Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Cheers to the Past

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the city. The whole day didn't stop, plus the busy work at night, everyone's waist and knees were weak, and they were exhausted.After Liu Ye sent me and Da Ya downstairs, she didn't even bother to get out of the car, so she planned to turn around and go back. Da Ya got in and out of the car, looked at me, then at Liu Ye, lowered his head and said with a smile, "Sister, why are you in a hurry, you don't want to delay your family? Look at the long night, it's too late." I don't want to sleep, and the moon is so round tonight, why don't we just sleep in the dark, eat something, chat, talk heart to heart, what does Miss like?"

Liu Ye didn't expect Da Ya to come out so suddenly, and was also amused by Da Ya.Tilting his head to look at the long row of food stalls downstairs, he nodded happily. Although the place where I live is not very prosperous, but fortunately, there is a seafood market downstairs. Naturally, there are some food stalls at night. Grilled shrimp, grilled scallops, grilled oysters are fresh and delicious, crayfish, spicy The taste of crab is pure. In the area of ​​South Third Ring Road, if you want to eat something special, this place is quite famous. I found a relatively quiet place, and when the breeze blew, it was very cool. I stretched comfortably, and finally I was able to straighten my legs.

Da Ya frowned a lot, not knowing what he ordered, but everyone knew in their hearts that the purpose of this supper was not at all what to eat, but what to say.It's just that no one pointed it out, and they all knew each other tacitly. While waiting for the food to be served, and chatting, Liu Ye asked us why we ran so far into the wild mountains for no reason. As soon as I heard Liu Ye ask this, I was also wondering what to say about this matter.I can't tell her that Da Ya and I have no place to stay because it's too hot and we're just playing around. If we really say that, Liu Ye may not believe it, and we can't think that we are deliberately trying to hide something from her. , the misunderstanding is even deeper; the second is to say that, it seems that we two old men have no business all day long, so let her look down on me.There was no other way, and in the end I brought out the trick I had lied to Mazi, and lied that a friend just happened to need a pair of stone lions, so we went over there to help find a pair, and then went to the mountain for a walk. Unexpectedly, he got into these troubles.

Liu Ye smiled after hearing what I said. I don't know if this smile has guessed my lie or it was unintentional.I was rather embarrassed by her smile, and now I finally know that the biggest pressure of lying is not whether I can deceive others, but whether I can deceive myself first. Da Ya kept staring at the two of us, and after hearing what we had said, he curled his mouth and said in a tone: "Hey! Are you talking about an academic exchange or a leadership discussion? It’s not been a day or two since we’ve known each other, this guy is very friendly, he asks and answers, he’s very polite, he’s quite friendly? What do you think you’re doing with those ozone layers, why are you being so polite?”

As he spoke, he pointed at me, and then said to Liu Ye: "If you want to talk about this guy, you don't know that he wants to save face, he is as stubborn as a donkey, and you don't need to pick his reason. Besides, that incident was not a big deal at the time, everyone was a little irritable at the time, it was just a misunderstanding, let me see, there is no one who does not touch his teeth with his tongue, and there is no one who does not quarrel with the young couple, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, let it go Come on, don't catch a fart and you won't be able to chew it!"

Liu Ye glared at Da Ya, but unexpectedly, she didn't make a move or make a sound. Da Ya was stunned, and had no choice but to continue to persuade Liu Ye, saying that killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, so do you have to let a big man say "I'm sorry" to you in person?What's the big deal? They're not small-minded people, so why don't they just stare at this end? It's really not good. Let Lailiang give you a knock. Upon hearing this, Liu Ye raised her head and quickly waved her hands, explaining in a low voice that she didn't mean that.

