"Do you still remember that big case ten years ago?" Grandpa asked, and after thinking about it, he corrected, "No, it's been 11 years."

"Remember," Bai Shen didn't know why he suddenly brought up this matter, "what's wrong?"

"I saw the photo my second child gave me, and I immediately remembered it," said the grandfather. "The boy's eyes, I have reached such an age that I can't remember anything, but I still can't forget them. They are unique in the world, and even the likeness must be nothing."

Listening to Bai Shen, he was very surprised that he would say such a thing. On the one hand, he thought that the case ten years ago was related to Lu Xun, and on the other hand, he was surprised by his grandfather's evaluation of him.

——There is a pair of eyes that are unique in the world and cannot be found in the same category.

"When you were studying ten years ago, I personally went to you to decipher a file." Grandpa held a cup of tea, and continued, "Actually, I asked many people at that time, and you were the last one. At that time, you were young. In addition, I don't want you to participate in such a complicated case, and I only gave you the information when I was unable to decrypt it."

"You mean...the document?" Bai Shen recalled it carefully for a while, "But didn't you say that it was just for my practice?"

"Yeah, there are so many things that experts have not solved, how can you, a 16-year-old child, be able to solve it?" Grandpa laughed, "To be honest, no one was optimistic about you at that time, even Grandpa was suspicious. "

"But I... solved it." No one has ever told Bai Shen that the document was passed to him after so many top experts tried unsuccessfully.

"Yeah, it only took one day." Grandpa smiled, "You are our pride, the pride of the entire deep sea."

"After that day, I was invited to be a parent," Bai Shen recalled with a smile, "because I didn't attend class, I buried myself in writing more than ten pages of symbols that the teacher couldn't understand."

He still remembers his father sitting in the office with a dazed look on his face, and his father's serious and serious nod after being communicated by the teacher, "take him to see a psychiatrist", and finally went home and read his draft All night.

He even joked the next day whether he should go to see a psychiatrist together.

"No one thought that the key would be such an ordinary thing," said Grandpa. "Wardrobe, TV, curtains... only you thought of it, probably because you were just a child at that time."

Hearing this sentence, Bai Shen finally understood why he mentioned this matter. He remembered the password game that Lu Xun had said before and would play with his mother. He said that things such as wardrobes, TVs, curtains, etc. used as a key.

"The person who wrote those codes," Bai Shen paused, seemingly unbelievable, "is Lu Xun's mother?"

"That's right." Grandpa took a sip of tea, the heat still wafting from the teacup: "She may hope that her son can solve the password and escape. That child was about the same as you at that time, only 15 years old. "

"Grandpa, what do you mean..." It was more than ten years ago, and Bai Shen was still a little flustered thinking about it, and his heart suddenly hurt, "The child who was threatened to tear up his ticket at that time was Lu Xun?"

"Yes." Grandpa answered him.

Bai Shen opened his mouth, a little speechless.

At that time, Shenhai took out the information from the kidnappers to prevent those people from destroying it, but no one could solve it after searching around for the masters of deciphering. Finally, a 16-year-old child solved it. The information in the password contained the escape route. In this way, the kidnapped children were rescued and the kidnappers were brought down.

Lu Xun said that he experienced some kidnappings when he was young, but he never said that it included that one.

Bai Shen remembers very clearly that the inside information at that time was that the child was already on the verge of death when he was rescued, and it took more than 40 hours to save his life.As for the other kidnapped person, the child's only and best friend, he was torn apart when the kidnapper threatened him, and died right in front of the child's eyes.

Lu Xun once held his waist in the middle of the night and said that he would tell him his own story, but he didn't say a word about the kidnapping case that made him really walk through the gate of hell.I also saw my best friend die in front of my eyes. The family sold the house in the same year, and my mother took the initiative to take the wrongdoing and went to prison in order to protect others...

He didn't say anything about these things.

Now he only felt a severe pain in his heart. If Lu Xun was in front of his eyes, he would definitely rub him into his arms, no matter whether Lu Xun hated him or not.

"Do you know who the child whose ticket was torn up is?" Grandpa asked, and he seemed to feel a little heavy in his heart when he said this. "It's Jacob's younger brother."

Bai Shen lowered his head and did not speak.

"Jacob...he hates me, doesn't he?" Bai Shen was stunned for a while before asking, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "I hate that I didn't decipher earlier to save his brother... ..Yeah?"

