Lin Banxia noticed Song Qingluo's remarks, he was talking about the "things" he was looking for, not people. Obviously, if it weren't for a special situation, normal people would never use the word "thing" to refer to their mother. Lin Banxia hesitated, "What does this... plate have to do with your mother?"
Song Qingluo turned her head and looked at the big man at the door.
The big man was still aggressive just now, but now he looks like a little girl being bullied, standing cautiously at the door, his face full of helplessness, Lin Banxia even suspects that he will cry the next moment.
Song Qingluo walked up to him expressionlessly: "Where did you buy this porcelain plate?"
The big man said, "This, this is what I bought in the town."
Song Qingluo: "When did you buy it?"
The big man seemed to be at a loss for what he remembered. Facing Song Qingluo's death stare, he continued to work hard at the memory. After thinking for a while, he barely remembered something: "It seems that in May, I bought a batch of goods. No one bought the plate, so it has been left in the store." He originally wanted to take it in his hand and take a serious look, but seeing that Song Qingluo didn't want to let go and didn't dare to ask for it, he had to look at it for a while. Who knew that the more I looked at it, the more wrong it became, and I wondered, "Hey? But I remember that when I bought this plate, it was not a picture of a figure, but a pine and cypress? This painting looks so strange... Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Song Qingluo would trouble him, so he took two steps back embarrassedly: "Maybe it was me, I remembered it wrong."
Song Qingluo had a gloomy expression on her face and didn't say a word for a long time. Fortunately, he didn't have to trouble the big man again. He turned around and gave Lin Banxia a wink, motioning for him to go home.
Lin Banxia followed behind him, walking slower, and said, "By the way, how much did you sell for the bottle and the porcelain plate?"
The big man said, "I'll give you the porcelain plate, the bottle, the bottle... One... One..." He originally wanted to say a thousand, but he was afraid of the beautiful man in front of him. After a long time, he said, "One hundred."
"What?!" Lin Banxia was shocked, "One hundred?? I just scanned the QR code and scanned three hundred and five!"
The big man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then I'll give you the money back, and I'll give you this plate."
Lin Banxia: "How embarrassing, how much money we have, you can refund me two hundred and fifty."
The big man thought to himself that he was really a 250. He went to Kouhuahua to do something, but he didn't dare to refute. He silently took out his mobile phone and swept Lin Banxia back to 250, just as spending money to eliminate disasters. Lin Banxia was satisfied and thought that the next time he bargained for the price, he could be more ruthless, but he didn't know that the blood was dripping with his big knife, and only his head was left.
Song Qingluo held the porcelain plate and was silent the whole way. Lin Banxia knew that he was thinking about something, and did not dare to disturb him. From Mr. Zhu before, he learned about Song Qingluo's life experience. Song Qingluo's father died in the study and turned into a skeleton with only bones. Therefore, Song Qingluo's mother moved out of the courtyard with him, and then left Song Qingluo alone.
Now it seems that the mother's departure seems to have other hidden reasons. Then the problem appeared again. Lin Banxia clearly remembered that Song Qingluo said at that time, "My mother is dead", but Mr. Zhu insisted that Song Qingluo's mother was fine, and the two disagreed. Although it can be explained that Song Qingluo is angry, no matter how you think about it, it feels weird.
Countless questions plagued Lin Banxia, and the answers were all in Song Qingluo's hands.
The two were speechless all the way and returned to the villa of Li Su's family. At this moment, the sun has set, the sunset glows all over the sky, and the red and bright clouds are like fire, dazzling and amazingly beautiful. The warm light hit Song Qingluo's silent face, making him look like he was about to burn out with the glow. Lin Banxia looked at it, her heart suddenly felt a little nervous, she reached out and grabbed Song Qingluo's hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm here too, things will always be resolved..."
Song Qingluo hummed in a low voice.
The two entered the courtyard and saw Li Su standing not far away, watering the flowers. Li Ye was beside him. He took off his shoes and rolled up his trousers and was serving the flowers and plants. The two seemed to be in exceptional harmony. , looking back at them. Li Su waved his hand and greeted the two of them, "Going shopping in the town? Did you buy something?"
Lin Banxia said, "I didn't buy anything."
Song Qingluo ignored Li Su and walked into the house with the porcelain plate in her arms. Li Su was startled by his appearance, and whispered, "What happened to him? What happened?"
Lin Banxia felt that it was better not to let Li Su know about Song Qingluo's family. She shook her head and said nothing. He handed over the porcelain vase in his hand: "This is your painting, right?"
Li Su: "...Huh?" He lowered his head and looked at the thing in Lin Banxia's hand.
It was an exquisite blue-and-white porcelain vase. The pattern on it, Li Su recognized it at a glance, and his face changed greatly: "Where did you buy it?"
