Chapter 044: Lady Xiang (6)
A man who is as affectionate as the sea will always provoke a woman who is born with maternal love cells, and Jiang Hui lost her heart because of this man she met by chance.
She stood outside the man's wife's hospital room and looked at the woman who was suffering from cancer and had only a little breath left. Perhaps, she used to be beautiful and moving, but now, she can only sink into the hospital bed like a humanoid skeleton. Standing in the corridor, through the door, Jiang Hui could smell the pungent smell of medicine, but the man's nose seemed to be out of order, he gently stroked his wife's hair from time to time, told her stories and jokes with a smile, and carefully fed her all kinds of things.
Although he had just cried outside just now, he was still good-tempered and gentle in the face of his wife. There was light on his face, and his eyes were full of patience and tenderness. Her wife, however, did not seem to see this, and she lost her temper with what little strength she had left, and vomited out all that he had fed her.
Jiang Hui couldn't see the man's helplessness, only saw that he was full of distress. He must have loved his wife very much.
She stood at the door of the hospital room, waiting for the man to come out. As soon as he stepped through the door, all the sparkle on the man's face was erased, and he was so tired, tired that it was distressing. She asked him, "Do you have any wishes?" ”
The man was stunned and replied, "If I can, I hope my wife can finish this last part of her life without pain." You don't know how much she is afraid of pain. In the past, she would shed tears when she rubbed a little skin on her fingers. I promised her that as long as she would marry me, I promised not to let her suffer the slightest more injury. But I didn't use it, I couldn't convince her cancer cells, and I couldn't subdue them, I watched her take injections and pills every day, but she was still in great pain, and I felt very uncomfortable. She begged me to give up on her, begged me to let her go like that, she really couldn't stand it, but how could I give it up, she was the person I loved the most. What should I do if she's gone? What should I do? I know I'm selfish, but I really can't bear it. ”
The man leaned against the wall, his eyes were frighteningly red, but the tears did not fall.
Jiang Hui took a deep breath, looked at the man's red eyes and said, "If there is something in this world that can make your wife forget the pain for a while and finish the last journey of this life easily and happily, but at the cost of making you pay for your taste, are you willing?" ”
"Taste?" The man smiled: "Don't talk about the taste, it's my life, it's okay." ”
"You think clearly, life is not a TV series, and your life is not just for you. In addition to the people you love, there are people in this world who love you. Your wife is sick and you are heartbroken, have you ever wondered what will happen to your parents and family if you die? ”
The man looked at Jiang Hui and didn't answer.
"Furthermore, when I say taste, I don't mean simply losing the sense of taste. You think about it, and if you want, you can come to this place and come to me. ”
Jiang Hui handed the man a business card, a black transparent business card. It has Jiang Hui's name on it and a simple address.
"Is there really such a thing in this world?" The man shouted loudly to Jiang Hui, who was about to leave: "Don't lie to me, because before you, I have met too many liars." Each of them said that they had a special medicine and a secret recipe in their hands, but it didn't work, it didn't work. I went bankrupt, not only did not relieve my wife's pain, but because of my mistakes again and again, her condition spread more and more. ”
"I didn't lie to you."
"Okay, I'll swap, but if you lie to me, I'll kill you."
"This is not a trivial matter, and I suggest you seriously consider it."
"Don't think about it, there's nothing in this world more important than my wife. Besides, you just want my taste, not my life. ”
"I used to ......" Jiang Hui looked into the man's eyes: "I thought so too." ”
"Oh?" The man looked at Jiang Hui puzzled, Jiang Hui smiled and pointed outside: "Are you interested in listening to me tell a story?" Maybe after listening to my story, you won't want to sell your taste. In this world, there is nothing that can be obtained for no reason. You get a little bit, but it may come at an even more terrible price. ”
The man hesitated, but still followed Jiang Hui out. In his opinion, this is a hospital, and Jiang Hui is just a beautiful single woman. Even if she had other purposes, he was already exhausted, and there was nothing worth deceiving her.
Jiang Hui finished telling her story very calmly, and then took out a bottle of Mrs. Xiang and handed it to the man: "This is Mrs. Xiang, just one drop can relieve your wife's pain, and even let her go to the sun like a normal girl and enjoy the splendor of life." Of course, this normality is superficial, and the countdown to her life will continue, but at least she doesn't have to lie in bed anymore, and she doesn't have to endure those grinding pains anymore. ”
"If what you say is true, then whose smell is in this bottle of perfume?"
