Flight of the Bumblebee

"According to the latest news released by the Meteorological Observatory, the heavy rain turned to light rain in some areas of our city, and the rain eased in the afternoon. There will be precipitation today and tomorrow, and the wind force will be 7-9. Citizens are advised to travel carefully. There will be dense thunderstorms over the city at night Phenomenon, our city has issued a red lightning warning signal, and there is a high possibility of lightning disasters, please take precautions with relevant units and personnel..."

"What happened?" He Qi squatted in front of her, looking at Niu Niu very worriedly, countless bad thoughts swirled in his head, it is definitely not a trivial matter to make Niu Niu cry like this. "Where's your mother?" he asked anxiously.

Niu Niu hugged Xing Yan's waist, and he picked her up from the ground, wiped off the tears and snot all over her face with his hands, and wiped them on his clothes without hesitation.Anyway, it will be replaced in a while.

Niuniu was very sad, she cried until she hiccupped, looking at Xing Yan's face, she was so wronged.Xing Yan asked her worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this?"

"Ayan! Ayan!" She squeezed out her voice intermittently from her throat.

Xing Yan had a distressed expression on his face. He didn't know what to do now, so he could only imitate the appearance on TV, gently patted her on the back with his hands, and gently shook her in his arms.

He Qi ran downstairs, the anti-theft door was open, and the door inside was ajar. He called Miss Wang to the living room, but no one answered.

Xing Yan looked at him, then turned to Niuniu and said softly, "Don't worry, tell us what happened, okay?"

"My mother is leaving!" Niu Niu threw out a message that shocked the two people present, but fortunately she then said: "She is taking me away." After hearing the second part of her sentence, He Qi, The heart that suddenly rose to the throat slowly descended again, but it was still hanging in the air. "You said, what does it mean she wants to take you away?" He Qi stood at the door of her house, raised his neck and asked her.

"We're going back to my mother's hometown and we won't live here anymore," she said while sobbing.

"No way..." He Qi climbed up the escalator as if sleepwalking, Xing Yan was too shocked to react.

"Didn't your mother say that she would take you to rent a house nearby? Why did she say she wanted to leave?"

He Qi's heart was full of mixed feelings, which was very unpleasant.It was clear that the four of them were happily setting off fireworks on the roof yesterday, and he planned to invite their mother and daughter upstairs for dinner this weekend.He didn't have many friends, and finally got to know their mother and daughter in this city. Who would have thought that they would be separated in an instant.

Sister Wang came out at some unknown time, and stood at the door dragging a big suitcase.On the trunk was a hand-held travel bag.After coming to the big city to work hard for nearly ten years, all she can bring back is this little thing, her daughter, and a heart that has been wounded to pieces.

She stood downstairs and greeted Niuniu.Niuniu buried her tearful face in Xing Yan's arms, and shouted loudly: "No!" Her mother smiled wryly from below: "Don't act like a baby to brother Ayan, we have to go to the bus station, time is running fast arrive."

Tears welled up in Xing Yan's eye sockets unknowingly, and he was sure that this was an irreversible parting.It came so suddenly, so unexpectedly, he didn't even think about how to say goodbye to Niu Niu.In the past month, not only one of them has gained weight in his heart, but also this poor and lovely little girl, who is sometimes delicate and sometimes willful, but she is extremely sensible in her heart, and her sensibleness is also distressing.

Now, she was crying in his arms, weeping uncontrollably, tears streaming from those beautiful big eyes.For more than a month, the memories of the two of them getting along flooded my mind. Xing Yan, a man in his twenties, was crying regardless of his image.

"Come down, Niuniu, we should go." Sister Wang stood downstairs and called again.

"I don't want it, I don't want it! Mom is talking big! I don't want to be separated from A Yan!" Niuniu shouted angrily in Xing Yan's arms.

He Qi walked down and asked Sister Wang with a puzzled face: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Could something have happened at home?"

Sister Wang felt uncomfortable looking at Niu Niu. She showed a bitter expression and said to He Qi: "Our rent is due, and Niu Niu and I can't support me and Niu Niu with the cost of working alone in this city. I can only Take her back to her hometown and let my mother take care of her."

"Then your mother... your family..."

"They don't know anything. I just need to say that Niu Niu's father passed away, leaving her alone, my mother will understand."

A woman who lost her husband, a woman who was cruelly abandoned, in such a conservative place in the countryside, even her own family, whose blood is thicker than water, can hardly accept it.The rumors and gossip around are not simply to be ignored, and then you can really muddle along.He Qi came from the same closed small place, he knew exactly what Sister Wang and Niuniu would face when they went back, but there was nothing he could do.He can't even support himself, let alone help others, what qualifications does he have to help others.

Looking at Sister Wang's strong smile, He Qi felt very uncomfortable.How much he wanted to tell her: Stay here, I will do my best to help you, look at Xing Yan, how desolate he was back then, I picked him up and kept him at home, and he also found a job in a supermarket. get better.Haven't you worked hard in this city for a long time?Came here many years ago, when I was still a teenager.Who doesn't have a dream in his arms, who didn't want to gain a firm foothold in the big city when he arrived, how can he just give up?A lazy person like me can barely survive here, and I have raised Xing Yan who eats rice for more than a month, isn't he living well!Niu Niu is so young, if you leave her at your grandmother's house in the countryside and go out to work alone, she is a left-behind child.In the TV news, left-behind children all have a pair of precocious eyes that make people feel distressed.He didn't want to see Niuniu become like this.

