The Heart of a Smith

Before she left, Aunt Lu was afraid that he would be bored waiting, so she turned on the TV.

The news broadcast is broadcasting on it, and it is the Spring Festival, and the world is full of joy.There was a light knocking sound from the glass tank in the corner at the right time. Lu Shang smiled faintly, turned the wheelchair around, and fumbled for the feed button.

These two little creatures have been raised by him, and they know how to scratch the tank when they are hungry. Every time Lu Shang hears the sound, he knows that they are famine again.This tortoise is also enjoying the blessings. It eats all day long. When it is full, it shrinks its limbs and head into the shell, and starts to sleep soundly, without worrying about anything.After raising it for so long, it hasn't grown very much, and it eats a lot. One meal a day is sometimes not enough.

Lu Shang felt that he was really not suitable for raising animals. His big tortoise became a hungry wolf, while the little tortoise became a lazy pig.

After feeding the turtle, Lu Shang put his hand on his temple and pressed it. Maybe it was because he stayed in the heating room for a long time. He gradually felt dizzy. Just as he was about to reach out to open the window, his heart suddenly contracted.

His movements froze for a second, and he only had time to jump out of the word "bad" before it was replaced by sharp pain.In an instant, the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiled, his heart was like a runaway train, he broke free from the control of his body violently, and screamed crazily.Lu Shang couldn't hold back the pain at once, leaned over suddenly, let out an unbearable muffled sound, lost his strength, fell to the carpet, and curled up into a ball in pain.

The surroundings were heavy, intertwined with dizziness, and countless voices rang in his ears at the same time. Lu Shang's eyes lost focus, and he felt as if he was buried alive. An overwhelming sense of suffocation hit him. Oxygen is struggled through the crevices.

Countless pictures flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. At that moment, in the chaos, Lu Shang clearly felt that there was a person standing in a corner not far away, who was looking expressionlessly at with him.

"No... not yet..." He clenched his hands, struggled to crawl to the table according to his memory, tried his best to open the drawer, and pulled out a tube of needle-free syringes.

This action took almost all of his strength, he gasped heavily, and with trembling hands, he aimed the syringe at the vein with his last breath, and pressed it down desperately.

The driver of the runaway train seemed to be shot at the same time and died tragically under the wheel.The effect of the medicine took effect quickly, Lu Shang threw away the syringe, curled up on the ground, and allowed the medicine to spread in his body.

The whole process went on and on quickly. I don't know how long it took. The roar in my ears gradually subsided and was replaced by the voice of the news anchor. Lu Shang weakly opened his eyes, and the empty living room was filled with the sound of singing and dancing. , There was a faint light in front of his eyes, and he also recovered a little vision.

The singing in the ear was accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, full of celebration and joy. It seemed that everyone in this city was celebrating the New Year. Lu Shang heard the sound, but for some reason his eyes were a little red.

There is a dark road. He has walked alone for many years. He is not afraid of the dark, nor is he afraid of falling. At that time, he had nothing to worry about.Later, there was an extra boy beside him, who tried to support him with his clumsy hands. At first, he was just curious to see what the boy would look like, but he didn't want to stretch out his hand, and later it became his reliance.Accompanied for seven full years, it was as if someone lit a lamp for him behind him, pushing him forward all the way, if he hadn't received the induction in the severe pain of dying, he would have almost forgotten that in this world, no The long road has an end after all.

Before the news broadcast was over, Lu Shang lay on the ground for a while. After the pain was suppressed, he sat up sweating profusely and leaned against the table leg to relax.In just a quarter of an hour, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat, the ground was a mess, and the cotton balls and gauze in the medicine box were rummaged everywhere in his haste.

It was very quiet outside the house, the snow was still falling, pieces were blown away on the glass windows, and then melted quickly, converging into water droplets and flowing down the river.The dishes on the table were being laid out quietly, the small hot pot was bubbling, and in the corner, two turtles were still feasting on a piece of raw meat. Lu Shang looked at the familiar things around him, and his heart gradually fell silent.

With his legs regaining some strength, he slowly got up and cleaned up the floor, went back to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and started calling Li Sui.

"When will you be back?" He tried his best not to hear anything strange in his voice.

"Are you in a hurry? Sorry, I just got off the expressway and I'll be home in half an hour."

Lu Shang squeezed the palm of his hand, covered with sweat: "...I just knocked over the medicine bottle."

"What's the matter? Are you hurt?" Li Sui asked urgently.

"No, but the medicine was accidentally dirty."

"It's okay, I'll go buy it now, just wait for me a little longer." Li Sui comforted.

When Lu Shang listened, he felt his heart churning: "Li Sui, I..."

