Chapter 16 When the world falls from the sky.

Almost in an instant, the moment Jiang Lu leaned forward, Xie Linjun grabbed his arm, pulled him into his arms, and sat down on the ground. He hugged Jiang Lu with all his strength. He subconsciously tightened his grip until Jiang Lu's bones creaked before he stopped, but he never let go.

Thunderstorms outside the house overwhelmed Xie Linjun's heartbeat that accelerated due to panic. When Jiang Lu leaned forward, it seemed as if a pair of invisible big hands grabbed his heart and pulled it back forcefully. The pain was so painful that he couldn't speak.

Jiang Lu's body trembled uncontrollably. He bit his lips hard until his mouth was filled with the smell of rust. It seemed that a piece of flesh on his lower lip was about to be bitten off. The chill ran from his toes to his scalp, which was close to his chest It was warm, and he couldn't help but rub against the heat source, but he couldn't move at all - Xie Linjun hugged Jiang Lu almost with all his strength.

They were silent, letting in countless raindrops from the opened windows, and the wind picked up fallen leaves from nowhere and fell into the room, and also blew out the almost burnt cigarette case in the cookie box in the house, leaving ashes It was blown flying all over the sky, and finally a piece fell to them.

The cell phone in his pocket rang again and again, until Xie Linjun finally couldn't help but want to take it out and throw it out of the window, he glanced at the caller, hesitated for a few seconds and picked it up, "Hello? Mom? "

"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone?" Ran Qiuyu's voice sounded a little impatient.

"Library, mute your phone." Xie Linjun pressed Jiang Lu's shoulder with one hand.

"Oh... your Aunt Lin... is dead," Ran Qiuyu paused after she finished speaking, Xie Linjun heard her speak again with a nasal sound, "Do you have Jiang Lu's phone number? Tell him to come to the hospital , his mother is dead, so he must come here."

It was as if Jiang Lu never visited his mother.

Xie Linjun responded, hung up the phone and threw the phone aside, still hugging Jiang Lu tightly.

It was raining heavily outside the house, as if the world was falling from the sky, the earth was falling, and the thunder was so loud that he could only hear his heartbeat.

He clearly hugged Jiang Lu, and could feel his normal body temperature and the faint scent of pus, but he still couldn't grasp Jiang Lu, he felt that something was draining from them quickly.

"Is she dead?" Jiang Lu asked.

"Well, do you want to go to the hospital?" Xie Linjun raised his hand and lightly pressed on the back of Jiang Lu's head, as if he was getting closer to him, leaving no gap.

"Yeah." Jiang Lu didn't move, "Go."

Xie Linjun nodded, pulled Jiang Lu up, looked at the weather outside the window, and said, "Bring another coat?"

Jiang Lu followed Xie Linjun's line of sight and looked out of the window just now. The endless dark clouds covered the sky, throwing away countless raindrops until they shattered, and there was another thunder in the cloud layer. He came back to his senses and looked at Xie Linjun without a single tear in his eyes, good."

Ran Qiuyu organized Jiang Lu's mother's funeral.

The only ones who went were the nurse, Xie Linjun and Ran Qiuyu, plus Jiang Lu and a secretary that Jiang Che called over to replace him.

Since then, she has been buried in the ground forever. No matter how bitter the world is, no matter how much resentment there is, it has nothing to do with her.

Like dark clouds throwing rain, she threw all her hatred to Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu and Xie Linjun stood side by side, and Ran Qiuyu was talking with the people in the cemetery, but the nurse covered his face and wept, as if he had lost the most precious thing in the world, crying so hard that he couldn't live without it.

Jiang Lu didn't shed a single tear from the beginning to the end. He was like a bystander who had unloaded his burden. From the beginning of the funeral, his face was expressionless, and he didn't even frown.

Xie Linjun looked at him sideways, "If you want to cry—"

"My mother is crazy," Jiang Lu's voice was calm and restrained, his eyes fell not far away, and his pupils were scattered when he looked carefully, "Since more than a year ago, that group of people killed grandpa and grandma in front of her." From the start, she was crazy."

Xie Linjun was stunned for a moment, but did not speak.

"Jiang Che's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has offended many people. They kidnapped me, my grandparents, and my mother. As long as Jiang Che pays and gives up the land he bid for, the three of us can be rescued, but he didn't." As Jiang Lu said, he leaned towards Xie Linjun unconsciously, "He contacted the police directly, and when the police broke in, the group of desperadoes also went crazy, they shot with guns, and grandpa and grandma stood in front of me... ..."

Jiang Lu couldn't continue.

After the two old men fell down, Jiang Lu met his mother's shocked eyes, and then the hatred that burst from the eyes made Jiang Lu understand her thoughts in an instant.

Why didn't you die?

Why wasn't you the one blocking the gun?

"She hates me," Jiang Lu swallowed, trying to swallow the sore feeling in his throat, "but I'm also her family."

Xie Linjun raised his hand and patted Jiang Lu on the shoulder.

"Is it my fault?" Jiang Lu's eyes finally refocused to one point, and fell on Xie Linjun, it didn't look like he was looking at Xie Linjun, "Is it my fault?"

"No." Xie Linjun raised his arms, hugged him into his arms, and patted him on the back.

Jiang Lu didn't cry, but when Xie Linjun hugged him, his whole body trembled, and he quickly bit his lip and endured it.

They were also wearing black clothes, embracing each other, as if they had become one.

Ran Qiuyu inadvertently glanced at the two people standing together, and frowned after being taken aback.

After the funeral, Jiang Lu took a taxi back home.Just as Xie Linjun was about to see him off, his breath stopped when his gaze caught sight of Ran Qiuyu's expression, and his footsteps stopped there.