"You're lucky, it's a college student, she's only eighteen years old, she's young, beautiful, and full of energy. Only this kind of taste can relieve your wife's pain. ”
"What did that college student sell his taste for?"
"Luxury." Jiang Hui shook the perfume bottle in her hand: "Although she is very beautiful, her family background is ordinary, her parents are ordinary people, and she takes care of the family's life by selling breakfast." Before she was admitted to college, she was a sensible, hardworking, and considerate girl, but after entering college, her eyes were dazzled and her heart was messed up. She watched those girls who were not as good as herself and who were not as good as herself in learning to enjoy the so-called exquisite life, she couldn't keep her original intention at all, and became vain and utilitarian. She traded herself for a so-called good life, and found that nine out of ten men were lying to themselves. Later, she figured it out and decided to turn over on her own, but this figure was not to study hard and work hard, but to trade with me. She exchanged her taste for a brand-name bag worth more than 200,000 yuan. ”
"She'll regret it."
"You're right, she'll regret it. Each of us can only earn as much money as we know, and we can only spend what we can afford to consume. Just like this girl, the bag she sacrificed all her money in exchange for was nothing more than a breakfast for a real rich man. No matter how famous the bag is, it has an expiration date, in other words, it has a popular period, and after this time, it will become worthless. She sells her own taste, and thinks it doesn't matter, but soon, she will find that she has nothing but the designer bag that she bought in exchange for taste. Jiang Hui stared at the man's face: "Now, do you still want to sell your own taste?" ”
"Give me a day." The man clasped his hands, and then slowly let go: "I'm not repenting, and I don't need any time to think, I just want to spend time with my parents." If things are really like you said, after I lose my taste, my family around me will not see me and feel me, then this day is the only time I can spend with them. ”
"Okay, I'll give you a day." Jiang Hui got up and walked towards the gate of the hospital.
The man looked up at her slender background until her back disappeared, then he looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Did the man end up selling his taste?" Xing Ruyi listened very carefully, and she has always been an excellent listener.
"Hmm!" Jiang Hui looked at the bottle of perfume on the ground: "What is in that bottle is his smell." ”
"His?"
"It's his. I waited for him for a day, and it was probably the most tangled day of my life. I want him to come to me to sell the taste, but I don't want him to come. I waited from early morning to dusk, and just as I was about to go to find my next target, he appeared. I took his smell and gave him the incense in my hand, and he rushed back to the hospital and dripped the incense on his wife's body. ”
"Is his wife alright?"
"It's not that it's better, but it's not painful." Jiang Hui held her chin: "I can't tell what the principle is, but when I woke up the next day, her wife really didn't feel any pain, and even the doctors in the hospital suspected that his infatuation moved the heavens and made a miracle happen." It's just me, only I know, it's just a flashback. In the following days, they seemed to go back to the time before his wife's illness, and they were tired of being together every day, even sweeter than when they were in love. But the sweeter it was, the more reluctant he became, and his wife finally began to leave. ”
Jiang Hui tilted her head: "That morning, before the sun climbed out of the horizon, I heard a knock on the door. I walked over and opened the door and saw him standing outside the door. Like an angry lion, he grabbed me by the neck and asked me where I had gotten his wife. I calmly told him that his wife was dead. Mrs. Xiang can only relieve the pain, but she can't help him save his wife's life, this is a reality, and he has to face it.
He rebuked me for lying, saying that I had hidden his wife. I told him that anyone who uses Lady Xiang will have their bodies turned into bones and water after death, and their souls will be scattered, and there will be no possibility of reincarnation. This is the price, the price that all those who use Lady Xiang must pay. ”
"You didn't tell him that."
"What's the point of saying it or not? Most of the people who can find me and make deals with me don't care about what happens after death. I thought he didn't care, but it turned out he did. He forced me to help him find his wife, and I agreed, but my promise was only delayed, I thought that time would make him forget everything, and I even thought that he would fall in love with me as much as he loved his wife. ”
"And yet he didn't!"
"Yes, he was very angry when he learned the truth, and then I became what I am now." Jiang Hui stood up and gracefully turned around in front of Xing Ruyi: "He was angry that I deceived him, but he didn't know that I had made a deal with my master, that is, that strange man in private, and I was willing to dedicate my soul after death to him, just asking him to let the man's wife come back, even if it was only a corpse." ”
