When Lu Ying took the food down, Granny Luo was no longer in the living room, and she didn't see Zhuo Yang, only Xiaoyan sat behind the counter alone and wiped her tears silently. Hearing Lu Yingyi's footsteps, she raised her head, opened her two red eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "Just leave the rice bowl on the table, I will clean it." ”

Lu Yingyi hesitated, but still asked, "Are you okay?"

Xiaoyan wiped her tears awkwardly and said, "No, it's okay, I just got smoked by oil smoke." ”

Lu Ying didn't force her when she saw that she didn't want to speak, and said, "Then I'll go up, you call me if there's something." ”

Xiaoyan said, "Yes. ”

As soon as Lu Ying was halfway through, he heard Xiaoyan shouting, "Mr. Lu!"

Lu Ying shook the ground as soon as he got right, and walked back again and said, "What?"

Xiaoyan seemed to be extremely embarrassed, and after a while, he said in a voice like a mosquito: "Can you sit with me here for a while, Zhuo Yang went out to buy vegetables, and I was alone...... One person ......"

Lu Yingyi took the chair next to the window and sat down and said, "It's boring up there, I'll sit here casually, you go and get busy with yours." ”

Xiaoyan glanced at him gratefully, took the dishes and went in to wash them. Lu Ying looked out the window, the movement of the excavator became bigger and bigger, and an old-fashioned factory not far away trembled under the impact of the hammer, and finally a wall was broken, and in the chaos, the bricks and tiles fell, and the reinforced concrete with traces of time slowly fell, like an outdated hero.

No wonder this neighborhood is so desolate, it seems that the surrounding land has been bought, and it is a posture to be moved. Lu Ying thought about it, will this rose garden, this family hotel also soon become a memory forgotten in history, leaving no trace? Suddenly, with a loud bang, the entire manor jumped violently.

Lu Yingyi didn't sit well, he was shocked by this, and almost fell to the ground, he quickly got up and looked outside, at first he saw a cloud of smoke billowing out, like a sandstorm, after a while, the smoke and dust disappeared, only to see a huge hammer parked in the courtyard of Rose Villa, and the originally intact brick wall has been broken a gap. The hammer smashed the flowers and plants, and broke a water pipe, causing tap water to shoot everywhere, and soon the yard became a muddy "swamp".

Xiaoyan rushed out from inside and said, "Mr. Lu, what's the ......matter?"

She saw the scene outside through the glass window, and her face suddenly changed: "What...... How could it be ......"

Lu Yingyi was about to say something, but when he heard a dull "bang" behind him, Xiaoyan turned around suddenly: "Grandma!" It was Granny Luo who appeared at some point and fell to the ground from her wheelchair. Lu Ying glanced at the outside quickly, then decisively picked up the phone and dialed 120, and soon, an ambulance came and sent Granny Luo to the hospital.

"The patient's condition is not optimistic, she already had a history of small stroke, this time she was frightened and fell, resulting in a recurrence of the small stroke and a broken leg bone, plus the old age...... "Your family had better be mentally prepared, the hospital will try its best to treat it, but in the end, whether she can get better, what kind of recovery depends on herself." ”

Xiaoyan's tears welled up on the spot, and she sat on the ground crying suppressedly, covering her mouth, as if she was afraid of disturbing others.

Lu Ying looked at her, and suddenly felt as if he had gone back many years ago, when he saw himself sitting in the hospital crying uncontrollably, but tears could neither correct mistakes, undo mistakes, nor keep the person who was about to leave.

Someone patted him on the shoulder, Lu Ying woke up suddenly, and when he turned around, he saw Zhuo Yang who was panting, he was full of heat, and he came from nowhere, and the whole person exuded a vigorous vitality that could not be concealed, like a sharp unsheathed sword. Lu Ying was shocked by such Zhuo Yang, and was a little distracted for a while.

Zhuo Yang had to ask again: "How is the situation?"

Xiaoyan raised her head when she heard Zhuo Yang's voice, and finally cried "wow" and threw herself into his arms.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Yingyi sat in the ward with Zhuo Yang and Xiaoyan. Granny Luo is not completely out of danger of life, and is now lying quietly on the bed wearing an oxygen mask. Due to her advanced age and weak constitution, the doctor did not dare to use a large knife on her, and also took conservative treatment for the fracture. She lay silently like this, barely angry except for the electrocardiogram that beat from time to time.

Xiaoyan raised his head and said, "Ah Yang, Mr. Lu, thank you for your help today, it's enough for me here, you go back to sleep." ”

Zhuo Yang said: "I will stay with you." ”

Xiaoyan smiled reluctantly and said, "The store can't be left unattended, otherwise...... Otherwise I don't know what he's going to do!"

