The remoteness of the place that local taxi drivers in Tang'an need to navigate to reach can be seen.

The road is not good, with eighteen twists and turns along the way.

The sun sets in the west.

Su Chengyi held the flower pot and was dangled in the back seat.

Obviously, the straight-line distance on the map is not too far.

In Tang'an City, I actually realized what it means to run a dead horse in Wangshan.

When he finally arrived at his destination, the driver and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I didn't run wrong.

Su Chengyi glanced out of the car window.

"Jushan Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center"

This is it, I asked Granny Xu's son for the address of the sanatorium before.

Su Chengyi took out three banknotes and handed them to the front row.

"Master, can you please wait here for me for a while? About half an hour or so.

It's not easy for me to get a taxi when I come out here. You can be billed by the hour. ”

Just waiting here to make money, this kind of good thing, of course, the driver master has no reason to refuse.

He nodded busily, put out the fire leisurely, and began to smoke and listen to the radio station.

After Su Chengyi got out of the car, he patted the soil that had fallen from the flower pot when he had just turned upside down.

Fortunately, it was very dry and did not leave an unsightly mark.

After all, I am here to visit patients, and I still need to pay attention to my appearance.

The iron fence at the doorway was locked, and only a small door was opened next to it.

Su Chengyi had just taken a few steps closer when he was stopped by someone.

"Hey, what's that?"

The middle-aged man in a security uniform pushed open the window, his tone was not good, and his eyes swept him up and down a few rounds.

Su Chengyi stood still and replied:

"Hello, I'm here to visit the patient."

"Visitation?"

The security guard pursed his lips as if he had heard something strange, took out a notebook from the drawer, and asked:

"What's the name?"

"The patient's name is Xu Huiying."

"Which hui?"

"Wise wisdom."

"Well, I found it."

After confirming that there was indeed such a person in the nursing home, the security guard beckoned him in.

"Your personal information should also be registered. We have strict management here. ”

Su Chengyi nodded, not caring.

Seeing him cooperate with his work so much, the security guard's face also loosened a lot, and he even took the initiative to chat with him.

"You're still a student, are you, are you here by yourself?"

"Just graduated."

"That's about my son's age.

Remember, after going in for a while, you can only enter the 213 room you have booked, and don't go around.

When the time comes, a nurse will remind you not to delay and come out immediately. ”

The security guard spoke in a very serious tone, and although Su Chengyi was a little strange, he still agreed.

Strict management is understandable, but wouldn't that be a bit too much?

Su Chengyi walked in with questions.

The grounds are very green and the trees are lush. There are quite a few fitness facilities in the square, and some people in hospital gowns are exercising.

Su Chengyi walked past them without attracting anyone's attention.

Although he always knew that it was a nursing home, before coming here, Su Chengyi's impression of a nursing home was actually similar to that of a nursing home.

imagined that it should be a group of old men and old ladies singing and dancing, all kinds of theatrical evenings.

But here it is necessary to wear hospital gowns uniformly, and the patients are not all elderly, there are many middle-aged young people.

After walking in the door, the smell of disinfectant was a little pungent, and before Su Chengyi could see the structure of the first floor clearly, a nurse with a notebook reached out to stop him.

After checking that the information was correct, he led him upstairs.

Room 213 is No. 13 on the second floor, in the corner.

When walking through the corridor, Su Chengyi quietly glanced at the other wards.

There were a few empty rooms with people, and they were either sleeping or watching TV.

There are some inexplicable abnormalities in the normal, and I can't say it.

"213 Xu Huiying, someone has come to see you."

The nurse stood in front of the door and knocked.

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and saw that Granny Xu was sitting on the hospital bed with her back to the door, as if she was looking out the window.

I haven't seen her for a few months, her back seems to be a lot stiffer, and her hair has turned gray.

The nurse's voice was loud in the quiet hallway, but she didn't move as if she hadn't heard.

"Understand that the patient has Alzheimer's disease and may not remember you."

As soon as the nurse finished speaking, Su Chengyi was a little stunned on the spot for a moment.

