half city sweet

After the autumn rain, the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk. Huo Jingchen followed the prompts on his mobile phone to cross Luming Lake, bypass the deer farm, and walked westward for three or four kilometers before he found the small red-roofed building hidden in the woods.

The surrounding walls are mottled, the iron gate is ajar, and there is a rusty signboard on the wall on the right, with the words 'Luming Nursing Home' engraved on it.Push the door and go in, the path paved with green bricks is very difficult to walk because of the potholes due to disrepair.

Four or five sycamore trees were planted in the yard, under the canopy of the trees there were round wrought iron tables, and six simple chairs were placed neatly beside each table.

The two red dots showing the location on the phone gradually overlapped, and Huo Jingchen stepped into the gray three-story building in front of him.The stairs were old and dimly lit. There were not many people in the building and it was very empty. Occasionally someone coughed and echoed. He searched for it layer by layer.

Finally, I saw Qiao Chu's figure in the room at the end of the top floor. The door was not closed tightly. Huo Jingchen looked in along the half-open gap. There was a woman with an oxygen mask lying on the only bed in the room. , Lin Qi sat on the edge of the bed with his back turned to him, as if he was wiping a woman's hands, while Qiao Chu stood at the end of the bed with a calm expression.

Lin Qi wiped lightly and slowly, his eyebrows were gentle, and it took him a long time to say, "You don't seem surprised to see her at all."

Qiao Chu glanced at the woman lying on the bed and said, "At first I didn't pay attention to her whereabouts. It wasn't until you deliberately lured me to Li Hai that I remembered that when I was investigating Ye Bingkun, I accidentally found out that Shao Minen's birthplace was here. .”

Shao Minen on the bed was wearing exquisite makeup, wearing a long white dress, and folded his hands on his abdomen. If it wasn't for the faint heaving of the ventilator beside the bed, he would almost have thought that this person had died. up.

Lin Qi laughed out loud, "Ah, it was my negligence. I actually forgot how a smart person like you can't think of the connection."

For his praise, Qiao Chu shook his head in disapproval, "If I was really smart, I wouldn't have been lied to by you for ten years, and I wouldn't even want to find out what's going on between us."

Lin Qi gently stroked Shao Minen's eyebrows, as if he was nostalgic and relieved.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly sighed, like the last sigh after a long period of repression, "Originally, I wanted you to live in the maze forever, but this is her last wish, maybe I just told you It is the greatest cruelty to you."

"It's too long ago, where do I start to talk about it?" Lin Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and salvaged the past that had been rotten in the mud of memory bit by bit, rinsed it with cold water, peeled it off, and dried it in the sun.

"The fishing village where they lived was flooded that year, and the relatives of the siblings died in that disaster. Later, they were taken to the orphanage in the city. The unfamiliar environment and unknown life made the two children very scared. In the face of this sudden change, the younger brother who is under five years old can only rely on his only sister tightly.

At that time, there were a lot of children in the orphanage, and there were not enough beds in the courtyard. Many children could only sleep on the floor. My brother was often bullied when he was young, so he had to sleep with his sister.It is really pitiful that the two children are covered with a blanket less than one meter wide in the cold winter.

Not long after, my younger brother contracted tuberculosis because of a cold. Tuberculosis was a fatal disease at that time. The dean was afraid that he would infect others, so he sent his younger brother out overnight. It was funny to say that when his younger brother was sent out, The elder sister even held his hand to let him recuperate, and he would come back when he recovered. The stupid younger brother believed him, but then he was wrapped in a blanket and thrown at the back door of the emergency hospital.

It was so cold at that time, he curled up by the trash can by himself and didn't dare to move, he was waiting, waiting for his sister to pick him up, but it was already dawn, he couldn't open his eyes because of the cold He didn't see the sister he missed so much, that's when he realized that he was abandoned, and death was so close to him, he cried out in fear. "

Speaking of this, Lin Qi smiled again, "Maybe his crying moved God, the god of luck gave him a little push, and then he was discovered by the old nurse on duty, and he stayed in the hospital for a year He survived by luck, and was adopted by a kind old nurse. Gradually, he lived a normal life.

He fell in love with painting and learned to use a brush to fill the shadows of his childhood. He has like-minded friends and a gentle and beautiful lover. The only imperfection in his life is probably that the old nurse fell ill in the second year of his graduation. He passed away. At that time, he really thought that this was the best life, but the reality gave him a hard hammer. At a party, he was tricked by his friends into drug addiction. "

Lin Qi sighed, "The young man knows that it will be ruined if it is stained for the rest of his life, but he is reluctant to part with his current life, his favorite painting, his beautiful lover, he can only sneak around like a mouse living in the gutter. Taking drugs, it didn't take long for the savings left to him by the old nurse to be spent. Without money, he went to buy a house and borrowed usury.

His drug addiction is getting bigger and bigger, he borrows more and more usury loans, and the mortgaged house can't be repaid at all. The young man has been hiding for several days and is still caught. Those people are going to chop off his hands. He is afraid, How would he paint without his hands.

