Rebirth: Truth Does Not Dig Coal

76

Xu Hao went to the balcony of Matthew's house and called Yan Ze.

It didn't take long for the other side to pick up, and Yan Ze's voice sounded quite sober.

They didn't talk about birthdays and islands on the phone, but simply said hello. Xu Hao talked about the trivial things that happened on the way to England, talking like they sometimes sit at home for dinner.Finally Xu Hao said, "I'll book a ticket later, if you're okay, pick me up at the airport."

Yan Ze said, no problem.

Then the two said good night to each other, and the tone could not hear any special meaning.Xu Hao hung up the phone.

Saying goodbye to Matthew and Andrea came three days after receiving the gift.Lego is inconvenient to carry, so Xu Hao found an international logistics company in advance to mail it back.On the day of returning home, London was rainy and rainy. Affected by the weather, the plane took off five hours late.

When Xu Hao boarded the plane, it was pitch black outside the visor, only the runway lights could be seen flashing.Afterwards, the roar of the plane and the pushing force occurred almost simultaneously, and Xu Hao was in a trance for a moment.

Xu Hao inexplicably remembered the day he left for Philadelphia.

Generally speaking, Xu Hao seldom pays attention to the details of the thrust force when the plane takes off, but everything that happened that day is unforgettable.

At that time, not long after he had fought at the school gate, the scratch on his leg had not fully healed.The departure flight was in the morning, and the back push force of the plane entering the runway was very strong.When the cabin pierced through the clouds, Xu Hao saw the golden light wheel of the sun, just like the unknown future he was about to face, and it was the first corner of a qualitative change in his life.

Perhaps, life is made up of several huge corners.

The plane enters the stratosphere and the lights dim.

Xu Hao put on the blindfold and thought slowly before falling into a coma.

The first corner in life was when Xu Hao opened his eyes when he was 16 years old.He doesn't carry many useful memories, but the person has changed.The second corner is that when he went abroad that year, Xu Hao completely broke away from the track of his previous life, met a group of different people, and had a career that he could fight for his whole life.The third corner is deciding to be with Yan Ze.love.Feelings that are difficult to define in words.As Xu Hao and Shao Lao said, the relationship between him and Yan Ze is based on equality and mutual respect, but it is more than that.Xu Hao couldn't tell.

Xu Hao rubbed a small gadget in his pocket with his hand.The key ring of a gray-blue baby duck is very round and of good workmanship, tightly wound with thread. Xu Hao happened to see it in a handicraft shop in London and bought it for ten pounds.This doll reminds Xu Hao, who is far away in a foreign land, of Yan Ze.

In recent days, Xu Hao sometimes thinks back to his life in France with Yan Ze.When he woke up, he saw Yan Ze smoking a cigarette on the large balcony extending from the bedroom, his limbs were lazy, decadent and unrestrained.Or on a sunny afternoon, Xu Hao climbed up to the roof and found Yan Ze standing on the other side of the roof.Yan Ze supported the high railing surrounded by flowers with both hands, and looked towards a certain place.He has been looking at a certain place for a long time, until the tip of his hair is soaked in the sun into a golden light, and he can't even notice that Xu Hao is approaching.At that time, Xu Hao followed Yan Ze's line of sight to look into the distance, and saw the mountains and fields, with red and white flowers in full bloom just like those in Monet's paintings; he saw a pond in the distance, with four or five fluffy squirrels in the sparkling spring water. Faded wild ducklings are swimming desperately.

At a certain moment in this messy memory, Xu Hao felt that maybe their relationship was more than equality, more than respect, and more than that.

The plane arrived in S city at 6:30 p.m. Beijing time.

Xu Hao dragged his luggage and walked towards the exit of the international flight. Looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling glass window, the sun was just beginning to set. The view was excellent, and the sky was full of bright orange fire clouds.Pickup signs in various languages ​​blocked the road, Xu Hao passed through the crowd sideways, and was about to call Yan Ze when he saw him.

Yan Ze is dressed in a trendy casual outfit today, with his hands in his pockets, his chin slightly raised, his expression rebellious and flamboyant.He stared at Xu Hao intently, as if he had been waiting for Xu Hao to find him, until Xu Hao found him, Yan Ze began to smile.

Xu Hao walked up to Yan Ze, pulled out the gray-blue duck cub from his pocket, and said to Yan Ze, "For you."

Yan Ze picked it up with one hand, the duck cub was round in shape, with two bead eyes embedded in its face, staring at him vigorously.Yan Ze couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

Xu Hao walked towards the parking lot, "Little gift."

