Reborn Son

Jiang Chenxi walked slowly towards the hotel, and after ordering food in the room, the phone rang.He picked it up listlessly, and Yao Yuli said angrily, "Jiang Chenxi, what are you brats doing in G City!"

Jiang Chenxi took the phone away and looked at the name on it, and it showed "Li Li", ==.

Jiang Chenxi sighed and said, "I have something to do."

Yao Yuli said: "Hey, what a big deal you can do, you nerd! Come back quickly! Don't do any more messy things!"

Jiang Chenxi pressed her forehead and said, "Brother, there really isn't one!"

Yao Yuli paused for a moment, probably pleased by the title, snorted, and said, "Your department didn't organize a collection, no, you'll be back by the first bus tomorrow morning."

Although he was really nagging, after all, he was the first person he met after wearing this body, so he still felt very caring, so he said: "I found news about my parents, look here."

Sure enough, Yao Yuli understood, and said in surprise, "Your parents? Really? In City G? So close?"

Jiang Chenxi was full of nonsense, and said, "Yes, but I'm not sure yet, so I can't tell you."

Yao Yuli breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Oh, that's good. If you have anything to do, call me, or I'll take a few days off to accompany you..."

"Don't!" Jiang Chenxi immediately said, with a hey smile, "No need, Ali, you have already delayed the class because of my business last month, really no need, I know you care about me, thank you, wait for the news Yes, I'll be right back."

Yao Yuli let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, take care of yourself and come back as soon as possible."

Jiang Chenxi reassured with an "Yes", and the two hung up the phone.

Jiang Chenxi threw the phone on the bed, feeling very tired.After a hasty dinner, I continued to search online on the old-fashioned computer in the hotel.However, apart from the news report I saw last time, the other contents are basically the same.

He did not believe that his mother-in-law would really commit suicide in the house holding his child.He still remembered that when Xiao Rou was just pregnant, his father-in-law and mother-in-law told him how to take care of the pregnant woman, how to make the pregnant woman comfortable, and made a nutritious soup for them every day... How could such a loving old mother hug her? How could her grandson commit suicide?

Jiang Chenxi took a deep breath, put her bag on her back and went downstairs for a walk again, running to the old house that was half demolished while no one was paying attention.

It was getting dark at night, no one saw him, and naturally no one came to stop him.

In the end, he lived here for three or four days, and when he ran there in a daze many times, he was stopped by a very old lady.

Jiang Chenxi looked back blankly, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

The old lady looked very vigilant, staring at him and said: "Who are you? I have seen you wandering around here for several days. What do you do? Are you going to start work and demolish this place again?"

But this young man looks too good, and he doesn't look like those scumbags.

Jiang Chenxi was inexplicably nervous. He grabbed the bag of the backpack tightly and said, "I'm sorry, I... I'm not demolition, I just... Just take a look..."

The old lady said coldly: "The people here have already moved away, why are you here?"

This is really a difficult problem. He doesn't know what he came to see.

Jiang Chenxi was depressed and said, "I don't want to see anything..."

The old lady stared at him suspiciously, and said, "I see you always go to No.17, where did you live before?"

Jiang Chenxi's expression was startled, NO.17 had already been burned to ruins, this old lady actually knew he was looking at NO.17?

Jiang Chenxi said carefully: "No, that..."

The old lady didn't look at him, but turned to the ruins, and said hoarsely: "I don't think you are familiar, you probably don't live there. When you get old, your memory will always be bad. But people are dead, what's the use of seeing?" ?”

Jiang Chenxi didn't speak, he carefully observed the old lady's appearance, and suddenly remembered!It's Grandma Chen, it's Grandma Chen!Grandma Chen who lives downstairs in his mother-in-law's house!

It's just... but it's only been four years, why are you so old?It turned out that Jiang Chenxi didn't recognize it for a while!

The old lady was still looking there in a daze, Jiang Chenxi felt bitter, and asked softly, "You... did you live there before?"

The old lady glanced at him and said, "Well, I've lived here for many years..."

Jiang Chenxi's lips trembled, and said, "Then...do you know a family named Ji?"

The old lady stared at him coldly, and said, "Who are you? Why do you ask such a question?"

Jiang Chenxi stabilized his mood and said, "I'm Chen Yang and Ji Xiaorou's friends. I haven't seen each other for many years...I just found out about them...their news..."

Although the old lady was still skeptical, her eyes had softened, and she said: "Oh, Yangyang and Xiaorou... These two children are grown up by me, but I have never seen such a good-looking friend as you... ..."

Jiang Chenxi was silent, the old lady leaned on a cane with one hand, sighed, lost her eyes, and said: "It's also a crime, what two children, the driver who killed a thousand knives killed a whole family... ..."

Jiang Chenxi held back the sourness in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma...can you tell me what's going on? I...I want to go and see them..."

The old lady looked at him with deep eyes, and Jiang Chenxi tried her best to be calm.

