I returned home depressed, and as soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Brother Scumbag sitting on a bench smoking, his expression was soothing, his face was ruddy, compared to lying on the bed and rolling around before, at this time, Brother Scumbag's whole body exuded a healthy atmosphere.

"Brother scumbag, don't you have a stomachache?"

I walked up to the scum brother and carefully observed his expression.

Brother Scumbag stared at me and spat on my cigarette, I waved my hand and asked again: "That, the phone was broken, and I didn't have money to buy medicine, so I just..."

"If I expected your kid to help me buy medicine to cure my illness, then I would have signed the life and death book of Lord Yama a long time ago."

I smiled and scratched my head, and saw the mist wafting from the large aluminum pot, and the smell of meat was so fragrant that I couldn't help but swallow.

"Why did the phone break?"

Brother Scum looked at me, and saw that there was red blood on my sleeves, shoes, and the back of my hands, and at this time the blood had dried up and turned into a dull purple-black, Brother Scum frowned: "Fighting with others again?" ”

"Hey, it's hard to put into words."

I walked to the edge of the pool, turned on the faucet, and carefully washed my hands, only to see that there were several bloody cuts on my knuckles, which were very eye-catching, and the skin was open, which was shocking.

I gritted my teeth, hated and disgusted by what had happened, and I let out a long sigh and dried my face with a towel as the water cleared my dry eyes and soaked my chapped lips.

"When you go out to buy medicine, you can also fight with people, because of what is the fight?"

Brother Scumbag held a cigarette and stood behind me, he was alone, alone, and the cold wind blew, and he looked a little lonely.

"It's nothing, I met two actors who are learning to act."

I hung the towel on the clothes pole, walked to the aluminum pot on the stove, lifted the lid, and saw the lamb chops stewed in the pot, the fragrance was lingering, the vegetable soup was rolling, and the mutton that had been deboned floated on it, with the boiling soup rolling up and down, I drooled, covered the pot, and said to the scumbag: "How do you think of stewed lamb chops." ”

"I didn't buy it, Qin Yan bought it when he came back from the hospital, he said that everyone has been working hard lately, drink some mutton soup to replenish their bodies."

Brother Scumbag walked to the side of the pot, lifted the lid of the pot, and stirred it a few times with a spatula.

"Qin Yan is back?"

I rubbed my eyes, I didn't sleep all night, I just felt like I was in a trance, I looked sluggish, lit a cigarette, I sat down on the bench, and smoked.

"Came back and left."

"What are you doing?"

I stared at the old laurel tree in the yard in a daze, on the dry branches, a touch of green stained the crown, the small young leaves are dotted, delicate, such as the dead wood in spring, a long drought to welcome the rain, life will not end at one time, just like the osmanthus tree in front of me, although I can't see its annual rings, but everything in the world lives because of green, and green is eternal because of the existence of the tree, it can shade the sun, shelter from the wind and rain, it is selfless, old, forever, just like our parents.

"Hey, what are you doing, are you sleepy?"

Brother Scum pushed me, pushing me from the sentimental fantasy, the cigarette ash fell on the shoe, I bent down and dusted it with my hand, and saw the painful blood stain on the tip of the shoe, I frowned, straightened up, looked at Brother Scumbag and said, "What did I ask you just now?" ”

Brother Scumbag glanced at me and sneered, "You asked me what Qin Tong was doing." ”

"yes, what are you doing?"

I took a puff and snuffed out the butt.

"He went shopping with two girls surnamed Zhang and Qin."

"Shopping? He doesn't know Qin Xiaolan and Zhang Xueyao yet, how can he go shopping? ”

I was puzzled, I didn't expect Qin Yan to have a woman's fate, and I was about to introduce Jean to Zhang Xueyao, it seems that there are many good things, let them understand each other slowly, I also have more than one move.

I stood up, walked back to the basement, took off the bloodstained sneakers, and just wanted to collapse on the bed, when I saw a piece of paper pasted above the bed, which was written by Xiao Ran: You may not be radiant, but you are always warm and bright.

I tore off the blank paper, crumpled it into a ball, threw it on the ground, sighed, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

In my sleep, I came to a paradise like a fairyland, only to see the mountains and mountains, the lush forest and bamboo, the flowing water, the reflection belt left and right, the distant purple sunset light connected into a continuous line, the clear stream murmuring through the dense peach blossom forest, flowing water and clear stream, falling flowers colorful, a peach blossom standing in the wind, fighting for beauty, a beautiful woman leaning in the forest, slender waist, eyebrows like eyes, this person is Xue Xinyan who I thought about for a long time.

"Xinyan?"

I walked forward quickly, I hadn't taken a few steps, I only heard a bang, I bumped into a flat surface like a glass cover, I pushed it with my hand, the plane did not move at all, a bit like the big cover of the American drama "Under the Dome", and a bit like a kind of magic enchantment, ordinary people can't cross it, I was shocked, cold sweat flowed, and roared loudly: "Xinyan, Xinyan, can you see me?" ”

Xue Xinyan was dressed in white, like a fairy, holding a peach blossom fan, her head was swaying with gold, her cheeks and her movements were like a beauty walking out of the painting, she seemed to hear my shout, slowly turned around, I waved my hands excitedly, and continued to shout: "I'm here, I'm here." ”

Xue Xinyan's beautiful eyes were longing, staring at me for a long time, but she didn't notice my existence, she paused, her eyelids drooped, as if there were thousands of things pouring into her heart, and there was nowhere to tell, sad and sad, like a dim rose, like a withered plum blossom, I saw my heart like a knife, speechless and choked.

