Mrs. Lei suffered from a stroke before, but she recovered later. This time it happened suddenly, and she didn't recover immediately.

People from the village rushed over one after another. Jiang Yu stood in Mrs. Lei's room, watching her panting with her mouth open, the bags under her eyes were stretched out, and her face and neck were covered in gray and blue. color.

Anyone who asked questions could only make a vague sound, as if his tongue could not be stretched straight, and he was already unconscious.

Jiang Yu's brows slowly furrowed, he might be dying.

The granny, who was nearly over [-], held Mrs. Lei's two hands on her chest with her skinny hands. The next moment she cried out in panic, "Why is it so cold? It will take a long time for the old lady to come back?"

Someone in the know came over and said, "He went to Majiazhuang to find Zhou Shudong."

Zhou Shudong is the only doctor in this whole ravine. He runs a small clinic. If anyone gets sick, he will come here by bike. Most of them are minor ailments such as cold and fever. If they are serious, they can only go to the county. Also helpless.

I don't know how long it took, the old lady suddenly yelled, and everyone leaned over. Seeing that Mrs. Lei's hands and feet were cold, they all sighed.

"Second son, hurry up and get Lei Xing back, the old lady is dying!"

Jiang Yu turned around and walked out the door.

The old woman and another older man found a shroud in the box and changed it for Mrs. Lei. This set of shroud was prepared by the society when she had a stroke. They thought that they would survive the hurdle and live to have a full family of children and grandchildren, but they did not expect it to be so soon. Just use it.

Mrs. Lei was moved to a big chair, her neck limply slumped on her shoulders, a trace of white foam hung from the corner of her mouth, her two bulging eyes were staring forward, she didn't know what was worth her so much persistence.

It wasn't until Lei Huang's figure appeared from the door, and after waiting for her son, that Mrs. Lei finally broke her breath.

The old grandma let out a hey, "Da Yan, why did you come back, go and see your mother!"

Lei Huang stepped into the main room with his legs wide open, his thin lips were drawn into a hard straight line, his straight body trembled slightly, his knees hit the ground heavily, and the sound fell into the ears of everyone present.

Then the middle-aged man who followed quickly walked over, put his hand on Mrs. Lei's heart, and took out the equipment from the medicine box. After a while, he shook his head.

"Oh, why did a good person suddenly disappear?" The woman who lived in the next house wiped her eyes, "The old lady said in the morning that she would go to the mountain to gather firewood in the afternoon."

The woman's husband pushed her with his arm, and motioned her to look at the kneeling Lei Xuan with his eyes, telling her to stop talking.

The atmosphere shrouded in the main room is indescribably depressing. Birth, old age, sickness and death happen every year, and anyone who catches up will inevitably feel sad.

Lei Huang put Mrs. Lei on the board, covered her from head to toe with a large red cloth, put a bowl in front of the board, filled it with rice, and put a burning incense on it. .

After finishing all this, Lei Yan knelt on the ground again, took out a match and put it in the basin, the papers were all ignited, and the rising gray mist lingered in front of his eyes, making his vision a bit blurred.

Neighbors in the neighborhood were very worried, "Why is that kid so calm?"

The old mother passed away, and Lei Yan's reaction was too abnormal, which made the big guy feel a little uncomfortable.

Standing in the crowd, Jiang Yu stared at Lei Min's sharp-edged side face. He couldn't find any emotion that a filial son would have. Behind the calmness he maintained was probably immeasurable grief.

Mrs. Lei's accident was not in Jiang Yu's plan. He is not the master of the sky above his head, so he can't figure out when his life will end.

After all, every family has miscellaneous things. After the big guys finished their consolation, they dispersed one by one. The main room suddenly became quiet, only the paper in the brazier and the incense in the bowl were burning brightly.

Jiang Yu was standing, Lei Huang was kneeling, both of them were silent.

The chickens and ducks that were looking for food outside came back to drink water in the yard, and the fat pig in the pen kept arching the wooden door. It seemed that I could hear the sound of Mrs. Lei slapping it with a stick. Everything seemed to be fine. changed.

