look forward to

The old man got up a little unsteadily, and held Jin Chu's arm with his hands. Those hands were like withered branches, wrapped in a layer of skin. Only then did the two of them feel that she was thinner and smaller than they thought. Jin Chu Did not dare to let her go.

"Grandma, where are you going, let us help you."

The old man let go of Jin Chu's arm, reached out and patted him, "Good boy, grandma is fine, are you here to visit the patient? Don't delay, go quickly."

Jin Chu didn't want to lie, so he didn't speak for a while, Qin Mufeng took the old man's words, "It's okay grandma, the person we visited just now, he was discharged from the hospital."

"That's good, leave the hospital and be healthy."

The old man seemed to be answering Qin Mufeng's words, but it was more like talking to himself, and she fell into her own emotions again.

The three of them were silent for a while, and suddenly a nurse's voice came from behind, "Old lady, you are here, your son woke up and said he wanted to see you."

Hearing the word son, the old man pulled away from his emotions in an instant, turned around and ran to the back building. His thin and rickety body left Jin Chu and Qin Mufeng at an incredible speed. Followed and ran up.

Jin Chugang didn't pay attention to this building, but when he got closer, he realized that there were very few people here, and it could be said that there were almost no people in sight except the medical staff.

It was the inpatient building of the psychiatric department. The two stopped at the door, and the old man had already entered.

The nurse following the old man shouted, "Old lady, slow down, and be careful not to fall." She turned to look at Qin Mufeng and Jin Chu, "Are you the grandson of the old lady? Come in together."

The two did not deny it, and followed them into the building.

The elevator door made a heavy closing sound until it reached the 6th floor. The old man ran in a hurry, and Jin Chu followed behind him, "Grandma, please slow down."

The corridor was very deserted, and there were few people in the nurse station. Unlike other inpatient buildings, there were family members coming and going in the corridor, and Jin Chu felt a little heavy. Qin Mufeng took Jin Chu's hand and gently squeezed it to comfort him.

The nurse led the old man into the ward. Jin Chu and Qin Mufeng stood outside the door and did not go in. They should go back when the old man is fine.

But what is the relationship between Jin Mingxi and the people inside? Why does the old man hate Jin Mingxi so much, why is Jin Mingxi so domineering, and why his posture can even be called humble in front of the old man.

But these are obviously not things that can be asked. After the nurse withdrew, she took them with her. Seeing him standing outside, she asked, "Why don't you go in and have a look?"

Jin Chu shook his head and asked, "Is the person inside seriously ill?"

"You are his relatives. It's been a year, and no one has come to visit."

Jin Chu was silent, and the nurse went on to say, "Go and have a look, he is in a very bad condition, maybe seeing that you are in a better mood."

Qin Mufeng asked, "Can you tell us what kind of disease he is?"

The nurse sighed, "It's a very severe depression, and I can hardly leave people 24 hours a day. As long as I am awake, I want to commit suicide, and I have been stopped several times."

Jin Chu's heart trembled, and he looked at the old man sitting by the bed through the glass on the door, feeling very sad.

"Thank you nurse, we'll go in and see him later."

The two sat down on the rest chair next to them. The old man pointed out that Jin Mingxi was the culprit. In other words, the situation of the person inside was probably caused by Jin Mingxi. Jin Chu's head was buried in the palm of his hand. How many people is Jin Mingxi in the shadow of? , What else has this man done.

Qin Mufeng patted his back with his hand, as if smoothing the fur of a frightened kitten.

Time slowed down instantly, there was silence in the ward, and there was also silence outside the ward. After a while, there was a faint sobbing sound from inside. They were familiar with this sound because they had heard it downstairs just now.

"Xiaoqing, what do you want my mother to do, but that bastard is really not worth it. Mom begs you, let's not think about him, cheer up, okay?"

There was another cry, and there was silence.

After a while, a weak voice rang out, "Mom, I haven't missed him for a long time. When I recover, we will return to Shui County. I'm sorry to make you worry again."

Xiangshui County is Jin Chu's hometown. Jin Mingxi and Cheng Ya's home was in Xiangshui County.

It's been too long.

That day, Jin Mingxi went out to drink with someone again, and when he came back he was very drunk, Cheng Ya was cooking in the house, Jin Chu followed her, Jin Mingxi started yelling as soon as he entered the door.

"Bitch, where did you die again?"

Cheng Ya pulled Jin Chu to stay in the kitchen and did not dare to move, but Jin Mingxi heard the sound of the pot. He stumbled in, picked up the firewood prepared in front of the stove, and pulled Cheng Ya out from behind the stove. .

Cheng Ya was caught by his hair, and she burst into tears in pain. She looked at Jin Chu and squeezed out a normal smile. Jin Chu was almost three years old, such a small child, and then began to cry.

Jin Mingxi yelled viciously, "Little brat, I'm as annoying as your mother, if you cry again, I'll beat you too."

After finishing talking, Cheng Ya fell to the concrete floor of the living room with a dull sound. Cheng Ya's cry of pain was suppressed and broken. At first she could resist a few times, but soon she heard Jin Mingxi's heavier beating sound, accompanied by There was the sound of a stool being thrown.

After a long time, there was no movement in the living room, and everything was peaceful, except for Jin Chu, who was put in the kitchen by Cheng Ya, still crying brightly.