Suddenly, a torrential rain fell from the sky, diluting all the beautiful scenery in the world, the pouring rain fell on the glass cover, the vision became hazy, I couldn't see Xue Xinyan's figure, only listened to the sound of the rain hitting the cover, the lightning was shining, the thunder was rolling, I cried heartbreakingly, I couldn't cry, I had never been so lonely and lonely as at this moment, desolate and helpless.

"Hey, wake up, muttering something."

I was woken up by Brother Scum, and found that I was holding a pillow, curled up in the corner of the bed, bean-sized sweat covered my forehead, I took a long breath and said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Are you having nightmares again?"

Brother Scumbag bent down to pick up the quilt that had fallen on the ground and threw it on the bed.

I pushed the quilt aside, sat on the edge of the bed, and rubbed my face with my hands, sweat and tears mixed together, sticky on my palms.

Brother Scumbag handed me a towel and said lightly: "You may have been too tired recently, let's rest at home for a few days, get up and wash your face, and let's drink two sips to relieve fatigue." ”

I took a towel and wiped my face haphazardly, changed into short sleeves, and walked out of the basement with my coat on.

The mutton was completely stewed, and Brother Slag served it in an iron basin, steamed a plate of pig's head meat, mixed a plate of cucumber cold vegetables, and placed a bottle of sorghum wine on the table, with two delicate wine glasses next to it.

I walked to the sink, washed my face, sat on a bench and lit a cigarette.

"Hasn't Qin Yan come back yet?"

"No, they'll call me, saying they're eating out with those two girls."

Brother Scumbag unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and poured the wine to the full.

I wanted to take out my phone to check the time, only to find that my phone had been torn apart, I looked at the scumbag brother and said, "Brother scumbag, can you still use your old man's machine?" ”

"It works, but you have to recharge it first."

I stood up, walked back to the basement, rummaged through Brother Scum's bed, only to find the old mobile phone, plugged in the charger, I went back to the yard and sat down next to Brother Scum.

"How is Xiao Ran now?"

Brother Scumbag picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and put another piece of rib meat in my bowl.

"My mood is basically stable, but I don't seem to be as close as before."

I pinched the corner of the rib with my hand, stuffed a large lump of meat below into my mouth, with a little force, the mutton was boneless, I chewed gently, nodded slightly, and showed a satisfied look on my face.

I knocked the cup with Brother Scum, and said lightly: "Xiao Ran doesn't trust me much now, I pushed her to Du Chenyu, and I am mainly responsible for such a big thing." ”

I drank half a glass in one gulp, the strong smell of wine filled my head, I only felt that my head was swollen terribly, and I hurriedly ate a bite of cucumber cold vegetables before it eased slightly.

"Hey, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, just be at ease, Du Chenyu is better than you in terms of economic conditions and education, if she adopts Xiao Ran, it will not be a good thing."

Brother Scumbag said to himself, but I was melancholy in my heart, extremely lost, glanced at him, I whispered: "Feelings are slowly accumulated, I saw that Xiao Ran was helpless and lonely, so I was kind and took her home, but who would have thought that there would be so many headaches in the later stage." ”

"You've just done too much good deeds, it's time to think about living for yourself."

Brother scumbag smacked, it looked like a camel ruminating, I looked away, when I thought of Xue Xinyan in my dream, my heart was full of mixed feelings, and an indescribable sourness filled me, making me miss it immensely and blame myself.

I picked up my wine glass, drank the remaining half of the wine, stood up and said, "I'm full, go to the hospital to see Xiao Ran." ”

"I'm full after only a few bites, isn't there Du Chenyu over there to accompany the bed? Let's go again tomorrow morning. ”

Brother Scumbag turned around and looked at me with a surprised face.

I wiped the wine stains from the corners of my mouth, walked out of the yard without looking back, and as soon as I walked out into the street, the scumbag brother chased after me.

"Hey, wait, you don't have cash, how can you pay for a taxi?"

Brother Scumbag panted and took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to me.

"I'll give it back to you when I buy my phone tomorrow."

I stuffed the money into my trouser pocket, my face overflowing with indescribable gratitude, no matter what time it was, the scumbag brother was the one who knew me best.

"People look like dogs, get out, pay attention to safety on the road."

Brother Scumbag let out a long sigh, patted me on the shoulder, and slowly walked in the direction of the yard.

I stopped to watch, the back of the scumbag brother disappeared on the street corner, although he did not have a strong back, but he always invisibly gave people a kind of comfort.

I walked into the fruit supermarket on the side of the road, bought some of Xiao Ran's favorite fruits, and took a taxi to the inpatient department.

Before I walked into the ward, I heard bursts of laughter from inside, Xiao Ran's singing rose and fell, provocative, I was surprised for a moment, walked to the door, clenched the handle, and was just about to push the door in, I heard Xiao Ran shouting excitedly: "Uncle Du is singing a song with me, singing a song with me, haha." ”

I palpitated in my heart, easily opened the handle, there was an indescribable bitter and sweet in my heart, sad and sad, a strong sense of loss instantly surrounded me, I took two steps back, and sat weakly on the rest chair in the corridor, looking lonely and gloomy.

There was a noise at the end of the corridor, the sound came from far and near, stimulating my eardrums, I looked up and saw Qin Yan carrying a big bag of snacks in his hand, and was happily walking towards this side, Qin Xiaolan and Zhang Xueyao were on both sides of him, with a radiant and graceful look, like two larks, chirping non-stop, it seemed that the three of them were having a good time today, they were so compatible, so sunny, and every movement exuded a youthful atmosphere like a glow.

I hurriedly wiped my eyes, carried the fruit bag, and wanted to walk away from the other side of the corridor, but as soon as I stood up, I heard someone shouting: "Xiaotao? ”
