They went to Li Shu's room. The frail woman had a haggard face and her hair was completely pale. Although she was not thin, she looked listless.

Dr. Zhao said that she often woke up from her sleep, dreaming that her son came back, and when she woke up, she was still alone, and she couldn't help crying.

Li Shu was eating, her dry skin was taupe, with all kinds of age spots, and it was difficult to grasp the spoon with five fingers.The nurse at the side wanted to help her, but she stubbornly pushed him away, chewing mechanically on his cheeks, and his eyes were emotionless, like an empty shell that had lost its soul.

Lu Xin watched quietly, Qi Yuan stood beside her, his expression was very indifferent, he didn't know whether to feel pity or what he deserved.

A person's life is such a process of slowly withering, whichever is faster and slower, she is luckier than Qi Yuan.Qi Yuan withered early, and he didn't have much emotion in his heart.

Lu Xin folded her five fingers together and held her hand tightly. After a while, a firm force shook her back.

-

The next time I saw Xiong Zhiyong, he was haggard beyond human form, his eye sockets were sunken, his face was bruised and purple, mottled on his gray, black and blue skin.He looked like a thin, shriveled tree that could fall if the wind blew.

Lu Xin started to play the recording for him again. This is a newly picked recording. It can be heard that Li Shu's voice is getting weaker and weaker. Black and white prison uniform.

He thought that after he was in prison, his mother would live a good life and he would not be too bad. After three years, he would go out, find some contacts, and get a new job.I didn't expect to separate the two places, which is equivalent to tormenting two people.

The prison is tough, life is chaotic and messy, other prisoners treat him as a punching bag, treat him like a human being when he is happy, and beat him when he is unhappy, because he is honest and easy to bully, and he always suffers repeatedly.Prison guards didn't like him either, and often pretended they hadn't seen him.

Thinking about how this kind of life has lasted for more than two years, he often feels that there is no end in sight.

Looking at his expression, Qi Yuan felt that even if he was a stubborn nail, it should be loosened.

Sure enough, two weeks later, Li Shu's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. She couldn't get sick, and she even forgot some of the most basic things. Thanks to the doctor's timely rescue, she was able to wake up from the hospital bed.

When Qi Yuan went to visit Xiong Zhiyong, she said, "Your mother is sick." She took a photo of Li Shu lying on the bed. The woman's eyes were closed, her hands were on her side, and the light blue striped hospital gown made her complexion more vivid. She was gray and white, and she was wearing a transparent oxygen respirator, surrounded by several doctors with solemn expressions.

Xiong Zhiyong raised his eyelids with a sad expression.

Qi Yuan added: "She has been rescued and is slowly recovering now."

Xiong Zhiyong's expression softened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Yuan: "When she recovers, I will bring her to see you."

On the day Li Shu was able to get out of the hospital bed, Qi Yuan really brought her to visit him in prison.

Xiong Zhiyong saw his mother sitting in a wheelchair, Lu Xin was pushing her behind, Qi Yuan followed, and the three walked slowly.

The woman stopped in front of the glass window, with the sickness of being in bed for a long time floating on her cheeks, and looked at him curiously.

Xiong Zhiyong watched her burst into tears, and shouted hoarsely: "Mom."

Li Shu asked, "Who are you?" She was seriously ill, and even the face of her own son whom she was thinking of was blurred.

"Mom, I'm Azhi."

"A Zhi!" Li Shu's eyes lit up, and then she puckered her mouth suspiciously, "Why does A Zhi look like you? He likes to be clean and knows how to take care of it. You are completely different from him."

Xiong Zhiyong realized that he was in a mess, quickly wiped away his tears, and wiped his face with the hem of his clothes: "Mom, it's really me!"

"You're lying." Li Shu still didn't recognize him, but turned to Qi Yuan and asked, "Didn't you say you want to bring me to meet Ah Zhi? Where is he?"

Qi Yuan leaned over and said to her, "Auntie, he is really your son."

"I don't believe it, where did you hide my son?"

Xiong Zhiyong was stunned, crying and laughing, looking very sad.

Qi Yuan patiently said to her again and again: "He is your son Xiong Zhiyong, he has changed a bit." Hearing this, Xiong Zhiyong felt even more down and out, and he had no face to meet his mother who had high hopes for him.

In Li Shu's imagination, Xiong Zhiyong was still the honest, clean, and caring son, so he still refused to believe that the bearded and emaciated man in front of him was his son.

Later, they all knew that it was useless to correct them, and even Xiong Zhiyong gave up. Li Shu treated Xiong Zhiyong as a stranger and talked endlessly about his childhood stories. The praise and expectations in his words were like an iron fist. The weight weighed heavily on the man's body.

Xiong Zhiyong listened silently, smiling from time to time, and correcting some mistakes, Li Shu said in surprise: "Only Ah Zhi and I know about this, where did you hear about it?"

15 minutes passed in a flash. Before leaving, Li Shu bid him farewell. Qi Yuan pushed her to go out. The old lady suddenly whispered to Qi Yuan: "This man is so weird, he keeps crying, don't come here again next time." See him."

-

Xiong Zhiyong: "I can testify for you and tell you who the murderer is."

Qi Yuan and Lu Xin looked at each other, and they fell silent, listening to him quietly.

Xiong Zhiyong swallowed his throat and said slowly: "I have been a truck driver for more than 20 years. When I was at work that day, I suddenly received a call."

He only has a college degree, so he can't go to a top company. Although the salary of a truck driver is not high, the advantage is stability. He can't make a lot of money, but he can barely support himself and his mother.

But because of working from five to nine, Xiong Zhiyong basically doesn't have much free time. Now he is still a bachelor at the age of 50, which makes Li Shu very anxious. She wants to arrange a blind date for him, but is worried that they are from the countryside. Daughter-in-law may not like it.

