Chapter 25 twenty three.love visit

However, although love has God's blessing, it is not all smooth sailing.Soon, the plumber found an invisible person between him and Duan Xiaomu.That man is so powerful, he took Duan Xiaomu's love and left, no matter whether it was forced or whatever, Duan Xiaomu was always willing to do so. The first time Duan Xiaomu mentioned Xiaojiezi was a snowy night.The plumber brought Duan Xiaomu an evening paper from Licheng.Duan Xiaomu read the newspaper carefully.The headline of the day was "A thieves gang in Licheng was arrested".I don't know why, after reading the title Duan Xiaomu's heart was tightly gripped.In fact, for a long time, Duan Xiaomu has paid close attention to the news about criminal teenagers.She has never talked about it with anyone, but she has long been used to saying her wish to let Xiaojiezi go on the right path in her daily prayers.Now she clutched the paper, shaking badly.Intuition told her that something had happened.She was in no mood to finish reading the news word by word, and her eyes began to scan a few lines to find his name.Finally, she saw the word "Chu". After the word "Chu Mou" penetrated into her eyes, she no longer had the strength to look at the rest of the characters——Xiao Jiezi was called "Chu Jie".She closed her eyes and raised her face.The plumber felt something was wrong with Duan Xiaomu, so he approached her and put a hand on Duan Xiaomu's shoulder.At this time, Duan Xiaomu's eyes had already shed a tear.Although Christians are the most sensitive and emotional people, they are always more likely to shed tears, but in the eyes of the plumber, Duan Xiaomu should be regarded as the strongest Christian.From last winter to this spring, during the time they spent together, this was the first time Duan Xiaomu cried.So the plumber got flustered, and he knew something really big had to happen.He didn't dare to ask, but kept looking down at her raised face.Finally Duan Xiaomu said slowly:

"Do you know Xiaojiezi?" "Who is that? I don't know." The plumber answered honestly.Then he saw Duan Xiaomu laughed abruptly: "He lives in Xigengdao Street. He is a little thief, very arrogant. He always thought that everyone knew him!" Duan Xiaomu shook his head, showing a mocking Xiaojiezi expression, but the more serious expression appeared on his face. It's mostly a kind of pity. After a long silence, Duan Xiaomu suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked the plumber: "What day is it today?" "March 2," replied the plumber.

After hearing this, Duan Xiaomu immediately felt relieved.She nodded, as if meditating to herself or saying to the plumber: "Xiao Jiezi's birthday is March 28. He is not yet 18 years old, so he should not be sentenced to a heavy sentence." For a period of time later, Duan Xiaomu bought evening newspapers by herself every day, and she had no time to go home after buying them, so she read them on the road with a cane.But she never heard from him again. The plumber slowly learned a little about the past.He knew that Xiaojiezi had done all kinds of bad things since he was a child.He stole, robbed and even kidnapped.He loves gambling very much. It can be said that his purpose of stealing money is not to enjoy it directly, but to scatter them on the casino as a kind of enjoyment.Even if he loses everything, he feels refreshed.But Duan Xiaomu just liked him, since he was a little villain.She makes a lot of money for him to gamble, and every time she wears a cane and walks a long way to help him pay the ransom, and then on the way back they didn't say a word, they went back to their own homes, and he didn't even say thank you. I don't want to tell her.This confuses the plumber very much.In the simple heart of the plumber, love is very honest, just like what is said in fairy tales, usually "the prince drew out the sword and killed the monster, saved the beautiful princess, and the princess fell in love with the brave prince from then on".So he couldn't understand why Duan Xiaomu, who was so kind, spent her love on a bastard.The plumber also often feels that he is not worthy of Duan Xiaomu, because he is just a manual laborer with no education and money, and he also faintly feels that someone will take Duan Xiaomu away from him, but he always feels that People should be very good and brave.He even thought that that person should be riding a white horse with a sword, and then he took Duan Xiaomu away and gave her unparalleled happiness ever since.But now he knows that his rival in love is a thief, a little rascal, how unwilling he is.He finally couldn't bear to ask Duan Xiaomu:

"Xiao Mu, what exactly do you like about him?" Duan Xiaomu shook her head, she said in a daze: "I do not know either." There was no news about Xiaojiezi in the evening paper.Duan Xiaomu finally walked to Xiaojiezi's house one night.The plumber followed her.Spring has come, and the willow trees on both sides of Xigendao Street have sprouted again.The spring breeze always blows up some wind and sand that fascinates the eyes. The plumber rubbed his eyes and saw a group of children playing in front of him.Duan Xiaomu stopped and looked at them.He didn't know that she was quickly searching for a girl's face.She wasn't there, and the "pin" girl wasn't there, so Duan Xiaomu continued walking forward in disappointment.

