Chapter 26 Chapter 26: Heaven and Earth

The mountains are silent, and the flowing water is silent.Just bid farewell to the shallow years of the past, and grow old overnight.If one day, the person you love suddenly leaves, those days of being favored by thousands of people and holding hands to each other will become useless memories.Promises are like the wind, who can find the eternity they want in the wind? After experiencing it, you will know that Liu Guang is just a bystander of life.It seems to travel with all living beings in the world of mortals, but it is clearly independent of the world.So many partings of life and death, joys and sorrows, it treats each other calmly.A person's life is chased by time, but time is still the same, not in a hurry.

Sanmao claims to be able to predict the prophets and communicate with ghosts and gods, but he can't change the fate of fate.It wasn't until that day, when she heard the news of He Xi's death, that she realized that the nightmare prediction had finally come true.In the dream, I was alone, without Jose.She thought she would die alone, but she didn't want to. She and He Xi made a mistake.On the Naihe Bridge, it was her beloved husband walking alone. In 1979, like every year, the spring was prosperous and the autumn was dry, and the moon was waning and full.In this year, some people enjoy the joy of new birth, while others bear the pain of death.For Sanmao, this year was a catastrophe in her life.Her heart, because of the loss of her beloved, could never be complete again.

Before the disaster, Sanmao was busy welcoming his parents from Taiwan.Chen Siqing and his wife traveled far away in Europe, admiring the places of interest in the West along the way, and also visiting their daughter and son-in-law who were far away.The arrival of her parents made Sanmao temporarily forget the terrible omen in her nightmare, and she hoped that the joy of reunion could dispel the unknown parting. He Xi, who didn't know how to address his father-in-law and mother-in-law, actually called "Father, Mother——" in Chinese when Sanmao's parents arrived, and Sanmao was moved to tears.Jose, who never spoke Chinese, actually called out to his parents when he met for the first time.It can be seen how deeply he loves Sanmao.Chen Siqing and his wife looked at this kind young man, recalling their daughter's emotional journey over the years, they were filled with emotion and tears welled up in their eyes.

Sanmao's parents lived with her on the island for nearly a month.For a month, the couple really felt Sanmao's different life.Let them worry about their little daughter for half their lives, and they still can't let go of their concern for her.Although Sanmao's withdrawn temper and personality in the past have faded with the years of tempering.Although beside her, there is already a man who spends her life hand in hand.But the love of parents is eternal. Later, Chen Siqing wrote in a letter to Sanmao, saying: "Your husband also has the same personality, so you get along and appreciate each other. In an ordinary and comfortable environment, your race can make life very difficult." Full of fun, you can also perform your inner breakthrough drama without wind and waves, unwilling to live a mediocre life, and willing to make yourself bigger. I don’t know, whether this is too much love for life, or something else.”

Did you know that this kind father has the same romantic complex as his daughter in his bones.So he can deeply understand that the rivers and mountains in Sanmao's dream are desolate deserts and vast islands. Later, Sanmao accompanied her parents on a trip to London.At the airport on La Palma Island, Jose saw them off.It was agreed that I would accompany Sanmao back to Taiwan next year.It was agreed that they would take care of their little daughter for the rest of their lives.But he missed the appointment.Sanmao didn't expect that this farewell was actually a forever farewell. A small propeller plane took away the last encounter.The moment I look back, the one I love the most has become an untouchable cloud.On the plane, Sanmao met a passerby, and she handed Sanmao a business card, which stated that she was the widow of a certain person.This is the custom in Spain. Widowed women must add widows.However, when Sanmao saw these words, he suddenly panicked inexplicably.An ominous premonition came flooding in like a tide, drowning her, drowning...

Unexpectedly, two days later, Jose died in an accident while diving, and San Mao became a widow in this way.That day, Jose dived into the bottom of the sea as usual, but never surfaced again.This person who has been infatuated with the sea all his life gave his love to him with his life.Leave regrets for the woman he has loved for thirteen years.Since then, Sanmao's expression has a sadness that will never be erased. This is life, a life that cannot be lived as one wishes.Sanmao heard the bad news and rushed to La Palma Island with her parents from England.She fell to her knees overseas, crying out in pain, begging God to allow Jose to return home, even if it was a dead body.But the only response to her was the sound of raging waves.Poor Sanmao, who turned gray overnight.

