Husky and Sunflower

After a night of heavy snow, the highway has been closed.We can only follow the ordinary road, slowing down and hurrying.I don't know where Liu Jia is going to take me, anyway, now, I don't know where else I can go.

Stop and go, passing gas stations or small restaurants and hotels in the middle, we will take a break, have a meal and refuel, and continue on our way after the rest.Although the speed was a bit slow, we arrived at P City at noon the next day, which is the small county where Liu Jia and I stayed before, the hometown of my mother, and the place where my grandfather was buried.

I didn't expect that I would return to this place after less than a month.Somehow, there is something I want to know here, and the doubts in my heart may be solved from here.I want to know the answer for myself, I want to know the real answer.

Liu Jia still took me to live in the private house he used to live in before, and all the furnishings in it have not changed.On the table in the living room was a half-drunk glass of water, the rest of which had frozen into thick ice.

In the room near the window sill, there is a small bench and easel, half a sketch and a piece of pencil end...

After scanning around, Liu Jia said, "I've been to many places, but I want to check everything related to my life experience. I want to know what kind of people my parents are. I want to know why they abandoned me, I want to go and see them, you...you must have a lot of doubts, right?"

I felt like I was exhausted, and I nodded.I also want to know what kind of mentality he used to approach me.Did he know about our relationship from the beginning, or did he find out later?

If you know the relationship between us, you can still be with me so chicly, joking with crazy people every day, and your expressions and movements are so natural.Did he just want to investigate something from me?

"Don't do that!" Liu Jia patted me on the shoulder, "I'll tell you everything I know, and you don't have to spend so much time and effort on researching!"

"..." I looked back at him without saying a word.

…………

I went out for a meal at noon, and Liu Jia drove me to a place in the afternoon.We walked west along a not-so-wide dirt road outside the small county town, passing through small potholed mounds, passing through barren and desolate swamps, and driving through winding mountain roads with nine twists and eighteen bends. Left our ruts.

After about two hours of driving, we got out of the car.It was still the cemetery, the only difference from the last time was that it was covered with a whole sheet of white snow.The whole open space is nothing but white, less sad and more solemn and terrifying.

Liu Jia brought out a lot of things from the car, including wine and meat.He handed them all to me, then knelt down and began to clear the snow that had piled up around the grave.It didn't take long for the snow on the cemetery to be sorted out.The entire snow-covered tomb seems to be the only one that stands out.

I squeezed Liu Jia's cold hand hard, trying to warm him up.Liu Jia was very ungrateful, so he withdrew his hand and continued to work.

"Yangyang, take out all the things and arrange them!" Liu Jia ordered, and I will do it once.I have absolutely no idea what to do with this kind of thing.He just stood there like a fool.

"The dishes are placed here, and the paper money will be burned like this!"

"Put the wine in first!"

"........."

After the wine and meat were all set, Liu Jia dragged me to kneel down together, took a bottle of liquor that had been opened and poured it on the ground, "Grandpa, I brought Yangyang to see you, don't you just like this wine? Drink more!"

"There is wine and food, you eat and drink well!"

"..."

Liu Jia chattered for a long time, then pulled me casually, "You can also say something, I can't always say it, you have come all the way anyway!"

"Oh!" He was pushed suddenly, completely defenseless.After taking the wine bottle in his hand, he followed his example and poured it down on the ground, but hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.

It was as if I was talking to a hypothetical person I had never met before. What I thought was one thing, but what I said was another, let alone in front of Liu Jia.

"Forget it, don't talk about being so uncomfortable!" Liu Jia avoided the wine in my hand and poured it all down.Then, he grabbed me by the shoulders and lifted me up, took my hand and walked out.

"Let's go back, we will bring you if you want!" Liu Jia said as he walked in front.

I nodded and couldn't help but look back at the grave.The photo of the old man on the tombstone is still there, but the man's face has become more and more blurred, and the outline of his face has become less and less clear.I rubbed my eyes and looked again, still blurry.

…………

Liu Jia's mood has been very depressed recently. He often holds a pen in his hand and stares fixedly at the drawing paper without moving. Sometimes he sits for an hour or even two hours.

It wasn't until I pushed him that he woke up like a dream, looked up at me, and continued to draw in his hand.

"You...are you hiding something from me?" I knelt down and asked.I can't blame me for thinking this way. Since I've known him for so long, although he has nothing to do with a positive and sunny boy, it's really rare for him to be in a daze like now.As soon as I get in touch with what happened around us, I always want to think about those dark and obscure places around the corners.

Liu Jia ignored me, he continued to fly quickly with the pencil, as if he was catching up with something.Sometimes, when I fell asleep in the middle of the night, I was woken up by his coughing, and I could still see him drawing and drawing under the lamp!

"Are you still asleep?" I got up helplessly wrapped in the quilt, moved to his side like a bear, and glanced down at his painting.Forgive me for the little bit of wisdom I lack in art, but I really don't understand which school of abstract paintings he is painting.

After Liu Jia finished his last stroke, he finally threw the brush aside.He stood up and stretched his waist, "Okay, go to sleep!"

After Liu Jia got into my bed, I reached out and turned off the light.Through the window, a stream of moonlight came in, illuminating a small part of the room.

Liu Jia turned her back to me and said nothing.I put my arms around his waist from behind and leaned on him, "Oh, are you asleep?"

"No!" Liu Jia replied lightly.

"What's the matter with you? Why do I always feel that you are not normal recently?" I scratched the muscles on his waist, trying to tease him, "Do you have to be like this for a few days every month? ?”

Liu Jia grabbed my dishonest hand and squeezed it hard. After holding it for a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at me unblinkingly with his bright black eyes, "Yangyang, have you felt that lately? Are you bored?"

