The age of innocence of the reborn parents

On the deserted yellow land, the sun is burning the ground, the hot wind is rolling, and the loess is pervasive. Standing on the ground, the sky and the earth are almost the same color, with a suffocating khaki color. The criss-cross dirt roads spread everywhere like old scars.

On the edge of a slightly higher earth cliff, a dry and thin jujube tree stands alone with scattered leaves. A few cicadas are attached to the jujube tree and screaming tirelessly. The sound is extremely penetrating and piercing. extreme.

A not-so-pleasant voice of "Karma" came. It was a stray small-billed crow, standing on a scorched tree branch and staring at a bumpy protrusion under the earth cliff. It seemed that it had finally made up its mind and called out. After the sound, it flapped its wings and flew towards the protrusion.

"Cough... ah..." A weak voice came out as the crow's sharp beak pecked down. The frightened crow flew up with a loud cry and circled in the sky in surprise. The loess cracked, and the loess rolled down, revealing a curled up human figure, which moved slowly, but stopped after a few slow motions, but the crow didn't dare to come down again.

Pain, this was the first feeling Gu Qin felt when he woke up.Isn't it dead?Rolling down such a high staircase would surely kill him, who has a congenital heart disease and usually faints even with big movements. What is the matter with this pain now?Gu Qin was not at all lucky for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. The pain was a heavy burden for him. After many years of habit, he instinctively calmed himself down, and the expression on his face became smooth.

Gu Qin wanted to open his eyes but blinked them, fine soil seeped into his eyes and tears flowed wildly, and the tears that had just flowed evaporated immediately, forming dry lines on his face.

Wanting to wipe his eyes, he moved his hand, but he was so weak that he couldn't lift it up for a while, and there was severe pain in his arm again.

Apart from the pain, other sensations gradually returned. The nose smelled of earth, as if the mucous membranes were ruptured. The bloody smell in the mouth mixed with the earthy smell was full of taste. The body was hot and stuffy, like being roasted on an oven. His lungs felt like being pricked by needles, his chest was stuffy like something was stuck, his throat was dry and cracked like it was on fire, and waves of thirst and hunger hit him, making him feel like hell.

Gu Qin adjusted his breathing to a normal frequency, blinked his eyes and tried to squeeze the dirt out of his eye sockets with the help of tears, and gradually his vision became clear, with earthy yellow and glare of light in his eyes, which was obviously a wilderness.

Gu Qin turned his head to avoid the scorching light and closed his eyes again to gather strength.Just as soon as I closed my eyes, a picture came to my mind. In the huge office, under the cool blue and gray tones, the man was sitting on the armchair behind the black and bright desk, rubbing his index finger at his chin, with a playful smile on his lips. , showing a few white teeth, and staring at him unblinkingly with deep eyes, like a wolf preying in the dark with a faint cold light.

Gu Qin's breathing became a little disordered, and then slowly recovered.Catastrophe, that is his catastrophe, only met twice, each time let him go through the gate of hell, this time it is probably over.

Met a pervert, that middle-aged man dressed up enchantingly, and pushed him down the stairs involuntarily, talking about goblins. This is not enough, do you want to torture him to death?Is it now buried alive or exposed to the wilderness?Anyway, he won't live long, let's end it quickly, die early, it's okay, he can go to accompany Lao Gu, no, he's going to settle accounts with Lao Gu!

Thinking of Lao Gu, Gu Qin's father, Gu Meng, Gu Qin's teeth began to chatter, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling, but with a hint of sarcasm.

Lao Gu, you asked me to take your letter to a friend. I didn’t peek at it because it was a suicide note. I didn’t expect you to ask someone I haven’t contacted for decades to arrange surgery for me, hehe , You didn't expect me to be so unlucky, did you?Are your intestines green with regret now?

Even if that pervert didn't appear, I wouldn't accept that person's help, it's just a death, and I'm tired of living a lukewarm life...

Gu Qin thought about it intermittently. He didn't have any emotional ups and downs about things that could cause great fluctuations in other people. The heart disease in the past twenty years made him develop a "calm" mentality when encountering everything, like Like an outsider, he distracted his attention.

It's just that the uncomfortable feeling in his body is getting stronger and stronger, reminding him that he is still alive, but he can't pass out, even if he has the consciousness of death, seconds are like years.

I don't know how long it took, when Gu Qin felt that he was going to pass out, he heard footsteps, and in the coma he saw a tall person, looking down at him, making him feel very far away, and he couldn't even see clearly His specific appearance is only vaguely seen wearing old-fashioned glasses at the bottom of a wine bottle, wearing army green rubber shoes, army green clothes, and carrying an army green kettle. He is very neat, without any wrinkles, and his face is square and angular. It looks very thin when you sip it, with a serious look and an indifferent expression.

What does the person look like? Gu Qin just glanced at him and didn't have any thoughts. What he cared about most was the water bottle on his back. He was so thirsty now that he suspected that he had started to dehydrate. It's not scary to die. The scary thing is this. Live hard.

"Water..." Gu Qin struggled to ask for water and wanted to say a few more words, but his throat was sore and he couldn't speak for a while.

As soon as Gu Qin finished speaking, he saw the man picked up the kettle and unscrewed the lid, which made Gu Qin feel a little joy, his mouth became more thirsty, his eyes stared straight at the kettle, unexpectedly, the man slowly He lifted it up, poured the water into his own mouth and swallowed it. Gu Qin could even see the rolling of the man's throat. While Gu Qin was stunned, the man had already finished drinking, and his expression was still indifferent, as if looking at Gu Qin. After one glance, he turned around and strode away without saying anything, without any intention of helping.

