29. The book is over
Qin Tian tossed and turned the pancakes at night in worry, and hesitated for a long time to take a bath at night before he dared to go down. This made Qingfeng laugh for a long time, and said what would your mighty subordinates think when they saw Chairman Qin, who is a man of the school in our school? .
Qin Tian had a bitter and sad expression on his face, and ignored him.
Even though he laughed at him, Qingfeng still put himself in Qin Tian's arms when he was sleeping at night. In summer in the county town, because there are green mountains and green waters all around, the temperature is not high at night, and only a fan is needed.
When Qin Tian got up in the morning, the old man was smiling when he saw him, and the dining table was filled with many local snacks.
"How about glutinous rice wrapped in fried dough sticks, mixed noodles, white porridge, pickled pomelo peel?" The old man smiled and wrapped glutinous rice with fried dough sticks for Qin Tian.
After breakfast, Qingfeng and Rongfeng were going to visit their parents in the countryside, Qin Tian took out the two cigarettes he had prepared earlier and asked him to take them to his father.
"There's no need to give such a good deal." Rongfeng, a little smoker, looked at Zhonghua and laughed.
The two brothers left, and the old man took Qin Tian with two small bamboo baskets and walked to the river beach in slippers.
"The river here is very good. The snails in the river are Qingshui snails. They are small in size but delicious. Qingfeng liked to eat this the most when he was a child!" The old man said with a smile.
"He was cute when he was young!" Qin Tian stepped on the cool river water and the old man looked for the snails attached to the stones in the shallow water one by one.
"He has always been timid. Last night he took the initiative to talk to me. I was very surprised. When he was young, he and Rongfeng brothers ate fried rice with eggs. He stole it from him, so he honestly asked his younger brother to take away the eggs in the bowl. When I saw it later, I put the eggs in Rongfeng’s bowl of fried rice on top, and put Qingfeng’s bowl on the bottom, and covered it with rice, hahaha !"
Qin Tian laughed after hearing this, he could imagine how honest and cute Qingfeng was when he was a child.
The water on the river beach is very clear and shallow, and the deepest part only reaches the calf of the feet. Two people, one old and one young, quickly picked up most of the baskets.
The old man put the snails and the basket into the water and rubbed them vigorously to wash off the dirt on the surface.
"Go back and add a few drops of vegetable oil, and you can eat it for a day."
Taking Qin Tian to sit down by the river beach, there are green hills everywhere, and the fruit trees on the opposite side of the river are full of fruits.
"I have met people like you before. It was when I went to the countryside in [-]. I was still an accountant in the commune. A group of educated youths from Shanghai came to the commune. They were all very young in their teens. , there is a young man among them, he is very lively, he can play the erhu, play the flute, loves to sing and make trouble, and he is not lazy in his work, he is a good person."
The old man took out a cigarette and lit it on a big rock by the river, letting the green smoke drift with the wind.
The old man does not smoke, Qin Tian is a little curious about his actions, but he seems to know that the ending of the story must be related to this river.
"Did that person die here?" Qin Tian asked.
"Listen to me slowly!" The old man lit another cigarette and smoked himself: "There was a flood that summer, and Qingfeng's father was only eight years old, and he followed the villagers to fish for firewood washed down by the river. Accidentally slipped into the water, and everyone was washed tens of meters away. It was the young man who rescued him with all his life downstream.
The two children in front of me didn't take care of them, and it was hard to bring up his father so much. After knowing this, I broke a fire stick angrily, but I don't know how to thank him. "
"and after?"
"Before I thanked him urgently, he was reported the next day."
"Report?" Qin Tian took a cigarette from the old man and lit it, the old and the young were smoking Xia Ri Yanchou, sitting by the river feeling sad.
"I was reported by the people in the agency, and found out that he was doing this with a young man in the agency. The two lived together in the attic of the old warehouse. They were caught on the spot and beaten to death. He finally said that he seduced him. Others, nothing to do with others.
The young man from our agency was taken back by his family, and he was beaten until midnight.
I went to see him secretly at night, and he was beaten very badly. I told him that there would be a public trial meeting tomorrow, saying that he was going to have a public trial. It was hard to hide, he just nodded and asked me to give him a cigarette. "
The old man pointed to the middle of the river beach: "He committed suicide at night. At that time, the river water had receded to what it is now, very shallow and clear; but he still drowned himself in the shallow water. I went there when the body was collected. The river beach He scratched two marks on the sand in the middle with his hands."
Qin Tian sighed as he looked at the water that was just enough to cover his calves.
"People want to die, and they can do anything, but the courage at that moment is the most difficult." The old man followed his eyes and looked over: "There, the water is similar to today's. It's strange. It's still yellow muddy water in the morning. When I went to collect his body, he was lying in the clear water as if he was asleep, but he was holding two handfuls of sand in his hands."
"Did his family find out later?" Qin Tian stomped out the cigarette.
"I begged other educated youths not to tell them the truth about their family. Who would tell? He is such a nice person in the ordinary life. When everyone died, the club stopped pursuing him. A few days after his death, the one who was close to him The young man from our company went crazy, and then he got into the deep mountains, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Some people said that he fell to his death.
If this is placed now, maybe it won't be like this! "The old man said with tears in his eyes.
"To the end of his death, he just wanted to protect his family's reputation. What killed him was not rape and beatings, but people's words! How did his family deal with it later?" Qin Tian sighed.
"I wrote a letter to their family, saying that their son had drowned while saving someone, and then sent all the 68 yuan in my family's money, and secretly produced a death certificate and stamped it with the company's stamp."
"You're such a good person, is there someone from his family?" Qin Tian sighed.
"I didn't come, it's too far away. It was too turbulent at that time, and there were too many children in the family, so maybe there is no way to come!" The old man sighed: "Actually, Qingfeng's name is related to that person, and that person's name is Xiang Shan. I gave my grandson a green peak, so yesterday he came to tell me about your affairs, I thought it was fate, and fate found it!"
"Will you agree with us?" Qin Tian asked.
The old man looked at him and patted his hands: "You are a good boy. I know about your school affairs from Rongfeng. My grandson Qingfeng is an honest boy. Can you always treat him well?"
"Yes, Grandpa!" Qin Tian looked at the river and said, "I also swear to 'Xiang Shan'."
"Okay, okay! Your mother told Qingfeng that if you still decide to be together after five years, she will no longer object; I am different from her, as long as I am alive, I will support you and protect you. From now on, you will be my good child!"
It was the first time Qin Tian knew what his mother was thinking at that time, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.
When the old man dragged him back, he looked back at the clear river and said to himself: "Xiang Shan, you were born at an untimely time, but don't worry, I will live up to Qingfeng in this life, and let him be peaceful and happy!"
