Before going home, Luo Jian took all the important things he could bring, his weapons, his combat uniform, and his mission prizes, all stuffed into the big backpack, although I don't know if his parents will let Luo Jian He comes into the house, but thorough preparation for this is essential.
Then Luo Jian carried a big travel bag and got on the long-distance bus back home. After about two hours in the car, he arrived at his destination. A small town, neither remote nor prosperous, but with a large population Still a lot.
Luo Jian remembered that she was born in this small town. According to his mother, there was only one hospital in the town at that time, and anyone who was sick would go to the hospital to register. The wards were always full. Luo Jian was Born there, under crowded conditions, there were five or six pregnant women in the delivery room, and the nurses were too busy. Luo Jian was completely born by his mother without supervision.
Luo Jian was not fussy, and the birth was very smooth, and she jumped out of his mother's belly in no time. Although she seemed to be healthy, she developed many problems after taking it home for a few months. However, although I suffered a lot, I recovered quickly, and I was always screaming and running around within a few days.
Who was not playful or curious when he was young? Luo Jian was also like this. She would draw inexplicable graffiti on the wall, dig earthworms in the grass, and fight with her friends. Luo Jian never went to kindergarten, it was his mother Taught him to speak and read word by word. Later, when he was in elementary school, I don’t remember when, I met A Lan who was in the same class. I found out that I was not only in the same class, but also a neighbor, and then we got along better. I grew up day by day. I watched It has changed the state of the world until today.
Luo Jian thought about the time when he walked a long road and took a bus. After more than ten minutes, he finally arrived at his former home, the place where he grew up. Jane, he hasn't come back here for many years.
It is a dilapidated residential building. Climb through the narrow stairwell to the second floor and turn left, which is the door of his house.
It was exactly the same as before, with mottled rust on the door, couplets and banners pasted on it, and some black advertisements written in black pen on the wall, such as certificate application: XXXXX, etc., and Luo Jian stood stupidly in front of this door After a long time, I took a deep breath, and just when I reached out to knock on the door, there was a sound from the stairwell behind.
"Yes... is it Ah Jian?"
Luo Jian trembled, turned her head to look behind her, and then called out with difficulty: "Uncle Wu."
It was an old man who used to live upstairs in his house, and his children were all wandering outside. The old man originally had a wife, but he passed away a few years ago, and now there is only the old man left. Luo Jian used to have a good relationship with this old man Wu , the old man lives alone, it is always inconvenient, when Luo Jian is free, he will go to Uncle Wu's house to help him clean the floor and clean the floor, and then Uncle Wu will prepare delicious snacks in return.
Leaning on crutches, the old man shook his head and sighed, "You boy, why are you only coming back now? What did you do all these years ago?"
Luo Jian hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Are my parents there?"
Uncle Wu just sighed and shook his head: "It's late, it's late."
Luo Jian's heart was cold for half a year, and she suddenly became restless: "Why is it late? Has something happened to my family?"
"It's all right." Uncle Wu shook his head: "Your parents went to stay at your uncle's house for two days, and you came back right after you left."
"My uncle?" Luo Jian didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to go home, but her parents happened to be not here, so Luo Jian could only stand there, stunned for a long time. Uncle Wu next to him seemed to see what Luo Jian was thinking in his heart. He was very happy that Luo Jian had returned, and said with a smile, "Would you like to come to my house and sit for a while?"
"No... I still have something to do..." Luo Jian shook her head and refused, but asked Uncle Wu uneasy: "Master, do you still live alone?"
Uncle Wu seemed to have thought of something happier, smiled brightly, and said, "My son comes to live with me."
"That's good." Luo Jian was relieved, and said to Uncle Wu: "I'll go to my uncle's house, so I won't say much."
Then Luo Jian bid farewell to Uncle Wu, and thought about going to his uncle's house. Luo Jian's family is considered thinly populated. Almost all elder relatives died of illness or accidental death. Among relatives, apart from parents, only Uncle Luo Jian and his family are left, but unfortunately, uncle and his wife are also there. He died in a car accident. The only son, Luo Jian's cousin, disappeared more than ten years ago, and he was only fifteen years old when he disappeared.
His wife passed away, his son disappeared, and the uncle who had been depressed for two years did not remarry. Instead, he vented his energy on his career, opened a store, and the business became more and more popular, breaking a new world.
Uncle's house is not far from here, just two streets away, Luo Jian walked very slowly with a big backpack on his back, but when he just walked one street, Luo Jian encountered an unexpected thing , He saw a man, wearing a black hooded sweater, black jeans, tall and slender, with a large guitar bag on his back, the kind of big backpack that holds a guitar. He walked past Luo Jian with his head down, wearing a hood, he couldn't see what the man looked like, but Luo Jian suddenly felt a palpitation.
There was a strange premonition.
Luo Jian stopped with a big travel bag on her back, and looked back at the man who passed by. The back of the man looked very familiar, but mixed with strangeness. Luo Jian glanced twice, and the other party quickly disappeared into the vast crowd, and there was no reason to go forward to ask questions, so Luo Jian shook his head, thinking that he was probably hallucinating, so he felt that anyone's back looked very different. familiar.
