Chapter 46 The seventh chapter is twenty-six years old.Pinellia blooms

Cheng Hao and Ah Jiu took Xia Ruhua and finally fled to Gannan together, where there is a house that Cheng Hao prepared a long time ago.No one knows about this house, and he has been handing it over to the friends he knew when he was in the sea.The man's surname was Guo, who was originally a mechanic. He was transporting cars at the pier with Cheng Hao, but in an accident, he was injured by a tow truck and injured his leg, leaving him disabled.Guo Zi couldn't survive in Haiping, so he had no choice but to return to his hometown in Gannan.There was no one in his family, and his life was very hard. Before he left, Cheng Hao had prepared the travel expenses for him.Later, Cheng Hao had some money, and he sold his hometown house in a single thought. The name was still Guo Zi. On the surface, he was doing the old brothers a favor, but in fact he kept a secret for himself. retreat.

Guo Zi is very grateful to Cheng Hao, he is very tight-lipped, he has not mentioned the house to others in these years, he only said that the money in his hand was paid by the engineering boss, and only one room was reserved for him to work in Haiping The brother kept it for going back to his hometown to marry his wife.Normally, Cheng Hao never looked for him, and he didn't take the initiative to contact Cheng Hao. He raised a few pigs by himself, and lived a peaceful and simple life for so many years. When Cheng Hao and the others arrived in Gannan, it was already dark. Guo Zi opened the door and saw Cheng Hao. He was stunned in surprise, and then quickly moved away and let them into the house.Ah Jiu was carrying the drowsy Xia Ruhua on his back, and Guo Zi struggled to find a new quilt for her, Cheng Hao stopped him and said, "No need, it's eye-catching, we don't care, just do as usual."

Guo Zi responded with a smile. After working for a while, Cheng Hao sat down and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Guo Zi, I have to stay with you for a while." "Live! This house belongs to you. We have few people here, and we live far away. Don't worry." Guo Zi handed Cheng Hao a glass of water and said. Cheng Hao looked at him thoughtfully. Guo Zi leaned on a cane, closed the window and said, "This place has a big temperature difference between day and night. I think Xiuxiu seems to be sick. I'll lock it up for you guys, don't blow the wind."

"She's not Xiuxiu." Cheng Hao lowered his eyes and said. Guo Zi grinned in embarrassment and said, "I saw her when I was a child, but I can't recognize her now." "If Xiuxiu sees you, she probably won't recognize you. Do you remember that when she was a child, she always asked you for candy?" Cheng Hao smiled, but his heart ached. "Remember, that child has been juicy since she was a child, and she must be more promising now. Is she okay? Why didn't she come with you?" "She's okay, I sent her to America." Cheng Hao said bitterly.

"You are capable!" Guo Zi said in admiration from the bottom of his heart. "The few of us are leaving too, but there are still some things to do before we leave, so I have to trouble you during this period. It is very difficult to go abroad now, and the country is strictly controlled, so don't say it outside." Cheng Hao drank his saliva, slowly Swallow said. "Brother Cheng, don't be polite to me. You know, I have the strictest mouth. I won't say a word when you handle your business." Guo Zi said solemnly, and Cheng Hao nodded at him. The three settled down here, and the police did not find out here. For Cheng Hao, at least temporarily, it was safe.

It's just that Xia Ruhua's situation is very bad. She was strongly stimulated when she was 17 years old, which left her with both psychological and physical trauma. This time, the stimulation was even more violent and completely destroyed her spirit.The intense pain suppressed Xia Ruhua's nerves, and she was very autistic. Except for the necessary survival behaviors every day, she just hugged into a ball and shrank in a corner.Cheng Hao once deliberately said something to stimulate her, and even touched her, but she didn't respond at all. Xia Ruhua's state made Cheng Hao very irritable, so Cheng Hao gave her LSD at the end of the year.The effect of the hallucinogen finally revived Xia Ruhua's ashes-like life.She developed a strong dependence on LSD, and began to have hallucinations from time to time, talking to Cheng Hao completely irrelevant.

