Lin Yixiong insisted on going to the police academy back then, but the whole family opposed it. According to the words of the old lady who hurt her son: When you were in junior high school, a little thief with a head no thicker than your thighs sneaked downstairs in the evening and rode your father's bicycle away. You took a popsicle Carrying a schoolbag, just watching helplessly without daring to step forward to take it off, you and I don't know?Three points of energy and seven points of weakness, if you become a policeman, society will be over!

He said it harshly, and he said it quite accurately.

Ordinarily, who came out of the police academy without ambition?Who hasn't thought about a wanted criminal in one hand and a 92 police gun in the other?Of course, it has to be admitted that ideals and ambitions are things like a big fat man walking a long march of [-] miles, marching day by day and month by step, from fat and fleshy to as thin as a poker, and what is left in the end can only be a patchwork Reality.Do you have something to eat?Yes; five social insurance and one housing fund are available?The unit is buying it; can it afford the son to eat, drink and go to school?Barely enough; do you still have the energy to pretend?No, old.

With such an increasingly clear attitude, Lin Yixiong worked at the Qingyi District Police Station, from working in the prime of his life to suddenly appearing old, leaving behind the illusory, and has long since become an old fritter with a water glass in his root, wandering around with bits and pieces.The intern in the police station, with acne on his forehead, came with a lonely face, changed into stiff clothes, only to find out that he was dispatching the police, watching people, taking notes, watching all kinds of cunning and sophistry, watching All kinds of unimaginable verbal disputes.Seeing doubts about life, he pondered the intricate human nature at a young age.Lin Yixiong had to be dragged by these bastards to secretly ask, Uncle Lin, how did you manage to do this job for decades, my God?It's so grueling.What can Lin Yixiong say?I have to admit: boil it, you will get used to it after a long time.

He didn't know if it was because men of his age all had the faint illusion of being powerless, smoked cigarettes one after another in their spare time, were anxious about getting old and young, lost their hair and lost their kidneys and woke up frequently at night. Lost impulse, all recall the past.Qiu Jing can be regarded as a good harbor for him to avoid the wind and complain in these years. She heard that he is lonely and anxious, playing poor to please, not very abundant but occasionally has physical needs, and living with a partner, which is almost the same meaning.I'm sorry for Qiu Jing, but what Lin Yixiong remembers the most is actually the days before he divorced Li Xiaoxing.That marriage was not a precise bonding of two broken pieces, but something that was written innocently and full of love and sorrow, and was devoted to a lifetime from the beginning, even if it ended up being a result of being disgusted by two people.It used to be a circle, and he and she hugged each other to form a circle, covering a precious Li Yuan that was trying to grow up under the light and rain.

At that time, the days were really like a red sun, with such beautiful pomegranate red, brushing on the eyelids, as if opening them, there was a wild fragrance of birds and flowers.At that time, there was really a rush, and it was the rush that gave birth to the moral justice and heroic spirit of the whole body; at that time, with a brand-new police badge, I really wished I could go out on patrol and go around and catch twenty car thieves in one go.Good to go home and love his wife, laughing and bragging for rewards complacently, then raised his son high above his head, and asked with a loud smile: "Is Dad amazing?"

Dad is great, right?These words are like making the little thieves yell "Stop and don't move", it's so contrary to harmony, Lin Yixiong feels that it shouldn't be his lines.After the 46th year, he really never fantasized about being a hero, so he couldn't explain why he rushed to grab the kidnapper's knives from that dog tonight because of that little boy.As a result, before he had time to figure out whether he had slippery feet or the salty box lunch of Thirty's Er, his right hand felt the usual numbness, and poof, he was stabbed severely.He looked down without saying a word, the blade was shiny and covered with snow foam, and it rubbed into the meat impressively, the blood dripped and dripped into the buttocks, dripping onto the toe of the shoe.

damn it!If I want to return to West Africa, I can’t wait for my son to finish his college entrance examination? !

I haven't given birth to a mother yet!

Lin Yixiong was carried onto the squeaking 120, and before he passed out completely, his mind was full of these irrelevant things.

