inherent gravity

I have been with you for so many years... In the end, I have to pay so much money with you for my own illness... Do you really have the heart? "

Standing at a loss, Mu Qing stiffened his back and hurriedly waved his hands: "Uncle, don't say such things!"

"Son, I really wronged you these days." Old He patted his hand distressedly, "It's dead, let's go home."

Looking at the elderly man in front of him, Mu Qing desperately shook his head with tears in his eyes: "I'm not wronged... I'm really not wronged."

"Actually, I heard what you said at the door of the ward that day." Lao He couldn't help coughing again after he said this long series of words: "In fact, he is not bad-tempered, but his temper is too impatient... .. You have to take care of it in the days to come."

"I know." Mu Qing sniffed, but the worry in his heart became more and more serious-after Lao He's words, it vaguely made people feel that he was more like confessing his last words.

"The past few days in the hospital are really too painful," Lao He sighed and shook his head, "If you are really doing it for my own good, let this old bone of mine live comfortably at home for a few more days."

Kou Xiao stood there for a long time, and what Lao He said just now seemed to wake him up suddenly, and a chaotic confusion suddenly flooded his heart-yes, no matter what he did in the end, he still mistreated the most important thing in his life. Of the two people, he couldn't keep the life of one, and the other kept saying that he would hold it on top of his heart, but in the end it still broke his heart.

Family affection and love, the two are things that are difficult to part with, either they can't afford it, or they can't let it go.

"I'm going... to go through the discharge procedures." Kou Xiao lowered his eyes and turned around. When he crossed the threshold, he staggered a little. When Mu Qing caught up with him and grabbed his arm, he didn't even dare to look directly at his face. Eye.

"Brother Kou, Uncle He didn't mean that." Mu Qing was anxious, and pulled him even harder: "Don't think about it, I really don't feel wronged... I am very happy to be with you." happy!"

"It's very tiring," Kou Xiao stopped, looked at him and said word by word, "Is it tiring after following me for so many years?"

"I'm not tired," Mu Qing stiffened his neck, subconsciously added: "...Don't say it, I'm afraid."

He was afraid, afraid that Kou Xiao would say that he didn't want him in the next second.

"Fool." Kou Xiao gently squeezed his cold knuckles, his tone was a bit difficult: "It's all my brother's fault... It's such a time, how could I not want you?"

After so many years, Kou Xiao still understands him.He knew that when Mu Qing was 20 years old, he could put everything down and go with him, and he could share a bowl of wonton half and half, but he really owed him too much, and he was at a loss as to how to make up for it.

Loving and being loved is really a tiring thing, the only thing to be thankful for is that the two of you still have a long time, he can learn, and it doesn't matter if you slow down.

......

The day Lao He was discharged from the hospital was a sunny day. Although the wind on the road was still cool, the damn rain stopped falling.At first glance after the dark clouds cleared, I really thought it was a beautiful spring day.

But probably because he knew that his time was short, he often leaned against the window and stared outside in a daze after returning home. The thin sunlight shone on his face, and forcefully forced a bit of anger from his withered face. , it looks much better than the state in the hospital.

He doesn't let Kou Xiao ask for leave to stay with him at home, and he likes to sit quietly in a daze alone, because it can not only remind him of many past things, but also let him feel that although he has been alone in his life, he will not be left alone after death Collect the body, and before he dies, he can still have two filial children by his side.

This is enough, this life is not in vain.Old He smiled lightly.

In fact, he had already thought about his plan after being discharged from the hospital, but he was just waiting for the right time.

Kou Xiao probably remembered it all his life. It was also a sunny day. Before he went out, Lao He suddenly told him that he wanted to eat a bowl of tomato egg noodles. When he hurriedly prepared it in the kitchen, Lao He was already sitting upright After leaving the table, the look in his eyes was as gentle and kind as ever.

But Kou Xiao couldn't help frowning, feeling that Lao He's behavior today was a little different from before.

"Just stay at home and don't run around. I only work half a day, and I will accompany you when I come back." He said.

Lao He didn't speak, he picked a chopstick and put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly - this is the taste, he will remember it in his next life.

