Gu Hansheng thin lips chuckle, also don't expose Liang Jiujiu bad acting, in the car is about to turn in front of the intersection, she will protect firmly in his arms, just joked: "Jiujiu and Qu Eucalyptus relationship is good, then I have to find a chance to talk to Qu eucalyptus, let her less to you reveal my embarrassing."
Liang Jiujiu blinked, grabbed Gu Hansheng's arm and shook it, "no, no, uncle Gu has no embarrassment at all. Crying is not embarrassment."
"In fact, every day there are classmates crying in our school. It's no shame at all." The little girl added.
In the front seat, the driver Xiao Chen and Xu Shanhai were both laughing, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became active.
When he was about to arrive at Gu's house, Ji Shen called Gu Hansheng.
Liang Jiujiu noticed that the big palm holding her hand unconsciously squeezed her two times. She tilted her head to see Gu Hansheng looking at the front coldly. He said, "I'll go right away."
Hang up the phone, Liang Jiujiu looked at Gu Hansheng, "Uncle Gu, do you want to go out?"
Gu Hansheng touched her head. "Well, ah Shu's aunt has passed away. I have to take her place to have a look."
Liang Jiujiu's expression suddenly became a little strange. After a while, she sighed, "is ah Shu coming back?"
"I'll be back." Gu Hansheng answered her.
……
Aunt Mei left at 4:50 in the afternoon. She didn't wake up after a nap. She didn't have any pain.
Some people seem to be able to predict the end of their lives at the last moment, so they will clean themselves up early and leave with dignity.
The hospital nurse said that Aunt Mei took her favorite clothes early in the morning and even went to the nurse to take a small mirror and put some powder on her face, so she was in a good mood all morning.
The doctor who came for routine examination also said that if Aunt May's situation could continue like this, she would have the hope to transfer to a sanatorium.
But unexpectedly, she didn't get up again after that afternoon nap.
There called Ji Shen, and Ji Shen informed Gu Hansheng about it.
Gu Hansheng went there in person and told him something about the funeral. It was raining when he left the hospital. Ji Shen opened his umbrella and propped it on Gu Hansheng's head. They walked all the way to the parking lot.
When I got on the bus, someone called Mr. Gu twice from a distance.
Ji Shen and Gu Hansheng look back at the same time. Through the misty rain and fog, they happen to see a nurse in hospital work clothes running towards them in the rain.
Ji Shen's eyes are awe inspiring, subconsciously blocking Gu Hansheng.
"Mr. Gu, please stay. I have something for you!" Said the nurse.
Gu Hansheng motioned to Ji Shen. The latter stood quietly with an umbrella. The elderly female nurse narrowed her eyes. The fine rain fell on her face. She handed out the thing in her hand. "This thing is what she asked me to give you before she died."
In her hand was a small square box, which was bigger than the paste powder box. It was red, and the lacquer on it had fallen off long ago. It was a small object with some years old.
When the nurse saw that he didn't answer, he said, "here's something she gave you."
Gu Hansheng's face was soft. He gave a smile to the nurse and reached for the box. He looked down and asked her, "are you sure it's for me?"
He thought that if Aunt Mei wanted to leave something, she should also leave it to ah Shu, not him.
The nurse frowned, scratched his head and nodded, "I'm sure."
Seeing Gu Hansheng staring at the box in a daze, the nurse bowed to him, "death can't bring her back to life. When she left, she was very peaceful and didn't have any pain. I hope you'll be sad, too."
Gu Hansheng looks back and nods to the guard. Ji Shen opens the door to guard him and sits in the car.
Turning around and nodding to the nurse, Ji Shen went around to the other side and sat in the driver's seat.
When the car starts, Ji Shen secretly looks in the rearview mirror and looks at Gu Hansheng's state. He finds that he is just sitting on the seat with the same look. The red iron box with the missing lacquer is still in his hand.
On the way, Gu Hansheng suddenly told him to turn around. The one who had gone to Gu's house was temporarily changed back to the zero mansion.
Since Liang Shu disappeared, Liang Jiujiu has been living in Gu's house with Wen MINGTING.
Gu Hansheng moved to take care of her.
But today, he wanted to go back to the zero mansion.
When the car entered the boundary of the residence, ginkgo leaves fell all over the ground and the wheels ran over it. It was golden.
By the time I got home, it was completely dark.
When the servant saw him coming back, he was a little surprised and asked him, "Sir, you're back, and you haven't used your dinner yet. Do you want the kitchen to prepare some?"
