Give a bellflower to the drowning ghost

65

Although Wang Ze didn't say where he was going, the forest ranger agreed.

No matter what Wang Ze wants now, I am afraid he will accept it all.

66

But when he agreed, he didn't expect that he would have to drive for at least eight hours.

"I repent," said the ranger.

Wang Ze said: "It's not for you to drive. You can lie down and sleep when you're tired. I have to sit with my seat belt all the time and my back hurts."

The ranger said: "Then you can sit in a car alone, and lie down on the back when you are tired."

Wang Ze took a deep breath and put his hands together: "Please! I really dare not go to this place alone!"

It wasn't until they discovered that Wang Ze had packed two or three sets of clothes that the ranger realized that eight hours was just a drive, not including rest time.

The two of them went down the mountain with light luggage, and two brand new cars were parked at the foot of the mountain. When the familiar bodyguard saw Wang Ze, he respectfully handed over the car keys.

The ranger threw the backpack on the seat: "You asked the family to drive a new car over for this?"

Wang Ze sat in the driver's seat: "I just told them that I need a car." He pointed to the two strong men.

The ranger said directly: "You don't have a good relationship with your family?"

Wang Ze stepped on the accelerator: "In the eyes of ordinary people, it is extremely good. After all, there will never be any shortage of materials."

The ranger said, "But in your eyes, it's the opposite."

Wang Ze said: "Probably, but most people will compare me with people who are not as good as me, as if I have no right to feel dissatisfied with my parents because my parents have a lot of money."

The ranger said: "So I want to accompany you to do parent-child communication activities?"

Wang Ze smiled: "I won't waste time on such things."

Their car drove onto the road in the village, kicking up a cloud of sand.

Wang Ze turned the steering wheel and walked around to the gate of the middle school where the ranger and the policeman had studied.He rolled down the car window and shouted to the teacher sitting in the guard room: "Aunt Lin!"

Auntie heard the sound and shouted happily: "Hey! Xiao Wang! Where are you going to play?"

Wang Ze grabbed the ranger's hand and shook it like offering a treasure: "Take him to the city for a few days!"

The aunt clapped her hands like a child: "It's great! You two have fun!"

When it was out of the sight of the aunt, the ranger asked, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Ze said: "When I saw her before, she was always worried that you were too withdrawn and had no friends, so she took you out for a walk to show her."

The ranger rolled his eyes: "I'm going to get out of the car and go back."

Wang Ze smiled and said, "Don't."

After a while, the forest ranger said, "Her husband and son both left early by accident, so they like to worry about other people's affairs."

Wang Ze glanced at the ranger in the rearview mirror: "But no matter what the reason is, even though you have graduated for several years, she still misses you."

The ranger was stunned: "...um."

69

The rangers seldom leave this remote mountain village, and only when something unavoidable happens, they will wait a long time for a car to go to the town.

And as far as he could remember, he had never been further than the town.

The speed is very steady, and it quickly enters the entrance of the highway.

The blue sign flashed past, the silver-white guardrail extended infinitely, and the high-voltage electricity tower stood on the ground, connecting each other with wires.

Wang Ze asked, "Didn't you bring the game with you?"

The ranger tore his sight out of the car window: "No."

Those are relics after all.

In his case, he probably wouldn't want to leave that place.

Wang Ze freed one hand and pulled out a notebook from the storage rack: "If you feel bored in the car, read this to relieve your boredom."

The forest ranger reached out and took it. It was a common loose-leaf book. There was nothing written on the cover, but the paper was unexpectedly yellow and old, and it made a crisp sound to the touch.

Wang Ze stared straight ahead without turning his head: "Or should I say, I want you to take a look at this."

The ranger opened the loose-leaf book and felt his throat tighten when he saw those familiar characters.

Wang Ze said: "That's the letter he wrote to me before, all of them."

70

Second letter.

