embrace the moon

The weather is getting worse, the wind and rain are blowing, and the pouring is constant.

One autumn rain and one cold.Gu Yu took out his umbrella from the umbrella stand as the cold wind gusted, braved the heavy rain and rushed out of the library with the umbrella indiscriminately.There are layers of complicated steps, and the clean sneakers are suddenly stained with rain and cement stains, and water splashes fly up with the sound of pattering footsteps, wrapping around the trousers.

Outside the school gate, on the stormy street, vehicles ran over the rain, splashed huge water, and sped past him.Holding an umbrella and covered in water, Gu Yu watched the vehicles fly by one after another, and hurriedly stopped a taxi.

"Master, drive faster!" Gu Yu looked at the vehicles lined up neatly at the intersection, the scarlet traffic lights were hazy in the rain, blurring a flush.

The red light turns green, and the vehicle rolls forward like drops of water on a string.The driver started the car and shook his head helplessly, "The road is slippery in this rainy day, so we can't go fast."

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Gu Yu quickly opened the door and got out. When the door was closed, the driver turned around and waved to him, "Don't worry, young man, you'll be fine."

Gu Yu paused, closed the door, and replied, "Yes."

The lights in the hospital were still bright, Gu Yu threw away his umbrella and rushed to the floor, ignoring the wait for the elevator to come down, and went straight upstairs in two or three steps.When I rushed outside the operating room, the lights of "in operation" had not yet dimmed, and there were still a few people waiting outside.

He stopped abruptly, bent over and braced his knees, gasping for breath.The body is wet, the trousers are still dripping, and the clothes are already soaked.Gu Yu raised his head and stared intently at the light sign in the operating room.

When Yi Xianghan saw him coming, he immediately walked over and held him back, "I'm not feeling well this afternoon. Master, he has a bad heart and an old problem. Before going in, the doctor said..."

Gu Yu stared at the door of the operating room, as if all emotions were ebbing for a moment, he didn't feel sad, sad, anxious or worried, only silent numbness remained.

After a long time, the operating lights dimmed, and the tired doctor came out.

Gu Yu immediately greeted him.

The doctor took off his mask, was silent for a moment, and shook his head.

The world fell silent.

It's like sinking into the bottom of the sea, blinded all senses, and can't hear all sounds.

Blank.

I can't hear the anxious footsteps beside me, or the urgent words nearby.

As the night deepened, the lights in the ward were dim and soft.The person on the other end of the phone picked it up in a hurry and said in a hurry, "I have a very important meeting later, I will go there as soon as it is over."

He hung up the phone and gripped the phone so hard that even his fingertips became pale.

Gu Qianfan was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were blurred, and he was unconscious, muttering nonsense in his mouth.

Gu Yu sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hand tightly.

I still remember that when he first arrived at Huazhoutang, he didn't understand anything, and he followed grandma, not daring to talk to grandpa.

"Oh, you bastard," Gu Qianfan grabbed him by the collar, lifted him into the yard, and asked earnestly, "Tell me, did your grandma send me to supervise me?"

The little Gu Yu was anxious and frightened, so he quickly took two steps back and shouted to the kitchen: "Grandma! Grandma, help me!"

Gu Qianfan smiled instead of anger, and grabbed his collar with great interest, "Gu Xiaobao, I am your own grandfather, why do I want your life?"

Grandma came out of the kitchen with a spatula, wiped off the oil stains on her hands on the apron, pointed at Gu Qianfan, "Old Gu, what are you doing!"

Seeing the situation, Gu Yu immediately slipped out of the old man's hand like a slippery loach, hid behind grandma, and suddenly gained his backbone, "Grandma, grandpa just ate five pieces of bacon!"

"Hey! Gu Xiaobao!" Gu Qianfan made a gesture to catch him, Gu Yu was so anxious that he ran behind grandma, and grandma hurriedly protected him, and pointed at the old man with a spatula, "Gu Qianfan, I'm going to die! You! If you are told to eat less bacon, you will not listen, and dare to touch my grandson!"

When Gu Yu got older, Mr. Gu would try every means to lure Gu Xiaobao to inherit his mantle.

"Xiaobao, what compensation will you get for knocking over my paint?" Gu Qianfan grabbed him again, "Draw a picture for me to atone for."

Gu Yu stared at him, Gu Qianfan was full of anticipation, and put on a very flattering smile, "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, grandpa treats you the best, right? Don't always pick mud and play with this pen. Wow - you can paint a lot of colors."

Gu Yu was forced to shake the hand holding the paintbrush non-stop, and shouted: "Grandma! Grandma!"

"Old Gu!" Gu Yu's childhood hero stepped forward in time, "I'm forcing you again, I think you can draw a few flowers and plants, it's amazing!"

Gu Qianfan was very wronged, "Comrade Guixiang, I am a famous painter."

"You're an idiot! You couldn't even mow the lawn for me back then, and you're still a painter." Grandma held Gu Yu in her arms, "I'm telling you Gu Qianfan, if you dare to force Xiaobao to paint, you won't be Have a good time."

When grandma is there, the painting boat hall is really lively.The mouth-watering smell of oily smoke wafts from the kitchen, and the flowers in the yard are competing to bloom.Grandpa was painting, and grandma was making futons, fitting shoe soles, and knitting little sweaters for Xiaobao.

Later, the first apprentice came to the painting boat hall, which was Yi Xianghan.She is also a troublemaker, she opposes Gu Xiaobao in everything, she clearly stands on the old man's side, and takes pleasure in teasing him every day.

