Xiao Hong ......" Kuroko raised his hand and took her into his arms, "Give me a few more days, and I will take you out of here next week at the latest." ”

Xiao Hong stiffly held him in his arms, smelling the familiar smell of tobacco, and it took a long time to slow down. She nodded and laughed, "Okay." ”

Xiao Hong took Heizi to the cottage in Cloud City, and Heizi was very surprised, she didn't expect her to buy a house at all, but he was a little strange.

The house is an old-fashioned private house, obviously very old, surrounded by crowded houses, out is a winding alley, the car can not drive in, can only park outside the side of the road, plus the neighborhood is everywhere in the demolition and reconstruction, the environment is particularly poor, the conditions are better have bought a house and moved out to live, the rest are working tenants or the elderly who are unwilling to move.

Kuroko asked, "How did you come up with the idea of buying this place?" ”

Xiao Hong: "This place is very good, popular, and lively, I bought it and plan to retire in the future." She was sorting out what she had brought with her as she answered the question.

At that time, Kuroko had the illusion that she seemed to have prepared to be alone for the rest of her life, and when she was old and had no place to go, she would come back from afar and hide in this hut in the deep alley, guarding the last days alone.

It was unimaginable, Kuroko walked over and gently grabbed her shoulders and asked her to face herself, "Trust me." ”

Xiao Hong nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here." ”

Xiao Hong was left alone that day, she asked Kuroko to drive back first, of course Kuroko refused at first, and wanted to stay with her, but she insisted, "What are you worried about me?" Worried that I'm going to do something stupid or worried that I won't be able to take care of myself? …… It doesn't matter, if I couldn't make it go on, I would have died many times ten years ago. ”

Not everyone has the right to choose to leave this world when they are in extreme pain, Xiao Hong knows her situation, she doesn't even have a chance to "die", because Shen Wei is still there and needs her to take care of her.

Kuroko still didn't speak, and then she said, "I survived so hard before, and now I at least have you ......"

It may be that this sentence moved Heizi, and in the end he agreed, not because he was relieved of Xiao Hong, but because there were indeed many things to do, and it was not necessarily a good thing for Xiao Hong to be around.

"If you think it's okay for you to be here alone, then I'll go back first, if it goes well, we can settle here next week, and I'll call you and pick me up when the time comes."

After the sunspot left, Xiao Hong stayed in the house for another two hours, tidying up the house, it had been a long time since anyone lived, the sheets and bedding needed to be re-laid, and the table and floor had to be wiped down.

After packing her luggage, she had nothing to do, it was already dark at that time, the room was frighteningly quiet, Xiao Hong was sitting alone in the living room, and she felt that something began to drill into her head.

In fact, where did she get such a strong self-healing power, her body was cut open, obviously the blood was not stopping, the pain and wounds were real, at best, it was just a good cover-up, plus the "self-deception" that had been practiced very skillfully for so many years, what a big deal, there was nothing to be hypocritical, but as soon as the people around her dispersed and their brains were empty, many things began to pour out from all directions.

Xiao Hong felt that the situation was a little bad, she couldn't stay in this house anymore, so she took her bag and went out, she had hardly eaten anything until noon, and planned to find a place to have dinner, but when she went out, she realized that everything around her had been demolished, and the rest were private houses, and it was a little difficult to find a restaurant.

In the end, I finally saw a small restaurant, which happened to be a meal, and there were quite a lot of people eating, but it could be seen that most of them were migrant workers on the nearby construction site, wearing dirty clothes, hard hats and gloves were thrown on the ground by them at will, three or four or five tables, boiled edamame, peanuts, fragrant dried fried meat, and then a big cabbage vermicelli simmered mutton, and a pot of cooking in a mess, the dishes were not good dishes, and the wine was not good wine, but a large group of people gathered around to eat and talk hotly, and they were very angry when they looked at it.

With such a market appearance, Xiao Hong suddenly thought of two words - "hope".

She looked at the door of the restaurant for a long time, until a woman came out and shouted at her, "It's you!" Xiao Hong came back to her senses at this time, and saw a woman with a flushed face and a little fat, and thought for two seconds before remembering, this is the one who lives opposite, what is it called?

"Ah Cai, don't you know me again?" The woman first reported to herself.

Xiao Hong was stunned, "I'm sorry, why are you here?" ”

"My man is a chef here, I work here, what about you, come to eat?"

Xiao Hong was pulled into the store like that, ordered two dishes and a soup under Ah Cai's recommendation, forced herself to finish eating, and went to check out after eating, it was very cheap, only seventy-four yuan in total, Ah Cai also gave a discount, saying that seventy-four was unlucky, and only accepted Shen Ci seventy, but she vomited it all as soon as she walked out of the restaurant.

She felt as if something was wrong with her stomach, she couldn't keep any food, she almost vomited after eating, and after she vomited it clean, she felt that her stomach was very empty, and she seemed to feel weightless when she walked.

Xiao Hong turned back to the store, and Ah Cai was cleaning up the table where she had eaten.

"May I ask, is there a pharmacy nearby?"

"Pharmacies? Are you sick? ”

"There's something upset in my stomach."

