SAYE

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 agreed, but if he wanted to carry him down, the noise would be from the policemen and aunts and sisters next to him. Li Baoguo can probably see it.

And...the tooth marks on Jiang Cheng's thighs have just been made, and they are still red and swollen at the moment. He can't memorize them at all. He hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "You will rub your teeth when you do it. Print it, I... hold you down?"

"Fart your bastard." Although Jiang Cheng was still very quiet, he still firmly refused.

"That's fine." Gu Fei sighed, grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm and put it on his shoulder, wrapped his arms around his waist, turned slightly sideways and exerted strength, almost pulling Jiang Cheng off the ground, and started to go 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 going down with people on their backs, but it is a bit more difficult to go down with Jiang Cheng in this one-armed manner.

He could feel that Jiang Cheng's whole body was going weak, probably not only because he was afraid of heights, but also because of his shocking disappointment towards Li Baoguo.

He had to grab 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 bring Jiang Cheng down the stairs. His arms hurt a little from the last step, and he almost knocked Jiang Cheng down. Throw it directly on the ground.

After letting go, Jiang Cheng leaned against the wall, and slowly squatted down on the ground.

On the rooftop, Li Baoguo was still cursing, 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 and looked at him with his knees propped up.

"Yeah," Jiang Cheng frowned, took two deep breaths, stood up, and pressed his stomach again, "Fuck, I want to vomit."

"Then spit it out." Gu Fei said.

"Be civilized, the steel mill is my home," Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "It depends on everyone to take care of it."

Gu Fei laughed, and squeezed his shoulder: "Then go down and find a trash dump."

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, closed his eyes and slowed down again, but the chaos on the roof of the top floor seemed to make him unable to slow down, he sighed, lowered his head and walked downstairs while leaning on the railing.

Gu Fei followed behind him, listening to the sound on the rooftop gradually getting quieter.

Just two floors down, there was a roar from downstairs: "If you miss, you die! Who are you squatting there to scare! 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 on the window to watch the excitement. As soon as the roar came up, the family immediately became excited: "His son is here, this There's something wrong!"

Gu Fei gently pushed behind Jiang Cheng: "Let's go."

Jiang Cheng turned around and continued to walk downstairs, walking a bit slowly, maybe because he would run into Li Hui when he went downstairs, one after another people he didn't want to see appeared in turn.

"Let's go eat something in a while," Gu Fei interrupted, "How about going to Jiu Ri's house to eat stuffed pie? I haven't eaten in a long time."

"Yeah," Jiang Cheng responded, "But donkey meat didn't exist in the past. I quite like donkey meat."

"You can eat... the tenderloin." Gu Fei looked at Jiang Cheng's back, "Didn't you say that the tenderloin was also delicious last time? Eat the tenderloin."

"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.

The more he went downstairs, the louder Li Hui's voice was. Gu Fei felt that he had known Li Hui for so many years, and he had never seen him so angry. He regained his energy, stopped coughing, stopped panting, and cursed quite loudly. The loud voice echoed repeatedly in the corridor, and he couldn't hear what he was cursing clearly.

The policemen and residents of the neighborhood committee must regret calling him here, but it was Li Baoguo's request to see Li Hui, and he couldn't come down with yells if he didn't see him. .

The only people who feel happy are probably the onlookers.

The people here live on several chessboard roads criss-crossed like stagnant water. Every crossroad will eventually return to the original point, over and over again. Generations of people may repeat the same road, and there is no need to look up again. If you look ahead, you can follow the road repeatedly to the end of the day.

The people downstairs looking up with their necks up, the people downstairs looking down with their heads poked out of the window, and the people listening with their ears closed, most people’s moods have long since lost the word hope, or have never had it. However, I don't even think about it at all. The only pleasure is probably to watch the chaos and pain around me.

Some people are more confused than yourself, and some people are more painful than yourself, which is the greatest joy.

Gu Fei didn't know how this farce would end today. Li Hui was tougher than ever. Last time Li Baoguo used a knife to kill someone. With several floors away, the noise was as lively as a majestic poetry recitation.

Maybe it's because Li Baoguo's quarrel this time has something to do with his illness, it's something to do with the disease, it's something to do with money, this is a pretty terrible thing for the special products of the steel factory.

Worth a huge brawl.

"I really don't know," Jiang Cheng said in a low voice, "Why can they live with such a posture for decades and a lifetime."

"You don't need to know," Gu Fei said, "You don't need to live like this. You can live your own life. There are so many people in this world, and the diversity of species can always be maintained."

