Chapter 4: Reversal Drama
The story begins on a slow-moving bus, where Mr. and Mrs. Hashimoto are taking their daughter Miho to visit their critically ill mother in a country hospital, while the wife is mean-spoken and reluctant to go, showing indifference to her mother-in-law's death.
Mr. Hashimoto whispered, but Mrs. Hashimoto was even more upset, and insisted that it should be the responsibility of the eldest son to take care of the old woman, and that it would not be her turn to be the second son's husband, let alone her.
Their daughter, Miho, is a little girl of about ten years old, with big pure eyes, and she looks like a kind child. She didn't want to listen to her parents' bickering, so she silently moved to the back of the bus and sat down, looking out the window and falling into the memories of her grandmother.
She doesn't have a grandmother in her memory, but she heard her father talk about her grandmother when she was a baby, and she hopes to see her grandmother in person, but she is very worried about her grandmother's condition.
The doctor said that grandma couldn't last long, maybe only a day or two, which was a pity......
She was a little sad.
Soon the family rushed to the country hospital, which was slightly dilapidated and had a rather gloomy atmosphere, as if it were a sign of some kind of ominous omen. A chubby nurse received them, and was very enthusiastic to take them to visit Mrs. Hashimoto, and pushed open the door of the ward, which made people feel even more strange, although Miho wanted to meet her grandmother, but hesitated for a moment, a little afraid to go in.
Mr. and Mrs. Hashimoto entered the ward without realizing anything, and after getting through the curtain, they soon found that Miho had not followed, so they turned around and ordered her to come in quickly.
Miho was very well-behaved, plucked up the courage to enter the hospital room, lifted the curtain in front of the bed, and looked at the scrawny, unconscious grandmother with some horror - her grandmother was like a skin-covered skeleton, with no anger on her body, and it was quite chilling to look at people.
But her father urged: "Miho, shake your grandmother's hand, she hugged you when you were a child!"
Miho looked at the bony hand and hesitated, her parents didn't pay attention to her anymore, and politely exchanged words with the nurse at the bedside, while Miho just stared at her grandmother's hand blankly, and suddenly noticed that the hand moved slightly.
She was taken aback, and hurriedly said to her mother, "Grandma's hand!"
Her mother looked at her, not convinced, and reprimanded: "How is that possible, don't talk nonsense!"
At this time, the attending doctor came over, called Miho's parents out of the ward, and told them in the corridor: "The old man is no longer in good health, try to spend as much time as possible with her in the past two days." ”
Miho's mother was not very happy and didn't want to waste time on her mother-in-law, so she complained and began to find reasons.
Miho was the only one left in the gloomy ward, she looked at her grandmother blankly, the more she looked, the more scared she became, she turned around and wanted to go out to find her parents, but suddenly she heard a voice: "Please wait a minute, Miho ......"
Miho was startled and accidentally fell to the ground when she hurriedly retreated, but the voice continued very softly: "Miho, don't be afraid, I'm grandma...... Come here, come to grandma. ”
Miho hesitated for a moment and carefully opened the curtain, only to find that her grandmother was still unconscious, but she could hear her grandmother calling her name: "Miho, don't be afraid, it's grandma, come here." ”
Miho stayed for a while, wondering why she could hear her grandmother talking, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really grandma talking? Why can I hear grandma talking?"
"yes, it's weird, it seems like only Miho can hear it. Grandma replied with a smile, "Probably because grandma is dying, that's why this kind of thing can happen......"
"Grandma...... Is Grandma going to die?"
"Yes, grandma will only live until tomorrow night, I heard someone talk about it out of my body before. ”
Miho was a little sad, and slowly knelt down on the side of the bed and held her grandmother's hand, and grandma smiled and comforted her in a weak voice: "Don't be sad, Miho, death is not a terrible thing, it's just ......"
"Just what, Grandma?"
"It's just a pity, I really want to see my younger brother who has been separated since childhood. Grandma's voice was soft and weak, "Miho, can you lend your body to Grandma for a day? ”
Miho was startled, instinctively felt that something was wrong, and shook her head hesitantly: "No, no!"
"But I really want to see him, and I don't want to die with regrets. Please, Miho, can you help grandma?"
