boy and sea

Guan Rong didn't have time to worry about Duoduo anymore, and rushed out of the door like crazy.Finally squeezed into the crowd, only to see an old man lying on the ground, as if suffering from some kind of illness.People around kept yelling to call for first aid, and some said they had already done it.There is a child kneeling beside the old man, who is not very old, and should be the grandson of the old man.The child was terrified, crying with snot and tears, crying "Grandpa" and "Grandpa", and his voice became hoarse.Some people couldn't stand it and kept coaxing him, but the child didn't show any intention of stopping at all, instead, he cried even louder.

Guan Rong scanned the crowd, but he didn't find that familiar figure, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.He rushed out of the crowd again, circling anxiously and bewildered amidst the people coming and going, and asked if he had seen Qin Jian when he caught someone.These passers-by didn't know who Qin Jian was, and because of their anxiety, Guan Rong's description was also unclear, and others couldn't understand them, and they all said that they didn't know without exception.

"Little Jane..." Guan Rong's eyes were red, and he stood in the middle of the road and called Qin Jian's name, imagining that he could get a response in the next second.However, there was nothing. Pedestrians passed by him, just as if he had lost his love, drunk and shouted his girlfriend's name in the street in broad daylight, a trace of sympathy flashed across his face, and then he Leave with the crowd.

Guan Rong really cried.Growing up so big, he basically never shed tears, even if he made a mistake when he was young, no matter how hard his parents beat him, he never said a word.Later, when I grew up, I knew the preciousness of tears, and I was even more reluctant to sway them easily.But now, he really couldn't help it.

He lost Qin Jian.Half of the half-year deadline passed, and he lost the person he had to take care of...

Guan Rong squatted on the side of the road, ignoring the strange eyes of others, and wiped away tears on his own, all he was thinking about was Qin Jian, and he didn't even notice that someone was standing in front of him.

"So what, young man."

Guan Rong raised his head: "Auntie, what's the matter?" His voice was still crying.

The auntie handed Guan Rong a few tissues thoughtfully: "It's not a big deal, we can look for it after we split up, we can't hang ourselves on a tree, can we?"

Guan Rong: "..."

The aunt continued: "Besides, Auntie sees that you look pretty good. It shouldn't be difficult to find a better one. There's no need to chase after one. Also, it doesn't look good for this big man to cry on the street."

Guan Rong knew that the aunt had misunderstood, sobbing, "No, I didn't break up."

"Auntie knows, it was the girl who kicked you unilaterally."

"..." Guan Rong had a headache, "Auntie, I can't find my brother..."

The aunt suddenly realized, "Oh, that's it... Then what does your brother look like? Maybe I've seen it before?"

Guan Rong asked so many people along the way, but there was no result. At this moment, he didn't expect the aunt in front of him to say anything.But even so, he still told his aunt the details about Qin Jian.

Unexpectedly, the aunt let out a "hey" and asked Guan Rong again: "Are you wearing a white shirt, look fair and clean, and look very good?"

Guan Rong suddenly felt hopeful: "Yes!"

"My hair is a bit curly and long, and I wonder if it's time to cut it."

Guan Rong stood up excitedly and grabbed his aunt's hand: "Yes, it's him, where did you see him, auntie?"

The aunt thought for a while, and said: "Just now, didn't an old man arrive over there? I also went around to look around, and I ran into this child in the crowd. At that time, I felt that this child was not right. It was white and white. When the child saw the old man, he was stunned for a while and ran away. I watched him run towards the East Street. I guess he had never seen such a thing before, and he was frightened."

Before the aunt's voice fell, Guan Rong ran towards the East Street, and the speed of the [-]-meter sprint was no more than that.Guan Rong didn't give himself time to breathe, he glanced around while running, for fear that he might miss someone if he didn't pay attention.What's more, if he goes late, Qin Jian will be afraid by himself.

After that incident last time, he called Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin to ask about what happened four years ago.From the phone call, it was obvious that Mrs. Qin was a little surprised. It should be why he asked about the old things for many years.Although it was about privacy, Mrs. Qin still mentioned a few words, which roughly meant that four years ago, Qin Jian lived with her grandfather. Later, her grandfather died unexpectedly, and Qin Jian was taken back to the husband and wife.When she picked it up, Qin Jian was already sick.

It's hard for Guan Rong to guarantee that some of these words are true and some are false, but the fact that Qin Jian's grandfather passed away is undeniable, and it undoubtedly caused great trauma to Qin Jian.Just now the old man fell to the ground and his grandson was crying. Qin Jian saw the scene, which reminded Qin Jian of the scene of his grandfather's death. In order to avoid reality, he ran away in a panic.

Apart from this, Guan Rong couldn't think of any other reason to make Qin Jian panic.

As for Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, Guan Rong knew that they must have something else to hide from him.Moreover, if there is no accident, it is also inseparable from the death of Grandpa Qin Jian.

What is the shocking secret behind all this, to be honest, Guan Rong doesn't want to know at all.The only thing he wants to know now is where Qin Jian is.

"Qin Jian—"

"Little Jane!"

Guan Rong's original call became a roar, his eyes were red, and his face was already wet with a mixture of sweat and tears.

