Fang Sishen spent a lot of time preparing for Huading, Songqingqiu and Baishui to fulfill his long-cherished wish.Consult with the doctor in the nursing home in detail, issue the physical condition certificate required by the airline, and take care of all the clothes and medicines that may be used that can be imagined, but add up all my own things but only have half a backpack.

When everything was settled, it happened that Hong Xinyao removed the plaster cast.He resolutely refused to go home, so his mother had to take the things for the unborn grandson to Beijing.

Two days before leaving, Fang Sishen stayed with his father in the hospital.After Fang Duzhi exhorted him meticulously, he suddenly called his son earnestly, "Xiaosi."

"Well, Dad, what else can I do?" Fang Sishen was saving the contact information of the host given by his father to his mobile phone.Dean Fang didn't think that the young master of the Hong family was obliged to accompany them all the way, so he contacted an acquaintance from the Chinese Academy of Liaozhou Qingqiu University for help and arranged for a local student to receive him.With Hua Dingsong's status, this is very logical.For local secondary and tertiary colleges and universities, even though it is a purely private matter, having the opportunity to contact leading senior scholars is also very important.

"Xiaosi, are you planning to go to Ahla this trip?"

"Maybe I won't go now. The teacher only needs to go to Yeligunie, and I'm afraid he won't be able to take it anymore. The doctor doesn't agree to stay for a long time. He will come back after staying for a few days. However, if the receptionist is safe, maybe I Take a day for yourself..."

Fang Duzhi interrupted him: "Xiao Si, Dad wants to tell you something"

Fang Sishen looked up: "What's the matter?"

"Your uncle is gone."

"what did you say?"

"Your uncle is gone."

Fang Duzhi saw that his son looked at him as if he didn't understand, without blinking his eyes, he felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick in his heart.He didn't have a deep relationship with Lian Fuhai, but he knew very well what position this person had in his son's life.

Fang Sishen murmured: "It wasn't good last time...how could it be gone? Dad, is this... for real? It's really Uncle Lian? How do you know?"

"It's been more than a month, and I only got the news last week. About two months ago, the mayor of Ahla and the director of the forest management office both went down. I didn't want the new two to be more concerned about the renovation of the shed area. In order to mobilize Residents relocated and many old shacks were demolished. It may be that a brick house built by a person was demolished by mistake, causing death. The family was a retired forest farm worker, and it may have something to do with Lian Fuhai. No one thought that he Will take a gun to shoot the newly appointed mayor and director, and then commit suicide..."

Fang Duzhi held his son's cold hand: "Xiaosi, if it wasn't for you to go again, I would rather you never know about it for the rest of your life. Now the local area is very strict about the relevant information, and your trip here is purely to accompany Hua Dading Nostalgia, stop immediately when you arrive in Yeliguni, understand? There are great changes in the grassroots personnel over there, as long as you don’t make it public, no one will notice you. If you really want to know something, you can ask Hong Xinyao. In any case, don’t have any superfluous thoughts .”

She held her son's hand tightly in her palm: "Xiao Si, you have to understand...it's useless."

"Uncle Lian...just gone like this?...I understand, it's useless..." Fang Sishen's tears welled up unconsciously, falling to the ground in strings.

"He carried two lives on his back, no matter how big the grievance was, it will not be cleared away. After a few years, the matter will sink, and then try to bury him. Xiaosi, Dad knows you are sad. You must go with Hua Dading , Dad won’t stop you either. But you have to remember, don’t worry Dad.” Fang Duzhi wiped the tears from his cheeks, “Dad only asks you for this one thing, don’t worry me.”

"Okay..." Fang Sishen nodded numbly with red eyes, "I won't let you worry."

At night, he lay quietly for a long time, and suddenly said: "Father, can justice really only exist in faith?"

Fang Duzhi was silent for a long time before answering him: "Xiao Si, as you said, the premise of faith is still alive."

Not even faith exists, let alone what faith is.

This is really a desperate and sad answer.

