The photo was deleted from Han Ying'ai's camera, but there was no way to delete it from Li Rou's mind. He has loved Li Zi for more than ten years. This kind of love has already become a part of his life, like air, like sunlight, like water, indispensable.
He doesn't care how unbelievably difficult this kind of love makes others understand, but he himself is a little at a loss after all.
Those photos forcibly inserted a strange emotion between Li Rou and Li Banzhuang's brother and sister.
It's like a seed that hasn't germinated yet. It's hidden in the soil, absorbing nutrients. It doesn't know when it pushes away the clod of soil on the top of its head, revealing its crisp and tender sharp corners.
Li Rou sat in the tea restaurant for a long time before returning to No. 1 Middle School. After confirming that Xie Wan did not trouble Li Shishi any more, he did not say hello to Li Shishi and Zhao Bao, and left No. 1 Middle School directly.
Li Rou got on a bus at random, and that strange emotion guided him, wanting him to recall the past life, so when he got off the bus, he was a little surprised that he came to the town where he grew up again, but Naturally, he walked towards the tall jackfruit tree.
Meeting many familiar faces, Li Rou's eyes were indifferent, and he no longer pretended to have a gentle and smooth smile, but people stayed away from him in fear. After all, Li Rou was no longer the little boy who could hold his head and be beaten hard for his sister. Not long ago, he had just broken off the arms and legs of those hooligans who bullied him back then.
Li Rou opened the iron gate of the old house, and saw a woman who belonged to this old house but rarely appeared here.
The woman lounges against a jackfruit tree, her hair is wet and loose, and a jackfruit leaf covers her head.
A woman makes people feel ageless, as if she was like this in her teens, in her twenties, and in her thirties, and this look will last forever.
This is Li Rou's feeling, because for the past twenty years, she has always been like this in his mind, and it has not changed, only his feeling has changed.
The woman was wearing denim shorts, revealing two slender legs, like two ivory carved into the most exquisite art, glowing with a halo, a big T-shirt on the upper body, the hem was tied at the waist, and the slender waist was picked out The limbs are full and full, and the navel sinks into the smooth and soft lower abdomen, which is half covered by the trousers, as if hiding many temptations.
Plump breasts, deep shoulders, soft face, with dimples on the cheeks, even though she is wearing ordinary clothes, there is still a classic and elegant charm in the eyebrows and eyes.
Such a woman, wearing a pair of rubber-soled rattan slippers, standing there makes people feel so natural, exuding an aura that can blend with everything between heaven and earth.
Li Rou didn't feel this way before, but of course it's different now. He has already understood that strength is a kind of temperament, which can be restrained or dissipated, and those who control the expression of strength as they like are the real strong.
Li Rou stopped in his tracks and continued walking. When he came to his younger sister’s room, he finally remembered her favorite place to hide things when she was young, and took away her childhood diary... She herself forgot where she put it, Li Routing suddenly remembered that Li Banzhuang had been looking for it for a long time, but she couldn't find it. She had forgotten that she likes to hide things under the bed.
Li Rou left the house, still locked the iron lock, didn't look at the woman, and ignored her.
What surprised Li Rou was that when he walked out of the gate, he found that he was still inside.
Li Rou went out again, looked at the street outside, and then turned back to lock the door. At this time, he turned his head again, but he appeared in the yard again.
"What do you want?" Li Rou said, looking at the woman.
"Li Rou, I heard that you tell stories to the little princess every night?" The woman opened her eyes and looked at Li Rou with interest.
Li Rou didn't speak, he wasn't interested in talking nonsense with this woman.
"You are really a child who is good at taking care of others. Whether it is Li Zi or An Nanxiu, you have done a good job." The woman nodded her head as a compliment, "Everyone can do what he can do well. Will suffice."
"You think I was born to take care of people, and this is my destiny?" Li Rou laughed, this is his mother, Wang Hongmei or Lin Jiangxian, unlike any mother who sees a child who can do anything in the future , in her eyes, that's all she expected of her child.
"I didn't mean to look down on you. In my eyes, it doesn't matter what kind of ability a person possesses. It doesn't make any difference whether he is a high-ranking emperor or a trafficker... What matters is whether they can explain me Doing things well is the only criterion that determines whether they can please me." Lin Jiangxian patted the big jackfruit tree behind him, and looked at Li Rou with admiration, "Li Rou, I like you very much."
"Are you sick? I'm surprised that when a mother meets her son whom she hasn't seen for a long time, it's such a conversation. I didn't go down and talk nonsense with you." Li Rou said bluntly. Don't say these things that sound like a godsend.
