Chapter 80: The World Is Not Worth It
There is no doubt that You Mo is Luo Lan, but whether Luo Lan hid his identity to carry out the task, or was expelled for violating discipline as Zhang Xiangyu said, I am afraid that there will never be an answer, because You Rong is already brain dead.
The doctor said that although the heart of the wounded person was still beating, the brain was dead, and the family could be declared dead with the consent of the family. Accompanying You Mouse was the woman who lived in the same dilapidated house with him, and she was not registered for marriage, so she was not legally considered an immediate family.
Chu Yanran was reluctant to come to see You Rong for the last time, but at the last moment, she suddenly changed her mind and followed her daughter to the ward, the person lying on the hospital bed was very different from the dashing and uninhibited man in Yushu in her memory, only a vaguely similar shadow between her eyebrows.
The three women stood beside You Mouse's bed, each knew each other's identities, the atmosphere was a little awkward, the rich man worth tens of millions and the poor man who was destitute, in different eras, were the lovers of the man in the bed, and they all had the right to decide whether he would go or stay.
"Sit down. The woman pulled a chair for Chu Yanran to sit on, and sat on the bed by herself, there was no sadness in her expression, she briefly introduced herself as Wang Hong, who has been with Lao You all these years, knowing that he has a girl outside, and now Lao You is not good, and it is not interesting to insert a tube to maintain it.
"Lao You doesn't have any friends who can get on the table, even if the memorial service is over, the cemetery is not bought, and the current cemetery is quite expensive, the ashes, according to his wishes, are scattered in the Yangtze River, and he doesn't have any property, and he can't even take out a decent relic. Wang Hongxu babbled, Chu Tong couldn't help crying, and Chu Yanran was still indifferent.
"Condolences. Chu Yanran said politely, as if she was an irrelevant outsider, she asked the assistant to call the doctor, sign it under the joint witness, extubation, the beating on the ECG monitor became a straight line, You Mouse, or Luo Lan, life has finally come to an end.
Because You Rat was shot and killed, the case was not closed, and the body could not be cremated without authorization, and was temporarily transferred to the morgue for storage.
When getting off the elevator, the three women stood together, silent with each other, and went their separate ways without saying goodbye downstairs, Chu Tong followed his mother to the Audi that the driver drove to the door, and when the car drove out of the hospital gate, she saw Wang Hong standing on the bus platform with a cloth bag waiting for the bus.
This aunt and Luo Lan must have an untold story, Chu Tong thought.
Chu Yanran lay on the back seat with her eyes closed and recuperated, without any sad look.
"Mom, do you still hate him?" asked the daughter.
"It's not hate, time will smooth everything out, but now that I think about it, I don't think it's worth it. Chu Yanran didn't even open her eyes.
……
Liu Kunlun has not been idle, his ward is full of friends, flowers and nutritional products are piled up, and the friends who come to visit are wave after wave, everyone is enthusiastic and full of confidence, and they all believe that Liu Kunlun can continue to live as long as he cooperates with the treatment and has one or two minor surgeries.
"Brother Kunlun, let's talk about it, come to my place and have a big drink first. Zang Hai was full of energy, "I have raised my salary and am going to buy a motorcycle." ”
"Don't buy it, you can drive my one first. Liu Kunlun was thinking about his fire chariot, when he was hit, the motorcycle fell and was dragged away by nearby farmers, and later the criminal police chased it back.
"That's okay, I'll drive for you for half a month first, and within half a month, Brother Kunlun, you will be able to drive. Zang Hai said.
But out of the ward, everyone was gloomy, the doctor said, Liu Kunlun was hit by a bullet in the spine, the probability of high paraplegia is extremely high, but it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, because this bullet did not hit him directly, but rebounded in the car I don't know how many back and forth, and finally hit Liu Kunlun, so the strength is insufficient, otherwise he will die directly.
Lu Gang or perhaps Qingliang also came to visit Liu Kunlun, and said on behalf of the company that he would be treated to the end, and that if Omi didn't see well, he would go to Beijing and Shanghai, and if he didn't see well, he would go to the United States and Japan.
"Xiao Liu, don't worry, you are an executive of the company, the company will never let go, take care of your illness, don't think too much. Lu Gang left a warm word and went out with Xu Qingliang.
In the corridor, Lu Gang asked Xu Qingliang: "Old Xu, has Liu Kunlun signed a labor contract?"
Xu Qingliang thought for a while and said: "He should have signed a temporary labor contract with the big market, and he didn't sign a formal labor contract with Golden Swan, but only a verbal appointment." ”
Lu Gang said: "In the future, I will buy more insurance for employees. ”
Ma Houcang came with canned fruits, Gao Junling and Tian Daqi came with a basket of eggs, Xue Wenwu and Luo Xiaomei came with a whole carton of milk, and even Liu Qi from the Propaganda Department came to visit Liu Kunlun, friends from the rivers and lakes also followed, Zhuang Yu came, Zhan Ziyu came, and Li Yu, who was admitted to the Special Police Academy, also called to inquire about the injury, but when the person left, the ward returned to calm, and a lonely and sad mood surfaced in his heart.
Liu Kunlun is not a fool, he knows that he may not be able to stand up in his life, he cooperates with those people, and says something full of confidence and cooperation with treatment, he just wants to paralyze himself.