Lin Banxia said, "It's in the small town store."
Li Su: "How is it possible?!!"
Lin Banxia said: "Why is it impossible, it was indeed bought in the town."
Li Su said, "Song Qingluo is because of this?"
Lin Banxia whispered: "No, yes... It's something about his family."
Seeing this, Li Su understood, skipped the question, and said, "Can you talk to me about this bottle in detail?"
Lin Banxia said, "Can I be a little later? I'll go see Qingluo first." He felt that Song Qingluo's mood was not right from just now, and he was really worried.
Li Su nodded and motioned for him to go. Lin Banxia then turned around and left.
Looking at his back, Li Su held the hand of the porcelain vase, and because of excessive force, blue veins burst out, he took a deep breath, suppressed some kind of boiling emotion, and said to Li Ye: "Let's go, go and prepare first. dinner."
"Okay." Li Ye replied softly.
Lin Banxia went back to where they lived, and saw Song Qingluo sitting on the balcony, rubbing his fingers on the porcelain plate he bought, with an indifferent expression, not sure what he was thinking.
Lin Banxia walked to his side and called softly, "Qing Luo."
Song Qingluo turned around and saw that it was Lin Banxia, her indifferent expression loosened, and said, "Banxia."
Lin Banxia said, "Can you... talk to me? Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. I'll just ask."
"Of course you can." Song Qingluo said, "You can all know about me." He sighed, as if he was preparing himself, his whole body tensed up, and he spoke slowly to Lin Ban. Xia talked about what happened back then.
After Song Qingluo's father had an accident, his mother took him out of the yard and moved to another place to live. But the death of my father is not the end of this chilling story, but a beginning.
Song Qingluo suddenly discovered that his body had undergone some strange changes. His weight began to decrease, and his strength also increased. There was even a strange sound around him, as if something was constantly calling. him, lure him closer. The one who changed with him was his mother, the beautiful and gentle woman who chose to keep her son behind her even at the most difficult moment, and some strange changes began to appear in her body.
"At that time they wanted to take me away, but my mother didn't agree." Song Qingluo said, "There was no way, so many people were stationed near our house to guard me and my mother. At that time, I was still young. , I'm just like six or seven years old, I don't know what these changes mean..."
Lin Banxia said, "What about later?"
Song Qingluo said, "My mother disappeared later."
Lin Banxia was stunned.
"No one noticed that she was gone." Song Qingluo said, "I don't even know how to explain to you, everyone, including the staff, think she still lives in that house, but I know , she's gone..." His tone was a little heavy, "I can't see her, but others can see it, as if the crazy person was me-I know, I'm not crazy, it's my mother, and I The father became the same thing."
This was a fact that Song Qingluo figured out later.
Lin Banxia almost understood. Li Su once told him that more than one heretical thing was found in Song Qingluo's study. The effects of these heretical things obviously had an impact on the family of three living in the house. The father became a skeleton, the mother disappeared directly, and Song Qingluo also became a light-weight companion who could even accommodate heresy things. .
According to Song Qingluo, everyone can see his mother, except himself.
This kind of change almost drove the young Song Qingluo crazy. Fortunately, the situation did not last long, and the phantom disappeared. Before it disappeared, someone saw her hurriedly leaving the train station with her luggage. So far, Song Qing Luo was completely orphaned.
With the departure of her mother, Song Qingluo had two choices. One was to enter the base and become the youngest monitor in history. go down.
Song Qingluo, whose family was ruined, chose the former without hesitation.
Lin Banxia listened very silently. He was a man who had never been loved by his parents since he was a child, but he also knew that losing something after getting it was more painful than never getting it. Don't look at Song Qingluo talking about what happened in the past, so lightly, but the great changes in the family will definitely carve ferocious wounds on his soul, and these wounds will never heal, but with the growth of age , deep into the bone marrow.
Lin Banxia was a little sad to hear: "Did you find something later?"
Song Qingluo said, "Yes."
Lin Banxia: "What?"
Song Qingluo said: "I always felt that my mother was still by my side. After entering the base, I kept looking for her. In the fifth year of my watchmanship, I finally found her trace."
Lin Banxia said, "Have you found it?"
Song Qingluo said, "I found... her body."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo said, "Guess where I found it?"
His tone was too gloomy, making Lin Banxia nervous, and he whispered, "Where?"
Song Qingluo laughed at herself: "It's under the bed where I live."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo said, "I found a piece of dry human skin. Although I am very reluctant, I can confirm that it is my mother." When he said this, he took a long breath, as if to suppress Some emotions were surging in his chest, "I don't know how long it has been placed under the bed, and it's completely out of shape. When I picked it up, it was broken..."
Lin Banxia didn't know what to say, so she held Song Qingluo's hand tightly.
