Hunting down the Northwest Wilderness

Liang Xu looked at the man in front of him—slightly chubby, somewhat defeated, and decently dressed, not like a poor family, wearing a silver-gray old-fashioned watch, and carrying a small leather bag commonly used by bosses.

His lips trembled a few times, and he turned around and wanted to leave.Liang Xu grabbed him tightly: "Follow me!"

He has been familiar with boxing since he was a child. Although he looks gentle and gentle, his hand is like an iron fist. Father Luo was dragged by him all the way to the end of the corridor.

He really doesn't look like Luo Xiaoning at all, Liang Xu thought, this man's appearance is so ordinary that he can forget it at first sight, with a flat nose bridge, small eyes, so collapsed that he has no features, and so small that he is completely ordinary.Luo Xiaoning is like a piece of glass carefully crafted by the Creator. It has been carefully blown and burned, and every corner has been carefully polished. Even the peach blossom scar on his forehead is deliberately carved, while his father is the yawning perfunctory of the Creator. Works, even if holding it for a long time, I can't remember this face at all - the difference between them is that Nuwa pinches people and Nuwa throws mud.

The two faced each other silently at the end of the corridor, with ugly expressions on their faces, Liang Xu was sensitive and suspicious, while the other was shivering in panic.

"You heard it all."

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Xu finally asked this sentence.As if in response to his question, Father Luo's tears fell instantly, and he choked up, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start, and he just shed tears.

"...Child, you have suffered too."

For a long time, he said this sentence with difficulty.

Liang Xu saw Liang Feng's shadow in him, so he didn't need to ask anything, Liang Xu's tears also filled his chest.

"I don't ask who entrusted you, nor how you raised Xiaoning, but since you accepted the entrustment, why didn't you treat Xiaoning well?"

After hesitating for a long time, he asked him with tears and anger.

Luo's father's face turned red and then turned pale. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I...me too...I can't help it."

As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands.

Unlike Liang Feng, he really looks like an ordinary person. He has the kind of submissiveness that petty citizens often have—he carefully buttoned the top button of his shirt, the Youngor label he reluctantly cut off on his sleeve, His slumped hair, wet with water and tousled with sweat—every detail reveals his cowardice, cowardice, and common sense.Just as all his attire is to make people "don't laugh", all his principles of behavior are the "duties" that Chinese people strictly abide by.In the eyes of young aspirants, Mr. Luo is a representative of weakness and incompetence. They live mediocrely like worker ants and worker bees. They live only to set off the glory of this heroic age. They are the mud and sand under the feet of heroes.

——But no one knows that there is a great and brave heart hidden in this mediocre body. He protects the orphan of the Jinchuan case and lives cautiously to this day.

Yes, not everyone has the ability of Liang Feng, and not everyone has the courage to face the horrific facts of the Jinchuan case.

Liang Feng is too rare, while Luo's father is just an ordinary "majority".He was able to risk the danger to protect the orphan, which is already a great kindness. He was afraid, Liang Xu could understand, and he was shrinking, Liang Xu also understood.

Without knowing where the courage came from, Liang Xu pondered for a moment, and boldly asked: "Uncle Luo, if Xiaoning is really troublesome to you, I can come and raise him. My father is more qualified than you. I have passed the exam now. As a graduate student, the family is not difficult, and I welcome Xiaoning to live in."

Father Luo was taken aback, his face turned paler, and he took a few steps back, saying, "No, no, how can this work."

"Nothing is wrong." Liang Xu said frankly: "I like Xiaoning, and Xiaoning only trusts me. We have been here for so many years, and he has gradually improved. I know this request is sudden, but I hope you can think about it."

What he said was a bit gay, but Liang Xu didn't think about it at all at the time. He liked Luo Xiaoning out of complete and pure kindness.Since his family is in such a difficult situation, it is better to raise the two children together.

He didn't ask Liang Feng for his opinion, but he felt that Liang Feng would definitely agree. It has been 12 years, although Liang Feng and him are not biological father and son, they are already in the same mind as a parent and son.

Luo's father hesitated, thinking and thinking: "No, no, this is absolutely not possible." He raised his head: "Xiao Liang, I was wrong in the past, I was too timid. But Xiaoning, I don't care, you Seeing that he is injured, I will definitely come to see him. Don't worry, I will take him home in two days, and I will not lack anything that should be given to him!"

