Raw rice boiled into small porridge

After Ye Jiawen returned to City S, he immediately took a taxi to He Tian's school. He called He Tian in the car, but no one answered. He called Xin Yue again, and Xin Yue said that he was not at school.He was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He was bored in the car and swiped Weibo.

The night was like water, and he entered the car through the slightly open window. Ye Jiawen leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly. After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, he was already very tired. Armed with anticipation, he fell asleep almost immediately.

Ye Jiawen paused, and suddenly straightened his waist from the backrest. His finger was placed on a piece of local breaking news on the screen, and his expression became serious——

#这里天天晚夜club Jumping Event# A high fall incident occurred in a luxury nightclub in the downtown area of ​​our city. A young man jumped from the fifth floor and died on the spot. The reason is unknown. Now the police have been involved in the investigation.

Paradise here?Isn't this the nightclub that He Tian mentioned before?

Ye Jiawen's heart skipped a beat, and he clicked on the picture below. The picture had been mosaiced, but the downtown area was brightly lit, as bright as day, and he could still see the shapeless human body and the surrounding large bloodstains, which almost soaked the entire picture.

Below the news, there are photos taken by passers-by, which are even more bloody and terrifying.

What was even more frightening was that Ye Jiawen actually found a suspected figure of He Tian in a certain picture, kneeling beside the corpse with a bewildered expression on his face.

Ye Jiawen's heart was beating wildly, and he loudly told the driver to change the route and go straight to the Paradise Nightclub.

When they arrived at the scene, the crowd of onlookers still did not disperse, but the body had already been moved, leaving only bloodstains and a human figure outlined by white lines on the ground.

Ye Jiawen jumped out of the car and anxiously searched and asked among the crowd.

"It's been pulled away, oh, it's too bad, it fell so badly—"

"The ambulance is here. I don't think it can be saved. Sending him to the hospital is nothing."

"Yes, it should be the emergency center. The police went there, and there seems to be a boy with them."

"Oh, let's go, go home and eat..."

Without saying a word, Ye Jiawen went straight to the city's emergency center without stopping.

The emergency center is always in turmoil. It is a battlefield full of blood and death without gunpowder smoke. Every moment, someone here changes from a living person to a stiff corpse, and there is no time for sympathy and tears.

"...Doctor, please, don't give up on him. He is still very young. Can he be rescued again? It's not like he's left alone. I'll pay for the medical expenses..." He Tian grabbed the doctor's white coat and pointed He clenched it too tightly, his nails turned blue and white, his face was covered with tears, and he didn't care about his image at all, and his voice gradually became louder, "You haven't had any surgery, why do you say it can't be saved?"

The doctor sighed and pulled the clothes out of his hands with great effort: "We did our best. The patient had no vital signs when he was sent. Sorry. I have other patients..."

He Tian had no choice but to let go of the doctor, and sat down on the bench. As soon as he calmed down, Ding Xiaoxiang would fall from the sky and hit the hard ground in front of him, and bright red blood would flow out from under him. Just like countless strange flowers, it soon filled the entire field of vision.

The strange thing is that there was no sound in that picture, not even a scream, it just played silently, stubbornly, in a loop in his mind unhurriedly, lingering.

"Student, we have to take away the body," a policeman came to him and said in a businesslike manner, "We found two pieces of paper from the deceased's clothes, one should be regarded as a report material, and he simply wrote that he was violently chased. Debt, illegal detention, as well as the name, physical characteristics and other clues of the main criminal suspect, this matter has already involved a criminal case, we will contact the mother of the deceased, follow up with an autopsy, and conduct an in-depth investigation..."

He Tian looked at the policeman, his lips trembled, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Please catch the murderer, otherwise he will die in peace."

The policeman nodded and said, "I will invite you to testify if necessary later." He took out a plastic evidence bag and waved it in front of He Tian. "The second piece of paper should be regarded as a will. He only wrote ' My things are all under the floor of my house, please hand them over to the social work center', we know you are the social worker in charge of him, but these things may be evidence, we need to check first, if there is no problem, I will notify you to come and get it. You see May I?"

He Tian looked at the blood-soaked paper in the plastic bag and the crooked handwriting on it, and nodded stiffly.

The corpse had already been packed in a sealed bag, pushed out from the ward, and passed in front of He Tian. The four wheels of the hospital bed rubbed against the tiled floor to make a clear and sharp sound. The reflex hurts the eyes.

He Tian wanted to stop them and take another look at Ding Xiaoxiang, but he didn't dare, he couldn't face him, and he couldn't face himself either. He held his palm tightly, watched the gurney go away, and murmured Repeatedly: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Ye Jiawen rushed to the hospital at this time. He walked towards He Tian quickly, but was surprised to find that He Tian stood up and ran in the opposite direction the moment he saw him.

"Tiantian—" Ye Jiawen shouted while chasing after him, and followed He Tian into the bathroom.