The relatives from Lei's family rushed over at noon that day, and everyone brought blankets and cloths. Those cloths were all hung on the wall of the main room, blown here and there by the cold wind blowing in, and they were a little panicked.

"Da Yan, everything that needs to be prepared should be prepared as soon as possible."

"Yeah, it's almost Chinese New Year, but this happened, oh..."

"If you need help, just say it, and we will come if we can."

Everyone was expressing their attitudes in a hurry, no matter whether it was the case or not, what they did on the surface was enough, Lei Yan bowed his head and hummed, but couldn't hear anything.

After Laba, it is time to prepare for the New Year. It is a day worth looking forward to. This incident has had a great impact on the villagers. Except for those who are full of thoughts about wearing new clothes soon, everything else Children who are not in their world still play and fight.

The eight-treasure porridge in the pot was cooked by Mrs. Lei in the morning, and put a lot of red dates and peanuts. Jiang Yu sat behind the pot hole and added firewood. The wrinkles between his brows have not been smoothed since morning.

For him, family affection is just two Chinese characters with relatively simple strokes, without instilling the so-called emotion, a dead thing as thin as paper, so he doesn't know how to comfort the man who puts all the pain in his heart.

Jiang Yu rubbed his forehead, looked at the jumping flames, his slightly squinted eyes also had a cluster of light, after a while he went out and lifted the lid of the pot, and brought a bowl of porridge to the house.

"Eat the porridge."

Lei Huang's expression was a bit dull, the steaming porridge had just come out of the pot, it was so hot that he couldn't put it in his mouth, but he didn't know it.

Cursing in a low voice, Jiang Yu knelt down and pinched Lei Yan's chin, saw that there were red spots on his tongue, and his face was irritable, "Are you crazy?"

Lei Huang's face was expressionless, his clear facial features were surrounded by a feeling like he was about to cry, and he looked distorted.

"She just went to find your father." Jiang Yu opened and closed his lips, uttering the only sentence he could think of.

After a while, Lei Yan hoarse voice, red eyes, "It's gone."

"Everyone will come to this point, sooner or later." Jiang Yu pointed out the fact that people always avoid him, his calm voice was almost harsh.

The woman in his memory was covered with a thin layer of skin when she died, tossing day and night, and died amidst her hysterical curses to the man she hated.

Lei Huang lowered his head, and after a while, he rested his chin on Jiang Yu's shoulder, opened his hanging arms, and hugged him tightly from under Jiang Yu's coat.

Ten fingers pierced into the opponent's flesh, as if they wanted to completely crush the person in his arms and embed them into the bones.

It seemed that only in this way, the empty space in his heart would not make him feel overwhelmed.

"You, don't, leave me."

The man's turbid and tearing voice was full of fragility and uneasiness. Jiang Yu raised his eyelids, and his eyes happened to fall on the stopper. At that moment, all the hairs on his back stood on end.

It is said that after death a person's soul will stay in the place he is attached to, until he is chained and taken away by the ghost messenger. Jiang Yu swallowed his saliva, not sure if it was blown by the wind, but he felt an indescribable coldness. , as if Mrs. Lei was staring.

At night Jiang Yu was lying on the kang, the silence in the room was like a sponge that had absorbed water, getting heavier and heavier, suppressing the breath in his chest, he moved his feet under the blanket, "Lei Wei, are you asleep?"

The man didn't make a sound, his breathing was uneven and long, and he obviously didn't fall asleep.

Jiang Yu turned sideways and inserted his fingers.After getting into Lei Huang's short and stiff hair and rubbing his fingertips against his scalp, it took a long time before he felt the body next to his arm trembling slightly.

Jiang Yu pulled the quilt over his head and was almost face to face with Lei Yu in the quilt. After a while, he moved closer and stuck out his tongue.Lick your head against each other's eyes.up.lick.

The next day, some distant relatives from Mrs. Lei's side came. They didn't have much contact with each other, and they left after a formality.

