Chapter 49: A Sudden Car Accident
In the wedding dress shop, Li Nuo was concentrating on choosing a wedding dress, and Meng Yao was helpless and fell on the sofa beside her.
Meng Yao pouted and complained: "No, I don't know, I still think you are married, just let me go!"
Linuo turned to look at her and smiled, then turned away and continued to choose a wedding dress.
She glanced at the wedding dress she had just tried on the side, rolled her eyes and said, "I see that bandeau just now, the lower body is studded with broken diamonds, and the one that mops the floor at the back is good." The design of the skirt is ingenious, and the diamonds are not out of class, and the key is to bring out my exquisite curves. ”
Linuo also had a headache, stopped what he was doing, and looked at her: "I want you to marry beautifully, and I want you to shine on the wedding day." Why can't you cooperate? Also, what about Liu Yuren? He doesn't accompany him for such a big thing as trying on a wedding dress, does he really want to get married, and it seems that he has to be beaten?"
Meng Yao put her head on Linuo's shoulder, and coquettishly played: "Hey, I was supposed to come over together, but who knew that my parents came over suddenly, and he went to pick up the plane." I've been trying it for hours, and I'm trying all the wedding dresses in the store, and none of them meet your requirements?"
"Uncle and aunt are coming, why didn't you tell me?" Li Nuo pushed Meng Yao's head aside, "Have you arranged all this food and accommodation?" There is still a few days before your wedding, and they came here so early to preside over the overall situation?"
Meng Yao glanced at Linuo with amusement: "What's the big picture?" They signed up for a tour group, and took advantage of the opportunity of our marriage to come over for a while. My parents said that marriage is my own business, they don't mix, just show your face at the wedding. ”
"Huh?" Linuo didn't expect them to be so open, "What about Liu Yu?"
"It's simpler on his side, and the only person who can come is an aunt. ”
"Where's his parents?"
"His parents separated when Liu Yu was very young, and then they both started a family again, if it wasn't for his aunt who saw him pitiful and kept taking him in, he might have died on the streets. ”
"I didn't expect him to have such a past. Linuo was a little sad, "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed it, and I wouldn't have seen it at all." ”
"yes, I only found out about it recently, so he's always longed for a home. Meng Yao was also a little distressed when she said, "I will definitely give him a warm home, so that he can rest in peace without any worries." ”
As soon as Meng Yao's words fell, he was hugged from behind: "Meng Yao, I love you." ”
When Meng Yao heard this, her face turned red: "Mom and Dad picked it up?"
"Well, I'll let them rest in the hotel first, and then I'll come over. Liu Yu buried his head on her shoulder, "With you, my home is warm." ”
Linuo and the people in the store were touched by them, but they were moved, and they couldn't eat dog food here all the time.
"Ahem, you can do it, there are so many people, restrain yourself!" Linuo hurriedly reminded them.
Liu Yu smirked when he heard this, and took his hand away from Meng Yao's body. But in the next second, the two of them interlocked their fingers, full of sweetness.
"Linuo, thank you for spending so much time with her. ”
"Liu Yu, you don't need to thank me. Linuo hurriedly waved at him, "She is not only my best friend, but also my little girl, I am willing to accompany her, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Liu Yu heard her say this, and smiled: "You can talk to me like this, can I understand that you treat me as your own?"
Linuo snorted lightly and ignored him, picked up the satchel on the sofa, looked at Meng Yao and said, "Uncle and aunt just came, so I won't join in the fun." Tell them, I'll call the old man tomorrow night and pick them up for dinner. ”
"Okay, I'll tell them. Meng Yao let go of Liu Yu and kept up with the promise, Liu Yu smiled, didn't care about them, and looked at the wedding dress by himself.
"You're not going to tell your dad about Feng Tuo?"
I only mentioned one or two sentences to him, and I haven't had time to say anything specific. Linuo frowned slightly, "You know what my dad is like, I'm worried that they won't get along, and I'm worried about this?"
