Chapter 35: The Boatman and You
Wen Chu had parents and older brothers and sisters, and his brother Wen Cheng was married in China, and he made a cashier in a small company when he was still in China. Sister Wenchu did not go to college, when she was studying with Wen Chu was a class, the family had no money, and could only afford her and one of Wen Chu's high schools, it stands to reason that Wen Chu was a child picked up by Wen's parents, but Wen Chu's grades were the first in the county at that time, Wen's parents decided to let Wen Chu continue to go to school, and Wen Chu ran away from home in anger and went out to work. Wen Chu apologized for this for many years, until he worked hard to be admitted to 211 University, and found his sister Wensu back in a few years away, and tried his best to make up for it.
These are all said by Mother Wen and Liu Nanfeng, Liu Nanfeng doesn't like to speak, most of them are Mother Wen talking, and he is listening. More than a year ago, when Wen Chu had an accident, Liu Nanfeng had already decided to take Wen's family to live in Washington, but at that time, Wen Cheng and his wife had just bought a house and were about to have children, and Wen Su also had a boyfriend.
Liu Nanfeng couldn't rest assured that Wen's parents were living in the United States, so he first helped Wen Cheng pay off the mortgage, and bought a villa building with convenient transportation near Washington Hospital for the Wen family to live in. No matter how much he does, he hopes that they will be better to Wen Chu, after all, it is impossible for him to take care of Wen Chu, and it is impossible for him to stay by Wen Chu's side all day long.
"Nanfeng, try my craft tonight. Wen Cheng came out of the kitchen with the soup pot, his wife Dai Fangrou smiled at Liu Nanfeng, and was about to walk into the kitchen with her big belly in her hand, Wen Cheng smiled softly and helped her out.
"It's been seven months. Liu Nanfeng sat opposite Dai Fangrou, Dai Fangrou looked down at her stomach, and responded with happiness on her face.
"The doctor said it was twins, and when the little sister woke up, I plan to take the child back to China, and it is better for the child to grow up in his own country, baby, do you say yes!" Dai Fangrou turned to the round belly and said.
"What about Wen Su?" Liu Nanfeng asked, what he was most worried about was Wen Su, if Wen Su came into contact with someone in the United States and became a chess piece in someone else's hand, it would be very unfavorable to him.
When Wen Su came back, Liu Nanfeng had just put down the bowl, Wen Cheng's craftsmanship was good, and he had been politely asking him to eat more and so on. Liu Nanfeng looked at her, her appearance was a little low, her face was a little blue, Wen's parents asked her, she just responded casually, and she didn't even care about Liu Nanfeng's arrival.
Wen's parents stayed, Liu Nanfeng was more paranoid about staying in a hotel, and drove a Lexus to the Cen Jiang Hotel, Liu Nanfeng deliberately drove the car slowly, confirming that the people who followed him would not get lost. Holding the room card to open the exclusive presidential suite, Kazama opened the door for him from the bedroom.
"Check the recent details of the paperwork, as well as the car that tracked me just now. Liu Nanfeng walked into the changing room, changed into casual clothes, and was calling his subordinates to do things, Kazama Zaoji saw him come out, immediately hung up the phone, and pushed the lamp on the bedside table hard, and the big bed slowly moved to the right, which was an elevator leading to the suite downstairs.
Standing on the elevator, Liu Nanfeng glanced at him uneasily.
"You sent four people from the United States to China to lurk near Jiang Xiaoyan, and this matter can only be known to Liao Chen in China, and cooperate with him to investigate his subordinates. Liu Nanfeng glanced at the black document bag on the bedside table, and he was always a little uneasy when he thought of Jiang Xiaoyan.
Watching the elevator rise to the top, Liu Nanfeng walked to the independent elevator, took the elevator all the way to the independent parking lot, and drove a low-luxury golden hub blue demon to leave. Kazama came out of the bathroom, wearing a black bathrobe, wearing a white mask, opened a bottle of red wine, and sat down to drink.
In the psychiatric hospital, a man and a woman in white coats were waiting silently in the office, and Luzy opened the door a few seconds after Liu Nanfeng raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Luzy, Ailyes is sorry to make you wait until the evening every time, how is she doing now?" Liu Nanfeng spoke to them in English, sat down on the sofa by himself, and Ailyes poured him a glass of warm water.
"It's better than before, although she is excited every time you see you, but there is no need for sedation. After hearing this, Liu Nanfeng immediately stood up, and he couldn't wait to see the girl.
It was already dark, and when passing by the building of the White Psychiatric Hospital, you could still hear the sound of the mentally ill talking to themselves, singing loudly, smashing the wall and knocking on the bed.
But Liu Nanfeng didn't think so, he had also locked himself in the room for a whole year, and he was no different from them in the ward now. He once read a sentence that excessive paranoia leads to self-transcendence and becoming a madman in the eyes of people, and he agrees with this sentence, but he can't be sure of it, because this is not the only way to become a madman.