This confuses both of us on the contrary, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the willow-leaf gourd.I haven't seen Liu Ye like this before, I don't know what's going on today, she's always hesitant to speak, she's always hesitant to speak, it's not like her character at all, it's a bit strange. Liu Ye herself also realized that her actions just now were somewhat contradictory, so she smiled wryly, looked at us both, and then said: "Actually, I don't know what to say, I still don't understand. To say this In fact, I can’t blame Lai Liang, I’ve been thinking about it at home for a few days, and I think what Lai Liang said is quite right, someone must be constantly revealing our whereabouts.”

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Da Ya doubted that he hadn't heard clearly, and stared at Liu Ye with a puzzled expression. Liu Ye sighed: "Well, I just want to say, maybe Lai Liang didn't wrong me, it's true that I made you suffer." When I heard this, I couldn't sit still.Although I have always been a little skeptical of Liu Ye, but I was a little surprised to hear Liu Ye himself say the same. I felt like I had knocked over a five-flavored bottle. I couldn't tell what it was like, but I definitely didn't have the joy after victory. I can't tell if it's regret or sadness, looking at Liu Ye, my heart is in a mess.

Liu Ye took a sip of water, shook her head and smiled helplessly, and then told us that although she didn't directly betray us, she probably had something to do with it.She knew very well in her heart that among the three, she was the only one who could reveal the secret.Originally, she also wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with us, but she didn't expect this incident to happen suddenly, so she simply took this opportunity to have a good talk. I sounded like there was something in the words, so I asked Liu Ye if there was something embarrassing to say, and if there was something embarrassing, I could tell us, maybe we can help.

Liu Ye smiled gratefully at me, and then said that it is better to listen to her tell a story first, maybe it will be helpful after listening.After saying this, Liu Ye adjusted his mood and began to speak. She said that there was a little girl who only knew her mother since she was a child, and had no father since she was born.Since she was sensible, she often heard all kinds of gossip from her neighbors, and she didn't even let her own children play with her.In her thinking, apart from her mother, she is herself in the family, and there is no such thing as father at all. In her memory, she would move almost every two years, and in the end even she herself couldn't remember how many times she moved.From childhood to adulthood, the whole family only relied on the meager income from her mother's small business. Naturally, life was stretched and poor.

