Chapter 243: Strong Hold

Huo Chongyun wanted to say something, but he was silent for a while and finally didn't say anything. only let the two of them be careful on the road, and told Guo Shu to take care of Jiang Guangguang.

Guo Shu responded one by one, said goodbye as usual, and then started the car.

The little guy probably noticed the difference in the atmosphere, and waited for the car to leave before hugging Huo Chongyun's neck and asking, "Grandpa, where is Mom?" ”

Huo Chongyun touched it lightly and said, "Mom went to another city." Uncle Zhou was injured in order to fight the bad guys, and his mother went to see him. It's the most well-behaved to make trouble, can grandpa take you to your uncle? ”

The little guy nodded sensibly. Huo Chongyun touched his head again, looked at the place where the car drove out, and sat in the car with the little guy in his arms after a while.

Jiang Guangguang had a bad premonition in his heart, he wanted to ask something, his lips spurted, but he couldn't say a word.

The car was very quiet for a while, and after a long while, Guo Shu squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry. Nothing should happen. ”

His comfort was powerless, and even he could not deceive himself. If there was really nothing wrong, Zhou Yuan would not have called him and asked him to bring Jiang Guangguang over.

Jiang Guangguang was silent and nodded after a long while.

Guo Shu originally wanted to find something to make the atmosphere less dull, but at this time, he couldn't find anything to talk about, so the silence spread.

When the car drove out of the congested section, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and said in a low voice: "It may take about four hours to arrive, what do you want to eat, I'll buy some to pad my stomach first." ”

Not only did Jiang Guangguang not eat lunch, but he himself did not eat either. He was originally in a meeting, and Zhou Yuan's phone from the street rushed to pick up Jiang Guangguang.

The two cities are not far away, and at this time it is no longer possible to catch the morning flight, so I have to drive there.

Jiang Guangguang has no appetite, and there is no place to park nearby. She knew that Guo Shu must not have eaten, so she said, "You pull over the car, I'll buy it." ”

As she spoke, she pulled her purse out of her pocket and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

There are steamed bun shops, pancake shops, and other snack bars on the side of the road.

Guo Shu said that he could eat anything, and pulled the car to the side and stopped. Jiang Guangguang did not delay, and immediately opened the car door and got out of the car.

Just after walking a few steps, the mobile phone rang, she took the mobile phone out, only to find that it was Cheng Rongjian calling. She picked it up as she walked and fed it.

Cheng Rongjian's voice was low and deep, and he called out to Ah Ei, and then asked, "Did you and Guo Shu go on the road in the past?" ”

He knew so quickly, probably Huo Chongyun told him.

Jiang Guangguang hummed in a low voice. When facing him, there was a little tremor in his voice.

Cheng Rongjian should have heard it, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it should be fine." I've got people booked a ticket to get there, and I should be there in the evening. ”

Jiang Guangguang responded with a good sentence now.

Cheng Rongjian asked again on the other end of the phone, "Have you eaten?" "His voice is soft, and it can calm people a lot without a reason.

The steamed bun shop was already close at hand, and Jiang Guangguang replied in a low voice that he was buying food.

Cheng Rongjian hummed on the phone and asked her what she bought. She talked to Cheng Rongjian while buying food. Cheng Rongjian's tone was gentle, saying that he had read the weather forecast, and there might be snow in the afternoon, so he asked him to drive slowly and pay attention to safety. He was distracting her, babbling on and on, waiting for her to get back to the car after shopping, and then hung up.

Jiang Guangguang bought steamed buns, pancakes and soy milk, and there was a bakery next to it, so she went in to buy bread and milk. The weather is bad, you have to hurry, put some food in case of preparedness.

She has no appetite. I couldn't eat half of the bun. However, I still ate the remaining half of the bun with soy milk.

As Cheng Rongjian said, it didn't take long for the car to get on the highway and it was dark. The temperature outside dropped dramatically. Snowflakes were falling in the sky. At the back, the snowflakes were getting denser and denser.

Cheng Rongjian was worried, and would call from time to time. There were people around him who were familiar with the road here, and he was afraid that the snow would close the road, so he let Guo Shu get off the highway early.

Guo Shu and Jiang Guangguang were not in the mood, and they almost didn't talk much during the whole process. It was expected to arrive in the afternoon, but due to heavy snowfall, it was delayed for two hours.

The buns that were eaten casually at noon, both of them were hungry. But no one said they wanted to eat, so they rushed to the hospital.

In just half an afternoon, this strange city was already snow-white. There are very few vehicles on the road. Fortunately, the hospital is located in the city.

When he arrived at the parking lot, as soon as the car stopped, Guo Shu took out his mobile phone to call Zhou Yuan. But no one answered the phone.

