After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male protagonist is not allowed to ge

The next morning, Jiang Shanglu couldn't sleep well because he had been thinking about Wen Ying all night long. When Jiang Shanglu woke up, it was just dawn.

Sister Liu, who was not sleeping deeply, was vaguely awakened by the movement of people walking downstairs, and opened the door sleepily, intending to ask Jiang Shanglu what he planned to eat for breakfast.

But when the middle-aged woman poked her head out, she could only see a man slowly walking back and forth in the dim light of the living room, wearing a gray plaid shirt and a beige striped sweater. The back of a stranger who is as thin and gentle as a young college student.

"You... who are you! Why did you break into someone's house so early in the morning! Get out! Otherwise, I... I'm going to call the police!"

Immediately, she was so frightened that she was sure that the back of this strange young man was someone she didn't know, and she yelled directly.

And Jiang Shanglu, who was originally expressionless and wondered whether he should go out for a walk while it was still early, turned his head in surprise when he heard the words, and when he met the surprised-looking Liu sister behind him, he said He raised his eyebrows and smiled narrowly, and asked a question in a strange tone.

"Am I scary like this now?"

"No...no, no, it's not Mr. Jiang, you...you suddenly dressed like this, I didn't even recognize it...I thought it was some young man I didn't know who broke into the house while I was not paying attention... "

Saying this in her mouth, Sister Liu, who was really scared by him just now, whispered a little unexpectedly, but it is undeniable that even now that she has walked in front of Jiang Shanglu himself, she is still a little bit worried. Not sure.

The reason for this is nothing else, but because Jiang Shanglu, who is dressed like this today, is really different from the usual him. Not only does it simply give people a bright feeling, but he really looks too young.

"Well, it is necessary to have this effect, otherwise people will think that I am Shuhua's father when they see me in a few years."

Not knowing whether he was joking or serious, Jiang Shanglu walked over to the window after saying this, and looked outside to see today's weather.

After confirming that it will not rain outside today, and Wen Ying will not use any excuses to ask for leave with himself, he smiled happily with Sister Liu and said in a low voice,

"I'll go out for a walk first, and I'll be back later. If Wen Ying came early today, let him go upstairs and wait for me. I have something for him."

"Okay, well, be careful on the road."

Sister Liu nodded lightly in answer like this, and smiled a little relieved to see that Jiang Shanglu was in a really good mood and went out for a walk alone.

It was just waiting for her to get up and start doing housework and prepare Jiang Shanglu's breakfast. Usually, Wen Ying, who was about to come over at this time, never showed up. Even Jiang Shanglu, who was waiting to go out, came back from morning exercises. Sister Liu still didn't wait until that day The familiar doorbell you'll hear every morning.

"What's wrong with Xiaowen today... If he doesn't come here, he will ask you for leave in advance... Could it be that he is not feeling well?"

Jiang Shanglu frowned unconsciously when she heard Sister Liu talking to herself, walked slowly to the sofa, and after leaning back on the sofa, he picked up the landline phone and prepared to call Wen Ying, who was said to be living alone all year round.

But I don't know what happened, Wen Ying's mobile phone was turned off in broad daylight, no matter how many times Jiang Shanglu tried it, the same notification sound remained.

"Is no one answering the phone, Mr. Jiang?"

"kindness."

He replied in such a cold voice, Jiang Shanglu's facial expression, which was so pleasant all morning, has become a little strange.

The always thoughtful man even lowered his head and began to seriously think about whether he had done something inappropriate recently.

But in fact, when he called Wen Ying last night, the young man was obviously very surprised but did not directly reject him, which still gave him a little confidence.

Did you figure it out after a night?So you never plan to see him again?

But even so, he didn't even want to say hello to him.

Jiang Shanglu was thinking about it in his heart, and the expression on his face that was a bit out of control had faded a bit. He didn't want others to see his embarrassment at the moment, but Sister Liu looked at him from the side without saying a word and didn't know. I was a little anxious about what was going on, and I just silently thought about Xiaowen, come here quickly, but don't make Mr. Jiang angry.

