The wind blows and the fallen leaves rustle, it is already dusk.Wu Liuyi stood in front of the window and stared at the fading sunset in the sky, dazed. Another day was about to pass.
The bathroom door slammed softly, Shi Jin came out wrapped in a towel, his movements were a little sluggish, Wu Liuyi immediately went over to help.
"No need." Shi Jin struggled a bit, but actually didn't have much strength, Wu Liuyi hurriedly let him go and stepped back helplessly.
Shi Jin wiped his wet short hair with a towel, splashing a little water, Wu Liuyi stood beside him, his eyes never turning away, the worry and pain in his eyes were so deep.
Shi Jin has lost a lot of weight, and now he can be described as "shattered and erect", and his body is getting worse and worse. Wu Liuyi feels that he is really about to lose weight.
But still holding on.for what?
- A person, a mind, a feeling.
Shi Jin went into the bedroom after drying his hair, and when he came out after a while, he had already changed into proper pajamas.
His complexion was very bad, but he still smiled at Wu Liuyi, and when the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes narrowed into a straight line. This smile was the same as before and never changed.
"Drink the medicine." Wu Liuyi handed a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine to Shi Jin. It was dark brown liquid, thick, with faint white steam.
The corners of Shi Jin's mouth deepened, and he smiled exaggeratedly and helplessly: "Liu Yi, you always do inappropriate things when I'm in a good mood."
"Drink it while it's hot, it's even bitterer when it's cold." Wu Liuyi also wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he had to keep his voice as gentle as possible.
Shi Jin couldn't resist him, so he leaned over to the bowl and took a sip, then frowned suddenly: "It's too hot!"
"Ah? Burning?" Wu Liuyi asked nervously.
"It's okay." Shi Jin smiled, with dimples showing on one cheek, "Put it on the table first, I'll remember to drink it later."
"Okay, then I'll go out and do some shopping. It's cold, so don't follow me." Wu Liu put the medicine bowl on the table, still a little worried.
"Go quickly, what are you talking about, your squad leader is not terminally ill yet." Shi Jin urged half-jokingly, his Mandarin mixed with a Northeast accent.
Wu Liuyi still couldn't laugh, thinking that the sentence "Your squad leader is not terminally ill" is so harsh, shook his head to keep himself from thinking, wrapped his coat and went out.
As Wu Liuyi left, Shi Jin's smile immediately collapsed, as if he had suddenly lost his support, and leaned softly against the wall.He stared at the bowl of dark brown medicine for a long time, then suddenly walked over to pick it up, turned and went into the bathroom.
Shi Jin flipped his wrist and dumped it without hesitation, and the sound of flushing came from the bathroom.
He has been tired of taking this medicine for a long time, and it can't be cured anyway, so why bother?
Wu Liuyi came out of the small supermarket in front of his house and went to the pharmacy across the road.He and the boss obviously knew each other very well. They nodded at each other when they entered the door. The boss started dispensing the medicine without having to show the prescription. Judging by the quickness, it is estimated that the preparation can be completed quickly even with eyes closed.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the boss to hand over several packs of prepared medicine to Wu Liuyi. Wu Liuyi paid the money and was about to leave when the boss stopped him.
"Let's persuade him to go to the hospital. This medicine is just for psychological comfort. I really don't know how useful it will be. You know his disease...it can't be cured. Well, it is normal for me to open a pharmacy. You shouldn’t talk too much, brother, I’m persuading you because it’s not easy for you.”
"He is very stubborn, and he won't agree. After he finally got out of the hospital, there is no way to ask him to go back." Wu Liuyi shook his head helplessly, and then said gratefully to the boss, "thank you anyway .”
Wu Liuyi entered the door with a chill in his body, and the room was very quiet.After changing his shoes and walking into the living room, Shi Jin was sitting on the sofa flipping through a photo album.Wu Liuyi sat down and watched with him.
It was a new photo album, but the photos in it were all old photos.Young faces, all dressed in military uniforms, full of youthful olive green.Steel Seventh Company - a name they are proud of.Young and frivolous, happy times.
"Time flies so fast, I always feel like it was only yesterday that we were in Gangqilian." Wu Liuyi sighed softly.
"It's not too bad, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Sanduo has become the vice-captain in Old A." Shi Jin smiled gratifiedly, and there was a young man in the row of military uniforms smiling exaggeratedly, with big white teeth Very eye-catching.
The slender fingers rubbed lightly, slowly slid across those familiar faces, but stayed on one face for a long time.
The man smiled flamboyantly, with a proud look on his face, and his bright eyes gleamed, making his face even more handsome.