"Then there is the DNA test, it really belongs to my mother." Song Qingluo said, "I feel right, that thing that I can't see but can see is not my mother, it is the effect of heresy, I My mother is already dead."
Lin Banxia knew that this story would never end with the death of Song Qingluo's mother, otherwise the porcelain plate that Song Qingluo was holding would not appear. He was a little nervous and whispered, "What about it later?"
Song Qingluo said, "Afterwards, I was depressed for a long time. You know, when a person has no goals, everything is boring." He leaned on the chair, as if afraid of Lin Banxia's worries, facing the He showed a reassuring smile, "But it's different now, I have you."
Lin Banxia hummed in distress: "I'm here."
"Continue." Song Qingluo said, "I may have been depressed for a few months. When I was on a mission, I suddenly found something else."
Lin Banxia said, "What?"
Song Qingluo said: "I found a piece of porcelain in an antique shop - it painted the exact same person as my mother. It's not like, but exactly the same. There is a very distinctive beauty mole on the corner of my mother's mouth. The portrait painting on her is exactly the same as hers, I even thought I had hallucinations at the time, but I asked the people next to me and they all saw it, it was not a hallucination."
Lin Banxia hesitated: "But could it be a coincidence?"
"Yes, I thought so too at first." Song Qingluo said, "I thought it might just be a coincidence, but later, I started to consciously visit the antique store and found that some of the antiques in the store have traces of my mother. There are too many coincidences. , it was no coincidence that I began to suspect that my mother existed in this world in another way…”
Lin Banxia looked at the porcelain plate in Song Qingluo's hand, and remembered the beautiful and elegant appearance of that woman. Also, Song Qingluo is so good-looking, it's impossible for his parents' genes to be bad, but what did he think of, his expression Suddenly a little embarrassed.
Song Qingluo misunderstood Lin Banxia's expression and said, "What's wrong?"
Lin Banxia said, "Cough, cough, that is, when your mother sold my porcelain, I negotiated the price..."
Song Qingluo thought it was nothing: "Is it normal to bargain? I also bargained."
Lin Banxia said, "What did you say?"
Song Qingluo said, "Just ask the boss if you can make it cheaper."
Lin Banxia said, "If the boss calls three million? How much do you say?"
Song Qingluo didn't think there was anything wrong with the number 3 million, but she thought about it seriously, and she was probably still muttering that she couldn't make her daughter-in-law feel like she was a loser, so she tentatively said a number: "Two... one hundred and eighty?"
Lin Banxia: "Haha."
Song Qingluo didn't understand: "How much did you talk about?"
Lin Banxia compared three.
Song Qingluo didn't understand: "Three? Two hundred and three? Then you really know how to bargain."
Lin Banxia smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Three hundred."
Song Qingluo: "..."
Lin Banxia: "Your mother doesn't despise the poor, right?" Although from the context at the time, it felt that Song Qingluo's mother was about to wave her hand away after he shouted three hundred.
Song Qingluo didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't know whether she was shocked by Lin Banxia's three hundred, or she was worried that her mother had a bad impression of this future daughter-in-law. The two stared at each other for a while, and the sadness just now was swept away, and they all turned into worries about reality.
"It's okay, my mother is very generous." Song Qingluo comforted the uneasy Lin Banxia, "You can live like this... She will definitely not despise you."
Lin Banxia said something with a smile on her face, that's fine.
The topic returned to heresy. Song Qingluo said that because of these discoveries, he began to collect antiques indefinitely. It can be said that for a long time, this incident was the driving force behind Song Qingluo's life. Lin Banxia was very distressed and said, "Have you seen your mother?"
"No." Song Qingluo said, "I haven't seen her." He was also a little puzzled, "Before today, I always thought she couldn't show up, but I didn't expect you to actually see her." This means that she should be It can appear in the real world, so why hasn't she met her beloved son after so many years
Lin Banxia couldn't understand.
Obviously, like him, there is Song Qingluo who doesn't understand this.
Song Qingluo said: "Maybe there is a reason, we haven't figured it out yet..."
Lin Banxia nodded, intending to say a few more words to Song Qingluo, when the phone rang, someone sent him a message. Lin Banxia picked it up and saw that it was sent by Li Su, saying that the barbecue grill was ready and was downstairs, so they should hurry down and do coolies, don't wait to eat ready-made ones. Although the tone was mean, Lin Banxia still felt that Li Su was actually a little worried about the two of them, so he said, "Let's go to dinner first? Li Su and the others are waiting downstairs."
"Okay." Song Qingluo nodded in agreement.
The two carefully placed the porcelain plate in the room, turned around and went downstairs, walked to the yard, and saw the smoke rising from the cooking. In the corner of the yard, Li Su and Li Ye had prepared the ingredients, raised the charcoal fire, and started a happy barbecue.
