"No, I don't have any plans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" probably didn't expect Xiaozhi to tell his secret, Ban Que obviously panicked, waving his hand to deny Xiaozhi's statement.

But Xiaozhi didn't give him a chance to refuse at all: "Even if it's not for my brother, I don't want to be a burden to others." If I'm in danger, will my brother come to my rescue? ”

may be used to deceiving Xiaozhi, Ban Que's 'will' blurted out like this, and when he finished speaking, even he himself was stunned. Xiaozhi smiled, probably thinking that she heard Ban Que's affirmative answer, which made her feel very happy: "Actually, when my brother said this, I felt very happy." However, I don't want to be just someone who hides under other people's wings, I also want to be very powerful. I can protect my brother until all the dangers of my brother are removed, and I just want to be by my brother's side. Even if my brother will like other people, even if my brother will push me away, I still want to try to be with my brother when I can be with him. If one day my brother really doesn't need me, it's not that he doesn't need me anymore, it's true that I have no value in existing, and I will leave my brother forever. Xiaozhi said seriously, but Ban Que on the other side gradually became expressionless with Xiaozhi's words, I don't know what he was thinking.

When the boss's figure came into sight, Xiaozhi suddenly grabbed Ban Que's hand islands: "So my brother just needs to agree." ”

The boss seemed to notice the unusual atmosphere here, and walked two steps quickly to climb out of the mess, but the version may have heard the boss's footsteps, he shook Xiaozhi's hand back, and replied, "Okay." When I looked up, Ban Que was smiling at Xiaozhi, although I couldn't see the meaning of effectiveness in his eyes, but it made Xiaozhi laugh too.

When the boss came over, he saw Xiaozhi being very happy, and asked with a sigh of relief; "What's the matter, so happy?"

Shaking his head and insisting on not speaking, the boss turned his gaze to Ban Que, who didn't say anything, and walked forward without looking back, the boss stared at Ban Que's back thoughtfully.

"Boss, what are you looking at?" Xiao Zhiyong shook in front of the boss, "Word, what do you think, Ban Que is about to walk out of the hospital gate." ”

"Nothing." The boss turned around, smiled, and took Xiaozhi out of the hospital. Ban Que waited at the gate of the hospital, saying that there was something wrong with the school and they went home. Xiaozhi was momentarily disappointed, but soon laughed again, and she used her little finger to construct Ban Que's little finger: "If you pull the hook, you have to keep your promise, so brother, so brother can't go back on it." ”

The version smiled and rubbed the top of Xiaozhi's head: "Childish." Okay, what I promised you to do, hurry home, there are still injuries on your body, don't run around. "Ban Que plays the image of a good brother in front of the boss.

Because he was so excited, Xiaozhi felt tired as soon as he got in the car, and when the boss was hungry in the middle of the drive, Xiaozhi fell asleep. "What exactly did you agree with Ban Que?" The old man glanced at his uncle and said to himself.

"He decided to take Xiaozhi with him." Because Xiaozhi was asleep, I took control, turned my head and said calmly to the boss.

"You asked Xiaozhi to do it?" The boss's tone has changed, he rarely speaks to Xiaozhi in this tone between adults, in his eyes, Xiaozhi will always be just the crying two-year-old little pitiful, so he always speaks to Xiaozhi in the tone of a child.

"I just gave him a multiple-choice question, and Xiaozhi chose to be in the same league as Ban Que." I made a face that I couldn't help it, but I knew I had succeeded in off the boss.

The boss asked me angrily, "Don't you know everything?" So why put her at risk? ”

Although the boss's tone made me sound very uncomfortable, and the tone of being too protective of Xiaozhi made me feel very aggrieved, I said a little angrily: "I know, that's why I let her approach Ban Que, and I died a few times because I didn't know what Ban Que was doing." Just when the opportunity comes, you kill the kidnappers just so that the other party can be a warning now, so they will stop for a while after seeing your resolute move. Xiaozhi entered their camp at this time, and they didn't dare to do anything to him, if something happened, they would kill themselves, so Xiaozhi was much safer than living stupidly and knowing nothing outside. As for me, I can know every step of Banque's plan through my own way, and even the composition of his staff, even if he still wants to kill me, I am also a confidant and invincible. ”

The boss was so angry that I couldn't speak, and finally asked, "Zheng Min and Wei Kai, are they also pulled in by you." ”

"Yes," I was completely angry, "but it was a decision between the few of us, and I only gave them a choice, they could reject me, they weren't children anymore." ”

"You." The old atmosphere didn't speak for a while, and suddenly turned the steering wheel around.

