Zhou He didn't go to the hospital to see Tan Ziran in the end, but heard some news from Xu Yuanning's mouth from time to time.

Ren Yurong is very happy to have a son. The child held a full moon banquet before the full moon, which was very low-key, and I heard that only relatives and friends were invited. Tan Ziran's parents came from the imperial capital.

None of this has anything to do with Zhouhe.

When the winter vacation came, she was looking for a part-time job again. While doing a travel strategy, I plan to take Aunt Qi out for a walk during the Spring Festival. Because of her health, Aunt Qi has never been out of Yucheng except for surgery in the imperial capital.

Aunt Qi was afraid of spending money, but she couldn't stand Zhou He's hard work, so she still agreed, and said where she wanted to go.

In order to keep Aunt Qi from getting tired, Zhou He did not go to the group. When doing the strategy, the trip is much slower. I plan to take Aunt Qi to taste the local authentic food.

The itinerary is scheduled for the Spring Festival, and there is still more than half a month to go. Xu Yuanning had nothing to do there, so she found two part-time jobs, one for the day and one for the night.

This time of the Chinese New Year is busy, and part-time jobs are easy to find.

Although she is busy every day, she will have breakfast with Aunt Qi when she gets up in the morning before leaving, and when she comes back in the evening, Aunt Qi will sit in her room for a while before she sleeps.

It's coming to an end soon, and Aunt Qi didn't mention Qi Jingran as in previous years, as if she had never appeared.

Zhou He asked Shu Hua about Qi Jingran's news, but she disappeared completely this time, and she never contacted Shu Hua. I don't know where it went.

I don't know if I didn't sleep well or what, Zhou He always felt weak and flustered during this time. When I sleep at night, I will wake up from my dream inexplicably.

I was dizzy at work that day, and she made a mistake twice in a row when delivering food. The manager of the store was displeased and called her to reprimand.

Later, she worked hard to cheer up, and went to the opposite pharmacy at noon to buy some cold medicine to eat. Although I took medicine, my head was still groggy.

In the afternoon, the manager saw that her face was still not good. At night, the people were afraid that something would go wrong with her, so they approved her sick leave and let her go back to rest.

When I got out of the store, my drowsy brain was slightly cleared up by the cold wind. Seeing that there were new strawberries in the fruit shop opposite, she bought some and walked to the bus stop.

There weren't many people at this time, so she found a place to sit down, closed her eyes and dozed off. She didn't notice it when she arrived at the station, but she still heard the radio reminder, so she hurriedly jumped off the car.

It was rare to come back early, so she got out of the car and called Aunt Qi, intending to ask if there was anything to bring back. But Aunt Qi didn't know where she went, and no one answered the phone.

Zhou He called again, but still didn't pick her up, so he went home. I thought I would go back first, and if I lacked something, I would come out and buy it.

It was still so far from the mouth of the alley, and I saw a bunch of people making noise around the roadside, as if something had happened. A middle-aged woman holding a child in her arms on the other side covered the eyes of the child in her arms and said to the old lady beside her: "It's really a crime, I saw it, it's all blood, I'm afraid I won't survive." I don't know which, I ran away after hitting someone. ”

Zhou He's eyelids jumped suddenly, he didn't plan to go over, but now he walked over. The onlookers were all people from the neighborhood, and someone saw her and shouted something urgently.

The crowd was noisy and noisy, and the man's mouth was closed one by one, and he couldn't hear what he said. But a strong uneasiness suddenly enveloped her, and she threw away the strawberries in her hand, picked up the crowd and rushed in.

Aunt Qi collapsed in a pool of blood and was unconscious. Vegetables and baskets were scattered all around.

Zhou He's head boomed, and countless buzzing sounds rang out. She rushed over and knelt down in a pool of blood, trying to help Aunt Qi up. But before he moved, he was stopped by the people around him, saying that it was estimated that he had injured his internal organs, and he had called an ambulance, and it would be dangerous if he moved.

The ground around was full of bright red blood, Zhou He's body was trembling without containment, her face was pale, she was at a loss, she reached out and held Aunt Qi's hand tightly in a pool of blood, trembling and screaming Aunt Qi over and over again. But Aunt Qi didn't open her eyes.

The ambulance came quickly, and Zhou He's mind was buzzing, holding Aunt Qi's hand tightly, and he didn't even know how he got into the ambulance. She was already stained red with blood, but she didn't realize it.

The ambulance whizzed all the way, and the crowd that remained in place was still talking. Cheng Wei's car was blocked on the opposite road, and the driver in front looked at the crowd opposite, but he was recuperating in the back seat with his eyes closed.