Neither You Kaifeng nor Peng Xiaoman have ever seen Li Yuan who is so bewildered.Wearing slippers, he ran outside, desperately reaching out to stop the taxi, wishing to let the car rush out of the rocket speed, repeatedly urging, and rubbing repeatedly all the way, sweating palms.You Kaifeng sat in the co-driver to navigate Qingyi No. [-] Hospital for the black car master who was [-] years old and still couldn't get home, while Peng Xiaoman sat beside Li Yuan, silently worried, watching him staring out the window with a stiff expression, staring at the The fast backing poles of street lamps pull bright yellow long exposures in the field of vision.

There are not too few patients in the Second Hospital during the Chinese New Year, men and women, standing all over the corridor of the emergency department.When I was rushing home, I was hit by a car three meters away. I didn’t eat a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner and my family suffered from acute food poisoning. Bone, um, huh, yelling for pain.It doesn't matter whether you celebrate the festival or not, life is full of life, and all kinds of bad luck remind you.Lin Yixiong was dispatched by the police to confiscate illegal fireworks. He ran into a kidnapper at the entrance of Qingnian Road, and did not say a word.He was sent to the hospital in a hurry, blood flowed all over the bed, and the person was in shock, so he was immediately pushed into the operating room.

When Li Yuan flew over, there was a group of Lin Yixiong's colleagues around the door, and the colleagues surrounded Qiu Jing, who had a slightly protruding belly, patted her shoulders and softly comforted her.Li Yuan approached quickly, panting heavily, swallowed hard, and asked, "How is my dad?"

People turned their heads one after another, and Qiu Jing did the same.Her desolate and helpless expression is enough to make all mothers sympathize, Li Yuan inevitably startled as if the weight of the elevator car was weightless, countless presuppositions flooded her mind, and the worst one always came out first.Simply because the colleague is not related to the incident, it is not so related to human relations, so he can calmly and unobtrusively say: "You are Lao Lin's son, right? Your father suffered a spleen injury, and the blood loss is a bit serious. It has been a while since the operation, but don't worry too much , should be fine."

Li Yuan pursed her lips, looked at Qiu Jing, and Qiu Jing also looked at him, her eyes moved slightly but she didn't say anything.The atmosphere of the relationship between the two seems to be implicated but can't be really warmed up. Lin Yixiong, a colleague of the police station who is full of life, secretly understands it, and jokes in his heart: stepmother and stepson, as expected, there is no relationship and we can get along well .Li Yuan can't describe what Qingxin feels like now, it's neither full of worries, nor completely falling, like falling from the top floor, being caught by the collar of an advertising light, making an emergency stop, dangerous, floating in the sky, ready to go again at any time fall.

Li Yuan's chest swelled visibly, then deflated, pointing to the other side of the corridor: "I, I'll go out for a while."

He turned around and left, as if it had nothing to do with him, and it wasn't his own father lying inside.They were all taken aback.

"Well, Mr. Xiaoman." You Kaifeng gently pushed Peng Xiaoman from behind, and said in a low voice, "Come and see, I'll wait here."

Peng Xiaoman nodded to regain his senses before following him.

Li Yuan didn't leave the hospital, but pushed the closed wooden door of the emergency passage. A slender tree shadow stood against the wall at the entrance of the dark stairs. And stroked his chin.Li Yuan went to touch the cigarette, thankful that she had brought it, she took a sip and lit the fire, the light and dark rhythm of the fire, but it turned out to be unfavorable, and she choked on the second sip.He clenched his fist against the tip of his nose and coughed quickly.

Peng Xiaoman opened the door and leaned halfway in, stared at him, and found that he looked as usual, so he also stood at the stairs to purify his second-hand smoke, closed the door and asked him: "People are waiting there, why don't you come here to smoke?" It's quite a wave." Peng Xiaoman didn't raise his face like a mourning concubine, and advised him not to be sad, it's okay, just make fun of him as usual, and he is not afraid of being beaten back by him.It was because Peng Xiaoman felt that if mortals were not dead, nothing would matter, and everything could still be turned around.

"Smoking is for peace of mind." Li Yuan pressed her head against the white wall, "I'm just kneeling there now, and I can do whatever I want during the surgery."

Peng Xiaoman took his hand and shook it, brushing his palm: "Mom, it's sweaty."

"It's like riding a roller coaster, what do you think?" Li Yuan tugged him towards him.

"But let me say something harsh." Peng Xiaoman leaned against the wall and stood beside him, becoming a shadow of a tree, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold hands with him: "Only once in a while, you will know what is important." Pause After a pause, he added: "I knew about it a long time ago, but it's useless now."

