Chapter 286: Wei Lai's News
(The website crashed, the manuscript is gone, I rushed a chapter, a bit late, although late, but arrived)
A few days later, the first thin snow of this winter finally arrived quietly in the cold wind.
A dead tree outside the courtyard wall finally couldn't resist the erosion of wind and frost, and was blown down on the courtyard wall by the cold wind, breaking a big gap in the courtyard wall.
I found an ax to remove the branches of this dead tree one by one, and then used a saw to divide the trunk into several sections. It was the best firewood for kang in winter.
I found another brick to repair the gap in the courtyard wall.But I didn't expect that when I knocked down a few loose bricks on the courtyard wall, a fluffy thing suddenly jumped out of the hole in the wall, which shocked me, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was a squirrel.
Only then did I know that there had always been a squirrel as my neighbor, but I had never found it. I saw that it was frightened, and it got into the withered grass by the village without looking back, leaving behind on the thin snow. There was a line of thin footprints.
I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. One of my unintentional actions destroyed its home.Especially when I saw the scene in the hole in the wall, it made me even more uneasy.
A brick nest in the hole in the wall was full of peanuts and acorns, and a few shiny chestnuts.
When I saw those chestnuts, I was almost stunned.The closest chestnut tree I know is on a hillside about two kilometers away.
I often wander around the village when I have nothing to do.I have been to that hillside countless times.
I don't know how this little squirrel transported chestnuts from such a remote place to here, and there were even two small streams blocking it on the way.But it can be imagined that it must have encountered many difficulties to transport those few chestnuts here.
I think this is all the food it has this winter. It could have had a rich winter, but my original plan was ruined by an unintentional move.
I looked at the line of shallow footprints it left on the snow, and felt a little uneasy.It's freezing cold, and I don't know where it should go to shelter.Does it have companions?Can its companions accept it?If these two assumptions are negative, how should it spend this long winter?
Thinking of this, I felt faintly ashamed for my reckless behavior.Although I did it unintentionally, if I ruined an innocent life because of this, it would be a crime if I think about it.
I didn't dare to move any bricks or tiles on the wall anymore, and put back the few bricks that were knocked off.
Then I hurried back to the house, hid in front of the window and quietly observed the hole in the wall. I was looking forward to seeing it again, but I don’t know if it will have the courage to go back and continue to be my friend after being frightened. Neighbor.
I hid by the window and waited for two full days, but I never saw it return. I even bought some roasted peanuts and scattered them on the walls of the courtyard, hoping to lure it with the fragrance of peanuts. Come back, but still in vain.
Although this may seem like a small thing, it made me feel so uneasy inside that I could hardly sleep at night because of it.
Only then did I suddenly realize that before I knew it, I had become so sentimental. I would be moved by an ant stopping for a drop of rain, feel sad that a spring cicada could not keep the summer, and feel sad for a spring cicada. Whether a squirrel can survive the long winter is a matter of concern!
While I was quietly waiting for the squirrel to return, Huai En pushed the courtyard door again and came to my courtyard.
It's just that this time her face no longer had the sadness and sadness of the past, but was replaced by a look of excitement and excitement.
When she walked into the room, she was probably surprised to see me lying on the window sill and staring out motionlessly. Before I could ask her why she came, she spoke first.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm waiting for a squirrel." I replied.
"Squirrel? What squirrel?" she asked again.
So I pointed to the gap in the courtyard wall and told her what happened two days ago.
Huai En's eyes were startled and suspicious at first, but gradually became gentle as I told the story.
She probably never thought that I would be so concerned about the fate and fate of a squirrel.The way she looked at me showed a faint cry of grief, and she seemed a little lost.
Seeing the sadness hidden deep in her eyes, I suddenly realized that it was really inappropriate to say these things to her.
She probably thinks from this that I am so compassionate to a squirrel, but I keep her away from her indifferently, which may make her a little sad.
That's when I thought of her reason for coming.
"Miss Huai En, what can I do for you?"
When Huai En saw me asking a question, the expression on his face became excited again.
"Uncle, I was drunk last time, and I don't remember what I said, so don't take it to heart! I said I don't love you if I don't love you, and I'm about to do it now. This time, I have I have some good news for you!" There was a mysterious smile on her fair face.
"What good news?" I pretended to be disapproving, but intentionally ignored the first half of her sentence.
"If I tell you, can you promise me a condition?" Huai En played tricks and asked me with his head outstretched.
"Then don't tell me, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the conditions you proposed!" I glanced at her, thinking, I'm afraid she will play some tricks to lure me into the bait again, I'm afraid that when the time comes I would be powerless to resist again, so I simply refused first.
Huai En gave an unpredictable smile and didn't care about my cold attitude.
"Don't you want to know about Wei Lai?" She squinted at me.
As soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly beat violently, and my eyes widened instantly.I stared at her in disbelief and said, "What? You have news about Wei Lai? Tell me what news?"
I took a step forward and came in front of her, and my emotions were instantly stirred up by her words.
Thinking about it, Wei Lai has been away from me for nearly three years. I think about her all the time, but I suffer from not being able to get any news about her. Now I suddenly hear Huai En’s words that there is news about Wei Lai. Excited?I even forgot the root of the problem, how Huai En got the news!
"Then will you agree to my request?" Seeing that my appetite was aroused, Huai En calmed down and reiterated her request.
"What do you want me to do? I promise you everything! Tell me the news about Wei Lai!" I was almost incoherent with excitement.
"All promise me? Don't you ask me what I want you to do? What if I want you to accept my feelings?" Huai En's expression suddenly became serious.
"This..." My heart trembled, and I suddenly calmed down from the excitement. I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what expression to put on.
Huai En stared at me for a few seconds, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I'm just joking with you, it scares you like I'm a monster, do I scare you like that?" She glanced at me reproachfully, her expression seemed indifferent, but God knows what she felt in her heart.
Seeing that I was silent, Huai En let out a slight sigh.That's what I'm most concerned about.
"You told me about Wei Lai last time, and I kept it in my heart. One of my college alumni is a big V in a big forum. I told him about you and Wei Lai, and asked him to help post it. A post, asking for help from netizens, trying to see if there is a clue. Today I finally received feedback from an enthusiastic netizen. She is a kindergarten teacher. She said that there is a little girl who fits Wei Laixiang's situation... "
"Where is Wei Lai? Where is she?" Before Huai En finished speaking, my mood that had just calmed down became excited again in an instant, and I couldn't wait to blurt out and ask.
"Shanxi!" Huai En didn't hold back anymore, and didn't say a single redundant word.
"Where in Shanxi, do you have a specific address?" I asked again, as if I couldn't hold back my emotions, I only felt my heart pounding.
"Of course, I wrote it all down, and I even asked the girl's name..."
"What's your name?" I interrupted Huai En again.
"She is still called Wei Lai, but there is a word Jiang in front of her name. She changed her surname to Jiang and called Jiang Wei Lai!" Huai En looked at my face, probably because I was too excited, and her expression was also Get serious.
"Jiang... Wei Lai!" I muttered, and suddenly thought of Wei Lai's biological father.
That's right, that man's surname is indeed Jiang, I even remembered his name, his name is Jiang Chengxiu, that's right, it's Jiang Chengxiu!
Thinking of this, I became even more excited. I was almost sure that when Huai En mentioned this child, it must be Wei Lai.How can there be such a coincidence in the world, the location is right, the name is also right, although I didn't ask the age of Huai En's child, but in kindergarten, wouldn't it also coincide with Wei Lai?
It turns out that Wei Lai is already six years old, and now she is already in kindergarten, time flies so fast...
"Huai En, tell me the address quickly, I'm going to see Wei Lai!" I was so excited that I could hardly contain myself, wishing I could fly to Wei Lai immediately, God knows how much I miss my daughter!
"Uncle, are you going now?" Huai En asked me.
"Yes, right now, leave immediately, Huai En give me the address!" I urged again.
"Uncle, I have the address in mind, I will go with you!" Huai En looked at me with a serious expression full of hope, as if telling me that she was not joking.
Huai En's words calmed me down a bit. Although I was eager to see Wei Lai, it seemed inappropriate to ask Huai En to accompany me.
"Huai En, you still have to teach the children, and it's too cold and the road is so far away, there's really no need for you to come with me, just stay!" I dissuaded.
Unexpectedly, Huai En said with a serious face: "I am not afraid of the cold weather and the long journey. I have already arranged the students' lessons, and I will make up for them when I come back!"
"But... I'm going to see my daughter, why do you have to go with me?" I was a little puzzled.
"I made this happen, I have to go and see it, and I have already promised netizens that I will personally record the moment when your father and daughter met! I also want to share it with the enthusiastic netizens, what I promised is of course We must do it!" Huai En spoke righteously, explaining the reason why she must follow me.
I saw her face is determined, love can't make her change her mind, and she said that she has the address in mind, if she coerces her with this, I'm afraid I can only agree in the end, I'm even sure that's what she called idea.
After a moment of silence, he finally sighed slightly and said, "Are you really going?"
Huai En nodded affirmatively!
"Then go back and pack your bags, we'll set off immediately."
Seeing that I finally agreed, Huai En smiled immediately, nodded to me again, then turned and left briskly.
I packed up some clothes in a panic, then hurriedly locked the door and rushed to Huai En's school.
At the moment when I locked the courtyard door, I accidentally saw the gap in the courtyard wall again, secretly said sorry to the missing squirrel, locked the door and turned to leave.