On the day when the coffin was unearthed, there were people inside and outside the house. Mrs. Lei liked to be a matchmaker during her lifetime, and she made many marriages through her matchmaking.

The custom passed down from generation to generation is that before leaving the coffin, the dutiful son must wear hemp and mourning to get water.

With a white blanket on his body and a sackcloth on his head, Lei Yan walked in front of the team with a black umbrella. He knelt by the river.

Jiang Yu who was standing behind handed over an empty bowl, and Lei Yan scooped a bowl of water from the river with the bowl in both hands.

The team whistled around the river and returned to the village.

Lei Yan put the bowl of water in front of the incense candle, and the mature man standing by the coffin let out a rough growl, while the other men shouted loudly at the same time, bent their knees and put the stretcher on their shoulders, step by step, facing outward steadily Go, carry the coffin up the mountain.

The land here is divided according to the population, each family has its own family, and even for the burial of the dead relatives, it is not allowed to dig holes at will.

A group of people walked around the village and took the farthest way to the mountain, in order to let the person in the coffin take another look at the place where he lived.

Jiang Yu walked two steps behind Lei Yan, attending a funeral out of nowhere, he felt the cold wind blowing on his face, it was wet and clogged his pores, and there was a feeling that the tears from Lei Yan in front of him floated to his face The illusion on his face.

After the coffin was lowered into the pit, Lei Yan took out a lot of loose change from his pocket and sprinkled it on it. When he buried the coffin, he was still very calm, kowtowing and burning the paper very seriously.

After coming out of the coffin, it was time to eat. Lei Yan slaughtered the pig in the pen that was going to be slaughtered in a few days, killed several chickens and ducks, and then went to the vegetable field. Several women from the village came to work in the kitchen Cooked a few tables of meals to entertain those relatives.

"Da Yan, are you alright?"

Xuemei rushed back from school when she heard the news. Her red eyes were a little swollen. Tears rolled down her eyes as she looked at the silent man.

"Don't hold back anything." Xuemei clutched the sleeve of the cotton jacket and glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu noticed her gaze, but pretended not to know, took the glutinous rice balls out of the bowl and threw them into the frying pan, poking them with chopsticks and rolling them over.

"I told my parents that you can find them if you have any difficulties in the future." Xuemei looked at Lei Yan, "You can call me at Majiazhuang."

Lei Huang raised his head, exposing his tired and haggard face in front of her, his voice was dry and hoarse, "Okay."

It is said that the wandering souls will return home on the first seven days. The local custom is to light the lamps at home before dark, not to speak, and to take out the clothes worn by the deceased and put them in the dustpan, which means let her touch them. Touch and see.

Lei Yan put a jar with eggs and grass on the coffee table in the main room. He stepped back a few steps and sat on the chair with his eyes closed.

Jiang Yu, who was staying on the kang, was going to sleep, but he always felt a dark wind around him, so he pressed his twitching temples and hugged the quilt to Lei Huang's place.

He had never experienced the soul-returning night before. At first, Jiang Yu kept his eyes open and his nerves were tense. Later, he didn't know how he fell asleep, and fell into a warm embrace in a daze.

When Jiang Yu woke up the next morning, he was on the kang, and Lei Yan was sitting cross-legged with his back to him, as if in a daze.

"Your mother came back last night?" Jiang Yu scratched his scalp vigorously, muttering, "I feel like someone hugged me in the middle of the night."

Lei Yan glanced at Jiang Yu, took his coat over and put it on for him, lowered his head to zip up the unsmooth zipper, and said with a strong nasal voice, "That's me."

"...Oh" Jiang Yu's mouth twitched fiercely.

On May [-]th, there is no food at home, and if there is a daughter, they will start a fire at the daughter's house. If there is no one, they will ask for a liter of rice outside.

Lei Huang went to the village to ask for rice and vegetables, and Jiang Yu couldn't swallow that meal. He was affected by the sadness emanating from the other party, and he became heavy for no reason.

He was even more speechless than when the titular mother left.

This year passed hastily, and the sky after the next year did not warm up all of a sudden, and it was still so cold that it made people lose all hope.