Only the fourth sister and the spring leek stayed by her side at all times, the fourth sister was transferred to the night shift, half a day to take care of, the spring leek was busy with business during the day, and came to take over at night, the two took turns, but it was also extremely hard, so far the fourth sister did not dare to tell the family, the only son that the parents counted on was paralyzed, and the blow was too big.
Liu Kunlun is not only paralyzed, he is unconscious from the waist down, incontinent and incontinent, completely uncontrolled, on the surface covered with a quilt looks nothing, in fact, the bed is cushioned with a disposable waterproof sheet, inserted with a urinary catheter, and when he comes to the guests, he talks and laughs with others, but in fact, he is drumming in his heart, worried that he will be pulled on the bed at any time and the smell will be stinking.
The people who should have come have come once, and gradually the ward became deserted, that is, Luo Xiaomei and Zang Hai often came, and Liu Kunlun's mobile phone often received text messages and phone calls of condolences, but Chu Tong has not heard from him.
Liu Kunlun was considerate of Chu Tong, and after experiencing huge frightes and blows, people's emotions would get out of control, but he still couldn't help but send a text message to Chu Tong, saying that he would operate tomorrow afternoon.
Chu Tong quickly replied, saying that he would come.
The next morning, Chu Tong came to the crematorium in Zhang Xiangyu's car, although Wang Hong said that there was no need to hold a memorial service, but several old classmates of the police academy still held a small ceremony for You Rong, briefly introduced his life, there was no link of family thanks, several people circled around the glass coffin, and the black and white portrait hanging on the high place used the police uniform photo of You Rong when he was young, handsome and compelling, and the pale face in the coffin was like two people.
No one cried during the whole ceremony, Chu Tong didn't cry, Wang Hong didn't cry, after the body was pushed away by the staff, several old policemen went out to smoke, and Chu Tong accompanied Wang Hong, the last woman next to his father.
Wang Hong's temples are already white, and she was also a beauty when she was young, what caused her to get to this point today, spending her life with an addict, Chu Tong wanted to know, but he didn't dare to ask.
"When I was younger, I had a nickname called Little White Shoes. Wang Hong suddenly opened the floodgates of memory, "I like to sing, I like to dance, I like to import goods, my dad worked in the foreign trade department at that time, the family has everything, life is rich, the people who chase me can row from the drum tower to Yanwu Street, I like to wear white high-heeled leather shoes, they all call me little white shoes, later, the police arrested me, said it was hooliganism, sentenced to four years." ”
Chu Tong didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to interrupt.
"Later, when I was released from prison, I went to the south to develop, opened a hair salon, worked as a mother, and at most there were more than 50 little sisters under my hands, and once I had a conflict with someone, and it was a fellow who helped me get it, and then I said, it turned out that he was the one who arrested me in the first place, do you say this is also fate?"
"You're saying that Yourong was the one who arrested you in the first place?"
"He didn't do it himself, they participated in that operation. Wang Hong explained, and continued, "Later, we were together, separated and combined for several years, and then he returned to his hometown after his business failed, and I was also old and decrepit, and I worked as a second wife for a Hong Kong driver in Shenzhen for a few years, and I also came back, and we met again, and we were together again, so we were a companion ......."
Wang Hong leaned back in the chair, took out a cigarette and lit it, and he didn't know how many stories were hidden in his vicissitudes of life.
"Is this love?" asked Chu Tong cautiously.
"Silly boy, how can there be any love, it's just that some people are in too much of a hurry, and they don't have time to stop and think about whether it's worth it, alas, it's not worth it......"
"It's not worth ......" This is the second time Chu Tong has heard these three words, whether this person is not worth staying with, or whether this life is not worth living, maybe both, it doesn't matter anymore.
At this moment, Chu Tong made a decision.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Liu Kunlun was pushed into the operating room, Chu Tong did not appear, and she waited until ten minutes before the end of the operation at six o'clock, when she hurried to arrive, carrying a large red cloth package in her hand.
Liu Kunlun's operation was very successful, and when he was pushed back to the ward, the effect of the anesthetic had passed, and when he woke up, he saw Chu Tong's face.
"You're here. ”
"Well, I'm coming. ”
Then there was a long silence.
One of the other three patients in the ward was discharged, two went out for a walk, and the others avoided it, leaving them private.
"What did you bring?" Liu Kunlun broke the silence.
"It's my father's ashes, Aunt Wang has no conditions to go to Wuhan, so she entrusted me to take them back and scatter them in the river, I'm sorry, I have no place to put them, so I have to bring them here. Chu Tong politely rejected people thousands of miles away, and of course Liu Kunlun understood what was going on.
"Was the operation successful?" Chu Tong asked.
"Minor surgery. Liu Kunlun lifted the quilt, revealing the bandage on his abdomen and two plastic bags filled with yellow-red liquid, "The doctor gave me a fistula, a urine bag and a feces bag, and I had to hang these two bags until I died." ”
Chu Tong turned his face away, tears raining down.
"My mother transferred me to another school, I'm going to leave Omi, and our children, knocked out, take care, I'm leaving. After Chu Tong finished speaking, he picked up the package and fled.