In the end, the old man said: "The sun is too strong, my body is old and I can't hold it anymore, let's go to my daughter's teahouse."

Jiang Chenxi was taken aback, and the old man turned around and said, "Aren't you coming?"

Jiang Chenxi nodded quickly.

The old lady led the way, walking very slowly, Jiang Chenxi endured it, and stepped forward to support the old man.

The old lady looked up at him, and Jiang Chenxi smiled at her.

The old lady didn't speak, and let him support herself.It turned out that the teahouse called "Yuanxiang" on the opposite side of the road was driven by the old lady's house, and she regretted seeing him come here every day.

As soon as Jiang Chenxi and the old lady came in, a middle-aged woman came up to meet her and said angrily, "Mom! You ran out again! Don't say anything, what if you get lost!"

The old lady didn't care, and said, "It's okay, I'm not demented yet."

The woman choked, and then she saw the young boy supporting her mother beside her, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said, "Mom, is this?"

The old lady dragged Jiang Chenxi upstairs and said, "Friend, I'll go up for a while, don't disturb me."

The woman smiled wryly, and said: "Yes, your friend is really getting older and older."

The old lady gave her a shy look, and the woman walked away with a smile.

The two went up to the second floor, and the old lady led him to sit down by the window.After a while, the old man's daughter brought out a pot of tea, filled them up for each of them, and said with a smile: "Mom, there are children, please use it slowly."

Jiang Chenxi smiled helplessly, does he look small?

The old man didn't answer his daughter's teasing at the moment, and looked out the window, facing the demolished house.

Jiang Chenxi's mood also sank and she didn't speak.

After a while, the old man said, "What's your name? Are you friends from Yangyang?"

Jiang Chenxi exhaled, and said, "Chenxi, my name is Chenxi, and Chen Yang used to live at the entrance of Er Hutong."

He remembers that when he was five years old, his parents divorced, and he was sent back to his grandmother's house by his mother to live for a while.

The old lady nodded and said: "It's been so long, it's hard for you to remember that Yang Yang looks careless, but he is actually very kind and treats Xiao Rou very well. The two elders of the Ji family are also very simple and honest people ah……"

Jiang Chenxi said, "Yes."

The old lady rubbed the teacup with her callused hands, and said, "When Yang Yang was five years old, his parents got divorced, so don't send him to the entrance of the alley. Xiao Rou has been crying and looking for him for a long time, where did you know each other?" of?"

Jiang Chenxi nodded bitterly.The old lady sighed, and said: "They are all caring children. These two children are also suffering. At that time, Xiao Rou had just given birth, and the little guy was less than three days old. Yang Yang brought food to the mother and son, I was hit by a car when I was crossing the road, the bastard drank alcohol, ran a red light, and ran into the person in front of me without seeing the person in front of me, and the person who was sent to the hospital was out of breath..."

The old lady's voice was hoarse, and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.Jiang Chenxi closed her eyes, took out a tissue from her bag, and handed it to the old man.

The old man took it and didn't speak.

After a while, she continued: "Xiaorou has been shy since she was a child, and her personality is also very introverted. When the masculinity just passed away, her mother was watching her every day, and she didn't dare to go anywhere. I also went to the hospital to accompany her. For a while, I didn’t know that the little baby jumped off the hospital upstairs and fell to her death in less than three months.”

Although he already knew it from the reports, Jiang Chenxi still felt terribly uncomfortable when he told the truth from people he knew, as if a hand was clutching his heart, making him breathless.

He swallowed his throat and asked dryly, "Did he die on the spot?"

The old lady nodded, and said: "This child is determined to give up. He jumped from the top floor and died on the spot."

Jiang Chenxi suppressed the roar from her throat tightly, and clenched her hands tightly into fists, the veins on the back of her hands turned blue from too much force.

The old lady glanced at him and said: "We are all very guilty about Xiaorou's matter, and her mother blamed herself for not keeping an eye on the child. But... For three whole months, she and Lao He basically didn't sleep Sleep peacefully, there will always be times when we are tired... We comfort her, the old neighbors take turns to take care of the little guy, this baby is also pitiful, she lost her parents when she was less than half a year old... We all feel sorry for her, everyone fights I have to take care of him... I have been an old neighbor for decades, how can I bear to..."

The old man stopped talking, his face was a little ugly, and he took a long breath.Jiang Chenxi hurriedly handed over the tea.

The old lady waved her hand and didn't drink, and said with red eyes: "Old Ji has a heart attack. These two children have accidents one after another, and they collapsed and were admitted to the hospital. Xiao Rou's mother entrusted the child to us, and then Went to the hospital to take care of the old man."

The old lady wiped her eyes, choked with sobs and said, "It didn't take long for Lao Ji to have a heart attack and he couldn't be rescued, so he went..."

Jiang Chenxi's voice tightened, and she said hoarsely, "Mother-in-law..."

