At 11 o'clock in the evening on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the mountains returned to calm, and only sporadic lights were still lit in the mountains. Meng Ting didn't expect that on the night she and Gao Wenxiang were on the phone, her other friend Wang Letian was immersed in a huge grief.

When Wang Letian was sleepy-eyed, he heard his father's shouting in a daze. When Wang Letian heard that his father was shouting, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to his parents' house.

The moment he entered the door, Wang Letian was so frightened that his heart seemed to stop beating. My father lay on the edge of the bed, coughing uncontrollably, crying out in pain as he coughed. Wang Letian looked at the blood that his father had just vomited on the ground, and his mother was crying anxiously on the side. Wang Lotian was frightened at that moment, and he didn't know why his father suddenly became so serious.

He hurriedly dialed the ambulance number of the town hospital, told the hospital the address, and told the doctor to be fast.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Letian sweated profusely, his father's coughing voice became louder and louder, and he coughed up blood in his mouth again and again. He hurriedly found a towel and soaked it in hot water, wiped the blood on his lips for his father over and over again, and anxiously told his father to be patient for a while, and the ambulance would arrive in a while.

Because it was a mountain village, it took more than two hours for the ambulance to arrive at Wang Letian's house, and it was already two o'clock in the morning when he arrived.

Ambulances drive through the dark night, on mountain roads with no street lights.

In the ambulance, the paralyzed father's face was pale and bloodless. Looking at the oxygen cylinder and the rapid breathing, Wang Letian and his mother couldn't stop breaking out in an anxious cold sweat. Throughout the journey, Wang Letian always held his father's hand, and at that moment he wished that it was himself lying in the ambulance, and his father was healthy.

The nervousness made his palms sweat, and Wang Letian longed for his father to feel the temperature in his palms, and he must be strong and hold on, the hospital was about to arrive.

When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Wang Letian saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning.

The paramedics hurriedly pushed his father into the emergency room, and Wang Letian and his mother waited anxiously outside the emergency room.

The mother still can't stop crying, for many years, guarding her paralyzed husband and taking care of her two children, she has already let herself grit her teeth and insist, and the family's income for a year is only used to treat diseases and buy medicines, two-thirds of which is consumed, but now the emergency situation is even worse, I really don't know what to do next.

While comforting his desperate mother, Wang Letian nervously prayed silently for his father in his heart, praying for all safety. Tonight's situation made Wang Letian think back, and waves of fear kept coming. Although his father has been paralyzed in a wheelchair for many years, he has no other symptoms, and this reaction is really frightening, and he has never seen his father vomit blood from his mouth.

Time passed by second, as if every second was so long, and the anxious waiting and the hope for peace were really unbearable. When it was unbearable, Wang Letian had to get up and paced back and forth in the hospital corridor to kill the time that made people anxiously wait.

A first aid lasted until dawn in the early hours of the morning, and as the east of the night gradually increased the dawn light of the early morning, but the rescue was still fruitless.

Wang Letian looked at the gradually brighter sky outside the window, he really couldn't hold on at this moment, for more than two hours, he didn't know how to get through. I don't know what happened to the father inside, and I don't know what the final result is. Wang Lotian filtered these doubts over and over again in his mind, and he restrained himself from thinking about the bad place, his father would be safe and sound, and his life would not fall into despair.

At half past six in the morning, the door in the rescue room finally opened, and Wang Lotian breathed a long sigh of relief. I saw a female doctor come out of it with a sad face. Seeing the female doctor's expression, Wang Letian felt a burst of despair in his heart, until that moment, he once again told himself in his heart that the result must be good.

The female doctor stepped forward, took off her mask, and told the news that the patient had died after failing to resuscitate. Hearing the news that his father had left, Wang Letian suddenly roared in his head and almost fell to the ground. When the mother heard this, she let out a desperate cry and fell violently on the bench.

