The Heart of a Smith

The sky was as dark as ink, and the pressure was low.It will be New Year's Eve soon, and all the migrant workers have returned home. The streets are getting deserted. It snowed heavily a few days ago, and there are still scenes of snowmen left by children in the corner.

Li Sui took the suitcase out of the car, stood on the side of the street, and vaguely recalled that at this time the year before last, it was also such a cold night when Lu Shang drove his car and took him all over the street to find mobile phone shops.Obviously at that time, they were still very harmonious, but now two years later, the relationship between the two of them has been made into this appearance by his own hands.

Uncle Yuan got off the car and handed him his passport and air ticket: "Let's go like this? Why don't you tell him?"

Li Sui showed a shallow wry smile: "He probably won't want to see me, he's not in good health, I don't want to make him angry anymore."

Uncle Yuan didn't know what to persuade, he just said: "I arranged for someone to pick up the plane over there, if you have any questions after passing, please call me."

"Thank you Uncle Yuan." Li Sui said.

As if he knew what Li Sui wanted to say, Uncle Yuan said again: "If you want to know about his recent situation, you can also call me, but don't do it too often."

Li Sui cast a grateful gaze at him, nodded, took his things and went up the escalator.

As the escalator went up, the familiar street gradually disappeared from sight. Li Sui looked back and suddenly felt a strong reluctance. He always felt that if he really took this step, he would never see him again in his life. Land merchants.

Lu Shang woke up in the middle of the night, but there was still no one around him. There was a faint light in the ward, and he could vaguely see that it was snowing heavily outside the window.

Being used to always having a little wolf dog by his side, lying alone in the ward, Lu Shang was very uncomfortable for a while.Li Sui didn't know where he went. According to his past habits, he shouldn't go too far. It's rare for him to wake up and not see anyone for so long.

His chest was fixed on the bed, and his range of motion was limited. Lu Shang stretched out his hand and struggled to reach the mobile phone next to him. At this moment, Uncle Yuan knocked on the door and came in.

"Why are you?" Lu Shang subconsciously said, and then realized, "What's the matter?"

"I sent you away." Uncle Yuan said concisely.

Lu Shang was slightly taken aback, and it took a long time before he said, "Oh..."

"...It's fine to leave." Lu Shang lay back down, his eyes darkened.

It was indeed his arrangement at the beginning to let Li Sui leave, but when he learned from Uncle Yuan that Li Sui had really left, he felt that the heart that had just undergone surgery seemed to leak another big hole, and it was suddenly empty.

Perhaps it is because as we grow older, it is always difficult for people to have strong likes or strong dislikes when they become adults. Sometimes they express love in one second, but it seems that they can be completely discarded in the next second, as if all love and hate They are all illusions, they are just calm bystanders.However, all of this is actually just because you haven't met someone who catches your eye. One day you will know that everything you thought was calm and open-minded before can be subverted.

The heavy snow continued to fall all day without any sign of stopping. Lu Shang's postoperative reaction was very serious, and he was groggy.Liang Zirui saw that going on like this was not an option, so he forced him to wake up and talked for a while, but Lu Shang not only didn't appreciate it, but also vomited all over him.

In the afternoon of the next day, Uncle Yuan came over in a hurry, saw that Lu Shang was resting, and it was hard to wake him up, he was in trouble, Lu Shang seemed to have a sense, and suddenly opened his eyes: "What's the matter? "

"The person who picked up the plane contacted me and said that no one was picked up. I went to check the passenger information and found that...he didn't get on the plane at all."

Lu Shang pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you make a call?"

"It's turned off, and I haven't returned home, should we send someone to look for it?"

Lu Shang lowered his eyes. Li Sui definitely didn't want to leave and was afraid of being chased away by him, so he had to hide. This child is not a person without restraint, so he should not run out of the Lu family's territory.

"Let Ah Zuo look for it, and call me if you find it."

Uncle Yuan went to do it immediately. Unexpectedly, just after he finished his explanation, Zuo Chao was taken aback on the phone: "Xiao Lizi? He was still with me just now, just 10 minutes ago."

Lu Shang heard this, frowned, and answered the phone: "What does he want from you?"

"Didn't you arrange it? He came to ask for Li Yan's address and said he had something to ask him." After speaking, Zuo Chao also noticed something strange, "Wait, didn't you ask him to ask?"