Gu Hansheng didn't even look at the man. He went to the stairs and said, "no need."
The servant nodded at him and watched his back disappear at the stairway.
Gu Hansheng went to the study on the second floor. He placed the box on the desk and looked down at it. The box was empty. It seemed that there was nothing in it. It was very light. There was a sound of collision when he shook it twice.
He turned to go out, went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, and then took a bath.
After a video phone call with Yu Shenzhi, Yu Shenzhi is having a drink at home. He looks at Gu Hansheng at the other end of the picture and says, "I suggest you do the ideological work of his secretary assistant again."
Gu Hansheng sat in his chair, smelling speech, looked up at Yu Shen and said, "well, I can't think of a better way to do it except to kill them."
“……”
Yu Shenzhi didn't bother to tell him that he was boring, so he cut off the phone after two times.
When the video hung up, there was no sound in the room, and everything was quiet again.
The light was so dim that he sat in his chair like a ghost.
For a long time, in the quiet environment came a "pa", he opened the desk lamp on one side of the desk.
Gu Hansheng narrowed his eyes and slowly adapted to the light. He opened the box in his hand.
There's nothing in it, just a small one like a USB flash drive.
He took the things out.
Gu Hansheng didn't have any special expression. He took this thing to the light and carefully identified it by the light. Then he found that it was a recording tool.
This should have been recorded when Aunt May was awake.
It was recorded to him.
He tentatively opened it and found that there was no electricity, so he inserted it into his notebook.
The first sentence of the recording is:
Don't blame ah Shu. She loves you very much.
Aunt Mei's hoarse voice slowly spread out in the silent space. She said: I remember what you asked me at the beginning. That night her mobile phone fell into the fish tank. She didn't mean not to answer your phone. I called to ask you for money, but ah Shu didn't let me. In the process of our argument, my mobile phone fell into the water. Didn't receive your call, she didn't save your people, she must be very remorse.
I know you've been looking for him. You probably don't care about this at all, but I still want to make it clear to you.
……
The recording lasted for ten minutes. Gu Hansheng listened to it all the way. At the end of the recording, he heard the last sentence from Aunt Mei in his mind: ah Shu, she has lived a hard life. Mr. Gu is one of the few lights in her life. Thank you.
In fact, he didn't have much feeling. As Aunt May said, he didn't care about those things since he decided to find her.
It's fate.
……
December 24 is Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve.
That day, Liang Jiujiu received a lot of apples, most of which were sent by his classmates.
After dinner, she divided the apples she received at school today to everyone in her family.
Today, Gu's house is very lively.
In addition to Wen MINGTING and LIANG Qing, Jingyu and Mo Xiangsi are also here.
This is also the first time Liang Jiujiu saw the young master of the Jing family.
Jingxing had just returned home a month ago, and it happened that he had met Christmas. Now, Jingxing's family no longer has any elders, so it's the same as in previous years.
In the living room, Liang Jiujiu holds an apple and sends it all the way to Jingxing. The little girl stares at Jingxing carefully, and then selects the most ugly apple to put in his hand.
Jingxing looks down at the defective product in his hand, reaches out his hand and rubs liangjiujiu's hair vindictively. Jingxing says, "it's really stingy."
Liang Jiujiu sees that he moves his hair. She stares at her round eyes and takes back the apple that will be given to Jingxing. She solemnly says to Jingxing, "your apple is gone!"
"Why?"
Liang Jiujiu looked at Gu Hansheng wrongly, and then stared at Jingxing, "I'll go out with Uncle Gu later. You've messed up my carefully prepared hairstyle!"
"Oh." Jing Xing looks at her, and soon he reaches out his hand and rubs Liang Jiujiu's head several times, which makes the little girl's braid hairy.
Jing Xing blinked from her eyes, raised her hand and pointed to the cold Jiujiu's head, saying, "look, her head is like a chicken nest."
Liang Jiujiu bit her lip and glared at Jingxing. This is the first time that she was so angry that tears were wrapped in her eyes. She was very wronged. She yelled at Jingxing: "you are really naive. No wonder my mother doesn't like you. She only likes uncle gu!"
Everybody, "..."
This is really stepping on Jingxing's painful foot. Jingxing also stares at her, "who told you that? I'm very popular
Liang Jiujiu stared at him with tears in his eyes and did not speak.
Wen MINGTING couldn't watch any more. Gu Hansheng came back from the restaurant. Seeing this situation, he raised his foot and kicked Jingxing's leg. "What's the matter?"
