Qingcheng I

Chapter 21

The two heavy rains separated that past event and separated the youth of our five teenagers.

The day before my 14th birthday, on the last day of my 13th birthday, Gu Lang stopped me in the school corridor.

When I turned around, I saw a faint smile on his face and sunshine in his eyes. He reached out and handed me a necklace with a bird pendant.

He thought for a long time, and organized the language several times, but the words he said were still embarrassing. He said, this bird pendant is for you.The day you undressed me... I saw a red birthmark on your back that looked like a bird...

Before I had time to say thank you, Jiang Biehe had already appeared beside Gu Lang and me like a ghost, he must have heard Gu Lang's last ambiguous words.

Gu Lang and I hurriedly shouted, "Hello, vice principal, and then we both wanted to leave this awkward place in a hurry, but when we ran, we bumped into each other because of our incomprehension, and then staggered, rolled and crawled away from the place." .

Some people say that the fate of a child with a birthmark will be very twists and turns, because the birthmark is used to recognize the closest relatives when they are separated in the crowd in the future.

The person who said this is Hainan Island.

He once said that there was a heart-shaped birthmark on Xiaoci's lower abdomen.Therefore, Xiao Ci is a child with a very hard life. I don't know if one day, she will meet her relatives in the vast crowd.

The matter of the bird pendant has become my secret.

It's just, Gu Lang, I don't know, if one day, I am separated from you in the vast crowd, will it let me find you?

I never wanted to talk about my 14th birthday.

Because for me, this is a day cursed by the devil. From this day on, my friends and I will be far apart.

Too many unbearable past events happened after his 14th birthday - Ye Ling's suicide, Gu Lang's departure, Hainan Island's robbery, Huba's imprisonment...

Close your eyes and not hear the sound of the wind.

I can only see the vague past, from the day of my birthday, faintly emerging——

On my birthday, Ye Ling personally wove a bracelet for me with colored thread, with a sky blue base and white thread between.

Blue is melancholy, white is pure.

She tied it on my wrist herself, then shook her hand and smiled at me knowingly.On her wrist, there is also a bracelet exactly like mine.

Girls on campus always like to wear the same trinkets as their closest friends, this is our way of intimacy.

At that time, it was very popular to weave this kind of bracelets on campus, with various styles.Dense silk threads accompany the girl's dense thoughts, all woven into this bracelet one by one.They will give it to the boy they like intentionally or unintentionally, that kind of implicit thoughts, they don't reveal it but they know each other.Girls with dexterous hands even weave the bracelets very wide and make them into wristbands commonly used by boys when they play basketball.

Jiang Kemeng also compiled one for Hainan Island and gave it to him.

As a result, Hainan Island turned a blind eye.

At that time, many girls also liked him.Recalling that time, we were really superficial, and most of the initial love affairs were for those good-looking boys.

Jiang Kemeng's girl's intentions were abruptly squandered by Hainan Island under the watchful eyes of the whole class.

However, Jiang Kemeng's girlish heart is still very strong.That afternoon, she found me and said, Tianya, please help me transfer this bracelet to Hainan Island.The little one looks pitiful.

This is the first time Jiang Kemeng, who has always been stronger than me, asked me for help.

I don't know if it's out of psychological joy, or I'm just an enthusiastic little girl at heart, but I actually agreed to her and took the bracelet.

That afternoon, I smiled more obsequiously than a pimp, hoping that Hainan Island would accept Jiang Kemeng's great gift.

Later I realized that I sympathized with Jiang Kemeng and felt that she, like me, liked a boy, but she didn't get any response.

What is this called?

Yes, this is called sympathy.

The more poetic ones are called: the same people who have fallen in the end of the world.

In the end, Hainan Island was forced by me to have no choice. He said, Tudou, if you make one for me, I will accept it.

Probably in order to live up to my mission, I went all out, and I said, okay, if you accept it, I will make up one for you.

Huba stood aside, with straight eyes, and said, I want it too!

Hainan Island slapped him on the head and said, shit!I want your uncle to be a bird!

Later, I followed Ye Lingxue and weaved two crooked bracelets, and they were still pink.One was given to Hainan Island, and the other was given to Huba.