"I said to God, I use all my confession to exchange José back for you. Even if my hands are broken and my face is ugly, it doesn't matter. I must return my José to me. The old Spanish lady who accompanied me told me, She looked at my hair overnight, and it turned white a little bit." Goodness see you.Two days later, Jose's body was recovered.However, Jose, who had been soaked in sea water for several days, was already stiff and his face was very ugly.Sanmao threw herself into her husband's arms desperately, crying bitterly.This miserable scene made Chen Siqing and his wife seem to have returned to the past, when Sanmao's fiancé died of a heart attack, and Sanmao watched him being nailed into the coffin blurred with blood and tears.Why does the tragedy repeat itself again and again on this kind woman?

Hearing San Mao's mournful cry, Jose's wound was bleeding profusely.Sanmao believes that in another ghost world, Jose can always sense everything in the mortal world.It's just that he can't hold his beloved wife in his arms again, and can't give her any more warmth.Sanmao stood in front of Jose's coffin, looking back on the time they spent together, she felt that the love she gave him was too little, too little. She knew that she really lost Jose forever, it was true.This island of death took away her lover and her last nostalgia for the world.But she didn't dare to die, how could she die with her elderly parents still alive.Perhaps Jose couldn't bear to let Sanmao feel sad alone, so she chose to leave the world when she was accompanied by her parents.How sad it is to abandon the one you love the most, but the limited life can only afford this little bit, a little bit of time.

At night, San Mao kept vigil for Jose alone.She hoped that she could spend the last night quietly with He Xi in this hut, the last night of reunion and dependence in this life.Holding those cold and pale hands, Sanmao knew that He Xi would never come back.Bai Zhu has hatred and tears until dawn. Jose's cemetery is in the cemetery where he and Sanmao often go for walks.It is a high hill, where you can see the place where Jose used to work, see this beautiful ancient town, and see the vast blue sea.They used to watch the scenery here hand in hand, but today, Jose was buried under the loess, and became eternal confidants with this land.

"I want to dig the grave alone, with the shovel after shovel of soil and my tears, I think in my heart that Jose died in the arms of his other lover - the sea, so there should be no regrets." Sanmao alone Jose digging the grave, this is the only thing she can do for him, in order to repay her husband for loving her for so many years. Thirty-year-old Jose was buried forever on the beautiful La Palma Island.This is an unstoppable tragedy. Fortunately, he is accompanied by endless waves day and night.His love, the sea. Originally thought that Sanmao could be ordinary from now on, and he and Hexi would spend their entire lives on this foreign island, no longer wandering.Just guarding the small home quietly, writing indifferent words, enduring poverty and ignorance.Things backfired, and they were forced to bid farewell after all, unable to dodge.Sanmao was injured too deeply, and she relied on sedative injections every day to relieve the pain.

The name Jose, like a sharp knife, cut her heart fiercely, bleeding painfully day and night.This scar, this brokenness, can never heal again.How many times she woke up from the dream, she could hear her crying heartbreakingly: Jose is back!Jose is back! Every day when she wakes up, the first thing Sanmao does is go to the cemetery to accompany her long-sleeping husband.When she was a child, Sanmao once said that the dead are the gentlest.She sat alone until dusk, hoping that her gentle husband could give her a smile and say a word.After waiting for so long, only Qingfeng gave her a shallow hug, and Mingyue saw her off. Sanmao went to the carpenter's shop and asked someone to make a cross for Jose's grave, and wrote a few simple inscriptions: Jose Marian Gero.rest in peace.Your wife remembers you. She kissed and stroked the name again and again.I hope that through this cross, I can convey a touch of earthly warmth to my deceased husband and convey her deep memory.Sanmao felt that not only He Xi was buried in this cold loess, but herself as well. Chen Siqing and his wife could no longer bear to let their daughter stay alone on this island. They almost begged Sanmao, hoping that she could accompany her parents back to Taiwan.Looking at the tearful parents, Sanmao agreed to go back to China first.She told He Xi, who was sleeping underground, that she was only going back to China, and she would definitely return as promised soon.Come to his grave, watch Yunjuanyunshu with him, and listen to the ebb and flow of the tide. Before leaving, Sanmao cried bitterly on Hexi's grave.She dug the soil desperately, let the ten fingers dig out blood, hoping to dig him out, hug him tightly again, until they rot together into bones.The distraught parents stepped forward to take her away, they couldn't bear the torture of their daughter. Get out of here, so that the dead lover can really rest in peace.From then on, this woman named Sanmao could only walk around the world with a kind of incomplete poignancy.In that autumn, the red leaves of La Palma Island were like blood, and the volcano was like blue. Until that day, she has enough courage to face this farewell, and then come back to accompany her lover, talk about one-night love, and sing a love song.