Guo Shu was rarely anxious, hung up the phone and said to Jiang Guangguang: "Let's go up and ask again." ”

He continued to make a phone call as he walked out of the parking lot. The phone was still not answered, and when he arrived at the entrance of the hall and saw a nurse standing, Jiang Guangguang stepped forward quickly and asked in a dumb voice: "Hello, is there an injured policeman who was sent over today?" ”

I don't know if it's cold or scared, her face is pale.

The movement when Zhou Lai sent it over was loud, and the nurse sighed low and said, "You are family members, right?" ”

Jiang Guangguang had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he still nodded.

The nurse looked at her, whispered a word of sorrow, and hurried away.

Jiang Guangguang's head was dizzy, and there were obviously many people around, but she couldn't hear anything. It wasn't until Guo Shu called her that she raised a miserable white face to look at Guo Shu.

Guo Shu's last phone call was through, he wanted to say something about the festival, but he couldn't say it, just said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou, they're here." ”

The two of them had only walked a few steps before Zhou Yuan's secretary hurriedly came down. He didn't look at the two of them, just whispered a word to go this way, and led the two to the side door.

Jiang Guangguang was like a walking corpse, and when she saw Zhou Lai lying coldly, her tears fell in big drops.

She wanted to step forward, but her steps weighed a thousand pounds, so heavy that it was difficult for her to even move. Some people around me say that the festival mourns and changes. But she couldn't hear anything, and after a long time, she lifted her steps and stepped forward step by step.

Zhou Lai's face was not bloody, and he lay coldly. The blood-soaked clothes on his body had been changed, and he looked like he was asleep from a distance.

The closer Jiang Guangguang walked, the tears on his face fell even harder. There was only a blur in front of me. She suddenly remembered a lot of things when she was a child, and the two of them were together. I wanted to raise my hand to touch his cold and handsome face, but I couldn't lift my hand.

She has already experienced several life and death separations. originally thought it was numb, but at this moment the pain was still heartbreaking, and she didn't even want to believe that Zhou Lai, who was lying down, could never wake up again. Rather, what is in front of me is just an illusion, just a dream. When he woke up, he was still there. Still smiling at her.

Her eyes were even more blurry, and her tears flowed silently. Eventually, he sobbed out of breath.

Her figure was thin and thin in the brightly lit and cold morgue, and the restrained sobbing was especially harsh in the quiet space.

Guo Shu wanted to step forward. After all, he stopped two meters away from Jiang Guangguang and looked at her from such a distance.

When Cheng Rongjian came, Guo Shu was smoking outside the morgue, and Zhou Lai's colleagues had already come to visit, and the people had dispersed, and it seemed even more deserted here.

He wasn't surprised to see Cheng Rongjian coming, and when he approached, he said softly: "Inside, she said she wanted to stay with him for a while." ”

Guo Shu's voice was tired and weak. Between life and death, no one is powerless.

Cheng Rongjian didn't speak, and nodded. Look inside. Jiang Guangguang was sorting out the folds on Zhou Lai's clothes, and his face was calm. It was as if Zhou Lai had just fallen asleep.

Cheng Rongjian's Adam's apple shook slightly, and he walked in slowly. Softly called out to Ayi.

Jiang Guangguang looked back at him, she thought she was going to cry. But no, she even squeezed a smile on her face and said, "You're here." ”

Cheng Rongjian hummed and stepped forward to hug her shoulder.

Jiang Guangguang obediently leaned into his arms, choking in his throat. But she was rigidly restrained.

Cheng Rongjian held her cold hand and said in a low voice, "A-Ei." When you are sad, you cry. ”

All of Jiang Guangguang's strength collapsed, and tears fell down big drops again. At this time, any words were pale, and Cheng Rongjian gently patted her back.

At that time, she was still holding on, but now she was crying bitterly. Tears rolled down Cheng Rongjian's shirt. Wet shirt.

I don't know how long I cried, but it wasn't until I cried that Cheng Rongjian took her out. Let her sit in a chair outside.

Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her whole person was dazed. Guo Shu bought steaming porridge and said in a low voice: "I haven't eaten all day, let's eat something." ”

Jiang Guangguang didn't move, he handed the porridge to Cheng Rongjian.

Cheng Rongjian took it, gently opened the porridge, took a spoon and fed it to Jiang Guangguang's mouth, and said, "Ah Rong, eat some porridge." ”

Jiang Guangguang lowered his head, shook his head, and said in a dumb voice: "You eat, I'm not hungry." ”

She was dumbfounded, and she curled up in her chair.

No matter what kind of estrangement there has been, those childhood days that existed in each other's lives cannot be erased.

Before there were no barriers, Zhou Lai was a brother and a close playmate to her. These, too, cannot be changed.

