Reborn Future's Birthday

Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Although life is difficult now, the festival that lasts for 5000 years is still to be celebrated. On New Year's Eve, everyone is busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. Su Qingsheng woke up from the fragrance of the cave, and opened his eyes to see But it was Old Zhong's ashen face. Old Zhong watched him by the bed without sleep, spent two days in a state of tension, heartache, and fear, and the accumulated anger finally reached its peak when Su Qingsheng opened his eyes, biting Ya whispered: "You don't want to die? Huh?"

In the suppressed anger was full of concern, and also the panic and despair of fearing that the person in front of him would leave, Su Qingsheng's heart warmed up: "Don't worry, I just woke up? I'll ask for your opinion in the future, okay?"

Old Zhong wasn't really angry at Su Qingsheng, but just felt sorry for Su Qingsheng. He was not in good health, so weak that he could be blown away by any gust of wind. What's the difference between committing such mentally exhausting actions and seeking death?

Lao Zhong's expression calmed down, but he still said expressionlessly: "Don't do this in the future."

Su Qingsheng replied in a low voice, "Not again."

Old Zhong poured a glass of water, adjusted it to the right temperature, helped Su Qingsheng up, let him lean on his chest, and put the glass close to his lips.Su Qingsheng took two sips from his hand and shook his head.

Lao Zhong's chest is firm and warm, and he can feel the heart beating powerfully inside, with fresh and tenacious vitality. Su Qingsheng smiled in a trance, listening to Lao Zhong talk about his worries, it feels like being remembered Well, it made him reluctant to leave, so he kept leaning on the person behind him like that, and that person didn't push him away.

More than 300 people gathered to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. It was very lively. Su Qingsheng was not feeling well, so he ate a little and stopped eating. Lao Zhong knew him and didn't force himself. He ate a few big bowls with almost no vegetables. The most meat is cut into large pieces, stewed in a big pot, there are also a small amount of meatballs, various fried meat dishes, and a small plate of pickled bird eggs in front of the three leaders including Lao Zhong, which is considered a special treatment up.

The meal lasted for more than two hours, and Su Qingsheng went back to his sleeping place early. The cave he was in was originally inhabited, but after the number of people became less and less, it was converted into a warehouse for storing supplies, because Su Qingsheng In special circumstances, Lao Zhong arranged for him alone, and let a proper person pay attention to him at all times on weekdays. When sleeping, Lao Zhong slept on the bed next to him for easy care.

After Su Qingsheng woke up from a deep sleep, he felt that this was not bad. His own image was too terrifying. It's okay for an adult to scare a child, but it would be a big trouble, so he didn't change places. When he was able to get up and walk, the old man The person Zhong called to take care of him also made him politely refuse. He was already a burden, and letting someone take care of him would be even more contemptible, and it would also make Lao Zhong criticize.

After lying down for a while, Su Qingsheng wrapped his head and face with a scarf, got up and went out. The dinner party outside was over, and there was a large space in the middle of the cave in District 1. A small VCR was turned up to the maximum, playing "New Year's Eve" tirelessly. Good" songs, not everyone likes these songs, especially when relatives are no longer around, some young people suggested dancing, when Su Qingsheng came over, he happened to see Lao Zhong and Wang Yanlu dancing with their arms around, Lao Zhong was stiff all over, Like a marionette on a string, Wang Yanlu's waist is soft and her movements are light and elegant.

The appearance of Su Qingsheng gave Lao Zhong a chance to get rid of his embarrassment. He escaped back almost in embarrassment, but he didn't see Wang Yanlu's strange eyes behind him. Although Su Qingsheng was surprised by the progress of Lao Zhong and Wang Yanlu, he was not in the mood Concerned about this, he hurriedly said to Lao Zhong: "I have something to tell you." After speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Lao Zhong's response.

Old Zhong didn't know what happened to Su Qingsheng, so he turned around to apologize to Wang Yanlu, and followed Su Qingsheng away.

Su Qingsheng brought Old Zhong to a secluded place, "Okay, let's talk here."

Old Zhong let go of Su Qingsheng's arm, lowered his head and asked, "What's the matter? Sit down and talk. Standing is tiring."

Su Qingsheng nodded, and Old Zhong moved a wooden stool for him. Su Qingsheng sat down, and Old Zhong squatted in front of him.

Su Qingsheng thought about it, organized his words before speaking: "Remember I told you before, everyone has their own secret?"

"remember."

"This is my secret." Su Qingsheng raised his hand, and the surroundings of the two of them were filled with rice, wheat, corn, a large number of beans, fruits and vegetables that appeared out of thin air, and even Su Qingsheng's old clock was buried in it, " The grape magic show that day is also one of the secrets."

Old Zhong was taken aback and said, "This, this is..."

Su Qingsheng put his right hand on Lao Zhong's shoulder, because of the height difference, it was a bit awkward to do this action, he chuckled lightly and said: "Okay, let's think about how to tell them, I don't know if these things are suitable for the current situation. Regarding the environment of the earth, some can be saved as seeds, and we can plant them when spring comes. I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back to sleep first.”

