Yuan Wu stood at the entrance of the corridor, watching Lin Chengbu angrily reverse his car, hit the guardrail of the flowerbed next to him, then turned his head with a squeak, and drove away.
For some reason, he wanted to laugh a little, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Lin Chengbu.
-The left lampshade is broken.
When he turned around and was about to walk to the elevator, Lin Chengbu's phone called: "What are you looking at, go upstairs!"
"It's all over." Yuan Wu said.
"Don't turn off your phone, right?" Lin Chengbu said.
Yuan Wu hesitated for a moment: "Well."
"I'm not going to call you if I have nothing to do," Lin Chengbu said, "but if you call me, it will be turned off, it will be very irritable, uncle."
"Understood," Yuan Wu pressed the elevator button, "don't make phone calls while driving."
"How could I drive a car to fight," Lin Chengbu said, "I stopped on the side of the road to fight."
"Come on, the police are here to tow the truck." Yuan Wu said.
After hanging up the phone, he got into the elevator, not knowing why, but still wanted to laugh a little.
The fire hasn't been released recently, and he can't figure out whether it's good or bad.
Dr. Liang asked him to control, mainly to control his wild thoughts. He tried to control it. Did he control his temper and lose control of his temper
Can't figure it out.
When he got home and wanted to take a shower, he stood by the sprinkler and waited for a long time. The water that came out was still cold. He took a look outside and found that the water heater did not know when the light went out.
After he came back, the water heater was on 24 hours a day and never turned off... He flipped the switch, but the light still didn't come on.
After pressing nine, nine or eighty times, he finally determined that the water heater was broken.
He irritably kicked the bucket next to him.
It's a little bit happy, but still has a temper.
Now that it's cold, it's not realistic to take a cold shower. He can only boil a few pots of water in a boiling kettle and take a shower.
This bath is not as good as on a boat. There is also a small water heater that burns gas, but sometimes it suddenly goes crazy and cannot be adjusted, and the water that comes out can fade chicken feathers.
After taking a shower, I looked at the time, it was still early, and I didn't feel sleepy.
Standing in the middle of the living room, he suddenly realized that he didn't know what to do.
After standing for a while, he sat down on the sofa and opened his notebook.
He has put Yuanshen's notebook back in the rental house. Everything about Yuanshen has been sealed there. Grandparents will not use it. It is estimated that no one will open the notebook again.
Yuan Wu leaned his head back on the sofa. In this case, Yuan Shen's stories would no longer appear in the space where he once existed, and no one would be able to contact him and laugh a glass of wine.
After closing the door, Won Shin disappeared.
Are we living in our own minds or in the memories of others
There is no standard answer to Won Shin's question, but maybe this ending confirms what he has always thought. He desperately wants to prove that he once existed, but in the end...
"Ah." Yuan Wu stood up from the sofa and glanced at the clock on the wall. According to his own plan, the current time period is not the time he should use to think about Yuan Shen.
He picked up the cross stitch from the table.
Come on, Father.
This is what he prepared to embroider and gave it to Lin Chengbu, but he hasn't even embroidered his face for so long... But he feels that he should be much stronger than Lin Chengbu, at least now he is very powerful and hasn't stuck out. The thread that can't be ripped off!
But after poking at Father's face for half an hour, he got a little bored.
Dropped Heavenly Father and picked up the notebook again.
Buy a water heater.
Maybe it was because he would see his name when checking the balance and chose to avoid it unconsciously. He hadn't checked his balance for a long time.
In fact, he had no idea of how much money he had before. He worked in a bar for a lot of money. He played with cars for a long time. He could also make money by helping people buy a car and sell a car. counted...
He opened the balance with some unease and glanced at it.
… Father in heaven!
There is money, but not much.
He dug out his other cards and checked them one by one. There was still a little bit in one card, and he was relieved.
I can hold on for a while longer, until my condition is better and I can go back to the bar.
Yuan Wu lay down on the sofa.
Dr. Liang said that he could go back to work at the bar, and it would be good for him to return to a familiar environment.
But he always insisted on waiting for his emotions to stabilize before thinking about it... Is he still avoiding it? Avoid what? A person who is isolated from the world and living in his own spiritual world suddenly wakes up and becomes afraid of a new world that has become a little strange around him
Yuan Wu smiled.
Maybe.
Or just lazy.
Lin Chengbu said what he said, and did not run to sit on the bench across the street.
