Wei Qian's cell phone rang, he pulled out a look, is a MMS, a point to open the picture scared him a jump, just born the face of a small baby suddenly filled the entire lens.
Originally just born out of the little thing is ugly, skin red like tomatoes, full of folds, features are wrinkled together, like holding a cry, plus the camera is close, a little distortion, Wei Qian leaned back, said this born out of what a thing, not a space neighbor sent to Earth to engage in peaceful evolution, right?
Followed by another chime and a text message from Three Fatty - My Daughter! That's my fucking daughter!
Followed by a string of exclamation points, Wei Qian did not count carefully, probably a sweep, there can be a reinforced company, Wei Qian seems to be able to hear the sound of the three fat with spittle growl from his short few words and punctuation.
Wei Qian took advantage of the company's lunch break rushed to the hospital, three fat parents, his wife Lin Qing's parents are all in the hospital, the four old things are feverishly discussing going out to put together a table of mahjong, joyfully went out together.
Three fat face full of red light, every three seconds to touch the little baby on the bed, his daughter who just went through a life and death robbery is trying to sleep well, always harassed by this inexplicable lewd man, it did not take long to quit, "ow" a voice howled out.
Voice like a bell, full of energy, this girl was born a few points harder than other children, probably a pretty blessed little thing.
Lin Qing first time as a mother, coaxing the child is not quite skilled, immediately hand and foot, how to coax can not be coaxed, the little girl crying liver and guts, are almost back to the air.
Wei Qian probed, "Hey, give it to me."
He took the baby from Lin Qing's hands and was a bit rusty at first, however, once he touched that tiny body, he quickly regained the feeling he had when he was a child when he was carrying Little Treasure. Strangely enough, the little girl seemed to have quite a bond with him, and after being gently rocked by him, her cries gradually weakened, and in the end, she actually fell asleep right in his arms.
"Called what?"
"I said let's just call it 'falling in love', it's romantic and memorable, her mom died and disagreed ...... Alas, if my mom had been so adamant about her stance back then, I wouldn't have to... . tsk, saying more is tears." Three fat shook his head, "Finally, her grandfather gave a name, said called 'talk Ming', on the 'tomorrow' of the 'Ming', with Ma Chunming that pussy can not matter! Ah."
Wei Qian smiled, bent down, gently put down the freshly baked Little Talisman, fished out two small boxes from his pocket, and placed them in her hand.
Lin Qing took a look, in one box was a gold lock, in the other was a small jade bracelet, putting together a gold and jade. She immediately sat up and whispered, "Wei Dong, her eyes are not open yet, this is too much of a break to give to a child, besides why are you still buying two by yourself?"
Wei Qian: "Keep it, it's just one niece, who do you give it to if not her? One is from me, the other is from me for someone else."
"What others?" Lin Qing didn't understand.
Three Fatty, however, understood the situation and suddenly spoke up from the side, "It's fine, just put it away for the kid."
The three little brothers who were at the mouth of the hutong are now one less.
At that time Wei Qian was still a juvenile delinquent like a gloomy face of the middle two diseases, three fat is wearing a "two pole beam" undershirt squatting on the ground chewing watermelon fat boy, hemp also with his mother on the side of the road sweating frying doughnuts.
"How many years?" Triple Fatty asked.
"Sixteen years." Wei Qian said, "If you were properly reincarnated, you'd be in high school by now."
"Isn't it?" Three Fatty sighed, and said, again, he was about to handily tease idly to pinch his youngest daughter's nose.
Lin Qing let this little thing's magical voice penetrate his ears all morning, and hastily slapped away San Fatty's paw, "It's so hard to fall asleep, you let her die down! Do you hate it?"
Look, it's all different.
"Where's Xiao Yuan?" Three Fatty asked, "When will he be back?"
"It's almost time to arrive, I'll pick him up at the airport later." Wei Qian glanced at his watch and bent down again, gently touching the little girl's face with his fingertips, "Niu'er, Uncle is leaving."
When he finished speaking, he himself felt a lot of emotions - just like that, he was upgraded from "brother" to "uncle".
Wei Zhiyuan just out of a trip to the country, they have been preparing for several years of highway games to come out of nowhere in the open beta, due to sufficient funds, in the world to spread a large map, from the pre-publicity to packaging, all gimmicky, popularity is expected.