Lu Shang sighed and hung up the phone directly.

"What did he go to Li Yan for?" Uncle Yuan wondered.

What else to do, of course, is to trouble Li Yan, Lu Shang thought with mixed feelings, this kid is not old, but he is quite courageous, Li Sui probably wants to solve Li Yan's troubles for him.But it is impossible for Lu Shang to let him do such things as killing and stealing goods, this is not what he wants to see, and besides, it is Liu Xingtian's territory, no matter how good Li Sui is, it is impossible for him to beat someone with a real knife and gun .

Thinking about it, Lu Shang sent Zuo Chao back to the past: "Do people in Liu Xingtian know?"

"I probably don't know yet. He doesn't like Li Yan either. He only provided him with a place to stay and sent him a few bodyguards. He didn't care about anything else. Xiao Lizi didn't drive. He probably took a taxi. I'm chasing him now, so I should pay him back." I can catch up. The only problem is that if I just lead people over like this, I'm afraid I will inevitably have a confrontation with Liu Xingtian's people."

Lu Shang rubbed his temples. He hadn't recovered yet, and he became dizzy after thinking about things too much. He picked up the oxygen tube on the side and took two deep breaths before he recovered.Uncle Yuan helped him put a pillow behind him, Lu Shang leaned forward, thought for a while, looked through the phone, found a number he had almost never called, hesitated, and dialed it.

"Mr. Liu, how about we make a deal?" Lu Shang didn't say much, and went straight to the point, "Didn't you always want the management right of the gateway trade zone?"

Hearing this, Uncle Yuan was stunned.

Sure enough, the other side hesitated.

"What do you want?" Liu Xingtian asked.

"Li Yan."

The snow was still falling outside the window, and he looked confused from the window. Lu Shang hung up the phone and stared at the phone: "Today's New Year's Eve?"

"Yes."

Lu Shang pulled out the needle in his hand, lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but before Uncle Yuan could stop him, Liang Zirui came over at some point, leaning against the door, with his hands in his white coat: "What are you doing?"

"I'm worried." Lu Shang said.

"It's late at night, and it's still snowing outside, are you crazy?"

"Li Sui won't listen to Zuo Chao, so I have to go."

Liang Zirui was so angry that he almost lost his breath: "You are my patient, can you listen to the doctor's order once?"

Lu Shang showed Liang Zirui a pleading look: "Ari, let me go, I can't do without him."

He seldom shows weakness, Liang Zirui knew that Lu Shang was trying to manipulate him on purpose, but he couldn't help feeling that he was being taken advantage of, so he agreed cursingly: "Just this time, come back and lie down obediently!"

He hurried all the way, afraid to come and see Li Sui do something out of the ordinary, when Lu Shang arrived, Zuo Chao's men had already surrounded the factory door.

"What about people?"

"It's all inside."

Pushing the door open and entering, there are messy goods piled up all around, bits and pieces of household garbage scattered on the ground, and the smell is not very pleasant.There were a few people kneeling on the ground near the door, all of them were tied behind their hands. Under the dim light, it could be seen that their faces were covered with paint. It should be Li Sui's masterpiece. Zuo Chao's people rarely beat others. place to be seen.

Seeing that it was him who came in, Li Sui was obviously a little nervous, and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.Lu Shang's eyes only stayed on him for two seconds to confirm that he was fine, and then moved to Li Yan who was sitting on the ground.

"It's such a big battle, I think someone is here." Li Yan obviously didn't get any benefits from Li Sui, his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open his eyes, his feet were hurt, and he couldn't even stand up.No one would have imagined that this young master of the Li family, who had been arrogant for half his life, would have such a miserable day.

"Stop it, you surrender yourself now, and you can get a light sentence." Lu Shang said.

"Surrender yourself?" Li Yan laughed, "Lu Shang, don't forget, I still have a big gift in my hand, as long as my people deliver it to Liu Xingtian, what method do you think he will use to deal with you?"

Lu Shang was expressionless: "I'm afraid, you don't have this chance."

Li Yan looked at him coldly, and Lu Shang said again: "This is Liu Xingtian's territory, how do you think I got in here?"

A vein twitched on Li Yan's forehead, and his voice became cold: "...he betrayed me."

"You two are the same, so you don't need to separate each other," Lu Shang said, "If I were you, I would sell this news to Liu Xingtian as soon as I approached him, instead of keeping it as a life-saving handle."

