Chapter 8: A Tragic Background

Alarm? Liu Yihe hesitated. How do you talk to the police? Could it be that the police were told that they had a magic mirror through which the phone could talk to people in the next 24 hours after facial recognition? No, it is estimated that if you can't wait to save Lao Meng, you will be imprisoned in the second hospital as a neuropath!

"Otherwise, I only vaguely heard him call before, and many of the contents were speculation, and I couldn't explain it to the police! Silly Ni, think about where he's going to go, let's go find it first, shall we? Liu Yihe looked at Sunny and said. Sunny frowned and thought about it, but finally agreed.

Shanni said that Lao Meng bought a courtyard of Zhuangzi on Lishan Mountain in the south at the end of last year, and he usually doesn't go much, but occasionally he will go there to live there for a few days when he is free, so he should relax. Liu Yihe and Ah Guang glanced at each other when they heard this, and they were a little embarrassed. They claim to be Lao Meng's friends, but after graduating from high school, they went to study in other places, and the connection with Lao Meng slowly faded, and after graduating from college, they returned to the local area, Lao Meng was very happy, but the two of them were running around in their own jobs, although the town is not big, but if it weren't for Liu Yihe's recent work and some things at home, the two may not think of Lao Meng and the "old place" he operated.

Ah Guang is sociable, and soon borrows a car from an acquaintance in the mall, and the three of them hurriedly jump into the car and speed away to the place that Sunny said. On the way, Liu Yihe couldn't help but ask Shanni the meaning of her words last night. Sanny sighed and told her story quietly.

"I have an older brother, fifteen years older than me, and Lao Meng is very good friends. When I was born, my mother fell ill and died, and my father had to work several jobs to grow up with us, and life in the family was very difficult. My brother wanted to drop out of school and work to reduce the burden on his father's shoulders, but my father disagreed, saying that he wanted us brothers and sisters to study hard and take him to live a good life in the future. So the sensible brother worked odd jobs while trying to complete his studies. Finally, my brother is about to graduate, and through hard work I have found a very good company, and the father and son are very happy. ”

"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, but my brother was found to be very sick during the physical examination, and he couldn't go to work, and the unit didn't want him when he heard about it. Soon his brother's condition worsened and he was hospitalized, not only did his job fail, but his father also sold the house in order to treat him. I was only eight years old and had just started elementary school. Every morning, my father took me to work after taking me to school from the hospital, and then picked me up from school in the afternoon to take me to the hospital ward. In the evening, our father and daughter had nowhere to go, but fortunately, the hospital knew that we were pitiful and acquiesced in our bunks in the corridor. It was at this time that Lao Meng appeared, I remember the first time I saw him when I had just finished school, my father took me into the ward, Lao Meng was talking to his brother with his back to the window, the golden sunset outside the window shone on him, and the whole person seemed to be shining. The elder brother introduced that this was his best brother, who had been developing in other provinces, and when he heard about his condition, he came back to visit him. The father stepped forward to greet the old man, then turned around and went out to buy some fruit to greet him. After my father left, I saw that my brother finally shed tears, and he told Lao Meng that he felt that he didn't have much to live, and that he must help take care of his lovely sister and elderly father after he left. Lao Meng also cried, saying that his brother would be fine. The elder brother shook his head and sighed, saying that his body knew best. Lao Meng's emotions finally exploded, jumped up and pointed at his brother and scolded, saying, "You know a hammer best in your mother's body, if you know, how can you get to this now!" After scolding, he lay on his brother's hospital bed and cried. Crying and crying, Lao Meng suddenly raised his head and said to his brother, "Brother, don't worry, if you have three long and two short, I am you!" ’”

After his father came back, Lao Meng gave him a bank card, saying that it was some of his own thoughts. My father resolutely didn't want to, but at this time, someone from the hospital urged us to pay, and my father couldn't, so he finally took it with trembling hands. Lao Meng told his father that the bank card password was his brother's birthday, and asked him to hurry up and withdraw the money and make up the arrears. But none of us thought that this would be the last time we would see our father. ”