"what happened?"

"...It's okay, go home early."

Lu Shang hung up the phone, feeling a strong nasal ache, and it took him a long time to endure the ache, and then called Uncle Yuan.

Uncle Yuan was going back to his hometown today. When Lu Shang called him, he was waiting at the airport. When he received the call, he rushed over without saying a word.

When he entered the room, Lu Shang was writing something at the desk, and he stopped writing, his expression looked a little dazed, and his eyes were still a little red.He has been with Lu Shang for so many years, and he has never seen him like this, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart for no reason.

When Lu Shang saw him, he didn't restrain the expression on his face. He folded the things written on his hands and handed them over: "Contact the notary office to get a notarization."

Uncle Yuan took it: "This is..."

Lu Shang didn't answer, he pressed his heart, turned his head to avoid his sight: "Let's do it."

Uncle Yuan vaguely guessed what was written on the piece of paper in his hand, and suddenly felt that it was a thousand catties heavy, and he almost couldn't hold it steady. He opened a corner tremblingly, looked up, and then completely froze in place.

"Uncle Yuan, thank you for these years." Lu Shang whispered without looking at him.

Uncle Yuan turned his head slowly, only a desk lamp was on in the room, Lu Shang was completely hidden in the darkness, only a thin shoulder was exposed, so thin that it seemed to disappear at any time.

Li Sui came back later than expected, it was the New Year, the hospital only had doctors on duty, and there were more patients stranded than usual, and Lu Shang's medicine was not available outside, so he had to wait for a while.

When he got home, Lu Shang was lighting candles at the dining table. Seeing his clear eyes, Li Sui seemed very happy, and grabbed his hand and refused to let go: "Can you see?"

Lu Shang nodded with a chuckle, his expression as usual.

After running for a day, Li Sui was so hungry that he devoured the meal. Lu Shang couldn't eat any more, so he sat next to him and watched him eat while picking up food for him.

It was rare for the two of them to have such an intimate meal, Li Sui took some of the most beautiful roses and brought them to him, and joked meaningfully: "This flower is really suitable for a marriage proposal."

Lu Shang froze for a moment, then reached out to take it.

Li Sui was a little shy, and scratched his palm with a finger: "Are you...willing to marry me?"

Lu Shang was made a little uncomfortable by his words, endured it, and tried to force a smile: "Are you proposing?"

"Of course not, how can such an important matter as a marriage proposal be so casual," Li Sui squeezed his hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of it, "I want you to let me know first, we have been together for five years, Can I get back on track?"

Lu Shang looked into Li Sui's pious and longing eyes. At that moment, his heart loosened, and he almost confessed, but he tried his best to hold back the words.Although it is Lu Shang's own decision to undergo surgery, there is a 10% chance. To be honest, he has no idea at all. Buy a spaceship in a second, but if you don't have...

Lu Shang collected his emotions, raised his head, and said with a smile, "One more year of investigation."

After hearing this, Li Sui's eyes lit up, and he was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands. It took a long time before he rushed forward, hugged Lu Shang into his arms, kissed and kissed the back of the neck, and said excitedly: "You said, but Can't go back on my word."

Lu Shang closed his eyes, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and said shyly, "I don't regret it."

After dinner, the two of them discussed the company's affairs again. Li Sui told Lu Shang what he had gained from traveling around for the past few days, and got a lot of suggestions.

"In the future, we can spend more money on the bright side," Lu Shang cut a piece of cake and handed it to Li Sui, "I asked Yan Ke to find some good partners in Japan, and we have already negotiated, you can start tomorrow morning , take someone over to sign the contract."

"Tomorrow?" Li Sui's movement of holding the fork froze for a moment, he didn't say no, but full of reluctance and reluctance were written on his face.

Lu Shang looked at him, ruthless: "You are a big man, you should be busy with your career when you should be busy with your career, don't always cling to me."

This was a bit harsh, and sure enough, Li Sui lowered his head and stopped talking, with a hurt expression on his face.

Lu Shang felt a pain in his liver when he saw it. He grabbed his hand under the table, squeezed it, and coaxed, "Just a week."

In the evening, the two of them took a bath together, watching the arrival of zero o'clock, Li Sui was obviously tired after running all day, and kept dozing off, but Lu Shang didn't feel much sleepy because of the medicine.When Li Sui fell asleep, Wei Wei sat up and combed his hair over and over with his fingers, the reluctance and love in his eyes were undoubtedly evident.