Wei Zhiyuan a walk for more than two months, came back tired and thin circle, Wei Qian did not return to the company, directly brought him back home.
Wei Zhiyuan was so sleepy that his eyelids couldn't even open, but he still hugged him and didn't let go of his hand, as if he was going to get tired of the two months' worth of shares back.
"Chairman, I'm good, aren't I?" He was as beautiful as a big dog that rolled around to ask for praise, and he was on the verge of sticking his tongue out.
Wei Qian rubbed his chin, "Bullshit."
Wei Zhiyuan then wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her tired face in his embrace, "What about my reward?"
"Reward?" Wei Qian sat squarely on the sofa, dignified as if he was in the middle of a business negotiation, then he asked with a serious bow of his head, "What kind of reward do you want? A reward with clothes on or a reward with clothes off?"
Wei Zhiyuan almost fell off the sofa when his hand was loose.
He blushed, even his sleepiness disappeared, his throat suddenly a little dry and thirsty, and he stared blankly at Wei Qian.
Wei Qian reached out and gave him a shove on the shoulder, pushing him to sit up and said very seriously, "Tsk, in broad daylight, what are you thinking about bear boy? I said to get you a small golden man trophy for best labor model, with clothes on or off - eat something? I'll go show you what's in the fridge ......"
Before he could finish, he was pressed down by Wei Zhiyuan's vertical leap.
The two of them shamelessly fooled around on the sofa for a while, Wei Qian was nearly raked over the coals by Wei Zhiyuan from "clothed beast" to "unclothed beast", and at that moment, his cell phone rang!
------------
Reading in sections 80
Up.
"Don't you take the tie to tie my hands, this fucking rag can be expensive, all let you rub me into dried salted vegetables." Wei Qian grumbled as he broke free, while fumbling for his cell phone, glancing at the caller ID and picking it up, "Old Bear, you're ...... again."
The old bear side of the voice is extremely noisy, the middle seems to be mixed with children's cries, he does not care about rushing Wei Qian shouted: "G province to the east out of the only national highway, marking the distance from the F exit 1.5 kilometers, fast ......"
With a loud bang, Wei Qian could not help but close his eyes for a moment, feeling that almost something penetrated the phone to hit him in the ear, and then looked back, the other party was already busy.
Wei Qian was confused for two seconds, then remembered that Xiong Yingjun had greeted him before he left, saying that the police had terminated a den of trafficking in women and children in the G province, and had found a lot of underlings along the way, and rescued several victims of trafficking, and that as soon as the news was released on the website, there were immediately a lot of people who contacted them.
Several of the victims' families were already unable to travel long distances due to old age or physical disability, etc. With the consent of the police, Lao Xiong, as a liaison officer, went over there in person to pick up these people and send them home.
Counting the time, it should be halfway back.
The old bear is very thoughtful, no matter where he goes, he will definitely leave an emergency contact, he did not call the police, but called Wei Qian to inform him of his location, it must be urgent to a certain extent, he was afraid that he could not speak clearly in a few words with the police operator.
Wei Qian quickly made several phone calls, the first time to know the local because of sudden heavy rainfall caused landslides and mudslides, the national highway is now interrupted, he reported in the official search and rescue personnel Lao Xiong left the precise coordinates, the next day with Wei Zhiyuan ran to the G province.
Search and rescue crews found the wreckage of the car at the scene, but no one was seen at the moment, and survival should be more likely.
Wei Qian mobilized all the resources he could think of, and after another day passed, he still couldn't find Xiong Yingjun.
Finally, Wei Qian said, "Call Master Xiong, he has a wider network than me. A yard is a yard, his son is now missing life and death unknown, I don't believe he's still gambling now."
The old bear played off that year, dispersed the family fortune to become a monk, his father was so angry that he didn't smoke past, and thus declared to follow an ungrateful thing to cut off contact.
However the real broken fake broken, outsiders can not see the good and bad. Anyway, Wei Qian a phone call, the old man Xiong invited, more people to join the search, and two days to find, Wei Qian feel anxious to bleed in their throats, Xiong Yingjun this son of a bitch finally gave to find.
