hibiscus past years

After resisting a few times, he was knocked down.They swung their sticks and were about to greet me on the head.My father also appeared out of nowhere and started fighting with them. "

"They were a bit measured. They knew that there was a grievance and a debtor. They didn't want to hurt my father, but just pushed him."

Liu Wenbin's eyes were red, and he couldn't quite see it under the light.He took a breath, and continued: "But no one expected that this push pushed him directly to the table. He hit his head on the stone on the table, and he bled on the spot. The blood that flowed from the back of his head was red again. There were more, and a large piece flowed out at once."

"Those troublemakers saw that they were about to die, so they ran away. By the time my brother and I took my father to the hospital, he had already..."

"He didn't wait for my wedding, but I held his funeral first..."

He choked for a while, couldn't continue, lay down on the table, and fell silent.

The house was apparently cleaned carefully after the incident, but it is unclear whether the Liu brothers or those who did the wrong thing were the ones who did the cleaning.The original bloodstains have been cleaned up, but the situation at the time of the incident was so serious that one can still see something from the blood-stained, blood-black floor that cannot be wiped off.I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the "stepping stone" that was the "culprit" was still left under the table, supporting one foot of the table, and together with the blood all over the floor, after witnessing the passing of life, in this empty house, quietly Quietly waiting for their own final destination.

A long period of tranquility.The two people in the room sat and stood, lowered their heads and raised their heads. At this time when the sky is cold and everything is silent, half the living room is separated, thinking about each other.

After a long time, Liu Wenbin raised his head, touched his face, glanced at the lit phone screen, and said to Gu Fengzhu: "You go back first, I'll pack up something before leaving."

There is nothing valuable in the house, and what needs to be taken away are nothing more than some meaningful relics, but that is someone else's past, and he has no right to peep.

But... still want to take something away.

He pointed to the stone whose original appearance could not be seen, and asked him, "This...can I take it away?"

Liu Wenbin glanced at the stone, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Anything you want."

Then Gu Fengzhu walked over, squatted down, picked out the stone that had been padded for more than twenty years, put it in the innermost pocket of his clothes, and took it away.

39. Say goodbye

◎"I want to eat apples, red ones, apples that can keep you safe."◎

When Gu Fengzhu came out, the sky was already dark.I didn't close my eyes all night, my eyes were a little sore, and my face was sticky, making me uncomfortable.Reach out and touch it, it's snow water.He looked down at his fingertips, his dull brain still thinking about where he should go.

I don't know why, my nose is sour, and my eyes can't help but steam, I blinked a few times, and two drops of water fell down.He pursed his mouth belatedly, it was salty, it turned out to be tears.

He sat blankly on the last flight of stairs, holding his curled legs with his hands, resting his chin on his knees, thinking about the past, a wrinkled and thin, vicissitudes but full of kindness and kindness of smiling face appeared in front of his eyes .His heart ached like a knife, his eyes dimmed, tears flowed down uncontrollably, to the corners of his mouth and into his mouth, salty and astringent.

Thinking of the past, there must have been a pair of warm and thick hands stroking my hair, pointing out the direction when I was confused, and sitting by my side when I was lonely, but now I can no longer feel this kind of comfort, this is a huge blow And unspeakable grief nearly knocked him down.

In a trance, someone put his hand on top of his head and patted him gently.He sobbed, wiped away his tears indiscriminately, looked over with hope, and a pair of black boots appeared in his sight.He looked up unresponsively, and saw his brother, that gentle and considerate man.

Shen Mujin squatted down, gently held his cheeks, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said distressedly: "Why are you crying?"

He saw the sadness and longing solidified between his brows, and watched the light in his eyes gradually dim, and his heart, which was also uncomfortable, became even more sad.Sighing, she gently pressed his head down, let him lean on her shoulder, and said softly: "Cry if you want to, don't be afraid, brother is here."

Gu Fengzhu's heart was cut like a knife and all thoughts were lost, he hugged Shen Mujin recklessly, grabbed the clothes on his back, tears welled up in his eyes.He couldn't control himself anymore, letting the tears flow wildly.He buried his head in the other side's shoulder, weeping uncontrollably.

He cried in sorrow and embarrassment, and vented the grief he had suffered these days in the form of tears.In the unusually quiet stairwell, only his low sobs echoed.

At the beginning of the morning, the sky is bright.

The crying in the corridor gradually subsided, and the tears dried up after crying for a long time, and no more tears flowed from my eyes.He felt that his eyes were dry and sore as if they had been exposed to the scorching sun, as if a thousand catties of iron had been hung on them, and they were too heavy to lift.He wanted to speak, but found that his throat was hoarse and sore, and he couldn't make a sound at all.He half-kneeled on the ground, with his hands propped on the icy ground, and began to cough uncontrollably, one after another, intermittently like the sound of broken wind, his face turned pale and he had difficulty breathing.