But when He Qi saw the exhaustion in Sister Wang's eyes, he suddenly realized that his thoughts were too naive.

All the words were stuck in his throat.

Ten years, what does it mean to a woman?

Penniless and without a degree, she came to the dizzying big city alone, and all she did was work for a subsistence wage.On the other side of the city, the feasting and feasting, the elegant life has nothing to do with her.She was deceived by a man, gave birth to a daughter early, and was abandoned again.This city hurt her so deeply, and she used to work hard, like a good bullfighting bull, walking eagerly up and down the stairs to go to work or go home.

She was really tired, and even the vitality that He Qi had felt in her from a quick glance on the stairs had been completely wiped out in more than a month of struggling to survive.

How many young dreams have been swallowed up by the dazzling city.

He Qi's chest was filled with depression, and his tightly closed lips trembled slightly. Looking at Sister Wang, he seemed to see himself.

No.

He laughed at himself in his heart and said: How can he compare to Sister Wang, at least she has worked hard, she has struggled.And he has never done anything, living in the city like a walking dead without a soul, commuting to and from get off work on time, without thinking about the future.He felt that he was like the most inconspicuous and indifferent screw on a giant machine, no one would care if it fell off, there are plenty of substitutes anyway.After Xing Yan came, the situation improved.But now, that feeling has been awakened again, it turns out that it has been entrenched in his heart like a hibernating serpent, just waiting for an opportunity for the ice and snow to melt, to wake up again, and devour him bit by bit.

In July and August, at the end of the summer vacation, it was windy and windy outside, with lightning and thunder. Standing in the stairwell with insufficient light, he felt cold all over his body, like a slippery snake crawling up inch by inch along his toe tips.

Sister Wang said that they only had these luggage, and the rest were thrown away.She went upstairs in the morning, the door was closed, and she saw He Qi sleeping through the window of the small kitchen, she left without waking him up.Niuniu couldn't take her electronic piano with her, so she asked the landlord to keep it for them. She wanted to give it to them face to face, but she didn't even have time to say goodbye.

Niuniu cried for a long time, but obediently returned to her mother's arms.

When we were leaving, the rain just stopped, there was thunder rolling, and the clouds flickered, only a rumbling sound came from the sky, and the thunder seemed to be far away.But the sky above their heads was still covered with dark clouds, and they didn't know when it would rain again.

He Qi and Xing Yan sent them to the taxi, and Niu Niu lay on her mother's shoulder, staring at them intently, there were no tears in her eyes, and there were only calm eyes.When He Qi helped Sister Wang put the suitcase into the trunk of the car, Niuniu stretched out her hand to Xing Yan and let Xing Yan hold it. She put her face on her mother's shoulder, looked at Xing Yan and said, "Brother Ayan, We won't see each other again. I'm leaving."

Xing Yan tried his best to keep smiling. He suppressed the sadness in his heart and said to Niu Niu: "No, your mother has my phone number. If you miss me in the future, just call me and I will contact you often. .”

Niu Niu's dark and slender eyelashes drooped down, covering her big eyes in the shadows, she withdrew her hand, put it on her mother's shoulder, and said goodbye to him sadly: "I will miss you, you are my mother." My first friend, my Ultraman prince, I hope you don't forget me." After saying this, she cried again.

Sister Wang carried her into the taxi, closed the door, and waved goodbye to them outside the car window.

The driver started the car, sprayed a white exhaust in their direction, and walked slowly.

It was raining again at this time, and they all forgot to bring umbrellas with empty hands.Fortunately, it was just a drizzle, like a curtain of tulle in early spring in the Jiangnan area, covering them like a dark curtain separating He Qi and Xing Yan from the other world.

They walked silently in the white rain, letting the cool rain wet their eyebrows and hair, and they were not in the mood to hide their heads from the rain.

Walking under the rental house, He Qi stopped suddenly in front of the anti-theft door. Xing Yan noticed that he didn't follow, and the movement of opening the door also stopped.

He turned around, looked at him, and stood there blankly, not knowing how to react.

There are two clear marks on He Qi's face, which are not rainwater.

The rain was getting heavier, falling from the tall building, and sprinkled on He Qi's body, face, and clothes.He didn't move until Xing Yan pulled him in and bumped him into his arms, so that the cruel rain would no longer fall on his head.

He was drenched, his clothes were soaked in water, his body was slightly cold, trembling slightly in Xing Yan's arms.

Xing Yan raised his two strong arms, wrapping him firmly in his arms.

His eyes were buried on Xing Yan's tall, slightly muscular shoulders, and warm liquid gurgled silently.

In the end, no words of farewell were said.

"Xing Yan, is society difficult, or are people like us difficult to live in society?" He Qi said in a low voice.