"Hey..." Gu Qin yelled with all his strength, raised his head slightly, and saw that the man strode away as if he didn't hear him.

"Your uncle!" Gu Qin, who had always been "calm", couldn't help but swear in his heart, raised his head and fell into the dirt again.

Don't let me know who you are!Gu Qin thought about the mentality that it doesn't matter if he died just now, suddenly he seemed to have a little more will to survive, but at this moment, he didn't know if he said a few words, moved, or his mood fluctuated. After touching the ground, he became dizzy and unconscious.

In a haze, Gu Qin suddenly felt someone calling him, but he couldn't wake up, his throat seemed to be blocked, but after a while, the dryness of his throat melted, and a stream of warm water poured straight into his lungs , immersed in the heart and spleen, although the taste is a bit weird and astringent, at this time he is extremely thirsty and lacks water, and he can't take care of it. He swallows involuntarily, as if he can feel the water flowing down his throat. Go to every part of the body, and light up the dry and gray body one by one.

There wasn't much water, he drank some but he became thirstier, his throat became more dry and uncomfortable, his eyes narrowed, and in the backlight, he saw a vague person, he couldn't see clearly, but he felt strangely familiar Before looking at him carefully, he turned around to leave, Gu Qin couldn't help but reached out and grabbed his trousers, trying to see him clearly.The man seemed taken aback by his pull, and lowered his head to pat his hand holding his trouser leg.

"Old Gu, you have come to save me..." Gu Qin saw the man's face clearly, and suddenly his eyes became hot, and two tear stains were clearly drawn across his dusty face, washing out two dark marks.

"My day..." The man sighed indistinctly and paused for a few seconds, stretched out his hand to test Gu Qin's breath, took Gu Qin's arm and put him on his back.

The man's back was very broad, but very hard, full of bones, too thin, and almost skinny. After walking a few steps, he began to pant heavily, spit out a few words irregularly, adjusted his breath, and resolutely carried his back. Watching Gu Qin climb up the slope, his breathing became more disordered, like a dilapidated bellows, and his body began to shake.

"Day, day... I'm so exhausted..." At the top of the slope, the man couldn't hold on and put Gu Qin down, and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Gu Qin's vision finally became clearer, he saw clearly the person carrying him up, and confirmed the fact again.This man's hair is slightly long and messy, his complexion is dark, his face is grinning, his expression is tangled up, the skin on his face is wrinkled into deep wrinkles, his mouth is exaggeratedly panting, showing white teeth, he is wearing brick red clothes A vest, khaki trousers, and a worn-out leather belt. On his feet were a pair of army green rubber shoes. The front of the shoes had been cut open, and the toes were exposed.He has a big frame, but he is very thin. His waist is hunched like that, and the loose vest exposes his breastbone, which is visible.

"Old Gu..." Gu Qin raised his body from the ground with all his strength and muttered something in his mouth, his expression turned from sluggish to distorted, and his body involuntarily threw himself on the man, who was still resting One didn't pay attention, and fell to the ground under the pressure of Gu Qin.

"Gu Meng, you bastard, you're kidding me!" Gu Qin yelled almost hoarsely, and punched the face of the person in front of him feebly. The real touch made Gu Qin more sure that this guy was the old man Gu, his father.Although it was a little darker and the clothes were strange, but this look, this skinny look, who else is he? !This guy actually faked his death, which made him sad for so many days!

"Zhizi, you're flirting all over the place," Gu Meng said with Gu Qin's arm holding down one side of his mouth, because he was also extremely tired, and he couldn't lift Gu Qin's weight for a while.

"Your uncle is the one who gets mad!" Gu Qin couldn't help but swear again.

"You're sick!" Gu Meng took a breath and finally pushed Gu Qin away and sat up, his eyes, which had been squinted because of the light, were as big as copper bells.

"Well, are you confused? I'm a fierce guy, but I saved you, and I've been looking for you for a long time, or, well, you're still under that cliff now." Gu Qin didn't speak yet. , Gu Meng changed his face to show a wrinkled smiling face, and said in a flattering tone, he paused when he spoke, as if his tongue couldn't keep up with the reaction.

No, Gu Qin saw Gu Meng's magnified face above him and heard what he said, the excitement just faded away, and he felt that something was wrong. There was something wrong with Gu Meng in front of him. Like, look closely, but there is a big difference.He does look like Gu Meng, thin, with protruding cheekbones, and a skinny and wrinkled face. It is very similar to Gu Meng's shapeless appearance when he was unable to eat due to esophageal cancer. His nose, eyes and mouth are the same as before. Yes, the appearance is also the same as before, but these five sense organs seem to be randomly dispersed by God, it looks random, casual, a mess, a mess, and there is a tendency to continue to grow randomly!

This made this person look very heartless, full of ruffian, without Gu Meng's elegant temperament, and that indifference that seems to see through everything!

His eyes were wickedly bright, full of heartless joy, those black eyes were like the moment when he was dying, but they were more radiant, simple and transparent, and less Vicissitudes...

That's right, he's dead, Gu Meng, he's already dead, he sent him to be cremated himself, you bastard!How could he be willing to live again!Gu Meng thought bitterly, feeling sour in his heart.

"That, that, that, I saved you, but remember." Gu Meng wiped his face to shake off the sweat, said something, pulled Gu Qin's arm again, and hung him on his body.