"Company commander..." Shi Jin murmured, as if in a dream.
Wu Liuyi felt sad for a while, and simply stopped looking at the photos, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looked at Shi Jin and put it back in his pocket helplessly.Because of Shi Jin's illness, he no longer smokes in front of him. "You're doing it to yourself again. If you can't let it go, go to him." Wu Liuyi said with some anger.
"I'm already like this, why do you need him." Shi Jin closed the photo album and slowly leaned on the sofa. He closed his eyes, really tired.
Wu Liuyi touched his pockets. People who are addicted to cigarettes tend to be irritable.He stood up and walked out quickly, but stopped when he was about to reach the door, and said in a relaxed tone: "Squad leader, you used to talk about me, and now I will talk about you too, let's not abuse ourselves? I know what you think , determined to leave the hospital, and ran all the way from the northeast to Beijing, didn’t he just want to get closer to him! But does he know that you’re doing this? Does he know why you’ve come here all these years?!”
"Stop talking, okay?" Shi Jin suddenly turned his head and stared at Wu Liuyi firmly, with deep pain in his dark pupils, "Shut up, Liuyi."
Stared at by such eyes, Wu Liuyi could no longer complain, but his stubborn character made him stare back at his monitor.
Silence, stalemate, Wu Liuyi suddenly slammed the door out after a while.
The smog was lingering, and the choking smell was inhaled into the lungs, and the irritable mood gradually calmed down.Wu Liuyi stood in the cold air for a long time, and did not prepare to return to the house until the smell of tobacco dissipated from his body.
There was a "snap", as if something was broken.Wu Liuyi was so startled that he hurriedly opened the door and saw Shi Jin squatting down to pick up the broken glass.It turned out that a glass fell to the ground.
"Hey monitor, don't move, I'll come and I will come."
Wu Liuyi couldn't help but help Shi Jin onto the sofa, and then collected the broken glass with a broom and dustpan.Shi Jin leaned on the sofa and didn't speak, his face was not good and his hands were shaking a little.Wu Liu took a look at him, thinking that he was angry with him, so he quickly eased his tone and lowered his voice: "Isn't it... can you blame me?"
Shi Jin still didn't speak, his face turned pale again.
"I, I'm not in the right mood, I should mention what I shouldn't, so don't take it to heart." Wu Liuyi is still seriously apologizing, regretting in his heart.Why can't I change my bad temper, he is a patient, very sick, why can't I keep saying something that hurts people's hearts!
Shi Jin suddenly raised his hand and squeezed his stomach forcefully, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Wu Liuyi's face changed when he realized it.
"Does it hurt again?"
Shi Jin's thin face was bloodless, and he nodded weakly.
Wu Liuyi seemed to feel that he was in more pain than him, hurriedly found out the medicine, poured a glass of water and handed it to Shi Jin, staring at the unremarkable little medicine bottle but hesitated again.
Shi Jin was in excruciating pain, so he didn't care so much, he grabbed the medicine bottle and quickly poured out a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
Wu Liuyi grabbed his hand: "Well, eat less."
Seeing the concern naturally revealed in Wu Liu's eyes, Shi Jin sighed and put the medicine back. "Forget it, it won't work if you eat less, don't eat."
Wu Liuyi took the medicine bottle returned by Shi Jin and was stunned for a moment: "...I will decoct the medicine, Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is good, this painkiller really needs to be taken less." As soon as he turned around, his arm was grabbed, Shi Jin's light voice made people panic: "Don't worry about Liu Yi, sit with me for a while."
Wu Liuyi froze, and sat down next to Shi Jin, a little helpless.Shi Jin closed his eyes slightly, and his hands were loosened from his stomach, maybe it doesn't hurt so much, Wu Liuyi thought sadly.
The person in front of him was haggard, and he was completely different from the lively third squad leader with a warm smile in the No. [-] Steel Company back then. God, you really don’t love people. He is so good, why do you torture him like this!Wu Liu's eyes turned hot, he endured the pain and suppressed it, and saw that Shi Jin had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Wu Liu carried Shi Jin back to the bedroom and put him on the bed, covered the quilt lightly, turned off the light, and returned to the living room.Taking down the back of the sofa is just enough for the width of a single bed. Wu Liuyi has been sleeping in the living room since he lived here.He thought it was good and easy to take care of.
After making his own "bed", Wu Liuyi got into the quilt, but couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he fell into memories.
The author has something to say: Why is my love for the company commander and squad leader so long?
Digging again.This time it’s a novella, it won’t be very long.Evil fun broke out, please be tolerant of the bloody place, please believe that I love the monitor, bow down.