"Where are you going?" Looking in the opposite direction from home made me a little panicked.

"You'll know when you get there."

The car drove to the door of an ordinary apartment complex, and the boss called me. A few minutes later, Nan Ge kidnapped my man and was brought out by one of the boss's deputies. His deputy was a little surprised when he saw me sitting in the co-pilot, "Boss? Are you sure? ”

The boss nodded indifferently: "I have my own measure, by the way, don't mention this matter to other brothers again, just act as if this incident didn't happen, and don't make trouble everywhere recently." They will be on guard, and everything we do will be misinterpreted by them, and if we cause some trouble out of nothing, it will not be a good thing for us. ”

The boss's subordinate nodded, and at the end, he glanced at me with complicated eyes, and led the man to the back seat.

When the boss re-drove the car, he asked his men: "By the way, did you call over there?" ”

"It's 7 p.m. today." The boss's subordinate turned his head to look at the man, "Cherish it, you don't have a few hours to live." ”

The man smiled and said yes, and then he confirmed to the boss, "We're going to see her now, right?" ”

The boss nodded, "That's right." I did what I promised you, but I still want to say that he probably doesn't remember you. ”

The man smiled when he heard this, but he could tell that he was in a good mood.

We stopped in front of a small two-story bungalow, and the boss led us into the small building. A young, gentle-smiling lady walked up to her, and she saw the boss come over with a smile: "She's basking in the sun in the backyard." ”

"How's she doing lately?" The Boss asked as he walked with her into the backyard.

When asked such a thing, the gentle smile on the lady's face was replaced by a slightly gloomy expression, and he glanced at us who were following him, and stopped talking. The boss knew what he was worried about, and after glancing at the man, he said, "Buy the relationship, let's say, they are not outsiders." ”

The lady bit her lower lip as if she had made up her mind, and said, "The situation is very bad, her memory is almost gone, and sometimes when she talks to me, she forgets who I am." And it's getting older and stubborn, and I don't know why lately, as long as I'm not sure who I am, I won't even eat. ”

The boss patted her on the shoulder and thanked her for taking care of her: "Thank you, by the way, if you are busy, go and go about your own business first, I will take these people over to see her." ”

The lady nodded as if she had been relieved of some burden, and turned to leave.

After she left, the eldest explained to us, "This is a sanatorium, a more private place, because your mother has no identity, so the only one who can accept her is this kind of private sanatorium." The boss looked at the man apologetically, the man's expression had been gloomy since the lady told him about his mother, and it should have made him feel very uncomfortable to hear the truth about his mother's current situation, and he kept his head so low that no one could see his expression. But I saw a small puddle on the ground, and I knew he was crying.

The Boss walked over and patted her on the back. He rubbed two handfuls of his hand on his face, said "It's okay" and continued to walk forward with the boss. When we arrived in the backyard, we saw an elderly woman in a wheelchair, staring blankly at the rose pond in front of us. The man whispered something, it should be in a foreign language, but it sounded very similar to "mother". Madame heard the commotion and looked this way, but she still had a blank expression. The eldest sighed, walked over, and half-crouched in front of the woman while greeting and asked, "Zorka." How was it today. ”

The woman tilted her head and looked at him for a long time, revealing an innocent smile: "Quiêtes-vous? (Who are you in French?) ）”

The woman had beautiful big eyes, gray-blue pupils that were gloomy but still very beautiful, her hair was neatly combed in a bun and pulled back, and her thin cheeks maintained a gentle and charming smile. She blinked wide, as if she didn't know the boss.

The man walked past us, walked up to the woman, squatted down reverently, and looked at her with tears in his eyes, holding his hand: "Maman, c'estmoi, Jerome."

“Jerome.” The woman kept repeating the name, and then grabbed the man in front of her like crazy, and her eyes became more terrifying than ever, "Jerome, monlapin, quiest-il? (Jerome, my baby, where is he)" His tone revealed a deep uneasiness, and he stared at the man in front of him as if he was sure that he had taken his own child, Jerome.

Thinking that the mood of the Neihu people was starting to become panicked, the boss removed the man's hand from the woman's wrist and shouted at my position, "Call the female nurse just now." ”

I hurriedly went back the way I came, followed the lady who had brought us in, and after looking around, I saw in the other room that she was taking care of another elderly man who seemed to have cognitive difficulties like the woman. The old man lost his temper because of the unfamiliar environment, there was nothing in the house that was a year old, and there was nothing to hurt people, so she didn't stop the old man from smashing things, and after a while, the old man was tired of smashing, and looked at her with a wooden look and asked her who she was. Because the situation on the boss's side could not be delayed, I decisively knocked on the door of that room. When she saw me, the lady realized that something was wrong, and after telling the other little nurse in the room to take care of the old man, she hurried back to the backyard with me.