Meng Yao thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Otherwise, I will take Feng Tuo directly with me for dinner tomorrow, and go to pick up your father in person to see his reaction." If the reaction is good, we will be together, and if the reaction is not good, find an excuse to slip away and find another way. ”
"Hmm," Linuo hesitated, "I'll think about it again." Go over quickly, Liu Yu's eyes are about to grow on you. ”
Meng Yao turned her head and saw Liu Yu's affectionate eyes, smiled shyly, turned around and patted Linuo: "You know that you are making fun of me! When you get married, I must not spare you." ”
"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy, you can do anything. Linuo said and pushed Meng Yao back into the store, "Don't be poor with me here, call me if you have something." ”
"You go back to school, or he'll drop you off." ”
"No! I don't want to break you up. Linuo hurriedly rejected her kindness, "You can't waste your time in school." Feng Yun and Yan Jingyi, whom I mentioned to you before, they are shopping in front, and I will look for them. ”
"That's fine. I'm still curious to hear you mention them, so I'll find time to get together. ”
"No problem, let's go. Linuo waved his hand and turned to disappear into the crowd.
On the other side, Grandpa and Grandma had already packed up and were ready to go to the activity center to watch the afternoon performance.
The activity center is not far from their home, only need to pass through an intersection, the walking time is no more than 10 minutes, grandpa holding grandma's hand is about to cross the road, suddenly found that he forgot to bring grandma a good kettle, just now grandma got up in order to watch the performance is not late, and did not have time to drink water.
"Xiaoyue, you stand here first and don't move, I'll go buy you a bottle of water. Grandpa told grandma.
"Uh-huh, Satsuki wants to drink sweet orange juice. "Grandma spoiled grandpa like a child.
"Okay, okay. Grandpa's face was doting, and he didn't forget to explain: "Then you sit here obediently, and I'll come when I go." ”
"Don't worry, Satsuki promises to be obedient. Grandma nodded in agreement.
There was a drink vending machine at the corner of the road, and the grandfather took out a banknote, took it in his hand and turned away, and the grandmother who was standing on the side of the road also saw him and waved happily at the grandfather.
Grandpa responded to Grandma as he pocketed the change he had just found from the vending machine, and when he looked up when he was ready, he suddenly saw a car rushing towards Grandma out of control.
There was no time for Grandpa to think about what to do, just instinctively pushing Grandma, who was more likely to be hit by a car.
However, Grandma was pushed away, but he was left where he was.
Grandpa only felt a gust of wind howling, followed by a mountain-like shadow pressing towards him......
Suddenly, he understood what the purpose of today's uneasiness was.
Bang –
The car slammed into a nearby wall with a loud bang, knocking a large hole out of the wall.
Grandpa was thrown out of the carriage.
Everything happened so fast, so fast that Grandma was pushed to the ground and before she could get up, Grandpa had already been thrown onto the flower bed by the side of the road.
In this way, the grandmother watched as the man who had been taking care of her was thrown out, and then, with a bang, fell to the ground.
She watched it, and she couldn't even make a sound, and the collision seemed to hit her grandmother's heart, and with a bang, her internal organs were shattered.
Grandpa lay on the green lawn, red blood gushed out from the hideous wound on his leg, and fell on the green lawn, bright red and delicate like a bright peony, but grandpa was like a decadent pampas grass, crumbling, and fell to the ground.
Grandma's heart sank, she got up and went to her grandfather's side, and gently hugged him in her arms: "How are you, don't scare me......"
I don't know if I was scared, but all of a sudden, my grandmother's Alzheimer's disease seemed to be better.
When Grandpa heard Grandma's voice, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know if it was pain, or if he wanted to pull out a smile to reassure Grandma.
He raised his eyes and looked at his grandmother, and there was some relief in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his hand, put his cold finger between his grandmother's frowning brows, rubbed it gently, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a little painful." ”
It's okay......
How can it be okay?
The wound on his leg was so hideous, the blood was so wanton, how could it be okay?
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, and every time his expression is distorted by the pain, it's like a nail in his grandmother's heart.
Grandpa struggled, took out his mobile phone from his arms, and used his last strength to call his son Li Xiaoyan.
"Ah Yan, your mother and I had a car accident, on the side of the road in front of our house, save us......"
After saying this, the grandfather fainted, leaving the grandmother by the side, and was so frightened that he cried all the time.
The place where they live is on the outskirts of the city, which is already remote, I don't know if it is because it is too hot today, there is no one on the empty road, and the vehicle that caused the accident has long been dead.
When he received a call from his father, Li Xiaoyan was burying his head in a pile of information looking for clues, and when he heard his father say the last few words in a dying breath, his brain "buzzed" and suddenly exploded a white light.
