Suishuihe

Sometimes the weather is very considerate, and it will adjust the weather according to the mood of the person.

Monday morning is gray and looks like it's going to rain a lot.Xie Tingyu brought an umbrella when he went out.

He waited downstairs for ten minutes, but he still hadn't seen Zhou Suihe come downstairs.Thinking that he had overslept, Xie Tingyu called Zhou Suihe, but there was only a voice on the phone: "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."

Xie Tingyu parked his bicycle and planned to go upstairs to have a look.

It was a little dark in the corridor, and the voice-activated lights flashed yellow.

Xie Tingyu stood outside and knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door for a long time.He took out his phone and checked the time. It was almost time for class. Perhaps Zhou Suihe had already gone to school, so he planned to go to school first.

Arrive at school as fast as possible, morning reading has already started.The first thing Xie Tingyu did when he came to the classroom was to look at Zhou Suihe's seat, there was no one there, only books were stacked neatly.

Wu Wensheng quickly pulled the dazed Xie Tingyu to his seat, "Master, why are you so dazed? Hurry up, the class teacher will be here soon."

Xie Tingyu: "Has the first birthday come?"

Wu Wensheng glanced at Zhou Suihe's seat, "You ask me? Isn't he with you every day?" Wu Wensheng only found out that Zhou Suihe hadn't come, "You two had a fight? That's not right, Zhou Suihe doesn't seem to be People who are late because of a quarrel."

Before Wu Wensheng could figure it out, Xie Tingyu got up and ran out of the classroom.

He ran into the teacher's office and didn't even have time to call for a report.The homeroom teacher packed up the homework on the desktop and was about to check the students' morning reading when he saw Xie Tingyu running towards him.

"Xie Tingyu, do you need a teacher?"

"Teacher, did Zhou Suihe ask for leave?"

The head teacher is a kind-hearted middle-aged man, slightly fat, who teaches mathematics. The round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose make his face rounder. When he talks and laughs with students, he looks like a Maitreya Buddha. He is a popular teacher in No. [-] Middle School.

The head teacher sighed, "It's not asking for leave, he dropped out of school. It's a pity that the college entrance examination is coming soon."

Xie Tingyu's mind was stunned by the word dropout.

"Drop out?"

The homeroom teacher pushed his glasses, "Yes, I quit last Friday, and I came with his grandma, and the books haven't been removed."

"Why?" Xie Tingyu's voice didn't sound like his own, sad, shocked, and scared.

"It is said that there is an urgent matter at home, but I don't know the details. I persuaded him for a long time, but he insisted on dropping out of school. A good young man who went to college, and usually studies hard, it's a pity."

The word "exiting school" pierced Xie Tingyu's brain like a spike, making him awake sometimes and blurry at other times.

Why did Zhou Suihe drop out of school?

And why didn't you tell yourself?

What the hell is going on?

Xie Tingyu took a step back, the head teacher's voice couldn't reach his ears.

He turned suddenly and ran outside.

When the head teacher followed to the corridor, Xie Tingyu was no longer visible, "Xie Tingyu, where are you going?"

Xie Tingyu stepped on the bicycle quickly, and the wind that passed by made him upset, and the teacher's words kept repeating in his mind.

Throwing down his bicycle and running to the door of Zhou Suihe's house, he didn't dare to knock on the door, he was afraid that the result would disappoint him.

I tapped lightly three times as usual, but no one answered.He continued to knock for the second and third times, each time getting faster and louder, and his heart also sank to the bottom.

The neighbor next door opened the door, and a middle-aged aunt came out, "Young man, don't knock, the family has moved out and the house has been sold."

Xie Tingyu: "Auntie, do you know where they moved?"

The aunt shook her head, "I don't know, I just know it was moved on Saturday."

"...Thank you, Auntie." Xie Tingyu stared at the door silently, and then realized to thank Auntie.

"You're welcome, go back to study quickly, the college entrance examination will be up soon." Auntie saw Xie Tingyu's school uniform, and combined with his height, guessed that Xie Tingyu might be a third-year student in high school.