After turning Xigendao Street again, you will arrive at "Yuanyumen Street".Xiaojiezi's house is on "Yuanyumen Street" and goes to the second gate from the top.Duan Xiaomu knew that Xiaojiezi's family lived here about 10 years ago.But for some reason, she didn't even have the courage to turn into this small alley to take a look. She was worried that when she turned around the intersection of Xigendao Street and turned to this street, Xiao Jiezi's head would jump suddenly. When he came out, he was still very close to her with his malicious smile.She was afraid of seeing him so abruptly, she would have no time to sort out her expression, she would lose her usual peace and tranquility, and her love for him would be fully revealed.This is the first time she has turned this street. "Yuanyumen Street" is far less prosperous than Xigendao Street, because it is just a quiet dead end, only this side can turn to Xigendao Street, and there is no other way.At this time, she had already seen the gate of Xiaojiezi's house.The couplet on the door should have not been refurbished for more than 5 years, the red paint has basically disappeared, and most of the characters are already unclear. Duan Xiaomu just vaguely judged that the two characters are "upright".

It was Grandma Chu who opened the door.She is a very kind person with a thin skin. Since Xiao Jiezi's accident, she has basically stopped walking on Xigendao Street. She is terribly afraid of going out to meet people, and she is terribly afraid that others will mention her grandson.She didn't believe in Buddhism until this age, and now she recites scriptures at home every day, begging the Buddha to let her only grandson be a good person with "uprightness".Even when she saw a junior like Duan Xiaomu, she also showed a look of embarrassment. "He's locked up in the detention center in the eastern suburbs. His number is 4457," the grandma of the Chu family bit her lips and said, "4457, 4-4-5-7." Yin kept saying this number, for fear that Duan Xiaomu would not be able to remember it.

There are two barren hills in the eastern suburbs, which turn green in May. Each hill looks like a solid three-dimensional triangle, just like a few attractive rice dumplings.Duan Xiaomu was sitting on the bus going to Dongjiao Detention Center at this time.She stared blankly at the bag of things for Xiaojie on her lap, and did not move and did not say a word to the lively middle-aged woman next to her.She felt that she had grown up suddenly, and she was extremely panicked about it.This is not the pity and affection of a kind believer for a young man who has lost his way.This is not a deep friendship developed from the childhood playmates of childhood sweethearts, at least it seems that these are not, this is clearly the love of a young girl who has just grown up for a young man.Hot and ripe, who can dispel and who can turn a blind eye? This is her love, the love of a cripple, a heart patient, a poor man who has no relatives and no reason but clings to God.She never knew, nor expected, that a patient's love can grow into such a strong body, and it has reached the point where it is more incurable than her illness.

"Maybe love tortured me to death first." Duan Xiaomu thought secretly on the bus.Suddenly her heart ached violently.She folded her hands over her heart and patted gently.She begged God to let her survive, so that she could meet Xiaojiezi smoothly. But the angina is like a snake that has just woken up, spitting out its core, approaching step by step.She felt the pain was getting worse.She was desperate for a while, she wondered if she would be able to reach the detention center, she even wondered if she would fall down with a bang, this area is very desolate, there is not even a small clinic around, she didn't know if she fell like this, Can it be saved.But she didn't want to die, she wanted to see him.She prayed to God that she could hold on.

Just when she was about to pass out, her slightly opened eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a large dense cherry forest on the hillside outside the window.It is May, and the branches that are raised to the sky are already covered with red fruits.The cherry trees one after another are connected together, like a low haze, lingering in the valley leisurely, as if foretelling that something beautiful is about to come.Duan Xiaomu couldn't help admiring the wonder of this cherry grove in the consciousness she hadn't completely lost.She slowly raised a hand and stuck it on the glass of the car window, as if she wanted to touch the alluring red cherry.She also felt their fragrance at the same time.She remembered.In her dream, she once held Du Wanwan's hand and ran to such a cherry grove.It turns out that such a place really exists, how unreal and beautiful it is.

She didn't realize that she had opened her eyes completely, and her heartbeat gradually slowed down and became normal.When she realized that the tidal angina had receded and she was still fine, the car had already driven through the cherry grove.She poked her head out of the car and tried to look carefully at the cherry grove.She's going to remember it, she's going to remember this.She thought she would come again, she would stand here and wait for happiness to come. After a long time, she firmly believed that it was this cherry grove that saved her life. Finally came to the detention center.Very different from what she imagined, Xiao Jiezi didn't have a haggard and melancholy expression.He's even a little fatter than he used to be.Maybe it's because he used to "work" day and night when he gambled, but now, his life has become extraordinarily regular. The time for eating and sleeping has never moved by half a minute. He lives in this "easy" life fatter.I am also in a good mood, because I got enough sleep, my whole face looks radiant, my hair is shaved short, and each one stands upright vigorously.