The car in front of him slowly moved, but the driver didn't move. The horn behind him was pressed, Cheng Wei frowned, and opened his eyes.

The driver was dumbfounded, Cheng Wei's brows furrowed even tighter, and just as he was about to speak, the driver looked back at him and stammered: "Mr. Cheng, the person who got into the ambulance just now, I saw that it seemed to be Miss Zhou." ”

The ambulance was already whizzing away.

Cheng Wei's eyes were gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said after a while: "Turn around." ”

Zhou He has been holding Aunt Qi's hand tightly, as if as long as he releases it, he will never be able to hold it again. The nurse forcibly pulled her hand away, trying to say something comforting, but she couldn't say it, and dragged her aside.

Zhou He was already in tears, grabbed the nurse's hand tightly, and asked again and again, "My aunt will be fine, right?"

Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of expectation.

The nurse couldn't bear to look away, and said softly, "We will try our best to save it." She took her hand away and hurried to the emergency room.

Zhou He's mind was buzzing, and he stared at the door of the emergency room.

When Cheng Wei came to see her, she was covered in blood, and she didn't react when she heard the footsteps, so she just looked straight at the emergency room.

Cheng Wei didn't speak, just stood with her. The nurses went in and out, and it was a long time before she found Cheng Wei beside her. As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she looked at him and muttered in a low voice, "It's going to be okay, right?"

Her hands were covered in blood, and her voice was fragile, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The tears in her eyes were about to roll down, but she avoided them abruptly. Cheng Wei stretched out his hand, held her hand tightly, and said in a deep voice, "It'll be fine." ”

His voice was unwavering. The driver who came over handed over the wet wipes, and he took a little bit to wipe the dried blood on his hands for Zhou He.

The waiting time was extremely long, and the nurse came out again, but what she was waiting for was not the news that she had turned the corner. said that the bleeding could not be stopped, there was already blood in the blood bank, and it was too late to transfer it, so he asked Zhou He if his blood type was the same as Qi Yun.

Zhou He immediately nodded and rolled up his sleeves.

Cheng Wei stepped forward and asked about the blood type, and at this time it was too late for people to come over and draw blood. He explained a few words to the driver beside him, and the driver hurried downstairs. It didn't take long for more than a dozen people to come up to draw blood.

Qi Yun's rescue lasted until the second half of the night, she lost too much blood, and finally failed to be rescued. The nurse came out for the last time, saying that the patient had come to his senses and asked Zhou to go in and see him for the last time.

Zhou He was stunned when he heard the last face, and the whole person was confused, and he didn't even know how he followed the nurse in.

A gentle smile appeared on Qi Yun's face with excessive blood loss when she saw her, and she reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, but she couldn't lift her hand. The weak one said, "Ahe, don't cry, be good." ”

Zhou He wanted to stop the tears, but the tears were completely uncontrollable and rolled down his face. She stretched out her hand and wiped it indiscriminately, muttering, "I don't cry, I don't cry, you'll be fine." ”

Aunt Qi had some trouble talking, so she slowed down a little and said, "Ah He, don't cry in the future." She gasped, paused for a moment, and continued: "Aunt Qi knows, your parents have come here. Listen to me, I'm not there anymore, and you can go back to your parents. You're alone, I'm not at ease. ”

Zhou He shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, no, no, you will be fine, you will be fine." I also said that I will take you on a tour, and I have already done the strategy. You have to be in good hands. ”

Speaking of the back, her voice was full of pleading.

Qi Yun showed a weak smile with relief, and said, "If there is an afterlife, Ahe will be my daughter, okay? Jing Ran and I have dragged you down too much...... I'm sorry. ”

When she said this, she didn't know what she remembered, paused, and then said intermittently: "Jingran was just born, and she was thrown into the trash." At that time, I had just broken up. As she grew up, I don't know who chewed the root of her tongue, and she thought she was my illegitimate daughter. I always thought I didn't want her, so I said she picked it up. There is this knot in her heart, she she ......"

Her face was dark, and she was speechless for a moment.

Zhou He didn't know this, she held her hand tightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will find her back, and I will take a good look at her." ”

Qi Yun shook her head, looked at Zhou He, and said, "No, over the years, it was my concessions that hurt her again and again." She closed her eyes and said, "After I leave, you cut off contact with her." She's not small, and it's time to grow up. Instead of needing someone to clean up the mess for her again and again. ”

Xu was too disheartened to continue on the topic. His fingers clasped Zhou He's hand and said, "Aunt Qi has nothing to give you, the house is regarded as your dowry." We, Ahe, must get married and have children well. Take good care of yourself. ”

There was too much reluctance in her eyes, she gasped, and said: "Between parents and children, where does the overnight feud come from?" Promise Aunt Qi to go back to your parents. You're alone, and I don't feel at ease when I'm gone. ”

Zhou He's tears rolled down, but he still nodded.