The old lady wiped her eyes desperately with a tissue, and said, "He's dead too. After the funeral, Xiaorou's mother took the child back. We old people went to her house to accompany her for half a day every day. Later, I couldn't find her at the beginning...the police/police/bureau called and found out that she was at the hospital...At that time, I saw that my spirit was not stable..."

Jiang Chenxi asked softly, "What happened next?"

The old lady said: "Later...then one night, her house caught fire, and the little guy and she couldn't find it..."

Jiang Chenxi said: "...Didn't the child have a name?"

The old lady shook her head and said: "I didn't pick it up, Xiaorou wouldn't let me take it, she insisted on waiting for Yangyang to come back to pick it up."

Jiang Chenxi nodded with red eyes.

The old lady said: "We old people are not feudal superstitious people... It's just that Ji's family has accidents one after another, that child... hey."

Jiang Chenxi knew what she wanted to say. He died in a car accident in his previous life, then Xiaorou committed suicide, his father-in-law died, and then his mother-in-law went crazy, and set fire to the house in the middle of the night... His son was probably considered a scourge by them, right?

Jiang Chenxi didn't speak, the old lady seemed to feel guilty, and said, "It's really a sin to say that about a child under half a year old, but at that time, no one dared to take care of them."

Jiang Chenxi said softly, "Then they all disappeared?"

The old lady wept and said: "It is said that they were burned to death in the house, but the police also said that they might not be inside... We don't know... Maybe, maybe they are really not inside... Amitabha, God bless you .”

Jiang Chenxi looked out the window with blank eyes.

The old lady was wiping tears, and Jiang Chenxi was in a daze.

After a while, he asked: "Do you know where my... Chen Yang's tomb is? I want to go and see him."

The old lady nodded, her figure was quite hunched, she stood up tremblingly, and asked her daughter to write the address.

Jiang Chenxi stared blankly at the line on the paper. It was an ordinary cemetery in the suburbs of the city.

Before leaving, Jiang Chenxi stood up and bowed to the old man, saying, "Thank you." Anyway, thank you for helping Xiaorou's family back then.

The old man looked tired, and was supported by her daughter and waved her hand.

Jiang Chenxi left.

-

Jiang Chenxi didn't dare to take a taxi. This time he only had less than 1000 yuan in cash, and his bank card was in his wallet, but he didn't know the password or anything, and he didn't check how much money he had in his savings. He wanted to be a student, but he didn't have any parents. , should not be much.

So Jiang Chenxi took the bus to the outskirts of the city, and it was almost noon when he arrived. He filled out the registration form at the door, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated after entering.

Chen Yang's tomb was built together with Ji Xiaorou's and Xiaorou's father's. This cemetery is not big and the environment is very deserted.

He quickly found the three tombs. The melons and fruits on the ground had been dry and rotted for an unknown amount of time, and the tombstones were covered with a thick layer of ash.

In their family, three died, and the remaining two disappeared.No one came to see it.

Jiang Chenxi took out the lilies she bought on the road from her bag and put them in front of Xiaorou's grave, poured another glass of wine and put them in front of her father-in-law's grave.In the end, he looked at the face he had seen for 25 years in his memory, and didn't put anything.

Xiao Rou loved Lily the most when she was alive. When she first established a relationship with her lover, he would give each other roses at first, but the gentle girl happily accepted it every time, but after the relationship became more and more intimate, she quietly told him, She likes lilies.

So at that time, Chen Yang sent lilies instead.Chen Yang didn't think too much about why some girls like lilies but not delicate roses.His world is too big, with too many things to play with, and no time to think about it.

His wife was kind and gentle. They spent the best and most painful moments in their lives together, but both died when they were fathers and mothers.Leaving their children and mother behind, Jiang Chenxi wanted to shout angrily every time she thought of this.

He slowly sat down in front of the tomb, took out a tissue from his bag and carefully wiped every corner, bagged up the garbage and rotten fruits in front of the monument, and placed the new ones he bought again.

When he finished packing, the sun was almost setting. Jiang Chenxi took out his mobile phone to check the time, and it was almost four o'clock.

He sat on the ground and said: "In the previous life, you suffered with me, and in the next life, you will not be a lover."

He murmured, "Find a better man. I should be the bastard. How can our son afford this..."

With red eyes, he said, "Dad, I'm sorry..."

He stood up, took two steps back, knelt down facing the tombstone, and kowtowed three times.Standing up with the bag in hand, she said softly: "Xiao Rou, our child is not dead, I will go find him, and when I find him, I will bring him to see you, okay? Let me think about it... the little guy should be three years old. At the age of ten, he must be as handsome and handsome as me..."

He fell silent, and suddenly remembered that if his wife was still in front of him, he would already say coquettishly, "How can anyone praise himself like that, he is not shy." However, when he turned his head outside, he would be embarrassed to praise his husband, regardless No matter what she did, this woman was always tolerant and gentle.

When the sun went down, Jiang Chenxi went to her mother's tomb in the urban area again, cleaned up her mother's tomb, left when it was dark, and returned to the hotel with her bag on her back.
