and it was just a posture.
Xie Tao withdrew his regretful gaze from the piano and shook his head.
Gu Yan frame walked to the gramophone, put the disc she found somewhere, turned her face and asked her, "Can you dance?"
Xie Tao nodded, and then shot back: "I will dance if you tell me to dance?"
When the melodious music came, Gu Yan framed a waltz alone, Xie Tao stood beside him and looked at him, slightly lost in thought, watching his neat steps, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and a little smile was unconsciously drawn on the corner of his mouth.
The notes jumped suddenly, Gu Yan frame turned around and pulled Xie Tao into a pas de deux, Xie Tao was a little uncomfortable, and his face was stained a little red, she gently pushed Gu Yan frame's shoulder: "You let me go."
The two were so close that his hot breath sprayed on the top of Xie Tao's head. She raised her head and saw only a snow-white chin, her lips moved slightly, and then came Gu Yan's hoarse voice: "Xie Tao , I will never let you go."
The sun shone through the window, coating the two of them with a thin layer of golden light, which reminded Xie Tao of the birthday gift he received when he was eight years old, which was a music box that Xie Zhipei brought back from abroad.
The exquisite box carved with complicated patterns was gently opened, and the melodious music sounded softly, and the two small copper figures on the heart-shaped platform danced lightly, just like now.
A loud bang broke the peaceful time. Dust and sundries fell from the roof, and the vibration continued. Immediately afterwards, the entire roof collapsed. Gu Yan hugged Xie Tao and rolled to the corner. A wooden frame It fell in front of them, within a distance of less than ten centimeters, the dust dispersed, revealing the horrified eyes of Lin Xianwei and Chen Rong.
When the two saw the clothes of Gu Yan frame and Xie Tao, they hurriedly shouted, "Run, the Japanese are going to kill us!"
While talking, a Japanese samurai jumped down from the roof. It turned out that the place where they discussed the parade was next to the old house of the Gu family.
The samurai sword with the cold light attacked Lin Xianwei with murderous intent. Xie Tao got up and quickly removed the long knife in his hand, twisted his arm instead, and subdued him. Lin Xianwei picked up the long knife and inserted it into the warrior's chest, killing him with one blow. The blood was on Xie Tao's face, it was hot and scorching, Gu Yan frame pulled her up and walked downstairs quickly, cursing, "Grandma, are the current students so ruthless?"
The gate of the yard was kicked open, the police rushed in and arrested the few people who had just fled downstairs. Although Xie Zhen and the others tried their best to explain, the police turned a deaf ear and insisted on treating the few people as prisoners Hold tight.
Chen Rong's eyes were reddened by the huge anger, he seemed to go crazy, and he pointed to the house next door and shouted: "Look, don't the dozens of attics soaked in blood be enough to prove the evil deeds of the Japanese?" Why, instead of catching the murderer, you are catching us here, isn’t the police department full of useless waste?”
A hand knife hit the back of the head heavily, and Chen Rong was knocked out and carried into the police car.
Xie Tao looked up in the direction pointed by Chen Rong. There was still a student's body hanging by the window of the attic next to the building. The dark fragrance of the courtyard has dissipated, replaced by a strong smell of blood.
Without saying a word, she was escorted by Gu Yan into the car, and then locked up with the students.