In the face of extreme despair and sadness, a person always subconsciously tells himself that the result is fake, and only after waking up will tears of despair be shed.

The corridor of the hospital was filled with the cries of Wang Letian and his mother, and the entire hospital echoed with the cries of the bereaved relatives in the early morning. Not long after, Wang Letian's father's body was slowly pushed out, covered with a white cloth. Wang Letian rushed forward to look at his father's pale and serene face, he lay on his father's chest and cried, holding his father's lifeless hand.

That day, Wang Letian and his mother sat in the hospital for a morning, they no longer had the strength to walk out of the hospital, and only wanted to quietly accompany their departed relatives here.

Wang Letian sat on the steps of the hospital, thinking about his father. His father was in a wheelchair when he was 12 years old and never got up again. For eight years, my father's daily life was to spend time in a wheelchair, and he had seen the loss in his father's eyes countless times, and he wanted to stand up and shoulder the responsibilities of the family like a normal person, and no longer let his wife and children suffer with him.

Because of his father's illness, the family is always unable to make ends meet, and a family of four is looked down upon when walking in the crowd. Wang Letian has sworn to himself countless times that in the future, he must rely on his own efforts to let his parents live a good life and no longer be discriminated against.

But now, in less than eight hours, life has changed dramatically, and before the day of his success, his father has already left. Wang Letian clenched his fist and hammered his thigh fiercely, why was fate so unfair to him, didn't he suffer enough since he was a child? Has your family experienced less wind and rain? Why does fate always play tricks on these people who are already miserable?

In the afternoon, Wang Lotian helped his weak mother back home, and the moment he walked into the house, he clearly felt a kind of despair. It's hard to imagine that yesterday, my father was still here chatting with him and my brother, and now there is only a trace of my father on the messy quilt.

Knowing that his father was leaving, Wang Letian's younger brother couldn't stop crying, and the crying alarmed all the neighbors. In less than evening, the news of Wang Letian's father's death spread throughout the village.

After Gao Wenxiang learned about it, he hurriedly came to Wang Letian's house, and saw that his friend's eyes were black, there was no vitality, and there were tears on his face, and his expression was in addition to despair or despair.

After Gao Wenxiang saw this scene, he couldn't help crying with Wang Letian. How can the fate of my playmate, who has known and grown up with me since childhood, be so painful, poverty and discrimination are not counted, and now I have let my relatives leave.

Gao Wenxiang didn't go home that day and stayed with Wang Letian. Gao Wenxiang knew that his good friend Wang Letian was now on the verge of grief, like a lonely person standing on the edge of a cliff, with no hope in sight. Having a friend by your side is somewhat comforting, rather than being alone in a dark corner and sad.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year was originally a good day with a strong New Year's flavor, and countless people were busy visiting relatives and friends to feel the beauty of the Spring Festival, but for Wang Letian, it was a sad moment of losing his relatives forever.

Wang Letian's father was buried on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole village seemed to be covered with a sad atmosphere that day. Many people are sympathetic to this poor family, and how can orphans and widows not be pitiful and sad in the future.

After the burial, Gao Wenxiang accompanied Wang Letian in front of the grave until dark. Since entering college, the brothers have not been together for such a long time, but no one expected that this long time together would actually be such a moment.

The day after Wang Letian's father was buried, Gao Wenxiang told Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing.

Hearing the news of Wang Letian's father's departure, Meng Ting was also sad, she had no appetite for dinner that day, and she was silently sad for her honest friend.

Liu Jingjing felt a hatred for herself after hearing it, and she still remembered the scene when Wang Letian confessed to her a few months ago. Rejecting Wang Letian's confession has made him very desperate, but he didn't expect to face the pain of the death of his relatives again. If he were Wang Letian's girlfriend, at least he would not be so sad now, and he could still look forward to the future. Thinking of these, Liu Jingjing felt that she had also invisibly caused some harm to Wang Letian.