Jingxing whined and looked at Gu Hansheng discontentedly, "your children are attacking me!"
Without waiting for Gu Hansheng to speak, Mo Xiangsi, sitting on the sofa in Jingyu's arms and enjoying Jingyu's leg beating, said, "ah hang, you're so old, you're so naive."
Liang Jiujiu looks at Wen MINGTING wrongly again. Wen MINGTING's heart softens. She doesn't hold back her hand and claps Jingxing's shoulder heavily. "Ah Xing, you don't know how to restrain yourself. Jiu Jiu is so small."
"Jiujiulai, grandma will wipe your tears. Don't give him the same opinion, ah." Wen MINGTING pulled the little girl into her arms and coaxed her with good words.
Well, Jingxing has become a sinner in the eyes of all people.
Jingxing didn't really want to care with her as a child. After all, how old he is... But he was not very reconciled and said, "this little girl is too eccentric. Why do you give me big and red apples and small and rotten apples?"
Gu Hansheng stooped to pick up Liang Jiujiu from Wen MINGTING's arms, and coldly glanced at Jingxing, "you deserve it."
Liang Jiujiu lay on Gu Hansheng's shoulder, looking at him with red eyes, sniffing, learning Gu Hansheng's tone, "you deserve it, who made you like it..."
When it comes to Liang Shu, Liang Jiujiu doesn't dare to say any more. She hugs Gu Hansheng's neck and buries her face in his neck socket.
Other people subconsciously go to see Gu Hansheng's reaction, but Gu Hansheng says to Wen MINGTING as usual, "I'll take her out for a stroll later. It's still a long time in the evening. Let's get together, mom."
Wen MINGTING got up and looked at Jiu Jiu. "Just go to clean up. Today, the temperature outside is very low. Bring her one more thing to keep from catching cold."
Gu Hansheng nodded, ready to turn around, Wen MINGTING said: "I'll clean it up, lest there is anything missing."
"No, Ma. I'll clean it up."
When they went upstairs, Wen MINGTING sat back in the sofa, but he was more depressed than he had just been. The living room was less cool, and even the atmosphere seemed to be depressed.
Even Jingxing just sits quietly on the sofa.
Wen MINGTING blinked, but it seems that there is no way to keep his eyes moist.
Without a moment's effort, Gu Hansheng came down from the stairs with Leng Jiujiu in his arms. Gu Hansheng was wearing a long black tweed coat, while Leng Jiujiu was wrapped in a red down jacket. Gu Hansheng made his hair again and put on a small Christmas hat, which was very beautiful.
Gu Hansheng took her to the living room and said hello to the people. Liang Jiujiu leaned on his shoulder and waved to them one by one. When she got to Jingxing, she turned her head and hummed and jumped over him.
Wen MINGTING was a little worried. He followed him all the way to the door, worried: "did she bring her water bottle? In case of thirst, drink hot water... "
"Yes, Ma." Gu Hansheng looks at her helplessly.
"OK, it's cold. Although it doesn't snow, remember not to hang out too long." Wen MINGTING asked.
Liang Jiujiu smiles and waves to Wen MINGTING, "goodbye, grandma."
Wen MINGTING looked at those eyes. Her eyes were wet in an instant. She watched them go to the car and sighed heavily at the dark night outside.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the shopping mall is still very busy.
Gu Hansheng has been taking Leng Jiujiu for more than two hours. They are sitting in the rest area of the shopping mall to have a rest. Leng Jiujiu is bending her head to play with the doll of Santa Claus in her hand, which is made of plasticine. She suddenly gives a "ah".
The man hears a voice side head, cool nine nine toward him Yang Yang the thing in the hand, very sorry, "broke."
That Santa was broken by Liang Jiujiu.
Gu Hansheng unscrewed the hot water bottle and handed it to her, "drink some water."
Liang Jiujiu licks her lips and looks at the children next door eating ice cream. She looks at Gu Hansheng pitifully, "Uncle Gu, can I have some ice cream, too?"
She can't touch such things.
But this night, Gu Hansheng really couldn't bear to buy one for her.
He looked at Liang Jiujiu with a satisfied face and mixed feelings.
There was no news from the people sent out, just as Lu Jinsheng really disappeared into the world with a cold.
……
At 11 pm, Gu Hansheng and Liang Jiujiu just got home.
And now, a black car all the way through the city, galloping in the bleak birch forest in the suburbs.
On Christmas Eve, Lu Jinsheng secretly took a cold back to Yucheng.
This is a very difficult and forced decision for Lu Jinsheng.