"My brother and Lao Meng chatted for a while, I was still young at the time, and I didn't seem to understand, but I remember that my brother told Lao Meng that I was not so much his sister as a daughter. Because my father was forced to go out early and return late due to the pressure of life since I was a child, my brother and sister basically took care of the lives of our brother and sister. At this time, Lao Meng pulled me over, gently stroked my head, and promised my brother that if the worst happened, he would take care of me like his brother. At this time, the nurse who had just come to collect the money suddenly ran over in a hurry and asked, 'Did your father take the money?' After receiving an affirmative reply, the nurse anxiously told her brother that there was a robbery downstairs, and that my father might have been robbed. When Lao Meng heard the roar, he ran out as if he were flying. I also wanted to follow, but my brother grabbed me. My brother asked the nurse and aunt to help me take care of me, pulled out the salt water bottle in his hand, and then limped out of the ward. I was held in my arms by the nurse aunt and just cried, crying and crying and slowly falling asleep. ”

"My brother went for a long time, and when he came back, he fell and the movement was quite loud, and I was woken up by him. When I woke up, I saw that the nurse and aunt wanted to help my brother up, but my brother shook his head and refused her. The elder brother struggled to get up and sit on the ground, holding his head in his hands and burying his head in his knees, convulsive. I jumped off my brother's hospital bed and tried to help him up, but no matter how hard I tried, my brother still didn't move, I was anxious, crying and asking him what was wrong. Hearing my cry, my brother looked up at me with a blank expression. ”

"Now that I think about it, it wasn't expressionless. My brother's life was not as rich in expression as it was then. On his face, I don't see any hope for life, as if he has been abandoned by life and has lost the meaning of existence. It's loneliness, it's loneliness, it's anger, it's despair. Perhaps, there is also reluctance to me. ”

Sannie took a deep breath and rested her head on the seat. Liu Yihe felt very uncomfortable, and he felt that this girl who pretended to be strong must be very lonely in his heart. Liu Yihe stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Shanni's eyes. Sanny opened her eyes and looked at him, smiling slightly, and fell in love with the country. Ah Guang, who was in the driver's seat, had been silent all the time, and then suddenly accelerated forward. Sunny told Ah Guang that no matter how urgent the matter was, he still had to pay attention to safety, because it was too dangerous to drive the mountain road like this at night. Hikari didn't say a word, but slowed down significantly, and Sunny looked out the window and continued her story.

My brother looked up at me for a long time, and suddenly he started laughing, laughing uncontrollably, and he couldn't hold it back. I didn't know what to do, and when I saw my brother laughing, I laughed too. But my brother laughed so hard that he couldn't stop coughing, and I was so frightened that I started crying. When my brother heard me crying, he seemed to be a little more awake, and he hugged me and started crying again. I actually didn't know what was going on, mainly because my brother kept laughing and acting too scary. This will make my brother start crying, but I can't cry, I asked my brother what was wrong, and my brother didn't say. The nurse and aunt next to us wanted to help us up, but my brother wouldn't let us. I watched my brother cry, and I started crying, crying until I couldn't breathe, my whole body was numb, and my eyes were blue and purple and I couldn't see clearly. The nurse aunt advised my brother to hurry up, otherwise I couldn't stand it. My brother looked at me and finally helped me back to bed with the help of crying. ”

When Lao Meng came back, it was already the middle of the night, naked, with gauze on the east and west. Lao Meng was followed by three policemen, one of whom was a female policeman who pulled me out of the ward, and the other two were talking to Lao Meng and my brother inside. After a while, Lao Meng sent them out, thanked them, and took me back to my brother. Later, I learned that when my father went to the bank to withdraw money that day, he was targeted by three gangsters because of the relatively large amount. They followed their father all the way to the hospital, and when they saw that his father was about to enter the door of the inpatient department, several people rushed up to grab his father's bag. While desperately protecting the bag, the father begged them not to rob him, which was money for his brother's life. The three gangsters were in a hurry and punched and kicked their father. Seeing that there were more and more people around, one of the gangsters took out a dagger and stabbed his father several times. My father clutched the bag in pain, and he scratched his arm several times. ”

