I quietly watch you play

"You... call it sketching?" Jiang Xiaoqi accompanied Zhou Wei on the rocky beach of Chishui River for two hours to drink the wind, and the drawing board he set up didn't even draw a thread, it was a blank sheet of paper.

Zhou Wei sat on the protruding rock with his legs hanging down, watching the rolling river without saying a word, the forest was bleak, and there were occasional birds looking for food around.

"I always feel like I'm waiting for someone—"

Jiang Xiaoqi took off his coat for him, the sun was setting in the west, and the wind blowing from the river was a bit cold. "I'm already back, you don't have to wait any longer." He rubbed his hands to warm them up.

"Then you sit back," Zhou Wei pointed to the rock he was sitting on just now, "I'll make a portrait of you soon."

Zhou Wei changed pencils of different hardness, looked deeply at Jiang Xiaoqi one by one, it seemed that every look went straight to the bottom of his heart, both tracing and engraving.

Not very soon, at least Jiang Xiaoqi felt that his legs were numb, and Zhou Wei just took off the drawing paper and handed it to him: "Are you satisfied? Sir. Five dollars, thank you."

"Very satisfied." Jiang Xiaoqi inquired about the foreign exchange price of the day on his mobile phone, and then transferred 35.2 yuan to him according to the selling price.

Zhou Wei accepted the money happily: "I'll treat you to a drink of beer, there are some for sale at Iron Bridge, I saw it when I walked over."

"Okay," the two of them packed up their things and walked staggeringly on the cobblestones. From time to time, passers-by got out of the car to take a look. Except for those who wanted to jump into the river, they didn't stay long, so there was only one roadside stall for shopping, ranging from beer Drinks are sold to stockings and sanitary napkins.

One can of beer was 8 yuan, Zhou Wei ordered four cans, Jiang Xiaoqi added a bottle of Sprite, Zhou Wei put it back for another can, and left six yuan, Zhou Wei bought a small pack of spiced peanuts.

He asked Jiang Xiaoqi if he brought cigarettes, and Jiang Xiaoqi said he did, thus saving a lot of money.

After finishing the business, the peddler packed up his things and rode away on a battery scooter, leaving a simple booth made of broken wooden boards by the bridge. "Just here." Zhou Wei suggested.

The two washed their hands with river water, and sat side by side on the wooden plank leaning against the iron railing. The sky darkened, and the river water was shimmered by the moonlight, as if it was full of falling stars, so there were only a few flickering solitude left when looking up.

"Can you drink?" Jiang Xiaoqi asked.

"It's okay." Zhou Wei took a can and opened it. With that tone, it was hard to tell whether he was saying that it was okay for his body to drink alcohol, or that it was okay even if he drank badly.

"I'm not as squeamish as you think. The platycodon flower is planted in the greenhouse by mistake, and even if it is relocated to the wild, it will still survive instinctively. I am actually a very, very stubborn person."

Zhou Wei gave Jiang Xiaoqi a drink of beer, Jiang Xiaoqi took the whole can, raised his head and drank most of it, then poured Sprite back to him.

"I know, Bellflower, you still have a third choice. I have a glass house that can open the skylight. Close the window and you will be in a comfortable greenhouse; open the window and you will embrace nature to your heart's content. Are you tempted? Come to my house, and wherever I go in the future, I will take you there."

Zhou Wei looked at him and smiled, eyes full of stars: "I used to be very clingy?"

"Yeah, he's very attached to me." Jiang Xiaoqi lit a cigarette.

"You lied to me," Zhou Wei stood on the wooden board with a beer in his hand, facing the dark river with open arms, "If I'm particularly clingy to you and you leave me, I'll jump from here."

Jiang Xiaoqi stood up in fright, protecting him with both hands: "Xiao Wei, this is not fun, I don't like rivers, lakes and seas hunting you everywhere... Well, to be honest, I am very clingy to you, I want to build a house to lock you up go in."