"No, no......" Miho was even more frightened, slowly left the bedside, retreated to the curtain, and turned to look for his parents, but grandma's voice still sounded in his ears: "No, Mibo, I'm so sorry, I really want to see him, I really want to know if he's doing well, I really want to talk to him again......"
"But it's okay, it's okay. Miho, you won't see you in the future, you have to take care of yourself. ”
"Goodbye, Miho......"
Miho's steps stopped, her big pure eyes were full of hesitation, but gradually, the expression on her little face became firm, and she slowly walked back into the curtain and whispered, "Okay, grandma, I'll help you, but you must come back on time." ”
The comatose grandmother seemed to move, and said in a weak and relieved voice: "Thank you, Miho, I will definitely come back at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"
"I believe in you because you're my grandma!"
…………
After talking to the doctor, Mr. and Mrs. Hashimoto did not intend to stay here with their mother until the last minute, and went directly to ask Miho to leave, but found Miho asleep on her stomach in front of the hospital bed.
The two of them woke Miho up, and Miho glanced at the "grandma" who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, only to hear a child's voice full of pain in her ears: "It hurts, it hurts, grandma, I'm so uncomfortable, grandma, I'm so uncomfortable......"
Mr. and Mrs. Hashimoto pushed Miho: "Say goodbye to grandma, we're going back." ”
"Don't go, mom and dad don't go, I hurt so much, it hurts so much......" Tongyin continued to echo, but unfortunately the Hashimoto couple couldn't hear it, just urged the "daughter" to leave quickly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to catch the bus.
Miho said silently in her heart: "Miho, hold on, I will definitely come back at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"
She followed Mr. and Mrs. Hashimoto, and the door of the ward slowly closed, leaving only a child's voice echoing that others could not hear: "Don't go, don't go, I'm so hurt, Mom and Dad, don't go, I'm so scared, so scared, please, don't go......"
…………
The next day, Miho packed a lunch box and went out to school with a school bag on her back, but she turned a corner on the road and headed to the station. Her classmate was very strange and shouted from afar, "Miho-chan, where are you going?"
Miho didn't answer and ran away.
The young body did not have the slightest pain, which made her feel very happy, and when she encountered a stone bridge, she saw the "hopscotch" grid drawn by a child on the bridge deck, and couldn't help but jump directly. The ten-year-old's body was soft and light, and her strength seemed to be inexhaustible, so she ran briskly after jumping, and when she passed a small park, she smelled the unique fragrance of grass, and a pure smile slowly bloomed on her lovely childish face.
She sat down on a big rock, wrapped a few small stones in a handkerchief to make a sandbag, played the game of throwing sandbags in her childhood, and gently hummed the old nursery rhyme: "One, two, three, wrapped in cloth, seventeen or eighteen-year-old sister, with flowers and incense in her hands, where is my sister going......
When she sang this, she suddenly remembered something, looked up at the sun, her face became serious, and she began to run towards the station.
She took the train for a long time, and finally arrived at a remote town, and after looking for a while, she went into the courtyard of a house.
The sliding door of the house was open, and a middle-aged woman was feeding porridge to a bedridden male old man, but the old man always refused to swallow it, and his neck was covered with bedding. The woman was very angry and scolded the old man loudly, and then the phone rang, and the woman cursed a few words of hatred, "old immortal", and then went to answer the phone.
Miho slowly approached the corridor, took off her shoes and entered the room, knelt gently and softly beside the old man, carefully studied it for a while, then took his hand, and said softly, "Mafu, it's me, I'm Chiko." I came to tell you that I wasn't mad at you, your parents decided who you were married to, and you couldn't help it, I understand, I've never been mad at you......"
The old man looked at her stunned, first confused, and then cloudy tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Miho gently wiped the corners of his eyes, his expression became more gentle, he gently picked up the bowl and scooped a spoonful of porridge, slowly blowing it cold and feeding it to him, while the old man gently opened his mouth and swallowed it, and then tried hard to say something, but unfortunately he couldn't say anything.
Miho slowly stroked his face with her little hand, and then continued to feed the porridge gently, the expression on her little face was very peaceful and joyful.
