Jiang Cheng's voice was very low, as if he didn't want the people next to him to hear it, Gu Fei nodded and answered, but if he wanted to carry him down, let alone the policemen and the aunts and sisters nearby, it was over there. Li Baoguo can probably see it.
Moreover... Jiang Cheng's teeth marks on his thighs had just been made, but they were still red and swollen at the moment, he couldn't carry them at all, he hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "You will rub your teeth marks on your back. Okay, I... hold you down?"
"Let your fart." Although Jiang Cheng was still very quiet, he still refused.
"That's alright." Gu Fei sighed, grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm and put it on his shoulder, wrapped his arms around his waist, turned slightly sideways, almost pulled Jiang Cheng off the ground, and started to move towards him. Go down the stairs.
There is no problem with ordinary stairs in this posture, but the stairs leading to the roof of this old building are iron-framed stairs, so there is no problem with going down with someone on your back. It is a little more difficult to go down with one arm around Jiang Cheng.
He could feel Jiang Cheng's whole body softening, which was probably not only a fear of heights, but also a shocking disappointment to Li Baoguo.
He had to drag on the stairs with one hand and put his arms around Jiang Cheng with the other. He basically used the strength of one hand and one leg to get Jiang Cheng down the stairs. In the last step, his arm hurt a little bit, and he almost pulled Jiang Cheng down. Throw it directly on the ground.
After letting go of his hand, Jiang Cheng leaned against the wall and slowly crouched down to the ground.
On the rooftop, Li Baoguo was still scolding, with Li Qian's crying and the police's constant persuasion. Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, he could still hear depression and irritability in his tone of voice.
"Go down?" Gu Fei bent down on his knees and looked at him.
"Well," Jiang Cheng frowned and took two deep breaths, stood up, and pressed his stomach again, "Fuck, I want to vomit."
"Then throw up." Gu Fei said.
"Be civilized, the steel mill is my home," Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "It is up to everyone to take care of you."
Gu Fei laughed and squeezed on his shoulder: "Then go find a garbage dump to vomit."
Jiang Cheng didn't say a word, closed his eyes and slowed down again, but the chaos on the roof of the top floor seemed to make him unable to recover, he sighed, lowered his head and supported the railings and walked downstairs.
Gu Fei followed behind him, listening to the sound on the rooftop getting smaller.
Just two floors down, a roar came from downstairs: "If you miss, you will die! Who are you squatting there to scare you! You are sick!"
Jiang Cheng’s footsteps stopped, the door of a family on the fifth floor was open, and the people in the house were lying at the window watching the excitement, as soon as the roar came, the family immediately became excited: “His eldest son is here, this There's a lot of trouble!"
Gu Fei gently pushed behind Jiang Cheng: "Let's go."
Jiang Cheng turned around and continued to walk downstairs, walking a little slowly, perhaps because he would run into Li Hui when he went downstairs, and people he didn't want to see appeared one after another.
"Let's go get something to eat in a while," Gu Fei interrupted, "How about going to Jiuri's house to eat pies? I haven't eaten in a long time."
"Well," Jiang Cheng replied, "But at this point, there used to be no donkey meat. I quite like eating donkey meat."
"You can eat... tenderloin," Gu Fei looked at Jiang Cheng's back, "Didn't you say last time that tenderloin is delicious? Eat tenderloin."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.
The more he went downstairs, the louder Li Hui's voice became. Gu Fei felt that he had known Li Hui for so many years, and he had never seen him so angry. The energy of scolding Li Baoguo was like a mortal enemy for many years, even Li Baoguo seemed to be When he regained his energy, he stopped coughing and gasping. He scolded quite loudly. The loud voice echoed repeatedly in the corridor, and he couldn't make out what he was scolding.
The police and the people from the neighborhood committee must have regretted calling him, but Li Baoguo's request was to see Li Hui, so he couldn't come down if he didn't see him, and if he saw him, he yelled at him and didn't know when he would come down. This kind of dilemma was not easy to handle. .