Every time she just asked her mother why she didn't have a father, her mother would touch her head and tell her that she had a father, but her father died before she was born.Besides, she refused to say a word, and always told her that although she didn't have a father, she had a mother. She grew up in such an atmosphere in her childhood and adolescence. She had no friends or relatives. Apart from herself, the only person who could talk to her was her mother.She has been used to loneliness since she was a child, learned to enjoy loneliness, learned to entertain herself, learned to chat with herself, learned to rely on herself in everything, and knew how to take care of herself. From elementary school to junior high school, then from junior high school to high school, and finally to university, more than ten years have passed like this.When she was about to graduate from college, her mother found a box out of nowhere and gave it to her to keep for herself in the future, saying that it was from their family and her father left it before, so that she could keep it for herself. Keep a thought for yourself. Da Ya and I naturally know that this story is about Liu Ye herself, and that the box contains only beads and other items, but listening to Liu Ye whispering about these sad past events, I can't help being a little sad, and I don't feel very good Son, I really didn't expect Liu Ye's childhood to be so gloomy. Thinking back now, it’s no wonder that every time I talked about my childhood with Da Ya, she listened with a smile on her face, just laughed and didn’t talk to her.Thinking that she has been alone for so many years without many friends, and finally got a little familiar with us, I was so angry that I ran away.I was really ashamed in my heart, I really wanted to hug her tightly, pure friendship, pure hug. The same is true for Da Ya, his eye circles are a little moist, and he complained why Liu Ye didn't tell her earlier, no matter what, we are all friends, even if she really leaked the secret, we wouldn't blame her, so we recognized her as a friend.The most important thing between friends is mutual trust, understanding, tolerance, and tacit understanding.There is no need to meet, just to know each other; no need to talk, but to understand. These heartfelt words of Da Ya actually made Liu Ye cry. The moment Liu Ye cried in front of us, I panicked all of a sudden, I was at a loss, I didn't know what to do, so I quickly winked at Da Ya, and asked Da Ya to use his strengths to think of a way. Don't look at Da Ya's whining and chattering at ordinary times, but now he is not much better than me, his eyes are wide open, his mouth is wide open, his claws are numb, his mouth seems to be locked, and he doesn't make a sound at all. Liu Ye shed a few tears and quickly wiped them away. Li Hua smiled at us both with rain, saying that she never thought of betraying us, and she regarded us as friends from the bottom of her heart, so when she was in Erlong Lake, she only It's no wonder he got so angry.But after returning to Beijing, she thought about it by herself, and realized that things might not be as it seems on the surface. Maybe I didn't wrong her, and she didn't suffer wronged. After she figured it out, she immediately called her mother and asked if her mother had told others about her? Seeing that Da Ya and I were a little puzzled, Liu Ye came to his senses and told us that she would call her mother on the phone almost every day. Although she did not tell her mother about the things behind these beads, when did she leave Beijing and go to Beijing? Where and when she came back, her mother basically knew everything. When Da Ya heard this, he tilted his head and looked at Liu Ye: "Sister, you mean, it was your mother, no, it should be 'Auntie' who accidentally leaked our whereabouts?" Liu Ye shook her head and said to us: "Frankly speaking, I don't know either. However, I can guarantee that I haven't mentioned it to outsiders. Apart from the three of us, the only person who knows our whereabouts best is my mother. That's why I thought of asking my mom if she ever talked about me when she was chatting with other people." "Then what's the result?" I didn't expect it to be like this, so I couldn't help but ask in surprise. Liu Ye sighed: "My mother was a little bit hesitant at first, but seeing that I asked in a hurry, she insisted that she never mentioned me to anyone. I couldn't help asking her about my father again, There is also the matter of this bead, but my mother has always kept her mouth shut, and I really have nothing to do." After saying this, Liu Ye also felt a little sorry, and kept shaking her head. I looked at Da Ya, and saw Da Ya wink his eyes secretly at me, which meant that he didn't want me to say anything more. I didn't know what Da Ya was up to, and I didn't want to ask too much, so I quickly took the opportunity to go to warm up the meat skewers and hid out. Intuitively, I think Liu Ye's mother should be suspected, but it's hard to ask, or the conflict that had just been eased might intensify again.After all, Liu Ye is just such a family member, even if her mother leaked the secret, outsiders can't allow others to intervene in this matter, which is really a problem.Since the bead and token were left by Liu Ye's father, who is her father?How can there be such a thing?Where did he go again, without even caring about his wife and daughter? But having said that, judging from Liu Ye's age, her mother must be a little old lady in her fifties, so what's wrong with being so old?There is no motive, either?You can't disregard your daughter's life or death, can you?Is there another secret?Or are we only paying attention to ourselves and ignoring others? The kebab guy yelled at me several times before I came back to my senses, smiled apologetically at him, and walked back slowly with a plate. I heard Da Ya talking to Liu Ye, telling Liu Ye not to have any psychological burden. This may not be what she thought, maybe we all thought too much.In this day and age, it is all high-tech. There are a lot of needle-eye cameras and wireless bugs on the Internet. It may not be our fault. What Da Ya said is not impossible, but I always feel a little unreliable. Those things are a bit too far away from our lives, and they always feel like things used by enemy agents. In this peaceful age, they will not be so sinister and terrifying Bar? Under Da Ya's earnest persuasion, Liu Ye's mood gradually improved.Seeing that I sat down in a daze, silent and preoccupied, I couldn't help but look at me twice, but didn't say anything, reached out and gently picked up the cup, and smiled at me. Da Ya saw that I seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, so he quickly touched me under the table, and then I realized that I quickly raised the wine bottle and smiled at her. After Da Ya said, "Cheers to the past", we He slammed the glass hard.