Just at this time, I don't know if God really heard Sister Liu's heart at this moment, the doorbell outside really rang just right, Sister Liu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she heard the movement, and quickly smiled and looked at the expression on her face. Jiang Shanglu, who was also a little stunned, said,

"Hey, let me just say, Xiaowen must have accidentally delayed on the way here because of something, I'll open the door, I'll open the door..."

Having said that, Sister Liu ran to the door with small steps and opened it for the person outside. Jiang Shanglu sat alone on the sofa and didn't get up, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

And as expected, when he saw the familiar boy appearing in front of him with a briefcase on his back and a plastic bag in his hand, the silent Jiang Shanglu's eyes became completely indescribable.

For a long time, Zhang Xiaoguang, who was led by Sister Liu into the huge mansion, looked carefully to the left and right, then coughed and said in a low voice to the rich uncle with a slightly unkind expression in front of him,

"Are you Mr. Jiang? Sorry to bother you early in the morning. I have something to talk to you alone. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Sister Liu, go get busy...you sit by yourself."

As he said that, he left the living room to himself and Zhang Xiaoguang. If Jiang Shanglu really put on a straight face, he would look quite scary. At least he subconsciously felt a little scared of him even though he lost his previous memory in the mental hospital. Little Tomato was still quite scared.

But there is no way, today's matter was originally asked by his leader, Major Wen, to come here. If it is not done well, it will not be easy for him to deal with Major Wen when he comes back.

And thinking in this way, Comrade Zhang Xiaoguang sat down on the expensive sofa a little cautiously, then took out a few household registration documents from his briefcase, looked around to make sure there was no one else, and then took a look. He opened his mouth in a formulaic tone,

"First of all, let me introduce myself, Mr. Jiang, I am from the Y City Branch of the Earth Plant Household Registration Office. Since your problem of plant household registration has not been resolved, I am here today to investigate you. specific circumstances..."

"You may be in a special situation so you don't know much about our organization, but our organization is set up by the state to register household registration for various plant gene implants and human beings to ensure that you will have housing, marriage, and childbirth in the future... and then according to According to my preliminary information collection, you should be an opium poppy in the blooming stage, right? Do you currently have a fixed spouse and children? This house is..."

"Earth... plant household registration office?"

The man raised his dark eyes and said these words slowly, noticing Jiang Shanglu's unexplained gaze on his face with a scrutiny, Zhang Xiaoguang, who was curled up on the sofa opposite him, trembled without knowing what was going on for a moment.

He was sensitive to the fact that Uncle Poppy seemed to be very hostile to him, or not to him but to their entire unit.

While leaning down and slowly picking up the household registration forms sent to him by this strange unit that he had never heard of on the table, Jiang Shanglu looked down casually and then put his finger on the back of the sofa and knocked. Then he twitched the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice,

"Do you have another colleague named Wen Ying?"

"...Ah, yes."

Knowing that Major Wen came to contact him on purpose to collect this person's identity information before, Zhang Xiaoguang, who was originally asked by Wen Ying to come over and register this person's basic information today, was obviously taken aback and just wanted to say that he asked me to come to you. He even asked me to bring something for you.

But before he opened his mouth, he felt a faint scent of flowers near his nose.

And aware of the aggressive neurotoxins contained in it, which made his back a little chilly, Zhang Xiaoguang, who was in a trance, sat with his back stiff in front of Jiang Shanglu, who was smiling but not smiling. Li Cai suddenly sprang out a memory that he had forgotten before but now he remembered again.

Broken windows, dead man's tree, poppies, not one, but many poppies that bloom like blood.

Jiang Shanglu: "Zhang Tomato."

Zhang Xiaoguang: "Uncle... Uncle QAQ."

Jiang Shanglu: "What are you shaking?"

Zhang Xiaoguang: "I...I'm afraid of QAQ"

The little tomato in front of me was so frightened that he was about to hug his head and cry, which makes people want to laugh. Thinking of this unlucky boy who was hit by two dead trees that night, the tomato sauce splattered all over the place, and now he is alive and kicking again. Uncle Jiang, who had always had a bad personality, didn't want to scare and bully him so badly anymore.