"It's full of old people who are slowly losing their memories." On the way to the past, the nurse sister explained to me, "Memory is the most precious thing in a person, and it sows your glory, your regrets, and most importantly, your identity. But when you are him, you will no longer remember who you are, you can't even find the meaning of your life, stay here for a long time, you will find that it is true, those things that have made you sad, angry, and regretful, are actually not counted, at least you can still remember them, at least you still know who you are, you still have the opportunity to correct or reflect, and you still have too many good memories. But when you lose them, you think you're free, but in fact, it's the greatest punishment for you, you're not even eligible to repent, you don't know who you are? What is the purpose of your existence? This is even more terrible than the death penalty, because you don't know how long you will stay in this loneliness and fear, you are the only one in this unknown world, the instruments around you no longer have anything to do with you, and you will be alone forever. When I was about to get to Houyan, the nurse sister suddenly turned to me and told me very seriously, "So, no matter how unbearable the memories are, remember that this is your life, your only sustenance." ”

With that, we came to the backyard, where the woman's emotions were uncontrollable, and she was flapping wildly, and the man and the boss tried to stop her, but she could only see the woman mutilating herself in more despair. When the boss saw the nurse's sister, he was already sweating profusely, and he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stimulated her,"

The nurse didn't say anything, but pressed a red button on the courtyard wall, and fifteen minutes later, a doctor-like man with two nurses rushed over, took out the tranquilizer from the medicine box and beat the woman for a while, and then the woman calmed down, collapsed limply in the wheelchair and fell asleep. After instructing the lady not to provoke him when she woke up, he led the people away. The nurse pushed the wheelchair and took us to the woman's usual resting place, which is a room of more than 30 square meters, different from the general ward, it is beautifully furnished, the style and materials of the furniture are very exquisite, there is an easel in the corner of the room, although there is no dust on it, but there is no painting in the room, compared to the painter has not been used for a long time.

"In his current condition, he can hardly do anything but sleep and bask in the sun." The nurse explained when she saw me resting on the painter.

"Mom used to love to draw." The man also set his eyes on the flower stand, revealing a gentle look.

"You're his child, aren't you?" The nurse and the eldest settled the lady on the bed, covered the quilt, and walked up to the man and asked.

The man was startled at first, but nodded and admitted his identity. The nurse smiled: "You are very similar to the person she used to paint here, but the person in the painting is much younger than you, a teenager." ”

"That's what I was like when I was a kid." The man looked a little cramped, and then he looked eagerly at the nurse and asked, "My mother?" Can my mom be like this forever? He asked very vaguely, in fact, he should have known in his heart his mother's situation, and he should never recover.

The nurse's expression was not very good, and finally shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, we've done our best." ”

The man's face was covered with a shade of gray, and then he asked, "How is my mother's health, I see her in a wheelchair." ”

"His physical functions are also deteriorating, that's true, he is in a wheelchair because of brain damage, she is slowly deteriorating, just like some Alzheimer's patients, she has slowly forgotten the basic common sense of life, I mean, he forgot how to walk, as his memory fades, she is becoming more and more dependent on the wheelchair, and now her muscles are also atrophiing so much, the possibility of recovery is very small, there is not much hope. In addition, her body should have suffered a very serious trauma when she was young, so her body functions are slowly, you know, and slowly eroding her body because of the sequelae, although I am not a doctor, and you will not like to hear this sentence, but your mother's situation, half a year is already a miracle. ”

"Yes." The man's face sank a little more, "Thank you." He walked past us to his mother's bedside, holding his mother's hand tenderly, and the nurse nodded at us as a goodbye, "Ring the nurse's bell if you have something." ”

The boss asked us all to leave the room: "Leave some space for him and his mother." ”

We sat in the lounge chair at the door, idle and bored, and I asked the boss: "Boss, does his mother speak Chinese?" "I just heard the man speak a foreign language with his mother all the time (I later learned that they spoke French, and he lived in France as a child).

"Yes," said the Boss, "after all, I don't speak a foreign language." If it doesn't speak the document, we can't communicate with each other. When her mother was in a good state, she spoke Chinese very well, and in addition to Chinese, she could also speak the languages of other countries, and she was a very smart person. It's just that now she thinks that the cause of the damage to her inner brain is that she only remembers the language in which she can communicate with her son. But when you left just now, he was so excited that he began to jump out of a language that we couldn't understand, and you know, his language function was slowly losing it."

