Chapter 23: Chopping Wood
Su Shimo and Ye Jiu walked tremblingly in front. The two weak women both hoped that the people behind would not follow up.
But as they moved, the people behind them followed again, and seemed to go faster and faster. Ye Jiu was extremely frightened in her heart, she grabbed Su Shimo's hand and didn't dare to look behind her.
This is not the way to go.
Su Shimo looked at the corner in front of him, and secretly glanced at the people who were still following them.
Su Shimo took Ye Jiu's hand, walked quickly to the left, and turned into the corner.
Gu Jinglan followed behind them, watching them walk faster and faster, and there were no street lights in front of them. Gu Jinglan wanted to follow them and call them back, but as soon as they cornered, they disappeared.
When he chased him around the corner, he was greeted by a head-on blow and anti-wolf spray.
"Let you stalk us!" Ye Jiu kicked him hard, "Let you follow!" Let you follow! I'll beat you to death! ”
And Su Shimo was spraying desperately on the side.
A whole bottle was almost sprayed on her.
"Yes...... It's me. Gu Jinglan was beaten to the point that he couldn't even finish his words, and he couldn't fight back, so it was hard to hide. As soon as he moved, those sanda memories engraved in his muscles would surely hurt them all.
"It's your grandma!" Ye Jiu was still playing with his hands and feet.
Su Shimo's hand shook and stopped.
This voice is familiar to her. In seven years, I could hear the sound in my dreams a thousand times.
"Susu, don't stop, hurry, fight with me." Ye Jiu was on the rise, and this hooligan was too easy to deal with, which simply fueled her arrogance.
"Ahem."
Su Shimo coughed and pulled Ye Jiu's sleeve: "Don't fight." ”
Ye Jiu stopped: "How can you not fight?" ”
After saying that, he kicked it with his feet.
"......" Su Shimo pulled her over, attached it to her ear, and said, "Gu Jinglan." ”
"What do I care about him......" Ye Jiu suddenly paused.
Turning his head stiffly to look at Su Shimo, his mouth was as big as a quail egg.
Su Shimo closed his eyes and nodded heavily.
"......" Ye Jiu slipped behind Su Shimo with an arrow step, poked his head out, and looked at the man in front of him who was beaten by them to the wall and stood up.
Otherwise, let's get out of the way.
Before he had the strength to catch them.
Su Shimo pulled Ye Jiu, and as soon as his footsteps moved, he heard the person on the other side: "Stop." ”
Gu Jinglan didn't say anything about the pain in his body at this time, and he didn't know what was sprayed by the sea of eyes, and he couldn't open his eyes now.
But as soon as Su Shimo's tail cocked, he knew what she was going to do.
"Don't run." So as soon as the other party lifted his foot, he spoke up. Gu Jinglan couldn't see anything now, he stretched out his hand and said, "Come here, help me." ”
Su Shimo pulled Ye Jiu in front, but Ye Jiu was not very reluctant.
Gu Jinglan on the opposite side spoke up again: "Su Shimo." ”
Very good, this time the roll call is directly named.
Su Shimo sighed, resigned himself to Gu Jinglan's side and used it as a crutch, who let her spray the anti-wolf spray.
Gu Jinglan's car sent Jian Chu home, and they could only help him back to Ye Jiu's car.
When they returned to the car, Ye Jiu reacted in hindsight, and they were not wrong. Who told him to follow them? He deserved to be beaten.
"What are you doing with us?" Ye Jiu asked him angrily.
"Nope." Gu Jinglan said, "I'll take a walk." ”
"You went for a walk behind us?" Ye Jiu didn't believe it at all.
"Yes." Gu Jinglan said.
"Go to the hospital, his eyes need to be treated." Su Shimo made a sound and interrupted the two elementary school chickens pecking each other.
Ye Jiu glanced at Gu Jinglan in the rearview mirror, and then concentrated on driving. Gu Jinglan closed his eyes and rested on the back seat. Su Shimo glanced back and forth at the two children, and shook his head helplessly.
They went to the hospital, took care of Gu Jinglan's eyes, and then planned to send him back.
The doctor said that although it was not too serious, he could not see anything for the time being. When I asked the doctor when he would recover, the doctor only said that it would depend on his physical condition.
At this time, Gu Jinglan was like a hot potato.
After asking Gu Jinglan for the address, Ye Jiu and Su Shimo sent him to his house. While Su Shimo sent him into the bedroom, Ye Jiu slipped away.
ran fast, afraid that Su Shimo would leave her behind to take care of Gu Jinglan.
Ye Jiu sat in the car, leaned out of the window and looked at the high-rise building in front of her, she picked up her mobile phone in a beautiful mood and sent a text message to Su Shimo:
Sisters, I'll help you get here.
