Chapter Forty-Eight: Gu Qiu
Tong Lu was wearing long-sleeved trousers, except for a little pain on her body, there were a few abrasions, and Lin Zhen's injuries looked much more serious.
Tong Lu stood up, "I'll take you to the hospital." ”
As she spoke, Tong Lu wanted to call for a taxi.
"No need Sister Tong, it's not serious," Lin Zhen waved her hand again and again, and her body was still a little staggered when she stood up, "I'll just go back and deal with it myself, my son is alone at home, I have to go back early." ”
Tong Lu is also a mother, so she naturally understands Lin Zhen, and carefully checked the injury on her leg, but she still didn't dare to rest assured, "I'll send you back, you have an injury on your leg, and it's not convenient to go home." ”
"Okay, thank you, Sister Tong."
It's not easy to take a taxi here in the film and television city, so Tong Lu called Xiao Li before calling a car.
"Are you really okay?" The blood on Lin Zhen's leg was still dripping down drop by drop, mixed with gravel, and it looked like flesh and blood were blurry.
The people around had already noticed the accident and gathered around, if it weren't for Tong Lu still wearing a mask, I was afraid that it would cause a riot.
"It's fine." Lin Zhen's voice was very soft, and there was a slight shy smile on the corner of her mouth, just like the day the two first met.
Blocking the line of sight of the surrounding exploration, Tong Lu helped Lin Zhen get into the car.
"Sister Tong, ...... you are" Xiao Li was stunned when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the two people, and hurriedly walked up and took a hand, "Do you want to tell Sister Hong?" ”
"No, it's not a big deal." Tong Lu waved her hand and looked at Lin Zhen carefully.
Tong Lu did not prepare a medical kit in the car, so he could only use water to help Lin Zhen treat his wounds first.
"Thank you." Tong Lu pursed her lips, these three words were not as difficult to say as she imagined.
Lin Zhen's lips were a little pale, and there was a faint light in Tong Lu's eyes, "Actually, I should be sorry for Sister Tong, if it weren't for my negligence, there wouldn't be such a big deal......
"It's all gone, and the script has been found." At this moment, Tong Lu felt that her original determination suddenly wavered.
Last time, maybe Lin Zhen really didn't get involved.
"No, it's my fault." Lin Zhen's voice suddenly rose a lot higher, and her eyes were a little more determined, as if she had made some important decision.
Biting her lip, Lin Zhen's hands on her legs suddenly clenched, "I took the money!" ”
Tong Lu's movements paused, his throat seemed to choke on something, and he couldn't speak.
"I took 20,000 yuan from Brother Liu, and he said that he only looked at the script, so I put the script on the table, but ......" Lin Zhen lowered her eyes, covered her face with her hands, and her tone was a little choked.
Lin Zhen didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, but Tong Lu also understood it in her heart.
opened her mouth, Tong Lu wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, they only turned into a helpless sigh.
The carriage suddenly fell silent, the silence continued to spread in the air, and the heart of the depressed atmosphere was beating extremely slowly......
Only Lin Zhen's whispered sobs and heavy breathing kept echoing in Tong Lu's ears.
Lin Zhen's place of residence is not far from the film and television city, and there is no traffic jam on the road, and soon the three of them arrived at a somewhat dilapidated residential building.
Sent Xiao Li away, Tong Lu carefully supported Lin Zhen to stand downstairs, surrounded by some bleak trees, and the fallen leaves were mixed with confetti.
"Sister Tong, I'm sorry." The blood on Lin Zhen's leg had begun to clot, but it still looked a little scary.
Taking a deep breath, Tong Lu reluctantly pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't mention that incident again......"
"I really needed that money at the time, Xiaoqiu was already seven years old, and his illness couldn't be delayed any longer." Lin Zhen covered her face with her hands, as if she had been drained of all her strength, and suddenly fell to the ground.
Tong Lu was shocked, and hurriedly held Gu Qiu's body, "Be careful!" ”
"Let's go up first, your son is still waiting at home." Supporting the weight of most of Lin Zhen's body with both hands, Tong Lu held her breath so that she didn't let herself fall down with her.
The two of them moved one by one for half an hour before going upstairs.
Glancing at the house number above her head, Tong Lu took out a hand and knocked on the door, and before she could take it back, the door opened.
A boy who looked a little thin stood at the door, looking at Tong Lu with a wary face, and then at Lin Zhen.
I don't know why, when his eyes touched the wound on Lin Zhen's body, the boy didn't have any emotional changes, just glanced at it coldly.
"Are you Xiaoqiu?" Tong Lu deliberately lowered her voice, for this boy, she didn't know where to come up with an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and there was some sudden pain.
"Hmm." Gu Qiu stiffened his mouth, responded indifferently, and let go of the door.
Tong Lu looked at the thin back, and always felt a little familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Helping Lin Zhen to sit down, Tong Lu stood in the small living room, a little at a loss, and only stood awkwardly.
