The age of innocence of the reborn parents

"Gu Qin, what are you..." Zhou Muye asked when he saw Gu Qin dipped a brush in the fluorescent rice paint and lowered his head thinking about something.

"What do people in business fear most?" Gu Qin raised his eyes and asked.Gu Qin rested in the hospital for a while, then looked back at the hospital where Meng was located and visited Gu Meng, had lunch with him, stayed with Gu Meng for a while, waited until he fell asleep, and returned to the place where the art exhibition was held.

"Ah? What are you going to do? Your painting..." Zhou Muye was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Gu Qin had already begun to brush. This kind of fluorescent pigment cannot be seen on the background of the same color. It was only revealed in the dark, but Zhou Muye could still see clearly the words written on it just after writing, bad, mildew, scum, loss, one word for each picture, on a solid color block on the picture.

"Your paintings are so good, how can you do this?" Zhou Muye originally planned to collect Gu Qin's paintings by himself, and sent a few paintings at random, but he didn't expect Gu Qin to pack them himself, and wrote so many of his own paintings Character…

"You say it's my painting, it's fine, otherwise I'm not feeling well, Grandpa Kun said that I'll get sick if I hold it back." Gu Qin blinked and said.

Having been a heart patient for more than [-] years, he can't do this or that. He always has to keep calm. It doesn't mean that Gu Qin is a doormat. On the contrary, Gu Qin is not a person who believes that suffering is a blessing. For many years, there was no other reason, and he made things go well in his own way...

After writing these words, he really felt much better.

"If someone finds out, we'll say we don't know. It's all sent out anyway. Who knows who wrote it..." Gu Qin clapped his hands after finishing writing.

"Okay" Zhou Muye looked at Gu Qin in a good mood, and raised the corners of his mouth to help him pack. His childish way made him feel very cute. If you send this painting, send it. At worst, he will go find his uncle. Anyway, Gu Qin will not be harmed in any way...

"That Yihuan, wait a minute, you help me, we beat him together until he begs for mercy" Gu Qin said to Zhou Muye while packing the painting.Yihuan is the one who took Gu Qin to the lounge.

"Oh, Gu Qin, I forgot to tell you, Yihuan, was taken away by the police station on the charge of plagiarizing other people's works. I wanted to beat him up, but he was taken away when he came back. Catch him and beat him." Zhou Muye said after hearing Gu Qin's words, how could such a coincidence happen, and the action was so fast, it must have been done by Shen Xiucheng's people, so there is no need to tell Gu Qin about it...

"Ah? That's unnecessary. He's so unlucky. In the future, everyone in this circle will probably call for beatings. I'll feel better after seeing it..." Gu Qin paused and said.

"Tonight, go to dinner with me." Zhou Muye helped Gu Qin pack his things and said, hugging Gu Qin.

"No, I'm going back to accompany Dad." Gu Qin shook his head and said.

Zhou Muye was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything, and sent Gu Qin to the hospital.

***

Five months later, it was midsummer.

Gu Meng's health is getting worse and worse, and his spirit is also starting to be bad. Sometimes he is awake and sometimes drowsy. He has been sent to the intensive care unit. Gu Qin asked for leave and no longer went to work in the studio to concentrate on taking care of Gu Meng.

"Xiaoqin, take this letter to the manager at the Peach Blossom Hotel on August [-]th. This is my last wish. Please help me fulfill it, okay?" Gu was thinner and paler than five months ago. He grabbed Gu Qin's hand and said in a hoarse and weak voice, his cheeks were a little flushed, his eyes were still bright and calm, and he looked at Gu Qin with a gentle smile.

Gu Meng knew that he was running out of time, and originally wanted to see Shen Xiucheng before he died, but it didn't happen. Lu Shangkun got the news that Shen Xiucheng had gone abroad, and he couldn't be contacted for a while. Gu Meng asked Lu Shangkun to inquire about Shen Xiucheng. In the end, he decided to entrust Gu Qin to Shen Xiucheng. While he was still awake, he wrote a letter and asked Gu Qin to hand it over to Shen Xiucheng. The time and place were all inquired by Lu Shangkun, but he probably won't be able to last for that time...

He didn't tell Gu Qin that this was a "Tuo Gu" letter, for fear that Gu Qin would not go...