It's just that he still wants to know how this government agency with a very strange name knows about the species he deliberately concealed, and Wen Ying, who was supposed to approach him for this matter, is now... where is he going? up.

But when the words came to his lips, the expressionless Jiang Shanglu finally swallowed them all.

Before, he could humbly beg for Wen Ying's love without any dignity, but now that the situation is so clear, he suddenly felt that he should at least have some politeness and demeanor that an adult should have.

He is no longer young, even if he deliberately put on those ridiculous clothes to make himself look less old, his skin and heart are already old.

So at least don't let Wen Ying find him annoying, obviously he likes that cute young man so much.

Even if he was destined to lose his love, Jiang Shanglu didn't want him to hate him at all.

"I do not have a household registration, because my family locked me up in the year when my body became abnormal, so although I have a vague awareness of what I am, I have never seen other existences like me, even Before knowing that there are people like you in this world, I have been suspecting that I have schizophrenia for a long time..."

"However, if you need to register now, I will cooperate... When I was in the third mental hospital before, I didn't know who you are and what is the organization behind you, so I used it just to be safe. Something erased your memory, I have no malicious intentions..."

"I am 31 years old this year. As you said, I am an opium poppy, and I am currently in the flowering period. I will be 32 after my birthday at the end of the year. I have no parents, no spouse, and no children..."

Leaning back on the sofa wearily, Jiang Shanglu's voice seemed a little unmotivated, making Zhang Xiaoguang uncomfortable for no reason.

He always felt that Jiang Shanglu was a bit different from the scary and gloomy look he had when he first met him. This face was full of me, I was tired and I didn't want to talk. The red flowers that should have bared their teeth and claws, and were so arrogant and terribly frustrating The drooping look is a bit of a feeling that one can't help but want to touch his fragile petals to comfort him.

But Zhang Xiaoguang, who has always been very timid, really didn't dare to do such a bold thing, so after being slightly dazed for a moment, he suddenly slapped himself on the forehead as if thinking of something, and then slapped him from inside. He put the plastic bag he had been carrying on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Jiang Shanglu, and then took out a note from his bag.

"Oh, you see, my memory is really... I just remembered to tell you about the registration of household registration. I almost forgot what Major Wen asked me to give you. Uh, that, Major Wen is Wen Ying. He is actually me. Boss, the stern-faced guy you know, who doesn’t like talking very much, he actually came here to talk to you today, but he went on a business trip temporarily, and before he left, he asked me—"

Before Zhang Xiaoguang finished speaking, the note in his hand was taken by Jiang Shanglu whose expression changed suddenly.

Jiang Shanglu, who is as impatient as a kid at a young age, doesn't know why he is nervous or looking forward to it.

But when he quickly lowered his head and opened the note in his hand, he took a look at it, and then took a little away from the plastic bag on the table to look at the big, red, and extraordinarily delicious apples. A sincere smile appeared on his face from the bottom of his heart.

[On a temporary business trip, I didn't bring my phone. 】

【I'll talk about everything when I come back. Zhang Xiaoguang is my subordinate, so you can believe it. 】

[Eating too many oranges will make you angry, so I bought apples, the boss said they are very sweet, I hope you like them. 】

【——Wen Ying】

……

Before rushing to the eastern suburbs with Mr. Liu Changqing, Wen Ying finally bought himself 10 minutes.

In the tense 10-[-] minutes, he first called Zhang Xiaoguang at his work unit and asked him to come quickly to find him, then found a nearby fruit stand and stood there alone to pick some fruit.

Although he is actually not very good at picking this kind of things, when the old lady at the fruit stand saw that he was putting every fruit in such a serious manner, she couldn't help but laughed and took the initiative. Talked to him.

"I said young man, are you picking the fruit or the wife? You look so carefully, but you don't know whether it's sweet or not just by looking at it. Come, take a bite. Yantai apples are very crisp and sweet..."

The warm and kind look of the old lady brought Wen Ying back to his senses, and he was a little sorry when he realized that his behavior seemed impolite, but when he thanked the old man, he put the sliced ​​apple slowly After tasting it in his mouth, the sweet feeling that the tip of his tongue was pleased by the sweet apple juice still made him subconsciously lower his head and look at the red apples in front of him.