The only thing that feels happy is probably the onlookers.
The people here live on several chessboard roads that are crisscrossed like dead water. Every intersection will eventually return to the original point. Repeatedly, several generations may repeat the same road, and you don't even need to look up. Looking ahead, you can follow the road repeatedly to the end of the day.
People downstairs looking up with their necks up, people downstairs with their heads sticking out of the window and people listening with their ears closed, most people have long lost hope, or never have. However, I don't even think about it at all, the only fun is probably watching the chaos and pain around me.
Someone is more confused than oneself, someone is more miserable than oneself, that is the greatest joy.
Gu Fei didn't know how this farce would end today. Li Hui was tougher than ever before. The last time Li Baoguo slashed someone with a knife, he went up to grab the knife while scolding, and hit Li Baoguo by the way. Today, he didn't mean to back down. The distance of several floors was so loud that it seemed like a mighty poem recitation.
Maybe it's because Li Baoguo's trouble this time has something to do with his illness, illness, and money. This is a terrible thing for a special product of a steel mill.
Worth a huge brawl.
"I really don't know," Jiang Cheng said in a low voice, "Why can they live like this for decades and a lifetime."
"You don't need to know," Gu Fei said, "you don't need to live like this, you just need to live your own life. There are so many people in this world, and the diversity of species can always be maintained."
Jiang Cheng looked back at him: "You are illiterate."
"Well," Gu Fei smiled, "I am one of them, and so are you."
"I quite like you like this." Jiang Cheng said.
"I also like you like this," Gu Fei said, "and you are still a rare breed to me, I never thought I could pick it up before."
Jiang Cheng laughed, and his steps downstairs seemed to be lighter.
However, when he reached the gate of Li Baoguo on the first floor, Jiang Cheng still paused, because Li Hui was standing at the entrance of the corridor, and the cursing voice passed through the corridor, and even Gu Fei felt that the eardrum was uncomfortable with the resonating buzzing sound.
"It's you who is talking about the old disrespect! Don't call me stupid! You are not fucking qualified!" Li Hui pointed to the upstairs and shouted, "Don't fucking tell me how I treat you! How can I treat you? It's all your retribution!"
Jiang Cheng didn't go forward, Gu Fei also stopped, leaning on the stair railing behind him and listening to Li Hui's roar outside, the people around were also persuading half-truths, but these persuasion was like air to Li Hui , and occasionally a few words will poke his anger.
The group of people who originally came to see the show gradually began to have some dramas. Li Hui and Li Baoguo were a little too excited, and they ran away in the direction of losing control.
"Li Hui, don't say a few words," an aunt pulled Li Hui's arm, "I said something bad, how long can your dad live, he can't scold you if he wants to, why do you... "
"It's better if he's dead now!" Li Hui flicked his arm and pointed upstairs, "I'll watch you humiliate and beat people for the rest of my life! You're a fucking ass!"
"Don't say it—don't say it! Enough is enough!" Li Qian's hoarse and crying voice suddenly came from upstairs, sharp and desperate, "What do you want!"
"He wants me to die!" Li Baoguo's voice sounded like a thunderbolt.
Before Li Hui and Li Qian could speak again, terrified screams suddenly erupted from upstairs and downstairs at the same time.
Then Gu Fei heard the sound of a cement bag hitting the ground outside the corridor, a dull and huge sound, and it seemed that people's breathing and heartbeat seemed to stop.
At the same time as this alarming sound, a small black shadow flew past the entrance of the corridor and fell to the ground, only then did Gu Fei see clearly that it was a shoe.
The uninterrupted screams, the chaotic roars, and the terrified cries of women and children erupted all around. In just a few seconds, it seemed to fill all the space, leaving people nowhere to hide. , with nowhere to hide.
Gu Fei rushed forward after a brief blank, hugged Jiang Cheng, and covered his eyes with his hands.
