Shadow Stream Road

Seems like it's time to say goodbye 01

The weather forecast clearly showed that these days would be sunny, and then a gust of cloudy wind blew by, saying that the weather would change, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and the downpour drove pedestrians on the road to hurry home. I don’t know which one it is The parrot is imitating people: "It's raining! It's raining!"

The two who had no time to take shelter from the rain were drenched from head to toe. They wanted to find a hotel to rest and take a hot bath after going down the mountain to prevent colds, but the hasty phone ringing disrupted their arrangements.

Seeing that the caller was Qi Xunyu, Shen Yu handed the phone to Qi Jingyu: "It's the call from the elder brother. Could it be asking if we will go back for dinner?"

There is no Internet on the mountain, and the signal is relatively weak, but since it is a vacation, there will be nothing important, so I don't care too much.Qi Jingyu glanced at his mobile phone that had just displayed China Unicom service, only to find that his brother had called him dozens of times since four o'clock.Basically, they call every few minutes. According to Qi Xunyu's practice, the number of calls will not exceed two, unless there is an important event that must be notified.

The memory flashed back to the summer when he went out to sell melons and lost his grandmother. Qi Jingyu felt flustered for no reason. Could it be that something happened to his grandfather?

Shen Yu also saw that something was wrong with him, pressed the answer button, and said in relief: "It will be fine..."

The moment the connection was made, Qi Jingyu spoke first, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with grandpa?"

Qi Xunyu's voice on the other end of the phone was rare and serious, telling the whole story with a heavy tone.

Just as Qi Jingyu thought, the old man had an accident.

Today, Qi Jingyu and Shen Yu went to visit the grave. The old man who stayed at home and Qi Xunyu looked at each other with big eyes, and they didn't like it anyway. The old man who didn't need to cook for his grandson and grandson simply left his grandson behind and went out Go to his poker buddies to relieve fatigue.As a result, before walking a few steps, he suffered a heart attack and fell down on the side of the road.Fortunately, Qi Xunyu followed up worriedly, and sent the person to the hospital for emergency treatment in time, only to save his life, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

After hearing that his grandfather was fine, Jingyu Qi, whose legs were so frightened, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He squatted on the side of the road and grabbed a few handfuls of hair, and asked for the address of the hospital.

Instead of returning home to change clothes, the two went straight to the hospital.When he arrived, he ran into Yan Xun who was hailing a taxi at the entrance of the hospital.

After all, it was a public place, and if he was recognized, it would inevitably be another nonsense. Yan Xun asked the driver to wait for him for 2 minutes, walked up to Shen Yu, took off his hat, put it on his head, and pressed it down. He said in a low voice: "Remember to return it to me. Also, tell the smoked fish for me, I will go first and let him come to me in the old place." At the end, he added: "After all, you are a family Can be explained, I have no reason to be there."

Yan Xun's expression couldn't be seen clearly through the mask, but he could hear the self-mockery in his words.Shen Yu reacted for a few seconds before realizing that the smoked fish in Yan Xun's mouth probably referred to his eldest brother.But that man not only likes to smoke, but he is not serious at ordinary times. He also likes to make verbal bets with people, saying something as rebellious as "If I lose, I will take your surname", and he gave away the surname given by his ancestors in a few words.

As for the reason for this weird nickname, Shen Yu didn't have time to think about it for the time being. After expressing his thanks in a hurry, he hurriedly followed Qi Jingyu's footsteps and ran to the ward.

Looking at Qi Jingyu's anxious back and flustered eyes, Shen Yu, who had no way to persuade others to calm down, could only pray silently in his heart: "Old man, there is nothing wrong with you."You are the only little goldfish.

Fortunately, Qi Xunyu did not tell so-called white lies. When the two rushed to the ward out of breath, his grandfather was rescued and transferred to the ordinary ward.Although he was still wearing an oxygen mask, he gradually became conscious.When they entered the room, the two who were talking fell silent immediately, and the atmosphere was not quite right.The old man's cloudy eyes saw Qi Jingyu and the others coming, and he opened and closed his mouth, as if he had something to say to them.

"They're here too, so I won't stay here any longer to annoy you. Don't say those words anymore, I have my own considerations."

"I'll go through the formalities." Qi Xunyu, who was originally sitting by the bed, stood up, patted Qi Jingyu on the shoulder, and walked out silently.

When passing in front of him, Shen Yu smelled the smell of smoke that had not dissipated from Qi Xunyu's body.

"Grandpa." Qi Jingyu held the old man's old hand tightly, stroked the rough lines on it, and called out in a deep voice. "I am coming."

