fierce god

However, due to the bad weather that day, the scheduled itinerary did not take place. Li Yinglan had to rebook the ticket to the next day. That night, Li Yinglan sat by the window and wrote to Gao Kun as usual. He said: Ah Kun, I am here .

When I looked up, it was snowing in U City, and the thin snow drifted into the air little by little, sticking to the windows and turning into water, and then slowly dripping down, as if turning into tears again.

Li Yinglan also forgot how she fell asleep. He seemed to have had a very long dream. It was rare that this dream was not grotesque or apprehensive. I opened my eyes, but for a moment I couldn't remember anything.

He looked outside in a daze, only to realize that it was broad daylight, and he just lay on the desk all night.In a hurry, she got up to pack her luggage and planned to catch the plane, but she ran into Li Xiaoyun in the living room as soon as she went out with the suitcase.

Li Xiaoyun looked solemn, but Li Yinglan didn't have time to appreciate her expression, and was about to go around her, but was stopped naturally.

Over the past year, Li Yinglan's appearance and height have changed quite a bit, from being only about the same size as Li Xiaoyun's to now being about ten centimeters taller, looking at his mother now with an indifferent and condescending expression.

Li Xiaoyun didn't move, she knew that Yinglan didn't like her interfering in his life, but Li Xiaoyun still couldn't help asking.

"Where are you going?"

Li Yinglan's answer was only two words: "Get out of the way."

Li Xiaoyun frowned: "Yinglan...do you still want to go to that place? How can you learn to be good."

A trace of hatred flashed in Li Yinglan's eyes, but her tone was sincere, and she asked sincerely: "Then how can you become the good mother who never cared about me before?"

The words "good mother" seemed to be piercing Li Xiaoyun's heart, she felt a pain on her face, and watched Li Yinglan coldly brushing past her.

Li Xiaoyun was dumbfounded, and when Li Yinglan was about to walk out the door, she suddenly came back to her senses, dropped the things in her hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Yinglan, it's useless if you go."

Li Yinglan asked inexplicably, "What did you say?"

Li Xiaoyun turned her head to look at him, her heart was determined, she pointed to the things on the table, and motioned him to look for himself.

Li Yinglan didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but a trace of uneasiness arose in his heart. After struggling for a while, he still walked over and picked up the newspaper on the table.

It turned out to be the morning news of County F?It's hard for Li Xiaoyun to pay attention to the news there after being so far away. I don't know who is "more caring"?

Li Yinglan wanted to sneer, but when he saw a report on the page, his smile froze on his lips in an instant.

The news was not big, even on the front page which was not big news at all, it was only a block of tofu on the side, and only a few words: A fire broke out in the juvenile prison in G Town last night, three dead and six injured...

Li Yinglan was stunned for two seconds, dropped the newspaper and was about to leave.

Li Xiaoyun shouted behind him: "Where are you going?! It's too late Yinglan, it's too late! He's inside...he's one of those three people...I didn't lie to you, I just called to confirm! Gao Kun is dead! Yinglan!!"

Li Yinglan didn't turn her head back, her back was so decisive, her steps were so firm, but when she reached the door, her foot gave a soft kick and rolled down the steps.

The stairs were only two or three steps away, but Li Yinglan lost consciousness after falling down.

……

Zhuo Yao knew something was wrong when he received a call from Fan Ying. He immediately pushed the next MV filming in other countries and directly booked a ticket back home. However, out of caution, he confirmed to Fan Ying: "You are sure Is it him? Did the Junior Education Institute send you a photo of the incident?"

"...It shouldn't be wrong. The list of personnel has been counted." Fan Ying paused, thought for a while, and then said, "But the management there has always been chaotic, so I'll ask again."

Along the way, Zhuo Yao was thinking about what kind of Li Yinglan he would see then. His illness has stabilized recently, and this blow may make all previous efforts in vain.

But when he came to Li's house, the situation in front of him made Zhuo Yao somewhat unexpected.

Li Yinglan was very calm. It should be said that compared to the most hysterical days before, Li Yinglan who heard the news of Gao Kun's death was obviously too calm.He just sat on the bed, his clothes were neat and tidy, and he could give a very direct reaction when he saw Zhuo Yao.

