Chapter 35: Pathos
When I arrived at the medical center, it was almost late at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky was dark, and dark clouds were rolling and surging.
Heavy rain is like a note.
Qianling stumbled into the medical center, and people looked at her strangely as she looked crazy covered in mud and water, and she just grabbed the medical staff and kept asking if there was a patient named Qianyu.
"Hey, hey, stop, it's quarantine, you can't go through!"
A paramedic watched the soaking wet little girl running straight to this direction and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Let me pass!" Qianling struggled and shouted, "My brother is there!"
"I said that it was a quarantine area, do you want to be infected?!" as soon as the medical staff picked her up, she walked in the opposite direction, "Whose child are you?
A hard bite on the arm!
"Ahh
Qianling took the opportunity to break free and rushed straight forward!
Pushing open the door, she staggered to the hospital bed.
"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu - I'm my sister, I'm looking for you......"
She looked at the pale child on the hospital bed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the clear amber eyes slowly opened.
"Sister......?"
The childish voice was hoarse.
Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked straight at her, his eyes were a little dull, tears suddenly welled up and rolled down his cheeks, his face was full of tears, and he muttered:
"Sister...... Sister...... Don't touch me, I'll infect you......"
Qianling stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly into her arms, her voice trembling: "It's okay, sister is not afraid, you will get better soon......"
The body was hot, and Xiao Yu curled up in her arms and cried:
"Sister, I miss you so much, I miss you so much...... They said you are dead, I don't believe it, my sister will not die......"
His little hands clutched her soaked clothes, and he looked up at her.
"Sister, where have you been, why haven't you ......come back for so long?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Qianling reached out to wipe the tears on his face, her eyes were gentle and firm, "It's my sister's fault, my sister will stay with you in the future and never leave, okay?"
Amber eyes shone faintly, and a pale smile appeared on his tear-filled face: "Really?"
"Really. A smile tugged at the corner of Qianling's lips, but it was extremely bitter.
"So, you have to get better quickly. She stroked his soft chestnut hair.
There was a noise at the door.
Several medical staff stood outside the door, looking at the pair of sisters and brothers who hugged each other tightly in front of the hospital bed, but they looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
"Well, let them have a farewell. One of the doctors sighed, waved his hand lightly, and turned to walk away.
"Sister...... When I'm well, will you go home with me?"
Xiao Yu lay in her arms, looking at her without blinking.
"Hmm. She smiled softly.
"Will you tell me a story?"
"You can listen to whatever you want, sister. ”
"Never again?" he looked at her cautiously, holding out his hand gently.
"Not anymore, never again. ”
She held his hand tightly.
With a reassuring smile on his face, he shrank into her arms, his voice softly showing exhaustion.
"Sister...... I'm so sleepy......"
"When I wake up, shall we go home?"
"Good. Qianling lowered her head and lightly imprinted a kiss on his forehead.
The bosom gradually fell silent.
Short soft chestnut hair spread out in her arms, and a shallow smile appeared on Chiha's pale face.
It's like a dream.
Long
Long.
"Xiao Yu......?"
Qianling called him softly, and the child in her arms slept so quietly.
Her eyes twitched, and she reached out to hold his face.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, wake up!"
His body was soft and boneless, and his head drooped, lying motionless in her arms.
"Impossible, impossible......!"
Qianling hugged him in fright, her hand trembling and reaching out to his face.
But he was already out of breath.
"Xiao Yu-!!"
Crying echoed throughout the ward.
Footsteps sounded, and several medical staff rushed in, stepped forward to check on Qianyu's condition, but slowly shook their heads.
Glancing at each other, a doctor stepped forward and picked up Qianling and walked out.
"Let go of me! let go of me-!!!" Qianling cried and clawed, but to no avail.
"Calm down, the kid is dead, and he must be cremated immediately to avoid becoming a new source of infection. The doctor's voice was low.
"No, he's talking to me just now, how could he suddenly die!"
"There is no cure for this infectious disease, and the child's days are running out, so mourn it. ”
"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense - Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu!" she couldn't stop struggling and crying, tears rolling down, and her face was a sea of water.
With a blurred vision, she watched as a group of white-clad paramedic carried him away from the bed, farther and farther away from her.
I can't see it clearly.
The clothes are dazzlingly white, and the smell of disinfectant water fills the air.
It was the coldest nightmare she had ever dreamed of in the middle of the night.
The heart flutters as if it has been torn in half,
Tears seemed to pour from the top of her head, drowning her from head to toe.
It turns out that this is the heartache.
How she got out of the hospital, she doesn't remember anymore.
I only remember that night, the torrential rain was pouring, the wind was howling and almost tossed her to the ground, and the lightning between the rolling dark clouds was like a silver snake shuttling and raging, as if it wanted to destroy her world completely.
I don't know when she lost her shoes, she was covered in rain, and walked barefoot in the pouring rain.
Suddenly stopped and stood there motionless, the rain wet his eyelashes, and his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't distinguish tears from rain.
Before I knew it, I was at the door of my house.
In the distance, a group of people with umbrellas gathered in front of the house.
A woman fell to the ground, soaking wet and motionless.
People were pointing around her, shaking their heads and sighing.
The little figure trembled violently in the rainstorm.
"Mom-!!"
People watched as the little girl, whose clothes were ragged and soaked, stumbled and cried, rushed over, threw herself on top of the woman and wailed.
Qianling trembled and tried to help her up, but her mother was motionless, and her body was already cold and stiff.
There was a deep bloody wound on the wrist, and the blood had long since dried up.
After learning of Chiha's death, her mother committed suicide in extreme despair.
She hugged her mother's corpse tightly and cried bitterly, the heavy rain was pouring down, so cold and lonely.
In the end, she was the only one left.
Why?
Why is this ......?
She looked up at the dark sky, and the torrential rain washed down, drowning out all thoughts.
There is no god in this world, and she has believed so ever since.
And even if there were, how cold and cruel was that?
Qianling hugged her mother and cried all night, her throat was hoarse and oozing blood, and she fainted in the pouring rain.
When he woke up, his mother's body was gone.
When she returned to the Rose Garden, she had a high fever that lasted for three days and three nights.
Thanks to Linchuan and Maruko taking care of them and using the money they saved from their part-time jobs to buy medicine, she was able to pick up a life.
Later, the family's original house was auctioned off to pay off the debt.
Qianling finds Xiao Yu's toys and the storybooks he never gets tired of listening to, and puts them in a box and takes them away.
Standing at the door of the house, she turned her head and bowed solemnly.
Goodbye, this home where she lived for ten years, this place where there were so many happy memories.
Time is like a rushing stream of water, and there is no turning back.
She was pushed forward by the torrent of time, and finally it was an unreachable distance.
Goodbye, Xiao Yu.
Goodbye, childhood.
