inherent gravity

It's been going on for three days.Kou Xiao barely ate a grain of rice, except for an occasional sip of water, he just sat by the window in a daze, as if he had merged with the wall, even his face was white.

Kou Xiao's eyes moved, and he finally raised his head slowly. When he met Mu Qing's tear-filled eyes, the expression on his face finally changed a little. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile to comfort him, but unfortunately he still Failed.Because of his long expressionless face, the muscles of his entire face have become a little stiff now, and even the simple movement of raising his eyelids seems a little difficult: "...Sorry."

"Have some porridge...to warm your stomach." Mu Qing held a small bowl in his hand, it was millet porridge that had been boiled for a long time, it was thick and fragrant, you might be able to swallow it if you eat it slowly .

Kou Xiao took the porridge bowl, picked up the spoon mechanically, and slowly sent the porridge to his mouth. Although it smelled delicious, it still tasted tasteless when he put it in his mouth. He couldn't bear it after only eating half a bowl Put it down: "...enough."

"Eat more, okay?" Mu Qing's eyes seemed to be pleading, but Kou Xiao still shook his head: "No, I can't eat."

He himself doesn't remember whether he was so sad that he couldn't eat, maybe he did, or maybe he didn't.

...But the old man would really catch up and come to torture him, even if he died, he would have no peace.

Kou Xiao propped up his temples hard, and when he saw Mu Qing cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, he suddenly had a headache, and even the place where he was propping up was throbbing with pain.Maybe it was because the nerves that had been stretched for too long were so tight that they couldn't stretch anymore, or maybe it was when he finally regained his senses and looked at everything in the house, the overwhelming sadness and despair rolled over and wrapped him up layer by layer. By the way, he slapped his face.

The window sill under the slanting sunlight, the warm food on the stove.People may be ignorant when they die, but when they return to a familiar place and see familiar scenes, they finally realize that the person is no longer there.

Kou Xiao gritted his teeth and trembled violently.When he just drank the porridge, he subconsciously wanted to say, remember to keep a bowl, the old man likes his porridge.

Just as Mu Qing finished washing the dishes, he suddenly heard a suppressed cry. Before he could dry his hands, he quickly turned his head and saw Kou Xiao squatting in a corner by himself, his back facing him and trembling constantly.

"Cry out, it will be much better if you cry out." Mu Qing had calmed down a lot at the moment, but her eyes were red in an instant.

His hands were cold, but the tears dripping on the back of his hands were hot.

"I'm sorry..." Kou Xiao murmured, the first real tears streaming down his face, and the first time he was so sad that he lost his voice and felt nauseous.

A week ago, when Kou Xiao and Mu Qing stumbled to the scene, Lao He had already been salvaged and laid aside, and a fertilizer bag was temporarily used to cover his whole body. And a slightly hideous face.

At that time, there were a lot of onlookers, and the police and reporters also came, but the only ones who were not there were the child that He Lide saved with his life, and the child's mother.

Mu Qing only heard later that when the child who fell into the water was pushed up, his mother called the police immediately, and then took advantage of the chaos of the crowd to lead him away in a panic, making a lot of noises. None left.

No thanks, no apology, just a selfish and indifferent heart that is afraid of being responsible, it is even colder than the old He Weihan's bones.

Although the mother and son were finally found under investigation by reporters and the police, when she met the family of the deceased, the mother was only full of fear and trembling when she spoke: "I'm sorry...I'm really sorry. .....The child at home is still young, and we still have to support him in school..."

Lao He died, he died to save her family's children, a weakened life is continuing in another way, but now when he came to the door, he was only faced with fear and panic on his face, Kou Xiao felt heartbroken for a moment. all dead.

If Mu Qing hadn't stopped him stubbornly, he really wanted to punch this woman hard in the face, no matter if it was a man or a woman, he would have wanted to wake up this cold-hearted thing with all his strength, and asked her with red eyes Do you have a heart?

But when he looked at the face that was pale and swollen from the water, he couldn't say anything.

Mu Qing knelt beside Lao He with him, and the surroundings were quite noisy. The police yelled to drive away, the crowd was discussing enthusiastically, and the shutters of the cameras were intertwined.But like Kou Xiao, he couldn't hear anything at the moment.

"dad......"