Yan Ze was playing with the baby duck in his hand as he walked, probably because he had never received such a gift before, and thought it was rare and cute.When picking up the car, Yan Ze wrapped the key chain around and hung it on the rearview mirror, saying that he would find a special place to keep it when he got home.Xu Hao laughed at his childishness.

The way home was during the evening rush hour, and the weather was unbearably hot. Xu Hao suggested to go home after eating outside, but Yan Ze said it didn't matter.Yanze Apartment is located in the most prime location in S City, surrounded by several large commercial districts.Xu Hao randomly found a Teppanyaki restaurant on his mobile phone.When the two arrived nearby, Xu Hao felt thirsty and wanted to get out of the car to buy water at a convenience store, but Yan Ze put Xu Hao on the side of the road first.The parking space at the eating place was full, so Yan Ze had to find a place to park.

As soon as he opened the door, there was a sticky burning sensation in the air. Xu Hao bought a bottle of ice mineral water, and he drank most of it in one go before he felt a little refreshed.

In the south in August, it gets dark very late, and the sky has not completely darkened yet.Yan Ze was swallowed by the traffic at the corner.Standing by the side of the road, Xu Hao looked at the purple-black afterglow in the sky, and suddenly felt a faint touch.

People sometimes have such an illusion, Xu Hao felt that this night seemed familiar.

He once met Lin Xiao in such a sky. Lin Xiao walked past Xu Hao, who was completely unfamiliar, wearing a school uniform, as if some kind of fate that could not be escaped.

destiny.Xu Hao thought endlessly, there are indeed many coincidences in life that cannot be avoided by manpower.Xu Hao ran into Lin Xiao without warning, and met Yan Ze after five years of absence.It is hard to say that this coincidence is not fate.

I will go to City B to meet Mr. Shao next week.What will Old Shao talk about with Xu Hao?Will this become the fourth corner in Xu Hao's life?Xu Hao had no way of knowing.

Xu Hao waited for the green light at the intersection, and the outdoor temperature was stifling.He took out his mobile phone, intending to send a message to Yan Ze, and typed: Hot, waiting for you in the store.

At this time, the traffic light poles sounded hurriedly.It's a green light.

Xu Hao walked forward with the sparse crowd and sent a message. Before closing the phone, Xu Hao accidentally saw the time on the phone.

19 points.

Strangely, this time also made Xu Hao feel familiar.

Xu Hao raised his head and walked in the middle of the intersection. The green light on the opposite side jumped steadily, and the flow of people was sparse and mediocre.

Everything looks normal.

The mobile phone message shows that the sending is successful.

Xu Hao continued to walk forward, clutching the remaining half of the mineral water bottle in his hand, suddenly thinking for no reason.

What's the date today?

Immediately afterwards, Xu Hao heard the huge roar of the sports car engine on the right.

Xu Hao looked to the right subconsciously, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his body instantly entered a state of extreme alert.

Xu Hao first saw the dazzling high beams.A gray sports car rushed through the intersection like crazy, and the moment the headlights projected into the eyes, it was impossible to see the road clearly.A woman in front of Xu Hao's left was knocked into the air almost before she could scream, and Xu Hao, relying on his keen body reflexes, barely moved his body a little in the traffic accident that occurred in less than three seconds.

Then, Xu Hao's body was sent flying by the huge force, and when he landed, Xu Hao supported himself to protect his head.

The crowd screamed frantically, Xu Hao was the second to be hit, and there were more injured people behind him.After the sports car broke through the roadblock, it finally stopped. The cockpit and the co-pilot stumbled out of two young people, a man and a woman.The woman panicked, while the man kicked the smashed car hard. He yelled at the car and the sky, yelled at the onlookers and the screaming crowd, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call in a daze.

They were very young, maybe under 20, smelled of alcohol, couldn't walk in a straight line.The perpetrator did not call the police or find an ambulance on the first call. The man took two steps and sat crookedly on the road.The young perpetrator said to the phone, "Uncle Zhang, something happened, I bumped into someone...I didn't run away, I drank, find someone to catch me, hurry up..."

Xu Hao fell on the ground, unable to discern what the man said behind him.Xu Hao wanted to sit up, but his hands were weak and he could only maintain consciousness.Blood froth began to rise from the nasal cavity and mouth one after another, Xu Hao's eyes turned black, and his whole body was in torn pain, as if he could cough up the scum in his lungs at any time.

But no matter what the injury is right now, the awareness of self-help is still there.

Xu Hao opened the phone with difficulty, and with a trembling left hand, dialed the recent phone records.

The phone connects.Yan Ze's voice was as usual, "Xu Hao?"

Xu Hao was stunned for a moment.

Deja vu, even the tone is familiar.

