Lu Li was helped by his father into the infusion room of the town hospital.

She's going to have to get a needle nutrient solution here for an hour, and then check it when she's done. Lu Li didn't refuse his father, and after sitting down, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Guowei's face, "I'm fine, I've eaten too little these days." ”

"Well, stop scaring Dad, okay? Wait a minute, you must eat and rest, do you still feel uncomfortable, don't bear to say it. Lu Guowei spoke softly and softly, and helped Lu Li to sit on the chair.

Lu Li went to look at Lin Lin who was standing on the side and looked at her, and when she came out just now, she was really surprised to see that he was also there.

"Why are you here, I'm fine, it's low blood sugar." Lu Li actually felt quite dizzy, and he didn't dare to open his eyes when he looked at Lin Lone.

Lin Lin saw that she was still very uncomfortable, and she was holding on too obviously.

"Stop talking, close your eyes and rest, and finish this bottle of nutrient solution before talking." Lin Lin curled the corners of his mouth at Lu Li, his eyes staring at the large bottle of hanging needles that had just been played.

Lu Guowei glanced at Xu Wei, "Let's go out to smoke a cigarette, Lu Li, don't move." As he spoke, he stood up and motioned for Xu Wei to go out with him.

Lu Li hummed very softly, leaned his head back in the chair, and closed his eyes.

The nutrient solution is almost bottoming out, and Lu Guowei and Xu Wei have not returned. Lin Liang guarded Lu Li, and basically didn't say a few words to her, Lu Li really couldn't hold on, and his eyes didn't open a few times.

Lin Lin thought about things alone, and his eyes slowly emptying when he looked up at the infusion bottle.

"What do you want?" Suddenly, Lu Li's voice was heard in his ears, and Lin Lin immediately came back to his senses and looked at Lu Li, who was staring at him with a pair of big eyes.

"I'll call the nurse." Lin Lin glanced at the infusion bottle that was about to finish, got up to call the nurse, and when she came back, she stood a little far away and looked at Lu Li, her whole person was a lot more angry than before.

The nurse went over and pulled out the needle, Lu Li took the alcohol cotton ball and pressed the needle by herself, and raised her eyes to see Lin Lin walking back, "I'm delaying your business again, who told you, I remember that before I passed out, you weren't around." ”

Lin Lin sat on the vacant seat next to Lu Li, "No one specifically told me that I was just going to your side to ask for information, and your colleague said, how do you feel." ”

"It's okay, I can go." Lu Li said and stood up.

The two of them didn't see Lu Guowei and Xu Wei when they got out of the town hospital, so Lu Li said that they didn't have to leave them alone, and Lin Lin didn't want her to stand outside for more, after all, as soon as the low blood sugar eased up, he took Lu Li to the place where he parked.

On the way, Lu Li tilted his head against the car window and didn't make a sound, and Lin Lin glanced at her every once in a while to make sure she was okay.

Lu Li felt Lin Li's worried gaze, and when Lin Lin looked over again, she pulled the corners of her mouth and looked at her, "I'm fine, you drive safely." ”

Lin Li's eyes were stunned, he hadn't heard Lu Li speak in such a tone for a long time, and he still liked to hear her talk like this.

Lu Li didn't say much, and when Lin Lin turned her head, she picked up her mobile phone and looked at it, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Song Yichen has already lived in my small house." ”

"Yes." Lin Lin replied, but the struggling back of Zuo Na dragging her suitcase alone at the station appeared in front of her.

When the car stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light, Lu Li also took her eyes off the screen of her mobile phone, she looked at the vehicles and pedestrians that continued to pass in front of the window, and suddenly said to Lin Li, "I think you have something to say to me, and you have been holding back without exiting." ”

Lin Lin paused, with his fingers lightly tapping on the steering wheel. He turned his eyes to look at Lu Li, his eyes flashing slightly, "What have you heard?" ”

Lu Li glanced at the indicator light that had just turned green, raised his hand and pointed to the car window, "It's green, drive." ”

After Lin Lin drove through the intersection, the speed of the car slowed down, and then he didn't finish speaking, "Did you hear something, or saw something?" ”

Lu Li continued to lean her head against the window, she didn't like to sit like this, just because she really didn't have much strength, so sitting like this saved effort.

She was just about to speak, but the car stopped directly on the side of the road, and Lu Li looked out in wonder, "Why did you park." ”

Lin Lin stretched out his hand and pushed open the car door on his side, "I'll buy something, wait a minute." With that, he got out of the car and walked straight to a small grocery store on the side of the road.

Lu Li kept looking at the door, Lin Lin soon came out with a bag of things, and Lu Li saw that the bag contained several bottles of water. Lin Lin opened the door and got into the car, and handed the bag in his hand to Lu Li, "There is this kind of drink here, you open it and drink it, I asked the nurse, after low blood sugar, you should pay attention to replenishing water and sugar, drink it quickly." ”

The car started again, Lu Li obediently unscrewed a bottle of water and took a sip, she rarely drinks these sugary drinks, and she is not used to it.