Lei Xun still went in and out of the fields as usual, and no one in the village knew how much Mrs. Lei's death had hit Lei Xing, including Jiang Yu who slept with him every day.

One night, Jiang Yu and Lei Yan tidied up Mrs. Lei's room. Looking at the two black and white photo frames on the table, Lei Yan's whole body trembled. He squatted down, as if all his strength had been taken away. A choked sob came out of the trembling throat.

Jiang Yu's hand touched it, and Lei Huang's face was cold. Before he could think about how to speak, he heard a cry that was close to a howl and exploded in his ears.

Lei Huang rubbed his face against Jiang Yu's neck, and the tears trickled down the corners of his eyes into Jiang Yu's warm chest.

"It's okay." Jiang Yu put his hand around Lei Huang's shoulder, rubbed his hair like Lei Yan usually did, and patted him lightly on his trembling back a few times.

Lei Xun cried for a long time, releasing all the suppressed sadness, which could penetrate into people's hearts so intensely and truly, Jiang Yu kept saying in Lei Xan's ear that it was okay, when he got up his legs were numb, he was half-struck by the other party. Hug and half help out.

After more and more greens appear in the mountains, people no longer feel so sorry for Mrs. Lei, who is busy with the trivial matters of various families.

Jiang Yu finished eating the food in his mouth, "Follow me to City A."

Lei Yan lowered his head to pick up the rice, and put the meatballs on the rice head into Jiang Yu's bowl, without making a sound.

"Don't you want to see my family?" Jiang Yu put it another way. In fact, he didn't know who the original owner's family was, let alone whether he could accept and accommodate this man who came out of the mountain.

Without waiting for a reply all day, Jiang Yu propped himself up on his elbow at night, and put one leg across Lei Yan's body, "Do you want to go back with me?"

Lei Yan supported Jiang Yu's butt to prevent him from sliding down, "Big city, not good."

Under the temptation of material things, people's hearts are complicated and changeable, full of calculation and indifference everywhere, he doesn't like it.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to return to his hometown.

"There is me in a big city." Jiang Yu said a few words out of his mouth impatiently, put his hand on Lei Yan's chest, and sighed between the lines, "You can't expect me to be here with you for the rest of your life, Lei Yan, I have family."

Lei Yan was stunned, he was suddenly a little confused, but subconsciously wrapped around the person on his body, his only thought was that he couldn't let go.

"Relax a little bit." Jiang Yu ordered in pain, lying on his stomach without moving.

The two hugged quietly for a while, lips.The tongues touched together, and they kissed directly without any temptation.dense.none.entanglement.around.

A few days later, Lei Yan packed the leftover bacon sausage and some salted fish, salted chicken and salted duck in woven bags, and gave the rest to the neighbors, and asked them to help look after the house, although it was nothing valuable. stuff, but this old house has so many memories.

Jiang Yu looked at his busy packing things, raised the corners of his lips, and leaned over to help.

"You don't need to bring these, you can buy them." Jiang Yu took out the jar with a small opening in the bag, and stopped Lei Yan who was stuffing toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, scraper, pliers and other odds and ends in it. , "Are you planning to move your family there?"

Seeing him pursing his lips and not speaking, Jiang Yu waved his hands helplessly, "Forget it, you can take it if you want."

Lei Huang frowned, picked up some of them and put them back where they were, and took some sharp corners to his side to prevent Jiang Yu from touching them.

The two of them had been busy all morning, and there were a lot of bags and bags on the ground. Jiang Yu patted each of them with a dark face. He was very heavy and was struggling. He glanced at the man who was wiping the photo frame with a rag, feeling powerless. feel.

On the day they left, everyone in the village came out to see them off, Xuemei was also inside, and Jiang Yu kept watching Lei Huang, fearing that he would show a tangled expression when he left the ground under his feet, but he didn't, and remained calm as usual.

Xuemei sent Jiang Yu and Lei Yan to the foot of the mountain all the way, "Where are you going?"

Lei Yan said, "City A."