Senile dementia?

I didn't know it before I came, and I thought I was staying here because of the recovery period after the surgery.

Although he was stunned, he only nodded on the surface.

The nurse didn't seem to want to leave, she didn't even close the door, she just waited at the door.

Su Chengyi slowed his steps and slowly walked behind her, the setting sun stretched his shadow and reflected it on the white floor tiles.

The voice of the nurse did not attract Granny Xu's attention, but after seeing this shadow, she came back to her senses in a trance and looked at him sideways.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Granny Xu, I'm Su Chengyi. Do you remember me? ”

Su Chengyi squatted down on the fence at the end of the bed, trying to lower his posture.

Granny Xu frowned, looking at him with a little more questioning in her eyes.

"Are you petty? Impossible, the little meaning is coming"

She gestured with her palm, stopping at waist height.

"Just came to me. You're such a big boy, how can you be petty? ”

Fortunately, I still remember him, but the memory stays on when he was a child.

Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"It's really me, Granny Xu. Believe it or not. ”

He handed the flower pot in his hand to her.

It was a pot of roses that bloomed very well.

The sick flower that came over from Granny Xu, he really fed it.

Granny Xu was stunned, snorted for a while, and didn't speak.

"This is the flower you gave me."

Su Chengyi stood up and carefully placed it on the windowsill.

The windows of the sanatorium are sealed with iron bars, so you don't have to worry about falling and hitting people.

"I'm going to college, come and see you."

"Are you really careless?"

"Hmm."

Su Chengyi nodded and walked back in front of her.

Granny Xu's cloudy eyes seemed to become clearer, and there was a little more smile on her wrinkled face.

"Good, good. It's good to go to college. ”

"You have to take care of yourself, I'll come back on vacation."

Su Chengyi raised his head, but Granny Xu's rare sober gaze kept stopping on the flower pot placed on the windowsill.

Yes, Granny Xu gave birth to sex flowers.

It is a person who will pick up the flowers that are discarded by the flower shop and take care of them carefully.

But the ward was deserted and desolate, and her children didn't even prepare a single one for her.

The roses bloomed well, and the wind passed through the cloister, causing the flowers to sway, full of life.

After a long time, the nurse knocked on the door, as if to indicate that it was time for him to visit.

Su Chengyi had no choice but to stand up and speak:

"Granny Xu, I'll go first, you have a good rest."

Receiving no response, he sighed softly and turned to walk out.

But suddenly someone grabbed his hand.

Granny Xu's hands were rough and full of cracked marks, which was a testament to a lifetime of hard work.

Su Chengyi was a little puzzled, but she took out a small bread from the pocket of her hospital gown and stuffed it into his hand.

It is actually a less common imported brand, the taste is soft and not sweet and greasy, Su Chengyi will buy a large box online at a time and hoard it at home.

But this one has been flattened and the packaging is leaking.

"It's too thin, eat more, the young man can't just grow tall and not meat."

These words seemed familiar, and Su Chengyi's heart suddenly became sour.

Alzheimer's disease has made her forget many things, but she still remembers to care for herself.

Memories are wonderful things, those things that were once forgotten by Su Chengyi are now remembered one by one.

When he was a child, his parents quarreled, and he didn't want to listen to it, so he hid in the corridor. The sound insulation of the old unit building is not good, and anyone quarrels with neighbors can hear it, but only Granny Xu will come and take him away.

He got a perfect score in the exam, which is something that everyone is accustomed to. Granny Xu would prepare a little reward for him every time, maybe candy, maybe a ballpoint pen.

After his parents divorced, those vegetables and fruits that often appeared at the door, and even after making braised pork at home, he would remember to leave a bowl for him alone.

This kind of care is very selfless, and in those days when I thought I was abandoned by the whole world, there was such care from my elders.

Su Chengyi held Granny Xu's hand, and her eyes were a little blurry.

She smiled kindly, and pointed to the windowsill for him to look.

"Plant flowers in this life, and be beautiful in the next life."

Su Chengyi's steps were heavy when he went downstairs.

