As I spoke, I glanced at Tang Yan.

Tang Yan didn't seem to intend to steal my words, just stared at Lu Shun.

After a short silence, about half a minute later, Lu Shun sat up from the hospital bed, looked at me, let out a long sigh, and then came out of his mouth a string of staccato syllables.

It seemed that his language skills were indeed severely impaired, and it took me a lot of effort to make out that these syllables were put together and should be said "before and after Qingming Festival".

Lu Shun couldn't say any more, so he just sat on the bed and sighed.

I asked him, "If you lose your language skills, your ability to read and write should not be affected, right?" ”

A very brief moment of surprise flashed on Lu Shun's face, and he nodded at me.

I turned to Liang Zi: "Brother Liang, I need paper and pen, take more paper." ”

Liang Zi nodded quickly, and then hurriedly left the ward.

Liang Zi's efficiency was very high, and in less than three minutes, he got back a signature pen and a thick notebook.

Lu Shun also seemed to be in a hurry to pour, so he immediately took the paper and pen, and lay down on the bedside kitchen to write hard.

He wrote so quickly that his handwriting became very sloppy, but even so, it took him a long time to write down his entire story, and when he stopped, blisters appeared on the hand that held the pen.

I didn't plan to study his experience in the madhouse, so I asked Liang Zi to stay near the madhouse, and I left the hospital with Sister Ma and Tang Yan and booked a hotel near Xiangyang Road.

By the way, why is there such a road called "Xiangyang Road" all over the country?

In our room on the eighteenth floor of the hotel, we finally opened the notebook full of handwriting.

The content of these things written by Lu Shun is rather messy, so I will retell his experience according to my own memory.

First of all, I would like to introduce Lu Shun, his hometown is Hunan, born in the 80s, a professional electrician, worked in a power company for a period of time in his early years, and later because his wife had liver disease, he took his wife around to see a doctor, quit his job, and went to do odd jobs wherever he sought medical treatment.

Around the Qingming Festival, Lu Shun got on the bus of Jinghai in front of him, and Jinghai was his wife's hometown.

Before the car entered the territory of Jinghai, Lu Shun always knew that he had a very important thing to do when he came to Jinghai this time, but when the car entered the Jinghai area, he felt that his head was so confused that he forgot what he was going to do when he came to Jinghai.

At that time, Lu Shun first felt that his brain was confused, and then he felt that his arm was very heavy, but he forgot where he was and what he was going to do next.

He turned his head, looked out of the window, and saw "Jinghai Xikou Station" obliquely on the exit of the expressway, and then he suddenly realized that he was sitting on the bus, and the destination of this trip was Jinghai.

But why did you come to Jinghai?

Lu Shun frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't have any clue, he lowered his head in distraught, looked at his heavy arm, and found that he was holding an urn. There was also an open carrying bag on his left leg, and it seemed that the urn should have been placed in this bag before, but Lu Shun had forgotten when he took it out, and he had forgotten whose urn it was.

"Whose bone ...... is this," Lu Shun couldn't help but mutter.

Before he could finish speaking, a very familiar voice came from beside him: "Oh, why did you take out your uncle's urn, put it back quickly!" ”

The person who spoke was called Jing Yi, she was Lu Shun's wife, in Lu Shun's impression, Jing Yi was a very short-tempered woman, her temper and her name did not match her name at all, the reason why he married Jing Yi in the first place was only because he needed a marriage certificate in order to give an explanation to his parents who were looking forward to him starting a family.

After Jingyi fell ill, he took her around to seek medical treatment, not because of how deep the relationship between the two people was, but because in Lu Shun's eyes, this is a man's responsibility.

In fact, he hoped that this woman would die as soon as possible, so that both of them could be liberated.

Today's Jingyi looked a little unusual, she didn't take the opportunity to blame Lu Shun like she did on weekdays, and while she spoke, she dragged Lu Shun's hand with her own hand, and asked Lu Shun to stuff the jar back into the carrying bag and pull the zipper.

Lu Shun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately the others didn't see the urn in his hand, otherwise, maybe he would get into trouble again, he is a person who is particularly afraid of trouble.

Jingyi thought that the light outside the car was too bright, so she asked Lu Shun to close the curtains.

Lu Shun closed the curtain and glanced towards the exit of the expressway, and couldn't help muttering: "Why did you run to Jinghai?" ”

Jing Yi said angrily: "Isn't it to choose a cemetery for my uncle, he is just a relative like me, so this matter is on us." I've already contacted Jinghai's residence, you hurry up and find a job, or we'll both have to drink the northwest wind, do you hear? ”

Lu Shun lowered his head without saying a word, staring at his calloused hands.