"Dad..." Gu Qin couldn't hear Gu Meng's last words, so he called out to Gu Meng, his eyes turned red, and tears fell down in disobedience.

"Don't do this, remember what Dad said? Life and death are natural laws. Sooner or later, Dad, I want to see you live happily and healthy...Xiaoqin, you should be happy for Dad, Dad is going to see you Finally..." Gu Meng's eyes became confused, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he regained consciousness after a few seconds.

"I told you Grandpa Kun to come in. I have something to tell him, you wait outside." Gu Meng said to Gu Qin.

Holding back tears, Gu Qin left the ward and called Lu Shangkun in, then sat on the seat outside in a daze.

"Old Lu, my autobiography, the later ones, let Xiaoqin show him when he is in better shape after the operation. If you ask me anything, tell the truth... If Xiaoqin finds a woman he likes, you can help him read it. , if he doesn't like women and is a man, you can help him see, don't let him be bullied..." Gu Meng said after Lu Shangkun came in.

"Don't worry, I will watch." Lu Shangkun looked at Gu Meng with a look of sadness in his eyes.

"Smoking and alcohol hurt your health, quit if you can. After I leave, you don't have to be too sad. You know, I only have Mo in my heart. These years, if there is no Xiaoqin, I would have... Mo, you are too cunning Yes, you obviously can...but let me take Xiaoqin..." Gu Meng said, his eyes became unfocused, and Lu Shangkun hurriedly called Gu Qin in.

"Dad, Dad..." Gu Qin came in and knelt in front of Gu Meng's bed, weeping uncontrollably, suppressing his physical discomfort just to see Gu Meng.

"Xiaoqin, don't cry, Dad, this life is worth it, there is no regret, there is you, I have no regrets, I am leaving, I am going to see him... Mo, have you come to pick me up... Mo, you are so cruel, you Do you know how much I miss you..." Gu Meng touched Gu Qin's face with his skinny hand, trying to wipe away the tears on his face, his eyes became less and less focused, his voice became weaker and weaker, until finally he could only see The mouth is moving slightly.

***

Ten days later, Gu Qin buried Gu Meng's ashes together with Wei Mo in Taohua Village.

On August [-]th, Gu Qin got up early, dressed and left the farmhouse where he was staying.

After all, Lu Shangkun is getting old. After Gu Meng passed away, his health was also failing. He came with Gu Qin, and his energy was low. He hadn’t woken up yet. wish, you can go.

Months of worry and hard work, plus the shock of Gu Meng's death these days, although Gu Qin tried his best to work, rest and eat normally, he still lost weight. The pupils appeared bigger than before, and there was an unconcealable sadness in their usual clear and peaceful eyes.

Gu Qin took a taxi to the only five-star hotel in Taohua Village, and was about to go in to find the hotel manager. A middle-aged man in a black professional suit saw Gu Qin at the door and greeted him.

"You are Gu Qin, right?" the man said to Gu Qin.

"Hello, I'm Gu Qin, who are you?" Gu Qin asked.

"I am the manager of the Peach Blossom Hotel. Mr. Lu greeted me, please come in with me." The man said, guiding Gu Qin into the hotel, and took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.

The top floor of the hotel is a duplex structure with European-style decoration. The central crystal chandelier hangs from the roof. The red carpet is decorated with brown baroque patterns, and the floor and stairs are decorated. There are several wooden framed oil paintings hanging on the side of the stairs against the wall. Most of them are The landscape painting makes the entire slightly exaggerated decoration style appear restrained and quiet.

Gu Qin handed over the letter to the hotel manager, who asked Gu Qin to rest in the lobby, took the letter and went up the stairs.

On the top floor, in the huge office, under the cool blue and gray tones, a man in a black dark plaid suit sits on a chair behind a black and bright table with his legs crossed, facing the direction of the glass window and looking ahead. four oil paintings.

This person is Shen Xiucheng. After leaving Gu Qin five months ago, he felt that he was abnormal, so he went abroad and devoted himself to the busy capital operation game. He did everything by himself, and he had already forgotten about Gu Qin. Later, he came to Peach Blossom Village. Every year he would spend a few days in Peach Blossom Village, and this year was no exception.