Yuan Wu still took a pair of binoculars every day, but Lin Chengbu never came back.
No phone calls, no messages, as he promised.
Gee.
Yuan Wu looked at the calendar, there were only two days until the check-out date circled with a pen, and he looked at the key next to him.
Time to find grandparents.
He didn't know if it was necessary for him to do this, but like a certain procedure, for so many years, he needed to face two old people face to face.
He wanted to pull himself back into the real reality.
The words that had hurt him, and the cold eyes.
Those two old men who scared him, resisted and kept away from Won Shin.
He took a breath, closed his eyes and let it out slowly, picked up the phone, and called Lin Chengbu.
"Good morning!" Lin Chengbu's voice was filled with happiness.
"Good morning," Yuan Wu said, "do you go to work today?"
"Today's rest," Lin Chengbu said, "are you going out?"
"Well," Yuan Wu glanced at the key, "I'm going to... grandparents' house."
"Then I'll go pick you up now?" Lin Chengbu asked.
"Okay." Yuan Wu was suddenly a little nervous.
"Have you eaten breakfast yet?" Lin Chengbu asked again, "I'll bring you some."
"Okay." Yuan Wu replied.
Lin Cheng came quickly, and when the doorbell rang, Yuan Wu had just boiled water and finished washing.
"Your meal, sir." Lin Chengbu leaned against the door, holding a lunch box in his hand.
"What did you do?" Yuan Wu found out that it wasn't the fast food box that contained the breakfast.
"Well," Lin Chengbu nodded, "fried dumplings."
"Just buy whatever you want," Yuan Wu took the lunch box, "It's too troublesome to make it yourself."
"It's not specially made for you," Lin Chengbu said, "I ate leftovers in the morning."
Yuan Wu glanced at him.
"I didn't finish it, I didn't bite the rest." Lin Chengbu added.
"...You don't explain that I'm not that disgusting yet." Yuan Wu sighed.
"Hurry up and eat," Lin Cheng walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take a look, "Why don't you stock up on milk or something..."
"I don't have that habit." Yuan Wu opened the lunch box, and was too lazy to pick up his chopsticks, so he squeezed a dumpling with his hands and went out to eat.
"Then you can eat." Lin Chengbu said.
After eating the dumplings, Yuan Wu slowly went to wash the lunch box. After washing, he stood by the sink and held the lunch box to drain the water.
"Yuan Wu," Lin Chengbu called to him from behind, "Don't you really want to go?"
"No," Yuan Wu said, "I have to go."
"Yeah." Lin Chengbu responded.
"What?" Yuan Wu looked back at him.
"No, I think you can really dawdle." Lin Chengbu glanced at the lunch box in his hand.
Yuan Wu smiled and threw the lunch box to him: "I'll change clothes."
Yuan Wu had a strange feeling when he gave out the address of his grandparents' house. Although he lived there for more than ten years, he found that he couldn't even remember the surrounding environment at the moment when he gave the address.
It’s been too long since Yuan Shen committed suicide. He only went back once after Yuan Shen committed suicide. The time was very short. In less than half an hour, he was blasted out by his grandparents crying.
Lin Chengbu didn't know the way, but he didn't ask Yuan Wu how to go, so he turned on the navigation.
Yuan Wu held an envelope in his hand with the address of the rental house and the key to the house.
He just held the envelope like this, tapped lightly on his lap, and looked out the window.
When we were halfway through, Yuan Wu pointed out the window: "Turn in that road, that's our school."
"High school?" Lin Chengbu looked up at the street sign.
"Well," Yuan Wu nodded, "I haven't come back since I graduated, and there is no change here at the intersection."
"Want to go in and take a look?" Lin Chengbu slowed down.
"No," Yuan Wu shook his head, "I don't have any memory of the school, and I don't know what to remember when I see it."
Lin Chengbu stepped on the accelerator, and the car continued to drive forward.
He was also looking at the street scenes on both sides. This side is the west of the city. He has hardly been there, but this is the place where Yuan Wu has lived for more than ten years.
When the navigation prompt "The destination is on the right side of the road ahead", Yuan Wu, who had been leaning against the co-pilot, sat up straight.
"Is it here? The front?" Lin Chengbu asked.
In front of it is a very old residential area, mostly four or five-story buildings. The buildings are mixed with chickens, ducks and flowers, and the doors on the first floor of many floors face the sidewalk.