Jiang Cheng turned his head and glanced 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, and I never thought I could pick them up before."

Jiang Cheng laughed, and his steps downstairs seemed to be a little 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 sound of cursing passed through the corridor, and the resonant hum made even Gu Fei feel uncomfortable in his eardrums.

"You are the one who is talking about the old disrespect! Don't call me stupid! You are not qualified!" Li Hui pointed to the upstairs and shouted, "Don't tell me what the hell I did to you! How did I treat you ! It's all your retribution!"

Jiang Cheng didn't move forward, Gu Fei also stopped, leaning on the railing of the stairs behind him, listening to Li Hui's roar outside, and the people around were also persuading him half-truthfully, but these persuasion was like air to Li Hui. , and occasionally a few sentences will poke his anger point.

The group of people who had been watching the show slowly began to play a little bit. Li Hui and Li Baoguo were a little too excited, and they ran away in the direction of losing control.

"Li Hui, please don't say a few words," an aunt pulled Li Hui's arm, "I'm not going to say something nice, how long will your father live, he can't scold you even if he wants to, why do you... ..."

"It's better if he's dead now!" Li Hui swung his arm and pointed upstairs, "I'll just watch you humiliate, beat and swear at others for the rest of my life! You're still fucking alive!"

"Don't say it—stop it! Is it enough?" Li Qian's hoarse and weeping voice came from upstairs suddenly, sharp and desperate, "What do you want!"

"He wants me to die!" Li Baoguo's voice sounded like thunder.

Before Li Hui and Li Qian could speak again, screams of terror 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. There was a dull and loud sound, which made people's breathing and heartbeat seem to stop.

At the same time as the startling sound, a small black figure flew past the corridor, and when it landed on the ground, Gu Fei saw clearly that it was a shoe.

The uninterrupted screams, chaotic roars, and the terrified cries of women and children seemed to fill the entire space in just a few seconds, leaving 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 stiff, but surprisingly obedient, like a robot whose power had been cut off. When he covered Jiang Cheng's eyes and half pushed and half hugged Jiang Cheng out of the corridor, Jiang Cheng was like that. It followed him mechanically, without a sound, and without a trace of resistance.

The people around were in a mess, Gu Fei didn't look in the direction of Li Baoguo's last leap, he quietly watched the life of the people here as if they were suffocating, but he didn't want to see the end of life again.

This kind of experience happened once, and I would never want to witness it a second time in my life.

In the chaos, no one noticed Jiang Cheng who was taken away from the scene by him. Li Hui downstairs had no voice, but Li Qian could still hear Li Qian screaming and crying on the roof, revealing indescribable emotions, constantly They screamed loudly.

It was 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 to this place, which was full of "Li Baoguo-like" atmosphere.

He didn't know what kind of state Jiang Cheng was in now, and he couldn't judge what kind of reaction Jiang Cheng would have when he came back a few minutes later. In the end, he could only pull Jiang Cheng back into the shop.

On the road, I met a lot of people running towards Li Baoguo. When they ran past them, they would cast eyes full of excitement and curiosity, but their steps were still big and fast. After all, the living are not as exciting 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 back. Today is my mother looking at the store, but there is no one at the moment, I don't know if it is to watch the excitement, or to go on a date with the little lover.

After closing the shop door, Gu Fei turned around, and Jiang Cheng had already rushed out of the hut and ran towards the backyard.

When Gu Fei followed, Jiang Cheng had already entered the toilet, throwing up against the wall until the sky was dark, and he could see Jiang Cheng's hands shaking while propping up against the wall from a distance of two meters.

He went back to the store and took two bottles of water and went 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 before he said, "Do you want water?"

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, but stretched 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 mouthfuls of water, "I'm fine."

"I have another bottle here." Gu Fei unscrewed the cap of the other bottle of water, and put it on the edge of the nearby sink.

"Yeah." Jiang Cheng continued to pour water with his head raised.

Gu Fei returned to the yard, stood there for a while, then lit a cigarette and drank it.

After smoking almost half a cigarette, he felt calmer. No matter what kind of person Li Baoguo was or what he had done, in the end Li Baoguo ended his life in this way. For people who are not too busy to take things too seriously, it is a shock that cannot be digested for a while.

Only now did Gu Fei feel the burning pain on his collarbone again.

I don’t know if the pain in Jiang Cheng’s thighs has come back. When he saw Jiang Cheng vomit, he also stood with his legs apart...Of course, normally, no one would keep his legs together when he vomited...

