Salted fish travel to save the world

Chapter 42

Twilight fell into a long silence.

Qu Le suddenly felt strange, worried about what would happen, instinctively kept thinking about blending in and blending in, and finally fell into deep darkness.

Once I got in, I felt like going back.

Hey, those who are content with the status quo are the easiest to retreat, he dominated the painful throat and shouted: "Peipei..."

So hoarse.

Is he fainted?Are you back home?

"Lele, Lele?" Pang Tingding leaned forward, "Are you awake? How do you feel... Cheng Pei is not here."

Qu Le: When I blended in, I clearly saw him in the picture!

Just passed by like this?

"Don't worry." Pang Ding paused, "His... Grandpa's condition is not very good."

Classic plot, everything goes together.

Qu Le clenched his fists, feeling that he was very powerful, so it should have just reached his throat, and the fever has subsided.

He must get up.

Pang Ding Ding was shocked: "No, you——what are you doing?"

"Look." Qu Le spoke as briefly as possible, "Just in case."

Pang Dingding grabbed his arm: "Cheng Pei told you to take a good rest."

Pulled by him, Qu Le clearly realized that his so-called "power" was just an illusion.

But Cheng Pei——

"Ding Ding, what are you doing?" Gu Xing's voice came from the door, "Why did you throw him?"

Qu Le, who was swung back to the bed by Pang Ding Ding, hoped that the brothers could save some face for him.

Pang Ding Ding said anxiously: "He is going to run outside!"

"Oh... Qu Le, Cheng Pei told you to take a good rest." Gu Xing walked to the other side of the bed, "We are still young, you take medicine and infusion well, and you will recover soon."

Qu Le: "..."

No matter how you hear this, it doesn't sound right.

Also, whether these two guys are his brother or Cheng Pei's brother, why did Cheng Pei say it?

Forget it, Peipei always makes sense.

Pang Dingding looked determined and said, "If you're really worried, I'll give him a call?"

Qu Le knew that Pang Ding Ding and Cheng Pei had exchanged cell phone numbers.

He doesn't have a mobile phone yet, so he doesn't think he needs it. Cheng Pei recently started to bring a mobile phone for the convenience of contacting his grandfather.

Grandpa Cheng Pei's health has recovered for a while, otherwise Cheng Pei would not have gone out to play with them, obviously the last hurdle has been passed, why would he still...

The more Qu Le thought about it, the more he felt that his strength was gradually losing, and he was no longer able to care about Pang Jingding's guilt-ridden exchanging phone numbers with Cheng Pei.

Could Cheng Pei not tell him, is Pang Dingding stupid?

Pang Dingding really called: "Cheng Pei, I think Lele may be in trouble..."

Qu Le squeezed out the last remaining value of his voice: "Pang Ding Ding!"

Pang Dingding ran to him with his mobile phone in hand: "Lele, tell me yourself."

Qu Le, whose throat was so sore from roaring, said with difficulty: "...Peipei."

"Brother." Cheng Pei said calmly, "Grandpa is gone."

Qu Le noticed an extremely familiar astringency rising from the bottom of his heart, not wanting to make his voice more abnormal, so he quickly collected himself and asked, "Are you by my side?"

Cheng Pei gave a soft "hmm".

Qu Le blinked and looked at the junction of the ceiling and the wall: "... that's good."

It was his own fault that he wasn't there for the other side.

It would be nice if Cheng Pei's biggest regret could be made up for...

It's just that he really didn't seem to be able to do anything for Cheng Pei.

Pang Ding Ding hesitated to take back the phone, said something softly and left the bedside.

Gu Xing took out two tissues and handed them to Qu Le, and then made up two more.

Kuro sniffed.

Fortunately, it is not a cold, otherwise when the nose is blocked, it will be worse, and it will definitely be difficult to breathe.

When Qu Le tried to integrate, he saw that everyone was still in the hospital, but after he really integrated, he had already returned home.

I checked with Mu Mu, and sure enough there was a delay.

"If you rush to stop something, it will be too late." Qu Le dimly pointed out the irrationality, "I actually discovered this loophole only now."

[This time the situation is quite special. 】

"No, I feel that every time you explain the situation is different from the previous one..." Qu Le murmured, "There is also a change in the setting, as if there is some loophole, it will always be round, always round, or, to cover up your The real purpose..."

When it came to the end, he himself felt a little funny.

The matter of time travel is unreal to the extreme.

What else is there to hide?

Weakness and drowsiness came on fiercely, Qu Le felt that he could hold on a little longer, but unfortunately his body went on strike.

He didn't know if he was dreaming or thinking uncontrollably.

Gradually, some fragmented pictures appeared in my mind.

He saw the scene where his grandmother went to stop Cheng Pei from being taken away because he was making trouble to find "Peipei" when he was five years old, and he watched it from a strange overhead angle.

He also saw the picture of Cheng Pei getting along with his grandfather, which he had personally seen. During the time he quickly jumped, he often went to Cheng Pei's grandfather's house. He didn't know the old man very well, but also……

To put it bluntly, the most uncomfortable thing in his heart is that Mu Mu said that Cheng Pei made his grandma "eternal".

There were so many people in that place at that time, especially Cheng Pei's grandfather was there.