Liang Xu believed this, his family was willing to spend so much money for hospitalization, and he would not treat Luo Xiaoning badly when he went back. Liang Xu was just a little surprised, he didn't expect to make Xiaoning's return home so easy.

He felt a little lost for a moment, hesitantly, he asked Father Luo: "Uncle, after Xiaoning comes home, can I still see him?"

The other party also hesitated, thought for a while, and nodded: "If he wants to see you, it's up to the two of you to decide."

Liang Xu recalled that his accent was indeed like that of a Jinchuan native, but he had lived in the city for a long time, and his pronunciation had a bit of a Shanpu meaning.Unlike himself, Luo Xiaoning was left alone - of course, if Liang Feng was not an athlete, then he would have grown up in Zhichuan.

A week later, Luo Xiaoning was discharged from the hospital and went home. Liang Xu came to see him off. Luo's father declined several times, but Liang Xu insisted on sending them home.Dean Lin is a person who can make a fuss, so he specially asked Liang Xu to drive a luxury ambulance to send him back. Liang Xu couldn't laugh or cry: "How can someone drive an ambulance to take someone out of the hospital?"

Dean Lin is a shrewd and capable businessman from Putian, who is good at doing favors in small matters. His hospital needs the support of senior talents most, so it is a joy to send such favors.He graciously posted to the newly promoted master: "Then why not, let others see the good deeds you have done!"

Dean Lin is still not enough, he also wants to call on local reporters to do a special interview on "good people and good deeds", and at the same time give himself some light on his face - Liang Xu and Luo's family both sternly refused, and Dean Lin was stunned Quiet flags and drums.

Luo Xiaoning was always depressed on the way home, and he refused to get out of the car when he got home, pulling on Liang Xu's sleeve, just crying.

Liang Xu comforted him with kind words: "Brother will come to you to play, tomorrow, tomorrow I will come to you."

Luo Xiaoning's father stood under the car door, embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Xiao Liang, I beg you for one thing." Finally, Mr. Luo pulled him aside: "Can you please stop visiting my child."

"..." Liang Xu looked at him sharply. This was different from what they had agreed at the beginning. This request was almost shameless.

Mr. Luo wiped his sweat: "I, I, you need to give me some time to get close to him. I used to be busy outside."

Liang Xu was silent.

Seeing that he refused to agree, Mr. Luo begged him again: "It's not that I won't let you see each other in the future. You've missed coming twice recently, and you can see what he's doing upstairs."

This is disgusting. Luo Xiaoning didn't make a fuss at all. He was just unfamiliar with everything. He was like a dog that had just been bought home. , he dared not even sit in a chair.

His helplessness was a silent condemnation, and Mrs. Luo's face was always ugly.

Liang Xu thought again and again: "...you have to promise not to let him be wronged."

"He is my child, how can I wrong him." Mr. Luo promised and promised: "OK? After all, you have no relatives, reasons or relationship with him—Xiao Liang, I thank you for your kindness, but you also You can’t say that you will live with him for the rest of your life, can you?”

As he spoke, he stuffed Liang Xu with a big red envelope: "Forget it, I beg you."

Liang Xu pushed the red envelope away, chewing on the words "no relatives, no reason", feeling very stabbing.

"Have you visited his house?" Fang Lingshu asked, "Where does he live?"

"Cuihua Road." Liang Xu said, "The conditions are not good... The bed and the room are temporarily tidied up. The neighborhood is fine, but the house is not well decorated—in short, Xiaoning is not welcome, let alone me."

"It's because my thinking is too simple, I should have seen it long ago." Softly, he said to himself.

Fang Lingshu didn't understand what he meant by that.

Liang Xu turned his face and took a look at Fang Lingshu. It was raining heavily outside, and the entire Hongqing Mountain was shrouded in darkness with lightning and thunder.

They hid in the car, in order to prevent Luo Xiaoning from waking up, Liang Xu gave him a diazepam.

"...You really look like a doctor butcher." Fang Lingshu was annoyed: "Wake up when you wake up, why give him random injections."

"The injection was also your fault." Liang Xu was not angry, he said calmly, "Xiaoning is emotionally unstable and also injured, give him an injection and let him sleep well. I also pushed the glucose for him, so He will cry in a storm."

Three people, one fell asleep, and the other two sat with their knees hugged. In the dark car, they didn't even dare to turn on the lights, they only turned on the heater to maintain the temperature.

Of course Fang Lingshu wanted to turn on the light, and turning on the light was to ask for help—but Liang Xu forbade it.

