There is a weird person downstairs in my house. He lives behind a closed iron gate. He never comes out to play or go to school.

Occasionally I would run into him downstairs, but every time he followed his mother with his head buried deep and his voice low.I can only see a head full of yellow hair growing on top of a thin and thin body. I don't know whether he is counting bricks or ants on the ground.

Once I asked my mother why he was such a strange person. At that time, my mother just gave me a look and said nothing. My father who was beside me patted my head and said: "Silly boy, don't talk nonsense, don't do that again." said."

Such a result made me even more curious about that strange man, until one day, he fell in front of me in an extremely strange way, and the magic box was finally opened.

"You, you, what's wrong with you!"

I shouted loudly and ran over, my hands were trembling but I still tried my best to help him up from the ground.He was now pale and trembling.Fortunately, he was not heavy, so I picked him up and walked into the iron door that he hadn't had time to close.

I remembered that when I turned around the stairs just now, I just bumped into him who was about to go out. Before I had time to consider whether to say hello, he fell limply on the ground as if he had no strength in his whole body, and even rolled a few times. step steps.

This is the first time I entered this iron gate. Behind the gate is a clean and tidy house with simple decoration. The air is filled with the smell of medicine. This is also the smell of this person in my arms. This smell will last my whole life. can be found at the tip of the nose at any time.

I put him on the sofa, and saw that he was still shaking. I remembered watching a certain TV drama hostess relieve the male protagonist who was sick, and tried to touch his arm and smooth it down vigorously.

After doing it a few times, it seemed to have some effect. Seeing this, I did it repeatedly, running his arms and then his legs. Finally, he calmed down, and my heart was at ease.

I squatted on the ground looking at him, this is the first time I saw his face clearly.

His eyes are really beautiful, black and big, but his face is too white and bloodless, and thin and small, a bit scary.

I stared blankly at him until he opened his mouth and said, "Thank you."

Hearing what he said, I quickly said: "No, it's okay, I'm sorry just now! I didn't know you were there, are you okay now?"

I don't know why he did this, but I think my sudden appearance must have startled him.

"It has nothing to do with you, I'm fine now, thank you, Wei Qing."

While he was talking, he also mentioned my name, which made me suddenly think that I don't know his name, only his mother's surname is Bai.

I feel a little embarrassed, I think my face is a little red now - I blush easily.

"I'll go and call Aunt Bai, what's Aunt Bai's number?" As I said that, I quickly got up and picked up his phone that was placed on the coffee table.

"No, go back."

Along with his voice, I also heard the sound of cloth rubbing behind me. I quickly turned my head to see that he was sitting up, and now he was panting slowly, but it was not the rough panting sound after exercising, but It is a very thin, slow inhalation and exhalation sound.

I wasn't sure if he was really okay, and asked cautiously with doubts in my voice: "Are you really okay?"

"Well, let's go."

Being chased away like this, I didn't keep my cheek any longer, and walked out of the iron gate after saying a few goodbyes.

After I went out, I felt as if I had come back from another world, and I was inexplicably relieved. I suddenly remembered the good news that I had been excited for a day, and hurriedly continued to run upstairs two steps at a time.

After entering the house, I rushed to the kitchen and said to my mother who was cutting vegetables: "Mom, do you know! Isn't today the first day of school? The teacher chose me as the temporary monitor! Just because I was the first to go , and helped the teacher set the table as soon as he entered the classroom."

After I said this excitedly, my mother only replied: "Qingqing is awesome, go wash your hands and eat."

"Mom, can you give me a few more compliments?"

"You are already in junior high school, do you still want your mother to say 'the baby is so amazing, let me give you a kiss'?"

Hearing this, I imagined that scene in my mind, and I felt goosebumps.

"Mom, why are you so indifferent? By the way, Mom, I just went upstairs and met the man downstairs."

Then, I told about the incident just now. I didn't expect that my mother turned around and looked at me this time, her brows were slightly frowned and her eyes were full of sympathy.

Mom spoke slowly, her voice was very sad.

"His name is Huo Song. Aunt Bai hopes that he will be evergreen like a pine tree. Alas. He is indeed a little sick. He is not in good health and cannot be frightened. Go upstairs and be quiet in the future. Don't scare others. You will be in a while." Go down and give him some apples, and apologize again."

After listening to my mother, I hummed and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis."

At the age of 13, I didn't understand the meaning of this convoluted and complicated word, but for the next seven years, I really faced this word that I didn't understand.

The author has something to say:

Thank you for reading, I wish you all rich overnight!

About this story, I conceived it when I was a sophomore in high school and finished it on paper when I was bored in class. It can be said that it is the first novel I wrote.

Unfortunately, the paper was lost later.Now I am adding new content while recalling what I wrote at the beginning.

That year was 2015, so the ending time of this story is also set in 2015, and the beginning here is 2015 years before 8.

Staying together until the end of life is a slogan I saw in Changbai Mountain.

Wei Qing will go to Changbai Mountain in 2015, and meet a bunch of people who came to pick up my brother.

At the beginning of this story, I wanted to write a story about a person who didn’t know about stealing pens when he traveled to Changbai Mountain and came across a pile of rice and was shocked and moved by the rice. Then I thought about why this person came to Changbai Mountain and why this person came alone.

Because of the ice bucket challenge at that time, I thought of a person with gradual freezing, and Changbai Mountain was also covered with ice and snow in my imagination...

The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the worse it gets, and I ended up with this story.

Regarding that TV series, Qingqing watched "The Dumb Bride"...
