As soon as Xu Xilin left that day, Xu Jin was called out by a phone call.

There is a big funder who is illiterate in the law. The special purpose company he set up overseas many years ago has incomplete domestic procedures. This historical problem has somehow been uncovered by overseas investors. There are people over there questioning its legality. All strategic investors

In crisis public relations, several domestic teams responsible for wiping the butt/butt are so busy that they are overwhelmed.

Xu Jin, who had been away from home for more than two months, had not yet warmed up from sitting on the sofa, so she put two band-aids on her feet and ran to the company on her ten-centimeter stilts brand leather shoes to take charge of the situation.

When she arrived at the company, she first held a round of television and phone calls. Seeing that the plan was to be worked out overnight, Xu Jin had no choice but to pinch his increasingly dizzy temples and walk to the tea room to call Aunt Du.

Before the call was dialed, she lowered her head and found that her shoelace was broken.

Xu Jin sighed, squatted down and checked the fracture, thinking: "This is a bad year."

She was just about to get up and ask her assistant to help her buy a pair of shoes when she suddenly stood up and her eyes suddenly went dark——

The fleeting years came to an abrupt end.

Xu Xilin has not gone to the hospital more than ten times in his life, and most of them were concentrated before the age of ten. When he rushed to the hospital in a daze and panic, it was already late at night, and the autumn wind pierced his coat without mercy. Xu Xilin stood

At the entrance of the hospital, I shivered and realized that without common sense, I didn't know where to look for anyone.

Dou Xun held his hand silently.

At this time, a man who had been wandering at the entrance of the hospital saw them and strode over. The tip of his nose was red. He wondered if he was freezing outside.

"Xiao Lin?" the man said, "I'm Uncle Zhao who called you just now."

"Hello, uncle." Xu Xilin did not forget to be polite at this moment, "Where is my mother? How is it?"

Lawyer Zhao pursed his lips with difficulty, as if he was being asked, and stared at Xu Xilin for half a minute.

"Child," he sighed tremblingly and said a little incoherently, "child..."

Dou Xun felt something first, and his hand holding Xu Xilin suddenly tightened.

When it comes to what he felt that day, Xu Xilin actually can’t remember clearly. It was very much like a dream. Even the faces of the people next to him were blurred. It was exactly the same as a dream. All the team members Xu Jin had accumulated over the years were here, and he would do whatever they asked him to do.

, he would go wherever Dou Xun led him. As for the ins and outs of the whole thing, he didn't take it to heart.

At first, some of Xu Jin's female colleagues cried and wanted to hug him, but Dou Xun politely and involuntarily refused. Dou Xun felt the "daydream" that enveloped Xu Xilin with an extraordinary sensitivity.

”, and instinctively protected it, ignorantly and difficultly extending his tentacles that were not good at communicating with others, to deal with the people coming and going for Xu Xilin.

After handling the hospital affairs, the two young lawyers sent them home.

The late night street lights were connected to each other in the mist, and they flew back one by one in a row. Xu Xilin glanced out through the car window, and suddenly there was a violent panic in his heart. He just had a little feeling, and thought: "

What did I just do?"

Dou Xun put his arm around his shoulders and pushed him into his arms.

The Xu family was brightly lit all night, and Aunt Du was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard with red eyes. The moment she saw Xu Xilin, she cried "Wow". The woman's cry stung Xu Xilin's numb nerves, causing him great panic and almost helplessness.

Suddenly coming back to his senses from his anger, Xu Xilin threw Dou Xun away and strode home.

His grandmother, who was full of white hair but always well-groomed everywhere, was sitting upright in the living room. The moment Xu Xilin looked at her, his seventeen-year-old soul broke free from all the shackles of self-protection.

.

He instinctively wanted to make a fuss and vent to Grandma Xu. He wanted to shout in panic, "They said my mother is dead, they farted", and he wanted to hide behind Grandma in a hurry like a little boy, waiting.

Let the adults handle and decide everything.

But before he could do anything, he heard his grandmother sigh quietly.

Grandma Xu will shed tears when she hears Zhu Xiaocheng cry about how difficult her marriage is, she will shed tears when she hears the separation between White Snake and Mr.

I cried all my life in the story, but now, I didn’t shed a single tear. I just gently and slowly touched Ruxue’s temples and said to Xu Xilin: “This is how your grandfather died before you were born.

, he felt that he was in good health, but one day he sat down and was about to get up, and suddenly fell down, leaving us orphans and widows. I have told Yi many times that it is not good to be too fat, and it is not good to eat so much greasy food...

…”

Now, decades have passed, another fall has occurred, and those left are still orphans and widows.

"This Xiaohui," Grandma Xu said, taking a breath that seemed to be endless, like an old actress who forgot her words on the stage. She was silent for a long time before helplessly continuing her words.

Can she follow her father in everything?"

These two sentences were like a squeezing hand, gently passing over his ears, and then fiercely grabbed the soul of his seventeen-year-old boy, stretching him in an instant and tempering him into twenty-seven...

…thirty-seven.

