Hollow wind

You said it yourself. When you are a hundred years old, you still want to watch fireworks together.

For Jiang Xiu, the place where fireworks and firecrackers were set off in the suburbs was very familiar.

During the Chinese New Year this year, he spent many nights there.

Now that the current year is over, those who go to school, those who go to work, this place has long since lost the excitement during the Chinese New Year, the venue is pitch-black, only three or four children living nearby are playing cannonballs.

Because the flow of people has decreased by half, the business is deserted.It was less than nine o'clock, and there were only a few scattered lights left in the surrounding snack shops that were open until late at night during the Chinese New Year, and they stubbornly persisted.

Fang Yunwan stopped the car, but did not unlock the door.He glanced at Jiang Xiu who had put down the passenger seat, half lying on the seat with his eyes closed, and then looked at the scattered shops from a distance, and persuaded: "We don't have fireworks, and the shops here are also closed. Go back, come back next time."

Jiang Xiu curled his hands to his lips and coughed a few times, propped himself up and sat up slowly: "Open the door, come with me."

The small store along the street is in a good location. Even though the fireworks are off, there are still pedestrians buying some drinks and snacks, so the store is still open and has no plans to stop today's business.

The TV in the canteen is playing the latest popular dramas, and the proprietress unpacks melon seeds while watching the dramas while eating.When Jiang Xiu approached the door familiarly, the actor in the TV series was seriously injured and his life was in danger. Watching the TV.

"Boss, are there any fireworks?"

Jiang Xiu tapped lightly on the glass counter, and the proprietress, who was about to cry for the male lead in the TV series, came back to her senses, raised her eyelids and glanced at where the voice came from.After seeing Jiang Xiu from the corner of her eye, she immediately turned her eyes away from the TV and stood up abruptly: "Oh! Xiao Jiang is here? Long time no see."

It's been a long time.

The last time Jiang Xiu came back to her shop to buy fireworks was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

At that time, he had just learned that Fang Yunwan was still alive, and he made up his mind to try his best to rescue Fang Yunwan. At that time, Fang Yunwan was still in Bai Ming's hands, and the people who were imprisoned around here did not know where. In a house, Bai Ming hadn't escaped at that time, Song Zheng hadn't planned to fight to the death, and Xu Luyao was still angry at that time and didn't go home with Cheng Sheng, insisting on staying in the guest room of Jiang Xiujiahe's house .

In less than a month, things have changed.

Jiang Xiu took a deep breath, couldn't help coughing a few more times, and repeated in a hoarse voice: "Are there any fireworks?"

"You came just in time, and there are more than 20 pieces left. I thought that the first month will be out soon, and no one will come to buy them. I plan to return them to the factory in two days."

They followed the proprietress to the warehouse to check, and there were a total of 22 pieces left;

22 pieces of fireworks is not a small amount, Jiang Xiu paid without blinking and cleared the inventory for the proprietress.The proprietress found a small delivery cart and asked Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan to push 22 pieces of fireworks to the open space.

After unloading the goods, the children who were playing and throwing cannons in the open space just now disappeared.The proprietress looked around, and asked Jiang Xiu enthusiastically: "The children have started school, and few of them are playing crazy outside at this time. You want to light fireworks yourself so much?"

Jiang Xiu nodded: "Well, I'm with my friend."

"Then do you know how to order it?"

The proprietress just asked casually, but Jiang Xiu was really stunned. He looked down at the more than 20 square boxes on the ground for a while, and then shook his head helplessly.

Fang Yunwan, who was standing beside him, looked at his rare appearance of honestly shaking his head and admitting defeat, couldn't help but burst out laughing, took the lighter from the proprietress, and said with a smile: "Thank you, don't count on him, I'll come point."

The lady proprietress smiled as she supported her cart, "Okay, okay, then you guys have fun, I'll go first."

After the proprietress left, Fang Yunwan asked Jiang Xiu to find a place to sit and rest on the stone steps next to him. He moved two boxes of fireworks by himself and walked seven or eight meters away. It's a joke.