Zhou Wei had already stepped down and sat back down again: "I really want to remember you, really."

Zhou Wei asks him for a cigarette and lights it up. It smells familiar. He is not sure if Jiang Xiaoqi smokes the same brand of cigarettes because he misses him. Thoughts of self-love can also make people happy for a short time.

Jiang Xiaoqi asked: "Do you still remember that you can smoke?"

"Of course," Zhou Wei's smoking posture was beautiful, a little lazy and intoxicated, "something addictive is always hard to forget."

"Just like me to you." Jiang Xiaoqi raised his hand and changed the subject, "Have you been here before?"

"Probably not, they said my mother died here, but I never believed it." Zhou Wei explained to him, "It's Wei—"

"I know that Wei Lerong is also the little princess of the Wei family. Mr. Zhou bought the Dongrong land back then to help the Jiang family, but he was struggling with the investment of a small billion, and the Wei family helped him eat it. As for The reason why the Wei family made a move is probably because their little princess has a sweetheart."

Zhou Wei looked up and took a sip of beer soda, with a strange expression: "She fell in love with a man who only had wood in his heart, and it was destined to end badly. This is a story worth learning from. Men should work hard on their careers, like my father and I are unreliable ...Hey, I still can't change it, forget it..."

"Have you ever been to Molin?" Jiang Xiaoqi clinked glasses with him, "Sketch?"

"Yeah, don't you believe it?" Zhou Wei took out the Pad from his backpack and showed him the photos. There was an entire folder that was drawn locally.

"Why do you think of going to Molin?" Jiang Xiaoqi found out that Zhou Wei went there in the summer about a year ago. Molin is a northern county, and there are not even strange scenic spots like Chishui River. I have never heard of it.

Zhou Wei squatted on the wooden board and smoked vigorously: "I forgot, maybe it's because it's cooler in summer there, or I got lost by mistake."

"This is something that happened not long before you got sick, will you forget it?"

Jiang Xiaoqi flipped through the photos, some were drawn by Zhou Wei, and some were real shots.

Very common in underdeveloped villages and towns, old and new buildings are intertwined. There is an old tree that has been photographed many times before and after Zhou Wei, but there is nothing special about it; there is also a welfare home next to the old hospital site, where a few children squat at the door to share a box Chocolate, the torn packaging is all in English.

Jiang Xiaoqi guessed that it was given to them by Zhou Wei, and he also gave it to Zhou Wei. He took it with him when he traveled far.

"Ang," Zhou Wei followed his example and tapped on his temple, "It's so self-willed, like being eaten by moths, with many, many holes, some things can't be connected, and some things just...forgot all about it."

Jiang Xiaoqi no longer looked at the photos, his eyes were like candles burning at night: "I want to make up for my share."

They drank all the wine by the river, chatting all over the place, and Zhou Wei ate up the peanuts. When he got up, he almost stepped on the board, and was hugged by Jiang Xiaoqi.

"I seem a little drunk."

"Are you drunk or can't see the road?" Jiang Xiaoqi had seen in the case that he had night blindness, one of the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, and he was aware of it when he walked at night. After dark, he only had natural light to his beautiful eyes It's just a decoration.

This needs to be combined with drugs to supplement vitamin A to slowly restore the ability of retinal rod cells to synthesize rhodopsin, so Jiang Xiaoqi got a lot of carrots to feed him as a rabbit.

"Because I'm drunk so I can't see the way." Zhou Wei was let go by Jiang Xiaoqi, and immediately reached out to pull him, "Dad, don't leave me!"

The river beach is uneven, Jiang Xiaoqi carried him on his back.

Zhou Wei lay on his back and hummed: "Dad is so kind to me, I love Dad."

"Wrong, you used to call me uncle."

"Uncle doesn't have a father, only a father is good in this world." Zhou Wei patted him back, "Drive!"

"Be honest! Otherwise, the backpack and you, you choose one and throw it away."