"Tiantian, come out, let's talk, I'm sorry, but it's not your fault..." Ye Jiawen slammed on the door of the cubicle, and He Tian locked himself inside.

He heard extremely suppressed crying from inside, and he felt his heart was broken, why did his baby have to face such a cruel thing?

"Tiantian, can you come out first? Let me see you." Ye Jiawen pulled the doorknob hard, and the door of the compartment was rattled.

"I don't want to see anyone now, can you let me be quiet for a while!" Finally, He Tian's fierce shout came from across the door.

Ye Jiawen stopped and stood silently in front of the door. After waiting for a long time, he finally calmed down and said, "Shall we go to another place to be quiet? I won't leave until you come out. If you have the heart, I'll accompany you in the toilet." You stand until dawn."

He Tian still didn't open the door. Ye Jiawen heard the voice inside gradually change from suppressed crying to low sobbing, and then there was no sound at all. Ye Jiawen was worried, but he didn't dare to provoke He Tian any more. , I could only call him softly over and over again: "Tiantian, it's me, open the door..."

Finally, when he felt that his legs were numb, his eyelids were twitching, and he was about to be unable to hold on, there was a soft sound in the cubicle, and He Tian opened the door.

Ye Jiawen shivered, hugged He Tian into his arms, and hugged him tightly, as if he had recovered a lost treasure. He eagerly kissed He Tian's hair, and wiped his face with a wet tissue , hugged him and walked out: "Follow me home first..." His voice trembled uncontrollably. Seeing He Tian's eyes were red, his hair was messy, his nose was full of tears, and his clothes were still stained with blood. The heart ached like it had been dissected out, chopped up and fed to the dogs.

Ye Jiawen half-dragged and half-carried He Tian, ​​and finally brought him home. He Tian didn't say a word along the way, letting him manipulate him like a puppet.

Ye Jiawen helped him take a bath, changed into clean clothes, pushed him to sit on the sofa, and gave him a cat.

"Are you hungry? Cook some porridge for you?" Ye Jiawen took He Tian's face and kissed it, and asked softly.

He Tian looked at him, and suddenly said softly: "I had a chance to save him. If I had found a way to help him pay back the money earlier, he would not have been entangled...but I didn't do anything..."

"Uncle Ye, I could save him later, he was there, I even sat in the cafe across the street all night, but I still didn't do anything, I just watched him die in front of me... ..."

"The doctor said that besides the high fall injury, he had many other injuries on his body. How much pain do you think it takes for a person to make up his mind to die?"

The bewilderment and remorse in He Tian's eyes pierced Ye Jiawen's heart like a needle. He was rarely at a loss for words, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Why are you..." He Tian held Ye Jiawen's hand tightly, his fingernails dug into his flesh, he bit his lower lip and swallowed the second half of the question into his stomach.

But Ye Jiawen still understood what he was going to say from his eyes, and there was clearly resentment in those tear-filled eyes.

Why are you stopping me?

Why stop me from going to him?

Now that he's dead, do you think I'm finally out of trouble?

How should I face myself, how should I face you?

Ye Jiawen let go of He Tian and stood up. He Tian's eyes pierced his body like countless icicles, chilling his heart and lungs. What's wrong with him?

From the beginning to the end, he was trying his best to protect this child, he just didn't want him to be hurt a little bit, he was capable of protecting him well, and he didn't need him to go through these dark and dirty things at all.

"You're not clear-headed now, go to sleep first, we'll talk when we wake up, okay?" Ye Jiawen wanted to hug him up, but he felt that his patience was almost exhausted.

But He Tian grabbed his hand and coldly refused: "I can't close my eyes at all, there is blood all over my eyes."

Ye Jiawen looked at him condescendingly, and said word by word without refutation: "He Tian, ​​Ding Xiaoxiang died. It is indeed a tragedy, but it is not your fault. He went to take drugs, and no one held his head down. His mother was addicted to gambling and borrowing money from usury, so she was doing it herself. Even if it was true as you said, he was detained and controlled, and he had a chance to escape. When you persuaded him in the methadone clinic, he listened. He can’t get rid of drugs himself, that’s the problem, it’s a relief that he’s dead, and you’ve been an anti-drug social worker for so long, don’t you know that heroin addiction is almost impossible to get rid of?”

He Tian looked at him blankly.

"Tiantian, why don't you think about it, are you guilty of Ding Xiaoxiang's death or are you unwilling to accept your failure?"

"I know how desperate it is to try your best to do something and end up with nothing. But you have to understand that true bravery is not based on high-spirited blood and fearless innocence, shouting and killing all the way to the light, but It’s the step you still love after seeing the truth of life clearly, it’s the step you take when you know that there may be thorny forests and abysses ahead.”

Ye Jiawen bowed his head and kissed He Tian's hair again, then bent down and picked him up.
