love of life

Lin Zexi parked the car in a parking lot 500 meters away, because there was no regular parking lot where he rented a house, and such a good car would definitely be scratched and smashed if it was parked casually.Gu Ming was a little drunk, and he was unconscious at the moment, but he could still walk a few steps unsteadily.Lin Zexi supported him and walked crookedly in the dark, taking three steps and taking two steps back.The corridor was pitch-black, and the iron railings beside it were already rusted, and some places had been rotted and broken. The walls and floors were covered with various small advertisements, and the surrounding exuded an old and rotten atmosphere.The two struggled for more than ten minutes before finally entering the room.

This is an old apartment with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. It is very small and old. One-third of the paint on the wall has peeled off. The ceiling is covered with newspapers. Several corners have fallen off. If there is any movement, the newspapers will be opened one by one, disturbing people.There is a coffee table and a small sofa in the middle of the house, and an old-fashioned box-type TV set is placed in front of the coffee table. The paint of the old-fashioned wooden TV cabinet has almost fallen off, revealing the color of the original wood. After years of baptism, it has begun to turn black.Ze Xi glanced at the small two-seater sofa in the living room. It was less than 1.5 meters long. Gu Ming's tall body definitely couldn't fit him, so he had to help him into the back room and put him on his bed.

It was a 1.5-meter-wide double bed, which seemed a bit cramped in a small room.He has long wanted to change to a single bed, but has been reluctant to spend money.He gently placed Gu Ming on the bed, and it occupied more than half of the entire bed.He helped him take off his shoes, adjusted the pillow to a suitable position, covered the quilt, went to the living room and poured a glass of boiled water on the bedside.Then I took another blanket from the cabinet, and planned to make it up on the sofa tonight.

Dragging his tired body, he picked up a change of clothes and went into the bathroom, wanting to take a good shower and sleep.Today the water heater was blown again, and the water was not hot for a long time, and his stomach began to ache.He quickly took a shower with cold water, wiped off the water droplets on his body casually, and quickly jumped onto the sofa wrapped in a blanket to prepare for sleep.

He didn't eat anything tonight, and he was really hungry when he was waiting for Gu Ming in the car, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment, he was more dedicated to his work than the policemen who were stationed there.He kept staring at the door of the bar, and then he gradually lost his hunger. He had already forgotten about dinner, but his stomach did not forget.As soon as he lay down, there was a familiar churning in his stomach, which hit him from time to time accompanied by a throbbing pain, and the pain in his lower abdomen was pulled from his stomach.He is very familiar with this kind of pain, so familiar that he can predict the frequency of each throbbing pain in advance, although he is familiar with it, he has never been used to it.

Zexi got up clutching his stomach and turned on the water dispenser to boil a cup of hot water for himself. He filled a cup with a big cup and then turned off the water dispenser.He opened his mouth and drank two sips of hot water, his stomach felt a little warmer, and the pain eased. After more than ten minutes, he fell asleep in a daze.After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the pain again, this time the pain lasted longer, he got up again, boiled some hot water, and swallowed two pills, but it didn't help at all.Sweat dripped from his forehead one by one, and the T-Shirt he was wearing next to his body was completely soaked, and he curled up into a ball, lying on his side on the sofa with his hands on his knees.The only thing he can do now is to lie quietly and wait for the pain to subside.

He no longer remembers how many years the stomach disease has tormented him. His stomach has been weak since he was a child. If he doesn't eat well or eats something wrong, even just one more bite may cause pain.When I was a child, every time I had a stomachache, my mother took good care of me by my side, feeding me with water and food, and giving me a warm embrace.Later, with him by my side, even though we couldn't brazenly hug each other in the dormitory, he still fetched food and water, asked about his health, and took good care of him.Now there is only bitterness in his stomach, and many people and things that he once thought he would never forget in his life are now only a vague outline, and it is difficult to find them anymore.That's fine, starting a new life is the only thing he wants now.After lying down for an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep again in a daze.

Gu Ming opened his eyes, it was pitch black, his nose was filled with an old musty smell, he couldn't help frowning, and sat up from the bed.The quilt slipped off him, and he reached out to touch it. There were small balls on the cheap quilt cover, and he kicked the quilt aside in disgust.He flipped the pillow subconsciously, and there was a crisp sound of "Bang Dang", the cup fell to the ground, and the water in it spilled on the head of the bed.

