Chapter 10: The First Person (Part II)
Running out of the hospital quickly, Xiaoyan sat at the bus stop for a long time. People come and go, and the traffic is endless, but Xiaoyan just sits in a daze, not knowing what to think.
After a while, Xiaoyan finally came back to her senses. Instead of taking the bus back, I left the bus station.
After buying fruit near the hospital, Xiaoyan walked into the hospital again. When I came to the 413 ward that the nurse said before, the configuration inside was excellent, but only the old man was lying on the hospital bed.
Hearing the footsteps, the old man didn't even open his eyes: "I've already taken medicine today, and the time for the injection hasn't come yet." ”
"Grandpa Zheng, I'm here to see you." Xiaoyan walked into the hospital room and put the fruit on the bedside.
The old man turned his head in surprise and looked at Luo Xiaoyan with a complicated gaze: "Child, you went to the wrong ward, I don't know you." ”
"Grandpa Zheng, my name is Luo Xiaoyan, and I am your granddaughter's friend. I heard she said you were hospitalized, so came over to see you. Although she knew it was wrong, Xiaoyan still made up a lie.
"Granddaughter?" Old Grandpa Zheng Zhongqiu was stunned for a while, and then slowly showed a kind smile, "You are Xiao Yue's friend, right?" That kid is really, and if a friend wants to come over, he doesn't know how to tell me in advance. ”
Seeing that she guessed correctly that the old grandfather had a granddaughter, Luo Xiaoyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yueyue, she may be busy and forget." ”
"They are all busy, adults are busy with work, and children are busy with studying." The old man's gaze looked through Luo Xiaoyan at the closed ward door, "Aren't you busy?" How do you have time to come and see me, an old man who is dying? ”
"It seems to be fine, but even if you are busy, you can still do it with a little time." Xiaoyan smiled a little awkwardly, and turned her gaze to the fruit on the bedside, "Does Grandpa Zheng want to eat fruit?" I bought apples, bananas and oranges, what does Grandpa want to eat? ”
Grandpa Zheng glanced at the fruit, turned his head to look at Xiaoyan, and his gaze softened a lot: "Apple." ”
Luo Xiaoyan chose the largest and reddest apple among them and began to peel it: "When I bought the apple, I also asked if it was a pink apple, if it was a crisp apple, I was afraid that my grandfather would not be able to bite it." But even though my teeth are crunchy, I still think pink apples are delicious, what does Grandpa think? ”
"It's all delicious." Grandpa Zheng took the apple handed by Luo Xiaoyan, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.
For the rest of the day, Luo Xiaoyan was in the hospital with Grandpa Zheng. In the quiet hospital, there was a burst of laughter from Ward 413 from time to time. Especially Grandpa Zheng's hearty laughter, as if he was no longer a terminally ill old man, but a middle-aged man with strong blood.
However, happy times always pass quickly. The time for the visit was coming to an end, and the closing time of the school dormitory was gradually approaching, so Luo Xiaoyan had to prepare to leave and go back to school.
Looking at Luo Xiaoyan saying goodbye, Grandpa Zheng's eyes showed reluctance and sadness: "Child, will you come back tomorrow?" ”
After getting along with Grandpa Zheng for nearly a day, Luo Xiaoyan likes this kind and humorous old man very much. Although it was originally because of the Grim Reaper's notebook that she came into contact with Grandpa Zheng, now Luo Xiaoyan has long forgotten about the notebook. Looking at the reluctance in the old man's eyes, and thinking that tomorrow was Sunday, Luo Xiaoyan couldn't help but nodded.
Grandpa Zheng showed a pleasant smile again at the moment when Xiaoyan nodded: "Child, be careful on the way back, rest well at night, come over early tomorrow, grandpa has a surprise for you." ”
"Okay, grandpa will rest early." Xiaoyan nodded and smiled, "Goodbye, see you tomorrow!" ”
"See you tomorrow!" Grandpa Zheng also smiled and nodded, in a very good mood.