Wei Qian and his men hiked more than ten kilometers from the highway that hadn't yet had time to be cleared before they arrived at the small, shithole-ridden village and found the old bear with gauze wrapped around his head and still a little delirious.
To say the least, Xiong Yingjun, this drunken monk may not really have Buddha's blessing, life is quite big.
The smallness of man in front of nature is needless to say, at that time in front of their eyes as a landslide, the front windshield of the car on the spot by a stone stone, the old bear rushed to let people run.
However, there was a child among the victims in the same car, who had some intellectual or mental problems and was difficult to communicate with normal people. When the situation was chaotic, the child did not know where to go and was almost swept into the rocks.
The old bear while urgently contacting Wei Qian, while pouncing over one hand to pick him up, the child clamped in the armpit wildly, the result of the words just said a sentence, a piece of rock rolling down the mountain hit his hand holding a cell phone, the cell phone directly broken, the old bear even with the stupid child together, also followed the downfall.
The old bear was so stoned that he couldn't hear the others desperately calling his name.
The mud and debris on the mountain looked like it was going to pour down, and just then the old bear miraculously regained his footing, and then, with incredible speed, pulled the child toward the relative safety of the place to lunge ...... supposedly, as if an unseen person had struggled to give them a push.
Another fateful place, is accompanied by a doctor in the staff, said also coincidentally, is Wei Qian hospitalized and the old bear hitched a ride with that small Liu doctor, their hospital nothing out of the ordinary, the provisions of the residents to promote the second line of the doctor, not only the academic and qualifications to meet the standards, but also the need for social uncompensated service experience.
Dr. Liu thought that many of the victims had been abused and were in need of a doctor, so he simply followed the old bear out this time.
Dr. Liu then saw the situation, rushed up to the old bear even rolled and crawled to help out, a group of people do not dare to stay in place, immediately retreated back along the road, get off in a hurry, Dr. Liu's things are still in the scrapped car, a touch to find that the electronic equipment are gone.
There is no one near and far, and I don't know how far I ran into a villager who drove his family's dying pickup truck out.
The villagers led them home, and Dr. Liu hastened to treat the old bear's wounds.
Just this side of the countryside is a bit backward, with the outside world was not much contact, a natural disaster, a time of transportation links are broken, until a few days past, Dr. Liu only in the locals that broken pickup truck with the help of the wrong contact to a search for them.
Old Bear was carried to the ambulance.
Wei Qian and Wei Zhiyuan accompanied him, Wei Qian in order to find him, a few days can not care about rest, lips are dry and cracked, Wei Zhiyuan heartbroken, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed him, whispered, "Brother, you first drink a mouthful of water, a moment to lean against me to rest for a while."
The old bear heard him, and languidly opened his eyes a slit to show a faint glint.
This time, he didn't mind Wei Zhiyuan showing love in front of him, he just suddenly spoke softly, "I saw Chen Lu."
"But no," Wei Qian gulped down most of the bottle of water in one gulp, "you almost went with her."
"She didn't want me--I was hit on the head by a stone, ah I fuck, almost smashed me directly under the Buddha's seat, in a trance, I saw our little deer, she bent down and asked me, 'You're full of shit, ah, running to this poor country to be hit by a stone, does it hurt? I said to her, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I told her, "I've asked for mercy, so why should it hurt? If it doesn't, you can take me back, and we'll be reunited there.'"
The old bear's words were light and seemed a little slurred, rising like a swimmer's touch.
"She pulled me up and said to me 'You big fool, death does not let me live in peace, I have long been over there to find a good little white man, who is waiting to be reunited with you this ugly old man, not quickly get out!' Then a hand pushed me out, that RuLaiShenPalm, the power is still ah ......"
So far, the old bear's voice gradually lowered, the corners of his mouth with an indescribable smile of relief, head tilted, this fainted.
The living and the dead will always go the same way.
It is a great blessing to be able to ask for mercy.
Later, the old bear's bald head left a scar, but also so on the TV news, God talk nonsense a pass, even a lot of fans really take him as a monk to pursue.
After this battle, Wei Qian sort of realized that giving that bastard any bit of sympathy was all a waste of feelings.
Also starting to be active on the silver screen is fellow student Song Xiaobao.
