"Thank you." Lu Heyang looked away, moved his calf closer to him, and stood on the stone slab with his toes pressed.

Wen Jiyu cut off Xiao's thoughts on those soft lips, stood up straight on his knees and said, "I'm going to take a breath."

"Be careful." Lu Heyang instructed.

According to the weather forecast, there is a great possibility of rain again, coupled with dilapidated buildings and unstable ground, there is a risk of collapse and subsidence at any time.

Wen Jiyu waved his hand and strode away.

The colorful clouds dissipate and the twilight merges.The damp atmosphere lingered in the air again, the moon and stars were hidden, and the thick night enveloped the ruined village, but people did not give up hope, they were still searching for new survivors everywhere, not giving up any possibility.

Lu Heyang thought, in the face of life and death, what Fu Xun did seemed less unbearable, and he seemed to have gained infinite courage again.

Suddenly there was a commotion not far away, the crowd rushed to gather there, and the noise suddenly broke out. Lu Heyang stopped Meng Xian who was trotting and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Under the village clinic over there, a mother and child are buried."

Lu Heyang's eyes lit up: "Is he still alive?"

"The mother is gone, but the baby is said to be well protected in her arms and can still cry, and now they are trying to find a way to clear the bricks and debris from it."

"I'll go too." Lu Heyang pulled up his legs to keep up.

For some unknown reason, a large pit was sunk under the village clinic, and the collapsed beams just created a triangular gap on one side, and the mother was buried in that gap.

"Hush, everyone keep quiet." Captain Deng Xin shouted, "We need to confirm the baby's status and position, be quiet!"

For a moment, the noisy sound wave seemed to be sucked dry by a sponge, leaving only the long chirping of birds in the mountains and the sound of everyone silently cleaning up the rocks.

Through layers of rubble, bricks and thick mud, Lu Heyang could vaguely hear the faint cry inside, like a sprout squeezed out of the gap, full of holes and endless vitality.He immediately bent over to carry it along with him. If there were not enough tools, he used his hands to plan. His fingertips and palms were worn out by stones, and blood seeped in along the palm lines.The wound is still painful at first, and then only a burning sensation remains.

With the surface covering meticulously removed, the crouching remains of a mother looms in the corner of the pit like a monumental artistic sculpture.Her hair and face were covered by mud, and even her mouth and nostrils were covered with mud. It was obvious that she had experienced painful and slow suffocation before her death.And a space was perfectly circled in her arms, and the blue swaddle inside was the baby who survived the catastrophe.

Lu Heyang froze in place, this scene hurt his eyes.He remembered that Lu Bingwen and Su Mei were in the same posture before they died.It was the tightest hug he had ever had in his life.The four arms were so tight that he almost vomited his liver and gallbladder under the violent impact.

After a long time, he realized that it was the love of his parents.

A love that is enough to make life possible to die, and death to live.

Meng Xian jumped down first, and then Lu Heyang jumped down, everyone's eyes followed them, and they broke away mother's hand one by one.

She was too tight, and the stiffness of the body made this persistence a monument.Meng Xian took the baby out of her arms with great difficulty, and she still maintained the embracing posture. Meng Xian's throat choked up, and he shouted to everyone: "The little guy is still alive, frowning and crying."

The surrounding cheered. This is the survivor who has been the longest and the youngest since the disaster. Everyone is moved and excited by this miracle.

Meng Xian happily climbed up, Lu Heyang followed behind him, he caught a glimpse of Meng Xian stopping suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he raised his head strangely, and saw his heels tensed, with a blade protruding from his calf As bony as bones, in the blink of an eye, that foot suddenly went limp, and the whole person fell off the pit wall like a green onion.

When the baby got out of his arms, Lu Heyang turned pale with fright, and flew forward, taking the volleying baby into his arms, and then there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and he fell heavily on the brick-strewn ground.

The endless blackness spreads, sinks, and deepens, like a dream that cannot be woken up.

The cool air is poured into the nasal cavity, and the sour feeling reaches the chest cavity from the jaw, causing the resonance of similar memories in the brain.

Lu Heyang actually went back to China secretly six years ago, and attended a domestic academic conference at the request of his tutor.The location was in Jiayou City. When he signed up, he wondered if he would take the initiative to ask for it if it was any other place, but the answer turned out to be no.

It was late at night when he arrived in Jiayou City. Wearing a coat and dragging a suitcase, he stood under the building where he had lived for three years. Looking up, the familiar window was darkened, and the walls became mottled and faded at some point.

His hotel is elsewhere, in the bustling downtown, expensive and brand new, a new thing that has sprung up a few years ago.I have been away from home for many years, and my former home has become a tourist destination. I come here to pay my respects, but I don’t know where to live.Time will wear away a lot of meaning, and Lu Heyang originally thought that the same should be true between him and Lu Xun.

But four years later, just when he thought he could face that person calmly, when he heard his familiar voice in the distance, he panicked and hid in the stairwell.

The half of the bright juvenile voice in Lu Xun's voice has receded, leaving only his clear part and the unique and deep bass when he uttered three tones.He heard him leading his friends into the first floor, chatting and laughing, chatting about the game in the evening, with the sound of footsteps, he stood still in front of the elevator door and said, "Thank you for coming back with me."

"I heard you have an older brother? Don't you live together?" the friend asked.

Lu Heyang's heart was beating violently, he even felt that it was beating too loudly in the empty fire escape, and he would be discovered by Lu Xun the next moment, those dark thoughts could no longer be hidden, they could only be exposed to the light .

But he heard that Lu Xun was silent for a moment, then laughed, and replied lightly: "What are you talking about him for?"

The elevator doors opened and closed with a clang of metal.After all the sounds died out, Lu Xun's voice echoed for a long time in the silent and empty corridor.

Ask him what to do.

Breathing becomes stagnant, the late autumn wind stings the nasal cavity, and the fundus of the eyes is hot, but the chest cavity is cold, as if a hole has been poked out, and the wind is leaking in vain.

He clenched the push-pull of the suitcase with his fingertips, and buried his face in the scarf.What a light sentence, Lu Heyang thought, fortunately he didn't go up to wait for him, didn't meet him face to face, and didn't hold the hope of seeing him again.

Three days later, the meeting ended and Lu Heyang flew back to the United States.

If he hadn't received news of Lu Xun's death, he would not have planned to come back.