Even when Li Sui fell asleep, he would always wrap him in his arms, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Lu Shang once thought that he was insecure, but later gradually discovered that Li Sui actually used this method to judge him Whether his heartbeat and body temperature are normal, so that he can be aware of it at the first time when he feels unwell at night.With such thoughts, he will probably never meet another one in his life.

Just a little longer, just a little longer, Lu Shang thought.

The next day Li Sui got up early, counted out the pills that Lu Shang needed to take every day, packed them in small bottles of different shapes, and put them in his close-fitting clothes.

"This big square bottle is for lunch, the small square bottle is for dinner, and the round bottle and spray are for emergencies," Li Sui told them one by one, with a hundred thousand worries, "Don't take the watch out of your hand. Come down, press the first button to call me directly, don't worry about time, I will answer whenever you call..."

As Li Sui was talking, he suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at Lu's house many years ago, Lu Shang was the same at that time, telling him what to do when he was thirsty, hungry, or injured. Going backwards, their positions were reversed.

"I've already booked the itinerary. When I come back, we'll go on a tropical vacation." Li Sui said.

Lu Shang rarely responded to him, and only coughed twice, urging: "Go quickly, you won't be able to catch the plane."

Li Sui never thought it was such a difficult thing to leave home, so he changed his shoes at the door and looked back frequently.After one night, Lu Shang's eyesight was already very weak, and he vaguely saw Li Sui standing in the backlight of the door, and said to him with great reluctance: "Then I'm leaving."

The light was a bit dazzling, Lu Shang looked at him, lost his mind for two seconds: "...um."

He didn't realize until Li Sui went out the door, and called out "Li Sui" out of his voice.

Li Sui immediately turned around, waiting for him to speak.

The eagerness on Lu Shang's face faded quickly, replaced by a faint smile: "Take care of yourself."

Li Sui nodded, stared at Lu Shang, and left hesitantly.

When Li Sui's car finally drove out of the yard, Merchant Lu heaved a sigh of relief, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, he fell to the ground exhausted.The empty living room suddenly heard the sound of chairs colliding, and he heard Uncle Yuan rush in from the yard, and Aunt Lu also ran out of the kitchen, screaming "ambulance ambulance".

There was a lot of noise around, it seemed that many people came, Lu Shang woke up and fell asleep, his consciousness drifted far away, feeling that he was being pushed away on a stretcher, he suddenly remembered that there was still an important thing to do, and he opened his eyes weakly. Opening his eyes, he reached out and grabbed Uncle Yuan's sleeve, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed weakly: "Uncle Yuan... that child... I will leave it to you..."

After saying this, he seemed to have got his wish, and his bony wrist completely drooped.

It was snowing again, and Uncle Yuan stood in the yard, watching Lu Shang being loaded into the ambulance by a group of people, with mixed emotions in his heart.He remembered that many years ago, there was a similar scene. It was also in this courtyard, and it was also the Lu family. Lu Shang's father said to him: "My son will be handed over to you."He said this and never came back.

For the sake of simplicity, Li Sui only brought Xiao Tang, an accountant, and Xiao Lin, another male salesman. The three of them landed at the airport, and after waiting for a while, no car arrived.Xiao Tang called the receptionist, who kept apologizing, saying that the car that came to pick them up broke down on the road and asked them to wait.

After hearing this, Li Sui felt anxious for some reason, walking in and out of the lounge fidgeting.

"Director Li, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Lin asked.

Li Sui frowned, also noticed his strangeness, and shook his head: "I don't know, I always feel uneasy."

Xiao Lin was a bit superstitious, and when he heard what he said, he was immediately infected and became suspicious.At this moment, Xiao Tang let out a scream, which startled the two of them.

"What's the matter with you, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Tang rummaged through his bag, his face turned pale: "I... I forgot to bring my official seal..."

When Xiao Lin heard this, his eyes widened: "You're not mistaken, we just came here to stamp, and you don't even bring a stamp, so what are we doing here?"

Xiao Tang was about to cry: "I, I put it in my bag when I left! I don't know why..."

The anxiety in Li Sui's heart suddenly became worse, and he always felt that something was urging him to go back.Overhead, boarding announcements were played non-stop on the radio, creating a sense of tension in vain.In the waiting room where people come and go, Li Sui remembered what Lu Shang said inadvertently last night, as well as the few words he heard in his sleep, and felt more and more restless.

"What should I do?" Xiao Tang stomped his feet anxiously.

"Go and book a flight back." Li Sui stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice.

"Go back?" Xiao Lin was incredulous, "It's inconvenient for her to be a girl, why don't I go back and get it?"

Li Sui turned around, with an extremely cold voice: "Book me the nearest flight, I want to go back, you two stay here."

"Huh?" Both of them were surprised at the same time.