In the past two years, Jacob's gang hunted him down, not because he brought down the previous boss, but because... he hated him for not saving his brother ten years ago... right?

Grandpa looked at him and nodded: "Maybe."

Bai Shen stood up in a daze, and walked into the snow.

Shocked, distressed, sad, complicated.

What Lu Xun experienced was much, much crueler than he imagined. What made him feel the most uncomfortable was that he had never heard Lu Xun complain.His bipolar disorder is likely to be accumulated from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) again and again, and finally broke out completely when he was 15 years old.

He has endured a lot of injustice and malice in this world. He bears everything by himself. Even the uncontrollable seizures are endured alone. Before the two of them meet and get close, who can share the pain for him?Even just to listen to him talk?

No, no one had heard of it, even his mother was too busy to take a look at him even when he returned home with injuries all over his body.

It's been almost a year, and only Chu Chu would call him occasionally to tell him about Lu Xun's recent situation.He wanted to know if Lu Xun had lost weight, whether there were any new scars left on his body, whether he had taken his medicine on time, whether he had seen another doctor for treatment... He wanted to know everything about Lu Xun.

Bai Shen now... misses him very much, much more than any moment in the past year of separation.

Thinking of being next to him, wanting to hold his hand, wanting to kiss him forever, wanting to simply flow with him, wanting to have insignificant little definite happiness with him.

A few days later, a foreigner came to Medog County, and he went all the way to the door of Mr. Bai's house.

Seeing him standing at the door panting, Bai Shen suddenly felt a little sore.If it wasn't something very important, he wouldn't have come all the way here, still so anxious.

"Brother," Bai Hua's eyes were red, I don't know if it's because he was too tired from running around and didn't rest well, or he was too anxious to cry, anyway, Bai Shen didn't think it would be a good thing, "I have something to tell you. "

Bai Shen pulled him over and sat down, poured him a glass of water, "Well, don't worry."

"Lu Xun..." As soon as Bai Hua uttered these words, Bai Shen felt a little overwhelmed, and the fear of the unknown spread boundlessly.

"An armed conflict broke out during the mission, and he was injured," Bai Hua looked at him, as if he couldn't bear to continue, and then continued after a pause, "Corneal injury."

"Corneal damage?" Bai Shen couldn't believe it, "Is it serious?"

In fact, he already knew the answer without asking, if it wasn't serious, why would Bai Hua come here specially, but when he heard Bai Hua's answer, his heart sank suddenly.

Bai Hua nodded, his face was not very good-looking, he glanced at Bai Shen several times, and then hesitantly said: "Almost... blind."

Bai Shen fell silent, seemingly in a daze.But not long after, he asked: "Can you recover from surgery?"

"It was possible, but he didn't have surgery in time. His condition has been deteriorating, and he is now at risk," Bai Hua said. "His mood...is very...very bad, and he doesn't cooperate with the treatment. The doctor even said...he Mental illness kills more than blindness these days."

Bai Shen closed his eyes and suddenly felt a little hard to breathe.

It's as sad as being submerged in water and feeling the oxygen being pulled away, making people suffocate.

"I'll go see him." When Bai Shen said this, he didn't hesitate, as if it didn't matter if the sky fell. In this point, he was surprisingly similar to Lu Xun.

He didn't take any luggage, he was still wearing a thin coat worn indoors, and ran out the door directly, Bai Hua followed him out and took a taxi to the airport.

Along the way, Bai Shen was very restless, even a little impatient to register and wait for takeoff.Fortunately, God was still open, the weather conditions were good, the plane was not delayed, and it was even a little shorter than expected.

It was midnight when he arrived at the hospital, there were far fewer people, and the inpatient department was completely silent.

Bai Hua led him to Lu Xun's ward, and as soon as he turned a corner, he saw a few people waiting outside the door with gloomy faces in the innermost part of the passage.

Xiao Xiao sat on the iron chair in front of the door, holding a cigarette in his hand, with his head buried in his knees.Li Ke sat beside him, leaning his head against the wall with a tired face.Jian Dong, who had met Bai Shen once, stood aside solemnly.There were three other people waiting at the door that he hadn't seen before, probably members of Dead Leaf Butterfly.

When Bai Shen walked over, Li Ke turned his head and saw him first, then stood up suddenly, and several people looked at him at once.

He didn't care to express his feelings about the reunion, so he quickly gestured for silence, walked to the door and paused, then pressed the doorknob and walked in.

The author has something to say:

Finally reunited, it's not easy. TvT