When she reached her uncle's house, Luo Jian hesitated for a while before knocking on the door. After waiting for a while, the door opened. Luo Jian didn't even dare to look up to see who opened the door. It took a long time No one spoke either. After a while, Luo Jian suddenly felt a big hand on his head, rubbed it twice, and heard someone shouting: "Old man! Your son is back!"
So Luo Jian pursed her lips, raised her head, and called Mom.
Luo Jian's father is Luo Yucheng. He was a soldier when he was young, but retired due to injury within a few years. Luo Jian's mother is Ning Xia. Her ancestors studied Chinese medicine in the past, but in Ning Xia's generation, she didn't know what evil she had committed. Her relatives died and passed away, and the family books and knowledge passed down from her ancestors were basically cut off.
However, Luo Jian's mother is a reasonable person. Regarding her son's affairs, she didn't think there was anything wrong with homosexuality. At most, she had been depressed for two days, and then she suddenly thought about it. Let her son do whatever he likes, as long as If you can be safe and happy, that would be great.
But Luo Jian's father didn't think so. He couldn't understand from the beginning to the end how he could raise such a big son to be gay, so he firmly opposed it. He thought that as long as he found a girlfriend for his son, as long as Luo Jian thought of him as a man If you should be with a woman in the first place, then all problems can be easily solved.
These things turned Luo Jian's family upside down back then, but Feng Yulan was not a troublemaker, so he also came to participate, insisting that he was Luo Jian's lover, so the two families quarreled , Such a quarrel could not be reconciled for a while, so Luo Jian and Alan ran away from home in a frenzy. Of course, in the eyes of the parents, they called it 'elopement'.
Luo Jian also asked Feng Yulan the reason why he wanted to 'elope' with her. Alan was very optimistic and said: "You are my good brother, so naturally I will hang out with you."
But Luo Jian obviously wouldn't believe such a perfunctory reason. After being pressed in every possible way, Alan smiled bitterly and told the truth: My parents forced me to marry a girl I didn't know. I didn't want to marry, so I left with you.
Some things, start very complicated, end very simple.
Four or five years later, when I saw my parents again, no one mentioned what happened that day. Luo Jian's mother just walked around Luo Jian, looked up and down, frowned and said, "Son, why are you so angry?" Thin?"
"I'm not skinny, I have muscles!"
"Where are the muscles, why didn't I see them?"
"Of course you can't see it if it's blocked by clothes." Luo Jian took his mother's hand, only to feel that the old man had more wrinkles and a lot of gray hair. Seeing her parents, thinking of this, Luo Jian couldn't help but burst into tears. She only blamed herself for being too stupid and persistent. Why didn't she come back to see her parents earlier
"You kid, you finally remember to come back." Luo Jian's father had a straight face, but his tone was still gentle, and he also came over and rubbed Luo Jian's head, and said with a wry smile: "The child is not obedient when he grows up. "
Luo Jian was also speechless, so she just lowered her head and said nothing. Fortunately, Luo Jian's father didn't pursue too much. He pulled Luo Jian into the house and sat down around him. Seeing the situation, he planned to question him about his whereabouts in the past few years. Luo Jian was also ready to answer all questions, but Unexpectedly, the mother would ask such a question as soon as she opened her mouth: "Ah Jian, how are you and Alan doing?"
Luo Jian was embarrassed for a moment, thought for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Mom and Dad, Ah Lan...we are not in that kind of relationship."
Luo Jian's parents peeked at each other, and seemed to be aware of their son's embarrassment in this regard, so they didn't continue to ask, but started to ask other questions intermittently, such as how is life going? Is there enough money to spend? What new friends have you made, what do you want to do, trivial interesting things in life, etc.
This conversation was endless. When it was time for dinner, Luo Jian's uncle came back. He seemed to be taken aback when he saw Luo Jian when he entered the door. He turned to look at Luo Jian's father and asked, "Ah Jian is coming back gone?"
Luo Jian's father shook his head helplessly: "This kid can't survive outside, so he came back crying to find his mother."
Luo Jian's uncle is Luo Jincheng, the eldest brother of Luo Jian's father. It is said that he has committed crimes before and spent a year or two in prison, but Luo Jian has never heard of these things in detail from his parents. Now this old man is just an ordinary honest person who goes to work and returns home every day.
After having dinner at his uncle's house, Luo Jian asked why his parents came to live at his uncle's house. When he mentioned this, Luo Jian's father's face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "It's a bit strange to say this. .”
"Strange?" Luo Jian became curious, "Let's hear it, maybe I can solve it."
"Your uncle, he seems to be being targeted recently."
"Ah?" Luo Jian was a little surprised, and said inconceivably, "Uncle shouldn't have caused any trouble outside! How could he be targeted?"
"I don't know if that counts as 'being watched'." At this moment, the uncle interjected, frowning and said, "It's just that there is always a feeling of being watched recently, and it feels like someone is walking on the street. Looking at me, it's strange."