She in Wei Qian all the way to the money to give her the green light to escort the situation, a few years to mix down still not red and purple, as if it is also a ticket, who did not expect her to make a name for herself, who knows the mistake, she accidentally indirectly a small budget movie in the main supporting actress, suddenly, just so red.
After that it was all over, and Song actually won several awards in quick succession, very much like that.
On this day, Song Xiaobao staggeringly called home: "Brother, I want to go home! The premiere of our new film announcement is in that movie theater across the street from our house, you have to come, you two have to make time to come even if you're smashing the pot!"
"OK," Wei Qian agreed flatly, then asked, "By the way, what role did you play again?"
Song: "A female psychopath."
"...... "Wei Qian paused, searched his gut to pick out a word of praise and said, "Yeah? That's pretty much true to form."
"Bah!" Song Xiaobao said, "I'm going to put on my makeup, you and Second Brother will come over early tonight."
"Hey, Xiao Bao, wait." Wei Qian suddenly called out to her, he hesitated and asked, "Do you know what day today is?"
"What day?" Song Xiaobao thought for a moment, "Today is the 14th, the 14th of every month is a Valentine's Day of some color, this month is ......"
Wei Qian: "......"
He laughed helplessly, "Never mind, you'd better go in makeup."
It's the day of the fucking anniversary.
This time, Wei Qian rare did not fall asleep in the cinema, the whole watch Song Xiaobo loving interpretation of the neuropathy, seriously think she did act quite so, young girl, can be so hysterical in front of the camera regardless of the image, she is quite dedicated, probably red a bit of reason.
The premiere dispersed already very late, Xiaobao was pulled by the crew to celebrate, Wei Qian but quietly left, he went to the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, found the fucking tomb - when the burial of the dead is still very cheap, if you change the eyes of so inches of land, the few little sisters of her sold on the catty can not afford to buy.
Next to this graveyard were the tombstones of several others, a pockmarked teenager named Sun Shuzi, an old woman who looked like she was up to no good, and a middle-aged woman with just a hint of scowl in her brow - the graves of both Old Mrs. Song and Pockmarked Mom were clothes graves, and the people could no longer be found.
But they still believe that they will always come back and live next door to their relatives.
Wei Qian greeted them one by one and finally sat down in front of his mom, "My grandma didn't clean you up much after she went down there, did she? The, that's what I mean by getting her here."
No one answered him.
Wei Qian said to himself: "Your daughter I brought up properly, that girl is now also a human-like dog, but blame her father's appearance is not good, more or less a bit of a delay, anyway, she now rely on make-up is not as beautiful as your year, but so what? People can act in movies, or have a future, I don't know how many audiences like it, you? Eight lifetimes can't catch up."
Wei Qian reached out and flicked the tombstone without respect or gravity and stood up, "Nothing else, just came to show off with you."
He dusted off the dirt and tried to turn away, but then seemed to remember something and turned sideways, reaching out to press his hand against the cold stone tablet.
After a while, Wei Qian said softly, "Let's forget about our grudge, I don't want to hate you anymore, it's been more than thirty years, it's exhausting me."
After saying that, he headed out, Wei Zhiyuan was still waiting for him at the entrance of the cemetery.
Wei Qian sat in the car, closed the door, and as Wei Zhiyuan slowly drove the car out, suddenly said, "I don't want to do it."
Wei Zhiyuan: "Huh?"
Wei Qian looked at the bright street lights ahead and said softly, "I want to resign as chairman of the board of directors, just give me dividends every year, and leave the rest for you to toss - I plan to go back to my alma mater to continue to study life sciences, a master's degree and then a doctorate, and then I'll just mingle in the school later on ......"
His original ideal was to be a scientist, wearing a white coat around the lab, recording all kinds of data, writing papers, typing materials, researching something, eating and sleeping every day, researching, except for what he researched, nothing in his mind, food and clothing.
Wei Qian talked and fell asleep in the car with the right temperature.
Wei Zhiyuan gently pulled over to the side of the road and lowered the recliner, pulling the blanket from the backseat over him and tucking it in for him before ruffling his hair and leaning down to kiss him on the forehead, smiling faintly in contentment when he could no longer hear him and replying, "Good."
Do what you like.
From now on, we have only death to say goodbye to, not separation - Qian Zhongshu.