Sure enough, his inexplicable uneasiness today is justified, father and son are connected, this is a kind of metaphysics that cannot be explained by science, but it is real.
Throwing down the phone, Li Xiaoyan put on his coat and rushed to the place his father had said, and while he ran briskly towards the underground garage, he made two calls, one to the emergency room of the best local hospital, and the other to Linuo.
"Hey, Dad, do you have something to do with me?" Li Nuo answered the phone while holding Feng Yun's arm and shopping.
"Grandpa had a car accident. "Lixiaoyan's words are concise and to the point.
"What!!" Linuo, who heard the news, screamed, and she hurriedly asked, "What is the specific situation, is it serious? Is Grandpa's life in danger?"
"I'm still on my way over, everything is still unclear, anyway, you come back first, the family needs you. ”
"Okay, I'll book my ticket right away. ”
It is no exaggeration to say that Rao is from Xiaoyan, as the commander of the special operations brigade, has been born and died for so many years, and when he saw his father and mother for the first time, he still had a strong visual impact, his father fell in a pool of blood, his head was crooked in his mother's arms, he was unconscious, and his mother was holding his father stupidly, with sweat and tears on his face.
The ambulance stopped on the side of the road, and immediately several nurse-like people rushed up and took Grandpa into the ambulance.
"Chief, let's do it. The men said as they pushed Grandpa into the ambulance with a medical cart.
Li Xiaoyan watched them take their father into the car, and only then did they help their mother, who was still collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Mom, I'm here, it's okay, it's going to be okay. It could be seen that grandma was frightened, so Li Xiaoyan hurriedly held her hand and comforted her softly.
"Your dad ......" Grandma stood up tremblingly, her trouser leg already soaked with blood, and she could see that she was in a hurry, but she couldn't say anything.
"It's okay, I'll take you home first, there is a hospital on my father's side. ”
"I don't, I'm going too, I'm going to accompany him!" Grandma suddenly became unusually determined.
After decades of deep affection, even if my grandmother has Alzheimer's disease, she can still understand these things.
Li Xiaoyan did not go against his mother's wishes, he helped his mother to get into the car with him, and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors quickly pushed Grandpa into the ward, leaving only Li Xiaoyan and Grandma waiting in front of the ward.
For two hours, grandma sat on the stool in front of the ward tiredly, her eyes were full of worry, how could Li Xiaoyan not understand his mother's thoughts, he could only cough lightly and comfort his mother: "Mom, don't worry, my father is blessed with his own nature, and he must be fine." ”
"He's going to be fine, he's going to be fine......" Grandma repeated the words over and over again, not knowing whether it was her own prayer or in response to Lixiaoyan.
It was only at this time that Li Xiaoyan made time to check on her mother's injuries, because she was pushed to the ground by her grandfather, there was a slight abrasion on the palm of her hand, and everything else was unharmed.
"Mom, what happened? Can you remember?" Although he knew that his mother had Alzheimer's disease and probably couldn't provide any news, Li Xiaoyan still tried to ask.
"Your father, your father wanted to buy me water, and then he fell to the ground......" Grandma vaguely described the scene, but her words were intermittent and had no reference at all.
After thinking about it, Li Xiaoyan dialed his phone: "Help me drop all the cameras at the intersection of my house, and I must find the perpetrator of the car accident." ”
"Okay chief, I'll do it right away. ”
In fact, who is the black hand, Li Xiaoyan has already had his own judgment in his heart, who else can there be besides those people.
As soon as I hung up the phone, the lights in the operating room went out, and a nurse came out of it.
"Nurse, how is my father?" asked Xiao Yan.
"The patient's internal organs are seriously damaged, which is caused by the violent impact of external objects, and we can only stop the bleeding first during the rescue process, but you also know that the patient himself is also old, whether he can survive it, we can't pack the ticket. ”
"Please do your best to heal, use the best medicine, money is not a problem!" Li Xiaoyan hurriedly explained.
"You can rest assured, we will do our best for every patient, transfer to the ICU first, if we can survive 48 hours, then there is hope. ”
When Linuo arrived at the hospital, it was already midnight.
"Xiaonuo, you're back......" Grandma, who was over seventy years old, cried.
"How's it going?" said Linuo, barely making out his own voice.