He suddenly heard a hoarse voice from the side, and Mu Qing opened his eyes wide with tears.

"Dad." Kou Xiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, I didn't let you have a good day." Kou Xiao's face was dry, but his forehead was scratched by the rough ground, bleeding: "I'm sorry."

"He's not my dad."

"It's said that I was picked up."

"He's not bad-tempered...just a little too quick-tempered."

"Remember...be nice to Xiao Qing, he is a good boy."

Kou Xiao ruthlessly kowtowed three times on the ground. Although he didn't shed tears, his eyes were terribly red.

"sorry."

......

Sitting on the ground and crying like a child until he was exhausted, Kou Xiao finally recovered his breath, stood up and went to the toilet to wash his face. Although his eyes were still sore, swollen and uncomfortable, the blocked energy in his heart Finally, it was loose, and gradually I was able to see some other things.

"Brother Kou." He heard Mu Qing calling him, and suddenly opened his arms to him from a distance, and said with a tearful smile, "Hug one."

Yes.Lao He is gone, he still has Mu Qing, who is also on top of his heart.

Kou Xiao walked over, hugged him firmly in his arms, and rubbed his hands vigorously on his back: "Xiaoqing..."

"I only have you." He closed his eyes, and tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.

The two hearts were beating together through the fabric and flesh, and Mu Qing also hugged him very hard, and whispered in his ear: "Me too."

We are still alive, no matter how difficult it is, we must live while losing.

Even if we only have each other left.

The tea was cold, but life still had to go on. That day, when the two of them had just finished cleaning the house and were about to go shopping, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Kou Xiao frowned.

"I don't know...I'll go and have a look." Mu Qing just opened the wooden door when he saw a pale and thin man standing in front of the house.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Mu Qing asked politely.

"Is this... Teacher He Lide's home?" The man spoke very softly, his pale face looked sickly, his mental state was not very good, and he didn't know what disease he had.

"Who are you looking for?" Kou Xiao came over and opened the door, and stared at this person up and down with a somewhat unkind expression.

The moment the man saw Kou Xiao, he was a little unsteady and helped the door frame.

"Is this... Teacher He's home?" He coughed, looked into Kou Xiao's eyes and said slowly:

"Hi, I'm Li Siyuan."

The author says:

It's a bit rushed, but an important person has finally appeared. If you don't know who he is, please turn to (48).

I’m going out to eat with my friends today, the next chapter may be delayed until the day after tomorrow

Chapter 57

◎"You are not worthy." Kou Xiao said. ◎

"Li Siyuan?" Kou Xiao frowned.

"Li..." Before he could pronounce this familiar yet unfamiliar name a second time, he raised his head abruptly.

When people are impulsive, their subconscious actions are always one step ahead of their brains.

Before the anger and blood surged into his brain, Kou Xiao swung his fist without even thinking about it, and hit the man's face quickly and hard, even creating a gust of punch in the air- -

"What are you doing here?!"

Mu Qing was stunned for a while by the sudden turn of events in just a few words, and then he reacted and rushed forward to separate the two people who were entangled together -- but it was an entanglement, and the whole process was only the man named Li Siyuan. Passively beaten, punch after punch hit the body without making a sound, even without the basic movement of raising his hand to cover, he just staggered back a few steps and then bent over in pain.

"Get out!" Kou Xiao kicked him on the calf, his eyes were so gloomy that Mu Qing couldn't help shivering.

The man's thin body was directly kicked to the ground by this kick. Fortunately, Mu Qing was present at the time, otherwise Kou Xiao would have let him hit the ground hard twice: "Who told you to come!"

Kou Xiao roared, feeling that the blood all over his body rushed to his brain like crazy, and even the hand he swung violently just now felt numb for a while.

"Kou... Kou Xiao." Li Siyuan struggled on the ground for a long time before he climbed up with the help of the wall. His face had been broken by fists in several places, and there was still a steady stream of bright red blood coming from his nasal cavity. It gushed out, and before it could cover it, it fell to the ground drop by drop.Although the whole person looked embarrassed, but his slightly swollen face still spoke clearly: "Is that you?"

Kou Xiao said nothing with a sullen face, but just as he was about to step forward, Mu Qing pinched his arm so hard that his nails almost sank into his flesh: "What's wrong? What's wrong!"