At this moment, the sun completely went down, and the dark blue night shrouded the sky. Li Su finally unbuttoned the equipment that wrapped him tightly, and let his skin feel the night wind blowing.
Song Qingluo rolled up her sleeves, walked naturally to the barbecue grill, and took care of the food together with Li Ye. Although it was dark, it was still a little hot near the charcoal stove. After a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Song Qingluo's forehead, and the sweat dripped down his forehead to his lips. Rolling the beads of sweat into his mouth, Lin Banxia, who was watching, blushed inexplicably.
He was embarrassed to say it, pretended not to see it, continued to stare at the chicken wings on the grill, and said, "Li Su, can you eat spicy food?"
"Yes, yes." Li Su said, "I also prepared cold beer."
Li Ye said, "You can't drink."
Li Su said, "Oh, big brother, it's hard for everyone to get together once. It's a hot day, just let me go." Lin Banxia felt unbearable when she saw the face.
However, Li Ye was obviously already full of resistance to this. He didn't lift his eyelids, he just said coldly, "No way."
Li Su: "... I'm older than you, why the hell should I listen to you, I'm going to drink it today!!!"
Li Ye: "Are you sure?"
Li Su was stunned.
Lin Banxia watched the conversation between the two and couldn't help but smile. Although he felt that Li Su was pitiful, he did not dare to persuade him. After all, Li Ye must be doing it for the good of Li Su, and he didn't let him drink. Naturally, there was a reason, probably because he was worried about Li Su's physical condition. The cold beer left a layer of white frost on the glass. After entering it, it went all the way down the throat, taking away the hot summer heat, making people want to sigh loudly. The brand of this beer, Lin Pinellia, is unknown. , but the taste is very good, mellow and strong, there is no astringency, and it is delicious.
Li Su nibbled at the chicken wings resentfully beside him, and the more he gnawed, the more angry he became. Just when he was about to explode, Li Ye suddenly reached out and brought something to his lips. Li Su bowed his head, and his lips touched the cold wall of the cup. After looking carefully, I found out that it was a full glass of cold beer. I immediately smiled and was no longer angry, and said, "Little Ivan, you are so cute."
Li Ye ignored him.
Ivan should be Li Ye's Russian name, but Lin Banxia heard Li Su's name for the first time and thought that the relationship between the two was really close.
Song Qingluo's excellent cooking skills were perfectly displayed at this time. It was obviously the same material, but in his hands, it became extraordinarily delicious. The ingredients are tender on the outside and tender on the inside, elastic and juicy, with the unique aroma of charcoal fire, which makes people very satisfied. Lin Banxia likes the rice cakes he baked the most. They are white and tender. They are browned on the outside and sprinkled with some sugar. Take a bite. The outside is crispy, and the filling is soft and hot inside.
Under the night, the four of them were chatting while grilling. Li Su talked the most and talked about a lot of old things that happened in the base, including Song Qingluo's embarrassing things. Probably because of Li Ye's presence, he felt that Song Qingluo would not dare to beat him, so he laughed and told Lin Banxia that Song Qingluo was actually liked by a lot of people in the base, both men and women. No one dared to say, after all, this guy was as terrifying as a devil when he turned his face.
Lin Banxia listened with relish: "Has no one ever confessed to him?"
Li Su said, "Yes."
Lin Banxia said, "Then what is Song Qingluo's reaction?"
Li Su said, "This guy is not human at all. The girl is a companion. After confessing to him shyly, he was silent for a while and calmly asked the girl a question."
Lin Banxia said, "What's the problem?"
Li Su said: "He said, are you a companion? I was restless when I slept at night, will I accidentally seal you up?"
Lin Banxia looked at Song Qingluo in shock.
Li Su laughed exaggeratedly: "Then the girl turned around and left, and her eyes were still red when she left - since then, no one has come to him again."
Lin Banxia said, "How could this be possible!"
Song Qingluo put a bunch of sausages into Lin Banxia's mouth expressionlessly: "Then why don't you teach me how to refuse?"
Lin Banxia: "I'm sorry, are you a good person?"
"Tsk." Li Su sighed, "Lin Banxia, you are a skilled worker. Come on, how many little girls have you rejected?"
Lin Banxia said shyly: "If there is nothing, I will never refuse it."
Li Su: "Huh?"
Lin Banxia: "Because I can't react at all..."
Song Qingluo was silent: "..." He actually felt the same.
The author has something to say:
Without that dream.
One morning ten years later, Lin Banxia suddenly woke up: I seem to have been confessed! ! !
Song Qingluo lifted her eyelids: Go to sleep, the child is three years old
Lin Banxia: ! ! !