Jiang Cheng's entire body was rigid, but he was surprisingly obedient, like a robot that had been cut off from the power supply. When he covered Jiang Cheng's eyes and pushed Jiang Cheng out of the corridor, Jiang Cheng was just like that. It moved with him mechanically, without a sound and without a trace of resistance.
The people around were a mess. Gu Fei didn't look in the direction of Li Baoguo's last leap. He quietly watched the people here living as if suffocating, but he didn't want to see the end of his life again.
This experience is once, and I will never be willing to witness a second time in my life.
In the chaos, no one noticed Jiang Cheng who was taken away from the scene by him, and Li Hui downstairs was silent, but Li Qian could still be heard screaming and crying on the roof. Screaming loudly.
It's like singing for the bravest scene in Li Baoguo's life.
Gu Fei didn't know where to take Jiang Cheng, all the places he could go belonged here, and they belonged to the "Li Baoguo-like" atmosphere.
He didn't know what state Jiang Cheng was in right now, and he couldn't judge what kind of reaction Jiang Cheng would react after a few minutes later. In the end, he could only pull Jiang Cheng back to the store.
On the road, I met a lot of people who ran towards Li Baoguo. When they ran past them, they would cast eyes full of excitement and curiosity, but they still walked big and fast. After all, the living are not as wonderful as the dead.
Everyone lives like this, but not everyone dies like that.
Gu Fei pushed Jiang Cheng into the hut in the store, and then closed the store door with his hand. Today, my mother was watching the store, but there was no one at the moment. I didn’t know if it was to watch the fun or go on a date with my little lover.
After closing the door of the store, Gu Fei turned around, Jiang Cheng had already rushed out of the hut and ran towards the backyard.
When Gu Fei followed him, Jiang Cheng had already entered the toilet, and he was spitting up against the wall. From a distance of two meters, he could see Jiang Cheng’s hands trembling against the wall.
He went back to the store to get two bottles of water and went back to the toilet. Jiang Cheng was still vomiting, but he couldn't vomit anything, he just kept retching.
He stood silently behind Jiang Cheng, and waited until Jiang Cheng stopped vomiting, then said, "Do you want water?"
Jiang Cheng didn't speak, and stretched out his hand behind him.
Gu Fei unscrewed the bottle cap and put the bottle in his hand.
"Go out and wait for me," Jiang Cheng raised his head and spit out two sips of water, "I'm fine."
"I've left another bottle here." Gu Fei unscrewed the cap of the other bottle of water and put it on the side of the sink.
"En." Jiang Cheng continued to raise his head to pour water.
Gu Fei returned to the yard, stood there for a while, then lit a cigarette and drank.
After smoking about half a cigarette, he felt a little calmer. No matter what kind of person Li Baoguo was or what he did, in the end, Li Baoguo ended his life in this way. For those who are not too busy, it is a shock that cannot be digested for a while.
It was only now that Gu Fei felt the burning pain on his collarbone again.
He didn't know if Jiang Cheng's thigh pain had come back, but when he first saw Jiang Cheng vomit, he also stood with his legs spread apart... Of course, normally no one would put their legs together when he vomited...
Gu Fei wanted to laugh inexplicably, he raised his head with a cigarette in his mouth and laughed silently for a while before he stopped.
After smoking a cigarette, Jiang Cheng walked out of the toilet, his steps were a little erratic, but the expression on his face was quite calm.
"Is it better?" Gu Fei asked.
"The bitter gall water is spit out," Jiang Cheng frowned, bent over and pressed his stomach, "It's uncomfortable."
"Go in and lie down for a while?" Gu Fei asked again.
"I can't lie down," Jiang Cheng straightened up and walked into the store, hooked his feet over a small stool and sat down, "I just want to sit like this right now."
"Then get together." Gu Fei also took a small low stool and sat opposite him.
Jiang Cheng rested his elbows on his knees for a while: "Li Baoguo jumped off the building, didn't he?"
"...Yes." Gu Fei hesitated for two seconds before answering.
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand in front of him.
"Do you want water?" Gu Fei looked at his hand, and after he finished asking, he still reached out to dig in his palm, "Do you still want to eat?"
