I heard that Dr. Cheng is not easy to follow.

The past time was not long, but it was not short either. After the parents went to the compound several times to take care of the child and sent various things, the two finally discussed with the mother-in-law to adopt the child.

The couple looked very friendly. Thinking about it, they were introduced by Wang Bai. They are at ease. Both Li Yuancheng and Lu Xia married late. Lu Xia is three years older than Li Yuancheng. Considering that Lu Xia is too risky to have a child, The two are not so feudal and traditional, so they don't need to think about the issue of inheriting the family, so they inquired about the compound from Wang Bai, and they thought about adopting a child, which was also their sustenance.

The matter was quickly finalized. After the Chinese New Year, the couple would come to the compound to visit the children from time to time. In fact, they were also secretly observing the children's every move, hoping to find a little girl who would get along with them.

The little girl's name is Li Xiaoxiao, her mother-in-law's surname is Li, and she follows her mother-in-law's surname. It happens that her husband Li Yuancheng's surname is also Li. The husband and wife have no plans to change the child's name, which saves steps. I don't care, the mother-in-law will praise the couple from time to time when she is touched, they have few things and they are kind-hearted.

After asking for Li Xiaoxiao's opinion, the mother-in-law went through a series of procedures before agreeing that the husband and wife could take the child home. On the day Li Xiaoxiao was taken away, Cheng Sen Hospital was busy, so Zhu Le went back to the compound My son, Blessing is still in school, so I gave the gift to Li Xiaoxiao to Zhu Le in advance, and asked Zhu Le to pass it on to Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao was only seven years old. When he had a ignorant understanding of the world and did not form the correct three views, until his adoptive parents asked him to say goodbye to his mother-in-law, Brother Lele, and the children, Li Xiaoxiao It was only when I laughed that I really understood the meaning of adoption, and my tears kept falling, wanting to welcome a new life but at the same time reluctant to part with everything here.

The mother-in-law was also supported by Zhu Le and couldn't help wiping her tears, and she would sigh from time to time. Zhu Le pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

Li Yuancheng and Lu Xia have been patiently persuading Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, be obedient, I will bring you back here when mom and dad are not busy, and see mother-in-law, is that okay?"

Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help sobbing, and her mother-in-law persuaded her while wiping away her tears, "Xiaoxiao, it's okay, as long as the compound is still alive, this will always be your home."

The children were crying too. Their naive age and calm life made them unaware of their situation until the arrival of the couple, as if the glass had been broken and people from outside came in. After taking away the people inside, ripples appeared on the calm water after all. As for when the sprouted seed in the children's hearts will grow into a towering tree, it is unknown.

Li Xiaoxiao was taken away in the end, except for a dilapidated doll in a large courtyard, nothing else was taken away, even the clothes on her body were bought by her adoptive parents.

The courtyard seems to have returned to the old days. The surrounding towering trees are still lush, and the sunlight cast in the gaps between the leaves is still there, but the shadows blocked by the trees seem to be more and more compelling.

It was already night when Zhu Le returned to the urban area that day, and Cheng Sen hadn't come back yet. After a year later, Cheng Sen became more and more busy, and sometimes he couldn't rest for a day, and he kept circling around the operating table.

When Zhu Le returned home without eating, he collapsed on the bed. Zhu Le was very tired, not only physically, but also psychologically. When he saw Li Xiaoxiao being picked up, it was a lie that Zhu Le was not touched. , but Zhu Le knows that he can't change anything, but this does not prevent him from being sad. In the dead of night, when he is alone, he is sad.

After getting to know Cheng Sen, this was the first time Zhu Le vented - he overturned everything on the table in the living room to the ground. Of course, Zhu Le changed places for the flowers and the trophy Cheng Sen sent.

Zhu Le wants to fight, to shout, to run, to run on the horizon before sunrise, to find a corner with no one to clenched his fists, to lie on the land with the fragrance of soil, to wait for the sunrise and sunset, to watch the flowers bloom defeat.

In the first 22 years of Zhu Le's birth, he didn't want to have too many entanglements with people in this world. He wanted to be alone from beginning to end. He didn't want to hear anyone's cry when he died, and he didn't want to see Others shed tears for him, he is not worth it, there is no marrow in his bones, no blood, full of rootless weeds, rotten.

Maybe he will turn into a swamp when he dies.

Before the day when he didn't meet Cheng Sen, Zhu Le thought like this every day.

But that day when he met Cheng Sen, Zhu Le lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Thinking of the scene when he first met Cheng Sen, Zhu Le thought a lot, and wanted to vent his emotions through various channels, but when he was around 22 years old, The only difference is that after the age of 22, Zhu Le never thought of dying again.

Obviously death is the easiest choice.

But Zhule doesn't want to turn into a swamp anymore.

Zhu Le wants to accompany Cheng Sen. He doesn't want Cheng Sen to live alone in the world, like himself before the age of 22, like a walking dead. He doesn't worry that Cheng Sen will find a new partner after his death. Cheng Sen will not, Cheng Sen His soul seems to be tied to his own soul, how can the fallen Cheng Sen continue to walk in the world.

Maybe the moon is too bright tonight, and the stars are dazzling. In the room with no lights on, Zhu Le is sobbing quietly alone, like Li Xiaoxiao, like a child who has lost his home.

Zhu Le doesn't cry often, crying can't solve the problem, can't wash his soul, can't get rid of the weeds in his bones, but tonight, under the urging of the moon and stars, Zhu Le huddled in the corner of the bed and whimpered softly , unlike a bereaved dog, which whines before throwing itself into another's arms.

Zhu Le had a dream. It has been a long time since the last dream. In the dream, Zhu Le seemed to be walking on a tightrope. Every step was extremely difficult. In the darkness, countless pairs of eyes stared and countless mouths smiled. The colder it was, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, Zhu Le felt something flowing from the corner of his eyes, sliding across his cheeks to his jaw, Zhu Le didn't want to cry, but the tears kept flowing down, Zhu Le couldn't control it.

Zhu Le stood on the steel wire and shed tears for a long time, and suffered from the cold for a long time. Just when Zhu Le thought that his tears were about to freeze on his face, Zhu Le was pulled into a hug. With a hint of coldness, Ke Zhule was greedy for this embrace, attracting Zhu Le like a poppy flower, his eyes and mouth in the darkness disappeared in an instant, only a pair of hands stretched out to him remained, and the man was still chanting "Lele, Lele..."

This is the end.

The weeds in Zhu Le's bones seemed to have roots, growing wantonly, towards the tombstone, towards the sky.
