When I fell into the wind in mid-air, I felt that many troubles entangled in my body were finally torn away by the wind, thrown away, and I became very light.

In just an instant, he fell into the water.

Shen Wenqiu heard that jumping into the water from a high enough place is similar to being shot on a concrete floor. He would faint on the spot, or even have fractures all over his body and internal organs bleed instantly. It is a very painful way to die.

He hoped for the best that he would faint and drown unconsciously.

But God still wanted him to taste the pain directly, he fainted for a while, but he was still awake, he could clearly feel that he was surrounded by river water, his bone marrow was trembling from the cold, the oxygen in his body was disappearing little by little, he tried hard to restrain himself The instinct of the body that wanted to struggle allowed itself to sink.

Down, down, down.

It's best to sink to the bottom.

The boundary line between reality and memory becomes blurred in the deprivation of oxygen.

He was embraced by the cold water, and the redundant soul was stripped away silently, turning him back into a child again.

Consciousness intermittently, flashing from time to time, slowly sinking into a dazzling and vague illusion, and then becoming clear again——

"Don't tread water, little baa." Shen Wenqiu heard a gentle male voice talking.

He lowered his head, and there was a little boy reflected in the puddles, a cute little boy, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and overalls shorts, with snow-white socks and round-toed black leather shoes on his feet. Stepped on the edge of a puddle and splashed dirty water.

The little boy was himself.

He said to his father in a low voice: "I didn't step on it on purpose."

Dad came over and wiped his shoes.

He opened his arms: "Daddy hug."

Dad picked him up: "Dad knows, little baa is the most obedient."

Shen Wenqiu hugged his father's neck with his small arms, leaned on his father's shoulder, and asked, "Dad, where is Mom? Take me to find Mom."

"I haven't seen my mother for a long time, I miss my mother so much."

Dad carried him forward, back to the home where he grew up, and his mother stood among the lush and beautiful flowers, looking at him tenderly with a smile. Both father and mother looked the best when they were young.

Dad also walked over, and the three of them were reunited together, and he hugged his mother. very nice. very nice.

After making out for a while, Shen Wenqiu said, "Dad, I want to play on the swing. Play on the swing you gave me."

Dad agreed and carried him to the swing, but he was too young, his short legs couldn't reach the ground, and he couldn't hold on to the swing ropes.

Mom said: "Little Baa, it's too dangerous, shall we stop playing?"

Shen Wenqiu shook his head: "I want to play."

The swing swayed higher and higher, and flew into the air. He wobbled and would fall down at any time, but he was not afraid at all, and laughed happily, louder and louder.

His laughter wafted through the courtyard.

Mom and Dad stood below, looked up at him, and said worriedly: "Little Baa, Xiaobaa. It's too dangerous. Stop playing."

Shen Wenqiu said: "I don't want it, I'm so happy, I haven't been this happy for a long time. Dad, I'm flying, I'm flying so high."

Dad said worriedly: "Be careful, little baa, slow down, slow down, don't fly, you fly so high, Dad can't catch you."

At this time, Shen Wenqiu saw a little boy standing abruptly outside the yard of their house. This little boy was dark-skinned, tall and strong, wearing a worn-out vest and trousers, and a pair of dirty sneakers under his feet. But unlike other children, he has only one hand. Hei boy was stopped outside, his cheeks were tense, he was looking up at himself solemnly and resolutely, calling his name: "Shen Wenqiu! Shen Wenqiu!!"

Lu Yong kept shouting: "Shen Wenqiu!"

Shen Wenqiu pursed his lips tightly, did not answer, and continued playing on his own.

Mom: "Who is this?"

Dad: "This is Xiaobaa's best friend, Lu Yong. They quarreled and are having trouble."

Dad said again: "Lu Yong is a good boy, he treats little Baa very well."

Saying that, Dad went to open the door for Lu Yong, Shen Wenqiu shouted anxiously: "Dad, don't open the door for him! He and I are no longer friends!"

Dad just said: "Don't be awkward with Dayong, you obviously like him very much."

Regardless of his obstruction, Dad opened the door and let Lu Yong in: "Dayong, please persuade Xiaobaa to let him come down."

Shen Wenqiu thought anxiously, if the swing is so dangerous, Lu Yong must not dare to walk over it. But Lu Yong walked up to him without fear, trying to grab him: "Shen Wenqiu, come down, come down quickly."

Shen Wenqiu's grandma scolded him fiercely: "I won't go down! Get out of here! I won't be good friends with you anymore. We haven't been good friends for a long time. I'm playing alone, so I don't want to take you to play." .”

Lu Yong stared at him for a long time, then suddenly said: "You are obviously not happy at all, if you are happy, why are you crying?"

Shen Wenqiu didn't speak, but kept crying.

"It's none of your business." Shen Wenqiu was crying, because he was punctured, so he stopped being tough, "Get out of the way, be careful that I fall, and I will smash you to death together. Aren't you afraid?"

Lu Yong bravely and decisively replied: "I'm not afraid."

After he finished speaking, he broke into danger, did not give up even if he was hit, and repeatedly found a suitable gap to grab Shen Wenqiu with quick eyes and hands.

Shen Wenqiu was like a leaf caught in a strong wind, settled down and stabilized. Lu Yong took his hand: "Baa, let's go back, I will protect you."

Shen Wenqiu didn't understand how Lu Yong found and caught himself in the turbulent river. He didn't want to be rescued and struggled frantically.

