For several years, I have been accustomed to coming to clean up on this day of my death. She was about to clean up Shan Xiaoou's tombstone, but suddenly she found that it seemed that someone had already taken care of it, and there was something in front of the tombstone at some point. I could tell at a glance that this must not be left by Mr. Shan.

In the first day of the year, it was a handful of fresh white lilies blooming. In the wind and rain, two white candles that had been burned halfway out stood side by side in front of the tombstone. At the bottom of the candle, there was a corner of the paper that had not been completely burned.

The paper did not look like the normal paper money, and it looked like something was written. Ji Xinyao's eyes darkened, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the corner of the paper. Because the paper was not burned, it was only two or three centimeters in size. Because it was rained, it stuck to the table in front of the tombstone. There were some vague words on it. It could only be seen that the paper was originally full of words, like a letter, and the only one or two words could still be seen clearly.

But these two words are quite complicated and wet by rain, which is very blurry and can't see clearly what the words are. But only women can use such words, like this letter paper similar to the sacrificial text.

There are also these lily and these two carefully lit white candles.

She and Xiu Li have been here for so many years for her mother's cemetery. Ji Qiuhang only came to clean the cemetery twice more than ten years ago, and never came again because he despised the place too remote, and even more because He Manni was unhappy that he came to visit Shan Xiaoou's grave.

Therefore, although she and Xiu Li come every year, they deliberately avoid the early morning to avoid seeing people they don’t want to see, but in fact they all know in their hearts that Ji Qiuhang will not come, and he must have never been here in these years.

So Ji Xinyao was a little surprised when he saw someone standing here, and he was a little moved. However, as a person, Old Dan would never give her such a bouquet of such a caring lilies. She had seen Old Dan's word. Old Dan's word was a very neat and continuous word that was popular twenty years ago, exuding a soldier's temperament. This candle and the words at the corner of the paper were even more impossible for Old Dan to do.

This would not be left by Xiuli, because Xiuli's words are not like this.

In other words, in addition to these people she could think of, there were others who had come and were a woman.

Ji Xinyao held the corner of paper in her hand, looked down at the candles and lilies on the ground, stood up slowly, and looked around. There was no one in the cemetery on weekdays, but coincidentally, in front of a tombstone in the distance, there was a man in black dress, sitting in a wheelchair with an umbrella, with her back facing her, as if he was remembering something in front of the tombstone.

I haven't noticed that there are other people in front of the other tombstones in the cemetery just now. Xin Yao looked out again and thought, that person is probably gone, right?

She sighed, lowered her head, and was about to squat down again, but she suddenly paused, staring at the two wheelchairs on the ground as they passed by.

Because this cemetery is neat, but not luxurious, the ground before the tombstone is full of ordinary yellow mud floors, and the rain is not heavy. As long as people who have walked through within two hours or traces of other things passing by, they will leave some.

Maybe Mr. Dan wouldn't notice these traces, but Xin Yao suddenly squinted her eyes and stared at the traces of the wheelchair under her feet. The wheelchair seemed to be staying here for a long time, and the traces were deeper than those next to her.

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the black figure who was still in the distance, with her back facing her, her heart trembled for no reason, and her heart suddenly hangs in her throat.

She put the corner of the paper in her hand on the palm of her hand, held an umbrella, and walked towards the person step by step. Every step she took, she seemed to feel something getting closer and closer to her, and something was coming out of the cocoon and coming towards her.

Until she approached, the figure sitting in a wheelchair holding a black umbrella seemed to have not heard the footsteps behind her and the sounds when she stopped, and she still sat there motionlessly without looking back.

Ji Xinyao stared at the figure covered by an umbrella in front of her, but she could still see that the man was thin. The half of his arms exposed under the black clothes were much whiter than ordinary men and women. It was an unhealthy white, but she looked very familiar with this whiteness. She looked at the wheelchair under the man...

Ji Xinyao took a deep breath and walked around the person step by step. It was not until she saw the person's face that she seemed to have something instantly gotten into her heart.

"Shi...Auntie..." Ji Xinyao looked at the woman sitting in a wheelchair incredibly.

Shi Fang slowly raised her head, her eyes no longer as dull as before, but stared at her for a long time before sighing: "You discovered it after all."

Xin Yao was a little confused. She turned around and looked at the tombstone on Shan Xiaoou, and then looked at the tombstone in front of Shi Fang. She had never heard of the name engraved on the tombstone, but Shi Fang must have been sitting here for a long time. She couldn't help staring at Shi Fang's look that was no different from a normal person: "You...?"

