Chapter 15 Happy Birthday.
Chapter 15 Happy Birthday.
Xie Linjun was taken out by the auntie of the nurse with the reason that "the mother and the son have something to say, you can buy something with the auntie", only Jiang Luhe was left in the ward lying on the hospital bed, trying to isolate everything with his eyes closed mother.
Jiang Lu also closed his eyes.
The mild sunlight came in from the window and just stopped at his feet.
Most of the time, as long as he closes his eyes, he can recall what happened that year, like a revolving lantern, before his eyes one after another, screaming hysterically in countless late nights.
Vendetta, kidnapping, and mother's heart-piercing wailing. Jiang Lu was only 14 years old at that time, and he could only watch his grandparents being shot to death. The two elderly people had tears in their eyes, as if they were telling their love story. Unwilling.
Such two pairs of eyes often appeared in Jiang Lu's dreams, and in the end, they turned into his mother's eyes filled with hatred.
He opened his eyes, and his eyes refocused on the hospital bed. He raised his hand and gently held his mother's hand, and saw her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The palms are dry and warm, but the light only reaches the feet but never shines in.
"Why did you do this to me?" Jiang Lu's voice was very low, as if he was muttering to himself, but the wind carried his voice to his mother's ear, and it was amplified infinitely along with the sound of the stretcher wheel being pulled in the hospital. "You know it's not my fault."
No one answered him.
About two or three minutes later, the person on the hospital bed opened his eyes and looked straight at Jiang Lu. The crazy hatred from before suddenly disappeared in the dark eyes, and there was no longer any sense of sarcasm. She just looked at him quietly like this, and Jiang Lu also looked at her.
Finally, she smiled suddenly, and the corners of her mouth pulled up in an ugly arc. The golden sunlight finally moved forward an inch, and landed on Jiang Lu's toes.
Xie Linjun was squatting outside the door, Jiang Lu opened the door and saw him at a glance, without much communication, Xie Linjun stood up, Jiang Lu walked outside, paused for two steps, waited for Xie Linjun to come up and then continued to walk forward .
After leaving the hospital, the coldness that wrapped around his body was gradually blown away by the wind. Jiang Lu took a deep breath, patted his stomach, and said, "I'm hungry."
"...Ah." Xie Linjun was stunned for a moment, "Go and eat."
"Okay," Jiang Lu nodded, "Last time Yan Chifei took me to a delicious restaurant, I'll take you there."
Xie Linjun frowned, noncommittal, and stopped walking.
Jiang Lu was walking on his own, the wind was blowing so hard that people could barely open their eyes, but the wicker of the willow trees on the street floated up unhurriedly, and the wind carried the catkins to the distance. He turned his head and looked at Xie Linjun, "Go Bar."
Only then did Xie Linjun take a step forward, went not far away, unlocked the bicycle, and rode the bicycle to Jiang Lu.
Turning left and right along the street, I arrived at the fly restaurant that Jiang Lu mentioned. The tables, chairs and benches were all shiny with oil. A bowl of oil tea, and a bottle of soy milk!"
Xie Linjun waited for him to finish yelling before slowly walking over. There seemed to be a crack in his expression, but his expression returned to calm after sitting down.
"What do you eat?" Jiang Lu took out his phone from his pocket and asked while clicking on the game.
"Whatever." Xie Linjun said.
Jiang Lu glanced at him, got up and went to the counter to whisper something to the boss.Not long after, the things they ordered came out on a tray. Jiang Lu mixed the camellia with a spoon, and with the other hand, he took an ice cream from the tray and handed it to Xie Linjun, "Eat it."
Xie Linjun's expression froze for a moment.
This is the end of March, and there are still quick-frozen foods in the freezers of various canteens, or the small freezers have not been pushed out at all. Where did this ice cream come from?
His eyes fell on the packaging bag, with two large characters on it, Suibian.
Jiang Lu held a steamed bun, and seeing Xie Linjun's strange expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips for no reason, "Eat it."
Xie Linjun tore open the packaging bag, stood up suddenly, held Jiang Lu's head with one hand and his chin with the other, and stuffed the ice cream into his mouth.
"Fuck..." Jiang Lu was choked for a moment, and quickly came to his senses. He spit out the ice cream and took the wooden stick underneath and threw it at Xie Linjun. The latter immediately grabbed his wrist, imitating Jiang. With Lu's expression, eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth parted, "Don't you want to eat?"
"I choked on you, I feel sick to my stomach." Jiang Lu said.
"Then I'll eat." Xie Linjun said, but he didn't touch Jiang Lu's things. He called the boss to order the same thing as Jiang Lu's. The two of them sat on the small stools and finished eating while watching the oily table. meal.
After eating, he felt a little sleepy. Jiang Lu suggested that he should take Xie Linjun with him by bike. Xie Linjun naturally had no objection, and sat in the back seat calmly, feeling the softness of the wind blowing over his cheeks.
The drowsiness didn't subside when he got home. Jiang Lu opened the door and got into the bedroom to lie down. He opened one eye and looked at Xie Linjun who was standing at the door. "There is a guest room at home, so you can sleep in the living room."
"No need," Xie Linjun said, "I'll read a book in the living room."
"Oh." Jiang Lu closed his eyes and nodded.
"Well," Xie Linjun said, "Happy birthday."
"You're happy too." Jiang Lu said softly, turned over, pressed the quilt under his body, and slowly closed his eyes.