That night, when Jin Mingxi went out again, Cheng Ya changed Jin Chu into clean clothes despite her injuries all over her body, and told him to take good care of herself, although Jin Chu couldn't quite understand.

In short, Jin Chu didn't remember that night, maybe it was midnight, Cheng Ya disappeared, and Jin Chu didn't see her until the next morning, Jin Mingxi came back and made a big fuss.

Cheng Ya disappeared, Jin Mingxi's beating target disappeared, Jin Chu became a new target, but I don't know why, the stick in his hand did not fall after all, Jin Mingxi was still drinking and causing trouble, not doing business properly, after Cheng Ya left, the family land he They seldom care about it. Jin Chu and Cheng Ya are like the pigs raised in the pigsty. When Jin Mingxi thinks about it, he just gives them something to eat. If he can't remember it, forget it.

Over time, Jin Chu was no different from a pig, dirty and skinny.

Later, Jin Mingxi also disappeared, and Jin Chu, like the forgotten pig at home, would hum at first trying to find something to eat, but then he couldn't hum, or simply stopped.

The aunt who lived in the next village came to visit her bastard brother every now and then, and by the way to accompany her poor sister-in-law. The only people who greeted her that day were the two dead pigs in the pigsty, and the dirty pig lying at home. Jin Chu was breathless.

The world was quiet and absurd, and Jin Chu recovered a life that was not as good as a beast.

"Children, why did you follow me here?" The old man's old voice sounded.

Jin Chu came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, grandma, to bother you. I just saw that you were in a hurry, so I followed you to see, is your son okay?"

The old man smiled at them gently, "It's okay, why don't you go in and sit down when you're here? My son hasn't seen anyone else for a long time. He sees me as an old woman all day. If you don't mind, you can go in and talk to him."

Qin Mufeng said, "I'm going downstairs to buy some fruit."

The old man waved his hand, "This kid, why are you polite, go in, you young people can talk to him, it might be better, I have to go back and get something."

"Grandma, why don't I go with you." Qin Mufeng said.

"It's okay, it's in the staff dormitory building of the hospital, it's very close." The elderly may like to be lively when they are old, and they talk a lot when they are lively. "The doctors here are very good. I heard that there is a doctor here who went abroad to study. So I lent the vacant dormitory to me." As he spoke, tears began to well up in his eyes.

Jin Chu had no choice but to say, "Grandma, please slow down."

After the old man left, the two gently opened the door and went in.

The man on the bed looked towards them when he heard the voice, showing a surprised look, "Who are you?"

Jin Chu said, "We met grandma downstairs just now, and grandma said he went back to get something, let us talk to you."

The man raised his finger and pointed to the bed next door, "There are not enough stools, please sit on the empty bed next to you."

"Thank you."

They said they were chatting, but they didn't know what they were talking about. They were looking at each other. The man looked in his early 40s, his face was sickly pale. , when he was young, he was very handsome, he should be considered handsome, with a gentle temperament, and looked normal, not at all like a person who can't think about it at any time.

"What's your name?" The man looked at Jin Chu and asked.

"Jin Chu." He introduced Qin Mufeng by the way, "His name is Qin Mufeng."

"My name is Lin Qing, and I'm old enough to be your father, so please call me Uncle Lin."

"Little Chu, your surname is Jin? Do you know Jin Mingxi?" Lin Qing asked casually.

Jin Chu was a little nervous, but he still nodded.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just guessing. There aren't many people with the surname Jin. I've seen only one person with the surname Jin recently. Let me guess again. He doesn't know you are here."

Jin Chu nodded again, and Lin Qing suddenly smiled, "I knew it, it's great that you're fine."

Jin Chu was confused, "What did Uncle Lin say?"

"It's nothing, it's just nonsense. I think Xiao Chu and Xiao Qin have a very good relationship."

Qin Mufeng suddenly became vigilant all over, and uttered a monosyllable "Mmm."

Lin Qing didn't care about his indifference, "It's good. I had such a good friend when you were your age, but unfortunately they separated later. Uncle envies you both."

Qin Mufeng keenly felt that something was wrong, and he asked, "Why did you separate?"

Lin Qing turned to look at him, "Because of some things, but you are still young, you probably won't understand too much if you talk about it, it's all the past, let's not talk about it, I haven't been out for a long time, I'm very happy that you can come to see me. Thank you you."

A few people chatted about some innocuous topics, such as where the two of them went to school, how old they were this year, and what they liked. Lin Qing seemed very talkative, and Jin Chu couldn't imagine what kind of unresolved knots such a person had. Let him repeatedly walk into a dead end.

He didn't dare to ask questions rashly. Lin Qing, like his mother, seemed to be a very good person. He didn't want to sprinkle salt on his wounds. He didn't want to know about Jin Mingxi's questions.

The old man came back after going out for about 20 minutes. She pushed a simple wheelchair, looked at the three of them with a smile, and said to Lin Qing who was lying down, "The weather is fine, let's go down and get some air. I haven't been down for a long time."

Lin Qing smiled and said yes.

The two helped to move Lin Qing off the bed, only to realize that Lin Qing's lower body was paralyzed, no wonder he was lying on the bed without moving.

Jin Chu sighed in his heart.

Jin Mingxi, is everything really because of Jin Mingxi?If so, how should he face Lin Qing and his mother, a person with Jin Mingxi's blood.