He said softly, "Cousin, I'm going to town G."

Hearing that place, Zhuo Yao was naturally disgusted, but when he saw Li Yinglan's expression, Zhuo Yao knew that he had no choice.

Zhuo Yao had been paying attention to his mobile phone from booking the ticket to taking off, and finally in the middle of the night he received a call from Fan Ying.

Fan Ying's tone was obviously relieved: "Ah Yao, I knew those bastards were unreliable. When the fire started, some escaped and some died, and even the adult prison next door was in chaos. The house was in disrepair for a long time, and there were too many hidden dangers. All the people were dismantled to another place, and they were rebuilt here, so the personnel list was all mixed up. I specially flew to F County to see it in person. After searching for a long time, I found the person. The dead person was another one. It's not Gao Kun, but I really don't know where he will be demolished."

The big stone in Zhuo Yao's heart also fell, but another complicated emotion rose again, just as he was struggling, he felt something strange behind his back, and when he turned around, he saw a person standing there at some point.

"I'll get in touch with you later."

Zhuo Yao hung up the phone and looked at Li Xiaoyun not far away.

Li Xiaoyun was straightforward: "Don't tell Yinglan."

Zhuo Yao frowned: "Do you want Yinglan to get sick again?"

"But this matter should be settled!" Li Xiaoyun suddenly called out, and then lowered her voice, as if trembling, "I don't want Yinglan to be sad, I don't want him to suffer, I am not so cruel, Zhuo Yao, I am not But I have been thinking about how to make up that lie. I thought that time could fade away everything. Didn’t he look better before? When he forgets those shadows, he can return to his normal life... But He didn't! Yinglan acted nonchalantly on the surface, but I only found out two days ago that he had been writing letters to Gao Kun. He lived in that matter every day for more than a year. Would Yinglan have to wait like this for another six months? Years, seven years? Then he will never be able to get out."

"Do you think Gao Kun is dead, so he can come out?" Zhuo Yao narrowed his eyes.

"At least that's the worst!" Li Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, "You and I both understand that regardless of whether Gao Kun is in jail or not, we can't let him meet Yinglan again! He's like a ticking time bomb, say no It will detonate at some time, but as long as he exists for a day, Yinglan will not let go. The longer the time drags on, the harder it is to give up. And this is the best chance, the opportunity God gave us, let Yinglan I thought he was dead..."

After Li Xiaojun finished speaking and left for a long time, Zhuo Yao maintained a rigid posture and did not move. Countless images flashed through his mind. It was the first time he saw Gao Kun sending Yinglan back. He celebrated Yinglan's birthday. Tell yourself how Gao Kun picks him up after school, how to take care of his life... Then the screen changes, an IOU, a photo, the bloody scene of the murder scene, every knife mark on the corpse slowly, and spreads The unrecognizable corpse was finally fixed on the young man's indifferent smile to him that day.

He said: "I don't agree, I plead guilty."

Zhuo Yao closed his eyes forcefully, suppressing all the complexities that came to his heart, he picked up the phone and dialed some contacts in the G Town Detention Center that he had accommodated before.

So be it……

-

On the way there, Li Yinglan was still surprisingly quiet. He kept looking out the window silently until he entered the juvenile education center, where the guards handed them a small cardboard box.

The paper box was only three or four inches in size, and it couldn't fit a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes. Gao Kun did not leave a single piece of clothing or a pair of shoes. The few teenagers in the innermost building, because the doors there were blocked by the iron cabinets that fell down, almost nothing was complete when the rescuers arrived, and these things were the only sorting leftovers in the field. down.

Li Yinglan looked at a few pieces of letter paper lying in the corner of the box that had been burned until only the corners remained, and she could still vaguely recognize the sentence "I have a surprise for you". Li Yinglan wanted to reach out to touch it, but just touched it with her fingertips. The thin piece of paper was silently broken into several pieces, which could not be put together again.

The guard asked: "This person is just behind, and the basic family members have come to identify him. Do you want to...but you must be mentally prepared."

Zhuo Yao kept watching Li Yinglan with a tense expression, but saw that he was still indifferent after hearing this, and just kept looking at the paper box.

Li Yinglan turned her fingertips and took out the only thing that was still intact from the box. It was a button, made of wood. Corners are a little blackened.

