Crossflow

The brain tumor had compressed the optic nerve, and she had been blind long before she was hospitalized, so her eyes appeared cloudy.Sui Yuesheng knew that she couldn't see anything, but when she looked over, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

That gaze was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the bottom of his heart.Under such a line of sight, all lies are invisible.

Sui Yuesheng subconsciously staggered his eyes, not daring to look at her again.

The ward was very quiet, only the ticking of the clock on the wall was heard for a while.He was silent for a long time, but finally told the truth.

The scolding that Sui Yuesheng imagined did not come.

Grandma just sighed deeply, then stretched out her hand tremblingly, groped and patted his head, and then touched it lightly, just like when she was a child when she coaxed him to sleep. do that.

Then she spoke with a low voice, like another sigh: "The old woman is getting older, and she is becoming more and more useless. You have to use this method to save me."

Sui Yuesheng inexplicably heard some ominous meaning from this sentence.He was at a loss and didn't know how to answer. In the end, he had to imitate what some omegas who came to buy things in the grocery store said when they were chatting, and lied to grandma that the alpha who was about to become his husband was very handsome, and the family had money. , but also very kind to him.When he gets married in the future, he will have milk to drink every day, as well as endless meat.

So grandma laughed, rubbed his head again, and said, yes, that's great, my cub is going to live a good life.

The lie has been told for a long time, even Sui Yuesheng himself believed it.

Time is like running water. The old lady held on to her sick body and spent his 17th birthday with him, but in the end she still couldn't get through the hot summer.

One morning in August, she was uncharacteristically in good spirits. After tidying herself up, she rang the pager above the hospital bed and asked the doctor to be discharged.

Sui Yuesheng rushed over after receiving the notice, and seeing the doctor looked at him in perplexity, he nodded at him imperceptibly, with a "buzz" in his mind, he understood everything.

——Grandma, this is a flashback.

So he took his grandma home.

She looked very energetic, as if she had traveled back in time in an instant, and returned to the hale and hearty appearance before she fell ill, not at all like a terminal cancer patient.Although she couldn't see her, she still instructed Sui Yuesheng to clean up the house, then lay on the bed, and asked Sui Yuesheng to find someone to take a photo of her.

Sui Yuesheng had already vaguely expected something at that time, but he forced himself to ignore the panic that surged up in his heart, and perfectly cooperated with all grandma's requests.

The next morning, he got up early and cooked a pot of soft, rotten and easy-to-digest porridge, but when he opened the door to call for someone, he found that his grandma had passed away in her sleep.

The old lady walked very peacefully, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she had never been disturbed by a disease and was at the end of her life.

Sui Yuesheng was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand in vain, and gently pushed her somewhat cold body.

... She would never wake up again, never touch his head again, and call his name with a smile.

The tip of Sui Yuesheng's nose was a little sore, he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry, he opened his mouth suddenly, and in the end, only a mournful cry escaped from his throat, like a lonely little beast.

Since grandma was hospitalized, all the expenses were paid by the informant, and the family savings were not moved much. Sui Yuesheng spent all his money and bought a small grave for grandma in the cemetery on the outskirts of the city. He found a very short tombstone, finally knelt down in front of the tomb, and kowtowed three times.

He just missed work, returned home in a daze, ate something hastily and then fell asleep. Early the next morning, a resourceful informant got the news from nowhere and knocked on the door of his house. Inform him that he is ready to go.

In the words of the other party, he doesn't need to bring anything, and someone will naturally prepare it when he arrives in Kyushu.Sui Yuesheng didn't listen to him, he simply packed up two sets of clothes, found a few pieces of cloth, covered the simple furniture at home, and then walked around the room slowly, as if he wanted to change its appearance forever Keep it in your heart.

Before the lineman's patience ran out, he locked the door of the house, turned his head and said, "Wait a minute, I still have something to do."

"What else do you need?" The informant's expression was full of suspicion.

"Don't worry, I won't run away. Even if you want to run, there is nowhere to go." Sui Yuesheng saw the mistrust in the line of sight of the informant, and said, "If you are not at ease, just follow. "

The informant nodded.

So the two walked together to the old grocery store at the end of the long street.Sitting on the broken wooden bench behind the window, the boss was half asleep and half awake, and Sui Yuesheng was not surprised, so he reached out and knocked on the window.

"See what you want to buy..." The old man opened his eyes, and stared immediately after seeing his figure, "You boy, where have you been these two days? There are a lot of things in the store that no one is doing, so why don't you come in?" Work?"

"Grandma left yesterday, so I went to deal with her funeral." Sui Yuesheng pursed his lips, "I'm going somewhere else, and I came here specially to ask you to resign today, I don't want this month's salary Yes, but I need your help with something."

It's hard to find such a hard-working guy, the boss was a little unhappy, but Sui Yuesheng insisted on leaving, and he couldn't stop him, so he said with a sullen face, "What's the matter?"

"Now that I'm gone, I don't know when I can come back. Grandma's tomb is not far from here. I would like to trouble you to go there every year to help weed." After Sui Yuesheng finished speaking, he reached out and rummaged in his pocket, but only touched A few coins leaked in the clothes came out.

The money had already been used up during the funeral, and he turned his head to look in some embarrassment. The informant stretched out his hand mysteriously, took out his wallet, counted a few hundred dollars, and slapped it on the window, making a loud noise.

The old man wanted to get angry immediately, but he stared at a pair of cloudy eyes and suddenly recognized the identity of this person.

He suddenly knew the whereabouts of Sui Yuesheng, and where the old lady got the money to go to the hospital. People like them have been struggling on the edge of survival all their lives. Lying at home.Minor illnesses will heal on their own slowly, and for serious illnesses, just lie down and go straight away, which is a kind of relief.