Ah Cai put down the dirty dishes and looked at her and frowned, "Your face is not ordinarily bad, it looks like it's all blue, it's best to go to the hospital." ”

Xiao Hong shook her head: "Just take some medicine." ”

In the end, Ah Cai still pointed out the way to the pharmacy to Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong walked out, Ah Cai looked at her back from behind, and pinched her bulging waist fiercely, "Tsk...... The face is white and thin, and it is almost as thin as a bamboo pole, and it will fall down when the wind blows, so it is better to have a little meat like me. ”

Compared to her, Yunjin's situation is really much better, she went to work the next day, and as soon as she sat down, she received a call from Qi Aiguo, "Mr. Yun, I finally got in touch with you, why did the phone keep turning off two days ago?" ”

Yun Jin paused and replied, "It's broken, take it and repair it for two days." ”

Qi Aiguo didn't have much doubts, "I just want to tell you when I call, the principal is currently in a good state, living with his mother and younger brother, and he asked me to tell you that you don't need to come to Beijing to see him, this should be the most comfortable time he lived before leaving, oh yes, I also took a few photos and sent them to you later." ”

A few minutes later, Qi Aiguo sent the photo, the photo should have been taken in a courtyard, Principal Chen Da was in a wheelchair, the photo seemed to be much thinner than when he went, and there was an old man and a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old standing behind him, the man's facial features were somewhat similar to Chen Da, but there were not so many vicissitudes in his eyebrows, it should be his "younger brother".

The three people in the photo are all laughing, especially Chen Da, who probably hasn't been so comfortable as now, no responsibility, no persistence, and no fear and unwillingness to life, some just live every day with peace and light.

Yun Jin was very relieved and sent the photo to Zhou Yimo.

Since buying a house, Xiao Hong has not seriously turned around, and this time she took the opportunity to walk around. She found that Cloud City has really changed a lot in the past two years, not to mention other places, only the vicinity of the hut has basically been turned over.

More than half of the old houses around it have also been demolished, and the old street next to it has also been changed after the university campus has been moved.

Now that the students are gone, many businesses cannot be sustained, and the shops are rented out and transferred, and all that remains are some intermediary centers or repair stations for digital products. Xiao Hong only felt the coolness of depression when she walked on that street, and only a few hundred meters away, there was a completely different scene on another newly opened street.

Before, it was a village, old houses gathered, dirty and messy, but then all of them were demolished, and the developers moved in and rebuilt a few rows of storefronts, and people came and went in and out of the station, and soon all the storefronts were sold, and now there are bakeries, coffee shops, breakfast shops, clothing stores and restaurants gathered there, and it has become the most prosperous place in this area.

On the third day after Kuroko returned to S City, he finally contacted Xiao Hong, "I will call someone to pick up Shen Wei tonight and arrange for the car to be sent to the nursing home first, and I may come over later." Is there anything else you'd like me to bring back? ”

Kuroko was concise and to the point, covering everything in a few sentences, and Xiao Hong didn't ask a word, completely following and believing in his arrangement.

"I don't want those things, call me when you come, and I'll pick you up." Xiao Hong didn't ask a word, completely obeyed and believed in his arrangement, but added at the end: "I'll buy some delicious food, and I'll cook it for you myself." ”

Kuroko seemed to laugh over there and replied, "Okay, I'm measured!" ”

Xiao Hong felt that she should go to the sanatorium in person and go through the discharge procedures for Shen Wei, after all, Heizi was not very familiar with it, and she still had to pay her aunt for her work.

Auntie couldn't accept it for a while, "The cost here is expensive, the threshold is high, and I have been persuading you to transfer him to the hospital before, but you don't listen, why do you suddenly have to pick it up now?" ”

Xiao Hong didn't know how to explain to her, so she could only shirk and change jobs to go to other places, and when her aunt saw that she was in a hurry, she didn't ask much, but only nagged a few words as an elder, "Xiaowei is already like this anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be any worse, but you, you don't seem to have lost a lot of weight after a while, and your face is sallow, is it too hard to work?" You can't make enough money, you have to take care of yourself, and if you change to a cheaper hospital in the future, you can spend a little less...... Don't think Auntie talks too much, I've helped you take care of Xiaowei for so many years, I have long regarded you as my own, if you have anything in the future, please contact me at any time, anyway, now the communication is also convenient, you must come back to see me when you are free......"

Xiao Hong doesn't like to say goodbye, she has traveled to many places for so many years, she made a temporary decision and went alone, no one sent her, no one picked her up, in this vast world, she has always been a lone traveler, only this time, a few words of advice from her aunt easily brought out some of her emotions.

"Auntie, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaowei for so many years, and taking care of me so well......"

"Where, it's right to take care of Xiaowei, and besides, you've paid for it."

Having said that, she knew that her aunt was kind and conscientious, and she had been helping her take care of Shen Wei all these years, which also saved Xiao Hong a lot of heart, and changing a nurse may not be able to do it like her, but Xiao Hong is not good at expressing it, and she can only say "thank you" for a long time.

She handed the money in the envelope in advance to her aunt, "This is the unfinished salary before." ”

The aunt took it and took a general look, and found that there were a lot of more questions: "Why are there so many?" ”