"Since you don't regard me as a mother, why are you obsessed that I don't talk to you like a mother? I'm telling you this now mainly because you are not mediocre. recognition... You know, I have selected many people, but not everyone has the opportunity to talk to me directly." Lin Jiangxian didn't care, and looked at Li Rou gently, "Son, you have gone through the terrible Stop being a rebellious boy in your adolescence, making it difficult for people to communicate."
"What's the matter, just tell me directly. From now on, don't come to me again. I don't care for your approval." Li Rou could imagine that she would not come here to miss the past like him. Li Rou Rou has a lot of ups and downs memories here, but Li Rou is surprised that she can remember this place.
"I have never told you a story, or it may make you feel that you lack this kind of maternal love. I will tell you a story now." Lin Jiangxian sat casually on the wet ground under the big jackfruit tree, stretched straight Her legs were not afraid of the cold in winter, and the cold air didn't bring any cold skin bumps to her skin.
"I'm not interested in hearing what you said." Li Rou shook his head. He remembered that Qiao Niannu said that this woman planned to let him know something.
"Don't think too much, it's just a story." Lin Jiangxian waved his hand, signaling to Li Rou to be calm, "You are already a person who is going to be a father, and you have a relationship with your sister-in-law. Is this called stealing the forbidden fruit?"
Li Rou was silent, this topic was embarrassing, and he didn't want to discuss this issue with Lin Jiangxian.
"Do you know why it is called stealing the forbidden fruit? Where does the forbidden fruit come from?" Lin Jiangxian looked up at the jackfruit tree, which had lost all its huge fruits in winter.
Of course Li Rou knew, but he didn't say anything.
"The story of the forbidden fruit is related to Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve are the beginning of human life in western legends. They were created by God. The place where they live is called the Garden of Eden. There is a tree in the Garden of Eden called the tree of knowing good and evil. Adam and Eve Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, so she ate the forbidden fruit... Later they gave birth to a child." Lin Jiangxian paused for a moment when he said this.
"You would not say that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the tree of life. Adam and Eve did not eat the fruit, but picked up the fruit, and a child popped out of the fruit. This is the truth of the legend." Li Rou remembers An Nanxiu In elaborating her statement about the explosion of life after the prehistoric big bang, she also put forward alternative explanations of human legends as her own evidence, which is what An Nanxiu thinks.
"Jackfruit, in Buddhism, the complete pronunciation should be Paramita, but this is not important. The important thing is that jackfruit means reaching the other shore. The jackfruit tree can be understood as a tree that reaches the other shore, and can also be considered as a tree from the other shore. You should be able to figure out where this other shore is." Lin Jiangxian didn't care what Li Rou said, but just talked about it on his own.
Although Li Rou is unwilling to listen to the story of Lin Jiangxian, nor does he want to know the secrets she holds, but human curiosity is an irrepressible nature. Li Rou can't help thinking about this question, which makes him have a vague confirmation Feeling of speculation, An Nanxiu's explanation is indeed correct.
The jackfruit tree is a tree from the other side... According to An Nanxiu, the jackfruit tree is the tree of life, and this other side is naturally the Tianyun God Realm, and the jackfruit tree comes from the Tianyun God Realm... Although I already know that the Tianyun God Realm has many connections with this world , but did not expect to have such a closely related feeling.
"In China, there are also such legends... What is the story of our creation of man? Nuwa pinched the little man, and later Nuwa thought it was too slow to pinch the little man, so she took a branch soaked in muddy water and shook it, The muddy water fell on the ground and rolled, and then became a small person. This is how Nuwa created humans... This legend has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one has ever thought about why Nuwa used a branch to soak in muddy water? How much muddy water can be covered? This is not even as much as holding up a wave of muddy water and spreading it out." Lin Jiangxian laughed, as if immersed in some distant memory, "Li Rou, have you ever thought about this problem?"
Li Rou shook his head. Except for people like An Nanxiu, who would have a problem brain to think about why the legend is like this? Because most legends are made up, thinking about why is as difficult as trying to understand the logic of a madman.
"Whether it is Western sects, Hindu sects, or in China, there are trees in many cultural legends and stories related to the origin of human beings... This is not a coincidence, but because the origin of human beings is not monkeys, but life tree." Immortal Lin Jiang stroked the jackfruit tree behind him, closed his eyes and said calmly: "Whether it is the tree of knowing good and evil in the Garden of Eden, or the jackfruit tree in Buddhism that leads to the other side, or the branches in Nuwa's hands, their bodies are all different. It is the tree of life, the same tree of life."