"You carry me, I have a backpack, and you can't throw any of them away." Zhou Wei continued to babble, talking drunkenly, "How did I forget you? It's a big loss... No, I have to think about you, I'll think about it... ...No, no, my head hurts..."

Jiang Xiaoqi turned him upside down: "Is it like in the movie, you will have a headache and collapse as soon as you recall the key plot?" Didn't Director Pei tell you that your acting skills are bad?When I didn't know that you actually hold a lot of alcohol, you definitely can't get dizzy by mixing beer with water.

Jiang Xiaoqi could roughly guess what was wrong with him, and suddenly ran out to sketch, and kept emphasizing that he couldn't remember himself.

Zhou Wei is like a sensitive little animal, and most children who lack love can innately evolve the ability to perceive words and emotions. He has noticed Jiang Xiaoqi's mood swings in the past two days, and he also moves with the wind.

He was afraid that Jiang Xiaoqi would leave suddenly again, so he pessimistically allowed this ending to happen, pretending that he didn't mind because it was expected, and he wasn't sad because he didn't remember it.

When he was really free and easy and confident, he had never deliberately acted so free and easy and confident.

"Do you want to paint the sunrise tomorrow? You can live here tonight." Jiang Xiaoqi's car was parked by the side of Linhe Road.

Zhou Wei checked the hotel with his mobile phone in his arms: "There is only a quick one, can you?"

"Guide the way." Why not, isn't he living in Danyang as well?

The best chain hotel in Orangexi County is built next to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and it is actually a Peach Hotel. Jiang Xiaoqi has seamlessly switched between the two places.

"Ask for the largest room type."

The lady at the front desk glanced at the two of them with complicated eyes: "The selected double bed room is 30 square meters, and the business room type is smaller for twin beds."

"The big one." Jiang Xiaoqi showed his ID card and swiped his card, and then led Zhou Wei into the elevator, "It's bigger than the bed at home, but the sofa only has two single people, where do you sleep?"

"I want to sleep with Dad." Zhou Wei rolled onto the big bed.

Jiang Xiaoqi picked him up: "Take a bath first, I'll order takeaway."

"I hate carrots, and the side dishes are not good." Zhou Wei protested, "It's cold, it's time to eat some stewed lamb."

"Carrot stewed mutton, satisfy you. When you turn off the light, you can pick the carrots out of the mutton, so you don't have to eat carrots."

"I eat mutton, not carrots!"

"Then turn off the light and pick the mutton out of the carrots."

Zhou Wei felt that his nightmares were full of carrots, so he couldn't sleep because of the fright, so he had to silently count the sheep, counting the sheep and jumping into the pile of carrots, and picking them out one by one...

Jiang Xiaoqi was turned dizzy by him, lay down and pressed Zhou Wei's side quilt: "I'm not here, you turned your sleep upside down again, change it back."

What are you talking about? I can't see clearly.Zhou Wei reached under the pillow to touch the headphones.

Jiang Xiaoqi moved faster, put the earphones under his pillow, and slapped his hand: "Sleep." After thinking about it, he pulled that hand over again, and wrote a few words in the palm of his hand.

Zhou Wei became very playful and wrote in his hand: Tomorrow I will take you to Dalishu Village.

Are there any pear trees in Dalishu Village?

: There should be, I may be the essence of the big pear tree, so I like to eat pears and drink pear juice.

Pear tree essence, hello.

: Broccoli flower demon, you are also welcome, can you not be taken away by the carrot spirit?

I try my best, can you pear tree spirits make a wish?

: Yes, what wish do you have?

Help me destroy all carrots.

Zhou Wei was a little confused, even the epic copy of destroying carrots couldn't scare him, but he found that Jiang Xiaoqi suddenly froze unnaturally, the outline of his head lifted from the pillow, and turned to look at the background wall in the direction of the bed.

A strip of light was embedded on the background wall to be used as a night light. Because Zhou Wei was afraid of the dark, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't turn it off, and the dim warm light diffused towards the ceiling.