Of course grandma is the most important thing to him, but what about Cheng Pei?

What's more, Cheng Pei himself didn't know this.

Everything is a coincidence, why, such a coincidence?

However, he is not willing to ask him to imagine "if" on this basis-no matter what the reason is for this "unwillingness", he dislikes himself very much.

……

When Qu Le woke up again, the room was very dark.

Maybe he was used to being in the extreme darkness. Under such insufficient light conditions, he could even see the traces on the ceiling clearly.

In the corner was a thin thread of dusty spiders.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, he and Gu Xing would help clean the house, but soon, the dust would fall again.

It's normal, time will turn many existences into dust, and a gust of wind will blow them into thousands of households.

Perhaps it is better to turn into dust than to disappear without a sound?

I don't know...why would he want to do this.

Qu Le looked at the roof for a while, and felt that his throat hurt more, and he was choked up.

He turned sideways slowly, trying to change his posture, and the person sitting on the chair beside the bed moved with him.

Qu Le and Cheng Pei, who got up to look at him, met their eyes.

Cheng Pei spoke first: "Is it better?"

Qu Le actually had a lot to say, and wanted to apologize for not being by his side at such a time, but he just said "um" after a while.

Cheng Pei asked softly, "Drink some water?"

The other party seemed worried that the loud voice would disturb him—Qu Le closed his eyes forcefully, and instead of drinking from the cup that Cheng Pei carefully held in front of him, he asked, "Grandpa's funeral is all handled." Is it over?"

Cheng Pei was startled, and replied slowly: "Yes."

Qu Le vaguely remembered that grandma told him that she was going to go out for a trip. At that time, it seemed unreal, but now that she thinks about it, she should be there to express her condolences.

When people reach a certain age, things tend to hurt their own kind.

Although grandma doesn't actually have such troubles, and she is not very old, but Qu Le's first reaction is to know where she is now and how she is feeling.

See, people are selfish.

Even if it is quantified, he is definitely more worried about Cheng Pei now. Even if he is full of unspeakable guilt and many worries about Cheng Pei, thoughts that have nothing to do with the other party will flash in his mind involuntarily.

He really felt very sorry for Cheng Pei who had to face the death of his grandfather alone, and rushed to his side after finishing the family affairs, but there was no way to be [-]% pure in his mind.

No one forced him to do something, but he himself couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong.

It seems to be affected by the psychological development of junior high school students.

"How is it?" Qu Le put aside those inexplicable emotions that entangled him, "Is everything going well?"

Cheng Pei nodded: "Yes."

Qu Le gritted his teeth, and decided to temporarily give up his stubborn insistence that "an apology can't change anything that has happened".

"I'm sorry, I couldn't be with you." Qu Le didn't feel relaxed when he said this sentence, and was afraid for a moment that he would get an answer of forgiveness-I'm sorry, but don't say "it doesn't matter".

Cheng Pei hadn't handed the cup too close to him. Hearing that, he slowly rubbed his finger on the wall of the cup, and replied softly, "Yes."

The words and deeds of the other party were not consistent with the imagination that made Qu Le frightened, but it made him choke his breath again.

Cheng Pei put down the cup, patted him softly across the quilt, and his voice sounded hoarse: "Don't be sad."

Qu Le grasped the corner of the quilt tightly, and looked down on the trembling in his voice: "Isn't this, should I tell you..."

Cheng Pei gave a quick "hmm".

Qu Le tried to calm down, and then called: "Peipei."

Cheng Pei said that he was listening: "Huh?"

"If you, it's you, have the ability to make grandpa leave you later..." Qu Le felt that the question he asked with difficulty was simply seeking peace of mind, "Then you—"

Cheng Pei shook his head slightly, and quickly answered: "No."

Qu Le wondered for a moment whether Cheng Pei had noticed his inability to speak and comforted himself: "If..."

"Really not." Cheng Pei leaned forward, and pressed a soft towel soaked in warm water to his face, "I can't be so selfish, grandpa said, he wants to see grandma, uncle, and my mother..."

The wet marks on Qu Le's face were wiped off bit by bit by the other party, but his heart seemed to be deeply immersed in concentrated salt water, and he was stung in excruciating pain.

But those are the words that grandpa comforted the children?

Cheng Pei also knew that was it.

Of course I know... how could I not know.

Qu Le opened his mouth several times, not knowing what to say.

"Then you, do you still remember Auntie...and Uncle?" After hesitating, he only asked one such question.

"I remember." Cheng Pei paused slightly, "I... remember everything, they treated me very well."

That's right, Cheng Pei is not a human being, so he can't be judged by the age of ordinary children.

Qu Le forced himself to say: "They will be reunited with grandpa happily."

Cheng Pei seemed to chuckle and let out a sigh of relief: "I hope."

Qu Le's vision was extremely blurred, and he stretched out his hand to Cheng Pei, and moved closer to him.

He carefully touched the corner of Cheng Pei's mouth, which was curved with a smile.

Just like Cheng Pei who lived with him later, he never showed his sadness and troubles on his face.

After all, he couldn't comfort the other party more maturely, he could only say: "Peipei, don't be sad."

The smile touched by the fingers deepened a little, accompanied by a faint "hmm".