Lin Lin glanced at her and said in a relaxed tone, "I know that you rarely drink this kind of drink, and now in special circumstances, you should experience life." ”

After listening to this, Lu Li picked up the drink and took a sip.

"Answer me when you're done, I'll talk about it when you're done." Lin Lin watched Lu Li drink a drink out of the corner of his eye, and said slowly, and the speed of the car slowed down.

Lu Li twisted the lid of the drink, put the water on his lap, and this time sat up straight, without tilting his head against the car window.

"My instinct for you is that it has always been quite accurate, I didn't see or hear anything, but when I was confused just now, I suddenly had this thought in my head...... Listen to what you just said, you really have something to say to me. ”

Lin Lin knew that Lu Li was looking at him, so he looked ahead and nodded silently.

"Then you can say it."

Lin Lin couldn't hold back, he still turned his head to look at Lu Li, and said in a ruthless whisper, "I'm leaving Qibao Town tonight and leaving at nine o'clock in the evening...... I couldn't come back to attend the farewell ceremony of Director He's body, I'm sorry. ”

The last three words were a little difficult to come out, and after speaking, I swallowed my throat hard, and I didn't feel relaxed. Lin Lin thought that he would no longer be entangled after saying the words, but unfortunately he didn't.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Lu Li listened to his words and didn't give any reaction, so he hurriedly went to see Lu Li again.

Lu Li's face seemed to be worse than just now.

After reading it, he looked away, and then moved it back, and the other words that he wanted to say more were even more difficult to speak.

Lin Lin could see Lu Li's face on the surface, but he couldn't see the change in her heart at the moment, he didn't know that what he said just now was making Lu Li's heart sink.

She thought that when that day came, he would definitely be by her side, and she could rely on him if she encountered something. But what did he just say?

After his mind went blank for a moment, Lu Li coughed lightly, and turned his head to meet Lin Lian's gaze again, this time he didn't care if it was safe to drive, she just wanted to confirm what she had just heard.

"You're telling me that you're leaving Qibao Town tonight, and you won't be able to join when I send my mom away? yes, I didn't get it right. ”

Lin Lin didn't speak for a while, looking at the road conditions as if he didn't dare to be distracted to answer this.

Lu Li stared at Lin Li's side face tightly, stubbornly waiting to hear an answer.

"Lu Li," Lin Lin said, "I left suddenly because I had something I had to go, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Li felt that he didn't understand, "What should I do if the mural is relocated, but you are gone at such an important time?" ”

Lin Li's breathing became heavier, "That incident...... More important, more need for me. ”

Lu Li was stunned, and the feeling of a little chill on her back and a chill came again, and she said in a hurry, "It's more important, I need you to ...... more" The next second, she suddenly understood, and her face turned pale several times, "Don't tell me, it's the ...... of that case"

She remembered what she had heard from Xu Wei, about the case of the transnational resale of cultural relics two years ago, which made Lin Lin almost blind forever.

In Lin Li's eyes, the more important thing than the relocation of the mural in front of him is probably only the aftermath of that case, Lu Li remembered that there was a very important criminal in that case, and all parties were worried that the group would resurrect and find Lin Li.

Lu Li is thinking about this aspect.

The car had already driven to the parking lot of the Qibao Hotel at this time, Lin Lin stopped the car, turned his head and looked at Lu Li quietly, and could clearly see the fear in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Lin Xiao felt that his throat was astringent, and he regretted telling Lu Li directly. He felt that in this way, it was better for him to say goodbye again.

A few seconds later, Lu Li shook her head as if reflexively, suddenly reacted to something, and looked down at the drink that Lin Lin bought for her on her lap to replenish her sugar.

"I see, you're not going to do anything more important than the relocation of the mural," she endured, and continued word by word, "It's the person behind the case who hasn't been cleaned up, and he's coming for you, and the police want to protect you and hide you...... Are you going to go back to Irbin without saying goodbye? ”

Lu Li's brain was racing rapidly, and he thought of this.

Lin Lin took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a look of surprise, "You know all about the case two years ago. Lu Li," so far, he could only choose to lie to Lu Li, "My safety is fine, you guessed right, it is the relevant departments that need my assistance in matters related to cultural relics, but there is absolutely no danger, it is just time to catch up with the present." ”

Lu Li actually couldn't listen to it at all.

"Okay, I know, you don't have to say I'm sorry, you're not my brother or me...... Husband, you have no obligation to accompany me to send my mother away, I will go back to rest. Lu Li said, pushed the car door and got out of the car.

