可对于孑然一身的路遥来讲,却是无人问津的等死之地。
他是癌症晚期,靠着意志力撑到现在,但也只是多受几天罪罢了。
此刻,路遥躺在病床上,怔怔望着床头柜上的水杯,想喝口水。
可他拼尽全力却无法让身体离开病床。剧痛和衰弱,让这原本无比简单的事情成了奢望。
这时,一道幸灾乐祸的声音响起:“表哥~你真是狼狈呢。连喝口水都得指望别人施舍。”
一位英俊的年轻男子悠闲坐在病床前,翘着二郎腿,眼睛笑成一道缝。
“你求求我,我给你喝口水如何?”
路遥面无表情,一言不发。自从失去了自理能力,一帮亲戚的嘴脸已经见多了,不差这一个。
男子起身,将水杯拿在手里递过来,“表哥别生气,我开玩笑的,你对我这么好,喂你口水还是能办到的。”
说完话,他将水杯里的水,缓缓倒在路遥苍白消瘦的脸上。
被呛到,路遥无力的咳嗽几声,好在少量的水流过嗓子,让他有了几丝说话的力气:

“张鑫,为什么?我从未得罪过你。你去星盟国留学,还是我资助的!”
张鑫将水杯放下,不紧不慢的说:“谁让你这么古板呢,只是运点感冒药罢了,又不犯法,你非得千方百计的拦着。”
路遥脸上闪过一丝了然之色,道:“张鑫你这垃圾,狗改不了吃屎。将感冒药运到国外提炼毒品……咳咳……”
张鑫理了下领带,笑道:“你别血口喷人啊,我可是国际知名企业家。这次回国,‘省招商引资局’还打电话欢迎我呢~”
路遥叹了口气,现在的自己什么都做不了,索性闭上眼睛不再说话,安静等待死亡的到来。
但张鑫却不想让眼前饱受病痛折磨、即将离世的表兄走好。他附身靠近,悄悄说道:琇書蛧
“表哥啊~其实呢,我这次回国主要就是见你一面,告诉你一声——你的癌,是我弄出来的~”
路遥陡然挣开眼,“你说什么!”
张鑫笑眯眯的掏出个铅盒打开,里面是件古怪的三角形饰物,仅有巴掌大小,中间是只眼睛似的图案,一看就很有年代感。
“眼熟吧?这是我亲手送你的,货真价实的古董。我在里面掺了点放射性物质,长期接触就会变成你现在这副鬼样子。”
路遥马上认出来,这是自己很喜欢的一件古物,天天摆在书桌上,时不时的把玩,没想到却是要人命的东西!
他伸出枯枝似的手臂,死死的抓住眼前人的胳膊!“你……”
“别激动~表哥,我西装很贵的。”张鑫轻松拿掉路遥的手,小心的捏起铅盒,将放射性饰物塞进他怀里。
“我赶飞机,得先走一步。你好好留着这个当做纪念吧,有机会再去你的坟头蹦迪~”
说完话,张鑫从容起身离开。临走前,还回头俏皮的眨眨眼。他原本就男生女相,此时的神态动作居然有些娇媚。
保镖很有眼力劲,赶紧打开病房门。同时用无线耳麦联络同事,提前发动汽车。
~~~~~~~~
路遥只能无力的瘫在床上,浑身皆是钻心剜骨般的剧痛,还有无穷悔恨、不甘。

但很快,剧痛渐渐消失,只剩麻木,路遥隐约听到过世的双亲在喊他。
就在路遥的身体越来越飘,即将失去意识时,胸口突然阵阵发烫,将他惊醒。
从怀中摸出那三角形饰物,发现这玩意变得滚烫无比,还在缓缓发光!
