did you lie today

For the past three years, Gu Changan has always looked like a medicine jar, giving people a feeling that he will not live long, but he rarely even has a cold, and he only comes to the hospital to see friends.

The elevator opened on the fifth floor, Gu Changan turned left into a long corridor, and a little nurse came towards him, showing him shy and surprised eyes.

"Mr. Gu, you are here."

"Ah."

The number of times Gu Chang'an came was actually not many, but the nurses at the nurse station on this floor remembered all of them, and would say hello every time they met.

The little nurse asked concerned: "Mr. Gu, I think your complexion is not very good, do you want to have a physical examination?"

Gu Changan smiled and said no.

The little nurse became even more shy. She wanted to say something, but the person in front of her had already stepped past her and walked in another direction.

Reluctantly twisting her neck to look at it, the little nurse continued to work, if it's not yours, it's not yours, don't think about it.

Gu Chang'an stopped at the door of the ward, and before he could do anything, the door opened from the inside.

He Lu was carrying a water bottle, and it seemed that he was planning to boil water. After crying, his eyes were very red, and so was his nose. He looked at Gu Changan and frowned: "I suggest you take some time for a checkup."

After hearing it twice in such a short while, Gu Changan took off his glasses and pinched the base of his nose: "You still don't know me?"

He Lu choked.

Some diseases cannot be solved by medicine.

He Lu fetched water and came back, poured some warm water in the basin, and wiped Shi Zhang's face and hands. His movements were very skillful, and he did it countless times.

Her hair was dyed black and cut short, her cool sneakers became leather shoes, and the studs on her ears were all removed. She looked much more mature.

A mature person is like a changed person.

Gu Changan saw that He Lu was busy with work, he and Shi Zhang were fine when they bought the car, but things happened later, there are always unexpected times in life, even if you are prepared, they still beat you to the ground, struggling for a long time and unable to get up .

"How is Shi Zhang doing recently?"

He Lu said the old way.

The atmosphere in the ward was a bit dull, Gu Changan said softly for a while, "At least he is right in front of your eyes, his body is warm, and there is a heartbeat in his chest, you can see it and touch it."

He Lu paused for a moment when he wiped Shi Zhang's face, and in this posture, he turned his face to look at the person sitting deep in the chair, and did not speak for a long time.

Gu Chang'an got up and walked to the bedside: "Didn't you say that Shi Zhang sometimes reacted last time? Tell me more about his happy things."

"There are only so many happy things, I can recite them over and over again, and I can recite them backwards." He Lu said in a muffled voice, "There are a lot of unhappy things, and I can't finish them for days and nights."

Hearing his tone, Gu Changan thought for a moment that it was Shi Zhang, and that the two of them would be influenced by each other after being together for a long time, so he pursed his lips: "You can also talk about it, maybe it can stimulate him."

He Lu raised his head: "Are you really coming with me?"

Gu Changan pointed out something: "You don't even know Shi Zhang, you should know what he wants to hear."

He Lu's face turned red and then black, not to mention moving his mouth, he even moved his hands, he tried everything he could think of, more than once.

"Old Zhang's mother came here at night."

Gu Changan glanced at him: "Hit you?"

He Lu twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's useless to beat him, unless he is killed, his mother knows."

In the past, Shi Zhang's mother liked him very much, and every time she went there, she kept him for dinner, prepared delicious food for him, and asked him to take some away.

When he came out of the closet, Shi Zhang's mother saw him as if she had seen an enemy, crying and scolding him, wishing to pounce on him to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

It's better now, and I can talk, but I can't go back to the time when I was smiling.

He Lu could understand that the old couple only had such a son, and they had a blind date with Zhang Luo early on, urging to find a girl to marry and have children, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He threw the towel into the basin, the force was a little out of control, the water splashed up, wet the sheets, and soon left a dark mark.

Staring at the sickly man with closed eyes on the bed, He Lu's eye sockets were hot, you were the one who dragged me to this road, you said you would treat me well, only me, coaxing me into a daze For a moment, I felt like I was floating in the sky.

The results of it?You lie down every day, from last year to this year, if you don't wake up again, I will go with someone else and leave you alone.

He Lu raised his arm and wiped his eyes: "Chang'an, are you crying?"

Gu Changan was distracted and didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

"Lu Cheng is dead..." He Lu changed his words in time, almost biting his tongue, "I have been away for three years, what do you think of him?"

Gu Changan said: "Smok a cigarette, eat some candy, and drink a glass or two of wine."

He Lu asked, "Crying?"

Gu Changan asked back, "Why are you crying?"

He Lu with red eyes like rabbits: "..."

The heart is only a little bit big, and it can't hold many things. It just keeps stuffing it in, and doesn't pour it out at all. It will explode sooner or later.

At that time, man is finished.

He Lu said seriously: "Chang'an, sometimes people have to cry properly."

Gu Changan changed the subject and asked about He Lu's family situation.

He Lu saw that he obviously didn't want to respond, so he didn't mention it any more. He pouted and said, "My sister gave birth to a second child, and my parents have passed away. They don't have any hope for me. They don't bother to ask, so I can do whatever I want."

"However, it's good to ask, so as not to see me like this, and get angry again."

Gu Changan said: "There will always be a day of acceptance."

"I don't want to think about it now." He Lu bent down and pulled the quilt up on the man, "It's useless to think about anything if you don't wake up."

His tone was complaining, but his expression was not. He was a little helpless: "Because of this guy, I can't work well, and now I am basically a dedicated nurse."

