Chapter 83
The moment Nuan Nuan saw Xia Jingchong falling, her eyes were dark, her body shook, if it wasn't for Yang Yang next to her who helped her in time, she would have fallen.
"Sister, you're fine, right?" Yang Yang's face was pale, but he still asked with concern.
Nuan Nuan raised her hand to cover her heart, took a few quick breaths, and after taking a breath, she didn't bother to answer Yangyang's words, and staggered towards Xia Jingchong, who was lying on the ground.
"Daddy." She knelt beside Xia Jingchong, shaking Xia Jingchong's arm with trembling hands, and after getting no response, her eyes instantly turned red.
Su Qian, who had just arrived, also ran over and shouted anxiously: "Reverence, reverence......"
Yang Yang, who has always been very lively, did not rush over like Nuan Nuan at the moment, he took one step at a time, as if he had a heavy load on his back, and every step was very heavy.
Nuan Nuan bit her lip and stretched out her hand to probe Xia Jingchong's nose, her hand was trembling all the time, although she had already known the result, but when she really detected that Xia Jingchong was not breathing, the long-suppressed emotions in her heart suddenly collapsed, and tears burst instantly.
With a sound of "tom", Yang Yang knelt down next to Nuan Nuan, lay on Xia Jingchong's body, and shouted in a whimper: "Abba......"
Su Qian looked at Xia Jingchong, who seemed to be just asleep with the corners of her mouth curled, stunned, and didn't know how to react at all, the person who was still good before suddenly fell to the ground, if Nuan Nuan hadn't called her last night, wouldn't she even be able to see the last side?
"Xia, go all the way!" Elle, who also came with her, raised her hand and drew a cross on her chest, sincerely blessing.
There were three other people who came over, one was Carret, the other was Ouyang Yiyu, and the person who walked behind was Qiu Yinjiu.
It's just that Nuan Nuan didn't have the heart to care about anything else at this time, she put one hand on Yang Yang's back and patted it to comfort Yang Yang, but she was crying silently, and her throat and eyes were so choked that she didn't cry. In the past few days since she returned to her hometown, her nerves have been tense every minute and every second. I always feel that Xia Jingchong will leave here, otherwise he will not return to his hometown during the time when it was originally chemotherapy.
Falling leaves return to the roots, this place is what Xia Jingchong is most concerned about.
She thought that she had already prepared, starting from knowing that Xia Jingchong was already in the terminal stage of cancer, but when Xia Jingchong was really gone, her heart was still in pain, even more sad than when she was young, at that time she was still young and could not fully understand what "death" meant, and at that time she did not see the process of Xia Jingchong's death with her own eyes. I still don't believe it. And now, the loss after the loss is the most painful.
"Dad," Nuan Nuan looked at Xia Jingchong through crystal tears, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "You can go with confidence, we will all be fine." β
Nuan Nuan's tearful smile made several people around her feel very sad, and Ouyang Yiyu, who was standing beside Su Qian and holding her, was no longer jealous of Nuan Nuan and called Xia Jingchong "Dad". Xia Jingchong died quietly like this, he didn't give them any hint before, and silently watched him and Su Qian go home after their wedding and wait for death quietly. But Fan Xia was a little selfish, and told Su Qian about his illness in advance, and according to Su Qian's character, he would definitely not marry him. At least not before Xia Jingchong died, and even took all the time to spend the last time with Xia Jingchong, but Xia Jingchong chose to make her happy.
Qiu Yinjiu, who was standing one meter away, looked at Nuan Nuan's face, and his eyes were rolling with dark and uncertain emotions. In fact, since he returned home last year, some of his missing memories have slowly come back, those two years of hellish survival life in the wild, and the whole process of knowing Nuan Nuan. He remembered it all, only this time he was no longer as impulsive as before, and he was not qualified to be impulsive. Many times in the dead of night, he was thinking about what he knew about someone who could pay for his countless lives that escaped from the sickle of death in less than a month, and he couldn't let go of this relationship for what he wanted, and he didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, but the more he recalled, the more he missed, but in order to be "qualified" to do what he wanted to do, he had to restrain all his impulses, endure patience and patience.
This time he followed Carrett to visit his partner Xia Jingchong only in name, and what he really wanted to see was her.
It's just that he didn't expect him to come, Xia Jingchong died, seeing her sad appearance, he felt quite complicated in his heart, mixed with a trace of pity, speaking of which he had never seen her crying so sadly, once he thought that if he died in the car accident on the ring road, would the one he liked be sad for him. It's a pity that by mistake, he actually had a bloody amnesia, and pushed her away with his own hands, before that he could feel the change in her attitude, if he didn't have a damn amnesia, everything would have changed.
"Sister-"
"Nuan Nuanβ"
Several shouts rang out at the same time, and it turned out that Nuan Nuan suddenly fainted.