Jiang Xiu shouted from a distance behind him: "Be careful."

Responding to him, Fang Yunwan took out the lighter from his pocket, and was about to light the fuse, when he suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiu had a bad heart, so he put the lighter away again, and walked a long way with the two boxes of fireworks in his arms, until he was close to On the other side of the field, it was placed, and the lead wire was pulled out again, and it was carefully ignited.

He purposely pulled the lead wire very long, and when Mars jumped, he began to turn around and run back.

Sitting on the stone steps, Jiang Xiu squinted his eyes to see Fang Yunwan running towards him quickly, feeling both joy and depression in his heart.

He has always been chasing Fang Yunwan's steps, he took 99 steps towards Fang Yunwan, and Fang Yunwan seemed unwilling to take even the last step.

Finally one day, he stayed where he was, watching Fang Yunwan galloping towards him, he wanted to take a step to embrace him, but he didn't even have the strength to take this step.

The two of them seem to have been playing a boring chasing game, and they are destined not to meet each other and hug each other tightly.

The distance was not too far, but Fang Yunwan ran so hard that he couldn't help panting slightly. When he stood in front of Jiang Xiu, his chest heaved a little violently.

He seemed to want to say something to Jiang Xiu, but he breathed a sigh of relief, before he could speak, he heard a "bang" behind him, and Jiang Xiu's pale face in front of him was reflected in colorful lights.

Fireworks were launched into the sky one after another, and the long-silent night sky was once again dyed with colorful colors.

Fang Yunwan sat down next to Jiang Xiu, leaned gently on his shoulder, looked at the fiery trees and silver flowers all over the sky, and suddenly remembered the few days when he was confined in a room during the Chinese New Year, through the small ventilation window, he saw the few flowers fireworks.

There are only a few small shops nearby. During the Chinese New Year, many of the fireworks set off by the children are probably bought from this store. The shape and color of the fireworks are very similar to the ones set off today.

He raised his head, rested his chin on Jiang Xiu's shoulder, and said to him, "Jiang Xiu, my house in Bai Mingguan was near here at that time, and I could often see fireworks from the window at night."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiu responded lukewarmly.

The fireworks that rose into the sky one after another lit up the night, and Jiang Xiu glanced sideways at Fang Yunwan.

Fang Yunwan's hairy head was rubbing against his ear, very close to him, colorful flames reflected in his bright black eyes, shining brightly, and an irresistible brilliance appeared from the fluffy eyelashes.

Jiang Xiu couldn't help but raised his hand to rub Fang Yunwan's fluffy hair, and asked, "Then are you happy?"

"what?"

"I said, when you were locked in that house, you could see the fireworks, wouldn't you be happier?"

Fang Yunwan nodded, buried his head in Jiang Xiu's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I missed you and worried about you at the time. I was locked there, and there were very limited things I could do, except to secretly record Song Song with my mobile phone. Zheng and Bai Ming conspired to kill you, I can only treat the fireworks every night as shooting stars and make a wish on them."

"What wish did you make? Did it come true?"

"It came true." Fang Yunwan tightened his arms around Jiang Xiu's waist, "At that time, I hope we can meet again, and I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang Xiu's voice was low and gentle: "I never really blamed you."

Fang Yunwan was depressed: "I know. That's why I appear to be petty and narrow-minded."

Jiang Xiu rubbed Fang Yunwan's hair, smiled lightly and said, "Correct if you know your mistakes, you're still a good boy."

In a few words, the two boxes of fireworks have been burned out, and the night sky has returned to calm.Fang Yunwan got out of Jiang Xiu's arms, ready to take two boxes of fireworks and light them in the distance.

As soon as he stood up, he saw the proprietress of the canteen hurriedly walking towards them, so Fang Yunwan stopped what he was doing.

The proprietress took a few banknotes in her hand, nodded to Fang Yunwan as a greeting, and walked straight to Jiang Xiu: "Xiao Jiang, I didn't know until my guy came back that you still have money left over to buy fireworks during the Chinese New Year." The children are all in school, and there is no stock in my store, and the remaining money will be refunded to you."

