A heart-stirring accident really made the two children establish a deep revolutionary friendship. Coupled with the fact that they are relatives, the relationship is even deeper.

Although they all live in Nanshi, Nanshi is too big. Gong Qing lives in Wuling District of Nanshi, and Cheng Yu lives in Luhou District of Nanshi. They are almost two poles of a city. No matter how convenient the transportation is, you can take the bus or the subway. It takes at least two hours to go to each other's home, not to mention that the parents of the two families have to work, and the children have to study, so except for winter and summer vacations and occasional weekends, it can satisfy several children who want to play together Apart from wishes, it is also difficult for everyone to get together at other times.

"I haven't seen my porcelain doll cousin for almost two months!"

"I've lived longer than you! You didn't wait for me when you went climbing last time. It's too much!"

"Aren't we going to wait for you? Obviously you can't say it yourself."

"I couldn't go at all. I happened to have a painting class last time. Can't you make another appointment to bring me? I was criticized by the teacher for drawing a crooked sculpture's nose absent-mindedly in the sketch class that day." 10 minutes!"

"Then who can you blame if you don't care? Why don't you ask for leave and play with us!"

"..."

The two brothers and sisters nestled on the sofa and sighed and bickered. Even though they were already in junior high school, Cheng Yu still liked to fight with his younger sister who was still a primary school student whenever he had nothing to do.

Cheng Yan, who was reading the newspaper at the side, listened to the conversation between the two, and said with a smile: "Your cousin is busy all day except studying, unlike you, he is too lazy to die, and he doesn't enroll in any interest classes, and doesn't learn anything."

"I signed up! I have three painting classes a week!"

"I didn't talk about you, but about your brother."

"Did you hear that, what about you! I'm too lazy to learn anything!"

Cheng Yu: "..."

Cheng Yue saw that Cheng Yu was reaching out to hit her, and quickly complained to her father beside her: "Dad, my brother hit me!"

Cheng Yan muddied the water and said with a smile, "Your brother's slap obviously hasn't landed yet, I'm watching."

Cheng Yue: "..."

The atmosphere of the family was happy and harmonious, only to hear Liu Danqing, who was carrying a plate of big cherries, walked to the sofa and sat down and said: "You should learn more from your cousin, you should work hard at such a young age, and develop your hobbies. It's only been three years, and I've passed the ninth grade in piano, and I'll take the tenth grade next week."

Cheng Yu pouted and said, "That's because my aunt likes to listen to piano music, so he went to learn it."

"That man is also very sensible and talented. I also like the piano. Why don't you learn to play it for me?" Liu Dan gave his unmotivated son a white look.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's the same if I let Xiaoqing play it to you in the future. But if you like to listen to Erhu, I can reluctantly learn it."

Liu Danqing also smiled and said: "If you want to learn, I can also cultivate my hobby for erhu with difficulty."

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yue was about to be laughed madly by her mother and brother, she patted Cheng Yu's arm and said, "Brother, look at him before looking at you, Brother Gong Qing It will be performed in the auditorium in the future, so you can only form a band with grandpa and aunt in the square in the future. Hahaha!"

"Fuck you! Why are you so obsessed with foreigners? Square dance and square band are also folk arts, do you understand? Do you know how old the erhu is? Do you know how old the erhu is when paired with many Chinese musical instruments? Have you ever heard of it? ? Little girl film!"

"Then do you want to learn?" Cheng Yan asked, spitting out the cherry pit.

"Not learn!"

"Hahaha!"

There was another burst of laughter in the living room.

Time passed quickly, and it was winter in a blink of an eye.This is the fourth winter that Gong Qing will begin after coming here.

His school is not far from his home, and he can walk there in 10 minutes. Occasionally, when Liu Xiyue and Gong You's company is too busy to go home, they will prepare meals in advance and ask him to heat them in the microwave oven. That's good, in short, his life is actually very convenient, and everything he does is very convenient.

This year is almost coming to an end, so the business field becomes more active as the year approaches.Liu Xiyue and Gong You had a problem with a business order, and they needed to go on a business trip together to discuss a solution with the supplier in Lin Province.It doesn't take long, you can come back in two days.

For some reason, Gong Qing has been sleeping very restlessly in the past few days, and she will be awakened by nightmares for several nights, either dreaming about the rainstorm a few years ago, or dreaming that the house suddenly collapsed, or some devil sucked her. Dried his blood.He really wanted to call Liu Danqing and Gong You and ask them what time they would be back. He was suddenly a little scared when he was alone at home.But he turned on the small desk lamp and saw that it was only [-]:[-] at night, and it was still very early before school time. At this time, Liu Xiyue and Gong Qing should still be resting on the return train.He ran to the living room to pick up the phone and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't press the answer button.

At 06:30 in the morning, Gong Qing was woken up from a deep and shallow dream by a sudden phone call, and she heard the urgent voice of her aunt on the opposite side: "Xiaoqing, have you called your father in the past two days?" Mom's phone number?"

As soon as Gong Qing heard about his parents, his confused mind immediately came to his senses, and he hurriedly said, "No, what's the matter, auntie? Did something happen to them?"

The aunt on the other end of the phone didn't seem to know how to explain it, so she just said: "Auntie doesn't know what to say about the specific matter. In this way, my uncle will pick you up later. You can stay at my aunt's house for a few days and wait for mom and dad to come back." Okay? I'll stop by school later and ask you for a few days off."