She didn't dare to imagine it, and she couldn't face the fact that he was lying cold and could never wake up again.

Cheng Rongjian put the porridge in his hand aside, stretched out his hand and pulled her shoulder, and said, "Ah Rong, you look at me." ”

Jiang Guangguang didn't move, and after a long time, he looked up at him.

Cheng Rongjian stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, sighed lowly, and then said, "Ah Rong, I know you are very sad. But you have to be spirited. Uncle Zhou suddenly fainted. It's still being observed. And Aunt Luo's side, she doesn't know yet. You need to deal with all of this. So, you can't fall. ”

His tone was serious, and a pair of eyes looked at Jiang Guangguang so straight.

A layer of mist quickly rose in Jiang Guangguang's clear eyes, she pinned it to the side, blinked her eyes vigorously, and finally picked up the bowl of porridge.

She was sad, but whether it was Uncle Zhou or Aunt Luo, they were ten million times sadter than her. You can't hide it. She didn't even know how to open her mouth to talk to Aunt Luo about it.

Her body was not good in the first place, how could she resist the white-haired person sending the black-haired person?

Every mouthful of porridge Jiang Guangguang swallowed was so difficult, but she could eat, Guo Shu and Cheng Rongjian were undoubtedly relieved.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Jiang Guangguang asked in a low voice, "Where is Uncle Zhou?" ”

Guo Shu said that it was upstairs, paused slightly, and then said, "I've already been to see it." He was still asleep when he went, and I don't know if he woke up at this time. ”

Whether you are awake or not, you have to see it. Zhou Lai's body cannot be kept in the hospital all the time. Whether you want to bring it back or here, someone has to decide.

Jiang Guangguang nodded, and said in a dumb voice, I'll go up and take a look.

Guo Shu responded to the sentence now.

Cheng Rongjian looked sideways at Jiang Guangguang and said in a low voice, "You guys go up, I won't go." Uncle Zhou may rush back overnight, I'll arrange it first. ”

When he came, he had met Zhou Yuan's secretary. Zhou Yuan is lying down now, and he is needed for many things. He's already busy. He stayed and might be able to help.

Yes, I have to let Luo Yi see him for the last time. Jiang Guangguang's tears were about to gush out again, but in the end, he held back stiffly, nodded and answered in a dumb voice.

Cheng Rongjian signaled Guo Shu to take care of her again, and then let them go upstairs. It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared into the elevator that he withdrew his gaze. Take out your phone and make a call.

After making the call, he put away his phone and paused in his steps. Re-enter the morgue. He stopped next to Zhou Lai's body.

Zhou Lai walked calmly, and there was no pain on his face. Cheng Rongjian watched quietly for a moment, and reached out to straighten his slightly wrinkled collar for him.

In a pool of sewage, he is actually a good cop. He didn't want to be promoted wholeheartedly, and he didn't give up his persistence because of power.

He didn't show up at his wedding with Jiang Guangguang, and he didn't expect that the last time they met, it would be such a scene.

He had heard from the time he came, and he was badly wounded. Even Zhou Yuan rushed over. I didn't see the last one either.

He was wounded while chasing the robbers, and when the robbers tried to take the hostages, he threw himself to save them. Obviously he was injured, and he was not the only policeman at the scene, and he didn't know what stupidity he was committing.

The robber was at the end of his rope, and the knife in his hand stabbed him in the chest as he pounced. Rao is like this, he is still holding people to death. It wasn't until a colleague stepped forward to hold the person down that he let go.

Cheng Rongjian just stood quietly for a long time. He reached out again and straightened the collar on the other side of Zhou Lai's shirt before leaving.

When Jiang Guangguang and Zhou Lai went upstairs, Zhou Yuan had already woken up, and in just one afternoon, he was as old as an old man in his twilight. Suddenly there was a white patch between the temples.

He closed his eyes quietly, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "Send him back, let your Aunt Luo see him for the last time." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the secretary beside him to get ready and rush back overnight. His current body. You have to cultivate well. But at this moment, where did the secretary dare to persuade him, he immediately went to arrange it.

It's been a whole day today, and the secretary didn't expect him to rush back overnight. There were a lot of things to do, but now it's even more anxious. Fortunately, Cheng Rongjian, who he didn't expect, had already thought of it, and most things were arranged by Cheng Rongjian.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when the group set off, and the snow was blowing heavily in the sky. The temperature dropped to minus a few degrees Celsius. Jiang Guangguang had a blanket on his body and quietly leaned on Cheng Rongjian's arms.

Cheng Rongjian let her sleep for a while, but her mind was clear, and she couldn't sleep at all. Even if you close your eyes, what comes to mind is Zhou Lai's face that has lost so much blood that it is so white that there is no trace of blood.