After a while, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and took the money: "You can go at ease, as long as I am here, I will go."

The implication is that after his death there is nothing he can do.

Sui Yuesheng also knew what was going on with his son, he nodded his thanks and turned to leave, but the old man suddenly said, "You...be careful on the road."

Sui Yuesheng paused, raised his head and looked around the shop where he had worked for four or five years.The old man is actually not a bad person, but his mouth is poisonous, but he is actually a nice person, knowing that their grandparents and grandchildren are having a hard time, and occasionally give them something.

"I will." Without turning around, he walked straight behind the informant.

Sui Yuesheng didn't know at the time that the road he was about to embark on was completely different from what he had imagined.

The journey to Kyushu was far worse than he had imagined.

The matter of sneaking across the border, no matter how big it is, it will still be shady in the end.Under the guidance of an online person, Sui Yuesheng and the other omega in the same city took a few nights of driving, bumping all the way to a small town near the sea, and lived in Xiaoan in a dilapidated small hotel for another month.

The hotel charges are cheap, and the environment is not going to be any better. Not to mention the old yellow stains on the bed sheets, there is also a thick layer of scale in the water glasses provided to guests.One of the omega's in the company seemed to be from a good family, and kept frowning and complaining, but Sui Yuesheng accepted it well, and didn't say a word of complaint.

Half a month later, the cargo ship arrived.

The treatment on the ship is much worse than in the hotel.In order to avoid being discovered, the group of smugglers were not allowed to set foot on the deck, so they had to stay stuffy in the cabin at the bottom, eating and drinking in the same place.

It is said to be a cabin, but it is actually just a space separated by wooden boards. It is about the size of a cage, and four or five people are crowded. The meals are blackened bread and porridge so thin that you can count the grains of rice, twice a day. Barely maintaining the level of starvation.

The cabin is humid all the year round, and there are mice running past from time to time. In such a harsh environment, taking a bath is obviously a luxury.

Sui Yuesheng, like other omega, has been gritting his teeth and enduring, but that delicate omega couldn't take it anymore.He followed Yuesheng in the same cabin, and on the first day he lived in, his body was covered with red rashes, and he was sobbing and crying every day.

Sui Yuesheng was annoyed, and yelled at him a few words, but he didn't get angry enough, so he gave up, and after a few days, the other people in the cabin couldn't bear it anymore, and beat up the squeamish boy together, and the latter finally It's quiet.

A few days later, Jiaoqibao tried her best to hook up with the alpha crew member who came to deliver meals to them.He sometimes goes out with the other party, and then comes back with bruises all over his body, and there are dark or light fingerprints on his legs, but correspondingly, his food is much better than others, and occasionally he can get a portion of it. Small pieces of fruit.

Probably because Sui Yuesheng was the only one who didn't beat him up, he has always been very close to Sui Yuesheng, and sometimes moved to Sui Yuesheng to gesture with him, saying that the crew took him to the deck today to have a look, the sea is very Big, the sea breeze is very salty...

Sui Yuesheng glanced at him, too lazy to speak.

The cargo ship is sailing in the endless sea, and occasionally stops in the city. The number of people in the cabin is increasing day by day. When Sui Yuesheng got on the boat, he observed that more than half of the cabins were empty, but after sailing all the way , The cabin is slowly full.

The life locked in the cabin does not see the sun and the moon, and it is impossible to judge the passage of time by the activities of nature. Sui Yuesheng can only use the fact that meals are delivered twice a day to roughly calculate the date. When he counts to October, the cargo ship Finally stopped.

On a dark and windy night, it stopped quietly at a remote pier in Taiqing.

The other omegas got off the boat one after another. When someone stepped on the ground, they even knelt down and kissed the soil under their feet. When Sui Yuesheng wanted to follow them down, he was stopped by the snake leading the boat. I ordered a few omega names.

"You haven't reached your destination yet, your husband lives in a more prosperous place."

Then he had someone lead the group of omegas to the bathroom on the ship, where they had their first shower in months.

The cleaned omegas put on clean clothes and boarded a van overnight.

Sui Yuesheng mixed in and sized them up without a trace—the two alphas who escorted them looked tall and big, while the group of omegas who stayed behind were obviously more outstanding, the squeamish one who was in the same cabin as him before The bag is also among them, and I look around endlessly with novelty.

They still hid in the compartment of the truck, but this time, the food was much better than when they were on the boat. Every meal was full, and one night, everyone was given a full glass of milk.

Everyone gulped it down in ecstasy, but Jiaoqibao pouted - he had a bad stomach, and when he drank milk at home, he would vomit, so he simply handed the milk to Sui Yuesheng.

Sui Yuesheng had nothing to do, so he helped him drink it up.

That night, when he woke up suffocated by urine, he vaguely heard the voices of the two alphas who were guarding them talking.

"Brother Qiang, there are a few good-looking people in this batch, especially the gray-haired and blue-eyed one. If you ask me, it's too bad to send it to marry. Just follow the old rules and send it to the black market for auction." .”

The one called Brother Qiang let out a disdainful "Tsk", and "Pooh" spat out of the car window: "You don't need to say that? The boss has already arranged it. There is a shortage of people in the brothel. When the time comes, let me They pick first, and then send the ones to the auction.”

"We both have snacks, and this trip will cost money." He laughed as he spoke, with a bit of obscenity in his voice, "But you still said a few words in this dog's mouth In other words, some of the goods in this batch are really beautiful, and if they are picked up by the brothel at that time, we brothers can save money and have a good time."
