Chapter Two Hundred and Nine. The past is gone
Qu Tao was on the bench, crying until he was dumb, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, he raised his head, wiped his face, and supported the chair to stand up, but his legs were weak and he fell down again.
Seeing this, Ren Shaochen immediately helped him up, and after Qu Tao got up and stood firmly, he pulled out his arm and walked out with staggering steps.
Ruoning and Ren Shaochen followed behind him, only to see him go to the front desk of the hospital to ask, and then the little nurse ran to inform Dr. Jiang.
After a while, Dr. Jiang walked over, and Ruo Ning saw that she was fluted first, it turned out to be the doctor she had met before and expressed great interest in her.
"Where's Xiaobao?" Qu Tao asked in a hoarse voice.
When Jiang Chao saw Ruo Ning, he paused, then regained his solemn expression, and said to Qu Tao: "I'll take you to see him." ”
Jiang Chao led Qu Tao and them to the morgue, and he explained in detail to Qu Tao the rescue process and the cause of the illness.
Qu Tao is more rational than Liu Hongzhi, he won't mess with Jiang Chao, listening to his narration, his heart is even more painful, Xiaobao hasn't survived for years.
When he arrived at the door of the morgue, Jiang Chao stopped and registered with the person on duty outside the door, and took the three of them in.
Entering inside, it was extremely cold, the wind was gusting, Ruo Ning felt that the temperature on her body was gradually disappearing, and her hand unconsciously clenched Ren Shaochen's hand.
Jiang Chao glanced at the code, opened one of the morgues, the body was wrapped in a black plastic bag, and he reached out to unzip it.
When Xiaobao's face was half exposed, Qu Tao whimpered and cried again.
Ruo Ning didn't dare to look, turned her head and leaned towards Ren Shaochen, Ren Shaochen covered her head with his big palm, and buried her face in his chest.
Since he had been in the freezer in the morgue for many days, his face was frozen blue and covered with frost.
"Mr. Qu, mourning." Jiang Chao also sighed, regretting that he didn't save the child's life.
Qu Tao looked at Xiaobao's face and couldn't cry anymore.
After staying in the morgue for a while, Jiang Chao led the three of them out and said to Qu Tao: "Follow me to go through the formalities, and you can transfer Xiaobao's body to the funeral home for cremation and burial." ”
Qu Tao was so crying that he couldn't make a sound, nodded in despair, and followed Jiang Chao to go through the formalities.
In the afternoon, Liu Hongzhi woke up and made a fuss in the hospital again, Qu Tao came back after completing the formalities and took her out of the hospital.
Ruo Ning watched them drive away from the hospital, lowered his head and sighed, the world is impermanent, even such a fresh little life, if you say this, it will be gone.
Gu Chendong and Xiao Qianrong happened to come to pick up Lin Weiyang from the hospital at this time, Xiao Qianrong saw that Ruoning was not in the right mood, so she asked worriedly, and after learning about it, she patted Ruoning on the shoulder, and she didn't know what to say to comfort.
Ren Shaochen said goodbye to them and took a step forward with Ruo Ning's shoulder.
Two days later, Qu Jiabao was cremated and buried, the funeral was extremely simple, Qu Tao was exhausted, heartbroken, and no one was notified.
On the same day, in addition to himself, only Ruo Ning and Ren Shaochen came, after Liu Hongzhi was mentally unstable, her health was not as good as before, and she had not accepted Qu Jiabao's death, so she didn't want to come to the funeral at all.
The first snow in S City after the year began to fall at this time, as if God was mourning for this withered little life.
"Go back, I want to stay here for a while." Qu Tao looked at the tombstone and said to Ruo Ning.
"You'll go back early then." Ruo Ning commanded and turned his head to look at Ren Shaochen.
Ren Shaochen held Ruo Ning's hand and led her to turn around and leave the cemetery, so that Qu Tao could be quiet here alone.
When I went down the mountain, I met Shen Rulan who was holding a white flower, just last night, Ruo Ning told Shen Rulan about it, she thought that Shen Rulan would not come to pay tribute, after all, Old Man Shen was angry with Liu Hongzhi and Tang Ling's phone call, but she didn't expect her to come.
"Children are always innocent." Shen Rulan sighed lightly and said to Ruo Ning.
"In the 2nd district, 16 rows." Ruo Ning reported the address of the cemetery to Shen Rulan.
Shen Rulan walked up, Ruo Ning turned around to look at her back, and saw that she had found a position, so she turned around and went down with Ren Shaochen.
When Shen Rulan walked to Qu Jiabao's cemetery, Qu Tao was sitting next to his tombstone, holding the tombstone with his arms and crying silently.
The snowflakes had already accumulated a thin layer on him, Shen Rulan walked over, put the flowers in front of Qu Jiabao's tombstone, looked down at Qu Tao, who was lost and depressed, and comforted him in a low voice: "Festival mourning changes." ”
Qu Tao's eyes moved, raised his head to look at Shen Rulan, and said in a dumb voice: "I am a bad husband and a bad father. ”
It is a mistake not to educate Qingying well, it is another mistake not to take care of Jiabao, it is another mistake to live up to Shen Rulan, and it is a mistake to make Liu Hongzhi what she is now.
"The past is gone." Shen Rulan felt that it was useless to say more comforting words at this time, and these four words were already the most powerful comfort.
"The past is gone, yes, the past is gone." Qu Tao leaned his head against Qu Jiabao, repeated it meaningfully, and muttered to himself: "If I had known that the past was over, maybe I wouldn't have gone to find anyone from before, and maybe Xiaobao wouldn't have had such a thing with me." ”
Shen Rulan heard Qu Tao say this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, I heard Ruo Ning mention it yesterday, Qu Tao went to City B during the Chinese New Year, except for Qingying in City B, he shouldn't know anyone else, so who did he go to City B for?
"Liu Hongzhi came to me at home that day, and at that time he said that Jiabao was sick, I asked Ruoning to call you, you are all turned off, what are you doing in City B, is there an accident with Qingying?" Shen Rulan couldn't help but ask.
Qu Tao lowered his head and slowly narrated in a low voice, he had hidden these words in his heart for a long time, and no one could tell him, so he simply told Shen Rulan today.
After he and Liu Hongzhi quarreled, he went out of the house, and he didn't know when, the mobile phone was stolen by pickpockets, and he didn't want to go back to quarrel with Liu Hongzhi again, so he went back to the old house where he used to live with Ning Ge, which was remote but the environment was very good, and he was reluctant to sell it.
He lived there for a few days, and accidentally found a lot of Ning Ge's previous letters hidden in the bed splints, he remembered that Ning Ge would always hide mysteriously to write letters, but he never wanted to show him, Ning Ge was always mysterious, and it was this mystery that attracted him in the first place.
After opening the letter, he knew that Ning Ge was exchanging letters with his sister, and he patiently read the letter and found a group photo, two little girls snuggled together, and the two faces were the same.
An idea arose in his heart, when he saw Jiang Manni, he felt very similar to Ning Ge, he wanted to go to Jiang Manni to verify this matter, and to end the confusion in his heart for many years, why Ning Ge left Ruo Ning, who was still waiting to be fed, disappeared like this for no reason.