The chess missed a move, and the whole game was lost. Li Yan's face was ashen, and his face was full of colors for a while.After all, he is a naughty rich second generation, unlike Liu Xingtian's kind of old fritters who have been in the rivers and lakes. Without his father, there is only a despicable character left. He thinks a lot about everything but has a shallow vision. , and finally took himself in.

However, Liu Xingtian was a real gangster, and what he valued was actual benefits. Even if he wanted to hurt others, he had to be self-interested.In Liu Xingtian's eyes, Li Yan's actions were nothing more than petty trouble. He sought protection from Liu Xingtian, which was indeed troublesome for Lu Shang. However, in the face of interests, Liu Xingtian would sell him without hesitation, which is also expected. among things.

"You deal with it," Lu Shang didn't want to talk to him any more, he turned his head and told Zuo Chao, "Send him to the police station after he recovers from his injuries. Don't cause trouble for yourself." After finishing speaking, he handed Li Sui a Eyes, turned and went out.

It was dark, and on New Year's Eve, it was snowing heavily again, and the streets were almost deserted. Walking on the green brick road, I could occasionally hear a few bursts of laughter coming out of the windows.

Lu Shang's pace was not fast, his body hadn't recovered, and after coming out, he took in some cold air, his whole body was shaking, and his breathing was not steady.Li Sui followed behind him step by step, keeping a distance of two arms, with an appearance of clearly blaming himself but afraid that he would blame him and dare not apologize.

The two of them walked like this, neither of them spoke first.

When did it start?Lu Shang also couldn't remember that he was actually a pessimistic person. Because of his health, he always felt that everything in the world was full of boredom. After meeting Li Sui, he gradually began to feel that life seemed pretty good, and he even thought about it more. Live for two days.

Lu Shang sometimes thinks that Liang Zirui is really a crow's mouth, he can say everything right.At the beginning, I warned him not to let him keep tigers as troubles. He didn't raise tigers as troubles. He directly raised Hachiko as a loyal dog. After sending them away, he ran back by himself. Dr. Liang seemed to have warned him not to fall into it. , he didn't really sink in, he fell straight in, and he was so satisfied that he didn't want to climb out at all.

He has lived for 26 years, and he always believed that his fate should be the same as his father's, guarding his one-acre three-point field, spending half his life as an ascetic, and then leaving alone in the silent night.At this time, he looked at the two shadows elongated by the street lamps on the snow, and couldn't help feeling a little curious. If he tried a different life, he wondered if his fate would be a little different.

The two walked to the side of the car, Lu Shang stopped, turned to look at Li Sui, and said, "Let me ask you, do you want to be with me?"

Li Sui was startled: "Yes."

"But I have a heart attack and may die at any time, are you afraid?"

Li Sui stared at him firmly, "I'm not afraid."

"I can't travel, make love, enjoy food with you like ordinary people..."

"It's ok."

"I can't even accompany you for the rest of my life. I may leave in just one or two years, and the rest of your life will live in my shadow..."

"I am willing."

Lu Shang closed his eyes: "Come here."

Li Sui took two steps forward, and Lu Shang said to him, "You asked me if I loved you, but now I will give you the answer."

Li Sui was shocked, but before he could react, his shoulders sank, something soft and warm was pressed against his lips, Li Sui's eyes widened, and less than a centimeter before his eyes was what he was thinking about day and night. Man, at that moment, he even forgot to close his eyes.

The soft tip of the tongue is like honey flowing out of a beehive, spreading between the lips in an instant, Li Sui went from astonishment to disbelief, to ecstasy, and finally all in the lingering lips and tongue, it turned into a pool of slightly bitter honey water.

The snow is still falling, covering the vast land profusely, and in the distance, there are New Year's fireworks exploding in the sky, and the two kiss passionately, as if they are the only ones left in the world.

As soon as the kiss was over, Lu Shang let go of him panting, and turned his head: "Your biting nonsense is not called kissing, that's called it, remember?"

Li Sui didn't seem to be able to breathe anymore, he was so choked up that he couldn't speak, his lips trembled, and he felt that every cell in his body was so happy that he was about to run away from home.After a long while, he nodded fiercely, stepped forward and half hugged and half pushed Lu Shang against the car door, supported the back of his head, learned to use it flexibly, turned the guest into the center, and continued the kiss that had just ended.