Can't find it, still can't find it.Guan Rong began to seriously think about whether the aunt had misread it, or she was simply lying to him.Just as he was hesitating whether to go back and ask for clarification, a burst of screaming hurt Guan Rong's eardrums.

"Above! Hey, is there someone up there?!"

"Damn it, don't you want to jump off the building?"

"What are you in a daze for? Hurry up and call the fire department. If something happens to someone, it will be over!"

There was a buzzing in Guan Rong's mind, and he rushed to the crowd in front of him without even thinking about it. When he looked up, the slender young man's figure really fell into his eyes.

"Little Jane!" Guan Rong shouted eagerly to Qin Jian who was standing on the balcony on the top floor: "Little Jane, what are you doing?! Come down quickly!"

Qin Jian heard Guan Rong's voice, lowered his head slightly, and smiled at Guan Rong.But he didn't have the slightest intention to come down. Instead, he took another step forward, leaving half of his feet in the air.

This building is actually not that high, only five floors.However, the floor where Qin Jian stood was the highest floor.This is an unrenovated old neighborhood. The building looks old. The lower two floors have been decorated as front rooms for shops. The upper floors were occupied by people. Now the facilities are aging and have been evacuated. up.

Every room has a balcony facing the road, only the fifth floor where Qin Jian is located, for some reason, a part of the balcony railing is missing, and under the gap is the street with people coming and going.

As for Qin Jian, who was right next to the gap in the balcony, every movement made the crowd below anxious and frightened.

"Hey, isn't that child Qin Jian?"

"Why are you back again? Didn't his parents take him away?"

"Who knows, Lao Qin is gone, don't let this kid get too busy and follow him..."

Guan Rong vaguely heard some people talking, and realized that these people should know Qin Jian.However, it was too late to inquire. Guan Rong pushed aside the crowd and rushed up to the fifth floor. After that, he saw the somewhat mottled iron door.

The door was closed tightly, and there were spots of rust on the gray-green door, as if it was bloodstained many years ago.No one has been here for a long time, even in the daytime, the corridor is still dim.It was damp, with a musty smell. Guan Rong took a deep breath, only feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, oppressed and uncomfortable.

Guan Rong put his hand on the door, and with a light push, the door opened.

Guan Rong saw that Qin Jian, who was not far away from him, turned his head slowly when he heard the movement behind him. The sunlight shone on his side face, which was so clean that it made people feel distressed.Qin Jian stood there with yellowed curtains flying around Qin Jian like butterflies.

For a moment, Guan Rong even thought he saw a little angel, but the angel's arm was covered with scars...

Qin Jian saw Guan Rong, and the rusty fruit knife in his hand slipped and collided with the floor, making a "bang" sound.Blood was gushing from the wounds on Qin Jian's wrist and arm, dripping down, staining his white shirt red.

Guan Rong came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "Little Jane, what are you doing?"

Qin Jian was still smiling: "I want to find grandpa."

"Why are you looking for grandpa?" Guan Rong tried to approach step by step.

"Grandpa is the best person in the world." Qin Jian's eyes were swollen from crying, but the smile on the corners of his mouth did not diminish, "I miss him."

Guan Rong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Come here first, let's go find Grandpa together later, shall we?"

Qin Jian didn't answer whether it was good or bad, but just said to herself: "Grandpa died. When he died, I was by his side and watched him. He was lying there, and I called him, but he didn't say a word. " Paused, then said, "It's all my fault, if I could have come back earlier that day, grandpa wouldn't have died. And they, I hate them."

Qin Jian's eyes were full of self-blame and resentment that could not be concealed, and self-blame was the inability to let go of his own mistakes.As for the resentment, Guan Rong felt that this resentment should be aimed at the "them" in Qin Jian's mouth, that is, Qin Jian's parents.

"Xiao Jian, do you hate me?" Guan Rong was already very close to Qin Jian, but he didn't dare to get any closer.Because he saw Qin Jian's body leaning outward again, as if he would fall if the wind blows.

Qin Jian shook his head lightly.

Guan Rong's throat was choked with pain, and he said sourly: "Little Jane, it's okay, grandpa is gone, you still have me. I will always protect you and stay with you. So, be good, come here.|"

Guan Rong opened his hands, like a bird spreading its wings, eager to embrace the teetering young man in his arms.

Qin Jian was silent for a while, as if attracted by Guan Rong's words, she finally took a step back, turned to face Guan Rong, and then slowly raised her arms.

Guan Rong burst into tears.Immediately walked over to hug Qin Jian, but at the moment when his hand was about to touch Qin Jian's fingertips, Qin Jian closed his eyes, and he lay down straight.

"Thank you." Qin Jian said.

"Qin Jian!"

At that moment, Guan Rong's mind was completely blank, only the falling figure was left in his eyes, and then, without any hesitation, he also jumped down.

His eyes were blurred with tears, but he grabbed Qin Jian's hand accurately and pulled Qin Jian into his arms in mid-air with all his strength.

"Little Jane," Guan Rong whispered softly in Qin Jian's ear, "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

Even if you are facing death, I will always be by your side. It is agreed that I will protect you.

"Brother Guan, I like you."

These were the last words Guan Rong heard before losing consciousness.

Guan Rong thought, if he could hear these four words in his lifetime, he would be fine.
