Chapter 1 Rainy

In the small southern town in her hometown, it always rains several times before autumn.

    The damp air has the scent of jasmine, which is cool and sweet.

    Raindrops rolled down along the edge of the umbrella and sank into the dark concrete floor; pedestrians on the street hurried to their destination.

    The water vapor was wiped back and forth by the wiper, and the car windows were foggy, probably because Lu Yongfei turned on the heater.

    On the other side of the phone, the daughter's voice was crisp: "Dad, Dad, did you bring me chocolate?"

    "You must have bought it, you glutton," the woman grabbed the microphone and said to the child: "Lu Miao , Hurry up and finish your radish soup."

    "Oh," the girl just agreed, and immediately asked with her throat: "Dad, when are you coming back?" The microphone was put down, and her mom said, " Stop the noise , your father is driving." Lu Yongfei laughed.

    After a while, the phone picked up again, and the woman said concisely: "My child's father, Lu Miao is waiting for chocolate, come back early."

    He answered repeatedly.

    The rain outside was heavier. As the car drove to the side road, there were a lot fewer pedestrians.

    There is a mahjong hall on the corner of Panhua Road, and business is better on rainy days.

    In the room of less than ten square meters, the people who snorted mentally shouting for the deal, the sound of card shuffling all day long was temporarily cut off by the thin rain curtain.

    After elementary school was over for a long time, Jiang Haoyue did not go home for a long time.

    Carrying a schoolbag, he squatted across the road from the entrance of his store, where there was a simple flowerbed made of cement, and he was paying attention to the snails.

    A snail stuck to the leaf motionlessly.

    Jiang Haoyue wondered if the snail also found him. Because it was in the shell at first, it came out after he saw it.

    He watched, the fleshy brown, limp body of the little snail gradually stretched out, from a little bit to the length of one of his knuckles.

    Its two tentacles stretch very high.

    Jiang Haoyue let out a surprised "Yeah", he seemed to be looking at it.

    The rain bent the leaves, and his small palms arched like eaves to protect the snail from the rain.

    When the car came around the corner, Jiang Haoyue didn't see it at all.

    He saw that the shell of the little snail suddenly became so shiny and shiny, and the leaves were shiny, and then he looked at his hand in a daze.

    The next moment, he was knocked down.

    When the pain hit, Jiang Haoyue was already caught under the wheel.

    The wipers made two "swishes", and there was a illusion of tingling nearby for a second.

    Lu Yongfei rolled down the car window, the rustling rain caught the wind, as if the seal had been uncovered, one after another greeted him on his face.

    Other than that, there was no other sound on the road.

    The sky was terribly cloudy.

    He knew that when he was turning, he must have hit something, and the body shook obviously, and he didn't see what it was.

    After hesitating for a moment, he decided to get out of the car and take a look.

    Lu Yongfei couldn't think that the matter would be so serious—he bumped into a little boy.

    ...

    Jiang Yi led a group of people and rushed to the hospital angrily.

    He was playing cards with people before, and he was lucky today and won some money.

    It was a bit noisy outside. He heard that a child had been hit on the other side of the road. Jiang Yi subconsciously thought of his good son Jiang Haoyue, and glanced at the time on the wall.

    When Jiang Yi rushed out of the store, the ambulance had just left.

    "Who the hell bumped into my child? Who?" Jiang Yi led his brother into the emergency room, as if catching the perpetrator and beating him to death.

    Lu Yongfei sat in the chair in the corner, his brows furrowed, his expression depressed.

    His hair is wet and his coat is also wet.

    Seeing the child's father was about to rush over to punch him, Lu Yongfei's eyes were still in a trance.

    It was a nurse in the hospital who stopped Jiang Yi from beating.

    "Sir, calm down. This is a hospital, not a place for fighting and trouble." The nurse separated the two staff and said to Jiang Yi sternly: "Are you a family member of the little boy? We are going to have an operation here, and you need your signature." "

    Jiang Yi glanced at the informed consent form, clenched his fists, and wanted to rush over to hit Lu Yongfei.

    "Amputation? What does amputation mean?"

    Lu Yongfei did not hide.

    He has been an honest person for most of his life. If something like this happens, he feels more uncomfortable than anyone else, and it is even more impossible to argue with Jiang Yi at this juncture.

    "Brother, I'm really sorry, I know it's useless to say this, but you should sign it first."

    Lu Yongfei looked at Jiang Yi with red eyes, earnestly: "I will be responsible for the follow-up.

    Yes . The child can't wait, he must have the operation soon." The rain continued to fall until midnight, and there was no tendency to stop.

    The operation was done for several hours.

    Jiang Haoyue's life was saved, her left leg was amputated in a high position, and everything below the base of the thigh was gone.

    As soon as the child came out of the operating room, he was sent to the intensive care unit and has not yet been awakened.

    During this period, Lu Yongfei left once and brought Jiang Yi back with a box lunch.

    The hospital can't smoke. Jiang Yi grabbed a cigarette and rubbed it back and forth with his fingers. It was a smoker.

    "Brother, you go out and smoke a

    cigarette . I'll watch it here. And I bought rice, you have some rice." Lu Yongfei knew that talking to Jiang Yi was equivalent to scolding, but he also had to say it.

    After this incident, he owed the Jiang family all his life.

    "Eating? Am I in a fucking mood? Are you in a mood for a change?"

    Jiang Yi raised his hand and waved away the plastic bag that Lu Yongfei had handed over.

    He sat here for a few hours, never wanting to believe that the accident really happened to his son.

    "Jiang Haoyue, he is only nine years old, he is just third grade this year," Jiang Yi clenched his teeth, each word was as heavy as it was squeezed out of his teeth: "He has become..."

    That word is terrible.

    Even the swear word Jiang Yi couldn't say it--how could that word be used on Jiang Haoyue?

    "I can understand, really." Lu Yongfei lowered his head and sighed for a long time: "I have a daughter named Lu Miao, who is eight years old. I understand the feeling of being a father too much. What happened to the child is more serious than what happened to myself. It hurts thousands of times."

    "What's the use of understanding?"

    Jiang Yi sneered, ignoring his feelings: "You have to be responsible, you fucking have to be responsible, or I will find someone to kill you, and your whole family."

    "I know."

    Lu Yongfei raised three fingers, swearing to the sky: "I, Lu Yongfei, will have a son from now on."
