Familiar community, familiar independent small building, this house is the place where Zhang Lianqiao has been living since he was born, so everything about this house, from the shutters and curtains on the second floor, the flower garden at the door and even the spare keys at home He knows where he is.

It's been almost two years since Zhang Lianqiao came here so rashly, but he also has many complicated feelings about this family. He found the spare key under the flower bed at the door, and then poked his head around the small window to make sure there was no one in the house. Then he opened the door carefully, but after he closed the door, he flew into this place that was not even furnished. After a house that hadn't changed much, before he had time to take a breath, he saw a black and white photo hanging on the wall of the living room.

The refined and refined old man was framed in the picture frame, looking alienated and serious. Zhang Lianqiao had been a little afraid of this grandfather since he was a child.He has never been a smart boy. He used to be terrified every time his grandfather asked him about his homework. Whenever this happened, his grandfather would appear very unhappy, which also made Zhang Lianqiao shrink back even more.Now that I think about it, this old man is just a little stricter on the younger generation, but he let the old man down.But at this moment, when he saw his grandfather's face on such a black-and-white photo again after two years, Zhang Lianqiao was stunned, and his mind went blank for an instant.

"Hao Ran, what are you going to have for dinner today? Will grandma cook you prawns?"

A low voice came from outside the door. Zhang Lianqiao's hearing was always sensitive. At this time, he suddenly came back from the trance. His eyes were red. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the shock just now. After he flew to the kitchen with fluttering wings and found a cupboard to hide in a random place, he first heard the sound of the door being opened, followed by the sound of footsteps and conversation.

"Haoran, should the prawns be boiled or braised? Today, Teacher Wang said that you are disobedient. What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

The old lady's chattering voice slowly entered his ears. He recognized that it was his grandmother's voice. Zhang Lianqiao leaned over to the side of the cupboard and looked outside. His eyes froze behind the two young figures, and just as he silently held his breath and didn't dare to make a sound, the child who had been silent all this time suddenly let out a sobbing sound like a kitten, that cry of grievance Listening to it makes people's heart ache.

"Oh, Haoran! What's the matter with you, what's the matter, tell grandma? Is there something wrong? What's the matter, don't cry, don't cry..."

Seeing the appearance of the little grandson, the old lady changed her face anxiously. She almost immediately knelt down to comfort the child who only knew how to bury her head in tears, but the crying child remained silent as if he could not speak. They didn't give the old man any response.

This strange scene made Zhang Lianqiao a little uneasy. In his impression, his younger brother Haoran was obviously a very lively child. He never cried or made trouble, and he was cuter and better-behaved than anyone else. But now this child standing in the living room looks silent and gloomy. He looked so helpless, but after finally comforting him and sending him back to his small room, the old man with a pale face from exhaustion lifted the vegetable fish in his hand as if he was relieved. Shrimp went into the kitchen.

Seeing her walk in, Zhang Lianqiao shrank back a little.Grandma didn't notice that he was still hiding in the kitchen, she just washed the dishes in silence, and carefully removed the fish scales and shrimp threads. During the process, the old lady never said a word, and when she caught fire After boiling the pot and slowly putting the plates of fragrant dishes on the plate, the old lady looked at the rich dishes at the big table in front of two people, her eyes were red at first, and then she couldn't help but whispered began to cry.

"Old Yao... Lili... Forsythia... Woooo..."

Muttering these names in a low voice, the crying of the old man is simply heart-rending. When the whole family was together in the past, whenever she cooked a table of good dishes, the whole room was full of excitement.Now there are only her and her little grandson left in this family.His wife, Lao Yao, passed away last year. He had a cerebral hemorrhage for many years, and it was too late to save him.My daughter and son-in-law disappeared in a car accident a few years ago, and it has been more than two years now.If the eldest grandson Lianqiao hadn't been sent away by them, she would be a 16-year-old child now, but because of her mistake at the time, the poor child hadn't gone far with grandma and uncle when the train crashed. serious derailment accident.When she received the bad news, she only heard the police at the other end say that there were no survivors in the whole car, but when the old couple hurried to the accident site, they found that they No matter what, there was no way to find his eldest grandson from that faceless corpse, and the child's death seemed to be doomed.

Later, when she thought of this incident, the old man couldn't stop crying. She regretted and felt uncomfortable. On the one hand, she felt sorry for her daughter and son-in-law, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for that gentle and shy child.

The whole family was torn apart because of these successive disasters. Up to now, only she is still supporting the family. Although her originally lively and active little grandson has changed his temperament due to these changes in the family, the old man still persists. Take care of this child who is only six or seven years old.She thought that her physical condition could at least hold her breath and bring Haoran up, but she had a physical examination three months ago because she was not feeling well, and the result of the examination was that her lungs had become cancerous, and It was the third most serious stage. Apart from waiting desperately for death, the old man didn't know how to face the next one. Now, the only thing she was worried about was this poor little grandson.