"Smoke," Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "Where's the tacit agreement?"
"I'm scared to get lost." Gu Fei took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoked one, and put it in his hand along with the lighter.
"Li Baoguo jumped off the building." Jiang Cheng lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and looked at the bright cigarette butt.
"Yes." Gu Fei looked at him.
"I... feel a little uncomfortable." Jiang Cheng frowned and bit his lip.
"Don't talk about you," Gu Fei sighed, "I feel very uncomfortable."
"You said," Jiang Cheng looked up at him, "Did he see it when I was leaving?"
Gu Fei didn't speak. Facing the unusually calm Jiang Cheng, he suddenly didn't dare to answer casually.
"I said I don't want to hear anything from him anymore," Jiang Cheng said, "Did he hear it?"
"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei moved the stool forward, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Well, I know," Jiang Cheng nodded, "I know, but my first reaction is still this, is it because of my actions, what I said..."
"No, not at all." Gu Fei interrupted him.
"You know," Jiang Cheng paused for a while, frowning, "sometimes people are like this, I say this, I ask you so much, I just want someone to tell me that such consequences are not caused by me. , trying to pluck himself out of a disaster."
"It's different," Gu Fei looked at him, "you know it very well, you don't need someone to tell you, you know it's not because of you."
Jiang Cheng stared at him, and after a long time he smiled softly: "Yes."
"Eat," Gu Fei said, "or sleep, you choose one?"
"Eat first and then sleep," Jiang Cheng said, "You have instant noodles here, cook me a bowl."
"Okay, do you want to add eggs?" Gu Fei asked.
"Let's add one." Jiang Cheng said.
Gu Fei got up and took the instant noodles and went to the kitchen. Usually, if he eats instant noodles by himself, he would just soak it in boiling water and finish it.
But Jiang Cheng is now asking him to go to Wang Xu's house to buy pies, and he will do the same.
He boiled water, put noodles, and eggs. After cooking for a while, he was a little unsure. He stood by the door and asked, "Would the eggs be fully cooked or soft or broken?"
Jiang Cheng sat on the small stool in his previous posture, did not answer him, and did not seem to hear what he said.
Gu Fei waited for a few seconds: "Then it's all cooked."
When he turned around and went to the kitchen, Jiang Cheng's voice came over slowly: "It's so heartless."
Gu Fei ran back to the kitchen, poked the egg with his chopsticks, and found that although it was not fully cooked, it was not soft, so he had to beat another egg in, watch it carefully, and boil it.
The fully cooked Jiang Cheng didn’t eat it, he could eat it.
He returned to the store, set up the small table, and put the boiled noodles in front of Jiang Cheng. Just as he was about to grab a pair of chopsticks to eat the fully-boiled egg, Jiang Cheng picked up the chopsticks and folded the fully-cooked egg. I looked at it in half, then took half of it and put it in my mouth.
"...Aren't you going to eat your heart out?" Gu Fei was stunned for a while.
"Did I tell you?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him as he ate, "I've never eaten anything with a loose heart, it's like a piece of shit."
Gu Fei had originally thought that he would eat that sloppy one himself, but he gave up when he heard this and sat down at the table.
"Aren't you going to eat something?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I'm not hungry." Gu Fei said.
"Oh." Jiang Cheng said as he ate slowly, first ate the other half that was fully cooked, and then didn't eat the noodles, and then ate the egg that was too soft.
"...Don't you say it's like scum?" Gu Fei was a little speechless.
"Did I say it?" Jiang Cheng pushed the bowl in front of him, "It seems like I said, I will help you eat the shit, you can eat the noodles."
"Fuck," Gu Fei laughed, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I didn't want to eat it at first," Jiang Cheng squeezed his brows, "I just want to hear you busy for a while, so that I can feel more at ease."
"Then can you be more at ease watching me eat noodles?" Gu Fei asked.
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Gu Fei lowered his head and started to eat the noodles, the taste was quite good.