The unease in Gong Qing's heart these days was gradually magnified at this moment. He didn't even realize that his hand holding the phone was trembling. A voice in his heart said to him - "Something happened!"

Before his little uncle arrived, he had tried to call Gong You and Liu Xiyue countless times, but no one answered the message every time. He went from anxious to confused, from fear to numbness.The waiting time was long and helpless, as if all these years were just a dream, or nothing really happened. He suddenly felt that he had returned to the day when he was five years old and was waiting outside the operation. powerless.

After going through the peak hours of work, Cheng Yan finally knocked on the door of Gong Qing's house, and when he came in, he saw Gong Qing who had no strength to cry, squatting silently on the ground.

"Little uncle, why didn't they answer my call?" Gong Qing looked up at Cheng Yan with red eyes.

Cheng Yan's heart felt as if it had been pricked by something, and the pain caused him to be short of breath.He quickly picked up the child who was squatting on the ground, stroked his head and face, and said softly: "No, they love you so much and they won't stop answering your phone call. It's just that it's too noisy outside and they didn't hear it. Look They will call you back when the call is missed."

Cheng Yan's consolation seemed to have some effect, Gong Qing curled up in Cheng Yan's arms and nodded, tears wet the cloth in front of Cheng Yan.

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Danqing got up and was preparing to make breakfast for his family. He habitually checked the news in the bathroom for a while, only to see a news about a train rollover accident.Before Liu Xiyue and the others left, they called her and said that it was almost New Year's Day, and they would have dinner together on the day they came back from Lin Province, and get together in advance.She didn't know which train her sister and brother-in-law took, but it was always right to call and ask.Who knew that something went wrong as soon as the call was made, and no one answered the call for half an hour. It couldn't be that she was simply not in the service area or the signal was not good. She panicked at that time.

Cheng Yan asked his friend who worked at the train station to help check the train number of Liu Xiyue and Gong You, and it was indeed the train that derailed at 56:[-] at night.

When she confirmed the news, even though she was reassuring herself that her sister and brother-in-law would be fine, the long phone call was not enough for her to confirm what would happen in the days to come.

They called the police and waited anxiously for the results of the rescue, but they received a notice to claim the body two days later.

For Gong Qing, this was a blow worse than a disaster. If he was still young when he faced his father's death five years ago, he was still young enough to understand the good, evil, and warmth in this world. Over the past few years, all his experiences can support this family as a pillar of emotion.Those who have walked in the dark are eager to see the light, but when they are pushed into the darkness again after seeing the light, what they will face is boundless fear and endless mental torture, because the light is really too much. People are attached.

Gong Qing hadn't slept well for two days and one night, and couldn't eat. She just sat blankly and quietly in the small corner of the sofa, and no one tried to persuade her.When the police call came, he looked up and saw Liu Danqing was also looking at him and crying, he wanted to sit over and wipe his auntie's tears, but he really didn't have the strength to move over.

"I'll go out with your father, you stay at home and take care of your younger siblings." Liu Danqing said to Cheng Yu.

Perhaps she had already sensed something, before Cheng Yu could speak, Gong Qing said, "Auntie, take me with you, I want to meet Mom and Dad."

Liu Danqing turned his head to wipe away his tears, then nodded, and then the children followed them to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and went to the funeral home under the leadership of the police.

The sleeper car where Liu Xiyue and Gong You were located was one of the most severely damaged cars. When the train derailed and rolled over, this car was just at a corner. Due to inertia, it was directly thrown out and rolled down the cliff. All of the passengers were killed and none survived.

Cheng Yan lifted the white cloths from the two of them, and after looking at them, he nodded to Liu Danqing, who was pulling Gong Qing behind him, and said, "Go and go through the formalities with the police comrades."

Liu Danqing nodded, without saying anything, handed Gong Qing's hand to Cheng Yu's, then turned and left.

Gong Qing took Cheng Yu's hand and walked in front of the two lying people, and wanted to lift the white cloth to see the people inside, but was held back by Cheng Yan, who held Gong Qing in his arms , patted him on the back, and said softly: "Don't look at it, Mom and Dad want you to remember their best side, remember?"

At that time, Gong Qing didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. It was not until many years later that he realized that the man under the white cloth was bloody and bloody, his arms were bent at abnormal angles, and half of his skull collapsed. It was miserable and terrifying.The reason my uncle didn't let him watch was to protect his young heart and reduce his excitement. Both his aunt and uncle loved him very much.

People are always very strange. When I don’t see people, I always think about them. I hold countless words in my heart and want to say to them. I rehearse the words I want to say when I meet them in my mind over and over again, but I really see them. Instead, I couldn't say anything, and there was only a blank in my mind and heart.

He stood there for a long time, looked at the white cloth for a long time, neither crying nor fussing, like a bystander who stayed out of the matter, but everyone knew that his heart was bleeding.

Afterwards, Liu Danqing and Cheng Yan took care of Liu Xiyue and Gong You's funeral. When the remains were parked in the funeral parlor, relatives and friends from both sides had already come to express their condolences. Afterwards, on the day the ashes were buried in the cemetery, only the principals of both parties were there. Relatives come to say goodbye.Kneeling in front of the tombstone, Gong Qing looked at the smiling faces in the black and white photos of her parents. After kowtowing to them three times, she couldn't hold back any longer. She lay on the ground and cried loudly. Liu Danqing was very distressed when she heard it , and hurried forward to hug Gong Qing.

Gong Qing sobbed hoarsely, "Auntie, I don't have parents anymore!"