After a while, the father said again: "Xiaosi, don't think about it anymore. People can only make choices for themselves. The things you mentioned, one is public, the other is righteous, and they all need the cooperation of others. You can do it yourself. If you can’t do it, what can you do? Don’t be too sad. You have to know that when you are sad, Dad is worried.”

The next day, Dean Fang was very relieved to see his son gradually returning to normal.

It was the first-class cabin to go to Tuan, but Hua Dingsong insisted on not accepting the sponsorship, and even took it for his apprentice. Young Master Hong had no choice but to compromise.From the moment he boarded the plane, the old man was inexplicably excited, and Fang Sishen was always by his side carefully, until he dozed off, before he had time to talk to Hong Xinyao.

Covering his face with his hands, he said in a low voice, "You didn't tell me about Uncle Lian."

Hong Xinyao moved his head to his shoulder, the temperature of the air conditioner was a little low, and put the blanket on him again, and then said three words in his ear: "I dare not."

Sensing that he was extremely depressed, she lightly placed a comforting kiss on his forehead.There are four seats in a row, and Hua Dingsong occupies two because there are not enough people. They are next to each other, so there is no need to worry about being seen from behind.

"There are always so many fucking things. I'm not afraid that you will be sad, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get over it. When you are sad, the bastards will be happy. Someone is watching Uncle Lian's funeral, but I can't mention it now. Don't worry. Get off the plane I'll take you to the hotel first, and wait for me to leave tomorrow morning. Don't think so much, just take a stroll with the teacher. At this age, I can't wait for the second time."

Because he didn't dare to let the old man hurry up, the whole schedule was very loose.

Fang Sishen cheered up and smiled, and touched his face: "I know." Then he asked, "Do you really want to go to Yeligunie with us?"

"Well, let's go together. Seven or eighty-year-old old professors, is it normal for two followers? My sister heard that she was accompanying the teacher, so she agreed without saying a word. After I send you away, I will go back to her house to live. Anyway, I have to hide When school starts, she just doesn't get annoyed and kicks me out."

Someone was standing in the lobby holding a sign. It was an administrative assistant in charge of the reception at the National Academy of Qingqiu University. His surname was Sun, and he was an in-service doctor of ancient Xia language.Received Mr. Hua, very happy: "The car is outside."

When I came out, I saw that it was booked for rent.Hong Xinyao said casually, "We have a car, please follow along." He waved his hand, and a black car drove over and stopped.Du Huanxin was thoughtful, and Xiao Liu was still driving.Seeing outsiders there, Xiao Liu smiled silently and went to carry the luggage.

Tuan is cool and pleasant in summer, and the temperature is more than ten degrees lower than that in Beijing. Fortunately, I added clothes in advance on the plane.Sitting in the car, Fang Sishen took out another coat for the teacher to put on.From the moment Hua Dingsong got off the plane, he was in a daze, didn't say a word, kept looking around, and had to be reminded and supported every step of the way.

"Let's stay in Tu'an for one night first, and leave for Yeligunie tomorrow morning. It takes five hours on the road, and it's too late to go today." Fang Sishen explained to the teacher in a soft voice.He knew that the old man's reaction was due to too much psychological impact, and it would take time to ease it up, so his voice was extremely soft.

Pointing to the outside of the car window, he said: "This section is a grassland, and the next section is a forest. There is no city here that is not surrounded by mountains and forests. In fact, there are very few grasslands. It is the same in winter, it is all white. Now How beautiful, look at the layer after layer, the colors overflow and change, isn't it really like a beautiful brocade?"

Hong Xinyao's previous two visits were both in winter, and it was the first time he saw the beautiful scenery of the forest area in summer, and he was almost dumbfounded.

"My mother! It's so beautiful... If I knew how beautiful it was, I should have come here at this time."

Fang Sishen pursed her lips and smiled: "There are more beautiful ones. Yeligunie is much more beautiful than here."

Hua Dingsong finally said hoarsely, "What is that yellow...?"

A large piece of gold flowed down from the sky, as if the sun had melted on the earth.

"It's rapeseed, it's blooming right now." Fang Sishen breathed a sigh of relief, and the teacher finally spoke up.

After arriving at the reserved hotel, Dr. Sun got out of the car and immediately ran over to help with the formalities.

