Zhang Xiaokui bit his lip hard and turned his gaze to the girl on the bed.

The girl who was frightened at the beginning was obediently nested in the crook of the man's arm at this time, as if she had entered a safe haven, and her tense nerves were completely relaxed.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaokui looked away and remained silent.

"My name is Wei Lan? Then you...... What is it called? ”

"Yanyi, Yansheng's Yan, Duyi's Yi."

Wei Lan was half-lying in Yanyi's arms, looking up and her clear peach blossom eyes reflected Yanyi's face.

Resolute, indifferent, but at this time a slight smile, gentle handsome face.

Familiar......

It's very familiar, but I can't find the slightest memory related to him.

Wei Lan shook her head, Liu Yemei frowned slightly and tried to recall, there seemed to be a barrier in her brain, whenever she felt that she could think of something, that barrier always bounced her thoughts back, and then her head would have a dull pain.

"Hmm......"

The sudden pain made the person who had just calmed down fall into a panic again.

Wei Lan propped up his head on the side with one hand, grabbed Yanyi with the other, and shook his head vigorously, "Go home, go home, I want to go home......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Wei Lan, I'm here, Wei Lan."

Wei Lan is seriously injured, although he has come to his senses, but follow-up treatment and regular examinations cannot be pulled down, and at this juncture, he cannot be discharged from the hospital at all.

Yanyi couldn't promise, so he could only try to appease.

Wei Lan struggled more and more, Yan Yi was afraid that she would overreact and touch the wound again, so her heart was horizontal, and she hugged the person tightly in her arms, "Wei Lan, when your injury is healed, we will go back...... I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, no one will hurt you anymore, obedient...... Obedient ......"

Wei Lan was injured in the back of her head, her body had been lying on her stomach when she was unconscious, she woke up this morning, and was forcibly grabbed by the doctors in the hospital to do various examinations, she struggled for a long time and couldn't escape, and she was already tired and exhausted.

Later, the doctors faded, and she was the only one left in the ward, although she was slightly relaxed, but her spirit was still in a tense state, and occasionally she fell asleep with her head tilted without holding it for a moment, and she soon woke up because of the swelling and pain in the back of her head.

At the moment, it is different, the man's chest is slightly hard, with an unsympathetic coldness, but inexplicably, it makes people feel very relieved.

The emotions were appeased, Wei Lan slowly calmed down, grabbed the placket of the man's uniform with both hands and rubbed her cheeks lightly, and after a while, she blinked, yawned like a cat, and just lay in the man's arms, falling asleep in a trance.

Yanyi's hand holding the girl slowly let go, and the void circled the girl's back and didn't even dare to use force.

The well-behaved and delicate sleeping face is in front of his eyes and in his arms.

Such fear, such dependence.

Yanyi's teeth were clenched, his arms trembled slightly, and his narrow eyes were moist and red.

This time, he absolutely, absolutely won't let go of her hand again.

Taking a deep breath to calm his interest, Yanyi looked sideways at Zhang Xiaokui, "I remember the key to the courtyard, do you have it?" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, what does Deputy Bureau Yan mean ......"

"Prepare for the next few days and clean up the courtyard."

If the recovery is good, Wei Lan will be able to be discharged from the hospital for about a month, and he can prepare during this time.

"Look at what's missing, and put it all together."

Yan Yi's eyes fell on Wei Lan softly, afraid of waking Wei Lan, his voice was very soft, but he couldn't refuse.

He took care of himself, but he didn't pay attention at all, and Zhang Xiaokui's face behind him became more and more weird.

"Deputy Director ...... Yan" Zhang Xiaokui endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth, "Wei, Wei Zhiqing is like this now, how can Comrade Gu Chao ...... there?"

Yan Yi swept over with a sharp look, "Are you going to teach me how to do things now?" ”

It's that cold and gloomy look again, so far, in one day today, Zhang Xiaokui has seen it twice.

Even if they feel that in this case, they will not be able to win the deputy bureau, but Zhang Xiaokui is not a fool, he has been warned one after another, if he doesn't know how to talk about it, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the county public security bureau to have a foothold for him.

Zhang Xiaokui straightened his waist, his head slightly hanging and staring at his toes, "Yes, I'll arrange it!" ”

Yan Yi lowered his eyes, patted Wei Lan's back with his big hand, and his voice was cold and emotionless, "Go out." ”

After a while, there was a slight "pop" of the door closing.

The room was quiet, and I could vaguely hear the sounds of doctors and nurses greeting and laughing and talking from downstairs outside.

