night escape

Xiushui Road in the west of the city is a famous old town in Pingnan.There is a hundred-year-old banyan tree planted at the head of the village in the old city. In summer, its branches and leaves can cover more than a dozen tables of people playing mahjong and Go together.Not far from the right front of the old banyan tree is Shengji barbecue, which is loved by the neighbors.But today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Sheng Kee will not be open, and the whole family is busy putting up Spring Festival couplets.

16-year-old Jiang Heng climbed up the escalator, tore off the banner above the door, pasted it with paste, and pasted a new banner on it.After this new year, he will be 17 years old soon.

Xie Li stood alone under the banyan tree in the distance, his palm holding the gift turned red from being strangled by the bag, but he didn't care, his eyes were still locked on Jiang Heng who was in the distance.He didn't turn around to avoid the other side of the banyan tree until he saw Jiang Heng came down the ladder safely. After someone entered the house, he walked out again, and continued to look at the hut of Shengji BBQ, and looked at the person in that room. Old people and young people are busy, talking and laughing to get rid of the old and welcome the new.

Xie Li knew that this was the New Year that he could not expect.

Everything that Jiang Heng has now is ordinary and precious. Xie Li feels that his choice back then was not wrong. Only by staying away from him can he better protect him and allow him to live an ordinary life.

It was getting late, and every household on Xiushui Road was about to start eating the New Year's Eve dinner. The smell of all kinds of rice wafted around, and the laughter spread to Xie Li's side.

It's getting late, it's almost time to go.

Xie Li stopped a passing child, gave him a red envelope, and asked the child to help carry the gift to Shengji, then turned and left.

Walking while smoking a cigarette, soon his figure was submerged in the dark street scene.

After Jiang Heng received the gift, he opened a copy and found that it contained extremely expensive paints and came with two thick red envelopes.

"Who gave it to you?" Jiang Heng asked while grabbing the kid.

The kid faltered and said, "A... a handsome uncle wearing glasses..."

Jiang Heng rushed out without even thinking about it. He walked along Xiushui Road, and the wind was so strong that he even forgot to put on his coat.

He knew that Xie Li was here!

I don't know when it started, every New Year's Eve, Jiang Heng would receive a large gift from a stranger, as well as a large sum of New Year's money, which would last him half a year.

He knew in his heart that apart from his mother Jiang Qiu, Xie Li was the only one who would miss him.

But he still didn't understand, Xie Li still cared about him, why couldn't he be taken away from that vicious adoptive mother back then?

This was a thorn in Jiang Heng's heart, he could neither hate him nor forgive him.

The streetlights in the old city are always dim. Jiang Heng walked all the way forward. At this time, there were not many people wandering on the street. Except for a few stray dogs, he saw no one else.

When he turned around and looked back, he saw a cigarette butt that had not been extinguished under his feet exuding the remaining sparks. He squatted down and picked up the still warm cigarette butt, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

Then, a crystal tear spilled from the corner of his eye.

He murmured: "Uncle...I miss you so much..."

·

Xie Li had just walked out of Xiushui Road, opened WeChat and found that Liang Ye's messages had already spread overwhelmingly.

"The old man said he wanted to meet you very much, but I refused. I know you are not ready yet. Do you think my boyfriend is very considerate?"

"By the way, did I tell you that I have a half-race sister, and she's back too, making a lot of noise, and now she's bothering her."

"Have you eaten yet? Did Jiang Heng give you a good New Year greeting?"

"Let me tell you, if he's rude, don't give him a red envelope, and I'll clean him up next time!"

"Picture.jpg, tonight's reunion dinner, take a picture for you to see."

"What kind of food do you eat over there? Take a picture and show me."

"A Li, please excuse me."

"My side is almost over, where are you? I'll pick you up right away."

……

Liang Ye's latest message was sent in half an hour, and now someone else might be on his way.Xie Li wanted to send him a message back to tell him not to come, and just take a taxi home by himself, but he didn't expect that a call came in just as he clicked on the keypad of his mobile phone.

He didn't stop it for a while, and clicked to answer.

"Ah Li, Happy New Year."

A man's voice came from the phone, it was the man Xie Li avoided.

Xie Li didn't answer. He was about to hang up, but he said as if he had expected his action a long time ago: "Don't hang up, don't you have some questions to ask me? Why don't you ask?"

Xie Li replied flatly: "I have nothing to know."

"That's right, you are so smart, you should have guessed it..." Lu Qiming paused for a moment, then continued to ask with a smile: "Aren't you going to give me a New Year's greeting? When you lived with me, I would give you a New Year's greeting every year." You are preparing New Year's gifts, and you are preparing them this year too, when is it convenient for you..."

"No need, I took your stuff and thought it was dirty." As soon as the words finished, Xie Li hung up the phone.

He was not at all curious about what Lu Qiming would give him, or what he would say to him, he didn't want it at all, even when he heard this person speak, he would feel reflexively disgusted.

It was a kind of disgust coming from the genes, it was the hatred that Xie Li wanted to part with even if he had his internal organs ripped out.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew in front of him, Xie Li stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.

"Doctor Xie, what are you thinking?"

The familiar Kawasaki suddenly appeared in front of Xie Li. The man on the bike stood on the ground with long legs, lifted his helmet, smiled vigorously, and stared at him with a pair of fiery and sincere eyes.

Xie Li also looked back at him: "I just wanted you not to come, I'll just go back by myself."

"You said you missed me, so I have to come." Officer Liang was very good at picking the key points.

Xie Li couldn't say no to him, so he turned his face away helplessly.

Liang Ye patted the back seat of the car: "Come on, get in the car."

"Where?"

"You will know when you come up."

Liang Ye carefully fastened Xie Li's helmet, and then zipped his windbreaker around his neck to prevent the wind from blowing in.

"Handsome, hold me tight!"

"Where are we going?" Xie Li didn't get an answer, and the former pulled his hands around his waist and abdomen.

Without waiting for anyone to react, Liang Ye suddenly started the motorcycle and drove Xie Li on the road.

"What are you driving so fast for?" Xie Li had to raise his voice because the speed was too fast.

The winter wind whizzed by, but Liang Ye's voice clearly reached Xie Li's ears.

He said, "Hold me tight and don't let go!"

Xie Li turned his head and saw that the black car parked opposite him had followed them for some distance, and then disappeared at a side road.

It's really haunting, even if it's New Year's Eve, you have to keep track of his whereabouts at all times.

In the past ten years, there was not a single day that was not under his control. Xie Li felt like a walking corpse soaked in formalin. Although he was still alive, he couldn't breathe, and couldn't escape.

too tired.

Xie Li felt that it was difficult to breathe, he raised his head and pushed up the goggles.Liang Ye's speed was extremely fast, and the sharp cold wind instantly poured into Xie Li's respiratory tract and scratched his skin.

They passed the streets, the river bank, tall buildings, and hills.

The rearview mirror reflected the rapidly receding scenery on both sides of the road. They seemed to have entered a river, and before they knew it, they became stones in the river, standing tightly in the sand, watching everything around them pass away like flowing water.

Xie Li pressed against Liang Ye's broad back, his eyes were obviously sensitive, but he tried his best to keep them open.

He thought, he wants to see more of this brightly lit New Year's Eve, and this world full of fireworks.