"No, I just always feel that there is something wrong with you. If you have anything to say, just tell me, don't keep it in your heart!"

Liu Jia interrupted me, "Tell me the truth, what do you want most in this life?"

"..." Uh, where should I start talking about this?I feel like I have a lot of things, and it doesn't seem like much effort to get them.But there are some things that don't seem to be able to be solved with effort.

"Let's put it this way!" Liu Jia's body moved, he stretched out one arm to support his head, looked at me sideways, and said, "I'm asking you the most vulgar question, if Zheng Tai and I fell into the sea, Who are you saving?"

I thought for a while, then grinned, "Let's save you, Zheng Tai can swim, and he won the championship when he was in college! He doesn't need me to save him!"

The corner of Liu Jia's mouth twitched fiercely, and he poked my forehead hard with his finger, "I can also swim, and I've won the championship in swimming too! Little boy, it seems that you really don't understand me!"

I got angry, got up from the bed violently, jumped on Liu Jia, and successfully threw him, "He can swim, and you can swim too. All of you swimming champions are waiting for me to make one of you who can't swim." to save you? How can you run on people like this?"

"Hahaha... oh, don't bite! Your uncle's teeth are sharp, you really can!" Liu Jia laughed and scolded while dodging, "You say you can't swim, you just say you can't. Is it over?"

"How can I think so much?" I got up from Liu Jia in embarrassment, and shivered into bed again, "I didn't want to touch you, who made you so depressed and depressed for so many days!"

"Oh, so you think so!" Liu Jia also got into bed, put his head on my shoulder, put his arm around my shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Brother blamed you!"

"..." I snorted with the corner of my mouth slanted.

"Today, I heard that Zheng Shijin woke up!" Liu Jia said suddenly.

"..." I froze for a second, and immediately woke up.

Liu Jia squeezed my shoulder vigorously and continued, "But he is still very weak! I just want to ask you, do you want this company!"

"It's not whether I want it or not, I really don't have that ability!" I wanted to turn around, but my body was pressed hard by Liu Jia, and I couldn't move at all.

Liu Jia pinched my chin aside with a chilly hand, "Now that the east wind has come, the only thing missing is your arrow!"

"You let me think about it!"

"Okay!" Liu Jia agreed, "As long as you want, I will definitely help you!"

"..."

The room became quiet, only the breathing of Liu Jia and me could be heard.

"#########..." Sleeping in the middle of the night, Liu Jia let out a desperate cry from the mobile phone placed by the bedside.I was so scared that I trembled all over, while my heart was still beating wildly, Liu Jia had already jumped up from the bed, reached out and touched the phone,

"Hey……"

After about tens of seconds, he hung up the phone, then sat motionless on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.I rubbed my eyes, reached out from under the bed to turn on the bedside lamp, and poked his thin waist, "Whose phone is it, what did you say?"

"..." Liu Jia's body trembled, and he looked down at me, "It's a harassing phone call, don't worry about it!"

"Are you so caring about harassing phone calls?" I responded, yawned, got up from the bed with the cold, dragged a down jacket on my body, and was about to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jia grabbed my arm.

I stretched out my feet looking for cotton slippers, "Pee! I'm freezing to death..."

Liu Jia let go of my arm. I couldn't find cotton slippers, so I had to find a pair of shoes and put them on, wrapped them in a down jacket and walked to the bathroom.We live in an ordinary private house, and the toilet is on the southwest corner of the yard.Enduring the cold, I shivered and ran to the bathroom like a little old man.

When I got to the bathroom, I gritted my teeth, took off my pajama pants and started to pee.After urinating, I pulled up my pants and prepared to rush back to the bed, and when I turned around, I found Liu Jia who had been standing behind me at some point.

"Wow...you want to scare me to death!" I trembled all over and jumped back involuntarily.

Liu Jia stood still, he looked straight at me, his face shone with a porcelain white almost bluish white light under the white moonlight.

"What are you holding in your hand?" I still looked at him with my eyes open.A strange light flashed in Liu Jia's eyes, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

Then, he slowly took out a two-foot-long sharp knife from behind him, and shook it in front of me. The light of the knife coincided with the light that flashed in his eyes.

"What are you doing with this?" My heart suddenly tightened. The cold seemed to block the power of this knife a lot, so I took another step back involuntarily.

Liu Jia looked down at the knife, stretched out a finger and wiped the blade.Immediately, a light bloody smell drilled into my nose.

"Yangyang, don't be afraid, this knife can only be used for self-defense!" Liu Jia looked up at me, and took two steps forward with the knife in his hand, the tip of the knife was facing my stomach.He said, "I'll give it to you!"

"Don't come here!" I yelled, and the heroic arrogance I brought from my mother's womb finally burst out.I flew up and kicked his wrist, and ran out while he was in pain.

Liu Jia, the man I kicked just now, swung the knife in his hand violently, brushed my arm in the down jacket and stuck it straight into the lime wall not far in front of me, and the wall immediately fell off up a layer.

There was a burst of numbness in the arm, and then the pain of tearing the flesh immediately hit.Enduring the pain, I climbed into the car, stepped on the roof of the car and climbed onto the wall, and took a look outside the wall.Under the two-meter-high wall, it was pitch black. I gasped, and my calves cramped.

"Don't go, I won't hurt you!" Liu Jia didn't know when to come out to him.He just stood under the wall like a ghost, looking up at me.

"You uncle, you don't hurt me, you want to kill me directly! You have such a long knife, just want to give me a knife, Liu Jia, I misread you... Pooh!" He closed his eyes, squatted down, grabbed the protruding stones on the wall, and slid down.

"Damn it!" When he slid to the ground, his palm was cut by a sharp stone, and blood gushed out as if he didn't want money.

I wiped two handfuls on the down jacket, and ran out of the way.
