"Why am I lying here?" Lu Sheng lay on his back on the ground, looking at the sky against the neon lights, which seemed so illusory at one moment and so real at the other.
Lu Sheng's consciousness had no idea how long he had been lying here, but what happened just now seemed to him to have gone through a long time.
The hard and temperatureless ground was sucking Lu Sheng's body temperature. The cold was quickly taking over his whole body. Lu Sheng's limbs could no longer move, and he was waiting here helplessly, waiting to be helped by others.
"When...when..."
There was a voice coming from beside me, "This voice means someone is coming over. Who is it? Come and pull me and help me."
Lu Sheng moved his mouth with difficulty, wondering if the people next to him heard his voice, "Help me."
The sky seemed to be rotating and the ground was shaking slightly. His eyes were about to close. Perhaps due to the support of his will, Lu Sheng opened his eyes again.
Lu Sheng moved his eyes, looked at the person squatting next to him, and carefully confirmed that it was Xiao Wu.
"Are you awake? Don't sleep, don't sleep."
Lu Sheng continued to try to make a sound. He was not sure whether Xiao Wu could hear it, so he still persisted and moved his lips slightly, "Help me..."
Lu Sheng felt that many people not far away should have noticed his side, so he tried to struggle with his body, but it had no effect at all. Such a failed attempt made his face appear painful again, that expression
It is more terrible than death.
Lu Sheng gave up his efforts and continued to place his hope on Xiao Wu beside him, "Help me..."
"As long as he is here, nothing will happen to me." This was Lu Sheng's last thought before his consciousness disappeared, followed by darkness and nothingness in front of him.
………
"Ring...Ring...Ring..."
"I know, Brother Nan, I'll check on my master again," Xiao Wu turned around and noticed Lu Sheng, who had just been woken up by the phone call, "It's okay, I'll be there right away."
"Master, you're awake. You really scared me to death just now." Xiao Wu's face appeared in Lu Sheng's sight after he woke up. As Xiao Wu said this, he put away the phone he had just hung up.
Lu Sheng rolled his eyes and looked around. He was lying on the bed in the bedroom at home. He knew that the fainting just now must have affected Xiao Wu again. He imagined how embarrassed Xiao Wu would be when he was carried back, and the physical pain intensified invisibly.
A few points.
"Master, just wake up. Brother Nan just called me and asked me to go to the police station. He said it was urgent." Although the illness was more serious this time, Xiao Wu and Lu Sheng both knew that it was a long-term illness.
There shouldn't be any big problems next, so Xiao Wu left in a hurry.
Just when Lu Sheng thought of what to say to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu had already closed the door and left.
"Is what you saw just now real? It's not like you saw it wrong."
Lu Sheng was thinking about what happened before he fainted, and suddenly felt a severe headache. His eyes were fixed on the medicine bottle beside the bed, which Xiao Wu had taken from the coffee table.
After a lot of effort, he finally got it. Holding the medicine bottle in his hand, Lu Sheng then remembered that it was another seven days and it was time to go to the old man upstairs to get the medicine.
I still felt uncomfortable, but I still stood up, walked out of the room, and walked upstairs bit by bit.
Lu Sheng gently knocked on the old man's door, expecting the old man to arrive. After a while, no one came. Just when Lu Sheng was about to knock again, he thought that the old man might not be at home or was resting, so he turned and walked downstairs.
go.
Just as Lu Sheng walked down the steps, the door opened.
"Come on, young man." The old man put on his coat and held the door handle, greeting Lu Sheng. His voice was still so kind. Every time he talked to the old man, Lu Sheng felt warm in his heart.
Lu Sheng looked at the old man at the door and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, for disturbing your rest."
"It's okay, come on, I'm still talking about it today, why haven't you come to get the medicine yet?" The old man said to Lu Sheng while closing the door.
The two of them have already arrived in the house. After many visits, Lu Sheng has become more natural in this room, no longer so cramped, and it feels more like a home here.
The two came to the sofa and sat down one after another. The scene at this time was more like an uncle and nephew than neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
"Are you still busy with that important thing?" It was the old man who took the initiative to ask about Lu Sheng's current situation.
Lu Sheng replied softly, "Well, there has been important progress recently."
The old man seemed to be blaming himself. He suddenly got up and walked back to the bedroom. As he walked, he said, "Look at me, why are you still sitting down? I'm going to get you some medicine."
The old man's back was slightly hunched, and he looked so lonely against the white wall. Lu Sheng felt a burst of sadness in his heart. He looked at the old man's back and said softly, "Don't worry, we are just in time."
Let’s chat for a while.”
Compared with the care for the old man, it was obvious that Lu Sheng's concern for the old man was far from enough. Thinking of this, Lu Sheng suddenly felt very ashamed.
The old man walked back to the sofa and reached out to hand the medicine to Lu Sheng. After Lu Sheng took it, he hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, and asked with concern for the first time in a long time,
"Uncle, I heard you talk about your little grandson, but why don't you see your son and grandson every time you come here?"
"He." Just as he was about to sit down, the old man's body suddenly paused. After he slowly sat down, he said calmly, "It's gone."
Lu Sheng suddenly felt that he might have said something he shouldn't have said, but the words had already been spoken, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort the old man.
"He has been gone for many years, and something happened to him. There were some things that he couldn't figure out and couldn't look away from, so he decided to leave."
The passage of time and the accumulation of years have taken away a lot from the old man, and it has also allowed the old man to see clearly and open up many things. He spoke slowly, as if he was telling someone else's things, but his voice was clearly still audible.
I miss my son.
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Lu Sheng and was silent for a long time. He hesitated several times before finally speaking out,
"Seeing you is like seeing my own son. If he were alive, he should be almost as old as you."
Lu Sheng felt that his nose was sore. The old man's light was very soft and not so strong, but it became Lu Sheng's best shield at this time.
From the first time he met the old man, Lu Sheng felt indescribable kindness. It turns out that some people have similar emotions, while some people are destined to be destined.
Lu Sheng didn't know how the old man spent so many years, nor how he survived the pain of losing his son, but he could indeed feel the pain of losing a loved one.
"As we get older, we just say whatever comes to our mind, alas." The old man did not continue speaking, but looked in front of him, quietly in a daze.
"Uncle, after finishing my current affairs, I will definitely visit you often in the future."
Lu Sheng almost choked up his last words. There was a special emotion in this room that was infecting Lu Sheng. Listening to the old man's words, Lu Sheng suddenly thought of his father. He could not guarantee that he would not be harmed if he continued to stay in this room.
She shed tears. When Lu Sheng went downstairs, he thought to himself, "Just wait until I finish what I am doing now."