"Well," Yuan Wu responded in a low voice, "You drive slowly."
"Okay." Lin Chengbu slowed down and rubbed forward a little bit along the road.
After rubbing for five or six hundred meters, Yuan Wu flicked his finger on the car window lightly: "Stop."
Lin Chengbu stopped the car.
Yuan Wu looked out of the car window, no one moved, so he just kept looking out.
Lin Chengbu leaned beside him and looked in the direction he was looking. Beside the pile of debris between the two buildings, several old men were sitting at a small table playing chess.
Yuan Wu's eyes stayed on them, and he remained stunned.
"Is that your grandfather?" Lin Chengbu asked, "Which one?"
"Wait for me in the car." Yuan Wu looked back at him.
Lin Chengbu nodded: "Let's go after you give me the key. I won't say anything if I have nothing to say."
"Yeah." Yuan Wu pushed open the door and jumped out of the car.
Nothing has changed in this area. Seeing the building in front of you, the old furniture piled up in a mess, and the chickens running all over the floor, that kind of distant but familiar atmosphere is wrapped around Yuan Wu.
That's right.
It is here that he has lived for more than ten years, but he hardly wants to recall the "home".
Grandpa was sitting there, 20 meters away from him, watching others play chess.
The old man is old, much older than he remembered, with deep wrinkles, age spots, and few white hairs left...
Really old.
Yuan Wu stopped five or six meters away from the small table.
An old man playing chess raised his eyes and glanced here, and after a few seconds of stunned he pushed the grandfather next to him: "Hey Lao Yuan, is that your eldest grandson? Yuan Wu?"
Grandpa's hand trembled, he raised his head abruptly, and looked over here.
Yuan Wu hesitated for a moment after meeting his eyes, and called out, "Grandpa."
Grandpa stood up slowly and walked a few steps towards him. His lips were shaking, his hands were shaking, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"I..." Yuan Wu suppressed the urge to turn his head and leave, but he was interrupted as soon as he spoke.
"What are you doing here!" Grandpa raised his trembling hand and pointed at him, "What are you doing here!"
"Lao Yuan, Lao Yuan," the old men next to him stood up and grabbed Grandpa, "What are you doing, Yuan Wu hasn't come back for so many years..."
"Get out of here!" Grandpa shook off a few old men and wanted to rush over, "Get out!"
Yuan Wu did not speak, and took a step back.
"Don't do this! Lao Yuan, don't do this!" Several old men were in a mess, persuading and pulling.
Grandpa should be very angry and very energetic. When he wanted to pounce, it was a little hard for the old men to pull him.
Yuan Wu stood there and watched silently. Such a grandfather was very different from the grandfather's always indifferent expression towards him in his memory.
Unexplainable strangeness.
In fact, it was quite unfamiliar at first. Most of the time, his grandfather felt that he was just Yuan Shen's grandfather.
Superfluous, he always felt, he was superfluous.
Perhaps it is because of this that Won Shin feels that he is superfluous.
Maybe, everyone is redundant.
Lin Cheng stepped out of the car, stood by the car door and looked over there.
He couldn't see Yuan Wu's expression, he only knew that Yuan Wu had always stood five or six paces away from the old man, but he could see the old man's appearance.
Anger, hatred, clearly written all over his face, and the "go away" that knocked into Lin Chengbu's ears, he gritted his teeth and didn't rush over immediately.
Maybe there was a lot of movement, and a door next to it opened, and an old lady ran out of it.
Lin Chengbu had just guessed that she might be Yuan Wu's grandmother, but the old lady had already pounced on it. Before Lin Chengbu could react, she slapped Yuan Wu's face with a slap.
"You're here to ask for your life!" the old lady roared, her fighting power was much stronger than the old man. Although she was thin, she was full of vigor and had a very fast attack speed. Yuan Wu had just raised her hand to block it, and she was already facing Yuan Wu. out several times.
popping.
"I'll fuck you uncle!" Lin Chengbu kicked the car door and rushed over.
Yuan Wu didn't seem to want to dodge or turn back. When Lin Chengbu rushed to his side and pulled him away, he saw the calm and indifferent expression on his face, and there was a trace of daze.
"What are you doing!" Lin Chengbu pushed the old lady.