Li Yuan's heart ached uncontrollably, for Peng Xiaoman's words, and for everything she had in mind.With this hand sweat, Li Yuan has to admit that when Lin Yixiong had an accident, she was actually the first to be shaken, not because of some love in her heart, but she looked around and realized that everything about her was still Lin Yixiong supply.Whether material, emotional, or a sense of faith.It’s like a dilapidated ancestral hall standing in the countryside on the way home. It’s similar to Xingyue. You don’t necessarily want or think about it all the time, but you selfishly believe that it must be there. It’s very meaningful, otherwise everything around you will be destroyed lost its original meaning.

In the end, Li Yuan was suddenly overjoyed and pinched Peng Xiaoman's jaw: "Suddenly remembered what my dad said before."

"What are you talking about?" Peng Xiaoman turned to look at him, infected by Li Yuan's ambiguous smile, he also responded and hooked his lips.

"Just the day you were pinched by a crab."

"Yeah." Peng Xiaoman touched his nose, "Just remember that sentence, don't keep remembering that I was pinched."

"My dad said, dad is dad, dad is not Monkey King." Li Yuan held the cigarette in her hand, and there was a trash can next to her, dusting off the ashes. "I'm going to compare him to this. He's never been like anyone. I really shouldn't think he's supposed to be like that. You know?"

Don't focus on the complete concept of family affection, increase the load, and hang too much beyond its own meaning.

Lin Yixiong's foundation was still not bad, he was pushed out of the operating room and entered the nursing ward, he woke up from anesthesia for half an hour, his condition stabilized in half an hour, and then he was transferred to the general surgery ward.According to the chief surgeon: the spleen problem is not serious, just bleed a little on the seam and it will be fine. Go back and get some pig liver and fungus to eat more. Don't worry too much about other family members, there is nothing wrong with it.The slippery Li Yuan felt that his father just went in and got a hemorrhoid, which blinded him to sweat in vain.Qiu Jing's chest almost bulged, and she sighed again, her weight trembled and she wanted to stagger to the side, but it was Li Yuan who stretched out her hand to support her.

Lin Yixiong was out of breath, with water attached to his hands, lying on his back without moving, his pale mouth moving and his eyes closed, cursing softly: "...the New Year's Eve suffers from such crap, it's been a year. It's all fucking bad luck, it's just a fucking kidnapper who dares to take a knife and a gun, he's afraid that he won't last long in prison."

"Hey, you can stop talking a few words, stabbing a knife can't stop your nonsense mouth." Qiu Jing supported her belly and pulled the cabinet, looked under the bed, looked around, and estimated a week's hospital observation. To bring some necessary daily necessities, "I'm still hurting when I'm hurt."

"...Why don't you let me say a few words after dying?" Lin Yixiong slowly turned his head and glanced at her.

"It's your fault if you die, let you eat this bowl of rice." Qiu Jing looked at Li Yuan, who was sitting on the side, staring at Lin Yixiong's expressionless face. , God gave you a chance to be a hero, isn't it good?"

"Bah." Lin Yixiong really wanted to bah out of the mundane world, and put on a confident look, but the reality didn't allow it, and his stomach would explode easily.

Li Yuan seldom said such words, but every now and then, she had to comfort Lin Yixiong: "I don't want you to be a hero."

Lin Yixiong froze for a moment, stared at the ceiling, moved his eyes to look at Li Yuan, and opened his mouth.

"Just don't be a bear."

Lin Yixiong stretched out his hand on the quilt, and gently pawed and pulled it in the air, as if trying to confuse Li Yuan's slap in the face.Qiu Jing was provoked and said nothing, neither did Li Yuan, but she also smiled.

Peng Xiaoman dragged out the nylon recliner from under Li Yuan's bed, dusted off the dust, and handed it to You Kaifeng to carry it.You Kaifeng was like a cement-carrying decorator, cursing as he went downstairs: "My mother, Li Yuan, why is that bird man so good at calling people? The one who went to the hospital gave his stepmother a bed." The left shoulder changed to the right shoulder, "If you want to live with him in the future, he must bully you to death, that stinky shameless one?"

Peng Xiaoman locked the door of Li Yuan's house, put the key in his pocket, jumped downstairs in three steps and followed Kaifeng upstream, coughed loudly and turned off the lights, took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate his feet as he went down the stairs, "He also divides people .”

"Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo." You Kaifeng was so dangerous that he was not a flower cavity, and he laughed narrowly: "Show, show you to death, how to divide people? "

Peng Xiaoman was truly disgusted, and frowned in disgust: "Stop insulting Romeo."

"No, don't you two talk sweet words when you're in love?" You Kaifeng freed up a hand to scratch his neck, and Peng Xiaoman helped him up, "Well, why do you like you and love you so much? You want to be together forever—"

"Hey hey hey hey it's alright! I can't stand the nausea anymore." Peng Xiaoman crossed his arms and raised his legs on the spot, "Okay, let me confess, as long as I like it, there is no more."

"Didn't you two even say you like it after having sex?! So is it pure love or not pure love?"

Peng Xiaoman stomped on the lights on the first floor: "What the hell?"

"Hey, I'm guessing, I'm guessing, your male ticket is not the kind of person who is willing to tell your buddies about everything." You Kaifeng waved his hand and smiled: "I'll tell you a secret, he must not be embarrassed to tell you. "

"Quick, quick, quick, quick!" Peng Xiaoman slapped his hands, hungry and thirsty.

"Didn't I train in Qiyuan before? He went back to find me the aspiration form that I sent to the old class for us to fill out. It happened that I went to have dinner with him after class. I changed the training clothes and walked out of the stairs. You, Lord Bird, stand in front of the honor roll with your arms folded and a serious face on your face. I thought to myself, what kind of country leader did you see with a face full of bitterness and hatred?" You Kaifeng put down the reclining chair to stabilize himself, sat on his buttocks, and looked at Peng Xiaoman He took out his mobile phone and tried his luck on Didi, "Do you know which one he is looking at?"

It's easy to guess.Peng Xiaoman touched the tip of his nose, "Xian Yiting?"

"Smart." You Kaifeng snapped his fingers: "I leaned over to look at it, and I laughed and said jealous? People are more handsome than you, you can't accept it, people have almost no flaws in Xiao Manjun's heart, open up and don't be jealous Yes. Guess what he said?"

"He must have said he wasn't jealous."

"Oh, you're the one who knows the best of birds, you're always on the edge." You Kaifeng wrinkled his nose and shook his head, "That's what he said."

"I can't be jealous, Peng Xiaoman didn't say that he likes him. But if," Li Yuan stared at the terribly handsome color photo, she couldn't help laughing, as if saying something stupid: "If I were this Xian Yiting, I would know Peng Xiaoman Since I was a child, I would not be willing to let him go to the step of transferring to a second year of high school."

"I said, do you love him or like him?" You Kaifeng put on the down hood, covered his mouth with his collar, and said sullenly: "He said, is it necessary to report to you? I said I was curious." , he said, he loves it and loves it. Hey, don’t be surprised by me, Qiongyao. He also looks like he deserves to die."

Peng Xiaoman turned his head sideways, laughed out loud, and became worried again.

"But he admitted, Mr. Xiaoman, he didn't lie to you." You Kaifeng smiled and looked at Peng Xiaoman's nose that was reddened by the cold wind, "I think he can't open his mouth if he wants to scratch his ears and cheeks, and he is almost not interested in asking him. He just nodded to me."

Mmm, love.

Loitering under the North Wind Lantern, it's like a wine-soaked knife scratching your face and brushing your hair.Peng Xiaoman wanted to laugh in his heart: You know what love is, so love?Then I thought again, how could someone like Li Yuan not know.Love is love, only look at the shape itself, and it is the most unfair to distinguish true from false because of age.

Back at the hospital, Li Yuan was sitting in the corridor, resting her head against the white wall, closing her eyes and taking a nap.You Kaifeng put down the reclining chair against the wall and rubbed his shoulders, Peng Xiaoman walked over and bent down, covered Li Yuan's eyelids with cold palms, the cold made him shiver, sat up straight, grabbed Peng Xiaoman's wrist and pressed down.You Kaifeng rolled his eyes at the side, thinking that it was only Peng Xiaoman, if he was so incompetent, his elbow might have been used by Li Yuan and his old man.

"Why wait at the door to meditate? It's like acting in a medical drama." Peng Xiaoman withdrew his hand and rubbed his hands.

"Someone is coming inside, I'm too lazy to go in and listen."

You Kaifeng had enough rubbing, and sat down next to him: "Who?"

"Aunt and Aunt."

