Lin Shilang Gu

There was chaos in the nursing home.

Mrs. Gao is very old, and it is not a trivial matter to fall.

Fortunately, both of them were calm enough, Lin Yuewei stepped forward to check on the old lady's injuries, and Gu Yanqiu went to the front to call for someone to take them to the hospital.

The old lady Gao fell from the wheelchair and was not unconscious. She scratched the ground in vain with her hands, then suddenly fixed her eyes on Lin Yuewei's face, and threw herself forward, grabbing her ankle.

The word was repeated in the mouth: "No...no..."

Lin Yuewei leaned close to her ear: "Mom, what did you say?"

"No...in...no...dad..." Mrs. Gao's eyes rolled down with muddy tears, crying bitterly.

Lin Yuewei was heartbroken, and only heard her repeat those words stubbornly. She didn't raise her hand to wipe her eyes until the people from the front yard rushed over. My wife carried me to the car and took me to the hospital.

Gu Yanqiu was also taken aback, holding Lin Yuewei's hand along the way, the two followed the car to the hospital.

***

"There are two fractures, and everything else is fine. The old lady is lucky and didn't fall to her head. Let her live in the hospital for a while and take a good rest. However, the bones of the elderly are not as good as those of young people, and they may need to lie down for longer. Also, the future situation will probably be worse, this is uncertain, it depends on the follow-up recovery.”

"Thank you doctor."

"you are welcome."

Gu Yanqiu's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally relaxed, his limbs lost strength, and he took a step back. Lin Yuewei, who was beside her, hugged her shoulders and let her lean into his arms.

The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Mrs. Gao had water hanging on her arm, and various instruments for detecting vital signs were operating normally. The scene that happened a few hours ago lingered in her mind for a long time.

"Don't disturb grandma's rest, let's go outside." Lin Yuewei helped her out, pushed her shoulders with both hands, and let her sit on the bench outside.

Gu Yanqiu bent down slightly, lowered his head, propped his elbows on his knees, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out.

A bottle of mineral water suddenly appeared in sight, Gu Yanqiu looked up, Lin Yuewei handed her the water from the unscrewed bottle cap, and said, "Drink some water, your lips are dry."

Gu Yanqiu took it over, took a sip to moisten her lips, and asked her, "Do you know what happened just now?"

What Gu Yanqiu asked was why Mrs. Gao fell down.

Lin Yuewei sat down beside her, opened another bottle of water, shook his head and said, "No."

She was the same as Gu Yanqiu, both of them happened to be facing Mrs. Gao at the time, not to mention that they only had each other in their eyes at that time, so there was no room for Mrs. Gao. When she realized it, Mrs. Gao was already on the ground .

Lin Yuewei: "But after grandma fell down, she said something, I don't know what it means."

"what did you say?"

Lin Yuewei relayed those fragmented words.

"No, yes, no, Dad?"

"Correct."

"The last word should refer to my grandfather." Gu Yanqiu said after pondering for a while.

"What do the first three represent? These should be the middle words of a complete sentence."

"I don't know." Gu Yanqiu lowered his head, pressed his two fingers on his temples, and said to himself, "I don't know."

Lin Yuewei raised his hand to comfort her.

Gu Yanqiu whispered, "Do you think I'm worth it?"

"Is it worth it?" Lin Yuewei stopped in mid-air with his hand.

"My grandma is so old, I have to expose her scars again and again, and make her what she is now. The past has long passed, why should I be so persistent in finding an answer? My father kept it from me so much, Did you already know that this matter is deeply involved, stop the loss in time, and everything is for my own good?"

"I don't know." Lin Yuewei paused and replied.

Gu Yanqiu lowered his eyes and smiled wryly.The joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked [Note], why she prayed for affirmation from others when she couldn't find the answer herself.

Lin Yuewei said, "But..."

Gu Yanqiu looked up at her, his lips were pale, and his eyes were more fragile than ever.

Lin Yuewei curled her fingers slightly, and almost couldn't help but want her lip color to look better.She lowered her eyes and said seriously: "I have only one criterion for my attitude towards doing such things. If I don't do it, will I regret it? If the answer is yes, then I will do it without hesitation. Consequences. Just for your information."