"Do you still remember when I first picked you up, every morning you secretly got up and cooked noodles for me, for fear that I would throw you back again." Old He said with a smile.

"...How long ago did it happen?" Kou Xiao coughed.

Of course he remembered, how old was he then?It seems that the body is not as high as the stove.

Mu Qing smiled and said nothing, bowed his head and took a bite of the noodles that Kou Xiao had picked up.

Lao He's appetite was surprisingly good today, and he actually finished a whole bowl of noodles and soup. Kou Xiao raised his eyebrows while tidying up the bowls and chopsticks: "Why are you so happy?"

"Go to work quickly, you'll be late later." Lao He smiled and waved his hands, but before leaving, he told him worriedly: "...Remember to be nice to Xiao Qing, my friend I don't know how much suffering I have endured following you, do you know?"

"I know." Kou Xiao was a little helpless, he turned his mind and deliberately brought him over, and kissed him hard on the face as if to prove it: "Don't worry, I will treat him well in my life!"

"What are you doing so early in the morning...Go away." Mu Qing was thin-skinned and pushed him with a blushing face.

Old He smiled and watched the two young men going out of the house, and then he got up slowly, went back to the room and changed into a new set of clothes that he had never worn before, and then reluctantly glanced at the two young people. After visiting this house several times, he finally closed the door gently.

Never came back after that.

He limped along the road with crutches, and often had to stop to catch his breath after taking two steps. He just stopped and went, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around him with his old and dim eyes. Finally stopped by the river.

The shimmering river made him stop silently for a long time. Although he didn't know where he should go, he knew it was time for him to leave.

After slowly straightening his waist, he planned to rush to the next destination, but suddenly heard a loud scream from the side: "Help!!"

He Lide turned his head abruptly, only to see a pale woman waving her arms wildly, pointing at the water and crying loudly, "My child—who can come and save my child!"

Suddenly, without any hesitation, he threw down his crutches and jumped into the water, struggling to swim towards the struggling figure who fell into the water - even he himself did not expect that one leg was disabled and terminally ill The old man can actually explode with such a huge force.

Just like a mother struggling to lift a baby over her head in an earthquake, He Lide pushed the baby ashore with his last strength, and in the end, like a piece of dead wood slowly sank to the bottom of the water, a small string of fine particles emerged. bubbles.

At the last moment of his life, He Lide showed a faint smile on his face. He seemed to see Kou Xiao, who had just finished school many years ago, lazily raised his eyelids at him with a schoolbag on one shoulder: "Hey old man, today is the time for you to go to school." What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

"Tomato...egg noodles."

Chapter 56

◎"Dad." Kou Xiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I'm sorry."◎

When dealing with Lao He's funeral, Kou Xiao didn't shed a single tear, and his indifference throughout the whole process made him startled.

From a still fresh body to a pale and swollen corpse, and then into a handful of ashes and packed into a small boxy box, he didn't realize that such a living person was so lifeless. up.

When staring at the smiling black-and-white photo, he couldn't say he was sad for a moment, but he was just dazed and confused.

Only Mu Qing was crying throughout the whole process, and his beautiful clear eyes were abruptly turned red by the salt in the tears, so much so that his eyes were a little blurred a few days after the burial, and he had to stop by eye drops to relieve it.

The only similarity between the two is that on the right arm, a small piece of black cloth was tied to observe filial piety. I hope that the spirit of the sleeping man in the sky will also get some comfort when he sees it.

It rained a little on the day of the burial, but the weather has gradually started to warm up. The damp cold that can penetrate into human bones has finally been left in this bitter cold and long season.

There are three more days, and it will be the beginning of spring.Kou Xiao's eyes darkened.

He still hasn't survived the winter.

"Come and eat something, I cooked porridge." Mu Qing tugged his arm lightly, his tone was soft and hoarse: "If you don't eat anything, your body won't be able to bear it..."

Kou Xiao was silent, his empty and blank eyes turned around on his face and then turned back out of the window, slowly drifting away far away - what are you looking at?He himself does not know.But I just feel tired all over, have no energy, don't want to listen or move, just sit here in a daze.

"Kou Xiao..." Mu Qing's voice suddenly turned into tears, "Don't be like this."

such a situation has been