And thinking that although Jiang Shanglu likes to eat oranges, he obviously can't eat more. Wen Ying with a thoughtful expression asked the old lady for a plastic bag and began to pick it out carefully while bowing her head and talking to the old lady.

Old lady: "Young man, are you going to visit a patient? Or a relative? Seeing how carefully you choose..."

Wen Ying: "Send it off."

The old lady: "It must be bought for someone you like. Don't worry, don't worry, the meaning of giving apples is good, and the fruit is safe and safe. How good is it? It's not so good to give pears. Pears are about to say goodbye. Just now One piece, how can we say goodbye... Oh, look at my nonsense, you won’t buy my pears later, boy, why don’t you buy a watermelon, the watermelon is full of seeds, bless you and me Your partner gave birth to a precious child early..."

Wen Ying: “……………………………”

The old lady's shrewd and powerful way of selling fruit made Wen Ying, who had been teased by Mr. Liu Changqing just now, a little reluctant to speak. After buying the fruit, he also waited for Zhang Xiaoguang who came in a hurry by the side of the road.

After handing Zhang Xiaoguang a heavy bag of apples and a note he had written in advance, Wen Ying, who was still on business, came to the eastern suburbs with Liu Changqing, who was anxiously waiting.

And after boarding the military helicopter that had been waiting there early with a blank face, Wen Ying, who had changed into a normal uniform, looked at each other in silence with a strangely dressed person who was the only one sitting in the back cabin as soon as he entered.

After a while, the young man with long crow-colored hair, all of which was twisted into a long braid by a string of Buddhist beads and slung around his cheeks, looked thoughtful. After staring at Wenying for a while, he put his palms together and opened his mouth gently.

"Hello."

"Hello."

From the information given by Liu Changqing, he probably guessed who this person was. Wen Ying greeted him politely and sat down at the side seat.

After the old man Liu Changqing with his hands behind his back and several important branch subordinates finished explaining the matter and got on the plane, the white-haired old man first sat next to Wen Ying, frowning and panting, then turned his head to rush The silent man with long braids began to explain without feeling at ease.

Liu Changqing: "Suppression, it's the first time you've climbed out of the soil and you've been on a plane, you have to remember to be careful later, if you accidentally get airsick, I can't help you, this plane There's no airsickness medicine for plants."

Curbing Ku: "What is dizzy chicken? Where is the chicken?"

Liu Changqing: "...It's not the chicken, it's the plane, the plane."

Curbing bitterness: "Flying chicken? What kind of chicken again?"

Turning his head with a puzzled expression, he glanced at Mr. Liu in front of him suspiciously. He clearly exuded the aura of an outsider all over his body, but his mind just couldn't turn around. Under the silent gaze of Wen Ying and Liu Changqing, he slowly He blinked his crystal-clear eyes, and it took him a long time to put his hands together in a very solemn manner to apologize.

"Sorry, I'm being stupid to suppress suffering."

"Oh, no, no, think about it, I really did a crime. It was fine to bring a small log out, but now I have to bring you, an old log that has not been enlightened for thousands of years... Oh, speaking of it, Wen Ying, you just now Have you greeted him with Yiku?"

"kindness."

Hearing Liu Changqing talking to herself, she slowly raised her eyes. Wen Ying, who was silent, was looking down at the documents in her hand, but at this moment, she took advantage of the situation and looked at Ye Ku again, then said lightly,

"If you feel uncomfortable for a while, you can take a nap on the road first, the flight time to Qingming City will be a bit long."

"Thank you."

Hearing this, he hurriedly thanked him politely. Ye Ku didn't know this young man who looked so ordinary that he couldn't even feel the breath of a species. However, he was very grateful to see him explaining his doubts so kindly. .

Sure enough, after the plane took off, after a while, Kuaixiao hadn't been transformed into the earth for 1000 years. He didn't understand the suffering of modern people's life at all, and he really started to feel dizzy and nauseous.

And in the bottom of my heart, I was reciting the Heart Sutra and calmed down for a long time, and finally fell asleep dizzily. The moment I closed my eyes with a pale face, Wen Ying, who had been thinking about things alone with his eyes closed, suddenly rushed towards Liu Changqing who was beside him. I opened my mouth.