"You just hesitated when you encountered difficulties. I believe you don't want to ask for my opinion, but want someone to tell you that what you did is right, so that you can continue to investigate." Lin Yuewei looked into her eyes intently, and said softly, "Well, then, let me tell you, what you did was right. Just as you said that if I killed someone, you would fully respect my wishes, I totally agree with you, whatever you do."

Gu Yanqiu and her looked at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly raised his brows easily, and poured half a bottle of water down in one breath, and when he opened the bottle, there was a smile on the corner of his lips with clear drops of water: "You are right .”

Lin Yuewei let his gaze away from the corner of her mouth, touched the mineral water bottle with her, and said with a smile, "Cheers."

Gu Yanqiu said: "I've finished half a bottle, it's your turn."

Lin Yue smiled: "I'm not that thirsty, and I'm not bothered." She took a shallow sip, and raised the bottle as a salute.

Gu Yanqiu looked at her, a lot of emotions flashed in his eyes for a moment, including relief, joy, and the kind of cherishment and satisfaction that is hard to know in life.After a long time, she changed her voice, looked at the front wall, and said, "When my grandma gets better, I plan to take her to Yanning. The medical conditions and nursing homes there are much better than here. What do you think?" Woolen cloth?"

"Hmm." Lin Yuewei uttered an unclear syllable.

"Ok?"

"Yanning has your father, as well as Gu Feiquan and He Songjun. Your father can say, what if He Songjun's mother and son are unfavorable to your grandma? Who knows where the bottom line of their mother and son is."

"I was negligent." Gu Yanqiu's expression became serious, and he dismissed the idea.

"Her fracture will take care of her for a long time, why don't you stay here first, hire a better nurse, and don't let people treat the old man harshly. When things in the Gu family stabilize in the future, it won't be too late for you to take her to Yanning."

"That's no problem. I will make a special trip to hire someone from Yanning with a high salary."

"Ah."

The two of them had a bottle of mineral water each outside the ward, and chatted about the beautiful scenery of watching the stars and the moon.

Lin Yuewei asked: "By the way, when you came out, you said you found the photo, where is it?"

"I didn't take the photo album, I just took pictures of all the photos on it." Gu Yanqiu took out his phone, clicked on the photo album of the phone, and the entire screen of the interface was full of old photos with a sense of age.

The two of them inadvertently touched their heads, and turned over one by one, breathing close to each other.

Gu Yanqiu pointed to one of them and said: "Most of them are from childhood, this one is a family of three, with my mother in the middle."

Lin Yuewei looked at the photo, looked at Gu Yanqiu, and said, "There is a bit of similarity in the eyebrows and eyes."

Shen Huaiyu's beauty is inherited from her parents. Even if I look back after decades in the photo, Gu Yanqiu's grandfather is wearing an old-fashioned waistcoat with trousers and leather shoes. Beautiful as a flower, the two are by no means out of date.

It can be seen that both of them have a little reserved expression, probably because they don't often wear such clothes.

"How was grandma and grandpa's financial situation before? What did they do?"

Gu Yanqiu shook his head: "Still investigating, grandma has moved here for 20 years, she came here alone, she never chatted about it, and no one knows where her hometown is, including Cheng Yong, Cheng Yong said that he didn't care about it before. I asked when I was there, but grandma didn’t say anything.”

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

This means that although Gao Limei was found, the place where Shen Huaiyu was really born and raised is still unclear.Without knowing where Shen Huaiyu's real hometown is, it is impossible to understand what happened back then.

"So the top priority is to find your mother's real hometown."

"Yes, Mr. Liu has already gone to look for it. The old man's accent is difficult to change. He is starting with grandma's usual accent."

Lin Yuewei continued to flip through the next photo.

From these photos of different years, you can feel that this is a very happy family of three. The young Shen Huaiyu is quite naughty. There are photos of digging out bird nests on trees. They are very close, and the love that can't be hidden is in each other's eyes.

When he turned to one of them, Lin Yuewei's hand had already swiped over it, paused, and then pulled it back: "Wait a minute."

Gu Yanqiu: "What's wrong?"

Lin Yuewei pointed to the background of the photo, sitting behind Shen Huaiyu who was smiling happily on the wall, squinted his eyes and said, "Is there a line of small characters here?"

"where?"

Lin Yuewei put the photo to the largest, and behind Xiao Shen Huaiyu there was a lying boulder with indistinct handwriting engraved on it. She immediately cheered up and asked excitedly: "Is there any way to reprocess this picture?" photo?"