Lin Lin sat in the driver's seat and opened his mouth, he wanted to stop Lu Li, but he didn't make a sound.

He couldn't tell her what the truth was.

- It was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Lin opened the door of the room, walked out with his backpack on his back, raised his eyes to look at the closed door on the other side of the corridor, and remembered that the WeChat he sent to Lu Li an hour ago had not received a reply, so he still walked over and knocked on the door lightly.

There was no movement inside the door.

Lin Lin tightened the backpack strap on his shoulder, and knocked lightly on the door twice, "Lu Li, I'm leaving, you pay attention to your body, send me something> there is still no sound in the door."

Lin Lin didn't say anything anymore, turned his head and went straight to the elevator entrance, and set off on time.

——

Two days later, the funeral began at 8 a.m. sharp.

When Xu Wei was about to preside over the ceremony as the representative of the film crew, he received a WeChat message from Lin Lin on his mobile phone, asking him how Lu Li's status was.

"It looks okay, but I don't know if I can stand it when I go to cremation." Xu Wei honestly expressed his worries.

Lin Lin quickly came back, "When will the cremation start?" ”

Xu Wei thought for a moment and hurriedly replied, "In half an hour, I'm going to support the farewell ceremony now, don't say it, I'll take care of Lu Li." ”

It had been raining lightly since the second half of last night, and now it was raining even harder, and the temperature had dropped several degrees compared to yesterday, and everyone who came to the farewell ceremony had added clothes.

Lu Li wore a slim-fitting one-piece black dress today, with black leggings and black sneakers, inside and out, which He Linxi bought for her when she was admitted to graduate school.

Usually, Lu Li dislikes this style very much, so the skirt is almost never worn. But a few months ago, when he followed He Linxi to Qibao Town, he didn't know which tendon to tie the wrong tendon and put this skirt in the suitcase.

When she took it out and hung it up last night, Lu Li felt that there were many small things, which secretly indicated that she and her mother would have such a difference, but she didn't feel it at all at that time.

She felt that on the occasion of saying goodbye to her mother today, it was perfect to wear this dress.

At the end of the series of processes, Lu Li's face was expressionless and nodded to each guest who walked in front of him, and soon it was time for the cremation to begin.

According to custom, Lu Li, as He Linxi's only child, was going to the cremation waiting room with Lu Guowei, and he had to wait there, wait for the cremation to end, and retrieve He Linxi's ashes.

Lu Li was afraid.

This sense of fear was the same as when she was very young when she was glared at and scolded by He Linxi for the first time, when she was so afraid that her mother would not like her and would give her away.

Now she is even more afraid, the moment she picks up her mother's ashes with her own hands, she doesn't know if she can stop.

She felt like she couldn't do it now. But that door still has to be crossed.

Lu Li gritted his teeth and walked into the ash waiting room with Lu Guowei......

Xu Wei was waiting for them outside the door, remembering the last time he saw He Linxi's appearance just now, his eyes turned red again. He turned to face the wall, lowering his head to avoid the eyes of those around him.

A hand holding a tissue suddenly reached out in front of him.

Xu Wei looked at the person's face with his hand, and after seeing it clearly, his eyes were stunned, "You, why are you here!" ”

— more than forty minutes later.

Lu Li held his mother's ashes and walked out of the waiting room, Lu Guowei followed her, his eyes always staring at the urn in his daughter's hand.

When he was inside just now, after He Linxi's ashes were taken out, Lu Guowei originally wanted to pick up the ashes into the urn with Lu Li, but Lu Li blocked him.

"I'll do it myself, my mom shouldn't want you to do this."

Lu Guowei was afraid that his insistence would stimulate his daughter, and he was afraid that her already fragile nerves would collapse suddenly, so he stood aside without saying anything and watched Lu Li do it himself.

Lu Li felt that when she put her mother's ashes in the urn, her fingers could still feel the heat, she couldn't help but think about the scene of the body burning in the flames, and when she thought of what her mother's body had just experienced, her heart began to ache one after another.

She walked forward slowly, for fear that she would accidentally fall and would not be able to hold her mother's ashes. She also felt that each of her hands holding the urn seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost, cold to the bone.

And the urn in her hand is getting hotter and hotter, and it is starting to feel a little hot.

Don't let go, hold on to your feet, don't be afraid...... Lu Li silently did one mental construction after another for himself in his heart.

"Lu Li."

Suddenly, he heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice, calling his name in a low voice, and Lu Li reacted slowly and followed the voice to find it.

She saw Xu Wei first, but she knew that it was definitely not Uncle Xu who called her just now, so she looked at Xu Wei again...... A tall figure was walking towards her.

Lu Li looked at it blankly, the person couldn't stand steadily, her body shook a little, and she saw the figure running towards her.

It was he, the one who said that he could not come to the funeral of the remains, and he still came.