When I fell asleep, there was peace outside the window. The golden sun shone through the shadows of the trees and left light spots on the ground. After waking up, a heavy rain was brewing outside the window. The sky was dark, and the light was hidden behind the clouds, and the wind swept the raindrops As far as the ground, some rainwater came in from the open window and wet the window sill.
Jiang Lu was awakened by the heat.
There was an inexplicable hotness all over his body, and a rush of heat ran rampant in his body, and his mouth was dry for a while, and he woke up just like that.
"... Fuck." Jiang Lu squeezed the quilt, took a few deep breaths to suppress the hotness in his body, and his body seemed to be nothing happened, with no discomfort at all.
The wind outside the house became more and more violent, and the trees were blown down. Jiang Lu found a pack of cigarettes from the bedside, took one out, held it in his mouth, and lit it. Feeling that it was not enough, he simply took the pack of cigarettes. It was packed in a strange box, the cigarette box was torn open, and the cigarettes were arranged one by one, and lit with a lighter.
There was no light in the room, and the moment illuminated by the fire seemed to be the first firework that exploded in the night sky, and then the lingering smoke rose up, overshadowing the original smell in the room that made Jiang Lu's heart tremble.
Soon footsteps could be heard outside the door, Jiang Lu swallowed, and took two steps towards the window.
Xie Linjun pushed open the door, stood at the door, his expression was not so clear in the firelight, "Call."
"Ah," Jiang Lu took two steps forward, then paused, "Let's put it there."
"Auntie's." Xie Linjun added.
Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, clenched the hand hanging by his side unnaturally, and took a few steps to answer the phone.
The cigarette case in the cookie box was burning quietly, the smoke dissipated slowly as it twisted up to the roof, Xie Linjun took a deep breath, not capturing the smell of being covered.
"Hello?" Jiang Lu realized that his voice was a little hoarse, so he quickly cleared his throat, "Mom?"
"Lulu……"
Jiang Lu trembled a little when he heard her voice.
But his heart trembled more than her voice, tens of millions more.
Just because of that "Lulu."
Jiang Lu closed his eyes hard, "Mom."
"Today is your birthday, isn't it?" Mom seemed to be going upstairs, her voice panting a bit, "We are 16 years old, and Lulu has grown up."
"Yes... yes." Jiang Lu looked at Xie Linjun a little at a loss, his mouth was so dry that his tongue was about to break, and he could no longer utter a complete syllable.
"Happy birthday." After a long time, my mother said softly.
Jiang Lu opened his mouth and found that he couldn't make a sound.All the blood in the whole body flowed to the heart at the same time, and it was full in the chest cavity, and it was about to explode at the slightest touch.
"You're right, I know it's not your fault...I know it's not your fault, but I still treat you that way." Mom said, "Blame your father, if you and your grandparents were killed by him When the enemy kidnapped... it would be nice if he could pay, and they wouldn't die for protecting you, blame your father..."
It's not my fault.
Jiang Lu had said this sentence many times, and his mother never listened to it, but this time she smoothed out the sentence, smoothed out the truth, and told him as if to comfort herself.
Why did I suddenly realize it?
Is it because of your birthday?
Isn't that why I went to find my mother on my birthday?Don't you just hope that she can listen to what you say because today is your birthday?Transfer the hatred to the person who should go, and then forgive Jiang Lu for what he didn't do at all?
But Jiang Lu was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't stand still. He took two steps back and squatted down against the wall. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Linjun took two steps towards him, and stopped as if he was thinking about something. pace.
"You hate him too..." Mom's voice became much calmer, but Jiang Lu heard the wind from the other end, "His selfishness took everything from you, you want to hate him, remember? Che, your father, you have to hate him with me."
Jiang Lu unconsciously pressed his empty hand on his lips, opened his lips slightly, bit his little finger in his mouth, and bit his nails white from the pressure of his teeth, but the pain was too slow to be conveyed to his brain.
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became much quieter, as if the tail was blown away by the wind, crushed and stuffed into the throat.
"Mom—" Jiang Lu struggled to speak, but was interrupted.
"——Do you think I will forgive you?" The familiar sharp voice came from the other end of the phone again, mixed with the sound of electric current, it made Jiang Lu's brain ache, and the pain of being bitten on his fingertips was finally conveyed. , "I said so much, do you think I will forgive you? You want to hate Jiang Che with me, but I will not forgive you. If it weren't for you, my parents would never die! I don't have to be with Jiang Che Get married! Jiang Lu, you ruined my whole life... I will never forgive you even if I die! I hate you!"
Jiang Lu was almost out of breath.His hand holding the phone trembled more and more, his teeth left tooth marks on his fingers, and the blood cells condensed in his chest exploded one by one, making him tremble all over.Xie Linjun sensed something was wrong with him, and strode into the room.
"Happy birthday, Jiang Lu, remember this day," the phone was taken away, and her mother's voice seemed to come from far away, with frost and biting cold, "You will never get my forgiveness again gone."
Suddenly there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and even the sound of the wind could no longer be heard.
After a long time, suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
There was a bang, and there were screams from downstairs.
Jiang Lu stood up suddenly, opened the window, threw the phone out, and then climbed up with one leg on the window.
Xie Linjun's eyes widened, the accident happened unexpectedly, his voice changed, "Jiang Lu!"