Speaking of which, Lu Shun really forgot when Jingyi's uncle died, and also forgot that they came to Jinghai this time to choose a grave for this old man who was also short-tempered, he only knew that the money to buy the grave must come out of his own savings, and now it is so expensive to buy a tomb, but the coffin book he left behind has almost been spent by this woman.

Why isn't she dead yet?

Even if he thought so in his heart, Lu Shun would still treat her without hesitation, this was his responsibility as a husband, and in his eyes, he had no other choice.

At noon, Lu Shun and Jingyi got off the bus at Jinghai Bus Station, and next, they planned to go to an old building in the western suburbs of Jinghai to have a look, Jingyi contacted the residence there in advance, and it is said that she also paid for the room for half a month in advance.

Lu Shun couldn't figure out where Jingyi got the money to pay the rent, and what kind of person would rent his house for half a month and half a month.

But Lu Shun didn't want to ask too much, because if she asked too much, Jingyi might lose her temper again, Lu Shun was not afraid of her, but every time she lost her temper, Lu Shun felt very troublesome.

When he arrived in the western suburbs, Lu Shun learned that the "old building" in Jingyi's mouth was simply a dangerous building surrounded by wild grass and construction waste.

The devil knows how many years the building has been around, the glass on many of the windows has been shattered, and there is even a very long crack in the wall to the left of the building.

"Just live here?" Lu Shun pointed to the building and looked at Jingyi with disbelief.

Jingyi looked very impatient: "With our little money, where do you want to live?" I have to save money to buy it for my uncle. ”

Lu Shun was a little anxious: "Now the cemetery is so expensive, how can I afford my little money!" ”

This was Lu Shun's only protest in the past five years, but Jingyi didn't seem to hear his voice, and walked straight towards the old building.

Lu Shun sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, carrying a carrying bag containing an urn and luggage that could be held in a small bag, and kept up with Jingyi's footsteps.

This duffel bag is too small, not even as big as the carrying bag for the urn, and there are only a few changes of clothes from Lu Shun in it, and other than that, there are not even the most basic toiletries.

And Jing Yi, who was walking in front, was empty-handed, and her feet were strangely light.

Lu Shun looked at his duffel bag and felt a little panicked.

Why just like that, I can't leave a big bag of luggage in the car.

But when I think about it, I seem to have brought such a little thing with me when I went out.

As for why he didn't bring other supplies needed for life, Lu Shun couldn't remember.

The interior of the old building is more shocking than the shell of the building, the corridor is covered with dust, the paint on the wall is peeling off, revealing the bare red bricks, the staircase handrails have collapsed almost completely, and even a large section of the staircase is dilapidated, the cement is falling off, and the steel bars are exposed like this.

Lu Shun couldn't help frowning: "Can you live in this kind of place?" ”

As he was talking, a fat man ran down from the upper floor, and when he ran past Lu Shun, he was still grinning at Lu Shun, and said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "New residents are here, good, hehehe......"

Looking at the smile on the man's face, Lu Shun suddenly shuddered, as if there was a chill that jumped up his neck along his back.

"Hurry up, a big man, grinding all day long, like an old mother!"

Jing Yi's foul tone echoed above the staircase, and Lu Shun sighed helplessly and quickened his pace slightly.

Although the old building is dilapidated, the place where they live is quite clean, it is a medium-sized room with two bedrooms and one living room, which is fully furnished, and the sink and toilet in the toilet are also brand new, in addition, the fabric sofa in the living room and the wall-mounted color TV Lu Shun also likes it very much.

If such a house is placed in a relatively new building, the rent will definitely not be cheap, but fortunately, this place is remote enough, and the building is dilapidated like this, it must not cost a few dollars to get it.

For a moment, Lu Shun actually felt that Jingyi was a good woman who knew how to run a house.

But he soon came to his senses.

It's a delusion.

Jingyi walked around the room in a hurry, and said that she was going out in a hurry, saying that she was going to show her uncle the cemetery, so that Lu Shun could hurry up and find a job close to her residence.

Lu Shun, as usual, instructed Jingyi to go out with medicine, pay attention to safety on the road, go out, and don't have conflicts with strangers.

Jing Yi taunted Lu Shun with vicious words as always, saying that he was a big man mixed up like he was now, and he was not qualified to teach himself how to do things.

This is a compulsory course every day, and Lu Shun has long become a habit.

It wasn't until Jing Yi went out that Lu Shun suddenly reflected that Jing Yi's condition seemed to have improved, she used to walk with heavy steps, and her body seemed to collapse at any time, but now, her steps have become light and agile in line with her weight.