In her chaotic consciousness, she deeply resists the washing of time, spring and summer, autumn and winter, memories and reality are intertwined into a dream, she still firmly believes that Wei Rufeng will come back to find her, so she is deeply trapped in it, unwilling to wake up. Xia Ruhua borrowed an old tape recorder from Guo Zi, and she listened to the tape every day.At the beginning, due to negligence, I forgot to turn off the recording button, so there is still a short conversation between her and Wei Rufeng in the tape: "Sister, I still have something to do." "What's the matter? Come back at night?"

"Don't worry, I'm just meeting a friend, tonight...it's hard to say." "Come back! I have something to tell you!" "Row." "Then I'm leaving first! You must come back!" "Ai." Xia Ruhua loves to hear Wei Rufeng's "Ai" the most. She rewinds it over and over again, holds it to her ear carefully, and listens carefully.At this time, no matter who is by her side, she will be very happy, happily put the tape recorder in front of others, and said: "Listen, he said 'ah', Rufeng promised me, and will come back at night!"

Once Cheng Hao threw the tape recorder on the ground impatiently, Xia Ruhua was about to fight him desperately, Ah Jiu had to pull her hand away from Cheng Hao's neck with great effort, even LSD couldn't attract her anymore In the end, Guo Zi replayed the recording again, and Xia Ruhua calmed down. Xia Ruhua usually only wears Wei Rufeng's clothes in her luggage. The loose shirt dangles on her body weighing less than 90 catties. She rolls up her sleeves carefully so that no one can touch her.Even when eating, she stretched her neck vigorously and maintained a strange posture, afraid that the food would fall on her clothes and cover up Wei Rufeng's smell.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Hao would always say something cruel on purpose: "Everyone is dead, how can there be any smell!" Xia Ruhua shook her head seriously and said, "Rufeng is not dead." "He has turned gray a long time ago, and you can't even recognize him in front of you." Cheng Hao said contemptuously. "I can recognize him even when he turns into ashes. He broke his arm, his left shoulder is higher than his right shoulder, his rib is broken, it is the fourth on the left, and there is a burn scar on his arm, which is half the size of a palm. Remember it all." Xia Ruhua counted the features of Wei Rufeng's body in detail, as if he was right in front of her eyes.

"You know someone who is dead! Don't expect him to find you!" Cheng Hao said viciously. "Rufeng is not dead, he said he would come back." Xia Ruhua said firmly. The conversation went back to the original point, Cheng Hao imprisoned Xia Ruhua, and Xia Ruhua imprisoned her heart.Such a scene made Ah Jiu gradually lose his patience. He felt that everyone here was sick, Guo Zi was physically sick, and Cheng Hao and Xia Ruhua were both mentally ill.With these patients every day, Ah Jiu was very depressed. The fear of the past and the confusion of the future almost drove him crazy.He asked Cheng Hao more than once what they were going to do.Cheng Hao always said that he was planning to go abroad, he only brought Ah Jiu, and Xia Ruhua stayed here to fend for himself. During the speech, Cheng Hao vaguely reminded Ah Jiu not to act rashly, if he had second thoughts about Cheng Hao, then he would not get a penny.Cheng Hao never told Ah Jiu where his money was, but said that when he settled down, he would naturally have his share. But Ah Jiu couldn't tell how much he longed for the so-called money and foreign countries. It was more of a last resort for him to stay, and there was no way out after taking the first step.At first, he was still in pain for Wei Rufeng's death, and he always felt that he was somewhat involved in the fire, and it was even more unworthy of him to take Xia Ruhua away.But later he was completely numb, and even thought that Wei Rufeng was a kind of relief instead, he didn't have to taste the taste of running away, it was over once and for all. Escape is more cruel than death, death is the inevitable ending, the end point of all people, while escape is a kind of boundless desperation with no life to love and no death to care about...