"Is he the Bodhi tree that is said to have lived for thousands of years?"

"Yes, the Cangqing Guanshan Temple, the Bodhi tree in front of the Buddha, is talking about this thousand-year-old Bodhi tree-resisting suffering, just like what I mentioned in the information I gave you before, the insect plague that happened in Cangqing four years ago Let Yiku wake up unexpectedly from the plant form. It was also at that time that he assisted the headquarters to rescue the disaster that almost killed all the animals and plants in Cangqing City. This made you and the few people who persisted until the end The young people were lucky enough to survive..."

"However, the emergence of Yiku, a plant-like human being that does not conform to the growth rules of traditional ordinary plants, has also made the headquarters realize. The myths and legends about the origin of plants mentioned in the samples of the relics brought back are very likely to be as real as the creations of Kuafu Nuwa and Huangdi in the historical legends of animals."

"People who walk on two feet on the ground, half come from the sea, and half come from the tree. Human beings who are given life by the sea are naturally strong, and those who are given life by the tree are not afraid of death. Although they look the same, they are not of the same race. Pain, when one leaves the earth, it becomes dust."

"The Amsa sinkhole is indeed the origin of all plant-like human beings. The huge sacred tree that took root and sprouted there is the favor of the creation, and has the ability to grow all the plant-like plants of the next stage on its own branches. , But one day, a devil who hates creation by nature, has the immortality of plants, and the sensitivity of animals brought ten Shura evil spirits under him and overwhelming poisonous insects to the earth..."

"The Ten Asura Generals are also plants that grow in the soil, but they are all plants that have been endowed with extreme poison by the devil, and they are not even afraid of any animal attacks. They are each stained with a sin that belongs to Asura, and they cannot and normal They grew up like plants, and after being given the ability of immortality by the devil, they wantonly killed and destroyed, and even led terrible poisonous insects to kill countless plants on the earth..."

"This situation is almost similar to what happened four years ago. We can't be sure whether the ten Shuras mentioned in the legend really exist, but the emergence of Yuku made us realize the commonality of the story, because In the last paragraph of Amsa's traditional translation of folk songs, such a story is also mentioned..."

"Sura is raging, and the world is in disaster. The Amsa sacred tree witnessed this terrible scene from the end of the tiankeng, but because it could not leave the soil, it had to stay in the tiankeng for a long time to support the growth of the living beings, so it was difficult for them to move forward. He could only bestow eleven plants with special abilities, and entrusted the eleven arhats to do their best to eradicate evil spirits and expel Shura and poisonous insects from this land..."

Speaking of which, the old man's energetic brows finally had some inseparable melancholy. Although the headquarters leaders headed by him Liu Changqing have not announced these secret investigation results due to special circumstances in the past four years, but now out of respect With the affirmation of Wen Ying's ability and his trust in Xiao Ao's descendants, he still decided to tell him the truth of the whole matter.

"These eleven arhats are the five trees and six flowers that are often mentioned in Buddhism, and Yiku is one of the five trees, the Bodhi tree. The existence of the other ten plants is now impossible for Yiku himself to explain the exact location. I am old now. Now, the headquarters no longer trusts me as much as before, so now I also need a reliable young man to continue to investigate this rather tricky matter..."

"Before all the terrible disasters mentioned in the past legends happen, I will give you all the special permissions I can give now, and I will serve as your helper to assist you in all your next actions. From now on In the end, you are my only heir..."

"Wen Ying, tell me, can you do well?"

……

A whole month has passed since Wen Ying left the note and Apple and left.

Jiang Shuhua specifically asked his second uncle why Wen Ying resigned suddenly and didn't tell him, and it just happened that Jiang Shanglu, who was having lunch outside with him today, raised his eyebrows because he came to the company to meet the board of directors. With the chopsticks in his hand, he picked up a piece of Mao's Braised Pork, his favorite, for Jiang Shuhua, and said with lowered eyes and a flat tone,

"He was in a hurry and didn't have time."

