Chapter 36 Section fifteen

Lan Yue'er was sitting beside her in the carriage, silent.After a while, she loosened the bow on the small box, opened the lid, and saw the rose-red blue butterfly music powder box inside, and the butterfly's wings seemed to fly under a misty small oil lamp in the hood . She pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and she suddenly realized that the powder box was made by Yan Gu for her. "Don't open it," she told herself.She knew that the song hidden in it was something she couldn't listen to. "Once you hear it, you will not be free." She told herself. However, the more she dared not listen, the more she couldn't help opening the compact on her hand.Like a magic lamp being polished, the song of memories flowed out, so light, but more shocking than a giant.

"Don't listen to what I've told you." She complained to herself. Afterwards, the eldest mother said beside her: "There used to be an angel who was tired of the monotonous life in heaven and wanted to visit some rooms. What he hated most was the music in heaven. Those singing elves lived in the clouds. On. Before leaving, he stole a few elves on the clouds, hurriedly hid them in a small box on his body, and brought them to the world. Therefore, every time we open a music box, we will hear the comfort of heaven, No matter how old we are, we still feel like children at that moment. In fact, every time the music box is opened, those music elves will jump out and jump into our hair, next to our ears, on our shoulders, but we can't see it. .”

Lan Yue'er looked at the eldest mother with a sad smile. However, heaven is too far away from her. Just now, she saw Yan Guxing on the song stage.She longed for him all day.He had a charming smile on his face, not knowing that she could still see him from such a distance.How much she wanted to wave to him, but in a flash, she didn't raise her hand. "More you, less me..." She sang a song on the stage, and the song she sang suddenly reminded her that love is about thinking for the other person, if she really loves Yan so much, she should leave him.He should love someone of the same kind, live a happy life, and gradually become an old man and an old woman in each other's arms, and maybe they will be together in the next life.A woman who goes out to suck blood at night will only harm him.The gates of hell do not lead to heaven.

"To remember, but also to forget." She chanted the lyrics to herself.She didn't look at him until she sang the last song on the karaoke stage, but she knew he would be waiting for her outside the karaoke hall.There, she held back the passion in her heart with indifference. "More you, less me..." She kept singing in pain in front of him, like reciting a spell to herself. If she succeeds, Yan Guxing will forget her. She can summon everything in the dark night, can't she summon oblivion? Her hand was out the window, hanging over the hood of the car, and in the palm of that hand was the compact.

She spread her palms out, not even looking out of the window. The mid-autumn wind made the hood swish, and the lid of the powder box was blown away, happily singing the shepherd song of memories, as if unaware that its owner wanted the wind to blow it away, just like forgetting the past Same. The carriage moved quickly, and the powder box was thrown up, flying like a butterfly in the air, still singing, and then fell into her hand again.The carriage rumbled towards the embankment, it never left Lan Yueer's hand. Until the next day, when the sun was about to fade, she lay on the feather bed in the big bedroom, the compact still in her hand, and the music echoed.

It turned out that she couldn't summon Oblivion. She heard the excitement on the deck, as if something happened, but she ignored it.She heard girls cheering and sighing outside, but she ignored it.She heard more people rushing to the deck, and the little white book on the ship screaming, as if seeing something strange, she turned around and ignored it. Then, she heard Miao Ye walking in with brisk steps. "Yue'er, come out and have a look!" Miao Ye came to her bed and shook her awake. She lay lazily and asked, "What are you doing?" "As soon as you come out, you will know that the eldest mother has also gone to the deck." Miao Ye said happily, pulling her up and putting a cloak on her.

What else, she thought, was there that she hadn't seen?She won't make a fuss anymore.But Miao Ye took her out of the big dormitory and dragged her to the deck, where it was crowded with people. She had seen it from the edge of the boat. In her eyes, the big butterflies all over the sky spread out, they were kites with broken strings, flying in the sky above the bow of the ship, there were countless, like big birds, dotted with the red sunset afterglow in the distance, even the sky The birds on board are escorting them on both sides. There is no magic, this is human work, there is only one person who can make such a beautiful kite and fly so far, and all the strings are broken, but it is her heart.

"Have you seen so many kites?" Miao Ye asked her excitedly. Big Mama leaned against the railing of the deck, thinking of the sky.But Meng San sourly remembered that Lan Yue'er once told him that when she saw a kite, she would think of a friend. Those big butterflies flew higher and higher, and everyone had to raise their faces, put their hands on their foreheads to catch the light of the setting sun, and their eyes chased the kites in the sky that were about to sink into the distant mountains.But Meng San knew that he was going to hide that foreign girl forever. Lan Yue'er saw Yan Guxing standing on the embankment, wearing a broken hat, looking at her through the red river water under the slanting sunset, her lips trembled a little, as if she wanted to tell her that time never slipped away , the lost kite floats back again, and the only reality is this moment.

She looked at him as if seeing an oldest promise. Those kites finally disappeared on the distant mountains, but the escorting birds did not return.That day the sun hung low in the sky for a long time, the farmer stayed in the field all the time, and there was no smoke from the houses of every family. The owls and nightingales thought it was not the time for them to come and go, so they fell asleep until the stars showed their faces and the sun set. Sinking, that was the longest day in Lecheng for hundreds of years.