"Damn it." Gu Ming cursed in a low voice, subconsciously reached out and touched the head of the bed, and found his mobile phone.He hurriedly wiped the water stains on the panel of the phone on his clothes, and turned on the flashlight to take a look around without caring whether it was watered or not.I found an old-fashioned pull lamp rope on the wall beside the bed, stretched out my hand, and the dim light illuminated the whole room.The lights were dim, and it took him almost no time to get used to seeing everything in the room.This is a simple and small room, except for a bed, an old wardrobe, a bedside table and three or four cardboard boxes, there is nothing extra.It's not so much a home, it's more like a small cheap hotel that often appeared in Hong Kong movies in the 90s.

Gu Ming found his backpack on the box next to him. He put on his shoes, walked over to pick up the backpack and looked through it. The wallet was still there, and the ID card, bank card, and cash inside were all there.He recalled it for a while, and the last memory was frozen when he walked out of the night, that wimp came to help him, and he didn't remember it at all after that.He looked at his phone, it was four o'clock in the middle of the night, and it would be dawn in a while.But the place in front of him made him unable to stay for a minute, because he had rhinitis since he was a child, and the turbid air here had already begun to make his nasal cavity very uncomfortable.He opened the door, and saw a thin figure curled up on the sofa, with his head buried in his chest and his hands tightly hugging a blanket.Although he couldn't see the face clearly, he knew that the person lying down was Lin Zexi, because the atmosphere in the whole room was exactly the same as his own, so he didn't even want to take a second look.

Gu Ming strode towards the gate with his bag on his back. He didn't deliberately slow down his steps, and he didn't deliberately wake up the people on the sofa.He completely pretended that he didn't exist and just left on his own.Because the living room was too crowded, he accidentally tripped his feet on the coffee table in front of the sofa when he walked through the living room. With a bang, the people on the sofa moved.Lin Zexi snorted, turned over and slowly opened his eyes, only to see a tall figure standing in front of him in the darkness.

Zexi sat up suddenly like a frightened cat, and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?"

Gu Ming stopped but did not answer. After standing for a few seconds, the person on the sofa finally came to his senses, and asked in a calm tone, "Is it the young master? Stay for a while before leaving. The sky will be bright soon. This area It's not safe to go out in the middle of the night." Zexi got up and walked towards the gate while talking, and touched the switch by the door frame. With a sound of "click", the light in the living room was turned on, Gu Ming stood straight in the middle of the living room, his tall and straight body looked extremely cramped in the small and old room.

Gu Ming looked up at the person in front of him with some disgust, but was startled by his current state.He was wearing a set of cheap pajamas that were washed a little white, his face was pale, his hair was completely wet with sweat, and he walked tremblingly, with his right hand covering his chest, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his lips were pale, and he spoke It's also so soft it's almost inaudible.

Gu Ming frowned even tighter, and looked at him with disgust on his face, but Ze Xi didn't mind at all, "You're thirsty after drinking, please sit down for a while, and I'll get you a glass of water." After finishing speaking Walk slowly towards the kitchen.

Gu Ming wanted to refuse straightforwardly, opened the door and walked away, but he couldn't let go of the scene in front of him, he felt that this person might fall to the ground at any time.He looked around the living room, but couldn't find any place he was willing to sit down, so he continued to stand motionless.

Zexi brought out a large bowl from the kitchen, filled it with water, and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, because no one has been here before, and I didn't prepare extra cups, so I can only make do with it."

Zexi put the bowl on the tea table, bent down and folded the blanket on the sofa twice, put it on a corner of the sofa, and made a space for him and said, "Sit down for a while, the sky will be bright soon."

Gu Ming didn't say a word, he glanced at the sofa, he really didn't want to sit down, but he didn't break the door and leave.

Ze Xi had just walked a few steps, when suddenly his brows became more tightly frowned. He covered his stomach with his right hand and sat curled up in a corner of the sofa.Gu Ming could see that he was enduring the pain, his face was still pale as if he was about to die.

Gu Ming frowned and stared at Ze Xi, eyes narrowed into a line, finally sighed softly, and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call an ambulance for you?"

Zexi was so painful that he couldn't speak, he waved his hands several times, half a minute later, the pain eased slightly, and he raised his head and said to Gu Ming, "It's okay, it will be fine after a while, there is no need to call an ambulance."

"Damn, why do you look like you're okay? It's almost like you're about to die, okay? If you want to die, die away from me. Don't die in front of me. It's annoying to see." Gu Ming saw that he was in pain but refused him. With such a rare kindness, a wave of unknown anger rose to his head, and he opened his mouth to scold the ignorant guy in front of him.

Seeing Gu Ming's angry look, Ze Xi was eager to explain, and when he got up together, his eyes suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