Auntie's sound of closing the door echoed in the corridor, and the draft swept over Xie Tingyu's sinking heart, which did not disturb the slightest disturbance.He is still staring at that door, trying to find the trace of Zhou Suihe through this door, or he is waiting for a miracle, a miracle that can bring his heart back to life, that is, this door can be opened, revealing Zhou Suihe's smile Yan's face, and said a sweet good morning to him.

The long silence caused the voice-activated lights to go out, leaving a darkness of day.Xie Tingyu turned on the phone in the dark, dialed a number, and the other party connected quickly.

"Find someone for me." The boy's voice seemed to have been soaked in ice water, without a trace of warmth.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Tingyu called the driver and asked him to take him to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Xie Tingyu received a message on his mobile phone about Zhou Suihe, which clearly stated that Zhou Suihe's hometown was in another city, a little far away from Haicheng.

Xie Tingyu once heard Zhou Suihe mentioned that they moved to Haicheng later, but he seemed unwilling to mention his past, so Xie Tingyu didn't ask too much.

The driver sent Xie Tingyu outside the airport. Before Xie Tingyu got out of the car, the driver said to him: "Master, my wife already knows."

Xie Tingyu opened the door and got out of the car, "It's okay, tell them." Then he strode into the airport.

The driver made a phone call after watching him walk away.

"Madam,... yes, the young master has gone to look for him."

Gu Fangya's voice came from the phone: "Let him go, he must give up."

The driver put down his phone and sighed. He watched Xie Tingyu grow up, and he also witnessed the love process between Zhou Suihe and Xie Tingyu. Although homosexuality is not recognized by most people in society, he likes Zhou Suihe very much. Clever little boy.

It can only be said that the rich have the helplessness of the rich.

It took Xie Tingyu a day to find Zhou Suihe's hometown.There from a small town into the current commercial center.

On the contrary, the neighborhood across the road looks old, leaving traces of time, like a witness.

Xie Tingyu searched all the way according to the address, no doubt, the result disappointed him.His heart and Zhou Suihe's past were crushed under the tall buildings.

He walked against the sun, not knowing where he was going.

The old man guarding the fruit stand stopped him: "Young man, who are you looking for?" The old man had been paying attention to him for a long time, and when he saw how anxiously he was looking for, he turned around in disappointment.

Xie Tingyu was silent for a while before answering: "Master, do you know Zhou Suihe?"

The uncle pointed to the chair next to him with his cattail fan, "Sit down."

Xie Tingyu seemed to see some hope, "You know him, right?"

The uncle squinted his eyes, and shook the cattail fan in his hand more slowly, "I know him, his father is Zhou Shuwang, we grew up watching him. In the blink of an eye, 12 years have passed."

The old man's gaze seemed to have passed through decades of long time, and he saw the clear and bright young man Zhou Shuwang back then.

"Back then, our place was not as lively as it is now, and there were few people. Zhou Shuwang is the king of children here, no matter how old or young he is. We parents can rest assured that Zhou's family is a good teacher. Xiaoshu I hope that I will not do bad things with the children. I take a group of followers to pick up garbage in the town all day long, maintain traffic order, and even take care of the parents. Whenever someone quarrels, the child will bring a group of people to persuade them Looking up with a small face, he said that uncles and aunts should stop arguing, who would want to start arguing."

When the uncle talked about these things, wrinkles appeared on his face because of his smile.

Xie Tingyu listened quietly.

"People in the town say that Xiao Shuwang will be promising in the future. Sure enough, he was admitted to the university as the number one scholar. Before he graduated from university, someone tried to introduce him to someone. He hesitated and refused, saying yes. I have a girlfriend. I brought my girlfriend back as soon as I graduated. She is quiet and beautiful. She doesn’t look like a girl from a small place, but a girl from a big family. That girl never went back after she came, and she married Zhou Shuwang. Married, she taught Chinese in the middle school in our town, and taught students singing and dancing during the holidays. For a while, they became a good story in our place, and everyone said that the gods and couples are nothing more than that."

"In the second year, Xiaohe Miao was born."