Jiang Xiu propped himself up on the ground and stood up slowly, but he didn't intend to reach out to pick it up: "Keep it, you have helped me a lot, and this is also my heart."

"We are just selling things, where can we help?"

Jiang Xiu looked over the proprietress's shoulders and looked at Fang Yunwan who was standing behind her, smiling warmly: "Fireworks are set off to make a friend who can't go out happy. He told me that he saw When the fireworks are in progress, I am happy. So I want to thank you and the children who helped set off the fireworks."

Jiang Xiu insisted on not wanting the money back from the proprietress, and Fang Yunwan also helped Jiang Xiu persuade the proprietress to take it back.

In the end, the proprietress agreed to accept the money for the time being. During the Chinese New Year next year, the nearby children will still be allowed to pick up the fireworks for free, and the price will still be deducted from the money until it is all deducted.

Such a solution can be regarded as a happy one. The proprietress left two cans of hot milk tea for the two, bid farewell to the two, and went back to close the shop.

There was no one around, and the splendor of the fireworks also died down temporarily. In the cold wind of early spring, there were only the rough and shallow breathing of Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan.

"Did you set off those fireworks during the Chinese New Year?"

The outsider walked away, so Jiang Xiu didn't have to force himself to straighten his back and stand, and then walked back to the stone steps and sat down slowly: "It wasn't me, I asked the children in the neighborhood to help put it away. At that time, Zeng Qing could only trace Now that you have been brought here, but which building and which room you are in cannot be locked for the time being, I just try my luck, thinking maybe you can see it."

"I'm lucky. I really saw it. Your kindness was not in vain." Fang Yunwan felt soft in his heart, reluctant to leave Jiang Xiu's side for half a step, and even walked to the other end of the venue with fireworks in his arms, feeling unbearably lovesick .

Jiang Xiu glanced at the person who rubbed against him, smiled and rolled him into his arms and kissed him: "I'm lucky too, my wish will come true."

"Jiang Xiu, how many things have you not told me?"

After saying this, Fang Yunwan suddenly remembered that when Jiang Xiu left the Songwen Building to coax him to set off the fireworks, he said that he had something to say to him. Seeing that two boxes of fireworks had been lit, this person didn't mean to talk about the business at all.

Thinking of this, Fang Yunwan sat up from Jiang Xiu's arms and asked, "Didn't you say that you have something to tell me?"

There is indeed something.

It's a big deal to say the least.

Jiang Xiu looked at Fang Yunwan, thought for a while, and said to him directly: "Director Liu has received yesterday's inspection report, and the main indicators have reached the standard. He said that surgery can be arranged in two weeks at the earliest. He suggests that we In the past two days, he will be transferred to Qiming Hospital to cooperate with him in the preoperative preparation."

Jiang Xiu's operation——

The operation they were all looking forward to and fearing.

Fang Yunwan was trembling uncontrollably, Jiang Xiu pressed him into his arms and hugged him tightly, patted his back to comfort him: "Xiaowan, be strong. Xu Luyao is out of control now, I can only rely on you Alright, can I?"

Fang Yunwan took a deep breath to calm down his complicated mood.When he sat up again, he straightened his back: "Don't worry, I can do it."

"Okay, you go to the car and get the file bag on the rear seat."

Soon, Fang Yunwan brought the kraft paper bag that Jiang Xiu mentioned, and sat beside Jiang Xiu, watching his pale and long fingers fluttering, unraveling the thread wrapped around the paper bag, opening the file bag, and took out a few files from inside. documents.

Jiang Xiu first handed Fang Yunwan a thicker document.

Through the faint starlight, Fang Yunwan saw two scorching words on the cover - "will".

As if being scalded, Fang Yunwan threw the document back into Jiang Xiu's hands, his lips trembling and his voice was unsteady: "You are going to get medical treatment, and you will recover soon, what are you writing this for!"