After a while, he finally finished coughing, sat back down, and breathed slowly.He heard footsteps at the top of the stairs, and he raised his head, seeing a glass of water steaming in front of him.

In this posture, he obediently drank the glass of water, and his sore throat immediately healed a lot, and he was able to speak.

"Brother." He grabbed the corner of his brother's clothes, tugged, and endured the pain and said, "My eyes hurt, my throat hurts, it's uncomfortable."

"Good boy, bear with it, go back and make some medicine for you, and the pain will be gone soon." Shen Mujin wrapped him up in a coat, then carefully carried him on her back, and said, "I'll carry you home, don't be afraid, brother take you home."

"...go home...brother...go home...home..."

He was lying on his back, his eyelids were heavy, his mind was in a daze, and he murmured unconsciously.

There is a mist all around, like the fog in the winter morning, hazy, reflecting everything in a misty and mysterious way.Gu Fengzhu didn't know where he was, he looked around in a daze, and a figure in the fog gradually became clear from far to near.

Even in the fog, the face full of ravines still feels familiar.He was wearing that plain gown that he had been wearing again and again. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he smiled, and when he smiled, his eyes were full of love, warm like spring breeze.A pair of dark and rough hands reached into his inner pockets and found something. He smiled even more happily, as if he had dug a gold mine.

With a kind face on his face, he took out his cocooned hands from his pockets, stretched them out to Gu Fengzhu's eyes, and slowly opened them.

Lying in that hand was a big red apple.There are a few drops of water on the peel, obviously just picked.

He stuffed the apple into Gu Fengzhu's hand preciously, smiled and motioned him to eat it.

As he got closer, Gu Fengzhu could also clearly see the strands of silver-like white hair hidden in the black hair but still clearly visible, as well as the slightly sunken eye sockets and a pair of dark brown eyes.

The surrounding fog was about to clear away, and the old man's body gradually faded.

He smiled and touched Gu Fengzhu's head, that smile was neither hypocritical nor blunt, nor did it seem like a natural joy, there was a strong reluctance and a touch of sadness between his brows.

He looked at him kindly, with countless blessings in his eyes.

Finally, at the last moment of leaving, he pointed to the apple in his hand and said something silently.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, don't forget to eat apples, stay safe."

Gu Fengzhu woke up from the dream, and sat motionless, not recovering from the weather-beaten face and the last words in the dream.

Something slipped from his eyes, he sat there for a while, then picked it up to look at it belatedly.

It was a wet towel with the scent of medicine floating in it. It was warm in the hand, and it was still steaming. It should have been changed not long ago.The door rang, and someone came in. Seeing that he was awake, he relaxed and said, "Are you awake? Does your throat still hurt? Get up and drink some water."

He turned his neck slowly, and saw his brother, holding a bowl in his hand, he didn't know what it contained.

"Come on, drink some sugar water first."

Shen Mujin warmed the sugar water, and Gu Fengzhu took a sip with a spoon.

Sweet, with a hint of pear fruit.

"Snow pear water with rock sugar?" He opened his mouth, only to realize that his throat hurts badly, and the sound he made was like the scraping of iron sheets, harsh and unpleasant.

"Don't talk yet. After drinking this, rest for a while, don't think about anything." Shen Mujin took off the wet towel and said, "After crying bitterly, it is better to forget the sad things so that you can carry the expectations of the dead. To live on. People always... have to experience parting."

Gu Fengzhu didn't move, he didn't know whether he was thinking about this sentence or missing something.

The sugar water is cold.Shen Mujin went to the kitchen to refill a bowl, and when she came back, the motionless man took his hand, held it firmly, raised her head and asked him: "Then... brother... Will you leave too?"

Shen Mujin put down the bowl, held his hand with both hands, said every word, solemnly and seriously: "I won't, only I won't. I will always be with you, you can confirm to me again and again."

Gu Fengzhu was finally relieved, and smiled for the first time in these days, relieved and relaxed.

He obediently drank the water, took the medicine, and lay back with a towel on.

The things on the eyes are hot and comfortable, but they need to be replaced constantly, which is very troublesome.He didn't know how long he lay there, feeling that there was someone guarding him all the time, getting up and sitting back again and again, and the things on his face were changed back and forth a dozen or twenty times.

After a while, he felt that his voice was much better, so he said, "Brother——"

The voice was hoarse, like the sound of torn rags, but it was obviously much better than before.

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Someone beside him responded immediately, took off the towel for him to dry the water on his face, and asked, "Are you hungry or do you want to eat?"