"At the beginning, we didn't know what Zhou Shuwang did. We only knew that he had a special job and couldn't go home several times a year. It was okay at first, but he suddenly disappeared when Xiao Hemiao was four years old. I saw him vaguely a few times, sometimes in the dead of night, sometimes before dawn, he was wearing a black suit and a hat, sneaking home, taking a look and leaving. I probably understood what he was doing.”

Hearing this, Xie Tingyu could also guess Zhou Shuwang's occupation. Something must have happened later that caused Zhou Suihe to lose his parents at a young age. He asked urgently: "Then what happened later?"

The old man leaned back in the chair, the movement of fanning stopped, his eyes were full of the heaviness of the years.

"Later... I never saw Xiao Shuwang again after that."

"I remember that day. It was not very bright yet, and I went to catch the morning market. Xiao Hemiao took her mother's hand and opened the door, carrying a small schoolbag, and softly called me Grandpa. He looked even taller than his father. Looks good. I noticed a box in front of their door earlier, and I thought it was something from someone else, so I mentioned it. Mother He Miao said that no one sent anything, maybe someone else made a mistake. There is no There was no message left on the things tied up, and the cover was not even very tight. Xiaohe Miao was close, so he squatted down and opened the lid, and inside... was a hand."

The old man's voice was choked up, "There is a mole on the palm of that hand, I recognize it, we have joked that Xiao Shuwang has a mole on the palm of his hand since we were young, and he is a person with great ambition."

"He Miao's mother passed out on the spot. I helped He Miao's grandmother to send her to the ambulance. Xiao He Miao was so scared that she forgot to cry when she was hugged by her grandmother. Later, the police station and the government came in and out. Oh my god, everyone has a solid idea and tacitly doesn't mention this matter. It's just that He Miao's mother has been unconscious since she was discharged from the hospital. She sits at the door all day, saying that she is waiting for her husband to come back. Three months later, She went too and drank a whole bottle of sleeping pills."

The old man wiped the tears from his face, Xie Tingyu was in a state of shock, he didn't know how the little Zhou Suihe got through the days of losing his parents continuously.

"There were results of this incident. Zhou Shuwang was named a martyr, and those people were also arrested. We are all old, the old houses have been demolished, and the town is not the same as before, but Xiao Shuwang is still the same in our hearts. A young man who wanted to contribute to the motherland. He was lying in the martyrs' cemetery and took away some people's hearts."

The old man turned his head and glanced at Xie Tingyu, "My son was born in the same year as him. They grew up together and had some unspeakable feelings for him. On the day Zhou Shuwang was buried, he knelt in front of me and said that he was sorry for his ancestors. , because he will never get married and have children in his life, he always misses Zhou Shuwang in his heart, even if he dies. There is also, that is, being alone, I once asked him if he was alone, and he said that if someone is in his heart, he will not be lonely."

Xie Tingyu had the same attachment in his son's eyes, that's why the old man said these things to him, "Young man, if you lose someone, just keep looking for it, and you will find it one day. Some people have nowhere to look for them. "

The sun was about to set, and Xie Tingyu walked through shadow after shadow.

The old man said that on the day of the move, the seven-year-old Zhou Suihe was led away step by step by his grandmother on a morning when the sun was rising. He was small and not tall, but his old white hair was spotty, and even the sun was a sight to behold. No hope.

Xie Tingyu walked the road where Suihe left at the age of seven. He hoped that God would give him mercy, spanning 12 years, crossing the boundary between morning and evening, and blowing the wind that Suihe once blew.

And in the drowsy summer evening, he hoped that Zhou Suihe's future life would always be the rising sun of reunion and perfection.

Xie Tingyu returned to Haicheng, he did not give up the college entrance examination, nor did he give up looking for Zhou Suihe, but all his efforts did not get any return, Zhou Suihe seemed to suddenly disappear from this world.

Anger, fear, worry, all kinds of emotions tormented Xie Tingyu. He could only walk the road he had traveled countless times with Zhou Suihe, watching the same scenery, listening to Zhou Suihe's favorite songs, and drinking sweetened soy milk.

He lost the people he loved the most, but his life became about him.