"...they?" The absurd sword shadow and sword light that Li Yuan said in a few words still lingered in his ears, Peng Xiaoman glanced at the closed door of the ward, and was taken aback: "Didn't fight?"

"Unless you want to get out for the security guards." Li Yuan rubbed her face, stood up and stamped her feet, and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

"Walking?" You Kaifeng asked with a black question mark: "Three nines are not three volts, my dear brother, and those who are in the dark will be transferred to the mortuary."

"Then brother, why don't you go back first?" Li Yuan stretched out her arms and hooked Peng Xiaoman over without any explanation, and walked towards the exit of the corridor, "Then we will go by ourselves."

"Presumptuous!" You Kaifeng quickly got up and followed, and said seriously: "Warning you two, don't even think about doing bad things in the grove of the hospital."

Li Yuan reached out and yanked off his hoodie, and pressed his head between his legs.

When I went out and looked up, I realized that the snow had started to fall for no reason, like a handful of salt grains, scurrying to Qingyi unobtrusively, neither disturbing the Meteorological Bureau nor the circle of friends with fancy New Year greetings. A gift of silence between the old and the new.The shadows of the trees in the vestibule of the inpatient department are continuous, and the snow particles sifted through the leaves and fluttered freely with the wind, without grounds.You Kaifeng walked slowly, put his pockets in his pockets, whistled with a simple melody, and reached out to catch a few pieces of drifting snow and crushed them in his palms; Li Yuan and Peng Xiaoman stood side by side, with their pockets in their pockets.

I always think that something with a sense of ceremony is needed to greet, and I feel that all that should be said has been said.If it is more convenient on the adult's wine table, it is enough to say "it's all in the wine", raise your head and drink it, showing the bottom of the cup and going around for a circle.

"Aren't you going home tonight?" Peng Xiaoman shrank his neck and asked Li Yuan along the dim yellow traces under the straight street lights, facing the snow.

"En." Li Yuan nodded, "Aunt Qiu has to go home to take care of her daughter, her daughter is too young to stay at home by herself."

"Then you..." Peng Xiaoman couldn't help worrying, "In a few days, you will have to go to the preliminary exam for the admissions exam?" Doesn't it affect you?

Li Yuan felt that You Kaifeng was almost unwilling to be a [-]-watt light bulb, and he walked faster and faster, almost becoming a fluffy ink dot in the snow.Li Yuan touched Peng Xiaoman's arm with the back of her hand, tacitly, the two held hands knowingly.The palms are considered warm, ironed together.

"It's just two nights. It's okay to just read in the ward during the day. I've learned that the earthquake won't affect me." Li Yuan paused: "My aunt and aunt will replace me the day after tomorrow."

Peng Xiaoman was taken aback, he couldn't believe it.

"Surprised?" Li Yuan turned her face to look at him staring, and smiled.

"...Didn't it collapse?"

"It's broken, but it's surprisingly fine tonight. I was also taken aback. My second aunt came in and saw my dad's injury. She shed tears. My aunt can actually pass her a paper." Li Yuan I feel that there will be no one else except the three of them on the path I am walking now, and it may not be people.He stopped Peng Xiaoman, hugged him from behind, closed his eyes and fixed it: "That's why I think that my thinking of the world is too simple."

Peng Xiaoman felt that he was leaning against a human-shaped radiator, and felt relieved and happy: "So what did you think?"

"It's either black or white, hating you is hating you." Li Yuan smiled, "In the end, I found out that these adults are really dicks. I can hate you or love you."

"Hey, to be honest." Peng Xiaoman couldn't help confirming to the person involved, and gave him an elbow, and asked, "Did you say you love me?"

"No." Li Yuan quickly pressed her in denial, as if she was afraid that someone would bite her if she said it slowly, "I only dare to say that I like you now, and the rest will come later, so I can't say it now."

Although it was denied, Peng Xiaoman didn't feel disappointed at all without the expected overwhelming enthusiasm.He appreciates Li Yuan's lovely arrogance, his fascinating rigorousness and solemnity, and how much he cherishes, cares and focuses on this relationship.Peng Xiaoman could feel that Li Yuan liked her as the future.In order to give back, he should have no hesitation.

Still pretending to be extremely disappointed: "Go away, I don't love you either."

Li Yuan snorted with a laugh: "It's fine if you like it."

The shadows under the lamp are diffused into a group, the two layers overlap and the ink color is thicker, forming a triangle with You Kaifeng's group.