Xu Xilin breathed out the last breath of a boy, stretched his back to the adult size in advance, stepped forward to help Grandma Xu, and said to her: "It's too late, you go to rest first, and I am fine."

Grandma Xu had to raise her head to see her grandson's face.

Xu Xilin bent down and hugged her. The tentacles were a handful of haggard old bones, which felt like an old door frame that had been hollowed out by insects. He whispered in her ear: "Xiao Hui is no longer here, and I can take care of you, eh."

?”

Every word was like a whisper, but every word was like an iron nail. After Xu Xilin finished speaking, he nailed a suit of iron armor to himself.

Then, without any explanation, he pushed Grandma Xu into the bedroom, took off her shoes and coat, covered her with a quilt, and then came out to listen to each of the guests at home say their condolences, and asked Aunt Du to bring tea and water to the guests. In the early hours of the morning,

, and then sent everyone to the door.

"My mother left behind a lot of things that I have never been exposed to and don't understand very well. I may have to ask my brothers and sisters for help in the next two days. I thank you first."

They all became "brother and sister." After a pause, he added, "Everyone should also leave me their contact information in the future. Don't cut off contact just because my mother is gone. Is there any use for me?"

, I’ll be there whenever you call.”

The next few days were spent dealing with funeral affairs, dealing with Xu Jin's property and company equity, funeral, and receiving batch after batch of visitors who had no idea what their relationship with Xu Jin was. Even with all kinds of help from her former colleagues, it was still trivial.

It was so exhausting that Xu Xilin didn't dare to ask his grandmother to worry too much, and Aunt Du didn't understand anything. Fortunately, he had Dou Xun by his side, and he could discuss everything, so he was not completely helpless.

Dou Xun took a leave of absence from school and helped him run errands and deal with various things during the day. At night, he and Xu Xilin squeezed into his single bed - the two of them could sleep well, because Xu Xilin basically couldn't sleep and was tired the whole night.

Lying quietly and not moving, it only occupies a small space.

Zhu Xiaocheng, who had been missing all day long, came, Dou Junliang also showed up, Song Lianyuan... all the people from various religions and streams that Xu Jin had come into contact with before came. Zheng Shuo made a special trip back from abroad - he could only temporarily

Staying in a hotel, Grandma Xu really didn't want to see him.

Xu Xilin entertained all the people and declined Zheng Shuo's invitation to "have a chat". Fortunately, Zheng Shuo did not force him and accepted his prevarication of "we will talk about it later" very understandingly, and then talked to everyone

Together, they sent Xu Jin off.

The first time Xu Xilin knew what "death" was was when he and his grandmother listened to the storytelling of "Xue Jiajiang" when he was very young. A three- or four-year-old child couldn't quite understand it, and most of the characters in it didn't know who they were.

I only like Third Master Bai Wenbao because "Bagua Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammer" sounds very cool.

Hearing that Bai Wenbao died in Xue Ping's hands, little Xu Xilin was at a loss. Hearing his grandmother sighing, he asked after him: "What happened to him?"

Grandma said: "He's dead."

Xu Xilin asked: "What does it mean to die?"

Grandma replied: "I won't even come here anymore."

I just won’t come here anymore.

The sorrow, hatred and joy in this world have nothing to do with it from now on.

Between people, they are like duckweeds and duckweeds. Destinations come together and dissipate, origins and annihilations are all impermanent things. Whether it is parents, brothers, or lovers, old friends, talking about the so-called "eternal life" is actually just careless.

The child is nothing.

Time comes, time gathers together, one more day is a day gained, and it can stop suddenly at any time... But most mortals cannot accept this fact, they always feel that they have "lost" something.

After everything was done, Xu Xilin was exhausted and turned into an empty shell. He lay on his back on the sofa in the living room. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there was a bright sunshine. The sky was very different and the autumn colors were just right. Doudou was lying on the window sill and sleeping sleepily.

"This dog has not been taken care of for the past two days. Is he sick?" Xu Xilin said to his grandmother, "How about I take it to the pet hospital for a checkup?"

"No need to look at it, it's not sick." Grandma said, "It's just old."

Xu Xilin was stunned for a moment. Doudou Dog came to him when he was very young. At that time, Xu Jin had a difficult time. He was very busy and had very little money. He heard that his son wanted a puppy, but she couldn't afford a puppy.

A famous purebred dog, I had to get up early in the morning, take my children to the smoky dog ​​market, and buy back this little mongrel, which became more and more unpopular as it grew older.

"Kittens and puppies, that's what they are." Grandma said almost inaudibly, "You are a Xiaoning (person), and it is a puppy. It grows with you. When you grow up, it will just say

It’s ‘gone’.”

May I ask how many roads there are to Lingshan? There are one hundred and eight thousand and more than zero.

It’s okay to kill people if you’re not tired. It’s okay to kill someone if you’re not tired.

Xu Xilin, who thought he was extremely numb and exhausted, suddenly couldn't bear it any longer. Without saying a word, he ran upstairs in three steps and then got into his bedroom.
