The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 29

godfather

The sky was dim, Shen Luo had been walking all night, and his phone was out of battery. He was worried about Wu Heng and hummed his favorite song. It wasn’t until he looked at the small village with smoke rising from a distance that he realized that tears were already flowing out. So he quickened his pace. The blood on his body had dried up, and his soles were like walking on the tip of a knife. The stench from his backpack made people around him avoid him.

Shen Luo’s eyes were a little blurry from crying, and he hugged his schoolbag tightly in his arms. Hua Niang got up early and had already swept the door clean. She watched a figure fly past and shouted, “Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo?”

Shen Luo pretended not to hear and ran faster. Hua Niang thought she had seen the wrong person and wanted to follow him to have a look. After taking two steps out, she remembered that there was a fire in the kitchen and turned around and went back.

After struggling all night, he finally saw the rusty red iron door, and the familiar air enveloped him. At this time, the lights had not been turned on in the room. Shen Luo squatted at the door, put his schoolbag on the wooden pillar at the door, and opened the zipper. The smell inside was as if he wanted to dig out the internal organs.

Ten minutes later, there was a slight sound of walking in the yard. Shen Luo stood up and knocked on the door. The grievances in his heart burst through the valve like a flood at this moment. Shen Yixiang saw Shen Luo’s trousers in such a mess with blood stains, and quickly called You Min out. Shen Luo hugged her schoolbag tightly and did not let go.

You Min looked at the blood on his body and thought something had happened. She almost fainted. Shen Yixiang found him some clean clothes and took off his shoes, only to find that the soles of his feet had been worn out. The two streams of blood had mixed together and dried up. However, Shen Luo didn’t feel any pain. When he came out of the room, he returned to the clean Shen Luo he was before.

The three of them sat under the eaves. Shen Luo told them what happened. When he talked about it, he was already crying. You Min came to his senses after knowing that nothing happened to him and wiped the tears from his face.

“Don’t be sad, it’s just that it’s had enough of this place and wants to change its place. As long as the people here are still here, it will always be there.”

At this time, Liang Qian’s phone was connected. He yawned vaguely and said, “Is there anything we can’t talk to the school about? Why did you call me so late yesterday?”

Shen Luo’s voice was almost hoarse from crying, with a heavy nasal tone. He looked at the shriveled Wu Heng in the bag and said, “Wu Heng is gone.”

“Did you get it back?”

Liang Qian thought Wu Heng went to sleep on the hill behind again like before. Shen Luo choked and said, “It will never be found again.”

“What?” This sentence made Liang Qian realize that something was wrong. He jumped up from the bed and said, “What do you mean, where are you now?”

“It fell down the stairs and I took it home.”

You Min patted his back and walked away. After hanging up the phone, Liang Qian came over as quickly as possible. His eyes widened when he saw the situation in the schoolbag. His usual careless look disappeared instantly. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but for a long time he didn’t know where to start.

“The flowers on the mountain over there are blooming. Let’s take Wu Heng to see them.”

Liang Qian couldn’t bear to watch anymore, so he went out with his backpack, followed closely by Shen Luo. He usually only took ten minutes to climb, but now he only climbed half of it. When he sat on the familiar stone, Shen Luo felt sticky on the soles of his feet, but he didn’t say anything because he didn’t want Wu Heng to worry.

The two of them stayed like this until Wuheng’s blood dyed the entire sky red, with the folds on its belly floating in the sky, and its bright eyes hanging on both sides. Liang Qian accepted it faster than Shen Luo.

“It’s dark and the way down is not easy. We’ll have time to come in the future.”

After saying that, he pulled Shen Luo back. The sky became darker and darker as he walked, and his steps became slower and slower. In the past, Shen Luo was most afraid of such an environment, but now he walks very steadily, because Wu Heng will always stand behind him.

You Min was worried about the two children and kept watching from the roof. Shen Yixiang hid in the house and dialed the phone. He was finally connected when he was about to hang up.

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

Shen Yixiang suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, “Xiao Luo is back today, did you know?”

“Didn’t he go back last night? What’s wrong? Dad and his cat were also taken away.”

“You left last night?”

This confirmed his suspicion. The injury on Shen Luo’s foot was caused by walking all night. Thinking of this made him feel extremely distressed.