At this time, there is really no need to force him to watch this.Jiang Xiu's lawyer still has a copy of this will, and when it really comes in handy, someone will naturally contact Fang Yunwan.

So Jiang Xiu put the will back into the document bag, and handed out another thinner document: "It's fine if you don't want to read the one just now, but I hope you can think carefully about this one."

It was a power of attorney that had been justified.Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan did not have a legal marriage relationship. No matter how close the relationship was, they were not relatives in the legal sense. When Jiang Xiu was dying and unconscious, Fang Yunwan could not even sign the consent form for his operation.

Now, Jiang Xiu wants to unilaterally grant Fang Yunwan the rights that one partner has over the other in the marriage relationship.

As long as Fang Yunwan signs it, the authorization will take effect immediately.

From then on, when Jiang Xiu's life was on the line, Fang Yunwan could decide his life or his death.

This is a great trust, but also a great responsibility.

After going through so many things, Jiang Xiu still gave him unconditional trust.

Fang Yunwan's eyes were burning. He raised his head, met Jiang Xiu's expectant eyes for a moment, took the pen from Jiang Xiu's hand, and carefully signed his name on the designated place.

Jiang Xiu took back the documents with satisfaction, put the documents back into the file bag, and said: "Okay, let's go light the fireworks, there are still [-] more, and we have to sort them all out."

The night was dark and the night wind was cold. Fang Yunwan was worried that Jiang Xiu would catch a cold: "It's too late, order two more, and come back another day?"

"Director Liu asked us to transfer to another hospital for surgery in two days. Before the surgery, he won't let me leave the hospital."

Fang Yunwan pulled the zipper of Jiang Xiu's coat to the highest point: "Then I'll take these fireworks home and stock them up. When you recover from the operation, I'll celebrate your triumphant return. It's just right."

He talked to himself, but Jiang Xiu didn't pick up his words.

The wind in the wilderness stopped for a while, and there was a desperate silence all around.

"What if I can't come back?" Different from Fang Yunwan's sunny optimism, Jiang Xiu is a pessimistic person. He doesn't want Fang Yunwan to fall back to reality, and always throws him at the right time. Cold water all over your face.

"You have to come back! You said it yourself. When you are a hundred years old, you will go to watch the fireworks together."

It was obviously a joke, but Fang Yunwan remembered it clearly.

Jiang Xiu smiled helplessly, and gave Fang Yunwan a push: "Understood, let's go light the fireworks."

The [-] pieces of fireworks did not know how long they would be set off one by one. Fang Yunwan was anxious, so he simply moved all [-] pieces to a distant place. After lighting [-] pieces in the first round, he ran back and nestled in Jiang Xiu's arms. As the fireworks exploded one after another in the sky, I was overwhelmed and didn't even have time to catch my breath.

Jiang Xiu laughed at his lack of aesthetics, and blew up the night sky into a pot of porridge.

Fang Yunwan went her own way, and after the first round of fireworks burned out, she planned to do the same again.

It takes time to light ten fireworks in one go.While waiting for Fang Yunwan to come back, Jiang Xiu felt tired, and the scenery in front of him became blurred and shaken.

Under the brilliance of the stars and the moon, the shadow of the dead tree is a shallow layer on the ground, and when the wind blows, it opens its teeth and claws.Jiang Xiu felt that he was trapped in a hallucination, and those shadows seemed to come alive, approaching the place where Jiang Xiu was step by step.

Maybe Fang Yunwan was right, it was too late, it was time to go back and rest.

Jiang Xiu gently closed his eyes, and after a while, he heard footsteps coming from far and near.

Why did you come back so quickly this time?He didn't even hear the sound of fireworks exploding. Could this person be perfunctory in his impatience, and ran back without even lighting the sparks?

Jiang Xiu chuckled helplessly and slowly opened his eyes.

The person in front of him was not Fang Yunwan, his smile froze immediately: "Why is it you?"

The person who came did not respond to him. In the confusion, Jiang Xiu only felt a cold light flashing in front of his eyes.