"The doctor said that in this car accident, your grandfather's organs were very seriously damaged, and the bleeding has stopped at present, but whether he can survive it depends on his physical recovery. Li Xiaoyan said calmly.
"What the hell is going on, how can this happen all of a sudden!" Linuo held back her emotions, she knew that this was a hospital, and she had to be as quiet as possible.
"It's still checking, you go to see grandpa first, the ICU can only go in one person. ”
Linuo pushed the door in, her hands as cold as metal doorknobs. Who could tell her that she actually went to the wrong ward. Who is this gray-haired, withered old man in front of her, who is her grandfather who used to be so energetic? Linuo sat on the edge of the bed, biting his trembling lip to prevent himself from crying.
"Grandpa......" Linuo couldn't help but call softly, but he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person. The grandfather opened his eyes very slowly, and when he saw his granddaughter, a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then turned into sadness.
"Arnold...... There you are...... It just so happened that I dreamed of you just now, and I dreamed that you gave me tea at the wedding, and I gave you a big red envelope......"
Linuo wanted to hold her grandfather's hand, but found that there was an infusion needle inserted on it, and she said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, when I get married, I will definitely give you tea, you must be good...... Live well......"
Grandpa's face was distorted by pain, and Li Nuo hurriedly shouted outside the door, Li Xiaoyan rushed in with the doctor, and then their families were locked out.
Although it didn't take long, Linuo and his father sat outside the door, silently waiting, as if a century had passed.
When the doctor came out, he ran forward a few steps away, "Doctor, how is my grandfather?"
"The patient's condition is not optimistic, and I advise you to be mentally prepared. ”
"Save him, please, by any means, save her. Linuo choked up and pleaded.
"You can rest assured, our hospital will do its best to save any patient. The doctor uttered formulaic sentences with a blank expression, and Lino sat down in his chair as he watched the doctor walk away.
Yes, for every patient's family, the one on the hospital bed is their dearest and beloved, but for the doctor, it is just a broken body.
The following night was a nightmare life, there were other patients living in the ICU ward, and most of them were seriously ill, and the next bed was with terminal cancer, and it hurt at night and moaned all night.
Grandpa's sleep became very shallow, it was easy to wake up at the slightest sound, he couldn't fall asleep at night, and during the day it was full of people, and sleeping well became a luxury, and his spirit became worse and worse.
And that's not the worst of all, the patient by the window was already dying, and finally the next night he swallowed his breath, and the grandfather heard the shrill cries of the patient's family members in his half-asleep sleep, and then watched as someone carried the body out covered with a white cloth.
Grandpa's hand gripped Linuo nervously, his knuckles turned white, and his nails dug into Lino's flesh, and the next day a new seriously ill patient filled the empty bed.
At five o'clock in the morning, 37 hours after the car accident, Grandpa swallowed his last breath in the hospital bed, and Linuo kept holding Grandpa's hand, feeling his body getting cold little by little.
Eventually, her father pulled her away from her grandfather, and she stood on the hospital corridor and watched as the nurse pushed his grandfather, who was covered with white sheets, and tried to chase after him, but her feet were as heavy as lead.
Leaning on the edge of the bench, he slowly crouched down, listening to the sound of the wheels getting farther and farther away, farther and farther away, until he could no longer hear it......
She didn't know how long she had been in this position, but it was getting brighter, and someone came up to talk to her, but she couldn't hear or remember what was said, she just wanted to huddle here alone, all the time.
She did not look back until a pair of hands pressed her shoulders, and instead of waiting for a moment before leaving, the owner of the hands did not wait for a moment before leaving, but squatted down in the same way, and took her in his arms, curled up in a ball.
She remembered the embrace.
She let the body behind her support her weight, and then heard him say, "Cry." ”
She hadn't tasted tears for a long time, and no matter how difficult it was to take care of her grandfather, she held back her tears, because tears represent weakness.
But why should she be strong, why should she be independent, she just needs a shoulder of expectation for her to cry bitterly.
Linuo turned his head with difficulty, buried his face in his shoulder and neck, first sobbed silently, and then cried bitterly, "I don't have a grandfather anymore, I don't have a mother anymore, there's nothing, I'm the only one...... Why do the people I love leave in the end!"
"I won't. Feng Tuo patted her on the shoulder, "I will always be with you." ”