Jian Chen's paranoid love for his sister led to the splitting of two personalities, one is to pursue love almost madly for love, and the other is to abandon love for love like cutting off his arm and flesh. But going back to the time when Jian Chen was 18 years old, he witnessed the corpses of his parents being crushed into pieces, and when he was 21 years old, he witnessed 17-year-old Jian Ai being injured by 7 men, plus killing 9 people with his own hands before and after, it may be said that Jian Chen can no longer be saved.
But Liu Nanfeng still has hope, even if for Jian Chen, Jian Ai has been dead for 4 years, he still has hope.
Passing through the deep dark secluded forest path, the howl behind him can no longer be heard, and a European-style pastoral house with warm yellow lights and a white fence slowly appears in front of me, stepping on the gravel road, the street lamp reflects the blooming little jasmine, the jasmine is fragrant, and the foot of the white fence is full of small daisies, extending to a small sunflower. The lacquered red wooden rocking chair lies quietly where the first moment of the rising sun can shine, and the rusty single swing stands quietly where the last moment of the sunset can shine, these were placed by Liu Nanfeng himself four years ago, and even now, he can remember the scene at that time.
Four years ago, when Jane Eyre was still 17 years old, seven principals of the Education Bureau's Beast Union High School injured four female students, including Jane Eyre, at a speakeasy. Liu Nanfeng was not at ease at that time, and when he entered the bedroom, he met Jane Eyre, who was about to jump off the building, Liu Nanfeng rescued her and arranged for her to go to Washington, D.C., to build this room, Jane Eyre's exclusive ward.
"Xiao Ai, I brought you some seeds of Luoyang flowers and Gesang flowers, and I will ...... another day"
Before he finished speaking, the stainless steel cup and the cold water in the cup smashed directly on Liu Nanfeng's face, Ailyes and luzy were about to step forward with the syringe, Jane Eyre's face suddenly turned pale and burst into tears, and she stumbled to the corner of the wall and shrank and shrunk back, her mouth reading "Don't, don't ......"
Liu Nanfeng sighed, stopped the two white coat doctors who looked extremely eerie, and after the doctor left, Liu Nanfeng dragged a chair and sat down with his back to Jian Ai, took off the golden mask to wipe the cold water on his face, and let the pillows, quilts, and books fall behind him......
"Why don't you let me die, why don't you let me die, why don't you let me die, why ......"
Liu Nanfeng also asked himself, why didn't he let such a sad child die in the first place? What is the point of letting her live in the world? Even Jiang Xiaoyan, who is in his early 20s, can say that if life is a sea of misery, it is not a relief for the boat family who did not cross his own to die. But how could he watch a girl choose to die before his eyes?
He once missed the life of a girl, and he had decided to torture himself with a lifetime of guilt, to cover himself with a mask, to watch him watch another girl choose to die again in front of his eyes, he couldn't do it.
"The girl I like chooses to die when she is 18 years old, when you choose to die back then, she is 17 years old, and the woman I hate so much now chooses to die when she is 20 years old. But Xiaoai, you don't understand, even if it's someone I hate, I don't want her to die, I can't bear death anymore, my guilt is only enough to be handed over to a girl in this life. How will the person lying in the tombstone know how much the person who sits by the tombstone from dawn to dark, and from dark to dawn, loves her and feels guilty about her. ”
"In the cemetery, there is also your Jane Eyre's tombstone, have you ever thought about the heartache of Jian Chen sitting next to the tombstone and crying bitterly, Jian Chen is for you, is a brother, a lover, and the only support after losing everything, then have you ever thought about what kind of existence you are for Jian Chen?"
"The woman I hate said that life is a sea of misery, and if there is no boat to cross her, it is also a relief to die, and she chooses to die because she has not found a boat home to cross her. But Xiao Ai, Jian Chen, the boatman, waited for you at the head of the bridge for four years, the wind dried his face, the rain wet his eyes, the ice and snow pierced his skin, the thunder and lightning crushed his heart, you are still so cowardly huddled in a corner half a world away from him and asked a poor man who scraped the body of his beloved from the wall with his own hands at the age of 19 Why didn't you let you die, Jane Eyre, how can you bear it?"
Liu Nanfeng got up, his body trembled, his lips turned pale, he didn't look at Jane Eyre again, opened the bedroom door, and closed the bedroom door again. Ailyes and Luzy saw that something was wrong with him and wanted to step forward to support him, but they saw Liu Nanfeng wave his hand and walked towards the guest room that had never been opened.
"Send me two buckets of white and a bucket of brown paint tomorrow, and I'll stay here tonight. Pushing open the door of the guest room, Ailyes and Luzy were very puzzled behind him, Liu Nanfeng stayed here for the first time in four years, this Jane Eyre was originally made by men to become like this, will Liu Nanfeng's stay be psychologically stimulating and harmful to Jane Eyre? But if Liu Nanfeng insisted, they had no way to persuade him to leave.
Liu Nanfeng sat on the edge of the bed, took off his mask, took a deep breath to calm himself down a little, he had scolded, yelled, and flattered Jane Eyre over the years, but he was a stranger to Jane Eyre, even in the past four years, he had come to see her very few times, three times a year, and one or two more business trips, he knew that no matter how many times he came, it was useless.