So much so that he didn't understand what the nurse was saying next to him.

When approaching the door, Su Chengyi seemed to wake up from a dream, and suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Can the recuperation plan be upgraded here? How much does the superlative cost? ”

The nurse was stunned by his question, and replied for a long time:

"Yes, but you still look like a student, right?

Looking at the information is neighborly relationship? Do you want to upgrade Xu Huiying? ”

"Yes."

Su Chengyi nodded.

After the procedure was completed, the nurse said that she would gradually start changing rooms and nurses tomorrow.

Su Chengyi left the contact information of the nurse for follow-up confirmation.

When they walked to the square, the group of people just now had almost gone, and now there were only a few people left.

Seeing this, the nurse explained:

"It's dinner time soon, and most of them go to the cafeteria to eat."

"That's it."

Su Chengyi didn't ask anymore.

At this time, the sunset took away the afterglow, and the surrounding lights lit up.

Su Chengyi turned around and took another look at the brightly lit building, originally wanting to see room 213, but he was attracted by the only room on the top floor that was not lit.

Unlike the other rooms, this one had sealed floor-to-ceiling windows, the curtains were only slightly opened, and a thin figure stood against the glass.

At first glance it was a little scary, as if she was about to fall at any moment.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but look at it twice.

At this glance, just by the light in the room next to him, Su Chengyi suddenly recognized who this figure was.

His steps froze in place.

The mysterious girl who didn't talk when she came to steal something nearby.

She's actually in this sanatorium?

Su Chengyi suddenly knew where the bread that Granny Xu gave him came from.

He was in the milk crate at the door of his house, and the bread he had prepared for the girl was this brand.

Seeing him staring at the upstairs position, the nurse couldn't help but explain aloud:

"Think that kid is weird? Actually, it's okay, but I don't speak.

It's not like being autistic, people are smart.

I was only six or seven years old when I first arrived, and I haven't had any relatives to visit me for so many years."

At this point, the nurse suddenly realized that she was talking too much, and shook her head to stop talking.

"Why is her room different from everyone else?"

Su Chengyi's eyes didn't turn and asked casually.

The girl seemed to recognize him, too, and looked at him with her eyes open as she clutched the glass in her hands.

"Whoa! There is no abuse of patients in our hospital, this kid didn't know what was going on some time ago, and he always ran out secretly.

I really couldn't help it, so I let her live here for the time being. ”

The nurse was afraid that he would misunderstand something, so she was too busy to explain.

"Hmm. What's her name, is it convenient to say? ”

The nurse actually has a little respect for Su Chengyi, he has just upgraded the annual package, and he hasn't blinked his eyes, he must be either rich or expensive.

Just say a name, it shouldn't be a big deal.

After a moment's hesitation, she replied:

"Yu Xia."

Su Chengyi nodded, then threw away the distractions in his heart, turned around and walked out.

Behind him, the girl's pupils gradually darkened like an unlit room.

The driver at the door waited a little longer than expected, and when he was a little impatient, Su Chengyi took out three more bills and put them in the front seat.

This trick worked so well that his rage was reduced to 0 again.

It was even more difficult to drive when it was dark, and when I returned to Tang'an City, the main urban area had already turned on the night view mode.

The program advertisement of "Idol 101" was playing on the big LED screen, Su Chengyi watched it carefully for a while, and Chen Jinzhi's face flashed.

This lens is good for the human eye.

The taxi passed by Qinghe District, and Su Chengyi's destination was not to go home.

There are really too many people to meet today!

Su Chengyi was actually very tired, and he just felt that he really shouldn't overestimate his energy next time.

The car stopped at the intersection of the Olive District, and at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, it was the bustling hour.

Most of the people here are returning home from work at this time, from nearby construction sites and other places.

Of course, you may turn around to a food stall or something like that on the way, and drink a little wine with braised vegetables.

As soon as Su Chengyi got out of the car, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd flowing at the intersection.

After all, a person as thin as him is rare enough.

He Wufei lowered his head and stared at the ground, he was usually in this floating state, as if he had settled down.