Akai drove the car in front of him, and there was no sound in the car.

After a long time, Cheng Rongjian looked down and saw that she hadn't slept, and gently touched her cheek with her fingertips, and said, "Squint for a while, the snow is falling heavily, and it should be almost dawn." ”

It's snowing heavily, and the highway is closed. They were rushing back from the national highway, and they were looking for a car to open the way.

Jiang Guangguang shook his head, said I was not sleepy, and simply sat up.

The blanket on her body slid down, and Cheng Rongjian pulled it up again and wrapped her tightly. Then he said in a low voice: "Don't think nonsense, he walks calmly and is not painful." You're going to need your help with a lot of things tomorrow, and you need to get some rest. and Aunt Luo's side, her side is not good, you have to accompany her. ”

His tone was gentle, Jiang Guangguang's heart was unstoppable, and he said thank you in a low voice.

Cheng Rongjian's fingertips gently rubbed her cheek, sighed lowly, and said, "Ah Rong, you don't have to be polite to me." ”

Jiang Guangguang hummed and rested his head on his shoulder.

Cheng Rongjian hugged her into his arms and whispered, "Sleep, I'm here." He reached out and took her hand. and her tight fingers.

Jiang Guangguang's eyes were astringent, and he mumbled, but finally closed his eyes.

Cheng Rongjian's body has the power to make people feel at ease, and she fell asleep in a daze in the occasional bumps of the car.

In heavy snowy weather, the car drove slowly, and it was late at night, but it was bright outside. In this kind of weather, the eyes are the most easily tired, and Akai didn't dare to take it lightly, staring at the road ahead without blinking.

Cheng Rongjian hadn't smoked for a long time, and in the middle of the night, he suddenly became addicted to cigarettes again. Akai saw that his eyes were kept open. He said in a low voice: "Second master, you can also rest for a while, it's still early, I'll call you when it's time." ”

He hurried over after learning the news, and he arranged most of the things here. There will be a lot of things going on tomorrow, and even if you stay up like this, even your iron body can't stand it.

Cheng Rongjian said that I was not sleepy, there was already a car stopped in front of him, so he looked at the time and said to Akai: "Stop and go and smoke a cigarette." ”

They often stay up late by smoking to refresh themselves, and Akai has never smoked, and he doesn't have to think about it, and he knows that it is because Jiang Guangguang is in the car.

Akai was a little uncomfortable. However, he did need to smoke to relieve his fatigue, and after answering the sentence, he pulled over and got out of the car to smoke.

After smoking half a cigarette, he opened the car door again, looked at Cheng Rongjian, who was behind him with his eyes closed, and asked, "Do you want to have one too?" ”

Others don't know, but he and Ah Bei Anan do. After leaving Adong and Axi, the second master has always been sensitive to this kind of thing. What's more, although this person is annoying in the week. But it's also admirable. Miss Jiang's heart is uncomfortable, and his heart must not be uncomfortable either.

Cheng Rongjian said in a deep voice, no need, a cold wind blew in, he gathered the blanket on Jiang Guangguang's body for Jiang Guangguang, and asked Akai to close the door.

Akai quickly closed the door until he finished smoking and the smell of smoke dissipated, and then he got back into the car.

No one spoke all the way, and Jiang Guangguang woke up before dawn. She dreamed. There was also a dense layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

The car was parked, she opened her eyes, Cheng Rongjian didn't know where to get some warm water, so he handed her the thermos flask and said, "Drink some water." Everyone is resting now, and they will be able to enter the city in a moment. ”

The meaning of this was that it would arrive soon, and Jiang Guangguang nodded. The neighboring city is snowing heavily, but it is rainy here, and the national highway is muddy on the wheels.

She drank the hot water slowly, and Akai came over with breakfast. I said that I bought it from the breakfast shop in front, and it was still early at this time, only steamed buns and steamed buns.

After driving all night, driving at night is exhausting, and everyone is hungry.

Jiang Guangguang had no appetite, and he didn't move after taking the bun in his hand for a long time. After so long, she looked at Cheng Rongjian and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Luo, does she know?" ”

Cheng Rongjian was silent for a while, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It should have been notified." ”

This matter can't be hidden, everyone is coming soon, and it must have been notified. He paused when he said this, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry too much, Uncle Huo and they should be there at this time." ”

These words are a little powerless, at this time, no matter who is there, they can't share the pain of Luo Yi's loss of a child.

Jiang Guangguang didn't speak, just sat in a daze. I couldn't take a bite of the bun in my hand. In her mind, all of a sudden, many, many images from the past came to mind.

She couldn't imagine how hard Aunt Luo would be if Zhou Lai was away.