Gu Fei wanted to laugh for no apparent reason, he raised his head and laughed silently for a long while with a cigarette in his mouth before he stopped.

After smoking a cigarette, Jiang Cheng came out of the toilet, his steps were a little wandering, but the expression on his face was quite calm.

"Is it better?" Gu Fei asked.

"I spit out the gall water." Jiang Cheng frowned, bent down and pressed his stomach, "It's uncomfortable."

"Go inside and lie down for a while?" Gu Fei asked again.

"I can't lie down." Jiang Cheng straightened up and walked into the shop, hooked his feet over a small low stool and sat down, "I just want to sit in a ball like this right now."

"Then get together." Gu Fei also took a small stool and sat opposite him.

Jiang Cheng propped his elbows on his knees in a daze for a while: "Did Li Baoguo jump off the building?"

"...Yes." Gu Fei hesitated for two seconds before replying.

Jiang Cheng didn't make a sound, and stretched out his hand in front of him.

"Want water?" Gu Fei looked at his hand, and after asking, he stretched out his hand to pick in his palm, "Do you still want to eat?"

"Yan," Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "Where's the tacit understanding?"

"Scared and lost." Gu Fei took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoked one and put it in his hand together with the lighter.

"Li Baoguo jumped off the building." Jiang Cheng lit his cigarette, took two deep 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 lips.

"Don't talk about you," Gu Fei sighed, "I'm quite uncomfortable."

"Tell me," Jiang Cheng looked up at him, "Did he see me when I left?"

Gu Fei didn't speak. Facing the unusually calm Jiang Cheng, he suddenly felt a little afraid to answer casually.

"I said that I don't want to hear anything about him again," 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 these things, is it my behavior, what I said..."

"No, neither." Gu Fei interrupted him.

"Do you know?" Jiang Cheng paused for a while, then frowned, "Sometimes people are like this, and I tell you this, and I ask you so much, just because I want someone to tell me that such consequences are not caused by me. , wanting to pick myself out of a disaster."

"It's different," Gu Fei looked at him, "You know it very well, you don't need others to tell you, you know it's not because of you."

Jiang Cheng stared at him for a long time before he smiled lightly: "Yes."

"Eat," Gu Fei said, "or sleep, which one do you choose?"

"Eat before going to bed," 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 more." Jiang Cheng said.

Gu Fei got up and took the instant noodles and went to the kitchen. Usually, if he eats the instant noodles by himself, he just soaks them in boiling water, and sometimes he just gnaws them if he is too lazy to move.

But even if Jiang Cheng told him to go to Wang Xu's house to buy pies now, he would do the same.

Boil the water, put the noodles, and put the eggs. After cooking for a while, he was a little unsure, so he stood by the door and asked, "Would the eggs be fully cooked, runny, or broken?"

Jiang Cheng sat on the small stool in the same posture as before, and didn't answer him, nor did he seem to hear what he said.

Gu Fei waited for a few seconds: "Then it's all familiar."

It was only when he turned around to go to the kitchen that Jiang Cheng's voice came slowly: "Sorry."

Gu Fei ran back to the kitchen, poked the egg with his chopsticks, and found that although it wasn't fully cooked, it wasn't runny, so he had to crack another egg in, stared carefully, and cooked it until it was runny.

Jiang Cheng didn't eat the fully cooked one, he could eat it.

He went back to the store, set up the small table, put the cooked noodles in front of Jiang Cheng, and was about to eat the hard-boiled egg with a pair of chopsticks, Jiang Cheng picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the hard-boiled egg He looked at it in half, then took half and put it in his mouth.

"...Don't you want to eat your heart?" Gu Fei was stunned.

"Did I tell you?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him while eating, "I never eat runny meat, it's like shit."

Gu Fei originally thought that he would eat that runny heart by himself, but when he heard this, he immediately gave up and sat down at the table.

"Don't you want to eat something?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"I'm not hungry." Gu Fei said.

"Oh." Jiang Cheng said as he ate slowly, first he ate the other half of the fully cooked one, then he didn't eat the noodles, and then he ate the runny egg as well.

"...Don't you say shit is the same?" Gu Fei was a little speechless.

"Did I say it?" Jiang Cheng pushed the bowl in front of him, "It seems that I said it, I'll help you eat the shit, you can eat the noodles."

"Fuck," Gu Fei laughed, "You don't want to eat?"

"I didn't want to eat it at first." Jiang Cheng squeezed the space between his brows, "I just want to listen to you busy for a while, so that I can feel more at ease."

"Then can you feel 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 pretty good.