Su Chengyi walked in front of him, stretched out his hand and shook it again, and he raised his head in hindsight.

"Ah, here you are."

"Why are you just waiting here?"

Su Chengyi asked.

"Just got back from the construction site, thinking you'd be there too."

He Wufei smiled, took out a can of Sprite from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Sent on the construction site."

Su Chengyi glanced at him and didn't push, he was indeed a little thirsty.

opened Sprite and took a sip, and He Wufei led him to the alley.

"Have you eaten it?"

"Not yet."

"What are you going to eat?"

"It's all right."

"Cold noodles?"

"Okay."

The two were walking on the road, and Su Chengyi noticed that He Wufei deliberately kept his distance from him.

He was still wearing clothes from the construction site, full of dust, looking like cement and so on.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, this guy has bronchitis and smokes very often.

Now I am working at such a construction site again, and I inhale a lot of dust. There is a high chance of developing pneumoconiosis.

After saying these two words when they met, he had already coughed several times, like a walking tuberculosis ghost.

The pocket peeks out at the corner of the white glove, and even then you can tell that the edges are worn out.

Su Chengyi was reluctant and reached out directly on his shoulder.

"Eh, there's ash on you."

He Wu is not afraid of it.

Sure enough, that's the reason.

"It's not that it can't be washed off."

Su Chengyi didn't care.

Seeing that he was insistent, He Wufei sighed and didn't say anything anymore.

When he arrived at the shop selling cold noodles, before He Wufei could speak, the proprietress turned to the back kitchen and said:

"A serving of vegetarian cold noodles!"

"Hey! Wait a minute! ”

He Wufei hurriedly stepped forward two steps to stop it.

The proprietress saw that he was followed by a young man with clear eyebrows.

"Oh, brought a friend today? That's not going to have to eat something good! ”

He Wufei smiled and replied:

"Yes. Two cold noodles with shredded chicken, plus two fried eggs. Then a plate of braised pig ears and a bottle of beer. ”

"Okay."

Su Chengyi had never come to such a small shop to eat, and he didn't know where the signboard was, so he simply listened to the arrangement.

The dish is served quickly, the braised pork ears are soft and glutinous, and the shredded chicken noodles are refreshing and greasy.

He Wufei poured the beer into the plastic cup, raised his glass with a smile and said:

"Congratulations, the top student in the college entrance examination."

Su Chengyi picked up the Sprite just now and touched the rim of the cup with him.

"Going to report soon?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Chengyi didn't really want to talk about this topic.

He Wufei was originally also a member of the key class of No. 1 Middle School, and if it weren't for Xu Zhihan's matter, he would have graduated from a key university now.

The two ate in silence for a while, and Su Chengyi suddenly asked:

"Let me ask you, He Wufei, have you ever thought about leaving Tang'an City?"

He Wufei was stunned by his question,

He is from a small fishing village, and Tang'an City is already a big city for him.

If all went well, he might still have some ambitions to see the world, but now.

After a while, he shook his head.

Su Chengyi flattened the Sprite can that he had drunk, took out a card from his pocket, and pushed it in front of him.

"Game Design & Production"

This is a promotional card for a training course.

He Wufei looked at Su Chengyi unknowingly.

The latter slowly regained a plastic cup and poured the bubbling cold beer into it.

"I signed you up for this class, and the courses add up to three months. Closed, including food and accommodation.

Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you want to go or not.

After a while, I'll start a game studio.

If you want, the course is over, come to the capital to see me. ”

After Su Chengyi finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and looked at him levelly.

He Wufei's fingers trembled slightly.

Would he have any reason not to be willing?

In the crowded food stalls, he seemed to see Xu Zhihan sitting on the empty chair opposite with his chin propped up and smiling.

"He Wufei, take a look at the world for me."

So he nodded slightly, so small that it was almost imperceptible.

Of course, plastic cups can't touch a crisp, ceremonial sound.

But at this time, he only felt that he was already a stagnant life, and suddenly because of the collision of this cup, there were miraculous waves.
