The so-called outer care unit is actually just a very simple temporary ward - the huge parking lot is ventilated on all sides, but some simple barriers are stuffed to block the cold wind, and the first second he steps into this place, he is blown by the oncoming wind through the hall and subconsciously shrinks his neck.

All the cars were removed like scrap metal, replaced by countless dense tents, there are not enough medical staff, and there are even fewer medical staff who can stick to their jobs at this time, so the whole parking lot is quiet and terrible, except for a few patients' families walking around, only the harsh wind can be heard.

The cocoon god found a few tents before finding a medical staff and reported his mother's name, who gave him a coordinate after a little inquiry, and the cocoon god hurriedly thanked him and went straight away.

He didn't even hear someone behind him reminding him "where are your shoes?"

………

Tent 32, Area A.

About ten minutes later, the god stood on his knees in front of the tent with the slight gasp he had just run over, and when he looked up, his heartbeat, which had been beating violently, suddenly calmed down when he saw the faint light shining from inside.

About three seconds later, he reached out and tried to push the tent in front of him, but when his hand touched the cold tent windshield, he retracted his hand as if he remembered something, and he hastily straightened his hair and the corners of his clothes that had been scattered by running, took a deep breath, and then lifted the cover in front of him.

――The smell of disinfectant water was strong.

As if he was afraid that the cold wind outside would blow into the tent, he quickly slipped through the small gap that he lifted, and when the covering cloth fell, the sound of the wind was blocked outside the tent, and there was only the sound of the regular beating of the monitoring instrument in his ears.

The god's gaze shifted until it finally settled on the innermost one in the large row of beds—a woman in her fifties was lying on the bed, who was sleeping peacefully.

The cocoon moved.

He felt like he barely made a sound.

However, the woman lying on the hospital bed seemed to hear the movement, and she suddenly opened her eyes slowly and slowly—the eyes that always had a quiet smile in her memory became a little cloudy at this time, but the woman still smiled at the first second of looking at each other.

"Mo Bai?"

The woman's voice was filled with calm joy.

Fu Shen had the light on his back, and he couldn't see his face clearly from Mrs. Chu's point of view - Fu Shen stood there and didn't move or respond, he just lowered his head and looked at himself, the clothes on his body, only one shoe was worn, the other shoe was missing, the long hair that was waist-high, and when he made a bowing movement, the earrings on his ears and light feathers collided with each other to make a very small sound.

The figure of this body can be regarded as a little different from Chu Mobai.

There is a world of difference in age.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the bed, and he leaned down and knelt down beside the bed, and then he turned his face slightly so that the woman lying on the bed could see her face clearly.

At the same time as he made this move, he was almost mentally prepared for the other party to be surprised, resist, or show any emotion, but when he quietly waited for that moment to come, unexpectedly nothing happened-

The woman on the hospital bed stretched out her hand and gently touched the delicate face of the young man by the window with her warm hand, and she smiled and said, "Son, you are back." ”

At that moment, the heart seemed to be struck by something.

At that moment, the blood rushed from the beating heart to the veins, from the cheeks that were touched, and the warmth was instantly transmitted to every pore and every joint of the body.

Fu Shen suddenly felt deceived by the one-sided words from the Eye of True Knowledge, and even fell into a deep betrayal of himself, very bastard.

After knowing the truth, he still hesitated and refused to come to find his parents, for fear of being disappointed again, and he was even more guilty.

"Mom, I'm back."

The hand covered the woman's cheek, and the temperature was as warm as it had been remembered, but the emaciation of the palm of the hand made it impossible for the god to utter a word—there were no words to express the feeling of a man's heart when he felt the old age, weakness, and emaciation of those closest to him.

My mind was full of Chu Mobai's appearance of standing at the security checkpoint of the airport and waving at her before she left home to go to the research institute, at that time she had just reached middle age, with black sideburns, decent clothes and exquisite makeup.

It's just that if you don't pay attention, why did your mother become like this?

Fu Shen's hand tightened slightly, holding his mother's hand in the palm of his hand, he hooked the corners of his lips and forced a smile: "It's hard for you to recognize me at a glance when it becomes like this, I thought about it for a long time before I came, how can I explain it to you-"

"Explain what, it's that I'm getting younger, and my face is still the same as before." Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "I have been facing this face for decades, can I still recognize the mistake?" ”

"Yes." The cocoon chuckled in response.

"Where did you find this shell, your hair is so long, you don't take care of it." Mrs. Chu asked with a smile.

"I just used it, and now in this environment, who can take care of this."

"Well, this is still the neighborhood is gone, if it is, people should laugh at our old Chu family for raising a daughter."

Mrs. Chu laughed as she spoke, and when she heard the words "the neighbors are gone", her heart was sour again, but she could only smirk on her face.

Fu Shen clenched Mrs. Chu's hand slightly: "Mom, I'm late when I come back, do you blame me?" ”

"What do you say, how can I blame you, this plane can't fly, the ship can't move, you're in the United States, what's the way you can't come back."

Mrs. Chu moved, took out an old-fashioned flip phone from the side of the pillow, she held the phone in the palm of her hand with her empty hand, and then handed it to the cocoon god, "It's just that before the communication failed, I still have the text message you sent me - your father is an untrustworthy person, and he said that he would wait for you to come back together, and he left first." ”

Before the world's communication facilities failed, the god of cocos once sent a text message to his mother, which said, "Mom, you have to hold on and wait for me to come back".

His mother didn't miss the appointment.

It was he who broke the appointment.

"It's my fault, don't blame our dad."

"You don't take all the blame on yourself, what does it have to do with you?"

“……”

The cocoon could only smile bitterly and fall silent, and then fell silent in the tent for a moment.