Maybe we should take this time to describe Xiaojiezi's appearance, because this is the closest time Duan Xiaomu has faced Xiaojiezi except playing the game of "catch a wife" with Xiaojiezi when he was a child. She was still very young, and Duan Xiaomu was so panicked at that time that she didn't even dare to look at Xiaojiezi's face.So, for the first time, she could get a good look at him.For the first time, she realized that he should be regarded as a handsome man.He has a long face with a pointed chin, thick black and stubby eyebrows, and small eyes that are particularly bright because their pupils are a wonderful light yellowish brown.However, he is not tall at all, maybe just a head taller than Duan Xiaomu, but because of his very strong body, he still gives people a very brave feeling.Duan Xiaomu looked, looked, and his eyes fell on his right hand.His palms are very thick, his fingers are stubby, and the pads of his fingers are exceptionally round.Although this hand is placed on the side of the body, the five fingers are stretched in different directions, and the whole hand is opened to the greatest extent, as if ready to be lifted up at any time to give someone a slap.This right hand, what has it done?Such a question quickly flashed through Duan Xiaomu's mind.It has grabbed poker cards, touched mahjong, hit people's faces and hammered people's chests, it happily accepted money and handed it to others unwillingly, and it once penetrated girls' In the clothes... Duan Xiaomu shook her head lightly, she had to get this question out of her mind quickly, it was constantly secreting rotten juice like a rotten fruit. It's funny to think about it. After so many years, this is the first time she can see the person she loves clearly. In the past, she couldn't even clearly know what her lover looked like, but it didn't seem to matter to her at all. She didn't need to understand He, without seeing him, love still grows as usual, clean and lush like a fruit tree that grows smoothly without pests and bad weather.She sometimes thinks about it, and feels that God has given her such a sweet Eden. She said to him: "I just found out from Grandma Chu that you are here, so I came here." She hesitated in her heart before she said it, but it was better than asking "Are you okay?" She doesn't like to expose such precious love like gymnosperm seeds. In fact, Xiaojiezi was a little excited when he saw Duan Xiaomu.Because no one has visited him since he came here.His mother ran away with a one-eyed businessman who came to Licheng to do jewelry business a year ago, but fortunately, Xiaojie was quick and pried open her jewelry box before his mother ran away, stole all the jewelry and hid up.But there are always gains and losses, because he can't go home after stealing these jewelry, and he can't see his mother again.He knew his mother wouldn't blame him though, because she'd have more jewelry soon, and she could dress herself up like a Christmas tree, which had always been a fucking dream.His father is definitely the biggest waste. The worker in the welding factory has long since stopped working. He is about to be 50 years old and still lives in his mother's house. Every evening, he sends his 80-year-old mother to buy vegetables. flour too The old lady carried it back, and eating dumplings twice a week was a habit he could not change.Recently, he has been busy with the sequel, and has had a heated fight with the little widow of the Liang family on Xigendao Street.He said don't mention anything about the past, but this time I'm looking for a woman from a good family (a woman from the Liang family)! Therefore, only his grandma cares about Xiaojiezi's coming to the detention center.But the old woman's legs and feet are not good, so she has no way to see her grandson, so she has to call.Xiao Jiezi on the phone was not at all sad, and asked with a smile, "Is my dad still getting along with the widow of the Liang family?" He also laughed when he heard his grandma say that his dad had already lived in: "This old thing You are finally not at home, grandma, you can breathe a sigh of relief." This should be the most friendly sentence Xiao Jiezi has ever said in his life.Because it was at this time that he realized something about love and caring.Before he came here, he also had a few good girlfriends. They liked to be tired of him acting like a baby, and then spent his money to buy hollowed-out silk bras or go to the most famous "Basara" hairdressing salon in Licheng for a year. The most popular "ear of corn", some people even got a piece of Italian jewelry stolen by Xiaojiezi.However, since Xiao Jiezi entered the detention center, they never visited him, nor did they make a phone call.Xiaojiezi finally understood that women are probably not as good as his mother.One day in a dream he shouted: "I want to sell jewelry, I want to sell jewelry!" It was when Xiao Jiezi felt the most desolate that Duan Xiaomu came to visit him.And brought him lots of biscuits, fruit, and fresh honey.In fact, there are some books that talk about the principles of life and life, but these are negligible in Xiaojiezi's eyes.She is sitting across from him now.Sitting down made one forget for a moment the disability of her leg.She looks very dignified now.The pure white face is as bright and reliable as the little puppet that people hung on the lintel to pray for blessings in the past.She was wearing a shirt with small white flowers on a purple background. It was a neat old style, but she looked a bit mature and plump like a young daughter-in-law.Xiaojiezi forgot who she was for a moment, and just stared at her bewilderedly.Neither of them said anything, his life in the detention center, her life as a Christian student, both did not overlap and were far apart.She made him look a little embarrassed, and she hastily brought up a subject by saying: "I see the kids playing in Westgate Street now, and they call you brother." "Of course, they all followed me. I taught them how to climb walls and climb trees, and they all competed to do 'big things' with me!" of. Duan Xiaomu thought to himself, he is still the same as before, he has not changed at all, she hopes that he will improve quickly, so she is a little disappointed, but she still has to admit that such a little hero makes her feel very kind.