Qi Yun showed a relieved smile on his face, miraculously raised his hand, and gently wiped away the tears on Zhou He's face. He whispered, "Don't cry." ”

Zhou He clutched her hand tightly, but her eyes slowly closed at this moment.

Zhou He grabbed her hand and cried bitterly, and her world collapsed at this moment.

Qi Yun's funeral was much more lively than when she was alive. Not only Xu Yuanning, Li Pei Yuan came, Ren Yurong and Tan Ziran all came out, and the small courtyard was crowded.

Zhou He's whole person was confused, and the funeral was almost all handled by Cheng Wei, and she only bowed indifferently when someone came over.

Qi Jingran came back on the day of the burial, and she knelt in front of the tomb for a long time without saying a word. Zhou He was too tired to look at her.

She rejected Shu Hua and Xu Yuanning's kindness to accompany her, and locked herself in the courtyard alone. Just lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling vacantly.

I don't know what hurt so badly on her body, she couldn't help curling up, tears wetting the pillow unconsciously. But she didn't realize it, and just lay there all the time.

It was empty and silent, and she closed her eyes tightly.

When Cheng Wei appeared in the house, it was already dark outside, and Zhou He was still lying on the bed. Xu was too tired, so she fell asleep. But the tears kept sliding down the corners of his eyes.

He didn't move, stood in front of the bed, took out a cigarette and smoked it. In the past, Zhou Yiyi had always been vigilant, but now there was no reaction.

Cheng Wei's figure stood tall in the dark, and the fireworks between his fingers flickered and flickered. It wasn't until he finished smoking a cigarette that he opened the door and went out. Outside, Lao Cao was standing, and when he saw him come out, he took a step forward, looked into the room, and asked, "Sir, is Miss Zhou okay?"

There was concern in his tone.

Cheng Wei's mind appeared with her tears that had been slipping, and she didn't move for a while, and after a while, she ordered: "Call the doctor to come and give her a tranquilizer." ”

In the past few days, she has not closed her eyes, nor has she eaten anything. Now I look asleep, but I just don't want to open my eyes. Then sooner or later, she will be dragged down.

Lao Cao replied yes, and said, "I have already called the part-time worker." ”

The whole courtyard is empty and bleak, and there is no warmth in the past.

Cheng Wei stood quietly, and after a while, he said, "Let her make some appetizers and warm the porridge." ”

Lao Cao answered yes and nodded. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Do you need to arrange a driver for you?"

Cheng Wei didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said, "No, there is something to ask them to come here." ”

Lao Cao replied yes and said in a low voice: "Don't be too uncomfortable. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Cheng Wei to speak, and hurriedly went downstairs.

Cheng Wei stood still, the darkness swallowing his figure. He smoked another cigarette, then entered Zhou He's room, sat down at the head of the bed, and wiped away Zhou He's tears that kept slipping down with his fingertips.

The doctor came over quickly, Cheng Wei didn't call Zhou He, and directly asked the doctor to give her a tranquilizer. The aunt below came up to let him eat, but he didn't move, only asked her to keep the porridge warm.

Later, the tranquilizer took effect. Zhou He's tears stopped, and his breathing gradually stabilized. Cheng Wei never left, just sat at the head of the bed until the sky outside gradually brightened.

There was a knock at the door, he reached out and tucked the corner of Zhou He's back and walked out. He has also not rested well in the past few days, his chin is full of beard scum, and his face is tired.

It was Lao Cao who was standing outside, and when Cheng Wei closed the door, he said respectfully: "Sir, the hit-and-run person has been caught." ”

The man had already been caught the next day, but no one had mentioned it.

Cheng Wei was silent, paused for more than ten seconds, and then said, "Shut it up first." ”

By now, even if someone catches it, it's meaningless.

Lao Cao replied yes, and said in a low voice: "I asked my aunt to come up and guard, and you also go to rest and rest." Miss Chow ...... It's definitely going to be a tough time. You can't go down. ”

Cheng Wei waved his hand tiredly and said, "I'm fine." ”

Lao Cao wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and went downstairs to ask his aunt to bring breakfast to Cheng Wei.

The curtains were drawn, and when Zhou He woke up, the room was pitch black. She opened her eyes and lay motionless.

I don't know how Cheng Wei knew that she woke up, and the bedside light was quickly turned on. Zhou He still didn't respond. He stood for a moment and said in a low voice, "Go wash up, I'll ask Auntie to bring some food." ”

Zhou He turned sideways inside, closed his eyes, and said in a dumb voice, "I'm not hungry." She didn't ask Cheng Wei how he got in.

