Chapter 21: Parting
"Banxia, congratulations!" Lan Yan and Banxia sat on the stone bed, Lan Yan took out the things in the basket, and said, "I don't have anything to give you, so I made a tiger head hat and gave it to your child, I hope he/she will be healthy in the future." ”
Banxia took the tiger head hat and stroked the embroidery on the hat, the tiger head on it was embroidered vividly, and there were two small beads to decorate, which was very cute. "Lan Yan, you embroider so well, my child will definitely like it."
"Hmm." The corners of Lan Yan's mouth rose slightly, but there was a faint sadness in his eyes. Lan Yan looked at Banxia so happy about this child's small appearance, she couldn't help but touch her belly, there was also a child there, belonging to her and Allen's child.
At that time, she resisted Eren and spent her days thinking about escaping. On that day, she was found running away, and in desperation, she chose to jump into the sea, and she has always been able to swim since she was a child growing up on the shore. As she swam, she felt her abdomen tighten, and a wave of colic came up, and she fainted in the sea.
When she woke up, she was lying on the witch doctor's bed, and Eren didn't say a word, not even bothering to look at herself. Lan Yan thought that Alan was angry about his escape, so he was like this. As a result, Alan said angrily and sadly: "Our child is gone, are you satisfied?" With that, Alan slammed the door and left.
At that time, Alan's expression she had never seen before, full of vulnerability and pain. She looked at her stomach and muttered, "Child? "She hates Alan, but the child is innocent.
For the next few days, Alan took care of her with all her might, but still wouldn't say a word to her. Until one night, Alan said to her, "From this day on, you will not be allowed to go out of this hole without my permission." "From then on, they had a knot in their hearts, a knot that could not be removed.
Later, she was imprisoned by Allen, and she never conceived a child again, she thought maybe it was God's punishment for herself.
"Lan Yan, Lan Yan." Banxia's hand shook in front of Lan Yan's eyes, pulling Lan Yan's thoughts back.
"It's okay, I accidentally wandered just now."
"Lan Yan, have you been sleeping hard lately? Is Alan still not coming back? Banxia looked at Lan Yan's unyielding appearance and asked her worriedly.
Lan Yan shook his head, sighed, and looked into the distance, "The gap between us is too deep, and there is nothing but pain for each other. ”
Banxia didn't know what she could do for Lan Yan, so she could only accompany her silently.
"Banxia, I roasted chicken for you, you ...... quickly" Hayes walked into the cave and watched Banxia and Lanyan sitting silently on the stone bed, the atmosphere around them was full of depression.
"Hayes is back, and I'll leave first in the middle of the summer." Lan Yan stood up.
"Okay, Lan Yan, you have to pay more attention to your body." Banxia sent Lan Yan out.
"Okay, don't send it, goodbye." Lan Yan left, and Banxia looked at Lan Yan's thin back and felt desolate.
Hayes put his arm around Banxia's shoulder, "Alan has figured it out, their affair is almost over." ”
Banxia rested her head on Hayes's chest, "Well, I hope they can find happiness." Hayes squeezed Banxia's hand.
When Lan Yan returned, he was surprised to find that Alan was there, he had lost a lot of weight, and he was much more decadent. Lan Yan moved his mouth, but he couldn't say anything about the greeting on his lips.
It was Alan who spoke first, he looked into Lan Yan's eyes, and said this sentence with all his strength, "You go!" ”
Lan Yan's pupils contracted, and she looked at Alan in disbelief, wanting to see the joke on Allen's face, but there was no trace of joke, "You really let me go?" ”
Alan turned his back, "Don't make me regret it. ”
Lan Yan lost her reaction all of a sudden, and she reacted and ran towards the entrance of the cave, where she stopped again and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Alan didn't answer, but his trembling hand betrayed him, but unfortunately Lan Yan couldn't see it.
When he couldn't hear Lan Yan's footsteps, he turned his head and looked in the direction Lan Yan left, "I've asked Hayes, he will send you home safely." ”
"Yan'er, have you ever been tempted by me?" Alan smiled self-deprecatingly, and the only one who could answer him was the empty and uninhabited cave.
Lan Yan kept running forward, she hated the emotion in her heart, and it actually contained reluctance, which was obviously a mistake.
"Ahh Unable to concentrate, she tripped over small pebbles in the road, and both palms were worn out, and the stones and sand stuck to the flesh. Instead of getting up immediately, she cried on the spot. There was no sound of birds or insects, only her cry echoed between heaven and earth.
On the second day, Lan Yan's eyes were swollen from crying. She got up, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and walked to the entrance of the Banxia Cave to say her final goodbye.
Banxia saw Lan Yan's dusty appearance, and hurriedly helped her worriedly, "Lan Yan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lan Yan shook his head and said, "I'm leaving." ”
"Are you going home?"
"Uh-huh."
"You sit down first, and I'll take care of your wounds." Banxia looked at Lan Yan's injured palm and went into the room to get the herbs.
Banxia wrapped the gauze in Lan Yan's palm, "Okay, it should be fine." ”
"Banxia, thank you." Lan Yan spread his hands and hugged Banxia tightly.
Banxia was suddenly hugged by Lan Yan, with nowhere to put her hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, we are friends." ”
"By the way, wait a minute." Banxia stood up, came to his bedside, and took out a hairpin from the dressing box, on which hung a delicate butterfly, and even the lines of the wings could be seen clearly. If you look closely, there is also a small mark on the end of the hairpin.
Banxia stroked the hairpin, which used to be her favorite jewelry, but now it is gone. "Lan Yan, I don't have anything to give you, this hairpin was worn by me before, and I gave it to you."
"No, I can't."
"You can take it, and keep it for the travel expenses. Besides, you also need expenses when you go home, and this hairpin can help you instead of me, which is also its value. Banxia stuffed the hairpin into Lan Yan's hand.
"Oh well. Banxia, thank you. ”
"No, they all said that we don't need to say thank you anymore."
"Okay." They looked at each other and smiled.
Outside the hole, Hayes looked at Alan reluctantly looking at the hole, "Are you really not going to look at her again?" ”
"No, go see her again, I'm afraid I myself will be tempted to imprison her again." Alan stood on the dunes with a lost expression.
"She'll leave it to you."
"Okay, I'll go."
When Hayes returned, "Let's go." ”
Hayes walked in the front, and Banxia and Lanyan walked side by side. They walked through the woods and over the mountain stream and found a mountain path up the waterfall. A beam of light shined into their eyes, and it arrived, the prosperous world.
Banxia on the side looked at the cliff he jumped from here, and suddenly felt like a world away. Seeing this, Hayes walked to Banxia's side and put his arm around Banxia's shoulder, and Banxia returned him with a reassuring smile. The figure in the shade of the tree also quietly left.
"Lan Yan, you have to take care of yourself in the future."
"Banxia, you too, you are pregnant with a baby now, and you should pay more attention to your body."
As the farewell words were spoken, Banxia and Lan Yan's tears burst out, "Okay, don't cry, it's not like we won't see each other again." Banxia wiped away Lan Yan's tears and gave her the best hug. On the cliff, wave goodbye, and for the rest of their lives, may they be well.