Then close the window, drive, and go home.
No matter what message Su Shimo sent, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and when the phone called, she was speechless by the cold female voice on the phone.
Shut down.
Su Shimo looked at the temporarily blind man in front of him and asked, "Where is your aunt?" ”
"Nope."
Gu Jinglan could only hear her voice, but he couldn't see her position, and could only rely on listening to the voice to judge her position.
"And who usually takes care of you?" Su Shimo asked again.
"I take care of myself." Gu Jinglan said, "I want to drink water." ”
"......" Su Shimo turned around and went out to pour water for him.
"There are cups next to the kitchen sink and water on the living room table." Gu Jinglan instructed her to pour water in the room.
Su Shimo took a deep breath.
Back in the room, Su Shimo put the water into his hand, then picked up her mobile phone and said to him: "Who can take care of you, I'll help you call." ”
"Nope."
As soon as Gu Jinglan's voice fell, Su Shimo happened to unlock his mobile phone.
It's still the same password, it hasn't changed.
Su Shimo glanced at him and asked, "What about Jian Chu?" ”
Gu Jinglan was silent for a moment.
Su Shimo smiled, sure enough, only Jian Chu was different.
She scratched the call page, found Jian Chu's phone, and before she pressed the dial button, she heard Gu Jinglan say: "After so many years, why haven't you grown at all." You don't have anything else to say other than Jian Chu? ”
Su Shimo's hand trembled, and he almost couldn't hold his mobile phone.
She glanced at Gu Jinglan, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
What to say?
Aren't you and Jian Chu together? Aren't you and Jian Chu together?
But how could she ask this?
Because she will always remember that on the day of her eighteenth birthday, Gu Jinglan said to her: "Jian Chu? What do you ask? Does it have anything to do with you? ”
The mockery in Gu Jinglan's eyes when she said this made her feel ashamed.
And everyone standing behind Gu Jinglan looked at her with that kind of look. Look at her as if you were watching a joke.
Su Shimo suddenly lost his voice. Gu Jinglan tilted his head and shouted in her direction: "Su Shimo? ”
Su Shimo came back to his senses and said, "Then I'll call Gu's mother." ”
"Don't fight." Gu Jinglan refuted without thinking about it.
Su Shimo pursed his lips, put his mobile phone back in his hand, and said to him, "Then you can rest, I'll call Ah Jing over." ”
She was talking about Song Zhijing.
Ye Zhaoyan came over, and she was not at ease. Or Song Zhijing came over to make her feel at ease.
As he spoke, he exited Gu Jinglan's room and closed the door by the way.
"Su Shimo—"
Gu Jinglan didn't wait for Su Shimo's response. I think she's gone. He leaned on the head of the bed a little lonely.
Gu Jinglan leaned on the head of the bed, motionless for two hours.
It wasn't until the door of his room was opened again that he looked up, his eyes still blurry and he couldn't see clearly, but he could get a rough idea.
He saw Su Shimo walking in from outside with a dinner plate, and then stopped by his side and said to him:
"I've cooked some porridge, you can drink some."
Su Shimo also wanted to leave, but when he talked to Song Zhijing on the phone, the other party was filming with the crew thousands of miles away, and he couldn't come for a while.
And she didn't eat anything at night, and if she didn't eat again, her stomach was afraid that it would protest, so she used Gu Jinglan's kitchen to cook a little white porridge. She is not a person who eats alone, let alone someone else's rice.
She also made one for Gu Jinglan.
She thought, if Gu Jinglan came in and slept, then forget it.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not rest, not only did he not rest, but he also leaned on the bed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. She walked in with the porridge.
"You're not leaving." He whispered.
The voice was so low that Su Shimo almost suspected that he didn't speak, but Su Shimo still heard it. She let out a 'hmm' sound, then picked up the porridge bowl, took the spoon and filled half a tablespoon, put it to her mouth and blew it gently.
It wasn't until she felt that it was not so hot that she handed it to Gu Jinglan's mouth, and she said, "Take your time, be careful of being hot." ”
Gu Jinglan was stunned for a moment, and then obediently opened his mouth.
Su Shimo fed him and ate it.
When you open your mouth, you open your mouth, and when you say you swallow, you swallow.
Su Shimo was afraid that he would eat blandly, so he cut two more eggs. And Gu Jinglan, this one, has two egg yolks.
Su Shimo fed him spoonful by spoonful and finished eating a whole bowl of porridge.
"You know how to cook." Gu Jinglan looked in her direction and said this meaninglessly.
Su Shimo cleaned up the dinner and casually echoed him: "Yes." ”
What's so strange about being able to cook.