"Master, take care of Gu Xiaobao, he catches bugs and scares me!"

"Master, I don't take Gu Xiaobao to sketch, he is so stupid!"

Gu Xiaobao had no future, and whenever he was bullied, he would shout "Grandma" at the top of his voice, making all the neighbors know that Gu Yu was a little follower who followed grandma around.

At that time, my grandparents looked quite young, energetic, noisy, and laughing. They took him to climb the mountain and walked a long way in one breath.

Until grandma left, the world suddenly fell silent for a long time, and the golden-haired Huanghuang who had been with them for ten years also followed.

A few new members came to the painting boat hall, first Gu Meiniang, then Gu Laifu, and several new apprentices, gradually returning to the usual bustle.

But grandpa is getting old.

Since when did the skin on his hands become loose?Since when did his face already have dimples?

The doctor walked in for the third time, looked at the people on the hospital bed, and asked instead: "The effect of the last injection has expired, do I still need to use drugs to stay awake?"

Gu Qianfan stared at the ceiling in a daze, calling a name repeatedly in a low voice.

Gu Yu looked down at the phone, Gu Tianbai's name lay quietly on the screen, still dialing, but no one answered.

After a long time, he turned off his phone and looked at the person in front of him.With dry corners of the mouth and countless wrinkles, the murmured words couldn't be heard clearly, but he knew what grandpa was talking about.

Gu Yu's eyes were red, and he was as absent-minded as if he was out of strength. He shook his head lightly, and said in a deep voice, "No need."

The ward became quiet, but the rain was still pouring down outside the window, pouring down overwhelmingly.

"Guixiang, I'm here... I'm here," Gu Qianfan smiled slightly, his eyes cloudy, "Don't worry, our little treasure has grown up..."

Gu Yu held his hand trembling uncontrollably, and called him in a low voice, "Grandpa."

As time goes by, the sound of the rain drowns out everything in the world.

Gu Qianfan's breathing became more rapid and short, Gu Yu approached, hugged his shoulder, and then called, "Grandpa."

The strong wind knocked the windows one after another, some people wanted to come, some people wanted to go.

Gu Qianfan looked at the ceiling, blinked, took a breath, and sang intermittently in a low voice: "The stars in the sky don't talk, and the dolls on the ground miss their mother..."

Big drops of tears burst out of their eyes, and fell down, dripping on the backs of their tightly clenched hands. Gu Yu choked and cried, "Grandpa, I'm Xiaobao. Grandpa..."

Gu Qianfan still looked at the sky, wondering what he saw in that empty and pale place.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his consciousness was fuzzy, and he murmured in a hoarse voice:

"The stars in the sky don't speak..."

Weak choked sobs mixed with the sound of rain, and the wind blew in through the gap, and a chill made their hair flutter, like a fuzzy dream.

"The star on the sky……"

After the sound fell, Gu Qianfan gently closed his eyes, and the ECG monitor gave out a long mechanical beep, which sounded in the empty room.It was raining heavily outside the window, it was dark and gloomy, the sky was dark, and the Milky Way poured down.

His hand slowly opened, and a small silver key fell into Gu Yu's palm.

"grandfather."

"grandfather……"

Gu Yu was dizzy, almost out of breath, and slowly let go of his hand.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he was still dialing the number that hadn't been connected yet.Soon, his eyes were red, his eyes were dull, and he walked outside mechanically.

People outside rushed into the ward, and Gu Yu walked downstairs as if unconscious, step by step, step by step.

Outside, the wind and rain were miserable and torrential, pouring down on the ground, deafening.

He was walking on the road, and the pouring rain drenched him completely.A voice mixed with the sound of rain rang in his mind.

"There are many roads in a person's life, some are thorny, and some are flat and spacious. You have to be careful, the road without any obstacles may not get anywhere."

"If you are really good, even if you are in the quagmire, you can find a way out for yourself. It may not be the best, but you are always happy."

"People will not see the long years of your rooting, but only the moment when you bloom. But those who love you can see, everything you do, grandpa can see."

"Little Treasure, the road ahead is long. Grandpa can't be with you all the time. This is my only regret in this life."

"Xiaobao, if you are sad, just look up at the sky and the stars in the night sky. Grandpa and grandma will always love you."

"Little Treasure!" "Little Treasure?" "Little Treasure—"

"You are Xiaobao, right? When you come to the Painting Boat Hall, you must understand the rules, you know?"

The stars in the sky do not speak, but the dolls on the ground miss their mother

Why is the shooting star reluctant to fall, are you thinking of me too?

Did you hear what the wish said?Can starlight lead you to a home?

Why is it too late for the child to grow up, are you still crying?

The stars in the sky don't speak...

The cold rain seeped into the clothes, and the whole body was bitingly cold.Gu Yu's feet softened and he fell down.Suddenly a hand was stretched out from behind to support him, the person in front of him frowned, leaned over and hugged his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Gu Yu."

Gu Yu stretched out his hands to grab the hem of his shirt, his hands trembling, his voice was weak, as if he had lost his mind, "Jian Qiao, grandpa is gone... I don't have a home anymore, Jian Qiao..."

Jian Qiao pulled him into his arms with all his strength, and hugged him tightly. The cool rainwater penetrated into his arms and wet every inch of the neckline. "I know, I know everything."

His face was covered with splatters of water, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.

He buried himself on Jian Qiao's shoulder, leaning against his warm neck, sobbing and unable to speak, crying until his heart ached sharply.Until it was dark in front of his eyes, he lost all strength and leaned back.

"Gu Yu!"
