1. Chapter 1
In 2015.
Korea.
"It is reported that the latest news came this morning about the car accident of BIGBANG member Seung Li, who has been attracting much attention from the public. The official said: After treatment, Shengli has been out of danger of life, but he is still in a deep coma due to head injury. In order to avoid related disturbances, his family has secretly transferred him to the hospital for all-round rehabilitation, and we wish Shengli a safe turn and a speedy awakening."
The background music gradually expands.
The 14-inch old TV set was filled with BIGBANG's latest song "iYou". The melancholy and gentle melody slowly flowed through the small room, and the man standing by the pool, dressed in shabby shorts, brushed his teeth and hummed to the melody indistinctly
After rinsing his mouth, he looked up at himself in the mirror, reached out and stroked his messy hair a few times, turned on the faucet, put his head under the water column, grabbed a piece of soap and applied it casually, and then wiped his wet hair and walked back to the small, messy room.
The yellow floor is uneven and mottled, and there are domestic garbage scattered everywhere in less than ten square meters. Sour trousers, shorts, and torn shirts and T-shirts were attached to the bed from the floor, the sheets crumpled and unrecognizable, and a few flies fluttering and hovering on the quilt for some unknown purpose.
"Seoul~" The wooden door was pushed open, and an old woman with a hooked back walked in tremblingly, placing the aluminum pot in her hand on the small square table in the center of the ground. She looked at the man next to her, the corners of her mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end she only dropped a sentence: "Eat!" Then he went out slowly with his back hooked.
The man looked at her weak back, and moved his gaze to the square table with an expressionless face, looking at the steaming but unappetizing white noodles inside, his eyebrows couldn't help but twist, it was an expression of disgust.
"Li Hancheng!"
"Ah, Lee Han-seong! Come down and help! ”
I don't know how many times it was called, but the man who was in a daze reacted, it was the voice that called him. He put down his chopsticks, walked quickly through the narrow stairwell, glanced at the door, and quietly moved the cabbage piled on the floor into the restaurant on the first floor.
The old woman followed him and said, "I'll make it slowly, you can go upstairs and eat the noodles." ”
"I've eaten it."
"Hey, a young man with empty and strong strength, who don't call him?" The middle-aged woman standing at the door said in a loud voice: "You, you are Fubo!" It's clear that you're at an age where you should be happy, but you still have to worry about your grandson, when will this be a head! ”
"That's good, it's nothing to worry about snacks, and having Seoul with me is also a companion."
"Let's go." Li Hancheng said to the woman at the door with three cabbages in his hand. The woman turned to the side and looked at him in a little surprise, as he carried the cabbage back and forth, not paying attention to the other person's scrutiny.
The midsummer sun hit his bare shoulders, and a few new purple wounds stood out on his lean waist. A pair of fat, large shorts crumpled into his waist, and at his feet was a pair of faded flip-flops, still as sloppy as ever, just
"Li Hancheng?" The woman shifted her scrutinizing gaze to his wooden face, "You really don't know me anymore?" ”
Li Hancheng paused, his dark pupils hid behind his wet hair, stopped for two seconds, and shook his head.
"What a strange thing!" The woman wondered, "I grew up watching you, huh?" Say forget jì and forget jì? "Besides, isn't this kid usually so quiet?
"Don't talk about you, even I, the grandmother who raised him, have been completely forgotten."
The woman glared in surprise, "Oh, he doesn't even recognize you?" Everyone says that Seoul has changed, but it's true! ”
The old woman found a chair and sat down slowly, and sighed, "Yes, who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse!" ”
The two women sighed together, Li Hancheng finished moving the cabbage, took out a glass of water from the kitchen, took out the medicine bottle from the counter, and put it in front of the old woman: "Grandma, it's time to take medicine." After saying that, he went to the door and sat in the sun.
The woman stared at him for a few seconds, then pointed to her head as if surprised, lowered her voice and said, "I think he seems to be very conscious, is he cured?" ”
She tactfully uses the word "sick" to circumvent that sensitive word.
Actually, no one in these ten streets and nine alleys doesn't know that Li Hancheng is a fool!
To say that Li Hancheng is also quite pitiful. It is said that when he was one year old, he developed a fever and because of the lack of timely treatment, he suffered from pediatric meningitis and was not able to speak fluently until he was four years old. His physical development is fairly normal, but his intelligence is always a big chunk slower than his peers.
His poor family was made worse by his illness. Finally, the quarrelsome parents divorced him when he was ten years old. It's just that both of them are afraid of being dragged down, and no one wants this child, so they push it around and leave it to grandma. Since then, Lee Han-seong has taken root in this crowded alley in Yeongdeungpo, barely finished his national elementary school and dropped out of school, and ran this high-quality and inexpensive soup restaurant with his grandmother, and worked for more than ten years.