Shi Fang looked at her: "I'm surprised?"

"No." Xin Yao shook her head: "As early in the United States, I vaguely guessed that you were pretending to be crazy, but I couldn't find any evidence, but you had never hurt me. I always believed that you must remember something, so I insisted on taking you back to China. But I didn't expect... Aunt Shi, you actually came here?"

"Today is her death day. Since I was taken back to the country by your child, how could I not find a way to escape the sight of those in the nursing home and come to accompany her?"

Shi Fang did not mention Shan Xiaoou's name, but just said "her", but Xin Yao could understand what she meant.

"I just didn't expect that I could see her when I came back in the 21st year after her death, and wrote a tribute to her. I was burning and talking to her at the same time, and I saw people who shouldn't have appeared here."

When talking about the person who shouldn't have appeared, Shi Fang's eyes were slightly cold and there was a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Although Xin Yao had vaguely guessed that Shi Fang in front of her suddenly became so normal, she was still a little shocked when facing this fact, especially when she saw the faint coldness and sarcastic smile in Shi Fang's eyes, she kept looking at her in disbelief.

"Are you talking about Shan Heping?" Xin Yao asked softly.

Shi Fang paused and suddenly looked at her deeply: "You child, you are more calm than I thought."

Ji Xinyao was silent and looked up at the cemetery where she could not see Gu Nanxi and Old Shan.

"Aunt Shi has been in the United States for so long, so he should be considered imprisoned? You can't escape in the United States over the years. After returning to China, Nancy and I just wanted those people to take good care of you and not let you run around, but there was no one to monitor you, so you still had some freedom."

Xin Yao said softly.

Shi Fang smiled. She sat quietly in the wheelchair, tilted her head to look at Xin Yao, and seemed to look at Ji Xinyao in front of her. After a long time, she said, "Yaoyao, Shan Heping wants to recognize you?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Fang was even clear about her relationship with Mr. Dan. Xin Yao was secretly shocked and always felt a little incredible. Shi Fang had a trick when she was pretending to be crazy. Now she is so normal and calm, but she looks so smart, as if everything is under her control.

Xin Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, but said nothing, just pursed her lips, and then changed the topic: "Auntie Shi is here to wait for me? Or just want to accompany my mother?"

When she said the word "Mom", somehow, Shi Fang's eyes seemed to move slightly. When Xin Yao looked at her again, Shi Fang had a smile on her face.

"I'll see her. If I wait for you and want you to know this so early, I don't need to travel to the dirty city of Y City..." Shi Fang's voice was faint: "You kid always took the time to see me. If I want you to know, why wait until now."

"Aunt Shi, now I know, aren't you afraid that I will tell you?"

"Speak out?" Shi Fang sneered: "Who can you say to your husband Gu Nanxi? Or who do you mean to me? Say I'm not crazy? Let them continue to lock me up to the United States, are you really driven crazy?"

"They?" Xin Yao, with the instinctive keenness of media workers and the habit of grasping the key points, immediately narrowed her eyes and carefully observed Shi Fang's expression.

But Shi Fang looked at her with a smile: "Yaoyao, are you observing me? What do you want to see in me?"

Ji Xinyao pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "I think, know what you are thinking about now, or what do you want to do now?"

"It's not just right? You girl, you look simple, but in fact you've been a little sure of it. If you don't have complete preparations, you can't say such things at this moment." Shi Fang raised her umbrella and looked at Ji Xinyao's calm face seriously: "You want to know from me what happened more than 20 years ago? You want to know the reason why she jumped off the building and committed suicide. You want to know why Ji Qiuhang was betrayed your mother because of it. You want to know if I came back to take revenge!"

Ji Xinyao was still calm, but she smiled calmly: "Auntie Shi, it's really bad to be seen through at first glance."

"I can't see through you, who else can see through you? You are my body..." Shi Fang said with a smile, but just said halfway through his words. When Ji Xinyao frowned in confusion, he suddenly stopped talking, and hesitated to look at Ji Xinyao's face.

Xin Yao didn't understand what Shi Fang meant, and she seemed to not want to say it after only half of her words. She observed her for a while before saying: "Auntie Shi, everyone said that good sisters have been together for a long time, and they all have sisters, but they look like many similarities. You look very similar to my mother in my photo, and it seems... to be a bit like me..."

Although Shi Fang is old and thin, she is a little skinny and has a little discolored, she can still see some similarities.13acv.

Shi Fang didn't say anything. Somehow, she seemed very unhappy, and a little unhappy. She turned her head and looked coldly at everything around the cemetery, and said coldly: "Ji Qiuhang only buried her in such a place? Have he ever seen her over the years?"