After a long time, he suddenly heard Mrs. Chu sigh, Fu Shen raised his head, and carefully tidied up the somewhat messy hair for the woman: "What are you sighing?" ”

"No, it feels like a dream, and when I wake up, the sky changes...... I wasn't mentally prepared at all, and suddenly I was left alone-Mo Bai, my son, in fact, my mother was quite scared, I have been thinking for the past few days, what should I do if you can't come back, or if you come back and I'm gone, what should you do-"

"Say what, you're good ......"

"Mo Bai, Mom and Dad are sorry for you, we did something very, very sorry for you-"

Mrs. Chu suddenly struggled as she spoke.

The monitoring instruments around her began to sound because of her sudden emotional fluctuations, and the god of cocoon, who has always been calm and accustomed to it, did not hesitate to die, but he panicked when he heard the chaotic thoughts of this instrument, and he quickly stood up from the side of the bed to comfort his mother: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can say something slowly." There's nothing to be sorry for, I know what you're trying to say-"

"You know?"

"Hmm," the cocoon took a deep breath, "about -Frigga-, right?" ”

Mrs. Chu's eyes flickered, and there was a flash of guilt on her face in an instant, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she grabbed the possessed hand with her backhand and pulled him into herself: "At that time, Yiqiē came too suddenly, and your father and I were not mentally prepared...... My mind was full of blanks, I read so many books, I taught so many students a lot of big truths, and when it happened to me, I realized that I was really just an old fool......"

“……”

"I was always thinking, Chu Mobai is Friggia, what about my son? Where is my son? How can you be Friggia, such an excellent and soft-hearted child since childhood, who is Frigga can't be you......"

"Hmm." The god smiled bitterly, "You are also a lover in disguise, I have never heard anyone praise me for my ......good heart when I am so old."

"Poor mouth."

"Truth."

"Later, the organization that handed you over to me in the first place proposed a Jianyi, saying that as long as you sign a document, you can compensate us with a body similar to you after the dust settles, inject information about you, and let it return to us as Chu Mobai again......"

Although he had seen the scene with his own eyes, when he heard his mother tell it in person, his breath was still slightly suffocated.

"Looking back now, I still think I'm going to be crazy or crazy for your dad at the time, and for a moment, we really thought it was a solution to the problem......"

Mrs. Chu said, paused, her eyes flushed-

"It wasn't until those texts were delivered to us that I thought, what is this called...... What is this called, how can my son casually find someone else to replace him? Even if he looks the same, has the same memories, and has the same hobbies, it's not my son......"

"Mom, don't talk about it...... Ahh

"Frigga or Chu Mobai, it's anyone, my son is the only one, such a simple truth, why haven't we figured it out? …… We didn't sign that document in the end, but we hesitated, your dad and I both regretted this to death in the end, and I was thinking, if you come back at that time, what face will we take to see you? ”

“…… How can it be so strict. ”

"Child, no matter what source you know about this, no matter what you think at the time, your parents are sorry for you, and you are right no matter how you complain and think - Mom is wrong, Dad is also a bastard......"

"Okay, okay, you see you're still ......"

The cocoon god suddenly felt that it was really not a big deal.

It is impossible for a person not to make mistakes in his life, and even being a parent will not always be right.

Whether as a child or as a parent, the most important thing is to understand each other.

I used to think that the sky was falling apart and I was going to die or live, but when I said this face-to-face, I suddenly felt that it was not a problem.

Letting go of the big stone in his heart, the cocoon god only felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, and he was asked to help his mother out of the hospital bed and hold him in his arms, and snuggled up to each other to say something......

"When I first came in, my mother wanted to ask you, why are you barefoot?"

"I was anxious to see you, and ran away."

"Silly son, don't think you can't catch a cold if you're a test subject—what are you laughing at?"

"Someone told me about this just now. Mom, where's Dad's body? ”

"The city is a collective burial place, not in this city."

"I'll have someone fetch it back tomorrow."

"Don't toss, everyone is gone, why are you talking about that, and so many people died at that time, and they were cremated collectively, maybe there is a ...... from Grandma Wang next door in your father's ashes"

"Then I have to get it back, I'll find an open space and bury it, and plant some flowers on it......"

"Where did the flowers come from?"

"Oh you don't know, it's not like there's no grass growing on the earth now, plants were found before, and then some aquatic animals were discovered......"

As soon as the words of the god fell, he suddenly felt the woman leaning on his arms move: "Is the end of the world over?" ”

"Well," he nodded, "maybe." ”

"The sun is out?"

"No, but we don't want it either."

"What kind of stupid thing to say, if people don't have the sun, they won't be able to live."

"You haven't lived, who knows if you can - don't you just live well...... There are also plants outside, and the air is not worried; There are fish in the water, and there is no need for food—we call them nocturnal creatures, but they are not born to survive without the sun...... This icy and snowy land is not afraid of plagues, as long as the human race unites...... Mother? ”

"Well," replied the woman leaning on the young man's arms, "Mom is a little sleepy, I just saw you back, I'm so happy, I haven't been so happy for a long time......"

"Then you can rest." Fu Shen said, carefully helped the person in his arms to lie back on the bed, carefully covered the quilt for her, and lowered his head slightly, "Is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold." Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The corners of the cocoon's lips hooked slightly, and his black eyes were as deep as if he couldn't see the bottom, he smiled and said softly: "Then you sleep, tomorrow morning, early, I will accompany you......"

"Okay."

"Mom."

"Huh?"

"See you tomorrow."

"Well, goodbye."

The wind whined, and in the dark night it was like a ghost crying.

The god walked out of the tent, the windshield behind him falling gently, and at the same second, he heard a long sound from the electronic device from the tent behind him.
