The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 71

leave

Shen Luo hadn’t contacted An Yu in the past few days since he returned to town. When he was about to leave, he realized that his phone had been turned off.

When Liang Zheng was sorting out his belongings, he found the remaining pills under the bed board. Shen Yixiang smiled bitterly and said, “So that’s it.”

Guo Rui discussed with him that he should take Shen Yixiang to live together, but he refused, just like You Min refused and he didn’t want to go to the hospital, he didn’t want to leave the place where he had lived all his life.

The two didn’t force it, they just packed everything up before leaving.

In the car, Guo Rui asked worriedly: “We didn’t tell Xiao Qian about this, will he blame us?”

Liang Zheng fell silent, picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment and then put it down, saying: “The matter is urgent. Even if we tell him, we won’t be able to get back in time. Besides, the place is still under semi-closed management, so we can’t contact him.”

Guo Rui still couldn’t let go and said, “But he likes Grandma Shen the most.”

The courtyard was empty, and Shen Luo was going back to class. Before leaving, Shen Yixiang gave him a cloth bag with fresh loquats in it. It looked like they had just been picked.

Shen Yixiang said: “This is what your grandma wanted to give you before she was alive. She waited until the loquats were ripe, but she didn’t wait until you came back.”

Shen Luo remained silent along the way and closed her eyes tightly. You Min’s face kept getting closer and closer, and the wind wrinkled her face. She walked towards Shen Luo holding a bag of loquats and lifted it in front of him. The loquats smelled bitter and tasted salty.

He did not go to the hospital, but turned back to the deserted house. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw a bouquet of flowers in front of the door, a total of one hundred and sixty-six tulips. Each one was carefully packaged individually and then combined into a whole bouquet. It happened that news from An Yu came.

“Have you seen the flower?”

“Yeah.”

An Yu continued: “Every flower is a blessing. Remember that I still have you, and you also have me.”

Shen Luo’s tired body and mind were temporarily relieved. After opening the door, Shen Luo always felt that there was something more in the room. At this moment, he had no extra energy to think about it. He fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room.

Liang Qian, the devil in the world, had been quiet for more than a month. He thought that he had not contacted Shen Luo for a long time, so he ran to Xie Kairui’s room, lay down on the bed with a golden sword, and asked him if there was any way to contact others.

He took out another mobile phone, handed it to Liang Qian and said, “This mobile phone is not affected by this place, but it cannot be used for a long time. It is easy for them to capture electromagnetic waves.”

Liang Qian took it over immediately and said happily: “This is what I want. Thanks, I will return it to you later.”

After closing the door to the room, Liang Qian dialed Shen Luo’s number. After several calls, no one answered, so he had to call Liang Zheng first. They tried their best to act as if nothing had happened, but fortunately they did not arouse suspicion.

Just when Liang Qian was about to return the phone, Shen Luo’s call came back. Liang Qian said angrily: “What’s going on? We haven’t contacted him for so long. Don’t forget me.”

There was no word on the other side. Liang Qian thought that he was too cruel to speak, so he softened his tone and said again: “I will forgive you this time.”

Shen Luo didn’t want to play tricks with him, and said calmly: “Grandma is gone.”

“Where have you gone?” Liang Qian asked subconsciously.

Shen Luo’s nasal voice gradually became stronger and he choked up: “She has made a home in the fields and will not come back again.”

Now Liang Qian finally understood what he meant by “gone”. He changed his careless attitude and said angrily: “When? Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

“Just the past two days.”

Liang Qian was really angry now. He felt that Liang Zheng’s behavior just now was extremely unnatural. It turned out that everyone was hiding it from him. Liang Qian didn’t listen to what he said next and hung up the phone and ran out.

Xie Kairui was reading a book leisurely, and the door seemed to have been kicked open from the outside. Liang Qian threw the phone directly to him, with a very bad look on his face, so he asked: “What’s wrong? This face looks like he just came out of the toilet. It stinks to death.”

Liang Qian asked him: “Can you leave this place now?”

Xie Kairui looked at the sun hanging high outside, shrugged understandably, and said jokingly: “If you are not afraid of being warned, just go. I can’t tell you are quite playful.”

“I meant to leave, not to sneak away.”

Xie Kairui became serious, sat upright, and said solemnly: “If you leave now, it is equivalent to giving up your qualifications. If you leave, you can’t come back.”

Liang Qian said nonchalantly: “Then I won’t come back. I am number one wherever I am. It’s just a competition, so just think I’ll give it up to you.”

“You are free and easy.”

After Liang Qian packed up his things, he went to find the person in charge of the competition, but they pushed back and said that the competition would start in three days. If he quit now, all the layouts would have to be done all over again. Liang Qian was friendly with him at first, but he didn’t expect that the other party’s words would become more and more outrageous.

“She’s already dead anyway, so there’s no point in going back. Why don’t you win a good ranking here and make her happy when you go back to burn paper.”