Xin Yao hesitated for a moment: "I have only been here once or twice a dozen years ago, and I have never been there again."

"I have only been here once or twice in more than twenty years?" Shi Fang's expression became colder.

Seeing that she was so upset about her mother, Xin Yao felt too suspicious about Aunt Shi, but she was still moved by their deep sisterly love, so she said sincerely: "What's the use of calculating these things now? My mother should have given up on Ji Qiuhang long ago, right? Since she was so desperate because of him that she committed suicide, why bother to care about whether he had been here in the past years?"

When Shi Fang heard this, she turned to look at her: "You girl are open-minded about feelings. She just doesn't know if you can still be so open-minded if you really encounter something that is difficult to open or powerless to do."

"Does Aunt Shi have something to say?" Ji Xinyao stared at her.

Shi Fang frowned: "If you don't want your mother who knows you to be disappointed by you, Yaoyao, leave the Gu family."

Ji Xinyao's face froze slightly with a smile, and her gaze dropped a little. She looked cautiously at the woman who seemed to be kindly advising her: "What?"

Shi Fang raised her eyes: "Do you really want to know the grudges from more than 20 years ago? If you know, I can tell you clearly that you will feel ashamed and disgusted for being pregnant with the Gu family and marrying into the Gu family!"

Xin Yao's face gradually turned white, and she took a step back. She suddenly saw Mr. Shan outside who seemed to be planning to walk inside. She paused, and did not ask Shi Fang what he said, but just whispered: "Sorry, today is my mother's death day. I will accompany her first. Aunt Shi, be careful when you return to City G, I will lose my company first."

After saying that, she no longer waited for Shi Fang to say anything about the Gu family, and hurriedly walked towards the door of the cemetery.

When Gu Nanxi and Mr. Shan walked in, because Xin Yao was a little anxious, she also walked to the door of the cemetery when they walked in. However, because the yellow mud land was stuck and difficult to walk after the rain, she staggered and fell forward.

Gu Nanxi held her in a timely manner: "Be careful."

After he even supported Xin Yao, he pushed her into his arms and said warmly: "Why are you going so fast? Have you sprained your foot again?"

Xin Yao shook her head gently: "No, I'm fine, Nancy, let's go."

If they go in at the same time, they will probably notice Shi Fang who has been sitting quietly in front of the tombstone in the corner soon.

Xin Yao was scared for no reason and suddenly she just wanted to stay away from Shi Fang.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Gu Nanxi hugged her, touched her hand, and immediately held it in her hand, looking at her with concern: "Did you not have an umbrella well just now and it's raining? Don't catch a cold, come on, put this on first."

As he said that, Gu Nanxi took off his coat and covered Xin Yao's back without saying anything. He then stroked her face with warm palms: "Is he really caught a cold?"

"No." Xin Yao still wanted to leave: "It's getting late, let's leave here."

"This child's face is not very good. It's probably because the wind is blowing. You two have arrived early in the morning. Did you come here by taxi? I ​​heard that it's difficult to get a taxi nearby. Get on my car." Old Dan said aside, then turned around and walked towards a military green jeep over there.

Originally, Xin Yao was still hesitating, but Gu Nanxi approached her ear and whispered slowly: "It's really not easy to take a taxi here. You and the children are the main ones. Don't be angry at this time. Get in the car first, huh?"

Xin Yao nodded and saw that Gu Nanxi took off his coat and put it on her. He only had a shirt on him, and he couldn't bear to catch a cold, so he obediently went to Mr. Dan's car with him. When he got in the car, he noticed that there was a driver in front of the car.

"Go to the hotel and let this girl change into dry clothes first." Old Dan said to the driver, then sat in front, looked back at Xin Yao, who was lowering her head and holding her hands together. Seeing Gu Nanxi holding her hand and gathering her clothes tightly, she smiled and said, "Is it considered another step to get in the car?"

Ji Xinyao looked up and looked at Old Dan: "We got off the bus when we arrived in the city."

When Mr. Dan immediately narrowed his eyes unhappily, Gu Nanxi hugged Xin Yao, who was trembling, and said calmly: "It's good to go to the city. I'll take her to the hospital first. If you really catch a cold, you'll be able to control it before you catch a cold or a fever."

Old Shan frowned: "You girl is so stubborn? Even if I plan to take you back to the Ji family and let the Ji family see clearly that you, Ji Xinyao, are my granddaughter of Shan Heping, don't you plan to go?"