Halfway through, I remembered to come over and ask if all three lived.

Hong Xinyao said: "I have relatives here, and I will stay at their house today. They also helped find the car to Yeligunie, so there is no need to rent it out."

"Ah, that's good." Dr. Sun trotted a few steps and continued to work at the front desk.

Young Master Hong looked at it for a while, and commented in his heart that although this person was not very clever, he was better than being courteous.I planned to return the car with the person and the car, but now that I think about it, there is no rush.After all, it is not suitable to reveal your identity if you go to Yeligune again this time.It is a lot more convenient to have such a person come forward.

After they settled down, they said hello, turned around and walked out of the hotel with Xiao Liu, and called out affectionately, "Brother Liu!"

Xiao Liu was obviously also very happy: "Young Master Hong, Du Chu asked me to stay with you for a few days."

Hong Yulan was waiting for him at home. She was eight months pregnant and her size was already quite impressive.Seeing a lot of things from her mother's house, she cried and laughed, holding her younger brother and looking around.

"Sister, how long has it been since you think of me like this?"

"Stinky boy! How is Dad? How is Mom? Eldest sister and the others, as well as Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaofeng?"

Hong Xinyao dealt with the second sister with a smile, but her heart felt a little cold.After Hong Yulan became pregnant, Hong's mother repeatedly expressed her miss for her daughter, hoping to take her back to live with her natal family, but she still refused to let her go.At first, they thought it was because the Du family valued their unborn eldest grandson too much, and they didn't want to take the slightest risk.However, at this time, Hong Xinyao believes that his parents should have noticed that their in-laws are probably too lazy to wade into the muddy water...

At the dinner, Du Huanxin was as warm and friendly to his brother-in-law as ever.It's just that whenever Hong Xinyao hinted at certain problems, he would always be abducted to other places by this slippery brother-in-law.He was a little disappointed, but also relieved.In any case, Second Sister is absolutely safe here.

The next day, Xiao Liu changed to a half-new jeep, and the license plate was from Yeligune City.Seeing Hong Xinyao sizing it up, he said, "It looks average, has good performance, and is comfortable."

After driving to the hotel to pick up people, First Young Master Hong found that Dr. Sun was more attentive than yesterday, Fang Sishen, a real disciple, almost had no chance to get close to the old man, so he asked with a smile, "Are you unemployed?"

Fang Sishen also laughed, and whispered: "Yesterday, the teacher took 2000 yuan for labor fees." From last night to this morning, whenever he wanted to do something, that senior brother Sun immediately snatched it.He really couldn't argue, seeing Hua Dingsong winking at himself, he simply let go, and only gave verbal guidance when necessary.

Dr. Sun is a native of Tu'an, explaining the beauty of his hometown to Mr. Hua all the way.After a five-hour drive, plus a half-hour rest at the rest stop, Hua Dingsong managed to hold on from the beginning to the end, with a tendency to become more and more excited.Fang Sishen was secretly worried, got out of the car, and saw that Dr. Sun was going to continue introducing the scenery of the street, so he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Sun, the teacher has a habit of taking a nap, can you hurry up and have a meal, and then let the teacher have a good rest?"

"Ah, yes, eat first and let Mr. Hua have a good rest. I'm sorry, I was negligent..."

For convenience, we will have lunch in the restaurant of the hotel.At the dinner table, Dr. Sun was chatting again and again. Seeing this, Young Master Hong put on a smiling face and leaned over to ask for advice humbly, so that the teacher and the student could eat in peace.

Fang Sishen served Hua Dingsong a small bowl of boiled fish meatballs, and brought the vegetarian willow artemisia sprouts in front of him, and a small plate of stir-fried pork belly and sauerkraut for the rice.The old man ate for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Is that... the end?"

"Yes, we're here. This is Yeliguni Zuo Banner."

"Then... where is Mangan Road?"

"It's next to the Right Banner of Yeligunie. Manggandao Forest Farm used to be the most famous, so the whole of Yeligunie is collectively called Manggandao. Everyone is used to it, so there is no special distinction. You sleep for a while after eating, and I will tell you Senior Brother Sun inquires if the Zuoqi Old Forest Farm is still there, let's go see it tomorrow."