Xu Hao suddenly felt absurd, the absurdity that cannot be violated by manpower in life.

Xu Hao recognized the voice.He realized what date it was, August 2017, 8, the fifth day after his 23th birthday.

Since he opened his eyes at the age of 16, he has been strict with himself, worked hard to make progress, and constantly built a sense of security in his consciousness.But he hadn't really thought about what the enemy he needed to fight in life was.It's not the financial tsunami, it's not Shao Fuyuan, it's not capital, it's fate.

fate.

Yan Ze on the other end of the phone continued to say to him, "I just walked in, and I didn't see which table you were sitting at. There seems to be a car accident on the street. Let's go home when the road conditions are better."

Xu Hao spat out the blood in his mouth, he maintained his consciousness firmly, had difficulty breathing, and read a word into the phone with broken syllables, "... come."

Probably Xu Hao's voice was too abnormal, the footsteps on the other side stopped, and then a door was knocked open.

The person on the other side of the phone suddenly started running, running very fast, with the sound of wind pouring in.Yan Ze didn't hang up Xu Hao's phone, but dialed another portable phone.Because he didn't know exactly what happened, Yan Ze's voice was quite restrained. He reported the address, speaking very fast, and vaguely heard the violent breathing that was almost audible while running.

The tacit understanding is very strange, without using too many words, it is enough to let the other party know that his situation is not good.

A large amount of blood gushes out from the nose and mouth.Xu Hao gradually became unable to hear the surrounding voices clearly.In fact, Xu Hao didn't want Yan Ze to see him like this.Embarrassed and weak, I got out of the car in 5 minutes to buy a bottle of water, and I was drunk and driven like this.

Xu Hao has lived very hard these ten years.The chance of life is hard to come by, Xu Hao is reluctant to waste time, he keeps moving forward, moving forward.But regret cannot be avoided.

If, if this moment is really an unstoppable destiny.

Xu Hao hoped that Yan Ze would be here again.

Standing in front of him and holding his hand, that spark could take him away from death for at least a second.

Not long after, there was a hole in the wall of onlookers, and someone frantically tore open the gap in the crowd, and then paused for a second at the forefront of the crowd.

Someone approached, his footsteps were stumbled, and he was not very calm.

Someone knelt down next to Xu Hao almost unsupported.

The noise of electric current in the ears swelled, deafening, buzzing from far to near.Yan Ze touched Xu Hao's back unacceptably, and then he lifted it up feeling the same pain.He looked around angrily, in extreme pain, and desperately suppressed his breath, as if he wanted to shout something hysterically, but he couldn't utter any syllables, and finally only held Xu Hao's hand that was next to the phone.

He held it tightly, as if he wanted to crush Xu Hao's hand bones.

His forehead was pressed against the back of Xu Hao's hand, feeling a little heat from the back of his hand, his body convulsed slightly like drowning.Yan Ze felt that the road was undulating like waves, as if the world had fallen into an incomprehensible twilight.

It's just 5 minutes to eat and stop.

He felt angry, unprecedented anger, pain, uncontrollable pain, and all the blood in his body boiled like boiling water. He had a grim expression, breathing with difficulty, and only stared at Xu Hao's intact hand.He felt that pool of blood would drive him mad.

One day, the sun fell into the sea, and everything fell into night.

Another day, he woke up from his dream and offered to exchange the sun for a star.

The unique star, that is his star.

With a sense of suffocation looming in front of him, Yan Ze swallowed in pain, when more people rushed in.

They carefully carried Xu Hao's body to the push bed, quickly started first aid measures, put on a ventilator, and someone lifted Xu Hao's eyelids.

Xu Hao's body shook slightly with the car.

He didn't know the surrounding situation, only felt the familiar breath from the intertwined fingers.The hand that held him never let go.

Xu Hao suddenly seemed to have strength.He was on the verge of collapsing, trying to say something, his lips moved slightly in the breathing mask.

The grip strength suddenly increased where the hands touched, and the surrounding voices were noisy and chaotic, like the snowflake noise of the radio station.There was something stuck to the back of his hand, and there was water, scalding water.

Xu Hao saw the wine estate in a trance.

A large balcony filled with flowers.

Grandma made the tip.

Coastal coils into glass balls.

The sun's golden halo.

Xu Hao wanted to say, don't take it seriously, there is a fire burning.

And their relationship is more than equality, more than respect, more than understanding.

The lips moved slightly, four words, "... more than that."

No matter whether fate is inviolable or not.

Xu Hao held on to his last meager consciousness and thought.

He will fight to the end.

At the end of the memory, the electronic watch jumped to 19:58.