They started to save money, Zhang Luo's wife, life was ordinary, but suddenly Li Shu suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and she forgot many things, sometimes she was alone at home, and even forgot to cook.

He took his mother to the hospital. The doctor said that the disease cannot be cured, but can only be relieved by taking medicine. They will be prescribed an overseas specific medicine. The price is a little expensive, but the effect is good.

Xiong Zhiyong saw his mother's forgetfulness, so he reluctantly opened a few boxes. After a month, although the medicine relieved her illness a little, she finished it soon.

Gradually, Li Shu showed her true colors again. When she went out to buy vegetables, she almost forgot how to get home. Xiong Zhiyong was driving when he received a call from the police. superior.

Seeing his mother ignorantly following the police back home, he had no choice but to go to the hospital to open a few more boxes. The medical insurance that was not enough was spent at once, and the savings for marrying his wife gradually disappeared. Li Shu's illness is like a moth with a bottomless appetite, hollowing out the foundation of their family bit by bit.

"Old Xiong, how is your mother?" The landlord called him, "I know your family is in trouble, but... well, our family also needs to eat. I will give you a few more weeks in the end. Way too long to wait."

Rent, water and electricity bills, medicine money, food expenses... Adding up the odds and ends, his salary is not enough for a long time.

At this time, his boss brought him a "business".

"Isn't your family short of money recently?" The boss said in a mysterious tone, "I found you a big errand, which will definitely solve your urgent needs... It's just a little dangerous."

Under the recommendation of the boss, Xiong Zhiyong walked into a tea restaurant at three o'clock in the afternoon, where he met the Qi family couple.

It was also today that he witnessed the rotten secret behind the Qi family with his own eyes.

It was the first time he came to such a high-end restaurant, he just felt his feet didn't touch the ground, and he sat down on the seat in a daze. The boss beside him introduced him warmly: "This is my employee, Lao Xiong. .”

Xiong Zhiyong lowered his head, not daring to face the Qi family husband and wife in front of him. The famous brand on their bodies is enough to be worth his salary for a year.

Mother Qi looked at him with a smile: "It does look honest."

Father Qi's stern gaze fell on him: "This matter needs to be kept strictly confidential."

Xiong Zhiyong's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that this might not be a good thing.

Sure enough, the request made by the other party made him dumbfounded: "I need you to fake an accidental traffic accident."

His daughter Qi Yuan, the future heir of the company, suddenly had an accident on the way home from school one evening and turned into a vegetative state.

"Traffic accidents only need to be locked up for three years." Qi's mother fiddled with her red fingernails and said casually, "We will take care of all your consequences for you."

Xiong Zhiyong's eyes widened: "But...she is your daughter?!" This was the first time he had heard of such an appalling job.

Mother Qi smiled: "You don't have to worry about it. I will give you a check of 100 million as a deposit first, and after three years, I will give you another 500 million."

Xiong Zhiyong looked at them unacceptably: "This... isn't this illegal?!"

"It's because you broke the law that you were found." Father Qi said flatly, "We guarantee that you will not suffer any consequences of going to jail."

The husband and wife looked cold, and when they talked about this matter, it seemed that they were discussing a business matter in a routine and emotionless manner.

Xiong Zhiyong's heart was shaken, and he couldn't understand for a while: "No, this is too much..."

Mother Qi leaned back and leaned lazily on the back of the chair: "You can ask for anything, as long as it's not too much."

The boss gave him winks and smiled, "Oh, talking about his family is really miserable. He is too old to have a wife, and his mother is not in good health, and her dementia is very serious..."

Father Qi nodded: "I can transfer your mother to a nursing home with a quiet environment and good conditions, and let her be treated slowly. You don't have to worry about her after you go in."

He happened to hit on the most important thing in Xiong Zhiyong's heart—about the issue of supporting his mother. Now he really can't work and take care of Li Shu at the same time, but he has no money to send her to a nursing home.

For a moment, Xiong Zhiyong was really moved, and because of this, he scolded himself for being shameless.

As a shrewd businessman, Qi's father saw the embarrassment on his face, and smiled slightly: "How is it? Do you think that with your three-year salary, you can earn 600 million, and you can properly support the elderly?"

Xiong Zhiyong opened his mouth, feeling powerless.

The most serious disease in the world is poverty.

Waking up early and late every day to get on the highway and deliver goods is not as fast as Qi's father waving his fingers for a minute.

His living environment and imminent difficulties are preventing Xiong Zhiyong from being a good person.

What's more, she didn't kill a person, she was actually still alive... Xiong Zhiyong nodded silently while comforting her.

Mother Qi smiled triumphantly, holding the check between her fingers, and pressing it on the table.

There was silence in the tea restaurant, and the voice of talking was like mosquitoes.He looked at the long string of zeros on the check, and his brain seemed to be stuck with glue, and he was dazed.

He longs for money, and longs for a life of luxury and ease like the Qi family.

With the 100 million yuan he got, Xiong Zhiyong immediately settled the rent and medicine expenses.The next day, the Qi family sent someone on time to take his mother to the suburban nursing home.

That evening, Xiong Zhiyong started the truck and drove quietly on the road.

The setting sun was like fire, dyeing the sky a strong blood color.

He gripped the steering wheel with trembling hands.

The truck is only a few hundred meters away from Qiyuan's only road, and there are few people passing by there, so it is not easy to have other accidents.

He passed a green light and was moving slowly. At this moment, Xiong Zhiyong's cell phone rang.

He glanced at it, held the steering wheel with one hand, picked up the phone with the other, and pressed the connect button.

An unfamiliar female voice came out of the receiver and said indifferently, "You just kill her, and I will give you another 400 million."