"But she doesn't recognize her son anymore, has she forgotten him?" I asked the boss.

The boss shook his head: "She hasn't forgotten, it's just that all his brain functions have slowly failed, and she can't recognize him anymore." Actually, I thought about it for a long time before I decided to tell him this secret, in fact, I thought that it would be much better to keep him in the dark forever than to tell him such a cruel truth. Remorse already appeared on the boss's face.

"No, it won't." I retorted, "It's cruel to lie to him forever." Although it hurts him to see his mother wanting to be there now, he at least knows that he still has relatives living in this world, and there are still people who miss her every day, no matter how much this person's memory is receding, he instinctively loves him and misses him. This was a comfort to him. He has been alone for a long time, and what he needs most is someone who can accompany him. I can understand the reason why you haven't told him this secret before, because you are afraid that someone will use his mother to threaten her with many more terrible things if they find out. But now that he has been told, he can't go back. If you don't tell him, I'm not saying that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, if you don't tell him, even I will die; But when he really thinks that he is the only one in this world as before, he really has no hope of living. ”

"What's the use of that hope then, he's going to die today anyway." The boss's subordinate said from the side.

"It's useful, and it's satisfying to know that someone loves him before he dies. After death, there will always be people who are sad because of it, and those who will be remembered are just physically dead, but the soul is still there. Only when there is really no one in this world who can remember him anymore can he be considered truly dead. ”

After that, all three of us were silent, and after a long time, the boss glanced at his watch: "It's time for us to go." We got up and went back to the woman's room, where the man sat on the edge of her bed with her hand in his hand, looking at her sleeping with tender eyes. The red eyes showed the fact that the man had just cried, and when he saw us come in, the man put her mother's hand back in the quilt and got up to leave, but he was held by the hand, although the force was not great, but we could all see her insistence, as if she was reluctant, but it only lasted for a second, and the lady's hand slowly let go, and then the woman called out like a dream: "Jerome."

(My dreams will accompany your dreams, good night, my mother.) The man said this, kissing his mother's hair, and his mother had an innocent smile on her face. As the man walked to the door, he glanced back at the present, held back the tears that were swirling in his eyes, and followed us away.

After that, we went to the place they had agreed upon, and the boss ordered his men to watch over me, not to let me get out of the car, and led the man to the warehouse. When I got out of the car, I suddenly turned around and said thank you, I didn't understand what he meant, and when I wanted to confirm, he had been pushed to the warehouse by the boss.

"Wait for me here quietly." The boss finally instructed me and his men.

Soon after they left, I tried to sneak open the car door, but found that the doors were locked, and the boss's men laughed at me for being naïve: "I'll sentence you to run over and make trouble, I'll lock the door a long time ago, and wait for the boss to come out in a while." ”

"Do you have to kill him?" I looked at him and asked, knowing what the ending would look like, but I still wanted to hear a different answer.

The boss's subordinates asked, "Certainly, to appease the anger of the people." ”

"But he helped you get rid of your heart disease." I said a little unconvinced, although I am not a good person, although I have always wanted to replace Xiaozhi and become the master of this body, but I am still very dissatisfied with this idea of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

His subordinates didn't say much, but said indifferently: "This is a theft from adults, and you children will never understand." ”

"Really?" I smiled wryly, "Adults are really good at making sense." ”

His subordinates didn't mind my cynicism, but reported to class and put it in their mouths, "Yes, I used to think the same way, but at my age, I realized that what I used to ridicule is the rules I am practicing today." Maybe you don't understand it now, but when you grow up, you'll understand what I'm talking about today. ”

"If I find a fight, I will change the rules of the adult world and become a different person from you." I shot back,

"No, then you can grow up quickly, and see if your fists are hard or the reality is hard."

Less than half an hour. The boss came back, there was a bad smell of blood, when he got in the car, I opened the window, don't come to see him, the boss seemed to know what I was thinking now, and didn't stop my behavior, just sighed, and let me open the window in the cold and freeze all the way home.

The boss sent his deputy home, and then took me home, and when we got out of the car and were about to walk to the door, I suddenly pretended to be nervous, and quietly walked next to the boss, and whispered close to his ear; "He's not dead, is he?"

"Otherwise, why would I take his place to see his mother?" The Boss blinked and opened the door with the key. (To be continued.) )