When I left the hospital, it was already dark, but fortunately I didn't miss the last train. Shun lì got on the bus, and the moment she hugged her backpack, Luo Xiaoyan remembered the notebook again. On the Grim Reaper's notebook, the first name that appeared was this amiable Grandpa Zheng.
Holding the backpack, thinking of the Grim Reaper's notebook placed in it and Grandpa Zheng in the hospital, Xiaoyan's heart was extremely entangled. After nearly a day of getting along, Xiaoyan's heart did not want to see Grandpa Zheng pass away. But the name appeared in the Grim Reaper's notebook, and Xiaoyan didn't know what to do.
Sitting on the chair in a daze and pondering for a long time, Luo Xiaoyan seemed to have made a decision, took a deep breath, and took out the Grim Reaper notebook from her backpack. Without looking at the notebook in her hand carefully, and without even any pause, Luo Xiaoyan opened the window and threw out the notebook in her hand vigorously.
For a moment, time seems to freeze. The moving bus stopped, and the regressing scenery outside the window froze, even the other people on the bus and the people walking on the street stopped. The flickering neon lights on the streets at night are still, and the thrown Grim Reaper's notebook hangs in the air and does not fall again. All the qiē around the body, except for Luo Xiaoyan, who did not set the outside, all the qiē were stationary.
In this way, the Grim Reaper suddenly appeared next to the notebook that was thrown out of the car, reached out and took the notebook, and the figure appeared on the bus in a flash.
"Damn, you can't be lazy if you want to steal for a while!" After habitually complaining, the Grim Reaper sat beside Luo Xiaoyan and spoke in an impatient tone, "Girl, I told you that you can't destroy the notebook, right?" You're impatient to live and want to die, aren't you? ”
Probably because she has seen Death God You more times, Luo Xiaoyan is no longer as afraid of Death God as she was at the beginning, even if You looks very fierce now, Luo Xiaoyan will no longer tremble as before.
"You only said you can't destroy it, but you didn't say you can't throw ......it away," Luo Xiaoyan muttered in a very small voice.
However, even Luo Xiaoyan's voice can't escape the ears of the Grim Reaper. But even after hearing Xiaoyan's words, the god of death was speechless.
"You, I like Grandpa Zheng very much, he is very nice and kind. Can I not take Grandpa Zheng with me? Seeing that the god of death didn't speak, Luo Xiaoyan's courage became even greater.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature. Zheng Zhongqiu's longevity is so that it can't be changed! The Grim Reaper sighed, "Death, should be ruthless and desireless, and see through life and death." Otherwise, you can't become a grim reaper. ”
Luo Xiaoyan looked at the god of death as if she didn't understand: "But, didn't Sun Wukong change the book of life and death?" So this should be something that can be changed, right? ”
The Grim Reaper gave Luo Xiaoyan a roll of his eyes, with an incredulous expression: "That's a mythical story, do you actually believe it?" ”
And Luo Xiaoyan also replied unceremoniously: "The Grim Reaper or something is still a supernatural story, now what?" The Grim Reaper sat next to me and discussed Shou Yuan with me! What else is impossible in this world? ”
"You little girl is getting bolder!" The Grim Reaper looked at Luo Xiaoyan with interest, "It's a little interesting." ”
Luo Xiaoyan stared at the grim reaper angrily and didn't speak for a long time. Death didn't know what he was thinking, he kept looking at Luo Xiaoyan and didn't speak.
After a while, the Grim Reaper Yu threw the Grim Reaper Notebook into Luo Xiaoyan's arms: "Keep the Grim Reaper Notebook, there are still nine days, don't forget to complete the task." ”
Then, before Luo Xiaoyan could react, she disappeared into the carriage. And with the disappearance of the god of death, the frozen time was restored, and the bus moved forward, and people continued to do what they had just done, and no one noticed the previous anomaly. A qiē seems to have never changed, if it weren't for the notebook that was thrown out and lying in her arms at this time, Luo Xiaoyan would feel that the previous qiē was just a dream of herself.
