Chapter 66: The First Three Steps
With a loud cry of a baby, the woman's painful moans suddenly stopped, and the doctors and nurses around cheered in unison, some picked up the baby, some dealt with the umbilical cord and bloodstains, some whispered encouragement in the woman's ear, and some congratulated Shen Fuqing in the corner.
Shen Yuan looked at the baby who was picked up, his eyes stared.
Rao is that he has adjusted his state of mind, but when he sees the scene in front of him that is obviously his own birth, he still can't help but feel boundless in his heart.
Especially Shen Fuqing and Li Ping had already passed away at this time, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the scene in front of him, his nose was sore, and hot tears almost rolled down from his eyes.
Shen Yuan hurriedly put away the restless emotions in his heart and the thoughts of his parents, the results of years of experience were undoubtedly evident at this moment, his heart quickly returned to calm, looking at everything in front of him with an outsider-like attitude, and muttered in a low voice:
"There are thousands of people in the world, and there are thousands of suffering. It all started from this point, and it can be described as a lot of suffering. But who can escape?"
"But Er'er, if you feel very emotional, it's just a mediocrity disturbing yourself. ”
After that, Shen Yuan's face became firm again, as if he couldn't see the immature baby who had just been born, couldn't see the ardent expectation on the faces of Shen Fuqing and his wife when they looked at the baby, and couldn't hear the word "Yuanyuan" in Li Ping's mouth.
He stepped up and again.
When the figure standing on the measuring platform heard Shen Yuan's words, he seemed to sneer in a low voice, and shook his head imperceptibly.
As Shen Yuan took the second step, the scene around him changed again.
This is a verdant mountain forest, and there is a bamboo house in the forest, and around the bamboo house is a large flower garden.
The flowers in the flowerbed have become depressed and withered because of the autumn wind, I don't know why, obviously the surrounding scene is like spring, but the plants in this flowerbed are affected by the autumn wind - maybe the owner has not paid much attention to it recently.
Behind the bamboo house, there stood an old man who was about to die, his old eyes were dizzy, his beard was white, his body was rickety, and he was holding a cane in his hand.
The old man stared at the several tombs in front of him, stunned, and there seemed to be reluctance and nostalgia in his cloudy eyes.
The tombstones in front of these tombs are Cheng Kongyue, Yu Qinglan, Cheng Huyi and Cheng Ruan.
Next to Cheng Ruan's grave, there is an empty grave, and there is a tombstone at the head of the grave, with four characters written on it.
Tomb of Shen Yuan.
The old man looked at the four words on the tombstone obsessively, and seemed to see a heroic young man from the skimming and vertical strokes, a free and easy figure who looked at the world and dared to laugh at the sky, laughing wantonly and happily.
And the giant who used to be the one in the sky couldn't resist the baptism of time after all, and turned into a skin that was about to wither in front of the grave.
Shen Yuan stood aside and looked at it with a frown, when he was suddenly distracted by a brisk footstep coming from behind.
A young boy ran from behind, with an innocent smile on his face, as if riding the wind, ran to the old man's side, and reached out to hug the old man's thin arm.
This childish face is four or five points similar to Shen Yuan when he was a child, and the smile in his watery eyes has the essence of most of Shen Yuan's childhood.
"Grandpa, why are you here in a daze again?"
The young boy raised his head and asked the old man while shaking his arm.
The old man laughed twice, did not answer, but reached out and touched the top of the child's head.
"Daddy said that grandpa is old, so he will often be in a daze. The boy looked at the old man beside him and said thoughtfully: "Grandpa, you seem to be really old, even Daddy's grandfather's grandfather is dead......
Hearing the childish boy Wuji's words, the expression on the old man's face became trance-like, and only after a while did he sigh faintly, with a touch of sadness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Is that what your father said...... Oh, yes...... I'm very old......"
Shen Yuan watched this for a long time from the side, and finally snorted lightly, walked forward without looking back, and said: "If there is a cause, there is an effect, if you are born, you will definitely leave one day." The natural cycle is nothing more than that!"
As he spoke, Shen Yuan took another step and stepped up the third step.
The figure standing on the measuring roof was still standing quietly, only facing Shen Yuan who was stepping forward with his back back, and it seemed that the performance of Shen Yuan's first two levels could not move him at all.
With the third step, the scene around Shen Yuan changed again, and the light and shadow shuttled into an ordinary and warm bedroom.
Slightly different from the ordinary bedroom, there is a sophisticated medical instrument next to the bed in this bedroom, and the screen of the instrument is black at this time, revealing two points of indescribable despair. In addition, there is a pair of hanging bottles at the head of the bed, and the pipe of the hanging bottle is attached to the arm of a woman on the bed.
The woman was pale and thin, and she was as thin as a sheet on the bed, and she looked extremely distressing.
When Shen Yuan saw the scene in front of him, his heart couldn't help but ache, and his brows furrowed deeply.
There was a moment of indignation in his heart, and he secretly said that this amount of rooftop was too much, and he always made this kind of uncomfortable scene to test people, is this any difference from deliberately sprinkling salt into people's wounds?
The woman lying on the bed turned out to be Cheng Ruan.
This originally delicate and bright face no longer saw the luster of the past, a layer of rich and deep dead gray under her eyes, this fairy with the appearance of heaven and man seemed to have been worn away by life to lose all hope, and there was only a dark abyss everywhere she could see.
Shen Yuan's act of stepping in made Cheng Ruan's dull eyes fluctuate for a moment, and then she raised her eyes to look at Shen Yuan, a far-fetched smile hung on her pale lips, and asked, "Shen Yuan, you are back." What did the doctor say?"
Shen Yuan swallowed his saliva, only to feel that the scene in front of him seemed to have created a large stone in his chest, which made him breathless and speechless.
Cheng Ruan waited for a long time, but when he didn't see Shen Yuan answering, he smiled sadly and said in a low voice: "You don't have to think of anything to comfort me...... I know my situation. ”
"I just...... Worried about you...... You're going to take care of yourself when I'm gone......"
"I'm not blessed to stay with you for the rest of my life...... I hope there is a lucky girl who can love you well......"
Cheng Ruan's voice didn't show any strength, as if he was a dying man confessing his last words.
Perhaps, it was a dying man who confessed his last words.
These few words don't sound special, and in the huge world, I don't know how many similar words come out of different mouths every day.
But it was Cheng Ruan who said this in front of Shen Yuan......
Shen Yuan tried his best to suppress the emotions surging in his heart, and between his lips opened and closed, there was a slight tremor in his voice.
"Everything in the world can die, but her death ......"
"It's no different!"