Li Yinglan looked at it, held it firmly in her hand, and whispered to Zhuo Yao: "I want to go back."

Zhuo Yao was stunned for a moment, surprised that Li Yinglan didn't choose to go to the morgue to see someone.

Li Yinglan walked out directly, except for a little pale complexion, she couldn't see anything wrong, but when she got into the car, she suddenly swayed a little, Zhuo Yao hurried to help, and once she grabbed Li Yinglan's hand I was shocked by his bone-chilling wet and cool temperature!

Even more quietly than when she came, Li Yinglan returned to U City, but as soon as the plane landed, Li Yinglan developed a high fever, and the fever persisted, and various pathological drugs were used but still had no effect. Next, Zhuo Yao invited a psychiatrist again.

The advice given by the psychiatrist is: this may take a long recovery period, and no one knows when it will be better.

So in the second half of the first year of high school, Li Yinglan dropped out of school.

However, to the surprise of Zhuo Yao and Li Xiaoyun, he himself did not reject the treatment. Just like last year, he was still very cooperative with the doctor. One day, when he talked to himself in front of the goldfish in the bowl, he even began to gradually become like Li Xiaoyun, feeling that his choice was not wrong.

Li Yinglan said that day: You eat so much, you won’t recognize Akun when he comes back, I want to lose weight for you...

But other than that, Zhuo Yao rarely heard him mention this person again, as if the name Gao Kun had been erased from Li Yinglan's life just like that.

During the one year of treatment, Li Yinglan's mood has been very stable. The doctor said that he has a strong sense of recovery, which is a very good phenomenon, and his visit cycle is constantly extending, but he still sleeps at night. It's not very good, I'm really sad. I can use some medicine a little bit, but I can't rely on it.

After the doctor's approval, Li Yinglan finally returned to school to study, and she missed a year of class. In order to avoid the stress of studying, Li Yinglan had to re-read the second year of high school, and was with her juniors who were a year younger than him. However, Li Yinglan had studied early. , so the age touches the average size.

On the day of going to school, Zhuo Yao personally sent him off. They didn't take Biyi Road, but even so, they were still stuck in the middle of the road when they arrived at No. [-] Middle School.

Looking from a distance, the school gate is very lively early in the morning, and some children wearing elementary school uniforms are also shuttling inside. Li Yinglan looked through the car window and saw an elementary school student holding a donation box. Something stopped a boy who was about to enter the school gate. The boy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to take out his pocket, but after fumbling for a long time, he couldn't find anything. He scratched his head, which was like a bird's nest, awkwardly. Knowing what was said to the child, the child pouted and left helplessly.

Zhuo Yao called Li Yinglan several times before returning to his senses. He frowned and said, "Do you want me to take you in?"

Li Yinglan thought of the commotion caused by Zhuo Yao's appearance, and shook her head: "I can do it myself."

Zhuo Yao was a little worried: "Call me if you have something to do."

Li Yinglan didn't leave right away, instead she asked a rare question: "Are you going to release an album?"

Zhuo Yao was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "It's not the promotional period."

"Can it be seen in many places?" Li Yinglan asked again.

"All Asia will be released simultaneously."

"It's great, everyone can know and see..." Li Yinglan sighed, and then said, "I want to be a star too."

Under Zhuo Yao's blank gaze, Li Yinglan dropped this sentence and got out of the car.

Arriving at his new class, self-study has already started. As soon as Li Yinglan entered, he got the attention of the whole class. He didn't have a seat, and he was not in a hurry. He just stood there, like the manga in the hands of the girls in the first row. The man on the cover of the book.

At this time, a person from the back row came over and said nervously to Li Yinglan: "Hello, classmate, are you a transfer student? The head teacher told me that this is the secretary of the Communist Youth League. I'll take you to your seat."

Li Yinglan glanced at the other party's bright smile and his messy hair like a bird's nest, and followed him away. In the end, the two were at the same table.

After sitting down, the boy wanted to introduce various situations to Li Yinglan, but Li Yinglan stopped him.

"I'll see for myself."

The boy looked at Li Yinglan, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Okay, then you can find me if you have anything to do, oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zhu Zhicheng..."