Huba looked helplessly at me as I tied the pink bracelet on his wrist, and he said, Sister Tudou, if you were born in ancient times, you stupid person would definitely be divorced by your husband !
Hainan Island said, Tudou, don't pay attention to him, it's pretty good.

Jiang Kemeng is very grateful to me because I successfully sold her bracelet to Hainan Island, and she is very motivated to become twin sisters with me.If people can be used to weave bracelets like silk threads, Jiang Kemeng will definitely be tightly entangled with me and weave into a big bracelet that will never be separated.

So, on my birthday, Jiang Kemeng also gave me a small gift, and I was flattered.

Of course, I remember my 14th birthday, not because of Ye Ling's blue bracelet, nor because of Jiang Kemeng's sudden kindness.But from this day to the next three months, my memory seems to be lost.

I just remember that day, there was a heavy rain, very heavy rain.

After the four of us went home to report for duty, we made an appointment to meet at the noodle shop on Qingfeng Street at six o'clock. This was Ye Ling's suggestion.She said that on your birthday, you should eat longevity noodles.So, we found a Lanzhou ramen restaurant and used ramen as longevity noodles.

From six o'clock until 07:30, there was no sign of Ye Ling.

Feeling something was wrong, we hurried to her house and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded.

……

We went back to that noodle shop and waited until the shop closed at ten o'clock in the evening, but we didn't see Ye Ling appear.

Huba spread his hands and said, she probably forgot.With Gu Lang, we friends all retreated to the second line.Ugh.

I looked at Hainan Island, anxiously, and said, will something happen to her?

On that rainy night, the three of us ran and searched around the place where Ye Ling could be found, but, still, no one could give us a response.

……

Since then, the memory began to ache every rainy day.

Not because of the heavy rain on my birthday, but three months after my birthday, on that day, it also rained heavily.Ye Ling fell from upstairs like a light and fluttering leaf.

They said that on the day she stumbled and fell from the building, she was covered with a sky blue towel with a cute little bear on it, smiling so warmly.My Ye Ling, it seems that before she left, she didn't want to take another look at this world.

Even a glance.

At that time, Gu Lang, because he was too indulgent, had already been transferred from our school and the city by his angry underworld father.

As for where he went.

Nobody knows.

From now on.

Ye Ling's fall from the building and Gu Lang's departure are like a grand secret, which is silent at the bottom of the water and everyone can see it, but no one can pick it up and reveal the mystery.

Later, all kinds of rumors spread.

The most vicious version is that Ye Ling was pregnant, so Gu Lang abandoned her, and the heartbroken Ye Ling committed suicide by falling from the building...

Some people also said that it was because Ye Ling's alcoholic uncle didn't want to pay to support her anymore, so he pushed her down the stairs blindfolded...

Some people even said that Gu Lang was still depraved after going to other cities, and he actually started taking drugs at a young age...

……

So, just like that, she and him have left my life since then.It's like a firework, beautiful and warm, but it will end in the end.

The pictures of those three months seemed to be shattered, and it was difficult to put them together.On the scattered fragments, there are only faint shadows——Ye Ling committed suicide, Gu Lang left, Hainan Island escaped, Huba entered the labor camp, and I stayed where I was...

The two heavy rains separated the cruel past and the youth of our five teenagers.The memory is so painful, so cruel, I don't want to think about it anymore, I don't want to remember it clearly...

For a long time after she left, I always dreamed of her, dreaming that she covered her eyes with a sky blue towel, and walked forward fumblingly... In the dream, she would call my name, Tianya , the end of the world...

Is she telling me she's lost and doesn't know where to go?
Or are you telling me that she needs a hug, a little warmth?
However, when I ran towards her, there was a weird smile on the corner of her mouth, and then, the whole person jumped, like an autumn leaf, falling on the rainy street.

The blood snaked all over the ground, dyeing the youth of our children...

Later, I buried her completely in my heart.

I dare not think of the painful three months when I was 14 years old, separated by two heavy rains.

I buried my best friend deep in my heart, along with that sad day.I beg everyone passing by not to disturb this woman named Ye Ling again.

Don't bother with this past.