After eating for a while, Hua Dingsong began to lean against the back of the chair and feel sleepy.Fang Sishen put down his chopsticks, sent the teacher to his room to sleep, and then went out to eat.Hong Xinyao greeted the waiter, added two light hot dishes and put them in front of him.

Only then did Dr. Sun realize that he had gone and returned: "Hey, where's Mr. Hua?"

"The old man gets tired easily, so let's go to rest first."

"Ah, also..."

Fang Sishen looked at him: "Brother Sun, the teacher came this time to pay homage to a relative."

Dr. Sun was a little surprised: "Ah, I don't know where the tomb is built?"

"There is no grave, and he died unfortunately in the forest fire in the 27th year of the Republic of China. I would like to trouble Brother Sun and ask if the old forest farm is still there. If I can find out the exact location of the fire, I will be even more grateful. Let's go to the ground to have a look and worship, and that's it."

"The 27th year of the Republic? That's a long time. I have some classmates here, so I'm afraid I have to ask their elders."

"I'm sorry, senior brother."

"See what you said, why are you being so polite." Dr. Sun was lightened by his senior brother's shouting, and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact acquaintances to inquire about the situation.

After asking around, there really is someone who has a good memory who said it clearly.

"The old forest farm is still there. Although the annual harvesting quota is only a little bit, it is not closed. The place is easy to find. Go out of the city along the urban road, turn east and go straight. You can see it from the side of the road. One side is next to the road. , one side is next to the river beach. The big fire started from the other side of the river and burned all the way to the river. Fortunately, the river blocked it and did not burn to the forest farm. The person who asked the question personally went up the mountain to fight the fire, and he was right That's right. But according to him, it's not easy to go to the other side now, and there is no way at all. How about...just take a look at the river beach here?"

Fang Sishen nodded: "Okay, let's go to the forest farm and have a look at the river beach here."

After eating, I was a little tired from traveling for most of the day, so I went back to my room to rest without exception.The check-in procedure was handled by Dr. Sun. There were three rooms for five people, and Hua Dingsong had one room alone. Hong Xinyao took away two room cards and handed one to Fang Sishen, leaving the driver, Xiao Liu, to live with Dr. Sun.Fang Sishen went to see the teacher first, then came back and said to Hong Xinyao: "This is not a nursing home, I have to go and guard it at night."

Young Master Hong was lying on his back on the bed, when he heard the words, he pulled him down and lay on his body: "Trouble... If I knew it earlier, I might as well bring a nurse."

He didn't hear the answer, so he raised his head and looked. He closed his eyes and lay quietly on his chest, motionless.Feeling sore in his heart, he wrapped his arms around his waist.

After a long time, I heard him ask, "Does your arm still hurt?"

"Occasionally a little."

"Don't forget to do your rehabilitation on time."

"Well, remember."

"Is your second sister okay?"

"Fine. Belly as big as a hot air balloon."

Fang Sishen smiled.He still has an impression of that pungent and capable woman, but he can't imagine what it looks like with a belly as big as a hot air balloon.

"The summer vacation is so long, you really don't want to go back?"

"I can't go back. It's one thing for my dad to be angry. My arm is not intact, so I dare not let my mother know. If I want her to know, I have to cry to death."

"Then take some time to read the book and prepare for the make-up exam."

Young Master Hong wailed in a low voice: "I knew..."

"My dad is still in the hospital. I always feel that...he has something to do."

"Your father is a genius, don't worry about it."

Fang Sishen sighed.

"Teacher is getting more and more confused these days..."

Hong Xinyao rubbed his chin against the top of his head: "It's inevitable when you get old."

Fang Sishen opened his eyes: "He may have to sleep until after dinner, and we all have a rest." He got up to go to the bed next to him, but was pulled by Hong Xinyao.

"It's too narrow to sleep well."

The one dragged him down: "No matter how big the bed is, isn't it just so wide? Well, it's so cool, it doesn't get hot even if you squeeze it hard..."