Shen Meng grasped the key words and sentenced him to death without saying anything. “Yes, he told Xiao Ji last night that he had gone back. He must have gone out to fool around last night. I don’t know who he learned this bad habit from. He was also asked to come back quickly. He asked for leave even though he knew that the courses were tight. Did I provide him with such good resources just to ask him to take leave? Dad, please persuade him too. Every time I tell him, he looks dead, and I don’t know who he followed.”

Hearing these words, Shen Yixiang lost his usual elegant appearance and said to her sharply: “You didn’t even know the whole story, so you convicted him. You are so sure that you saw it with your own eyes when he went out to fool around. Xiao Luo is not obedient enough. He deserves such good resources. What’s wrong with him asking for leave?”I won’t say anything even if I have to suspend school.I originally gave him to you to give him the missing maternal love, not to let you change him. We have raised him for more than ten years, but he has become a bad problem with you. If you are not satisfied with him, I will bring him back. From now on, his surname, Shen Luo, will be mine, Shen Yixiang.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone. A little old man who was over sixty years old was sitting on a recliner and crying. When he heard You Min coming down from upstairs, he knew that they were back. He hurriedly got up and rushed into the bathroom to wash his face.

Blood oozed out from Shen Luo’s shoes again. Shen Yixiang helped him disinfect and bandage, and kept mumbling, “Why are you so careless? You are such an adult and you still don’t know how to take care of yourself.”

If it were Liang Qian in the past, he would have loudly agreed and ridiculed him, but now the two of them were sitting quietly without saying a word. You Min asked them to come out to eat. The dishes on the table were all freshly cooked. Liang Qian’s chopsticks were wet like raindrops.

Shen Luo also took one mouthful after another. He had not eaten since last night and was already starving. He just had not been in the mood to eat. But now that he saw Liang Qian eating, his appetite felt better. Shen Yixiang did not say what happened just now. The joyful atmosphere at the dinner table made the clouds in the sky disperse. Silver-like light shone in the small courtyard, as if it could pierce all the unhappiness.

After a long meal, Shen Yixiang slept so late for the first time. The originally lively room suddenly became terrifying. Shen Luo tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep, so Liang Qian sneaked into his room secretly.

“I guess you can’t sleep.”

Shen Luo didn’t have the strength to sit up. His mind was filled with the scene of Wu Heng’s fall. Over and over again, he saw the clean school uniform hanging on the wardrobe. He lowered his eyes and looked at the trousers. They were stained with blood, but now they were as clean as new.

The two of them stayed like this until it was slightly light. After saying the words, Shen Luo felt much better. When Liang Zheng drove the car to pick them up, Shen Luo was hesitant and refused to leave. Shen Yixiang could tell that he wanted to say something but was embarrassed to speak.

Shen Luo finally spoke when he stepped out of the house and said, “Grandpa, I want to live on campus.”

Shen Yixiang knew that he didn’t want to go back, so he patted his chest and told him: “Okay, leave this matter to me. If anything happens in the future, just tell me. As long as you say it, I will definitely handle it. You can go to school safely today.”

Hearing Shen Luo’s decision to live on campus, Liang Qian didn’t ask him why. He immediately raised his hand to express his willingness to live on campus with him. Shen Yixiang smiled and said, “Hahaha, I feel relieved that you two have a companion.”

After school in the morning, Liang Qian called out to Shen Luo who was about to leave, saying that he had something to do with him. Shen Luo followed Liang Qian out in confusion. Liang Zheng had been waiting for them outside the door. After lunch, Shen Luo was taken to a house. The things inside should beThere are all of them, and they are all new, and some even have the outer membrane not yet torn off. Liang Zheng asked Shen Luo to take a look at the house. Shen Luo looked around and saw that the house was very big, at least 150 square meters, and it was also close to the school. He nodded repeatedly.

“It’s very good. Did you buy it for Liang Qian?”

“No,” Liang Zheng took out the key and put it in Shen Luo’s hand. The cold touch made Shen Luo flinch. He exchanged looks with Liang Qian and said, “I bought this for you. Don’t you want to live where you are now? This house is good in every aspect. More importantly, it is close to the school, so you don’t have to live on campus.”

“Dad, actually there is nothing wrong with living on campus.”

“If you call me dad, I won’t be able to wrong my son. Needless to say, this house is already in your name. You can live in peace of mind.”

Liang Qian also came over to persuade him, hooked his neck and said, “That’s right, don’t worry, I’m right opposite you, and there are only two of us on this floor, how cool it is.”

When Shen Luo was about to say something, Liang Qian quickly blocked his mouth and said, “Dad, I won’t tell you anymore. We will be late for school.”