The two were tearing and wrestling underwater, he wanted to throw off Lu Yong, and wanted to sink, but Lu Yong was more entangled than aquatic plants, no matter how he fought, Lu Yong would stick it up again and use his only arm to catch him , desperately pulling him up.

Time is stretched in the gap between life and death.

It seems to have been a long time, and it seems to be very short.

Shen Wenqiu was going crazy.

Why did Lu Yong do this? Can't you just let him die? He has nothing left to cling to in this world, he only has this wish to die, wouldn't Lu Yong agree? Let him die! !

But Lu Yong persisted, catching Shen Wenqiu again and again with his strong and sturdy arms.

The two were ups and downs in the water. Suddenly, Shen Wenqiu felt that Lu Yong's strength was not as strong as before, but he still didn't give up, and the two sank together.

He pushed Lu Yong away, and Lu Yong approached him again, hugging him in the water.

Shen Wenqiu stretched out his hand, touched Lu Yong, and suddenly lost strength, not because he fainted, but because he realized that Lu Yong was too paranoid, and he really wouldn't die. If this continues, Lu Yong will die.

Either he insisted on killing him, and Lu Yong was dragged by him to drown together; or he gave up seeking death and returned to the shore with Lu Yong.

He didn't care about his own life, but he couldn't let Lu Yong be buried with him with peace of mind.

How could such a good person as Lu Yong die with a scum like him

A group of people surrounded the shore, and when they saw them go ashore, they exclaimed, "We've been rescued! We've been rescued!"

"Where's the police? Where's the police?"

"Did someone call an ambulance? Someone call an ambulance!"

Shen Wenqiu walked through the gate of ghosts, lying on the ground exhausted, with his feet on his back, his eyes closed tightly, panting breathlessly, he was determined when he died, but now that he was rescued, he collapsed and lost his tears. The residence overflowed from the corner of the eye.

It's so noisy, these people are so noisy, it's so noisy.

Noisy.

"Is the person still alive? Is he alive?"

"Hey, hello, is there a doctor? Who can give first aid?"

"Hurry up and save people!"

Shen Wenqiu remained motionless, holding his breath, the overheated sun pierced through his eyelids and hurt his eyes. At this moment, a figure covered him, blocking the light.

Shen Wenqiu smelled the same wet smell on his body as his own, even without opening his eyes, he knew who it was.

Lu Yong knelt beside him, patted his cheek lightly, and asked anxiously: "Shen Wenqiu, Shen Wenqiu, wake up... Xiaobaa, wake up."

His heart was in turmoil, silent, as if dead.

Lu Yong raised his body and asked the people around him: "Can you please give me my arm? Thank you. I have learned some first aid."

When Shen Wenqiu heard the sound of his arm being installed, Lu Yong pinched his chin with his prosthetic limb, made him open his mouth with a little force, and then put his fingers into his mouth, searching for any blockage of the trachea in the soft and sticky mouth. dirt.

It was so uncomfortable.

Shen Wenqiu couldn't bear it even if he wanted to, coughed, unable to continue pretending to be dead.

Shen Wenqiu opened his eyes, stared at Lu Yong lifelessly, raised his limp hand, and pushed Lu Yong.

Still didn't push, Lu Yong sat on the ground and said, "It's good that you're still alive, it's good that you're still alive."

The siren of the police car floated from a distance, getting closer.

Shen Wenqiu came back from the dead, still in a trance, he always felt that he had drowned in the water, at least the old soul stayed in the dead place, he didn't want to find it back.

"Are you sick? What's good? Living is not just about being able to breathe. I have no way out. If you rescue me, I will die sooner or later." Shen Wenqiu was not grateful to Lu Yong. Thanks to his life-saving grace, he said harshly, "Next time I die, I will definitely not let you see me."

Lu Yong let him scold him, but didn't answer back, just stood aside silently, stared at him tenderly and reservedly, stretched out his hand to wipe the teardrops on his face, wiped and wiped, no matter how hard he wiped, he didn't say that he was not allowed to cry .

Shen Wenqiu wanted to slap his hand away, but he didn't have much strength.

Lu Yongfei wanted to wipe his tears away, and brushed his wet fingertips on his cheeks, as if kissing carefully.

Lu Yong didn't eat the hard ones, nor the soft ones.

Shen Wenqiu really didn't know what to do: "Lu Yong, you can't save me. Leave me alone. What do you think of me?"

"You want to save me so much, do you still plan to help me pay off the debt? You are so kind, you help me pay it???"

"Okay." Lu Yong replied, he had been waiting for Shen Wenqiu to bring it up.

Shen Wenqiu stopped breathing. He was not happy, but his face was even uglier than before. He sat up weakly, stared at Lu Yong, and said viciously, "What's wrong? You're crazy!"

Lu Yong withdrew his hand restrainedly, his severed limb ached for many years, he couldn't tell whether it was real pain or phantom pain, he exhausted all his tenderness, and said slowly and steadily: "Shen Wenqiu, Just pretend that your former self died in the river."

"I will help you pay off your debts. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Don't commit suicide. You tell me, and I'll help you."

He has already liquidated his current assets and eliminated the funds needed for the company's operations. He added up all the assets he had saved in his life so far, and he could barely pay off Shen Wenqiu's debts.

He is willing to exchange everything he has for Shen Wenqiu's chance to be reborn as a human being.

Ask nothing in return.