Cheng Wei didn't say anything and went out quickly.

He didn't come back long after, wringed out a towel and wiped her face and hands. His movements were clumsy, and at the end he brought water and a basin for Zhou He to rinse his mouth.

His patience was very good, and he took a toothbrush to brush her teeth. Zhou He had to get up.

She hadn't eaten for a long time, and as soon as she got up, her feet were soft, and Cheng Wei supported her. Waiting for her to finish washing, the aunt brought the soft porridge up.

She didn't have any appetite at all and refused to eat, so Cheng Wei took a spoon and fed it spoonful. She ate most of the bowl, and then he asked his aunt to withdraw.

He had already slept during the day, and Zhou He couldn't sleep anymore. Just sat dumbly on the bed, looking sideways at the lights outside the window.

After sitting for a long time and seeing that Cheng Wei had no intention of leaving, she looked sideways at him and said in a dumb voice, "I'm fine, you can go back." It's been a hassle these days. ”

She knew that in the past few days, it was all thanks to Cheng Wei's help.

Cheng Wei didn't speak, got up and walked outside. Zhou He looked sideways at the window again.

She originally thought that Cheng Wei was gone, but he came back after a while. This time I took a glass and a bottle of liquor.

He quickly poured the wine, handed it to Zhou He, and said lightly: "Drink it, maybe you can feel better when you are drunk." ”

Zhou He sat in a daze, and only after a while did he take the wine and drank it in one gulp. The hot liquid ran down her throat, and the spicy taste made her tears flow.

Cheng Wei didn't comfort her, he just drank with her. Zhou He didn't know how much she had drunk, and Cheng Wei in front of her turned into a ghost, and she fell on the bed.

The pain was reduced a lot under the numbness of the alcohol, she stared at Cheng Wei, and muttered, "It's all a dream, isn't it?"

Her voice was distressingly fragile.

Cheng Wei stretched out his palm, put it on her eyelids, and said in a rare soft voice: "Yes, let's sleep." ”

Zhou He grabbed his hand and closed his eyes. She soon let out an even breathing sound, Cheng Wei let her hold his hand, and with the other hand, he directly picked up the wine bottle and drank it slowly.

After drinking a bottle of wine, the wine came up, and he leaned against the head of the bed with his eyes open. There was clarity in his eyes, and after a long time, he closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, Cheng Wei's mobile phone vibrate. He picked it up and looked at it, cut it off, got up lightly and went outside, and then dialed the phone.

The phone was quickly connected, and he didn't know what was said, but he just listened quietly. Waiting for him to finish speaking, he said I know.

Zhou He was still asleep inside, and he stood at the head of the bed for a moment and went downstairs.

Because there is no master to take care of it, the flowers and plants outside have withered and withered, and some branches are growing. I don't know why, Cheng Wei suddenly remembered what he looked like when he first came to the courtyard.

He stood for a moment, picked up his gloves and scissors, and trimmed them.

When Zhou He woke up, it was already bright outside, and there was the sound of running water outside. She was slightly stunned and reached out to open the window.

Outside, Cheng Wei took off his coat and was wearing gloves and sweeping the yard with a broom. The flower pots were neatly arranged, and the ones that were not hardy had been moved under the eaves by him.

Zhou Yiyi didn't move, just looked at it in a daze. It was a long time before I went downstairs.

The aunt downstairs was busy in the kitchen, and the smell of food came from the kitchen, just like when Aunt Qi was there. Zhou He's eyes were sour, and tears couldn't help but fall, and she was forced to go back.

The aunt was pleasantly surprised to see her get up, wiped her hand on the apron, and said cautiously: "You are up, sit down, and you will have breakfast immediately." ”

She was so thin that her face was pale and bloodless, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

Zhou He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but in the end he couldn't squeeze it out, and nodded.

Auntie immediately went outside to call Cheng Wei. It didn't take long for Cheng Wei to walk in. As usual, he saw her nod and said, "Get up." ”

Zhou He hummed and wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to help Auntie, but Auntie didn't let him.

Cheng Wei quickly sat down at the dining table, handed the warm milk brought by his aunt to Zhou He, and said, "The New Year is coming up in a few days, if you want to go out, let's go buy some New Year's goods together later." ”

He meant to spend the New Year here.

Zhou Yi didn't speak for a while, and after more than ten seconds, he said in a low voice: "No, I'm fine, you're busy with yours, don't worry about me." ”

Cheng Wei looked up at her, took a bowl of porridge and pushed it in front of her, and then said lightly: "It's a holiday, there's nothing to do." I don't have a place to celebrate the New Year. ”