The old man had just passed through the gate of hell, and his body was still cold at the moment. Qi Jingyu rubbed the old man's palms repeatedly, trying to make his body temperature warm up as soon as possible.Looking at the old man lying on the bed with weak breathing, gray temples, and senile spots, Qi Jingyu's eyes were red, and there was an uncomfortable smell of rust in his throat.

Why did my grandfather suddenly grow old?

In his memory, he was still viciously chasing after him and his eldest brother around the courtyard with a bamboo stick in his hand, teaching them a lesson and causing trouble outside.But now he can only lie weakly on the bed, without even the strength to shake his hand back.Is this still the stubborn old man who showed his strength in front of grandma and resisted five bags of rice in one breath?Qi Jingyu didn't believe it.The grandfather in his impression is taller and more powerful than now, and he is not hunchbacked. His shirt must be kept neat and tidy, and the hem must be tucked into the waistband of his trousers. Every day in the yard, he will take care of his sacred military uniform while beating him and The eldest brother Zamabu practiced basic skills while telling them stories about his past in the barracks.In my memory, my grandfather seldom smiled. He was unsmiling, just like the living king of Hades in the picture book, the bull devil who would be brought out by the parents if the children in the yard didn't eat well.But with grandma around, grandpa won't really get angry, but he will argue with grandma on the excuse that grandma spoils the child too much and will be useless when he grows up.Grandpa and grandma quarreled all their lives. After grandma left, grandpa talked less and his back gradually became lumpy.

A man does not flick his tears easily.This is the old man's favorite sentence to educate the younger generation.He said that the man bleeds but not tears, and if he finds out how he is crying outside, just wait for him to whip his ass with a feather duster.However, when Qi Jingyu's hot tears fell on his arm, the old man just raised his hand vigorously to wipe away the disobedient tears of his little grandson.

"Grandpa, can you move in and live with me? I can take care of you. Let's live in the suite in the suburbs. It's the same as here. It's very quiet. No one will disturb you. There is also a separate small courtyard. You can arrange it as you like. I will bring you all the flowers, plants, and doves at home. I am really worried about you staying in my hometown alone... If something like this happens again next time..." Then This possibility was swallowed by Qi Jingyu, who was unwilling to face it.In this family, his grandmother was once lost due to his fault. This time, Qi Jingyu didn't want to lose his grandfather again.Only when grandpa lives with him can he be aware of grandpa's needs in the first place.

For Qi Jingyu, this may be the best solution.

But to the old man, this is tantamount to putting invisible shackles on the child.

After all, the little grandson still couldn't get out of that accident.

He didn't cry when the old woman died, but he didn't expect to cry now.The old man looked at the ceiling, breathing heavily and long.

"It's about time." He said to himself, "I haven't seen you for so long, I don't know if you still recognize me."

He has lived for so many years, in fact, it is enough. He has already been to the places he should go, and met all the people he should meet in advance. thing.Enough is enough, it is enough to live any longer.

He used to worry about what to do with his sensitive little grandson, but now that he has found happiness, the knot in his heart with the old woman has been untied. The only thing he can't let go of is the older grandson who is getting more and more rebellious.I never hoped that he would find a suitable partner, but at least he should settle down and find a child from an ordinary family to accompany him for the rest of his life, but after so long, Qi Xunyu didn't take his words seriously, and went around flirting with others, indifferent, He also learned the stinky virtues of those dandies, and spent money to find some starlets who didn't do their duty at first glance.I was driven away by him a few times before, but this time it was good, and I found another one.He talked badly, didn't listen to anything, and even said he wanted to marry him.This pissed him off, and the old man was out of breath on the spot, otherwise he wouldn't have collapsed outside.

At this time, Qi Xunyu, who was going to go through the hospitalization procedures, also came back, waved at the door, and called Qi Xunyu out alone.

The old man and Shen Yu were still left in the ward.

"Come on, kid, sit down." The old man told Shen Yu to sit down beside him. He didn't have much strength now, and his voice was not loud. He was afraid that Shen Yu wouldn't be able to hear him, or that he might hear something wrong, or get the wrong meaning. "Don't you want to know what happened to Little Goldfish?"

Shen Yu had a sore nose and shook his head, not wanting the old man to continue talking: "Next time, grandpa. After you recover from illness, you can tell me slowly. You need to rest now, next time, next time I will definitely listen carefully."

The old man pursed his lips, with tears in his eyes, "I'm afraid there will be no next time."

Are these ordinary clips boring to everyone?Because I want to tell the story of each important character, I put a little more ink on it.But in fact, I don’t seem to have set too many ups and downs for this article. I originally wanted to write about the love of two ordinary people, so it may not be enough to attract everyone. I would like to say sorry to everyone here.