Now the police are probably still searching the mountain, Fang Lingshu thought, if his father is in command, it must be this ancient plan that came out - to block the foot of the mountain and conduct a carpet search.

Fang Lingshu could almost imagine his father's serious constipated expression: "A group of three! Don't leave alone! Keep communicating!"

--is that useful?If you ask Zou Kaiwen this question, Zou Kaiwen will definitely say: "This kind of search is ineffective." Because the road is slippery in rainy days, manpower and material resources are wasted, and the helicopters of the armed police cannot take off. All effective pursuits can only be suspended, and everything depends on walking. Searching—this kind of search has no meaning, it can only be said to be doing your best, and Fang Lingshu doesn't need this kind of heart at all.

When Hong Qingshan came, Lintong was on the same road, and when he went there, the main road led to Rome. Liang Xu was not mentally handicapped, so he was still waiting for him to turn around and run to Lintong?

Liang Xu must also be hesitating now. It is impossible to return to Lintong. Either go north to Lantian County, or continue east and take the risk of returning to the city from Baqiao.He ran out risking his life, not because he wanted to die in love with Luo Xiaoning in the mountains, since he said "there are still important things to do", then he probably wanted to go to Lantian County.

Fang Lingshu has been trying to guide Liang Xu to say this "most important thing".

Liang Xu seems to have learned Bailianhua's trick of pretending to be blind. After talking about feelings and life, he just doesn't talk about the main points.

But Fang Lingshu couldn't be in a hurry.

Liang Xu was probably waiting for the rain to stop, because if he wanted to go to Lantian County in the north, he would have to climb over the mud road in the mountains. Now that the road is slippery due to the heavy rain, the mud road is all dangerously overhanging the cliff, and driving is tantamount to death.

If Fang Zhengjun used his brains, he should immediately contact the Lantian police and set up surveillance on the national and provincial highways in Lantian County.The eagle hugs the rabbit and never plunges into the grass. The eagle always waits for the rabbit to jump out by itself, and then kills it with another blow.

...Of course, Fang Zhengjun couldn't be blamed for this, he knew nothing about Liang Xu. In Fang Zhengjun's eyes, Liang Xu probably had his son hacked into pieces.

The purpose of taking hostages is to escape into the mountains. In the eyes of the police, Fang Lingshu is useless—killing people and abandoning corpses is justified.

A search is a search for a dead body.

Fang Lingshu felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his father's grief, and he could only sit here, talking in his head, which was useless.

It would be great if Kevin Zou was here.

"Put this on." He was stunned here, and Liang Xu pulled a non-woven sheet casually: "Wait a minute, I'll heat some sugar water for you to drink."

He used the radiator to warm up the infusion bag. Fang Lingshu was behind him and said strangely: "Heideng is blind, are you afraid that I will sneak attack you?"

"You can try." Liang Xu answered him tepidly.

Fang Lingshu wanted to hit him.

The wind blows past the carriage, and in the distance, there seems to be the sound of people shouting from the wind. After listening carefully, it turns out that it is the whistling sound of pines.

Branches flapped against the roof of the car.

Fang Lingshu stared out of the window in a daze. He hadn't experienced such complete darkness for a long time. With a little adaptation, this darkness was much purer and farther away than in the city, as if human eyes were originally born for darkness. In the dark wind and rain, there was a sudden burst of snow-white thunder and lightning, and everything could be seen clearly.

A big bird fell from the tree.

It's not dead yet, it probably has injured wings, and it's moaning and struggling beside the car door.

"Don't go down." Liang Xu came over: "If you can't save one, even if you save one, you can't save countless more. There are countless animals that will die in the night, will you save every one of them?"

Fang Lingshu felt that he was talking about himself.

"The wound will be infected in the rain, sit down." Liang Xu put the sugar water in his hand: "Drink this."

"Don't you drink?"

"I'll drink your leftovers." Liang Xu said.

Fang Lingshu decided not to give this bastard a drop.

He was sucking the sugar water, while Liang Xu stared at the wind and rain outside the window, lost in thought again.

People's feelings are really unpredictable things. They are often unconscious when they are with you, and you don't realize that you can't do without them until you lose them.

Liang Xu was afraid that Luo Xiaoning would cry, and also wanted him to adapt to his family. Although he promised to go the next day, he endured and endured, but he didn't go to Luo Xiaoning for a week.

He squatted in the laboratory that week, and there were not many lectures in advance. When he was not in class, Liang Xu and his classmates were in the dark in the Internet cafe, and they went from silver to diamonds in a week.