Gu Yanqiu didn't know why.

Lin Yuewei said excitedly: "I have watched some movies and documentaries about the countryside before. In some villages, a big stone will be placed at the head of the village, and the name of the town and village is engraved on the stone."

Gu Yanqiu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately got up and went to the side to call Mr. Liu.

After getting excited, Lin Yuewei calmed down, walked over and said, "But I'm not sure if this stone is also engraved with these, but it's a clue."

Gu Yanqiu was busy explaining to Mr. Liu the location of the photo album in Gao Limei's room, and the photos taken by the mobile phone were not as clear as the real ones. She gestured to Lin Yuewei to indicate that she knew it.

But her expression already took Lin Yuewei's words as affirmation, and she had a strong intuition that the words on it must be the address of her mother's hometown.

Mr. Liu was also very surprised to get this clue. God knows that he has been facing such a clueless thing for so long, and now he is dozing off and someone gave him a pillow, so he immediately went to Gao Limei's room to get the photo album.

Director Fang was quite frightened. The old lady was stimulated for two days in a row, and fell into the hospital the next day. Fortunately, she was fine, and her family was behind her. It's big.

After Director Fang confirmed the safety of the old lady in the hospital, he went back to the nursing home and called Gu Huai, telling him everything about yesterday including today.

Gu Huai coughed badly over there, all the veins protruding from the back of the hand holding the phone.

"I see." Gu Huai hung up the phone without any response.

There was silence in the office, and more and more powerlessness came up, like standing on the edge of a cliff and watching the lit fuse burn towards him silently, in a dilemma, Gu Huai sat in the large office chair with his head bowed, Transform yourself into a speechless sculpture.

"Gu Dong." The secretary outside the door called him an internal number.

"Say."

"The young master is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

"Wait." Gu Huai said suddenly.

The secretary waited patiently.

Gu Huai said: "In the future, don't call me Young Master, just call me by name."

The secretary was shocked, as if he had learned the outcome of the "battle for the heir apparent" that was raging in the company from his words, and said calmly, "Yes." Gu Yanqiu seldom came to Gu Huai's office, but it was not like After coming here, Gu Huai's attitude towards her is completely different.

Gu Feiquan was indeed like the younger version of Gu Huai, with high spirits and a breeze in his walk. He nodded politely to his secretary, and pushed open the door of Gu Huai's office with a smile.

"Gu Dong."

"What's the matter?" Gu Huai looked up from behind the desk, showing a kind smile.

"I have encountered a little problem at work, and I want to ask you, won't it be too disturbing?"

"No, just ask." Gu Huai put his hands on the edge of the table, moved his office chair back a little, and said gently, "Come here and ask."

Gu Feiquan's calm eyes stirred a little, he walked over restrainedly, stood a foot away from Gu Huai, and spread out the folder in his hand in front of him.Gu Huai is a very decent person who pays attention to his image. Whether he is young or now, he will often spray men's perfume on his body. When the work day is coming to an end, the perfume has also reached the end note. It is only a little weak, but it smells good.

Gu Feiquan smelled the breath on his body, it was very strange to him, it belonged to his father's smell, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

Gu Huai said something, but he didn't hear it, so he asked again: "What did you say? I'm sorry I was distracted just now."

Gu Huai smiled faintly, "Ask if you have a girlfriend."

Gu Feiquan was asked this question many times by He Songjun, but never once did he have such complicated emotions as now, happy, sad, and resentment for the greetings that were many years late.

He thought he didn't care about his father, he had lived a good life alone in the past 28 years, and his father was just a nightmare that he hoped to get rid of completely amid He Songjun's nagging and nightmarish curses.

But why this nightmare tore off his mask, but the warmth and kindness exuded inside made him want to get closer.

dad.

He described the word silently in his heart, and a surging emotion burst out from the bottom of his heart with this sound.

"what happened?"

Gu Feiquan was startled, and found that he accidentally yelled out.

Gu Huai flipped through the documents he brought over, and said with a smile: "Your mother told me last night, let me urge you, saying that the eldest is not young, and Yanqiu is married a few years younger than you. I've been single all the time. But I think whether to get married or not depends on the timing. If you meet someone you like, you will naturally want to get married."

"Are you and my mother?" Gu Feiquan blurted out, "Then why didn't you marry my mother back then, but Gu Yanqiu's mother?"