The writer's handwriting is very beautiful, neatly transcribed on the letter paper printed with flower patterns.This short letter was carefully pasted on the loose-leaf paper by Wang Ze, and it was well preserved.

To you who have never met:

I never imagined that I would hear from you again, or rather, I sincerely hope that you will not write to me again.

After all, I can only imagine that you have no one around to talk to at this moment, so you are desperately looking to an unknown stranger.

Based on the situation you mentioned before, I probably guess that your family environment is very complicated, but no matter what kind of family environment it is, the first thing you should do is to protect yourself, and then consider protecting your family.

I mean, you can't give someone else's photos of your father and secretary, especially your mother, and I even hope you get rid of those photos.

You love your parents, if you confess to your mother, you will suffer for betraying your father; if you hide it for your father, you will feel guilty for cheating your mother.

But this is a relationship issue between them, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with what your uncle has done, I can guarantee this with my reputation.They are adults and should be responsible for their actions and the vows they said at the wedding.

Forget about it.

Whoever handed you these pictures I can only imagine is an immoral scumbag - only the worst would ever let a child make that kind of decision.

it's not your fault.

Only this, please believe me.

Wang Ze drove the car into the nearest gas station: "Maybe there is not enough gas, so let's rest here for a while, my waist is stiff."

They parked nearby and walked a few steps along the sand-strewn road.

The endless sea, along with the sea wind, rolls up layers of waves, and smashes them on the reef, bringing a cool breath.

The ranger said involuntarily, "It's so salty."

Wang Ze said, "This is the first time you have seen the sea."

The ranger said, "Yes."

Wang Ze said: "Let's take a closer look, anyway, there is plenty of time."

Instigated by Wang Ze, the ranger climbed over the guardrail and stepped on the wet rock.Although it was different from the moss-covered rocks, the ranger quickly grasped his balance and stood up straight on the reef.

Wang Ze grabbed the ranger's hand and finally climbed up smoothly.He shouted in the sound of the waves: "Isn't it very vast? Whether it's tiredness or troubles, it becomes very small in front of the sea, as if you don't need to care about it at all!"

The ranger turned his gaze from the sea to Wang Ze.

Wang Ze opened his hands, his hair and clothes were blown up by the wind, he laughed loudly: "It's too small!"

72

They dug out the snacks and bread in the luggage, and took the sea view as lunch.Wang Ze seems to like the sea more than the forest rangers, and his eyes are always chasing layers of white waves.

Wang Ze suddenly asked: "How do you read those letters?"

"Just started," said the ranger.

Sitting on the rock, Wang Ze hugged his knees, showing half of his face, which made him look even more childish: "The first letter was his reply about the kidnapping case, you remember this. The second letter was two years ago. Received later."

He said: "Probably when I was in junior high school, I found an envelope in the birthday card my classmate gave me. It contained a photo of my father having an affair with the secretary. The scale was quite large. It may be The two of them took pictures by themselves. At that time, I felt very distressed and didn’t know what to do with those things, so I wrote to him again, and after receiving that reply, I burned all the photos.”

The ranger said slowly, "And then?"

Wang Ze said: "And then... when my mother went to visit my little uncle, the little uncle confessed that this was something he sent someone to do, and that even your son was hiding it from you. It’s really nice, stuff like that.”

The ranger stopped chewing: "Your uncle is really obsessed with your family."

Wang Ze said: "I don't know, maybe other things happened in the past two years."

73

"Then what happened later," the forest ranger couldn't help asking, "Didn't your mother suffer a lot?"

Wang Ze stared at the horizon, and from the ranger's perspective, he could only see his white ears: "Not really."

"It's completely different from what I imagined at the time. She didn't blame me for hiding it, and she didn't argue with my father because of this matter-it should be said that I don't even know how they handled this matter, and that secretary."

"She just told me that my brother-in-law did this, and told me to pay attention to the people around me. She also sent someone to check all my classmates, and completed the transfer procedures for me in less than half a month. "

Wang Ze stood up.

"It makes me think she's kind of scary."