Zhuo Yang's face changed, and he said later: "Okay, then you should be more careful, and I will bring you breakfast early tomorrow morning." He said to Lu Yingyi, "Mr. Lu, let's go." ”

Lu Yingyi stood up, glanced at Granny Luo again, and then left the hospital with Zhuo Yang.

The weather is already very warm, and the evening breeze still carries the humid smell of late spring, but the summer flowers in the green belt on the roadside are already quietly gorgeous. Lu Yingyi followed behind Zhuo Yang, walking aimlessly through this bustling city. The brightly dressed men and women around him came and went in a hurry, and everyone seemed to have a destination, only he was a rootless duckweed, with no purpose and no burden.

Lu Yingyi came with the ambulance, and he didn't know how to go back, Zhuo Yang took him across the overpass, he crossed the overpass, took him down the tunnel, he went down the tunnel, silent, very cooperative. After walking for a while, the two arrived at a bus stop, the last train stopped at the safety island, Zhuo Yang went up, bought two tickets, and walked to the last row and sat down.

Lu Yingyi followed and sat down beside him. There were very few people on the last train, and they were all sparsely spread out in the carriages, all of them looking listless. When the car started, Zhuo Yang suddenly said, "The one who came during the day is Granny Luo's grandson." ”

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhuo Yang was talking to him, and he said, "Oh." ”

Zhuo Yang said: "Granny Luo's husband died early, and her son and daughter-in-law also died together in an accident. ”

Lu Ying thought to herself, pulling her grandson up, what about Xiaoyan?

Zhuo Yang seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, "Xiaoyan...... Xiaoyan may be Granny Luo's granddaughter. ”

"Possibly?"

Zhuo Yang said: "The wind is cool at night, you will get sick if you blow like this." He reached out and closed the window on the side.

Lu Yingyi: "......" thought to myself, can you change the topic more naturally.

Zhuo Yang continued: "Granny Luo's granddaughter was lost when she was a child, Xiaoyan came to the door by herself in the first half of last year, and she has not been naturalized yet. ”

Lu Yingyi had a little eyebrow in her heart, no wonder Xiaoyan was so afraid of Granny Luo's grandson.

Zhuo Yang said again: "Granny Luo's grandson wanted to sell the hotel, but Granny Luo refused. ”

"Why?"

"Memorial. Zhuo Yang glanced at Lu Ying and said, "That hotel is the last memento left to her by Granny Luo's husband, she has lived there since she got married, it has been more than seventy years, and for her, the storage of the hotel is more important than anything else." ”

Lu Yingyi said: "Is there no other way? With all due respect, I think that grandson just wants money, so don't you get some money for him." ”

Zhuo Yang exhaled softly: "That kid gambles and owes usury, and if he wants to repay millions, Granny Luo's savings have been given to him, and only this hotel is left." ”

Lu Ying was silent, this is a difficult problem to solve, the hotel belongs to Granny Luo, the grandson is also Granny Luo's, and there is a small cigarette, how to choose them in the end, no matter how anxious these others can't help. It's just that Lu Yingyi, who can use violent means against his grandmother and is good at gambling, hates it very much.

After getting off the bus, the two walked for a while and returned to Rose Villa. The whole hotel was pitch black, and the water mains that had been broken in the afternoon had been repaired, but the floor was still muddy. The rose that had died in advance had fallen petals, and a huge iron ball had stopped on the ground, almost like a monstrous monster at night.

Zhuo Yang opened the door and went in and lit the light in the living room. He said, "Are you hungry or not, I'll make you something to eat." ”

In order to guard Granny Luo, none of them bothered to eat, only Xiaoyan ate a little bread under Zhuo Yang's forcible persuasion. Lu Yingyi said: "Okay, just get something." ”

Zhuo Yang washed his hands and was about to open the refrigerator, when suddenly the phone rang, he couldn't let go of his hands, and said, "Mr. Lu, please help me answer the phone." ”

As soon as Lu Ying picked up the phone, she said "Hey", her face changed, she said a few words, and after a while, she hung up the phone.

Lu Yingyi said: "Zhuo Yang, have you ever heard of a lawyer named Zheng Zhi?"

Zhuo Yang was cutting green onions around his apron, intending to cook two bowls of noodles, and raised his head suspiciously when he heard this: "Zheng Zhi? ”

Lu Yingyi said: "He said that he was entrusted by Granny Luo half a year ago and had witnessed a will for her, and he now asks you and Xiaoyan to go over together tomorrow to open the will together." ”