At this time, Liang Shu had been sick for half a month.
Different from before, there was no way to rely on nutrient solution. She couldn't eat and had fever repeatedly.
It's usually in the evening when people are busy living to bring down the fever, but at night it will burn again and again.
The doctors who came to see don't know what happened to lengshu. They can only prescribe the right medicine to the case. If they can't eat anything, they will lose nutrient solution. If they have a fever, they will get rid of it.
Many things were done by Lu Jinsheng himself. Liang Shu fell ill and tortured him at the same time.
Occasionally, as long as she was in a better mood or didn't vomit out after eating, Lu Jinsheng's face would ease a lot.
He from the beginning of the panic anxious, to the back of the cold, is in this time of fear in the conversion.
At night, he could sit in her room all night and watch her sleep without doing anything.
When he first came here, he had stopped taking his own medicine.
But later he found that he couldn't, so he began to eat again, and could barely sleep at night.
Now, he can't remember the feeling of closing his eyes to rest. It has become a habit to guard her.
One night, Liang Shu woke up from a deep sleep, only to feel his throat smoking.
She described lying emaciated in bed, as if she were very ill, as if the time was coming.
Lu Jinsheng looks at that appearance, his eyes gradually become crimson, but he just sits in the sofa motionless, if usual, he will come forward to check whether her fever has subsided.
Liang Shu wants to drink some water, so she looks over the sofa and stares at Lu Jinsheng calmly.
Without her saying anything, Lu Jinsheng got up and brought water to feed her. Before that, he tried the water temperature.
After finishing this, he reached out to explore the temperature on her forehead, and realized that there was no sign of burning, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But Liang Shu felt that her eyelids were hot.
She swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, eyes calmly staring at the ceiling, mouth open, want to speak, but found for a long time did not speak, voice seems to have been abandoned.
Liang Shu grasped the sheets under the bedding with her fingers. Then she said softly, "Lu Jinsheng, you see, you've trapped me here. I can't live."
Lu Jinsheng just stood and looked down at her. His eyes were deep and deep. From her eyebrows to her lips, to every part of her facial features, he watched carefully for fear that he might miss something.
Liang Shu's eyelashes trembled unconsciously and continued, "I go out for a walk every day and read books when I come back. I have a good breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it's not my control to spit out after eating. My spirit is getting worse day by day, and it's not my control."
She turned her head and looked at him. Not only she, but also Lu Jinsheng lost a lot of weight during this period.
She smiles, "you let me go, take me back, let me come back to him, OK?"
Liang Shu stretched out his hand and held him by his side.
Lu Jinsheng slowly closed his eyes and slightly lowered his head. The warm light in the room spread his shadow on the wall. For no reason, there was a desolation spreading.
Soon, the hand that pulled Lu Jinsheng's finger released two times, slowly and lifelessly.
He looked sideways. His thin hand was soft and didn't have any strength to put it on the quilt. His fingers were as thin as green onions. The blood vessels on the back of his hand were protruding, pale and transparent.
After this night, Liang Shu fell into a deep sleep for no reason. No matter how many methods the doctor used, it was useless.
Some people say it's a kind of self-protection mechanism.
It's like in winter, bears hibernate because they don't have enough to eat.
……
The doctor had been arranged to wait in the villa in the suburb.
In the car, Lu Jinsheng holds a cold all the way. She leans quietly against him as if she were really just asleep, as if she could wake up and talk to herself the next second.
The weather in Yucheng is very bad. The temperature is not the same as that of that island.
Lu Jinsheng wrapped a thick blanket on her, then took her out of the car and walked all the way to the villa.
One morning three days later.
The man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
It was still a white ceiling. The room was very quiet. She still had a needle on the back of her hand and gently turned her head. There was a person lying beside the bed, Lu Jinsheng.
Behind him is still a huge French window, even if the curtains are all opened, the room is very dark, outside the sky is pale, gloomy, under a blank, is a neat and bleak birch forest.
It seems that there is a light rain in the sky. Just looking at it, you can feel the piercing wind falling on your skin.
Tears gradually welled up in her eyes. She closed her eyes, split her mouth and laughed silently.
Her body was weaker than when she woke up on the island last time. She had no strength to speak, but her breathing sound was slightly heavier than when she was asleep, which pulled Lu Jinsheng back to reality from her shallow sleep.
Lu Jinsheng to her line of sight, there is something in the heart is slowly growing, as if in a moment to understand what.
He reached for the top of her hair, his eyelids moved twice, his voice was hoarse, he looked at her and said, "what do you want to do?"