"What should I do... Lao Yao, tell me... Haoran is in such a situation now, who can I hand him over to... If I disappear... who will take care of him... what should I do? Let's do it..."

The old man murmured to himself with sobs, and raised his hand to wipe away his tears. She brought the prepared meals to the dining table outside, and then brought some to Haoran who had been hiding in the room and brought them in. After finishing all this, the old man sat back at the dining table and took two mouthfuls of food, but before she had eaten a few mouthfuls, she suddenly ran into the kitchen and retched in pain.

The sound of running water accompanied by grandma's repressed retching made the tears in Zhang Lianqiao's eyes fall. He has been hiding in the cupboard since the beginning, but now he really hopes that he can go out and help this helpless woman. the old man.Before he came back, he was still struggling with his own discomfort and grievances, but now his mind is only filled with grandma's blurred eyes and nothing else.

Thinking in this way, Zhang Lianqiao, who was hiding in the dark cabinet, wiped his eyes, and after his grandmother went upstairs, he quietly crawled out of the cabinet, and ran carefully to his younger brother Haoran's room. , and hid under the hidden table again, but as soon as he entered, he saw this little boy, who is now six or seven years old, curled up on his little bed, holding a picture frame in his hands without saying a word. look.

Because Zhang Lianqiao was far away, at first he didn't see clearly what was in the photo frame. After he poked his head to find a better angle of view, he realized that it was a family of four going out to play a long time ago. Photos taken on the outing.In the photo, the faces of mom and dad look gentle and distant. Zhang Lianqiao was not that big at that time, wearing a white sportswear and staring at the camera shyly, looking very shy, while Haoran, who was a little smaller than now Standing in the center of the camera with a big smiling face, it can be seen from the photo that his little hand has been holding Zhang Lianqiao tightly, and Zhang Lianqiao is also looking down at him with a smile.

"Brother, I have a brother, whoever said I don't have a brother, who said..."

Dryly chanting these two words back and forth, the little figure on the bed seemed to remember something and started crying again.His face was full of stubborn emotions. Since he heard from his grandparents two years ago that his brother went to find his parents, he was no longer as naughty and active as before.

Perhaps it was the fear and fear of the death of a loved one, or the loneliness and helplessness caused by it. This child who was very precocious since he was a child understood many things early, but he also tasted what is sad and pain early.He doesn't believe what his grandparents say casually like other children. In his heart, he understands what death means, but when he got up in the middle of the night a few days ago, he accidentally saw his grandmother in the bathroom. The appearance of vomiting and crying, and somewhere in the dark, this also cast a layer of haze on Zhang Haoran's young heart.

Thinking in this way, Zhang Haoran's crying disappeared. If crying is useful, crying can bring back his parents and elder brother. He would have cried endlessly. Unfortunately, he already understood that tears are useless. And after he carefully looked at the frame in his hand, and then stuffed it back into the drawer, Zhang Lianqiao, who had been hiding by the side, suddenly felt a little tormented, and just looking at it like this, he flew all the way back At that time, Zhang Lianqiao looked a little dazed.

How much he wanted to restore his human identity immediately and return to his grandmother and Haoran, even if the whole family hugged and cried together, even if they gave them a little comfort, whatever.But the original regulation was there, even if Zhang Lianqiao wanted to do it, no one was willing to take the risk of breaking the law to do it for him, but his mind was so confused now that he couldn't think of a reasonable one for a while. There was no way to solve this matter, and when he regained consciousness in a trance, there was only one very dangerous idea left in his mind.

The original regulation only said that the transfer between animals and humans was a violation of the law, but it didn't say that it was impossible to transfer.If it is for grandma and Haoran to break the law, he doesn't care anymore.No matter how terrifying the prison in the depths of Daxing'an Mountains is, it is worthwhile for him to fulfill this wish, and the only thing he is reluctant to part with now...maybe that awkward Shen Cangzhu who will always turn a blind eye to his wishes.

Thinking like this, after he arrived at the place he had agreed with Shen Cangzhu as scheduled, Shen Cangzhu, who had already completed the handover of work, stood up slowly when he saw him flying all the way. Behind Lianqiao's swollen goldfish-like eyes, he frowned suspiciously, and then he heard Zhang Lianqiao, a daring dead bird, say in a strange tone,

"Director, the crime of endangering the safety of the food chain is a ten-year sentence, right? I want to be a human being now, so I want to go through the procedures for myself. Once I become a human being, I will surrender myself and promise not to cause trouble to you. Years later, I will come out and come again... to find you—”

Shen Cangshu: "..."