Liang Qian looked at her proud face in disbelief. No matter how stable his temper was, he couldn’t continue to listen. He kicked the suitcase aside and was dragged out with his mouth covered just as he was about to speak.

“Let me go.” Liang Qian bit his hand, “Why are you stopping me? I must go back.”

Xie Kairui cursed loudly: “I C, you are like a dog and bite anyone you catch. If you can, bite him. See if you can beat him and see if he can go away. Go ahead.”

Liang Qian was told that he had no temper. He squatted on the side of the road in annoyance, buried his whole face in his hands, and said, “I’m so C.”

There were no cars on the road, only people passing by stopped. Xie Kairui felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he pulled him to a hidden corner, and there was an old poplar tree with branches as a cover.

Xie Kairui casually picked up two bricks and put them under his buttocks. Xie Kairui asked him, “I see that you have a good relationship with your grandma.”

She didn’t say it was okay, but as soon as Liang Qian said it, he glanced at his mouth aggrievedly and said, “It’s really good. Although we are not related by blood, she is also very good to me.”

“Can you have such feelings even if you are not related by blood?” Xie Kairui’s words were filled with disappointment.

Liang Qian said resolutely: “Of course.”

This couldn’t help but remind Xie Kairui of the stepmother his father brought back to him.

He had never told anyone about this experience. Today, seeing Liang Qian’s desperate look, he suddenly felt more alive.

He said: “I have a mother who is not related by blood. I was happy at first, but things changed after she got pregnant. I can’t tell whose fault it is, or maybe we are both right.”

Xie Kairui’s father was a drug dealer with many pharmaceutical companies under his name. When he was most successful, his wife left Xie Kairui and passed away.

But how could he take good care of a newborn child when his career was on the rise? He hired many nannies to take care of Xie Kairui.

When he was six years old, Xie Bin’s career finally stabilized. The day before Xie Kairui’s birthday, he brought back a woman who was as charming as Xie Kairui’s mother. He was extremely happy and celebrated his first birthday as a family of three.

After entering junior high school, Xie Kairui didn’t want to have the trouble of going back and forth, so he simply lived on campus and only went home on weekends.

It was an ordinary weekend. Wang Ling came to pick him up in person. When she got off the car, a battery car suddenly rushed out. Wang Ling saw Xie Kairui behind her. She screamed and without any hesitation, she bent over and held her belly and hid. Xie Kairui was too late.Xie Kairui was run over her leg by a car and stayed in the hospital for more than a month. Later, Xie Bin told him that she knew she was pregnant at that time. Her instinct was to protect her child. Xie Kairui didn’t blame her. From then on, the two of them could no longer get along as before.

Xie Kairui still has scars on his legs, and when he said this, his hands unconsciously touched them.

He smiled.

It seemed like it was just a story, and he was not in the story.

Old Yangshu also heard his story, and patted his back twice with his lowered hand. Xie Kairui didn’t care, and calmly played with the stones at his feet, saying: “There is nothing wrong with her wanting to protect her child. I don’t blame her.”

Liang Qian couldn’t understand his mood, nor was he qualified to understand, so he could only remain silent.

“Do you still remember what was written in the pre-game handbook?” Xie Kairui suddenly pointed the finger at the booklet that was distributed at the beginning. Liang Qian had an impression, but he didn’t know where to throw it on the corner of the table.

As expected, Liang Qian shook his head, his eyes were clear without any distracting thoughts. Xie Kairui couldn’t help but have a headache. He held his forehead and said, “You are like this. If you stay, you will probably be a waste.”

Rarely, Liang Qian did not refute, but urged him: “Speak quickly.”

“Go back and see for yourself.”

After finishing speaking, he kicked the brick aside and left. Liang Qian returned to the room and began to search all over the place. Finally he saw the booklet in the seam of the bed. After taking it out with difficulty, there were dents on it. Liang Qian didn’t care whether it looked good or not, and found the one he wanted at a glance.

That night he climbed over the wall and walked around Hewen Street all night.

Hewen Street extends in all directions, and is surrounded by a temple in the center. It not only looks dilapidated, but even a little empty. There is nothing worshipped inside, only a statue of Confucius. Liang Qian had nothing to do and wanted to go in and pay homage, but someone stopped him at the door and said, “Come back tomorrow.”

He just waited until the temple door opened. There was nothing special in the courtyard. There were two large vats with green buds sprouting out and half-open lotus leaves, but there were no flowers. There were various farm tools in the east and west wing rooms, and they were surrounded by a stick wrapped with a ribbon. Although it didn’t have much effect, luckily everyone who came here knew how to use it.

Plows, rakes, dustpans, poles, large and small baskets…

Liang Qian had seen and even handled many things. After bypassing the wing room, he reached the main hall. After thinking about it, Liang Qian went in and paid his respects.