At this time, he suddenly thought of his lover who was learning to dance. He knelt on the ground and said the most malicious words in the most humble gesture. He said that he would use his lover to offset part of the loan.Poor his gentle and beautiful lover who is still full of joy waiting for the young man to marry her, who knows that she has been pushed to the cusp of disaster. "

Speaking of this, Lin Qi seemed to have remembered something, and asked Qiao Chu with raised eyebrows, "Guess, what are the names of that young man and his lover?"

Qiao Chu shook his hands slightly. Painter and dancer are too directional. The names of these two people were once bound to the Ye family two years ago.

Lin Qi stared at him, and said word by word, "They-they-call, Liu-han, Shao-min." After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Shao Minen again, and used an indifferent tone that had nothing to do with him. The sludge submerged in time is cut open.

On Christmas Eve, Shao Min finished her day's rehearsal early and dressed up again. Liu Han called yesterday and said that she would take her on a date today. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month.

The winter in Li Hai was gloomy and cold. Shao Min wrapped himself in a cotton coat, and his face was almost buried in the scarf around his neck. The pure white cotton scarf was specially bought by Liu Han when winter just started It was given to her, as if thinking of the scene that day again, Shao Min secretly kicked the snow on the ground with corners of his mouth bent.

The winter night was getting dark quickly, and she waited for a while under the streetlight at the alley where the two of them often met. The snow is also very suitable.

The winter snow was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no one at the dim street lamp. Shao Min looked up at the snowflakes illuminated by the street lamp. The golden yellow was very beautiful. She heard someone coming up behind her, stepping on the thick snow Squeaking, she closed her eyes, and with a smile on her lips, she turned around and was knocked out before she could see her lover's face clearly.

Liu Han threw away the stick in his hand and hugged Shao Min in his arms. After walking a few steps, Liu Han's legs began to feel weak. These days, he couldn't get enough to eat while hiding, and his drug addiction relapsed. He felt itchy and uncomfortable, and wished he could scratch it away with his hands, Liu Han's legs gave way and almost threw Shao Minren out, and the two of them fell on the icy concrete road in embarrassment.

A colorless van was parked less than ten meters away from the two of them. As if seeing a savior, Liu Han pushed away Shao Min, staggered to the front of the car and slapped on the door, muttering "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, please give me some fans."

Brother Hu pushed open the car door and kicked Liu Han away, walked towards Shao Min stroking his bald head, then grabbed her hair, looked her up and down and said, "Looks are a sign."

Liu Han was kicked and rolled on the ground twice, and when he regained his strength, he crawled to Shao Min's side with all his hands and feet and showed a flattering smile to Brother Hu, "Brother Hu, I gave it to you, please give me some powder." .”

Brother Hu beckoned to the van, and two people quickly got out of the van and dragged Shao Min away. Brother Hu squatted in front of Liu Han, spit at him, and patted the corner of his bruised mouth with his hand, "The money is not paid, Still have the face to ask for something."

As he spoke, he stood up and kicked Liu Han indiscriminately.Liu Han hugged his head and shrunk into a ball. Brother Hu was so strong and strong that Liu Han could hear the sound of his ribs breaking when he stepped down.After kicking Brother Hu a few more times, he straightened his clothes, touched his bald head, and swaggered away.

The van brushed Liu Han's body and slowly drove past. Before closing the window, Brother Hu yelled at Liu Han who was lying on the ground and could not move, "Three days, if the remaining money is not paid, I will throw you into the sea." Feed the fish."

Liu Han trembled a bit, but he didn't dare to lift his head.

Shao Min woke up in a burst of severe pain, surrounded by more than a dozen people, dilapidated wooden beds, old hanging lamps, and the hands of those people were moving back and forth on her body. Weeping bitterly, she struggled and cried.

It seemed insignificant amidst all the laughter, she was digging on the wooden bed under her body, the wooden thorns stuck into her fingers, blood flowed out, those people tortured her even more crazily as if they had found a more fun game , Day and night, she didn't know whether she was dead or alive, the pain was so extreme that only numbness remained.

She herself couldn't remember how long such days passed, she was clearly hovering on the verge of death every time, but in the end she survived helplessly.

By the time she came out of that room, the snow had already melted, and the sun was bright and warm. Before Shao Min could reach out to catch the sun, someone put a black cloth bag on her head, bound her hands, and staggered to push her. into a truck.

People's spirits are always very sensitive in the dark, sobbing and whimpering could be heard non-stop. At first Shao Min didn't dare to speak, but the crying around him sounded like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

She suddenly thought of her little cousin, who hugged her leg the day she was leaving the house and muttered to her to bring candy home, tears welled up in her eyes.

Shao Min asked in a low voice, "What's your name." The child seemed to be frightened, and he trembled for a while before saying, "Xiao En."

In the helpless darkness, that soft voice seemed to give Shao Min a ray of courage. She whispered to the little girl beside her and survived day after day.