Xuemei was taken aback, she looked straight at Lei Yan, and asked a question that she already knew the answer to, "Will you come back after sending him back?"

She has a faint hope, is it possible...

While Xuemei was still fantasizing, she heard Lei Min's deep voice, she smiled panickedly, and looked at the young man next to him.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and walked aside with her.

"I didn't expect him to leave here for you." Xuemei frowned, "If your family doesn't like him and dislikes his conditions, please let him come back."

Jiang Yu took out his hands from his pockets, stroked the hair that blocked his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile, "If he wants to leave my side, I will agree."

I'm afraid he won't leave, Jiang Yu and Xuemei both know this.

"City A is too far away from his world, and also unfamiliar." Xuemei's voice was pleading, "You have to give him time to adapt."

Jiang Yu looked at the woman in front of him losing control of his emotions, and his raised lips were a little cold, "He is not suitable for you."

But without your appearance, he is suitable for me, Xuemei smiled wryly in her heart.

"He treats you so well, it makes me jealous." Xuemei said to Jiang Yu's back, "Please don't abandon him."

Jiang Yu's footsteps stagnated imperceptibly, and then he quickly connected.

Xuemei stood there waving her hands, smiling with tears all over her face, "Bon voyage."

The moment Lei Yan got on the tractor and left the county, something flickered in Lei Yan's downcast eyes. He clenched the hands of the people around him, using all his strength, and his protruding knuckles turned blue and white.

"Lei Yan, my name is Xia You." Jiang Yu said with his head sideways, "Life and death are at stake."

"Remember." Lei Yan pursed his lips lightly.

"What do you want to do when you go to City A?" Jiang Yu's eyes were narrowed by the wind.

Lei Yan already has an idea, he will find a job as a security guard in the community or company where this person lives, so that he can guard every day.

"I'm still penniless now." Jiang Yu said teasingly.

Those words sounded like "You want to support me" to Lei Yan, and the contours of his face gradually softened, and he put the hand in his palm into his pocket.

After spending about ten days on the road, Jiang Yu and Lei Yan stood on the side of the road in City A, smelling the exhaust of passing cars, and their footsteps were still a little weak.

Looking around, it is extremely bright and dazzling, the vision is blocked by towering buildings, the air is filled with turbid smell, and even the sky is not that wide.

Like everyone who just came to City A, Lei Yan was a little cautious, and the two woven bags in his hand were deeply scratched.

"Ding, congratulations to Mr. Jiang for completing the side mission."

With the reminder sound in his mind, the fog dissipated immediately, and all the memories became clear one by one.

The Xia family occupies a piece of fat in city A, and is the founder of the top ten Baiyuan Supermarket Co., Ltd. in the country. Xia You is the youngest of the Xia family.

His parents were both businessmen. There was an older brother and a second sister. The second sister suffered from heart disease since she was a child and was receiving treatment abroad.

The eldest brother married the daughter of the Dashang Group, and worked as the general manager of the company. He lived a prosperous life and was one of the figures paid attention to by the financial weekly and the media.

"Ding, there are two main tasks. One is to obtain the company under his name from Yuan Xiuqi of HM Company."

Yuan Xiuqi, Jiang Yu wrote down the new name, "Two?"

"The second is the target, Lei Yan." There were two beeps on the other end of the system, and then fell silent again.

"Yeah." Jiang Yu waited for a while, and he asked with a sarcasm, "Did you get a blue screen or crash or garbled characters?"

After a long time, Kazkaz sounded in the crisp voice, "Ding, once Mr. Jiang completes the task, he will know later."

Jiang Yu sneered in his heart, "Damn, are you playing with me?"

"Drip—" This time it really crashed.

Seeing that Jiang Yu was silent all the time, Lei Huang put two woven bags on one hand, and with the free hand, he smoothed the wind-torn hair on Shun Jiang's forehead.

His thoughts were pulled back by the rough and warm touch on his forehead, before the hostility in Jiang Yu's eyes had time to subside, he was caught by Lei Yan, his eyebrows frowned, suppressing the doubts and weirdness in his heart.