The neighbors felt sorry for the poor grandparents and grandchildren, and they also took care of them. However, almost no one has ever met Lee Han-seong's father. As soon as the disappeared son was mentioned, the grandmother only sighed, and after a long time, everyone stopped asking.
The peers around me go to school, go to work, start a family, and live in a proper manner. However, Li Hancheng is unfettered, wandering around the streets and alleys all day long like a wild bird, and he can be regarded as growing up "carefree" for 25 years. So, he grew up watching the neighborhood. Although he is intellectually incomplete, many people like his simple energy, he speaks headlessly, he is very kind to everyone he meets, and he is stupid and has no temper. Whoever has a job, he is always very enthusiastic to help, and a word of thanks from others will make him at a loss and flattered. Of course, there are also people who hate him, look down on him, and like to look for a different kind of existence in him.
But no matter what, in these sympathetic and disdainful eyes, Li Hancheng still grew up heartlessly.
If it weren't for the fact that he used a shovel to drive a few thugs who often bullied him all over the street yesterday, you might not know that this fool has a temper!
It can also be said that because of an accident, his whole person has changed.
That night, Li Hancheng did not return all night. The next day the police came to inform his grandmother that he had an accident and was being treated in the hospital.
When his grandmother rushed over in a hurry, Li Hancheng didn't remember anything, he didn't remember how his arm was burned, he didn't remember what happened to him, and he didn't even remember his grandmother who depended on him for his life.
Grandma called his name over and over again, looked at his injuries, confirmed that he was the grandson he had supported for more than twenty years, and took him home. Anyway, it's a fool, so what does it matter if you remember it or not!
It's just that since then, she has found that her grandson is behaving strangely and is becoming more and more strange
Li Hancheng became silent, he often sat at the door in a daze, quietly watching people come and go, and sat all day. When someone greeted him, he was stunned and nodded stiffly, instead of laughing at people as before. After about a week, he gradually calmed down, and laughed silly again. Until yesterday, I don't know what those little bastards said, he suddenly picked up a shovel and chased after him, fortunately he was pulled by the neighbor in time, otherwise he would have to fight hard to see that posture.
Grandma had palpitations, she had never seen such an abnormal side of her grandson, so she was so frightened that she turned out the heart medicine again and took several pills in a row.
Xu knew that he had made a mistake, and today he became extremely silent again.
What happened to Lee Han-seong?
In fact, he was thinking about it too!
When I woke up, I had a few burns on my body and was surrounded by strangers. What's his name? Where is the family? I don't know! He waited in trepidation, and an old lady over half a hundred years old appeared, claiming to be her grandson, but he didn't know her at all!
It's weird!
It's just that looking at her anxious and distressed appearance, it doesn't look like she's pretending.
He went home with her suspiciously.
The surroundings were all unfamiliar, and he couldn't remember the place where he had lived for more than 20 years, and he had no clue and was very unaccustomed to it. Grandma said he had a condition called amnesia. This illness made him forget everything, but in his heart, he couldn't adapt to it and didn't want to accept it. The dirty and messy living environment, unappetizing eating habits, the grandmother who depends on each other, and those pitying and contemptuous eyes all make him reject and inexplicably anxious.
These days, he keeps thinking about it, imagining how he grew up in this environment. The answer is unknown. However, from the words of others, he believed that he was Li Hancheng -- forcing himself to accept it, but he did not agree that he was a fool.
Amnesia does not mean loss of thinking, the meaning of a fool, he knows. In fact, he saw the strange eyes cast on him, and he believed that no fool would be willing to admit that he was a fool after clarifying these definitions!
However, no one sued him for this qiē why? What's going on? He thought in a chaotic way for more than ten days, but he still couldn't get out of this dream-like unreal and disliked life. Like a newborn born who fell into the toilet, he tried to struggle, deny, and find out his situation, but people told him with attitude: this is where he was born and raised, he is a fool, he has no parents, no education, no skills, he is poor, and he lives in this terrible and messy hodgepodge from beginning to end, his name is Li Hancheng!
What an unfamiliar name!
Strange streets, strange people come and go
At this time, an electric car spraying a certain express stopped in front of him, and the uncle in the car asked: "Little brother, how to get to the Fengcai grocery store?" ”
He was stunned and shook his head. The neighbor next to him answered: "Go to the head and turn right, you can see it about fifty meters." ”
The uncle thanked him and rode away. Li Hancheng stared at the direction where he disappeared in a daze, and heard the sigh of his neighbor: "I was stupid in the first place, but now I have no memory, tsk, what can I do in the future?"
"I'm not stupid!"
The neighbor didn't expect him to reply, and in surprise, he forgot to look at the road, so he hit the doorpost with the basin in his hand.
Li Hancheng snorted, amused by his funny appearance.
The man was annoyed, "What are you laughing at, stinky fool!" ”