"Oh, I don't know what's going on. I'll find him again when he comes back...Second Uncle, you can eat by yourself. Why do I feel like you don't even touch your chopsticks?"

Inexplicably, Jiang Shuhua stayed in the hospital because of being kidnapped. Instead of losing weight, Jiang Shuhua, who had gained several kilograms in the past few days, also ordered Jiang Shanglu's food as he said so.

Jiang Shanglu had already cleaned up the scene that he witnessed at the kidnapping scene, so Jiang Shuhua didn't leave any psychological shadow behind.

On the contrary, after looking around at his second uncle's gloomy and sickly face at this moment, the honest boy asked in a low voice with a little worry in his heart,

"Second uncle, are you not feeling well recently, why don't you ask Dr. Zhang to go to your house and show you?"

"...No, take care of yourself and don't worry about me."

Saying this, he finally dropped his chopsticks on top of the vegetables that Jiang Shuhua had picked up for him, and took a simple taste. However, Jiang Shanglu frowned unconsciously when he swallowed it with difficulty like chewing poison. Still a little nauseated, he quickly picked up the tea at hand, and quickly buffered himself from vomiting it all up almost immediately.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuhua's personality has always been careless, so he didn't see that his second uncle's appearance was actually because he hadn't eaten anything for two whole days.

On the way back to Liufangshan alone after being separated from Jiang Shuhua, Jiang Shanglu, who was doing well in the back seat of the car, saw the driver Lao Yao walking to the window with a cigarette in his mouth from a distance, and in order to take care of his habit of not smoking Just when he was about to put out the cigarette, he suddenly frowned thoughtfully, and slowly said this to Lao Yao outside.

"Old Yao, do you still have one on you? Give me one too."

"What? Mr. Jiang? Haven't you never smoked?"

Old Yao was full of disbelief when he heard the words. After all, since he started working as Jiang Shanglu's driver, he had never seen this self-disciplined man smoke a cigarette or drink a drop of wine, and when he heard him say that, he was a little hesitant. Closing his eyes, the whole person leaned tiredly on the back seat of the car and said lightly,

"I can't hold it anymore, if I don't find something to save myself, I'm going crazy."

What Jiang Shanglu said was a bit weird, but because his tone was so calm, it was as frightening as if he was seriously narrating a certain fact.

And Lao Yao, who was also aware of his mental problems, didn't dare to take out the pack of miscellaneous cigarettes he usually smoked to make a fool of himself. He went straight to buy him a whole carton of good cigarettes and gave them to him. The man who had been silent and tired for the past few days leaned back and opened the car window first, then pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette case lazily but elegantly and stuck it between his fingers.

"Mr. Jiang, lighter."

"OK, thank you."

Jiang Shanglu, who took the lighter, lowered his head and lit the cigarette between his fingers with no expression on his face. The seductive smell of tobacco penetrated his tense nerves and made him finally relax. He unconsciously narrowed his eyes. Mi Li's eyes seemed to be seriously thinking about something and she licked her lips, but in front of her eyes were only those bright red apples twirling mischievously.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang..."

Old Yao's slightly panicked call sounded beside his ears, and Jiang Shanglu, who was in a daze, managed to recover, but only saw that the car had parked in front of Jiang's house.

Seeing this, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. He always felt that he had been in a daze when he just came back. Jiang Shanglu, whose back suddenly stiffened, finally understood why Lao Yao looked so flustered and anxious.

On the way from Jiangshi to Liufangshan and back, the distance is obviously less than 10 minutes.

However, he smoked two packs of cigarettes in a state where his consciousness was not clear, or even completely dissociated, but he didn't notice it.

This is already a very serious, even a bit scary situation for him, at least he has never experienced such a worsening of addiction before.

But at that moment, he coughed violently from his throat, feeling the disgusting and pungent smell in his mouth and on his face. It is estimated that others would smell the unpleasant smell, so Jiang Shanglu disgusted the remaining few packs of cigarettes. Throwing everything to Lao Yao, he said something slowly with a gloomy face.

"Take all these back, don't let me see you smoking again in the future, try to hide and smoke."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang..."