The two walked along the road, and were looked at by the surrounding pedestrians with contempt or ridicule.

There were also some young girls who were interested in Lei Yan's mature and serious face and his attire as a migrant worker, and took pictures with their mobile phones.Bo, by the way, quickly Aite a group of friends.

Lei Yan's first impression of this city was disgust. He thought, if it wasn't for this person beside him, he wouldn't have set foot here.

Walking to a bench in the park, Jiang Yu took off the bag on his back and gave a fart.He sat up on the buttocks and took a breath, and went back to Xia's house tonight.

Fortunately, Father Xia and Mother Xia never gave up on looking for Xia You. He would not be looked down upon when he went back. Jiang Yu glanced at Lei Huang from the corner of his eye. How should this man explain to them?

friend?benefactor?Jiang Yu gnawed.With a lower lip, he remembered the countermeasure.

Lei Huang didn't know what Jiang Yu was thinking, so he took out a water glass from his bag, unscrewed it and handed it to Jiang Yu.

After drinking two sips of cold water, the anger in Jiang Yu's body was extinguished a lot. He tapped his fingers on his legs and looked around, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing Jiang Yu's anxiety, Lei Yan frowned, patted the back of his hand, and tried to straighten out the words in his mouth, "Where is your home?"

"It's a bit far from here." Jiang Yu touched the hard callus on the tiger's mouth of Lei Yan's right hand, scraped his nails twice, "I have to take a few buses."

He still didn't want to hit the taxi, and took out all the change in his pocket, probably only stopping halfway.

And when Lei Huang just arrived, he needs money everywhere.

"Are you hungry?" Lei Yan asked worriedly.

Jiang Yu shook his head, his mind was full of Yuan Xiuqi from H&M Company, he was cunning, strategic and courageous, he was a hard-to-handle old fox.

Under the sun, with the warm wind blowing, the two sat together with their shoulders next to each other, thinking about each other.

"Why are there so many people in the park?" Jiang Yu frowned, adults laughed and children cried one after another, he was extremely impetuous by the noisy noise around him.

"Weekend." Lei Yan said, he stretched out his finger and pressed on the area between Jiang Yu's eyebrows, smoothing away the long marks on it.

This scene was seen by a young couple passing by. They exchanged glances with each other, and they all showed disgusted expressions at the same time, and hurried away, as if they had seen such a dirty thing.

Jiang Yu snorted mockingly, homosexuals are not three-legged monsters, just like anyone else.

"Don't be sad." Lei Yan also noticed the eyes of the two young men and women.

"Do I look sad?" Jiang Yu pulled the corners of his lips, showed an unscrupulous smile at Lei Yan, and kissed him on the chin.

Lei Huang was stunned, "Nonsense."

It literally means to blame, but the joy in the eyes is just the opposite.

After more than half an hour, Jiang Yu felt in the pocket of Lei Yan's coat that was close to his chest, took out two one-hundred sheets and stuffed them, "I'm going to find someone, you wait for me here, I'll be back soon , and then we go home together."

Lei Xun sat on a chair in the park, from the moment of sunshine to dusk, and then to the night when the sky fell and the darkness penetrated, he was pointed at like a fool.

He has never seen the figure of that person, his face is extremely ugly, disappointed and bitter of being deceived, and there is a trace of frightening anger.

We agreed to go home together.

A patrolling security guard came from the path on the left, and swept his flashlight over, "Who is it? What are you doing?"

Lei Huang's eyes stayed on the direction where Jiang Yu left in the afternoon, as if he was frozen, he looked intently, for fear of missing Jiang Yu's figure, as if he didn't hear the sound.

The security guard saw a well-built man alone in the park, with two large woven bags and bags at his feet, and he kept silent. His behavior was really strange. His face was vigilant, his voice was raised, and his tone was very aggressive, " I'm asking you something!"

"I, I'm waiting for my daughter-in-law." After regaining his senses, Lei Yan stretched out his hand to block the light shining on his eyes, he stood up and rubbed his hands on his pants, and explained in a stuttering manner, daughter-in-law, run away.