Zhou Wei thought he couldn't sleep because the light was too bright: "I'm not afraid of the dark, so turn it off."

The voice from the next door, um, oh, oh, got louder, the corner of Jiang Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he grabbed Zhou Wei's handwriting: It's not a lamp, it's okay, you go to sleep.

The room type design of this kind of express hotel is a routine. The two adjacent rooms have a mirror-symmetrical structure to facilitate the sharing of a set of bathroom water supply and drainage pipes. Therefore, the wall separating their room should be the big bed in the next room.

The sound insulation is not well done, which is also a common problem of express hotels.Ah, oh, oh, it's still going on, mixed with indistinct growls and scolds, like two trapped animals fighting, no matter how much BG loves and kills each other, they can't make such a sound.

Jiang Xiaoqi felt his spine tense, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Bang, something hit the wall, making a muffled sound.Zhou Wei couldn't hear the sound, but he could feel the vibration, which was too obvious, and he also looked up at the wall.

"Is it noisy?"

Zhou Wei reached under Jiang Xiaoqi's pillow to touch the earphones, and he grabbed his hand and wrote: The water pipe is being repaired next door, it should be almost finished.

Fixing plumbing in the middle of the night?Zhou Wei lay down suspiciously, opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaoqi, looked at Jiang Xiaoqi for a while and was about to fall asleep, closed his eyes and wrote on the palm of his hand: Are you finished?

Well, go to sleep.

Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, @#￥%...

Jiang Xiaoqi opened his eyes to look at Zhou Wei, he was already asleep, his side face showed a soft luster like beeswax under the light, his eyelashes fell into a silhouette like a crow's feathers, his pink lips were slightly parted, and he was as peaceful as a baby.

It's good that you can't hear the sound.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Jiang Xiaoqi held Zhou Wei's hand, put his thumb into his palm, and Zhou Wei subconsciously held it.

The magic sound was intermittent, intermittent during wars, Jiang Xiaoqi ran to the bathroom twice, lay back on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.Change room?complaint?Or go straight to one for two?

buzz-bum-bum-bum-

Zhou Wei immediately sat up, her sleepy eyes were ignorant, she took out the buzzing mobile phone under the pillow, and squinted hard due to the light from the screen.

Jiang Xiaoqi also sat up, he was still not asleep, he checked the caller for Zhou Wei: brother Xiao Xiang.

He took out the earphones and put them on for Zhou Wei. He knew that Chen Zhanxiang was reliable and would not call at two o'clock in the morning if there was no urgent matter.

Zhou Wei picked it up with a hoarse voice: "Xiaoxiang?"

Jiang Xiaoqi went down to the ground and poured him a cup of warm water, just brought it back, saw Zhou Wei hung up the phone, jumped out of bed and began to get dressed.

"My dad is in the hospital and is in danger. I have to go back to Danyang. It's not Zhou Shuzhi..." He randomly stuffed the charger into his backpack, "Brother Seven, lend me the car."

Jiang Xiaoqi also put on his clothes, moving methodically but quickly, stuffing everything into the backpack: "I don't want to borrow it, unless I borrow it with the driver."

"Let's go," he carried Zhou Wei's bag on his back, and the two took the elevator to the first floor to check out.

The parking lot was dimly lit, Jiang Xiaoqi held Zhou Wei's waist all the way: "Don't be nervous, I'm here, get in the car and sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's almost here."

Zhou Wei put away his backpack and sat in the co-pilot, rubbing his face with his hands: "It's nothing, my relationship with him has not been cultivated to the point of great grief, it's just... a little sudden."

What did he think of? He opened WeChat and transferred 1 yuan to Xiaoxiang. Rescue needs money, which was more meaningful to him than crying.

Jiang Xiaoqi has already driven the car out, running on the highway at night will not cause traffic jams, but it is more dangerous than during the day. "what's the situation?"

"Pulmonary vascular embolism, emphysema, acute respiratory failure... the doctor verbally informed her that she was critically ill."