In the past few days, Nuan Nuan has not had a good rest, the nerves in her brain have been tense, even if it is the time to sleep at night, she does not dare to really fall asleep, for fear that it will be too late to see Xia Jingchong's most rear, when the tense nerves relaxed, all the tiredness came in one fell swoop, and her consciousness was dispersed at once.
"Abba used to tell me that his funeral should not be noisy and complicated, just bury his wooden coffin in the ancestral grave." The voice of Yang Yang was faintly heard.
Nuan Nuan's eyelashes fanned, and she slowly opened them, and she saw her renovated room, the door was not closed, and the voice of the main room could be faintly heard in the room. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sat up, shook her head slightly, put on her shoes and walked out of the wall against the wall.
"How can it be, such a simple burial is disrespectful to the ancestors, there is no such precedent in our village, even the poorest family will do a good funeral, so that the deceased can rest in peace." The voice was a little unfamiliar.
"Village Chief, respect yourself and don't want to make noise, you see ......"
"No, at least you have to keep the spirit for one night, you can't bury it directly in the ancestral grave like this."
Nuan Nuan walked into the main house and said, "Yang Yang and I will come to wake the spirit tonight, and find an auspicious time to bury tomorrow." β
"Nuan Nuan, why did you get up?" Seeing Nuan Nuan come out, Su Qian said with a frown.
"Nuan girl, I heard that you fainted, how is it, there is nothing wrong with your body, right?" The old village chief asked gently.
Everyone else also looked at Nuan Nuan, in this family, she has a pivotal position, and everyone cares about her physical health.
"I have nothing to do, village chief grandfather, I want you to ask a few uncles to carry the coffin tomorrow." Nuan Nuan said to the village chief.
"Okay, warm girl, you better rest, don't exhaust your body." Seeing Nuan Nuan's haggard face, the village chief told him with concern.
Nuan Nuan nodded in response, but she was ready for the wake, and she could rest at any time, but not tonight.
The village chief explained the details of the vigil and left.
"Nuan Nuan, let's eat something first!" Ouyang Yiyu said.
Nuan Nuan shook her head, she walked straight to Xia Jingchong's wooden coffin, stood beside Yangyang, and looked at Xia Jingchong lying in the coffin together, her mood was no longer as painful as before, wooden, as if numb.
When the others didn't know what to do, a person moved, and he walked over directly, grabbed Nuan Nuan's wrist, and pulled her to the side room without saying anything.
Nuan Nuan was dragged away, stunned for a moment, and after coming back to her senses and seeing the person who pulled her into the side room, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise: "Qiu Yinjiu, why are you here?" β
"I came with Carrett, and I originally wanted to ask Mr. Xia for advice, but I didn't expect him to be gone." Qiu Yinjiu's tone was not good, as if he was stating things.
"What are you pulling me here for?" Nuan Nuan shook off Qiu Yinjiu's hand, she was not in the mood to deal with Qiu Yinjiu at this time, and she was not interested in what the "cooperation" in his mouth was.
Qiu Yinjiu's face sank, put his hands on Nuan Nuan's shoulders, pressed her to the seat and sat down, and said in a cold tone: "Eat!" β
It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's been a few hours since the morning, and Nuan Nuan has missed lunch, and dinner time is after six o'clock, and there are still more than two hours before dinner.
"Eat something warm, don't joke with your body, and don't forget what you said in front of reverence." Su Qian, who walked in, said in a serious tone.
Nuan Nuan closed her eyes and compromised. She should eat well, she promised Xia Jingchong that she would live well.
Ellie went to the kitchen to heat up the meal, and after a while the meal was brought to the table.
Under the watchful and supervised eyes of everyone, Nuan Nuan ate a bowl of rice without swallowing.
After eating, Nuan Nuan accompanied Yang Yang to the wooden coffin, quietly, no one spoke.
Except for the sound of walking and some small sounds, the house was quiet, and there was a kind of silence and depression.
I don't know how long it took, a mobile phone ringtone broke the silence, Qiu Yinjiu, who was sitting not far from Nuan Nuan, frowned, took out his mobile phone and walked out of the city to answer the phone. This call was made by Qiu's father, asking Xia Jingchong how the situation was, and hearing that Xia Jingchong was dead, Qiu Zhenqing on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and then did not say anything else about his IQ and asked Qiu Yinjiu to go back early. Qiu Yinjiu responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone.
Now Nuan Nuan is undoubtedly at his most vulnerable, and he doesn't want to miss any more opportunities.
It was late at night, but no one went to sleep, they all stayed in the mourning hall, accompanying the sisters and brothers to keep vigil, only Ouyang Yiyu went out after receiving a phone call.
What no one could have imagined was that when Ouyang Yiyu came back, there was still a person behind him.
Nuan Nuan, who was sitting in a chair with her head down, suddenly felt a hand touch on the back of her neck, she was refreshed, looked up, and when she saw Ning Suyou, it was undeniable that she was in a much better mood all of a sudden. (To be continued......)