When she was abroad by herself, she did everything, let alone cooked. Changing the light bulb, repairing the toilet, and changing the water faucet is a piece of cake for her.
She's got a lot of things.
Gu Jinglan was full of pride in her tone.
What is there to be proud of being able to cook? The one who can't cook is Su Shimo.
A few years before Su Shimo left, he held himself back and didn't want to inquire about her, but when he wanted to check her news again, he couldn't find it at all.
He didn't know how she had come over the years.
Su Shimo came in after cleaning up the kitchen, and saw Gu Jinglan still leaning on the head of the bed in a daze.
She thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Gu Jinglan had a problem, that is, he didn't take a bath and didn't sleep. So Su Shimo asked him: "I'll take you to the bathroom, you can take a bath by yourself, right?" ”
When Gu Jinglan heard this, he replied, "Yes." ”
Su Shimo found a set of pajamas in his closet, and then led him slowly into the bathroom.
After placing Gu Jinglan, she retreated and said, "You wash and call me, I'm outside the door." Be careful. Then she closed the door.
Taking advantage of Gu Jinglan's bath, Su Shimo made a video call to Su Xiaonan, who was far away in a foreign country.
This video call made her frightened, afraid that the people in the bathroom would come out at any time, she watched the movement over there like a thief while making the call, and she had to be distracted to listen to whether there was still the sound of water running inside, so that she didn't dare to speak too loudly.
Qiao An also laughed at her with Su Xiaonan, saying that she looked like a thief.
Su Shimo looked at the room in the bathroom with a weak heart, thinking that this is not just a thief.
It didn't take long for the sound of the water inside to stop, and then a loud 'bang-' sounded inside.
"......" Su Shimo was silent for a moment.
Then she calmly said goodbye to the person in the video and walked to the door of the bathroom, she knocked on the door, "Gu Jinglan?" ”
There was no sound inside.
Su Shimo knocked on the door again: "Gu Jinglan, are you okay?" ”
After a while, Gu Jinglan's voice came from inside: "You come in." ”
Su Shimo hesitated for a moment, but finally turned the doorknob and opened the door. But the first thing that caught my eye was a body without clothes.
"......" Su Shimo subconsciously turned his back.
Gu Jinglan lay on the ground and shouted to her, "Why don't you come." ”
Su Shimo woke up like a dream.
She hurriedly took the bath towel hanging next to her, moved to his side with her back to him, and then squatted down, covered his body with the bath towel, and with Gu Jinglan's cooperation, she gave him the bath towel to surround him.
She helped Gu Jinglan and slowly stood up.
During this period, I also have to worry that his bath towel may fall at any time.
Gu Jinglan was so heavy that she almost wrapped her hands around his waist, and he leaned on her and walked out of the toilet slowly.
The skin in Su Shimo's hands was very slippery.
When she noticed that her hand was on Gu Jinglan's body, and the other party didn't have a decent dress, he realized that he was shy.
His face slowly turned red.
But she didn't let go.
After moving Gu Jinglan to the bed, she went to the bathroom to take back his sleepiness and threw it on him.
In the fall just now, Gu Jinglan injured his thigh. When I fell, my thigh hit the edge of the bathtub. Coupled with the few kicks that Ye Jiu gave him, it was simply an injury on top of injury.
After he changed his pajamas, Su Shimo asked him, "Do you want to go to the hospital?" ”
Look at where he stumbled.
Gu Jinglan shook his head. I don't think it's necessary. Going to the hospital twice a night, where does it take such a toss.
"But your injury ......" Su Shimo was still a little uneasy.
Gu Jinglan said: "It's okay, it'll be fine tomorrow." ”
He didn't want to go, and Su Shimo didn't force it. After covering him with the quilt, he turned off the lights and went out.
"You're going back?"
Gu Jinglan shouted at her.
"yes." Su Shimo replied without replying. He took the door to his room.
The room was calm.
Gu Jinglan closed his eyes, but he didn't have any pajamas.
After lying down for a while, he really couldn't sleep, so he turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, and when the light turned on, he suddenly found that he could vaguely see something.
But it seems to be myopia, blurry, but it can still be seen clearly.
He got out of bed, limped, and slowly walked to the door, where he wanted to pour a glass of water.
He drank all the water that Su Shimo poured for him just now.
When he walked to the door and opened it, the light from outside the door seeped into his room little by little. The sound of the TV outside also passed through the room and into his ears.
The TV in the living room was on.
He walked out and saw a man sleeping on the couch.
It's Su Shimo.
The lights in the living room are on, the TV is on, and there is no less sound and light.
And the person he had buried deep in his heart for many years was lying on the sofa, sleeping quietly.