At this time, the woman who went to answer the phone came back, and was surprised to find Miho, and then asked with an angry face, "Whose child are you?"
Miho froze there, and then the woman looked her up and down for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you go to school at this time? How did you get in? What do you want to do?"
Miho got up and muttered a few words to leave, but was grabbed by the woman and taken directly to the police to the police.
When Miho's mother arrives at the police station, Miho is in the office under the supervision of a female police officer. Miho's mother was very angry, first rummaged through Miho's school bag, and then slapped Miho hard, and scolded angrily: "Skipping school and stealing money, what do you want to do!
The female police officer was startled and hurriedly stopped Mipo's mother, but Mibo's mother didn't give up and wanted to beat Mipo a few more times, so the female police officer had to twist into a ball with her, and when the policewoman finally appeased the angry mother, she turned around and found that Mipo was gone.
She hurriedly chased after her, but unfortunately Miho had already run away.
Miho escaped from the police station and hailed a taxi to the hospital in the countryside. At this time, it was getting dark, and Miho was very worried while sitting in the car, and said silently in her heart: "Miho, hold on, you must hold on!"
But halfway down the road, the taxi driver stopped, turned his head and asked suspiciously, "How much money do you have?"
Miho took out her wallet and showed it to the taxi driver, who frowned and took all her money: "You only have enough money to sit here." ”
She was kicked out of the car, but by this time it was clearly past five o'clock in the afternoon, and she gritted her teeth and began to take a shortcut and run up the hill in the direction of the hospital. The mountain road was difficult to walk, occasionally a branch would cross her little face, and occasionally she would trip over a rock, and it was very embarrassing to stumble along the way.
Finally, she rushed to the hospital when it was completely dark, where the real Miho had been in pain for more than twenty hours, and could only moan in a weak voice that no one else could hear: "Grandma, come back quickly...... I'm so scared, I don't want to die...... Grandma ......"
"Miho" threw herself in front of the bed, reached out to shake the bony hand, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Miho, for making you suffer......"
…………
Seeing this, Iori Murakami couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - a very good short script, in line with mainstream values, family affection, trust, hard work, and the creativity of soul exchange is even better, there are not many scenes, there are not too many requirements for the actors' acting skills, the overall cost is very low, the only drawback is probably too short, at most about 20 minutes of shooting, and it can't support the plot of a season at all.
It's a pity, she was about to close the script with some regrets, and suddenly found that there was another scene behind her......
Is this the last bloody handful of dogs, so that Miho can cry in front of her grandmother's spirit?
It feels a bit redundant!
Although he is indeed a talented screenwriter, is he still inexperienced?
She muttered in her stomach, but her hand kept tumbling down.
…………
Thirty years later, Miho in the mourning hall is already a middle-aged beauty, with black hair in a bun and black mourning clothes, and the posthumous photo on the mourning hall is Miho's mother, that is, Mrs. Hashimoto, with a numb and painful expression.
Meibao bowed her head and saluted the guests who came to mourn, turned her head to look at the portrait, her face was expressionless, and the voiceover sounded, "More than 20 years after my father died of food poisoning, my mother also passed away, and I couldn't move in bed for ten years before leaving, I tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and I walked in the same pain as my grandmother, which is really ......."
She looked at the statue in a daze for a while, slowly turned her head, looked at the empty mourning hall, the corners of her mouth slowly had a slight smile, took out a handkerchief and tied it into a ball, put it in her hand and tossed it gently, and hummed an ancient nursery rhyme in a low voice: "One, two, three, wrapped in cloth, seventeen or eighteen-year-old sister, holding flowers and incense in her hands, sister is going to ......"
…………
In an instant, Iori Murakami, a gender equality elite in the nineties, couldn't help but stand on his back!
What does this mean, is the body still not returned? Could it be that grandma betrayed at the last moment, right? I don't want to die? I want to take revenge on my son and daughter-in-law?
What about the warmth and trust that is good? Is the ending reversed? It's a little hard to accept, such a good child was killed for some reason, or is it someone who is believed in by himself?
Good people don't have good rewards, it's so uncomfortable!
However, this script is indeed a bit interesting!