Gu Feiquan had planned that Gu Huai would be furious. A father, Gu Huai in his imagination, should be a moody person who would not allow anyone to challenge his majesty. That's what He Songjun told him, but Gu Huai did not.

Gu Huai stared at him with eyes that he couldn't understand. After a long time, he stood up and patted his shoulder, then took two steps back and bowed to him seriously: "I'm sorry for you and you Mother, I'm sorry."

Gu Feiquan's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were red: "I'm sorry, can you make up for your fault of abandoning us for 28 years? My 28 years are fine, but who will compensate her for my mother's 28 years?"

Gu Feiquan said word by word: "If it weren't for you, she graduated from university and was a top student. At that time, she could have a very good life. She could find someone she loves and love her, support each other for the rest of her life, and have one or two children. Live a happy life. It was you who made her bear the crime of being pregnant out of wedlock, you who made her suffer all the criticism from others, and it was you who made her live forever under the shadow of Gu Yanqiu's mother." Dad, he could only endure the bullying, and he would be scolded by his mother when he returned home. The next day, he beat him back with a bloody head. Gu Feiquan's Adam's apple rolled, he sneered, and said softly, "What compensation do you have?"

"Take the rest of my life." Gu Huai said.

"My mother wants it, I don't care about it." Gu Feiquan picked up the documents on the table, with a sarcasm on his lips, and stepped back step by step.

"Feiquan—"

Gu Feiquan closed his office door.

He walked back with a frosty face.

"Big boy."

"Big boy."

"Big--"

The employees who passed by greeted him, but they were all scared back by Gu Feiquan's cold eyes. Gu Feiquan returned to his office, swept all the documents on the desk to the floor, still hesitant, and kicked his foot on the desk.

fuck dad.

After Gu Feiquan finished venting, he squatted down and sorted out the documents separately, and restored them to their original state. He sat behind the desk, covered his face with his hands, and let out a breath of foul air slowly.

Looking at the time on the table, there was still an hour before get off work, and he felt a headache.

Sure enough, He Songjun's call came on time.

"Mom." Gu Feiquan turned on the speakerphone.

"Are there any social gatherings tonight?" He Songjun didn't care about drinking.

"Yes." Gu Feiquan lied without changing his expression.

"Your dad doesn't have dinner parties and goes home to eat every day, but you are busier than your dad. Are you the chairman or the president? When will you have dinner parties?"

"Twelve o'clock at night."

"You child, why do you have to socialize so late?"

"Talk about business, sing and drink, what if you don't play till midnight?" Gu Feiquan pulled on the loose tie that had been untied after entering the door, and simply took it off and threw it aside.

He Songjun had already arranged and tricked him into going on a blind date for various reasons during this period of time, and now Gu Feiquan felt a headache when he saw his mother's caller ID.

"You can drink and sing, but you are not allowed to touch women, they are not clean, so don't imitate the men outside."

"understood."

"So you still have to have a girlfriend, otherwise you won't be able to meet your physical needs." He Songjun went around and got back to the point no matter what, she was old enough to be outspoken to her own son.

"Don't worry, I still have hands. Self-reliance, enough food and clothing."

"You!" He Songjun was silenced by him, Gu Feiquan quickly took the opportunity to say: "I'm done, I'm busy."

Successfully getting rid of He Songjun made Gu Feiquan heave a sigh of relief.

Gu Feiquan crossed his fingers and rested them on his chin, and He Songjun's words sounded in his ears:

——Your dad doesn't have any entertainment, and you go home for dinner every day. Fortunately, you are busier than your dad.

Gu Feiquan has been hiding out these days in order to avoid blind dates, and he hasn’t gone home for dinner for a while. The only few times Gu Huai was there, so it’s not a coincidence, but that he does go home for dinner every day. What he said is compensation , part of it is doing.

As Gu Feiquan himself said, he has not had a father for 28 years, and he doesn't care if he will have one in the future. If He Songjun is happy, then he can play a qualified son and let He Songjun enjoy his old age without any worries.

It's just that there are many things that cannot stand a deep investigation. Gu Feiquan is not a brainless person. Anger is anger, and quarrels are quarrels. The doubts in his heart are no less than Gu Yanqiu.