In the morning, he got up and went to a utility room where old things were stored. When he looked for things, he saw a few paintings wrapped in brown kraft paper. He saw the date and place of sending on them. He thought he had forgotten something long ago. Floating out, I immediately remembered that this painting was sent by that beauty...

The utility room was a bit cramped, so he had someone take apart the painting and take it to the office for viewing.

Four paintings, two portraits and two landscapes.The portraits are somewhat abstract, not in the proportion of normal people, but they are not inconsistent at all. The colors are rarely used, and they are all warm colors that are gentle and not dazzling. One is a portrait of a child running on a green lawn, with a cheerful expression that is natural The innocence, those eyes look gentle but revealing a cunning, the other one is an elderly man, counting his memories in a secluded forest, his eyes are still gentle but seems to have a lot of regrets...

Landscape paintings are not conventional realistic landscapes. The plants have strange shapes, unusually tall, thick leaves, round arcs, neatly arranged, and look soft and comfortable, with a sense of dream.

If these paintings were seen by accident and were not drawn by the known beauties, perhaps Shen Xiucheng would not waste his time just looking at them. Now that he knows that the painters are beauties, the more he looks at them, the more interesting he finds them. Beauty comes alive.

Perhaps it was because of the absorption of some light, one of the paintings gradually revealed a unclear word under the shadow, which attracted Shen Xiucheng's attention. After he turned off the light, the word became clearer, and the other three paintings also showed words. come out…

Seeing these words that didn't match the painting at all, Shen Xiucheng stroked his chin with his index finger, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the hotel manager knocked on the door.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lu mentioned the matter on the phone before. The cardiologist has already contacted him and is on his way. Now Mr. Gu Xiao has arrived with a letter, just outside the door," the hotel manager said after entering.

Shen Xiucheng took the letter, opened it, looked at it, put it on the table, and asked the hotel manager to invite the Mr. Gu Xiao he mentioned to come in. He turned around and looked at the paintings, and the events of more than [-] years ago came to his mind.

Lu Shangkun was a friend he met when he was young, and it was also because of Lu Shangkun that he chose the Peach Blossom Commune when he was sent down, and met some people there, including Gu Meng and Wei Mo, two strange people who could sacrifice their lives for each other. people…

"Brother Gu's business is my business. I have told the secretary to contact the best cardiologist." There was another knock on the door, and footsteps sounded. A baby who can only cry...

Shen Xiucheng turned around and saw that Gu Qin was stunned for a moment, the two of them overlapped, and the beauty who had been let go unexpectedly came to the door by accident, Shen Xiucheng looked at Gu Qin with deep eyes...

Gu Qin saw the letter written by Gu Meng, and he raised his eyes to see Shen Xiucheng, an acquaintance he hated. From Gu Qin's point of view, the corners of the mouth of the person in front of him curled up, revealing a few white teeth, deep and deep. His eyes looked at him without blinking, like a wolf preying in the dark with a faint cold light, as if he was the prey, which made him feel a little cold...

Without saying anything, Gu Qin turned around and walked out. He would rather die than have this person's help...

When Gu Qin went out, a middle-aged man came to meet him. He was thin and pale. He was wearing a tight leather jacket and had long hair. He had obviously put on makeup, and his thick rice felt like it was about to fall off.

This person is Shen Xiucheng's younger brother when he was young, Chen Liangwei, who has been working with Shen Xiucheng, since he showed his liking for Shen Xiucheng, he was transferred away. I heard that Shen Xiucheng came to the Peach Blossom Hotel overnight from a party and wanted to see him, but when he arrived, he saw Gu Qin came out of Shen Xiucheng's office, Gu Qin's appearance was really eye-catching, and he ran towards Gu Qin in a moment of jealousy.

"Fairy, seduce my Brother Cheng, go to hell." He stretched out his hand and pushed Gu Qin while speaking.

Coming out of the office, Gu Qin felt a little uncomfortable, and was caught off guard. Being pushed like this, his feet were unsteady and he fell straight towards the stairs. He only had time to see the person who pushed him before he was knocked out by the downward impact. Passing over, he didn't notice a person rushing from behind Chen Liangwei and rushed towards him, wrapped his arms around his waist, turned him over and hugged him in front of him, slammed into the stairs with his back and slid down the stairs in a wavy line .