After the old lady was stunned for a moment, she looked back at the ground, and then sat down: "Oh, what are you doing, you brought someone here to beat our old man and old lady—"
"Fuck me?" Lin Chengbu was shocked, and he was a little at a loss when facing the old lady's cry.
Taking advantage of this moment, the old man also rushed over and pushed him hard: "What do you want to do! Kill people!"
"I wanted to kill you two five minutes before you two were fucking dead!" Lin Chengbu came back to his senses and shouted at the old man, "I still want to touch porcelain here! Damn you two! "
This voice was quite shocking, and Lin Chengbu himself was a little dizzy from the shock.
The old man was stunned by his roar and stared at him. He pointed at the old lady on the ground and continued to roar: "You think he wants to come! Just fuck you dicks, and he won't necessarily give you two the end! I Hold!"
After this sentence was shouted, the group of people at the scene quieted down, Lin Chengbu couldn't care to analyze whether he shouted too loudly or the content of the shout was too rebellious, and looked back at Yuan Wu: "What's the thing? Give it to them. "
Yuan Wu looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"Laughter," Lin Chengbu was stunned, "Give it to them, let's go."
Yuan Wu walked up to the old man, took out the envelope and put it in his vest pocket: "There is an address and a key in it. Yuan Shen rented a house, and he still has a lot of things in it."
The old man looked at him, and the old lady quickly got up from the ground, took the envelope and poured out the key, pinching it tightly: "A house rented by Yuan Shen?"
"The house expires the day after tomorrow," Yuan Wu said. "If you don't clean it up, the landlord will throw it away."
"Yuanshen's stuff?" The old man asked after recovering his strength.
Yuan Wu didn't answer, and turned around to leave.
"You're standing!" cried the old lady. "Why are you telling us now! He's been dead for two years! You're telling us now? What do you mean!"
"It doesn't make any sense." Yuan Wu didn't look back. After saying this, he quickly walked back to the car, opened the door and got in the car.
"If he wants to say it, he will say it, if he doesn't want to say it, he won't say it! I'll tell you all, what the fuck is this old man!" Lin Chengbu couldn't swallow this breath, if it wasn't for Yuan Wu already getting into the car, he would have thought about it. Standing here and scolding for 80 rounds, "I've opened my eyes today. Mr. Lin has lived for 26 years, and it's the first time I've seen you so muddled!"
The old man and the old lady shouted something from behind, but Mr. Lin didn't listen carefully, and didn't want to listen any more. He jumped on the car and kicked the accelerator to the end, and the car rushed out without paying attention to the direction.
After driving forward for several streets, Lin Chengbu stopped the car on the side of the road and turned on the navigation to find the way back.
"I'll point it to you." Yuan Wu said.
"Okay," Lin Chengbu stopped and turned to look at him, "Are you... all right?"
"It's okay now." Yuan Wu smiled.
Lin Chengbu didn't say a word, just looked at him, Yuan Wu's smile was so bitter that his heart twitched.
Helpless, sad, disappointed... This smile is mixed with so many flavors that even a dull person like himself can taste it.
"You..." Lin Chengbu looked at the red on his left cheek, "You are too fucking bearable."
Yes, it's too bearable. Lin Chengbu never thought that Yuan Wu, who has always been short-tempered, would be so silent and forbearing when confronted by grandparents and grandparents who were beaten and scolded like enemies without any reason and regardless of the occasion. .
"Really," Yuan Wu touched his face, "I'm used to it, it's just... inertia."
"Wait for me," Lin Chengbu looked at the side of the road, "I'll go buy a bottle of water and freeze it, or I'll get swollen in a while."
"I feel swollen," Yuan Wu frowned, "It's like it's burning."
Lin Chengbu ran to the small supermarket on the side of the road, rummaged in the freezer for a long time, turned over a bottle of mineral water with ice stubble from the bottom, and ran back to the car.
He opened the passenger car door, wrapped the bottle with a small towel, and stuck it on Yuan Wu's face.
"Hey," Yuan Wu took the bottle, froze for a while, and looked at him, "I really didn't notice you talking so rudely before."
"Is it rough?" Lin Chengbu snorted, "It's normal, I'm not a high-quality person. I used to be a car repairer and then a cook... But if I hadn't been on fire, I wouldn't have said it so ugly."
"Thank... oh, don't say thank you," Yuan Wu sighed, "how do you say that?"
"Needless to say," Lin Chengbu leaned against the car door, "Just let me kiss you when you're in a good mood."