Gu Changan vaguely saw the eyeballs under Shi Zhang's eyelids rolling, and when he looked carefully, he found that there were no eyeballs.

After a moment of silence in the ward, Gu Changan said, "Pearl is getting married this Saturday."

"I know." He Lu said, "I'm not going, you can give me some red envelopes, and I'll transfer the money to you later."

Gu Changan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Have you had dinner yet?"

He Lu shook his head: "No."

Not long after, Gu Changan and He Lu sat in the small noodle restaurant diagonally opposite the hospital, and each ordered a large bowl of Lanzhou ramen.

He Lu poured chili oil into the bowl and asked Gu Changan if he wanted it.

Just as Gu Changan said no, he changed his mind when he smelled the scent, and came a little too.

The two of them scooped up noodles and ate them, and soon they were sweating profusely.

He Lu finished eating a third of the bowl, and Gu Chang'an, who was opposite him, had already bottomed out his bowl. He was unbelievably dazed for a while: "Chang'an, you haven't eaten all day, have you?"

Gu Changan drank two mouthfuls of noodle soup, and said in a vague voice, "I ate a small bun in the morning."

He Lu: "..."

He blurted out: "It would be fine if the serious illness persisted."

After saying something, his face changed slightly.

Gu Changan didn't catch that scene, so he laughed softly: "Speaking of which, I grew up watching serious illnesses, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I took him with shit and urine, but no one said it. Xin, I thought he was older than me, and much older.”

"You said this, I remembered something. At that time, I really thought you were in your twenties, and you were in your thirties when you were seriously ill." He Lu Lao blew a chopstick of noodles into his mouth, "Don't blame me, he looks old, You are just the opposite, you look tender."

Gu Changan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "I don't know how the serious illness has been over the past few years. I haven't heard anything about it."

He Lu seemed to want to say something, but for some reason he didn't say it.

Coming out of the noodle shop, He Lu bought two old popsicles, one for each of Gu Changan, squatted on the side of the road and sucked them up.

In summer, the daytime is very hot and the night is sultry. It is very difficult. Don't try to feel comfortable until the middle of the night.

Gu Changan was eating popsicles, watching vehicles and pedestrians swaying in front of his eyes, his whole life was projected in his mind like a revolving lantern.

He Lu turned his head and was about to speak when he saw that Gu Changan was holding a popsicle, he didn't know what he was thinking, his face was about to cry, the popsicle had melted, and he dropped his hand, he was stunned and handed over a pack of tissues.

Gu Changan wiped off the popsicle water on his hand, but it was still sticky. He asked casually, "What do you do in the hospital at night? Watch TV?"

"Don't look at it." He Lu said, "There are mosquitoes in the hospital, and I will catch them by the bed at night."

Gu Changan: "..."

After eating the popsicles, He Lu went back to the hospital, and Gu Changan went home.

As soon as Gu Changan got into the car, Ji Qing called and said that four of the five deceased had been identified, namely 15-year-old Zhang Xiaomi, 16-year-old Chen Min, 15-year-old Liu Jiayang and Zhao Xingxing.

The four girls didn't disappear at the same time. The first one was Zhang Xiaomi. He disappeared for more than a year, and his family didn't even report the case.

The reason is that she sneaked out and left a letter saying that she fell in love with someone, was pregnant, and said she would give birth to a child for him. The family thought that she didn't learn well at a young age, and she didn't want others to know, so she couldn't afford to lose face.

As for who the man was, her family didn't know anything.

The remaining Chen Min, Liu Jiayang, and Zhao Xingxing all disappeared in the first half of this year.

Chen Min lives in the countryside with her grandma. She has never studied, never attended a day of school, and rarely goes outside, so she helps the family with farm work.

One afternoon, Chen Min went to the mountain to cut firewood, but she didn't go down the mountain after dark, and she didn't come back the next day. Her grandma found relatives to help her find someone in the mountain. If there is a solution, go to the police. The police have a record, saying that they have searched in the mountains, but there is no clue.

Liu Jiayang and Zhao Xingxing were classmates and disappeared together.

The day of their disappearance was the weekend. According to the investigation, they made an appointment to go out to play together. After going out, they never came back. The parents of both parties have been waiting for the child to return with a glimmer of hope. The news of the murder, and the tragic death, made me very emotional and unacceptable.

So far, the four deceased have nothing in common except that they are all female, are all in adolescence, are underage girls, were tortured during their lifetime, and were cut up and fried after death.

Except for Liu Jiayang and Zhao Xingxing who are classmates, the social relations of the others have nothing to do with each other.

What the murderer used to commit the crime is still uncertain, but in order to quickly take away the victim, it is very possible to use drugs, and the police are following this line.

There is still a deceased person whose identity cannot be found out, and the police are still continuing to investigate the population.

Ji Qing said on the phone: "Now besides Sun Daqing, we have found another suspicious person."

Gu Changan asked who it was.

Ji Qing said he was a junior high school teacher: "Will you come with me to his house tomorrow?"

Gu Changan said, "Yes."

After Ji Qing got the answer, he told Gu Chang'an to go to bed early.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Changan started the car and left. He was not in a hurry to go back, but drove the car around the city.

Going back is also a person, loneliness and longing will be infinitely magnified and unbearable.

When approaching Qingyang Lake in the western suburbs, Gu Changan glanced casually, as if he saw a familiar burly figure among the people looking at the scenery by the lake, he subconsciously turned the steering wheel and turned around at the next intersection.

After finding a place to park the car, Gu Changan quickly walked in that direction.