"I'll help you go back."

Old Zhong carefully made Su Qingsheng's bed so that he could lie down more comfortably. Su Qingsheng said to Old Zhong: "It's the Chinese New Year, and you have a lot of things to do. I'm fine now, so you don't have to take care of me all the time. You Go ahead."

Old Zhong said "hmm", but didn't leave, and said, "It's cold, remember to put on the quilt when you sleep, and be awake when you turn over, and don't kick the quilt aside."

"Understood." Su Qingsheng said.

Old Zhong dawdled for a while, and was ready to leave under Su Qingsheng's repeated urging.

Before leaving, Su Qingsheng suddenly grabbed his hand and looked up at him: "I haven't said thank you to you yet."

Old Zhong smiled, his white teeth were dazzling in the dim light, he held Su Qingsheng's hand behind his back: "No need."

The two held hands, Su Qingsheng didn't let go, and Lao Zhong didn't take his hand away. After a while, Su Qingsheng smiled and said: "It will get better and better. You have to take care."

Old Zhong only felt that Su Qingsheng was in good spirits and talked a little more than usual, so he didn't think too much about it, and said, "Why does it sound sour, I've never seen you say these words on weekdays."

Su Qingsheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't say any more. He retracted his hand and said, "I'm going to bed."

"En. You should have a good rest." Lao Zhong tucked the quilt up for him, turned and left.

"Zhong Xiude!" Su Qingsheng called him with his eyes closed.

"Here." Old Zhong turned his head.

"From now on, you and Wang Yanlu's children will call me daddy, okay?"

"Uh...Okay." Old Zhong was stunned, and after waiting for a while, Su Qingsheng didn't reply, thinking that he had fallen asleep, so he walked away lightly.

Su Qingsheng looked at Lao Zhong's back, sour liquid poured into his eyes, and he said silently, "Farewell."

He is actually very reluctant, even if his health is not good, even if life is difficult, he is still attached to this world, especially in this world there is an old clock who loves and cares about him.But it was time to say goodbye, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only let go.

……

It was a chaotic and festive night. The gloomy color of life faded due to the emergence of a large number of food crops. Many people wanted to thank Su Qingsheng, but they were stopped by Lao Zhong. Su Qingsheng needed a quiet environment to rest.Lao Zhong's words were very important, and most people listened to them, but there were still a few people who had other ideas: I will go and have a look quietly and then come back.The kid with black grape eyes was one of them.

Nearly midnight, the noisy crowd quieted down.The big brass wall clock rang loudly, and the new year was coming. Before everyone cheered, a crying child's voice rang out: "Uncle Zhong, Brother Su...it's not good!"

At that time, the child went to see Brother Su with two friends. Because he liked it, the child lightly touched Brother Su's hand on the quilt, and the touch was cold. Although he was young, he saw many life and death. When he came out, he kept in mind what his mother had said before, for fear of disturbing Brother Su's soul, he ran out covering his mouth, and only yelled loudly when he was approaching District 1.

There was a loud noise in Old Zhong's head, as if struck by a big bell, and he was dizzy. He separated from the crowd and staggered towards Su Qingsheng, almost falling. Wang Yanlu and other quick-reacting people followed closely. Behind him, a bunch of people squeezed into the narrow aisle.

Su Qingsheng lay quietly as usual, the dim light cast a heavy shadow under his eyes.

"Qingsheng..." Lao Zhong hugged Su Qingsheng's icy body, but he couldn't keep it warm no matter what.

Wang Yanlu's eyes were wet, she was not familiar with Su Qingsheng, but she had never seen Lao Zhong like this, his eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul.

"You all go out." Old Zhong said.

Most of the people dispersed, Wang Yanlu didn't know how to express her concern for Lao Zhong, she stood behind him and said in a low voice: "Brother, he has already left...you let him go, let him go at ease."

"You go out too." Old Zhong lowered his eyes.

Wang Yanlu bit her lip, looked at Lao Zhong complicatedly, and walked out.

Old Zhong hugged Su Qingsheng, as if he wanted to wake him up. If he knew that Su Qingsheng's complexion was so good, it was a flashback before he was about to die, and he would not leave even if he was killed. When Su Qingsheng left, he was alone, without How lonely it must be on the road when people are with you.

Why did he just leave? Why was he so stupid? He didn't see Su Qingsheng's strangeness. Looking back at Su Qingsheng's words, Su Qingsheng was clearly explaining his funeral, knowing that he would die, and still thinking about him, leaving those things to he.

There was only him and the person in his arms in the huge space, and the tears he suppressed flowed down drop by drop, falling on Su Qingsheng's face, and soon became cold.Once the emotional embankment broke, Zhong Xiude finally couldn't help sobbing, crying tears while holding Su Qingsheng's body, but even if his intestines were green with remorse, Su Qingsheng would never smile at him again.