Lao Yao was obviously also frightened by his capricious appearance, put away all the cigarettes and opened the window to dispel the strong smell in the car.

Seeing this, Jiang Shanglu didn't say a word. He got out of the car and returned home. He didn't talk to Sister Liu who took the initiative to approach her with a worried expression. Instead, he shook his head calmly and went upstairs again. After closing the door without hesitation, he walked to the bathroom, leaned on the sink with a pale expression and began to retch.

During this process, the palm of his hand that was gripping the sink was trembling horribly, but if he didn't clear all the gas that had been inhaled into his lungs, he wouldn't have passed this night, and he would be gone soon. If you can have a new habit of smoking, and become more and more intoxicated, more and more obsessed, you may not necessarily die from it one day.

And thinking like this, he reluctantly dealt with the bitten wound on his lips and took off all his clothes. Jiang Shanglu, who was leaning against the bathroom wall naked, began to calm down with biting cold water. He looked at himself through the mirror in the bathroom.

Through this mirror, Jiang Shanglu looked at himself with a bit of disgust at his face, which was as ugly and pale as a wandering ghost.

He didn't want to act like a grown man that he couldn't live without one.

But there was no way, he already clearly felt that he was actually a little bit out of control.

"Mr. Jiang... Are you okay... Can you talk to me if you don't want to come out?"

The sound of Sister Liu outside the room door that was so frightened that she was crying finally made Jiang Shanglu wake up briefly. He reluctantly took the bath towel in the bathroom to wipe off the water stains all over his body, and then came out to find a piece of pajamas and put it on casually Come out and open the door.

When he met Sister Liu's eyes with red eyes, he was obviously stunned for a long time. This tired man who had been trapped in a nightmare that he could not get rid of for a long time rarely lowered his voice as gently as holding his mother's hand. A voice came.

"Don't be afraid, I'm fine."

"Well...you're fine, that's good...then what do you want for dinner?"

Wen Yan actually wanted to subconsciously say that he didn't want to eat anything. Jiang Shanglu looked down at Sister Liu who couldn't bear the sadness, and suddenly couldn't speak. He fell silent for a long time, and after thinking about it seriously for a while, he never A very simple but also very difficult sentence was softly uttered from his throat that was still a little sore.

"The apples that Wen Ying bought that day...do you have any more?"

"Yes, yes, but this is the last one, do you want to eat something else?"

"Water, and apples, I really don't want to eat anything else."

Hearing that Jiang Shanglu said this to herself, Sister Liu didn't dare to say anything more, she nodded and ran down quickly to help him wash the last apple in the refrigerator as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

Seeing that they were all gone, the expressionless Jiang Shanglu walked to the window sill of his room and stood alone for a while, but when his dark eyes met the path where no one passed by in the distance, But he didn't come back to his senses.

After the smoking incident that day, Jiang Shanglu forced himself to be locked up at home for another two days. After he was sure that he finally stopped thinking about smoking actively, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and his mood improved a little.

On the morning of the [-]th, it began to rain lightly outside, and it was almost evening when the rain stopped.

Jiang Shanglu first read a book alone in the room for a while, and suddenly told Sister Liu that he wanted to go out for a walk alone.

And Sister Liu was relieved to see that he was finally willing to work hard to adjust himself. She stood upstairs and watched Jiang Shanglu disappear at the door of Jiang's house. The woman was just about to go back to the kitchen and prepare dinner, but she heard a familiar doorbell.

I don't know what's going on, Sister Liu's heart tightened for no reason, she ran to open the door as if she was afraid that people outside would leave, and waited for the young man standing behind the door with a bag to look up and slowly When she looked at herself, Sister Liu was so happy that she almost cried.

"Xiao Wen, where have you been for so long..."

"Business trip...what's the matter with you?"

Seeing this, Wen Ying didn't understand what happened to make Sister Liu so excited when she saw him, but in fact, a one-month business trip was a very common thing for him before.

For a while, he didn't think that he would have such a terrible impact on Jiang Shanglu's illness, but just when he was about to follow Sister Liu into the house, he sensitively felt that someone behind him was staring at him, waiting Wen Ying, who was aware of it, frowned, and when he turned around, he