Abandoning his family and children is a fact, he doesn't want to defend him, but is Gu Huai really such a dirty, dirty, unbearable person who likes the new and dislikes the old?Judging from Gu Feiquan's observation and only understanding of him, it's not like that.All his impressions of Gu Huai basically come from He Songjun's narration, and how much subjective color is in He Songjun's narration, just look at her slander against Gu Yanqiu's mother day after day, as if chanting a spell, it can be seen that it is so far removed from He Songjun's narration. Gu Huai, what kind of person is he?

When he was a student, He Songjun took him to see Gu Yanqiu in an aristocratic school. Gu Feiquan met Gu Huai once. A Disney fairytale-like perfect family, surrounded by a kind queen and a beautiful princess.

If he was a bystander, if he wasn't Gu Huai's son, he would definitely feel that this is the most beautiful family of three in the world.

There was one thing that he kept in his heart all the time. One night, he forgot the reason why he came out of his room, went to the living room on the first floor, and found that there was a light in the study on the second floor.He tiptoed over, the door of the study was not closed tightly, he saw through the crack that Gu Huai was holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, staring at it motionlessly, with tears in his eyes.

Gu Yanqiu's mother believed in Buddhism, and Gu Feiquan knew that He Songjun had mentioned it to him countless times, saying that the other party was false compassion and hypocrisy.

What is it like to lose a beloved wife?What is not told in fairy tales, many years later, what will happen when the prince loses his princess?Gu Feiquan learned about it from Gu Huai.He felt paradoxically split into two people, one was proud that his father was a man of love and righteousness, the other was resentful that his father did not love his mother, his birth was like a joke.

Gu Huai.

Gu Feiquan stopped writing, and looked at the name on the paper with well-connected strokes.

There are three question marks after the name.

Gu Huai was learning to be his father and He Songjun's husband, but he only dared to weep secretly at Gu Yanqiu's mother's belongings in the middle of the night. He didn't need to wrong himself so much.

Why did he marry He Songjun and welcome himself home, just because of guilt?

And why didn't he feel guilty sooner or later, but why did he feel guilty after Gu Yanqiu's mother died, and why did he remarry immediately without stopping?There was no wedding, the two of them just received a certificate and gave them real titles, and they also brought He Songjun with them to the banquet. It can be said that apart from the wedding, Mrs. Gu had everything in name and reality.

With Gu Huai's status and status, even if he doesn't do these things, he won't be criticized by others.He married after the death of his ex-wife, and blew himself up about his romantic past, except for adding a lot of talk to everyone, and becoming an object of contempt among some people with a strong sense of morality, there is no benefit.If he wants to make up, he can choose other ways. Economically and emotionally, even if he remarries after a while, there will not be such a big public opinion turmoil now.Fortunately, the company is not listed, otherwise his coming and making such a move would cause fluctuations in the stock price.

Could it be that He Songjun threatened him?Gu Feiquan thought disrespectfully, with his mother's brain, if she wanted to threaten Gu Huai, the possibility of the sun coming out from the west was greater than this.

It was Gu Huai who led all of this, and everything happened because of Gu Huai.The past is unclear, and what happened 30 years ago is not true. He and Gu Yanqiu are the two most innocent people among them.

It was said that Gu Yanqiu asked for leave for something these two days and didn't come to the company. Since he said that to Gu Yanqiu last time, Gu Yanqiu has become more indifferent to him. He could pretend before, but now he completely ignores him.

Gu Feiquan also wrote down Gu Yanqiu's name on the paper, and drew a horizontal line at the bottom.

Gu Yanqiu...

Gu Feiquan tried to analyze something, thought for a long time, and found that his mind was still blank.

***

It will be some time before Mrs. Gao wakes up, and the sky will be dark. Lin Yuewei proposed to go out and buy dinner, and Gu Yanqiu readily agreed.As soon as the two left the hospital, the cell phone in Gu Yanqiu's bag rang.

She looked at the caller ID and let the phone just ring.

Lin Yuewei pulled her away from the road. Seeing that she had a different expression, he poked his head to look at the screen. The name flashing on it was clearly: Gu Feiquan.

It rang until it was about to end, then Gu Yanqiu clicked to answer, slowly put the phone on his ear, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gu Feiquan's lazy and casual voice came from the receiver:

"Gu Yanqiu? Let's cooperate."

The author has something to say: [Note]: "The joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked" - Lu Xun's "Only Collection"

Gu Feiquan: Seemingly calm but actually panicked

The elder brother secretly approached the younger sister...