"Hey, Dr. Liang, have you eaten? Today's fried stewed potatoes in the canteen are old and fragrant! ”

"Hehe, not yet, I'm going to eat, please remind me, I'll go change to a bigger lunch box......"

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, the fog and white clouds broke a large hole, and the dazzling sunlight was cut into bundles by the scattered clouds and scattered to the world.

The window was dazzlingly lit, and Yan Yi only glanced at it before retracting his gaze.

He took Wei Lan's scarred little hand close to his lips, kissed it with pity, and the gloom in his eyes suddenly exploded, "This time, no one can take you away from me again." ”

……

Gu's backyard.

The breeze is blowing, the green bamboos are swaying, and the raindrops on the branches and leaves are scattered in twos and threes.

Gu Chao pinched the letter and sat on the rocking chair where Wei Lan usually sits, just took out the letter and unfolded it, and before he could start reading it, there was a sudden "click", and a drop of water fell on the letter.

The water droplet was impartial, and it just landed on the word "Lan", and the handwriting quickly became a flower, blurry and unclear.

It was like green ink dripping into the water, blurring for a while, and then disappearing.

It's more like her, forcibly erased from existence.

The Wei family in Beijing City didn't know about Wei Lan's disappearance, and this time they sent a letter because the college entrance examination was imminent, and they were concerned about Wei Lan and Gu Chao's study.

Three pages of letterheads, most of them were impassioned by Wei's mother, so that Wei Lan and Gu Chao urged each other, the Beijing city had already been tied, and Wei's father prepared a set of small courtyards alone, ready for them to be admitted to Beijing in the future, if Gu Chao was unwilling to live with them, they could live in a small courtyard.

And then there are Wei Lin's notes.

got married in mid-April, and it was only mid-July that Song Qi was already two months pregnant.

Those lines and strokes were full of pride, and at the end of the writing, it seemed that he felt that he had shown off enough, and he nodded in the tone of an unborn child, "I hope my aunt will return home." ”

Gu Chao's eyes were hot, the letter had been turned to the last one, he didn't dare to read it carefully, he just wanted to read it quickly, but when he saw the two words at the end, he suddenly paused.

Although there are only two words there, they are vigorous and powerful, and you can tell at a glance who is in the hand.

"Hope to return to ......"

I hope that my aunt will return home......

Looking forward to returning......

The college entrance examination is imminent, and they are all looking forward to and waiting for her to go back, looking forward to their triumphant return.

But why at this time......

Gu Chao's eyes were red, he pinched the letter against his forehead, he lowered his head, so that people could not see his expression, but he could see his trembling body, and the ground fell one after another with bean-sized droplets.

The loss of educated youth is not a trivial matter, the team will react upward before and after this incident, report all the way, and the Wei family will get the news in half a month at the latest.

Even if Gu Sande delays the news and the college entrance examination begins, the Wei family will not be able to find out the information of Wei Lan's examination room, and they will find clues.

I can't hide this matter.

Gu Chao didn't want to hide it, but he didn't dare to say it......

Say, how do you want to tell the Wei family about this?

They love her so much.

What would it be like to know such a thunderbolt on a sunny day? Expression?

Grief, weeping, despair, and......

Hate him.

The picture of Wei's mother hysterically sweeping him out of the house and never wanting to come back from now on came to mind.

Gu Chao shook his head vigorously, he couldn't accept it.

I can't accept any of these small things or points.

Gu Chao's sleeves rubbed his face without leaving a trace, his deep eyes were red, and he got up abruptly and walked out.

Youlan shrank at the kitchen door, hung her head, and whispered, "Brother, Grandma called you to go." ”

"Got it." Gu Chao paused, turned around, and went to Grandma Gu's room first.

When it was cold before, Grandma Gu's health has not been very good, and her consciousness is also chaotic, but the weather warmed up a while ago, and her body has just improved.

Now that Wei Lan's whereabouts are unknown, Gu Chao runs out every day, looking along the ditches and rivers, and after looking for so long, he has found nothing, and eighty percent of them have already ......

Wei Lan is a good girl, she usually gets along for so long, and the relationship between Grandma Gu and Wei Lan is, to a certain extent, even more than Gu Chao and Youlan, but she is such a good girl, and if she says no, she doesn't ......

Grandma Gu vaguely remembered that when Wei Lan went out that morning, she turned around and smiled brightly.

The picture of getting along with each other in the past is vivid, and the clearer the picture in her mind, the more heartbroken and unacceptable Grandma Gu becomes.

Gu Chao went out to collect in the past few days, but he didn't find any news, Gu Grandma's mind sank day by day, and she soon became ill, and she fell ill and couldn't come to bed, and Youlan was taken care of by her side for the past two days.