There are still traces of dark clouds in the sky, light seeps faintly from behind the clouds, and the storm is far from over.

The air in the utility room is never circulated.

Jiang Lu took off his coat and threw it aside. He was only wearing a black short sleeve underneath. His arms were covered with bandages. Most of them were soaked by the sudden rain when he came back. He sat down on the chair with no expression on his face. On, slowly removed the bandage.

Putting it down one by one, the smell of the potion became more and more intense, and the tingling and tearing sensation came together, until the blood-stained gauze was completely removed, revealing not deep, but many glaring wounds.

After removing the gauze of the left hand, he took off the gauze of the right hand. The wound on the arm was newly inflicted, and it was pulled in one place because of the rough movement when removing it. Jiang Lu took a breath, calmed down immediately, and threw the gauze away. Move to the side, with your hands hanging by your sides, and only at this moment can you feel the relaxation of your soul.

Jiang Lu wanted to cry, but the tears couldn't well up in his eyes, so he shrank back, An Xin shrank in his tear ducts like a defeated one.

Life and death are the most common things in this world, they happen every moment, and every moment people fall into emotional fluctuations because of this incident—Jiang Lu does not have such fluctuations.

After answering his mother's phone call, he had the urge to commit suicide, but that urge subsided after being pulled back by Xie Linjun.All the strength in his body was sucked away, leaving an empty skin. He was still alive, but he didn't know if he was really alive. Head wind dragged into hell.

He swallowed, wanted to growl, smash things, and vent all the excess energy in his body, but he couldn't.

He could only sit there quietly, emptied his mind, and all his actions were instinctive.

"You left me too."

Looking at the cobwebs in the corner of the utility room, Jiang Lu said softly.

Jiang Lu took a week off.

Every day, Xie Linjun would ride his bicycle downstairs to wait for him, put his breakfast at the door, and would not leave until he was late. Jiang Lu sat by the window and watched Xie Linjun leave by bicycle.

After school, Xie Linjun came again. He put down his bento box at the door without knocking. After going downstairs, he leaned on his bicycle and read a book. From time to time, he glanced in the direction of Jiang Lu's house. go.

It was like this every day, if there was a day when the bento box was not finished and put out of the door again, Xie Linjun would knock on the door until Jiang Lu opened the door to prove that he was still alive.

The sun was just right that day, neither scorching nor dazzling, Jiang Lu lit a cigarette, opened the door and went out, went downstairs, and said hello to Xie Linjun who was guarding outside.

Jiang Lu was only wearing a short sleeve. The wounds on his arm were in the process of shedding scabs, leaving many white marks. There was a striking scar on his left wrist with maroon scabs. Squatting next to Xie Linjun's bicycle, after smoking a cigarette, he said softly, "TV dramas are all lies."

Xie Linjun looked down at him, his eyes slipped inch by inch from the wound on his arm, the healed and unhealed wounds pierced into his eyes.

"Cutting one's wrists won't kill a person at all." Jiang Lu extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground and gently twisted it with his fingertips.

"Well," Xie Linjun said, "I can't die."

"Try it out." Jiang Lu squeezed the filter tip flat, and had nothing more to say.

Xie Linjun hesitated for a while, threw the book into the basket in front of the car, squatted down next to Jiang Lu, and smelled his pleasant fragrance again, "Have you ever cried?"

"No." Jiang Lu shook his head, "I can't cry."

Instead, the overwhelming confusion permeated every cell in his body.

What to do next?What should I do after my mother dies?In the past, I lived all the time to get my mother's forgiveness, but now?What is he living for?

But he has to live.

After cutting off the wound on his wrist, he regained consciousness and stopped the bleeding.

This life was saved by his grandparents, so he couldn't just lose it like this.

What's next?

Everyone doesn't want him anymore.

Jiang Lu raised his hand and rubbed his dry eyes, wanting to say something, turned his head to the side and just opened his mouth, and met Xie Linjun's eyes. There was not much emotion that came over him, and he was the only one reflected in his pupils from the beginning to the end. human eye.

"Whether she forgives you or not," Xie Linjun said, "it's not your fault."

"But……"

"No but," Xie Linjun looked at him, "You know this matter is beyond your control." Auntie transferred her hatred of Jiang Che to you, and you just cooperated with her performance and felt guilty and guilty. Why? Ask her to forgive?She should have apologized.

Xie Linjun didn't finish the rest of the sentence, and Jiang Lu couldn't pick up the words either.

He just hopes that his mother can be like before, and hope that after his mother forgives him for his non-existing faults, he will return to the previous state.

No one thought that this matter was a dead end from the very beginning, maybe it did, but Jiang Lu didn't want to admit that his home was ruined, starting with Jiang Che's business getting bigger and bigger.

The sadness of so many days surged up all at once, Jiang Lu shrank his shoulders, his eyes suddenly turned red, as if he had returned to the moment when he received a call from his mother, all the cells in his body exploded in the chest cavity, shaking his internal organs It hurts.

Xie Linjun was stunned, he pursed his lips tightly, and looked away.

Jiang Lu buried his face on his knees, rubbed hard twice before he stopped moving, tears fell one by one, his nasal cavity was blocked because of the tears, he could only open his mouth and take a big breath, the air he inhaled There was a hoarse growl or two as it poured into the throat, like the helpless panting of a beast trapped in the dark

"...Xie Linjun, I... I don't have a mother anymore." After Jiang Lu said this, the cries that were stuck in his throat were completely vented, and all the despair and powerlessness were mixed together and turned into tears from the sockets of his eyes flow out.

Xie Linjun didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand and patted his head, keeping his eyes on the front.
