lonely city, lonely love

Quiet like a fan.

He took a sip of coffee helplessly, but did not continue to ask.

Looking at the young man in front of him, with a fair complexion, low eyebrows, and long eyelashes, like two small brushes, shaking constantly, it seems that the softest part of my heart is also shaking.Reaching over the small glass table, he touched the little milk cat in Gu Anfeng's arms, which made the little guy meow happily.

The little head was still dangling, which caused the little furry ears to tremble along with it.The bulging eyes reflect the scenery, colorful and overflowing with light.

Gu Anfeng melted the cream and put it in front of the kitten. The kitten was probably hungry, so he jumped onto the table lightly, then lowered his head and licked it. The little pink tongue stirred the milk, and the white fur Stained some, it looks silly and cute.

The two drank coffee, bid farewell to the store manager and left.

In the car, Gu Anfeng hugged the little kitten, whose huge nest was on the trunk, and was vaguely worried about whether the small living room at home could accommodate it.

After thinking about it, I got home.The little milk cat skillfully ran to its own nest, squawked a few times and got down on the ground, obediently staring at Gu Anfeng and Sheng Xilan who were busy back and forth with round eyes.So a huge and incomparably small milk cat paradise was built.

He also sorted out the garbage and was ready to throw it away.As soon as I went out, I heard the hoarse and unpleasant voice at the end of the corridor. It was especially scary in the dim corridor without lights even in daytime.It was as if something was tearing, tearing, and it was extremely sharp.

Following the sound, I saw a huge black shadow.The garbage bag in his hand slowly loosened and fell to the ground, and his footsteps approached gently, the black shadow became clearer and clearer.

"Uncle Li?" The voice was unbelievable and full of surprise.

Uncle Li was trembling all over, his face was as pale as a sheet of paper, under the dim light, he seemed to be a ghost, he had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his face was full of wrinkles, grooves, and sickness Shaking body, seems to be very cold, but the face is full of sweat.

Stretching out his hand, bone and skin, he could clearly see the aging bones below, shaking constantly, the sound seemed to come from the chest cavity, shaking, like a peeling city wall, intermittently, Cui Gula said: "Xiao Gu, where is the little meatball? "

"At my mother's place, I'll pick her up in a few days. Come and see you." Gu Anfeng replied subconsciously, probably because he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he didn't know each other for a while. The originally amiable old man became very strange. , and even some scary.

The old man shook his head slowly, his movements were strenuous, he could be panting for a long time even after swallowing, and even talking seemed to trigger pain nerves: "No, who else do I see?" The hoarse voice was filled with endless Looking sadly at Gu Anfeng, he seemed to be looking behind him through Gu Anfeng again.

That little patch of light.It was the door that was not closed and leaked out.Warm, hot, soft.The envy in his eyes was too strong, Gu Anfeng stepped forward to help the old man up, but was rejected.The old man shook his head, smiling and pushing out more wrinkles, layer upon layer, making people feel in a trance, about overnight, so old.

"Don't move, I'm fine."

"This is the corridor, you'll catch a cold." Gu Anfeng felt his throat tighten, and wanted to say something, but in the end he said something concerned dryly.

"Hehe... I'm old. I don't care anymore." Eyes staring at the distance, unfocused, full of despair for the world, life without hope, death is greater than silent mourning.

"Uncle Li, you are not in good health." Gu Anfeng squatted down, looked at Uncle Li's unfocused eyes, "Go home and lie down."

The cloudy eyes began to tremble violently, and finally the tears came out violently, boiling hot.

"This is not my home anymore... They don't want to take care of me, they don't want to!" He murmured, "They don't want to take care of me." In the end, the old man burst into tears like a child.

The vents, tears, and shrill voices, all these entangled Gu Anfeng's nerves, and in the end it was painful.Gently patted Uncle Li on the shoulder, and helped Uncle Li up.I don't know how long the old man has been here, I dare not ask, I am afraid that the old man's emotions will lose control again, but from the stiff legs that can't move, it can be seen that it has been a long time.

When I entered the house, I was greeted with a rotten smell, which is probably the smell of a home that has not been popular for a long time.Turn on the light, and what you see is a mess, like... burglary.

"They took everything away." Uncle Li said softly, his whole body was shaking with excitement, strangely like a skeleton that was constantly shaking, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of clucking in his ears.

"They said, I'm old anyway, there's no need to spend money for me."

"The children in the family still need to go to school, and there are cram schools, and a lot of money is waiting. There is no cure for my disease, so it's better to die early and get rid of it. Those who are alive will eventually live."

Sighing, lying lightly in the cold blanket, staring blankly at the ceiling, unfocused, empty: "I know, I know everything. I dragged them down... Life is not easy for anyone."

Sighing, the voice gradually dropped.Gu Anfeng couldn't understand the last sentence, but he understood the sadness inside, pinched the corner of the quilt, left quietly without saying a word.

When she got home, Sheng Xilan was sorting things out, with a thick magazine in one hand and a broom in the other.On the pretty face, some dust was stained somewhere, and there was a black streak.

"Why did it take so long to take out the trash?" He looked up at Gu Anfeng, pointed to the trash next to him, "Go and take it out." He said in a casual tone, as if the two of them had lived like this for a long time.

Could it be that one day, when I am old, I will be so lonely and helpless, in a cold bed, no one is willing to accompany me, and everyone hopes that I can die early?

"There is something on your face." Gu Anfeng pointed to his face.

Sheng Xilan touched his face, and there was a lot of black spots again. No matter how beautiful a face is, it can't stand such torture.So Gu Anfeng went up, tiptoed, and wiped.

The slender fingers and the cold fingertips gently wiped the cheeks.The two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing, snorting, puffing, and I don't know whose eyes were infected.
