love after ten years

◎The dead are dead, so are the living. ◎

The road into the mountain is much better than when Gu Qiyu left. There are still dense forests on both sides of the road, and the flat asphalt road winds along the mountain and extends into the depths of the jungle.

Gu Qiyu knew that no matter how good the road conditions were, winding mountain roads were winding mountain roads, not only had to be careful when driving, but also had to endure nausea and dizziness.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk. I will drive slowly. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time. Don't resist." Su Ziye instructed.

Gu Qiyu nodded in response, but he still trusted Su Ziye's driving skills.

But the truth is, trustworthy is trustworthy. After all, it is a person who has not walked the mountain road for many years. Gu Qiyu vomited three times during the one-hour journey. If Su Ziye didn't know some massage techniques, he might have spit out his heart, liver and lungs.

After an hour and a half of driving, the car finally entered the village when Gu Qiyu's face turned from yellow to green and he couldn't stand it any longer.

The village has changed in the past. Although every family still lives in two- or three-story small buildings, they are obviously different from the previous mud walls and earth tiles. They are all small villas with novel styles, red walls and green tiles or pavilions. Towers and pavilions, everything is not lacking.

There are not many people in the village, no matter men, women, old or young, I didn't see many people, and I drove all the way to the door of the house, and I didn't even meet acquaintances.

Gu Qiyu's hometown is halfway up the mountain.People in the mountains of Sichuan do not build houses like those in the northern plains. The houses built in the mountains look like ridges and peaks on the sides, and they are neatly arranged in rows like squares or strips. Built on a mountain road.Therefore, the nearest neighbor to the Gu family's old house must be 200 meters away, and that house has collapsed, and it may have been moved away for many years.

Su Ziye accompanied Gu Qiyu out of the car, and the Gu family's old house in front of him was also in a state of decay. Although it was not as serious as the house 200 meters away, the walls were mottled and moss was everywhere, and it might not last for a few years.

"Five years ago, I sent money to the village head and asked him to help with repairs. Then I got busier and forgot about repairing the house. Now I don't even have a place to live. Do you think it's retribution? " Gu Qiyu pulled out a few weeds at the door with a smile, turned around and said to Su Ziye: "But it doesn't look too dilapidated. I'll ask the village chief to ask if there is an engineering team nearby to repair the house. After a while, you should still be able to live."

Su Ziye looked up at the "dangerous building" in front of him, and shook his head disapprovingly, "It's better not to live in it, the frame is already unstable, and major repairs may not be safe unless it is demolished and rebuilt."

"But, I want to live here. If not, I can just build a small room next to it. Anyway, I'm alone, so I don't have high requirements."

Gu Qiyu stepped forward and pushed open the door, and with the "squeak" of the old hinges, thick dust floated down. No matter how well-trained Su Ziye was, he couldn't resist his body's instincts and was forced to He took a few steps back and coughed five or six times before he stopped.

Gu Qiyu glanced at Su Ziye apologetically, and was about to step into the room. Su Ziye strode up to hold him, and said in a displeased tone, "I said that I came to pay homage to your parents. After the sacrifice, you have to go back with me for treatment Yes, why are you going back on your word and insisting on living here now?"

Then, he pointed to a wall that collapsed inside the door, "Besides, with this condition, how do you live? Even if you build a new room next to it, you won't be afraid that the house will collapse and bury you in the middle of the night when you fall asleep." in?"

Gu Qiyu lowered his eyes when he heard the words, the weather is very good today, Gu Qiyu's eyelashes are distinct under the sun, and he couldn't stop trembling slightly. "Doctor Su, you know better than I do that there is not much time left, don't you? In the last days, let me fend for myself here. Even if the house really collapses and bury me, it will save the trouble of burial .”

Pulling Gu Qiyu's hand down suddenly, Su Ziye of course knew how far Gu Qiyu's illness had progressed. Before leaving, the old man said that life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and advised him not to be too persistent, there are too many things that can't be done in this world .

However, they just met again, how could they bear it?

"You are missing, Cheng Mingxiao will be very worried." Su Ziye found an excuse that he thought was okay.

Gu Qiyu smiled lightly and said: "The one who is looking for is missing, and the one who is not looking for is travel. Between me and him, the love and hatred end here. I just want to be alone for the rest of my life." Quietly wait for death."

Su Ziye thought that no one is really not afraid of death.

How many patients in the hospital knelt in front of him or other doctors, crying for help, but they could only do their best, and people in the hands of death were not so easy to grab.

As for Gu Qiyu, he always advised himself to do his best, but he never knew that Gu Qiyu was just waiting to die, and he didn't even have a chance to give him the best.

"Thank you, Dr. Su. I really don't know how to thank you for helping me to this point. If we meet in the next life... Forget it, don't talk about meeting in the next life. I don't want to be a human again if I'm an insect or a bird or a mayfly. I can only owe it." Gu Qiyu's tone was very light, but the meaning of determination was strong.

Su Ziye didn't try to persuade him any more, but just kept silent for a long time, and said, "I don't dare to be kind, and you don't have to pay it back. Let's talk about the house after the incident. Anyway, I can't live today. Go to see your parents first, and then go to see your parents." Find someone to ask about repairing the house."

Gu Qiyu didn't insist anymore, the renovation of the old house could not be completed in a day or two, even if he didn't want to drag Su Ziye down, Su Ziye would not leave him in this situation.

The graves of the two elders of the Gu family are not far away, just one mile behind the house in the field, and you can smell the fragrance of gardenias from a long distance away.

"Actually, my family stopped farming in the village before my father passed away. My father was able to endure hardships, so he went out to work as a contractor early on. Later, he worked hard for a few years and bought a small house in the urban area to take me and my mother out of the mountains. Later My father passed away, and rural people pay attention to returning leaves to their roots, so my mother buried my father in her own field, and even dug a hole and planted this pine tree herself." Gu Qiyu placed the bouquet Su Ziye handed him in front of the tombstone, and took his sleeve Wiped the photo on the tombstone.

Su Ziye lowered his head to help arrange fruit snacks. He was complicated and difficult to understand, and he didn't know how to respond to Gu Qiyu. Gu Qiyu didn't seem to need his response, and he was still rambling beside him in a faint tone.

"In addition to being sad and planning a funeral, my mother fell ill. She was ill for three years. She persisted until the second day of my college entrance examination. I took someone to help with the burial, and I moved the gardenia tree that my dad planted in the courtyard to my mother’s grave, and then I went to university, and it took me nine years to leave.”

Su Ziye didn't want Gu Qiyu to be stuck in the memories alone, so she couldn't help interjecting: "Then you also want to return to the roots now?"

Gu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, his face was blank, and then he said disappointedly: "I'm afraid my mother doesn't want me to come back to hinder her eyes. Back then, when my father died in a car accident, I accepted the financial compensation from the murderer and did not file a lawsuit. The house they left me was sold. I think my mother still blames me."

After a pause, he seemed to explain himself, and also seemed to explain to Su Ziye, "But there was no way at that time, my mother was ill, how could I earn high medical expenses as a student, if I didn't accept the money, no Selling the house, my mother can't stand it for a year."

Su Ziye patted Gu Qiyu's shoulder, and silently stepped back, leaving a private space for Gu Qiyu's family.

He didn't know how to comfort Gu Qiyu, would he say "Your mother won't blame you"?In fact, Gu Qiyu himself didn't know that his parents would not blame him, he just couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.

The dead are gone, the living are like this.

There is no better choice than taking father's compensation and house money to save mother's life.