At last he snatched the bag and beckoned his two companions to flee. At this time, Lao Meng, who heard the news of the nurse and aunt, happened to run down from the upstairs, and saw his father lying in a pool of blood unconscious, so he roared and kicked the gangster down. When the other two saw it, they also took out daggers and surrounded them, and Lao Meng was also slashed several times, but he was young and strong, and he was good at fighting, so he avoided the vital point. When the elder brother came down, he saw this situation and was about to go up with a roar, but Lao Meng shouted at him not to be impulsive, snatched his father's bag and threw it to his brother, asking him to save people quickly. So the elder brother asked the people around him to help take his father to the rescue, and told Lao Meng to be careful. Unexpectedly, as soon as the elder brother left, two people rushed over with weapons, and the five people surrounded Lao Meng in the middle in a rage. ”

"Lao Meng didn't tell me much about this matter, I inquired about it from the doctors and nurses in the hospital. In short, in the end, Lao Meng knocked down all of them and handed them over to the police who rushed to hear the news. Lao Meng himself was injured, and his clothes were also cut by the gangsters, so he simply took them off and threw them away, bandaged them briefly, and came to his brother to ask about his father's situation. Unfortunately, my father injured his lungs and was not rescued. After that, my brother began to remedy, and his condition deteriorated quickly, and after less than a month, he left us forever. ”

"Lao Meng kept his promise, he said that if I don't have a brother, then he is my brother, and if he doesn't have a father, he can also be my father. Lao Meng's care allowed me to grow up carefree, and he supported me to complete my studies. After graduating from university, a foreign company in Shenzhen took a fancy to me, but I just couldn't let go of Lao Meng, so I rejected that company, thinking that I would come back to work and visit him from time to time. ”

At this point, Sanny finally couldn't help but let out a low sob. Liu Yihe was very distressed, held Shanni's hand tightly, and gently hugged her into his arms, and the car fell into a dead silence. After a moment, Sanny steadied herself and raised her head slightly. She looked out the window and took a deep breath, as if to suppress the uneasiness in her heart: "There is a fork on the right side of the front and a village, and it is the third house on the right hand of the village. ”

"Knock knock......" As soon as Ah Guang stopped the car, Liu Yihe and Shanni jumped down and kept banging on the door of Lao Meng's house.

Ah Guang pulled over and put the car aside, complained that the two of them should not open the door and get out of the car when the car did not stop, what if there was an accident. Seeing that the two of them ignored him, he ran to the side of the road and rolled over a big stone to step on, and was about to climb into the yard, when his head had just crossed the fence, and suddenly he saw the lights in the house turn on, and then there was a sound of Ding Lingdang. Ah Guang was stunned, hurriedly jumped off the wall, stopped Liu Yihe and Shanni and asked, "Don't shout, didn't you hear the sound in the house?" Seeing that the two of them shook their heads, and were about to say what they had just seen, suddenly the three of them heard the sound of the door opening, and then someone walked towards the gate step by step. Liu Yihe swallowed his saliva, couldn't help but protect Shanni behind him, glanced at Ah Guang, and whispered: "I'm a bait, you're a hook!" Ah Guang understood, quietly picked up a stone, held it in his hand, and hid it on the other side of the gate. The door opened slowly, Liu Yihe suddenly shouted, the people inside were stunned, Ah Guang hurriedly flashed out and slapped the stone in his hand at the person.

"Ah, no......" Shanni suddenly shouted, Liu Yihe was also shocked, and stretched out his hand to stop Ah Guang. But it was too late, and the stones flew out of Ah Guang's hands like arrows off the string. The person who opened the door reacted very quickly, his head was tilted, and the stones flew over and landed in the yard, "dang, dang, dang......". The three people outside the door were stunned, staring at the door without saying a word. The old man held an iron rod in his hand and stared at Ah Guang with a confused expression.

"Fuck, shit, I want my life?"