"Grandma."

Grandma Gu leaned crookedly on the head of the bed, Gu Chao stepped into the room, his steps slowed down for half a beat, and then walked over with long legs, "Do you feel better today?" ”

Grandma Gu opened her eyes, cheered up a little and nodded, "Brother Chao'er is here?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Chao responded, sat on the edge of the bed with his back to Grandma Gu, hooked his head and didn't speak again.

Grandma Gu squeaked and gasped for a while, and just wanted to say something, when she saw Gu Chao so gloomy and silent, it seemed that overnight, she had returned to the past, when the girl had not yet appeared.

Her brother's life was hard, and she only touched the edge of happiness, and was suppressed back to the bottom...... In this life, I don't know how many hurdles I have to go through.

Grandma Gu's cloudy old eyes were filled with tears, she struggled to sit up, and her withered old hand patted Gu Chao's back twice, "She is a member of our Gu family, she wants to see people in life, and she wants to see corpses in death, Brother Chao, you have to look for it, and then look for ......."

Although she has not been officially hired or married, in Grandma Gu's heart, she has already recognized Wei Lan and regarded Wei Lan as a member of the Gu family.

Gu Chao replied in a low voice and didn't say much.

Grandma Gu gasped and said as if she was holding on: "I'm afraid my days are numbered, and I have lived enough...... If there is really something wrong with that girl, the Gu family will stay behind......"

Gu Chao roared and interrupted hurriedly, "Grandma! ”

At this time, Gu Chao didn't want to hear this kind of self-proclaimed words about running out of oil and lamps, and he didn't want to hear anything about who he would marry for the sake of incense and inheritance, even if he was acting on the spot.

Gu Chao didn't believe that Wei Lan would have any strengths and weaknesses, she must be in a certain place.

being swept farther away by the water, or being rescued by others......

He'll find her, definitely, just maybe a little later...... But, definitely.

Gu Chao struggled with the poles in his heart, his deep eyes were red, and he cried without any scruples in front of Grandma Gu.

"I want her, I only want her, I want her in this life!"

"Otherwise, I will become a monk, a Taoist priest, and a single......"

"Grandma, I just want her to be good, she is good, she can marry someone else if she wants, I can not be with her, I just want her to be good...... But grandma, where do I find it, how do I find it......"

Gu Chao didn't want to disobey Grandma Gu, let alone contradict him, but he had been emotionally suppressed for too long, and he couldn't control it, as if venting, and his stubborn thoughts jumped out one after another.

When I looked back on the last time I cried, the lintel of the Gu family still existed.

At that time, Gu Chao followed several cousins of the same sect to learn martial arts, but because of his weak body, his horse steps were unstable, or his movements were not standardized, he always had to be left by the master to lecture and play the board.

Every time I was scolded, I had to cry loudly in front of Grandma Gu.

Let's say that he is young and squeamish, but later the Gu family fell, and the red soldiers came to the house day and night to smash and toss, not only did he not cry, but also carried the entire Gu family on his shoulders, this resistance is more than ten years.

The little thin young man, with his own strength, carried the whole family, supported his grandmother, raised his young sister, the hardships and hardships of life are not something ordinary people can understand, he has never said a word of bitterness, shed a tear.

But today, more than ten years later, he cried without any scruples.

In a trance, Grandma Gu seemed to be back to the past, she was sitting in front of the porch in a blue background and gold-rimmed coat, with Bai Mulan opening just right on her side, and a young man wearing a white pony coat with pigtails and crying sadly......

As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.

The face of the emaciated boy and the muscular young man appear and disappear from time to time, eventually overlapping.

Gu Chao's low and hoarse voice continued to echo in his ears, Grandma Gu came to her senses, couldn't help sighing lightly, and didn't say anything comforting, but softened her voice and said: "Grandma doesn't force you to marry someone else, but the Gu family's heirs are weak in this generation, if you don't marry, how can you rely on Brother Yang alone?" ”

"Save a family fund for Lan Ya, when she grows up in the future, her life will be better, when the time comes, you should pay attention to it, according to Lan Ya's thoughts, pick a sincere person to recruit you......" Grandma Gu patted her hand on Gu Chao's back and continued: "This is just one of the ways to deal with it...... That girl has always been a blessed girl, and there will be no accidents...... Brother Chao, since you have identified her, you have to keep looking for her. ”

It's better to have a glimmer of hope than to despair.

Otherwise, Grandma Gu is afraid that on the day she dies in the future, her brother Chao'er will have no self-proclaimed burden, and she will go with her......
