Chapter 24: Death
The square is bustling, the performance continues, Xiaoli sits in the shop by the window, watching the fireworks through the glass, illuminating this town full of memories for her, but since when has this place of freedom that she loved since childhood become more and more unable to breathe.
Xiao Li did not wait for Xing Mo, on that Chinese New Year's Eve night full of fireworks and firecrackers, she was alone in a quiet small shop, silently counted twelve bells, and then looked up, and Cheng Zimu with a smile appeared in front of her, and said to her "Happy New Year" for a second. ”
She looked out the window, through Cheng Zimu, her foam. Didn't show up, the first time, didn't go to her appointment.
Xiao Li lay on Chengzi's wooden back and cried like a child who had lost her beloved gift, she stubbornly didn't want to go home, called Xing Mo over and over again, the phone was not connected, until finally her mobile phone was out of power and turned off, and her swollen eyes didn't see Xing Mo's call that flashed before the phone was turned off.
Xiao Li, who returned to the house, successfully scared everyone, his eyes were red and swollen, his hair was scattered, his face was red from the cold, Zhang Tiancheng was distressed to serve hot water, and several people were in a hurry to take blankets and hot towels, Xiao Li curled up on the sofa, the keychain in her pocket hurt, but she was unwilling to let go, Cheng Zimu held her in his arms, his eyes were deep, Chen Yan looked serious, and asked her, "Didn't you see Xing Mo?" or quarreled?"
Xiaoli was silent, but when he heard the word Xing Mo, his eyes suddenly became sad, and he burst into tears again, and kept saying "Momo, Momo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Xiao Li dreamed of a terrible scene again in her sleep, Qu Qing was covered in blood and fell in the snow, Xing Mo looked at her with a resentful face, and shouted hoarsely, "Xiao Li, I don't want to see you again." ”。
In a daze, she felt that she was hot, but in an instant she felt extremely cold, over and over again, until she opened her eyes, her neck ached, she suddenly opened her eyes, and found that she was in the room.
Put on his coat and just about to get out of bed, the door was pushed open, and Cheng Zimu pushed the door in with red eyes, looking tired, looking at Xiao Li with some pain.
"Cheng Zimu, why am I here, what about my dad, where is Momo, have you ever been here?".
"Xiaoli, you have a fever, Uncle Zhang took over the case temporarily, I can't take care of you at home, you have been asleep, we will bring you back, you just came back from the hospital, you only arrived home at noon today, Xiaoli, thank God, you just woke up. ”
"Momo, does she know I'm back, did you tell her?" Xiao Li grabbed his hand.
"Xiaoli, Xing Mo ,,," Cheng Zimu suddenly lowered his head, and his voice was a little choked.
"What's wrong with Momo, Cheng Zimu, don't scare me, you scared me last year, I don't want to listen, I'll call.
Xiaoli pushed Cheng Zimu away and ran out, downstairs, Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng were sitting on the sofa, I don't know what they were discussing, when they saw her, they immediately stopped, pretending to be casual and asked her if she was better, Xiaoli was in a trance, and even forgot to ask them how they came back, nodded, before they went downstairs, the living room door was pushed open, Chen Yan Yang Minglang, Mo Qiao, Chu Xin, Xu Ying rushed in, Chen Yan's voice still sounded first, with anxiety and anger "Cheng Zimu, what happened, Xing Mo's father was not saved, tell me quickly." ”。
There was silence in the living room, Chen Yan suddenly shut up, looking at Xiao Li on the stairs with some resentment, Xiao Li suddenly felt a deep pain in her heart, and then a heart-wrenching pain, she heard it clearly, although she didn't understand what was going on, but Chen Yan told her the worst result, Momo, what's wrong with your father, why, it's at such a time, in such years, Momo, what should I do, what happened.
It was dark in front of her eyes, Xiao Li felt that the world was spinning, she heard the worried calls of many people in a trance, a pain spread, she felt a warmth on her forehead, and her body fell into a warm embrace, but she didn't feel a trace of warmth.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a pale and bright ceiling, the air was full of the smell of disinfectant water, my eyes turned slightly, my arms and forehead ached, Cheng Zimu's distressed eyes appeared in front of me, and when I saw her wake up, her voice was hoarse and scary, "Xiaoli!"
He was buried deep in Xiao Li's shoulder, Xiao Li clearly felt a drop of coldness slip into her heart, she wanted to raise her hand and pat him, but she didn't have any strength.
Zhang Tiancheng was not here, Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng sat aside, the doctor walked in and explained something to the two, his attitude was respectful, Chen Yan was not there, Yang Minglang and Xu Ying were silent, looking at her a little gloomily.
Then Xiaoli heard Grandpa Cheng speak, and his tone was full of exhaustion, "Call Dr. Shanglin to accompany you and take her there, they have a good relationship, she should show up to participate." ”。
Xiaoli's heart trembled violently, and he looked at Cheng Zimu with a solemn look, and he was stunned at the bottom of his heart.
What do you attend? Funeral?