Liang Shu stretched out her blue hand poked by the eye of the needle, pointed out the window and opened her mouth. "I want to... Have a look at the scenery."
The doctor first came in to examine her and confirmed that everything had improved before they left. She had just woken up and should have something to eat.
So Lu Jinsheng set up a simple small table in the French window, put the food on it, and then carried her.
The room was warm and there was no need to worry that she would be cold, but he put a shawl on her.
He just sat by and watched her eat, and his eyes fell on her for a moment, even a little nervous. When she finished her meal safely, Lu Jinsheng's nervous state relaxed and relaxed. Liang Shu held the spoon and looked at him. "Don't you eat something?" Although she is the one who is sick, it seems that Lu Jinsheng is no better than her these days. The man shook his head, thin lips close, "you eat." Liang Shu nodded, bowed his head and began to eat in silence. After feeding himself, he looked up out of the window. Maybe it's the influence of the environment. She has been here for a few days, and her health is gradually getting better. Lu Jinsheng is with her almost every day. There's no way to take a walk here. The weather outside is too bad, but there's no need for cooling. She has the same work and rest as on the island. The most time of the day is reading. Lu Jinsheng accompanies her. There are two study rooms here. Liang Shu used only one of them, and the other one was locked up, but Lu Jinsheng occasionally went in. She had heard him talk in it, so she thought that there should be a telephone in that study. It's just that she needs to find the key. One night, she was sitting in the living room downstairs eating fruit. Lu Jinsheng came out of the dining room and sat down beside her. Liang Shu handed her the fruit tray. He didn't like to eat this kind of food, but he took a piece and put it in his mouth. The sweet and bitter taste of the apple filled his mouth. Liang Shu asked him, "is it delicious?" Lu Jinsheng nodded. She handed over the fruit plate again. "Do you still eat it?" He ate another piece, and the corner of his mouth gradually softened. The next second, Liang Shu stared at the program on the TV and said to him, "I want to see Jiu Jiu. Can you take a video for me sometime?" Lu Jinsheng had no emotion on his face this time. Instead, he said, "if you want to, we can pick her up later and live together."“ Let's forget it. You can take a video for me first. I want to see her. " After two days, Lu Jinsheng really took a video for her. He took the tablet to her, took Liangshu in his hand, looked at him and said thank you chokingly. She went back to the room, locked the door, sat down on the carpet beside the bed, and then opened the video. The video is actually very short, less than a minute. The background is in Liang Jiujiu's school. She is led by Xu Shanhai and jumps out of the school gate. She is wearing a down jacket and a lovely hat. She is still restless and doesn't like to watch the road. Occasionally, she has to talk to Xu Shanhai. Liang Shu looked at it and cried. But I'm glad. Her daughter is still doing well after she left. I'm glad and sad. I don't know if the little girl will miss her often? This evening, Liang Shu did not go downstairs to eat. When Lu Jinsheng opened the door with the spare key of the villa, he didn't turn on the light. At first sight, he didn't find where she was. The room was very dark. Lu Jinsheng's heart missed a beat. When the Adam's apple rolled, he raised his hand and turned on the light. The dazzling light makes the woman lying on the ground slowly open her eyes. She gets up with the flat and squints at the man standing at the door. Lu Jinsheng's eyes flashed. He walked towards her and picked her up from the ground. "If you want to sleep, why don't you go to bed?" She rubbed her eyes. "I didn't expect to fall asleep. What time is it?"“ Seven in the evening, "he said," go downstairs and have dinner. " Liang Shu shook his head, "I'm not hungry, you eat." He stood still and looked at her“ What's the matter? " Liang Shu asked. Lu Jinsheng's lips moved and his eyes were deep and unusual. "Soon, we will leave here." Cool to relieve a heart to pull tight, the finger that hangs in the body side slowly clenches a ball, "why?" He just looked at her and didn't answer“ Did... He find it here? " Liang Shu asked carefully. Lu Jinsheng hooked his lips, picked his eyebrows and looked at her, "I hope so much?" She dropped her eyes and didn't speak. There wasn't much emotion on her face“ Then you'll be disappointed. He hasn't found it yet. " He said. Liang Shu pursed her lips and looked down at the ground. "Then why do we leave?"“ If you give up, we won't leave. " He said after. Liang Shu pinched his palm with his fingers and closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind. "Do I look like I haven't given up all these days?" After a pause, Liang Shu looked up at him and hissed, "so you're afraid of him, aren't you?"