It was Liang Feng who asked him first: "Then Luo Xiaoning has gone back, why don't you go and have a look?"

Liang Xu answered him casually: "He always has to go home. When I go, he can't stay at home even more. It's not fair to his father."

Liang Feng became unhappy: "What is unfair? He was fair to you when he left his son in the hospital? Or did his father not allow you to see it?"

Liang Xu was upset: "Don't ask Dad, I know whether I will go or not."

When the father and son seldom quarreled, Liang Xu choked on his father's words for the first time. Liang Feng saw that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask any more, and just said: "Don't always make up for others. You agreed, If you don’t go, then you are a stupid boy, don’t do stupid things again.”

That night, Liang Xu couldn't sleep no matter what, Liang Feng's words kept piercing his heart, and he seemed to hear Luo Xiaoning crying somewhere, blaming him for not going.Seeing that it was ten o'clock, he fumbled out the door like a ghost, wandering towards Cuihua Road.

He walked very slowly, he didn't think about anything, and he didn't know why he came out this time. At this point, everyone should be asleep except for the young people who stayed up all night.

He walked all the way downstairs to Luo Xiaoning's house.

Unexpectedly, or as expected, Luo Xiaoning's window was lit, and there was a person lying on the window, like a puppy guarding the house, staring out blankly.

——Who else is it if it’s not Luo Xiaoning?

Liang Xu walked under his window, Luo Xiaoning probably felt that he was dreaming, and the two of them didn't speak for a while.

Liang Xu looked up at him.

The moonlight shines down, and the scene is like Romeo and Juliet in a tryst.

Luo Xiaoning looked at him for a while, and probably couldn't believe it, just like sleepwalking, Luo Xiaoning simply turned out of the window!He was like a small animal in a cage, staring eagerly through a dormer window, softly, he called out:

"elder brother."

Only then did Liang Xu wake up. He didn't know why all the tears came down. He didn't dare to shout loudly, but was anxious: "Go back! Go back!"

Luo Xiaoning refused to go back, lying on the dormer window and shouting again: "Brother!"

Liang Xu was afraid that something might happen to him, so he didn't dare to shout anymore. Shame and sadness welled up in his heart. He didn't ask why Luo Xiaoning wasn't sleeping at this time, because there was no need to ask. He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand, and said in a low voice. : "Go back quickly! Will you open the door? You open the door, open the door and come out, don't lie on it!"

Luo Xiaoning was stunned for a while, but still stared at him.

Liang Xu spoke incoherently: "Xiaoning, open the door for me, let me see you."

These words touched Luo Xiaoning, he said "uh", turned around and crawled back, and bumped his head against the window lattice while climbing, but this didn't stop him from happily running towards the door.

Liang Xu also took three steps and made two steps to catch up upstairs.

Luo Xiaoning groped in the dark and opened the door. They hugged each other as if they were parting from each other, neither of them understood why they were crying, because it was not a farewell, but this week was really hard.

He was still wearing old clothes, Liang Xu's old clothes, he got into Liang Xu's arms and refused to come out.

Liang Xu hugged him, as if taking back a treasure lent to others, he just felt that something was broken, he touched Luo Xiaoning's face, he seemed to lose weight in a week.

"Brother, you don't want me anymore." Luo Xiaoning stopped crying now, and just asked him blankly.

Liang Xu couldn't explain it, and he was afraid of alarming people at this point, so he had to coax him in a low voice: "It's my brother's fault, brother should have come to see you a long time ago, brother...I have something to do."

Luo Xiaoning didn't cry or fuss, just snuggled into his arms: "I don't like this place, brother, I'll go with you!"

At that moment, Liang Xu really wanted to pick him up and take him away.

——But this is Luo Xiaoning's home, and they live not far away. If he takes him away, what will he do tomorrow?

He walked back alone under the moonlight, thinking about Luo Xiaoning's parting question to him all the time.

"—Come tomorrow?"

Unconsciously, he felt that Luo Xiaoning should belong to him and should not be handed over to anyone, because he was not at ease in handing it over to anyone.

At midnight on the streets of Chang'an, the bitter spring breeze blew, and he felt a familiar smell on his body. He lowered his head to smell his sleeves, only to find that it was the medicine smell on Luo Xiaoning's body.

He rolled up his sleeves and wrapped up the wisp of medicine gas in his sleeves, for fear that a gust of spring wind would blow it away.