The boy sat in a corner, the shadow covering him so that he couldn't see his face clearly, but his dark eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Sister Tong, sit down first." Just when Tong Lu was speechless for a while, Lin Zhen broke the embarrassment in the room.
"I'll go get you a medical kit." Tong Lu's arm that fell on the sidewalk still had a faint pain, raised his hand and rubbed his elbow, and said.
According to Lin Zhen's guidance, Tong Lu found some medicines, and after a simple treatment, she sat down.
"Why are you in the film and television city today?" Tong Lu put away the potion in her hand, took out another tissue and wiped her hands.
Lin Zhen raised her hand and pinned the broken hair in her ear, her eyes kept drooping, and she couldn't see her emotions clearly, "I'm going to find a job...... As soon as I came out, I saw Sister Tong. ”
"That thing ......"
"You don't have to feel embarrassed, it's my fault. I deserve to be fired. Lin Zhen seemed to have figured it out, and no longer cried and complained about being unreasonable like before, but there was more shame in her tone.
Tong Lu pursed her lips and nodded, "It's good that you understand." ”
While the two were talking, the boy sat in place, staring at Tong Lu motionlessly.
"Your son is very handsome." For some reason, Tong Lu's gaze would always unconsciously shift to the boy's body, he was like having magic in his eyes, which could arouse Tong Lu's deep emotions.
Lin Zhen raised his eyes to the boy hiding in the corner and smiled, "He is a little afraid of people, and he doesn't like to talk." ”
Lin Zhen's words made Tong Lu raise her eyebrows, thinking back to the way he faced himself before, it didn't look like he was afraid of people......
However, this is someone else's housework, Tong Lu naturally won't ask more, the corners of her mouth are a little curvature, and she also echoed, "Boys are like this, they don't say it, but they understand it in their hearts." ”
"Xiaoqiu, go and pour a glass of water for Aunt Tong." Lin Zhen waved her hand, her voice was very gentle, but Tong Lu always felt a little weird.
Lin Zhen's slightly stiff tone made Tong Lu frown.
When the boy heard his name, he raised his eyes and glanced here, and the chill in his eyes made Tong Lu a little frightened.
The air was quiet for a moment, and the boy slowly stood up, poured a glass of water and brought it over as Lin Zhen instructed.
"Aunt Tong, drink water."
The boy's hoarse voice startled Tong Lu, relieved himself, took the water cup and just wanted to say something, the boy went straight away and closed the door of the room.
Tong Lu's heart suddenly felt a little heavy, and the dullness that came from nowhere pressed on her heart, and her breathing became a little more laborious.
"Is his name Lin Qiu?" Tong Lu also knew that Lin Zhen was single, so she naturally thought of Tong Shuangshuang.
Lin Zhen was stunned, then laughed, "His name is Gu Qiu." ”
Gu Qiu? Look at?
This is really a very common surname, Tong Lu hooked her lips.
"Is his father's surname Gu?" Tong Lu took a sip of the warm water.
Nodding, I don't know if I remembered anything, Lin Zhen's eyes were a little brighter and sweeter.
"His body ......" Halfway through speaking, Tong Lu's voice suddenly became dumb, she didn't know whether she should ask this question or not, but she inexplicably wanted to care about the boy.
"Congenital heart disease." Lin Zhen's tone was a little more bitter, and the smile froze on her face.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." With a heavy breath, Tong Lu pursed her lips.
"That's why he did that kind of thing," Lin Zhen's voice was a little ethereal, echoing in the air, making people's thoughts sad, "I was really desperate at that time." ”
"Is that enough money?" In fact, when she saw Gu Qiu, Tong Lu's heart had already begun to waver.
She didn't blame Lin Zhen, and even somewhat understood her mood at that time.
Gu Qiu is such a sensible and well-behaved child, no one can bear to watch him disappear like this, let alone his mother.
Biting her lip, Lin Zhen lowered her head, "It's still a little short." ”
Tong Lu's fingers tapped on his leg, and he muttered for a moment, and suddenly spoke, "Come back to work." ”
"Huh?"
Lin Zhen raised her head violently, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Continue to be my assistant," Tong Lu raised her hand and stroked the long hair behind her, only wrapping her fingers with the disobedient hair, pulling her scalp painfully, "Double your salary." ”
"Really...... Are you sure? Lin Zhen wanted to get up, but the injury on her leg made her staggered and fell back.
"Well," Tong Lu nodded solemnly, "I need an assistant anyway, and you're doing a good job, so let's continue." ”
"Thank you......" Lin Zhen didn't seem to have recovered from the shock, and looked at Tong Lu in a daze.
"Don't thank me, you saved me today, otherwise, I would definitely go to the hospital," Tong Lu moved his arm, "And, I want to see your son get better." ”
Leaving this sentence, Tong Lu didn't stay long, glanced at the room where Gu Qiu was with an unclear look, and left directly.
went downstairs, but Tong Lu's hurried footsteps suddenly slowed down.
After standing downstairs for a moment, Tong Lu suddenly turned around and looked upstairs.
His eyes were on Gu Qiu, who was lying on the window and looking down.
