Death is a topic that many people shy away from.

Especially the older I get, the more reluctant I am to talk about this topic. But that doesn't mean death stops.

Xu Xingzhou, who is nearly seventy years old, walked slowly to the balcony with a cane, and chatted with his wife, "I just watched a cold joke, do you want to listen to it?" ”

"What?" Zhou Tingting paused the movie and slowly looked up at Xu Xingzhou.

Xu Xingzhou sat in a wheelchair and said with a smile, "Coke and coffee are two good friends." One day, they were chatting.

Cola asks Coffee, 'Which of the two of us do you think will live longer?' ’

Coffee said leisurely, "I don't know, it depends on whether your usual routine is normal" and chatted, and the coke ran out of gas. ”

Zhou Tingting looked at Xu Xingzhou with an expectant face, and didn't know what expression to put on.

Honestly, she really couldn't get the funny thing about this joke.

Zhou Tingting shook her head, lowered her head and continued to watch her movie, casually muttering, "Later, we have to go to Liangyue's house." If you're okay, go and change your clothes. ”

"Isn't it funny?" Xu Xingzhou didn't wait for the reaction he wanted, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He turned his wheelchair and approached Zhou Tingting, thinking of a funnier joke, "Listen to this." Xiao Ming of the Meteorological Bureau the elephant to death. ”

"......, it's not as funny as the hot-blooded young man who burns the vampire's mouth." Zhou Tingting rolled her eyes at Xu Xingzhou, controlled the handle of the wheelchair, and left the balcony.

Xu Xingzhou was amused by Zhou Tingting's jokes, and laughed non-stop.

Zhou Tingting, who had finished changing her clothes, was about to urge Xu Xingzhou, but she shouted a few times but no one replied. Puzzled, he returned to the balcony and found that Xu Xingzhou was out of breath.

She picked up her mobile phone in a panic, called the emergency number, and went to the hospital with the doctor.

In the operating room, doctors were busy rescuing Xu Xingzhou.

Zhou Tingting dialed Xia Liangyue with palpitations, "Liangyue, something happened to Xingzhou." ”

"Huh? What the? Are you louder? Xia Liangyue turned off the TV with a remote control and asked with a frown.

Hearing the news of Xu Xingzhou's accident, he was stunned and comforted, "Don't panic, I'll go over immediately." After hanging up the phone, I told the news to a few people in the group.

Xu Xingzhou and Zhou Tingting lived in Shen Xubai's original house, which was opposite them.

Originally, the two refused, but as they got older, it became less convenient to walk. Everyone lives closer to each other, and at the same time, it can save a lot of trouble.

Shen Xubai took reading glasses and gently hugged Xia Liangyue's shoulder. When Zhao Yimo came down from upstairs, the three of them went straight to the hospital according to the location sent by Zhou Tingting.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Hospital, Xia Liangyue and the three entered the hospital, and under the guidance of the nurse, they went to ward 06 on the fourth floor.

Xia Liangyue saw Zhao Yimo stop, and held Shen Xubai's hand tightly. When I walked into the ward, I saw that the person on the bed was covered with a white cloth, and Zhou Tingting on the side was sitting there in a daze.

Her intuition told her that Xu Xingzhou might have ......

Zhang Xinyu came late, and as soon as he entered the ward, he felt that something was wrong. She pressed the apprehension in her heart, swept the expressions of several people, raised her hand to lift the white cloth, saw Xu Xingzhou's face, and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Tingting, he ...... the boat" Zhang Xinyu said halfway, gently hugged Zhou Tingting in his arms, and kissed Zhou Tingting's forehead in a complicated mood.

She thought that death was far away from her. Seeing Xu Xingzhou on the hospital bed, he couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Life is short, and it is good to have fun in time. Who knows what will happen in the next second.

Zhao Yimo bypassed Zhang Xinyu and stood in front of the hospital bed, his eyes falling on Xu Xingzhou's corpse. I didn't believe that a person just went like this, frowned and said, "We're really old." ”

Shen Xubai patted Zhao Yimo's shoulder and glanced at Xu Xingzhou covered with a white cloth on the hospital bed.

There are only two ways to die in this world, suicide and natural death. There will be no other surprises.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Tingting, who was slightly sluggish, and said with relief, "Those who leave early are not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"......, why do your comforting words sound so strange?" Zhang Xinyu turned his head to look at Shen Xubai and complained.

That's right, but I always feel that something is wrong.

For her, death was a terrible thing. Even more terrifying than death was that she was the last of the six to leave.

If possible, Zhang Xinyu wants to die in the third or fourth.

No matter how old they are, dying in front of any of them will be inexplicably reassuring.

Zhou Tingting's expression was still a little wooden. As if he couldn't believe it, Xu Xingzhou just left.

She held Xia Liangyue's hand lightly, and said weakly, "I thought it would be a long, long time before I would face this situation." ”

"Oh, poor little one." Xia Liangyue stepped forward and gently hugged Zhou Tingting. Then Zhao Yimo and Shen Xubai joined the hugging army.

After the nurse and several others said goodbye to Xu Xingzhou, they prepared to send the body to the morgue and go through the formalities for the preservation of the body.

The five of them left the hospital one after another and returned to the Moriwa Mansion. Sitting around the dining table.

Even after leaving the hospital, the grief of death is still with us.

The babysitter brought the meals one by one, as if they had been planned.

Xia Liangyue picked up the spoon, dug out a spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth, "Xingzhou said before that he hoped to make the funeral a camera exhibition. ”

"Oh, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about it." Zhang Xinyu thought of when Su Mo died, and they talked about the afterlife.

I remember that at that time, Xu Xingzhou squinted his eyes and was very serious, "I'm relatively simple." Open a camera exhibit in front of my coffin. ”

At that time, Xia Liangyue was still begging, hoping that she was not the last person to pass away.

Zhao Yimo shook his head, and said helplessly, "Everyone asked not to be too strange, don't leave too much burden on those who leave late." ”

Zhou Tingting, who gradually came back to her senses, reiterated her will, "I still think before." If I'm not the last person, remember to put it at my funeral. ”

"......" Shen Xubai almost forgot about this special request.

He took a sip of water and changed the subject, "Why is Xingzhou suddenly ...... Did you fall, or what? ”

Zhou Tingting tried hard to recall what happened before Xu Xingzhou's death, and said seriously, "He has always told me bad jokes." But none of them were funny, and I talked about one later. He laughed until he couldn't do it, and then that's what you see. ”

"You mean, he died laughing?" Zhang Xinyu was surprised. This way of death, with an inexplicable sense of joy.

Xia Liangyue put down the spoon and said curiously, "I want to know what kind of jokes can make people laugh to death." ”

Zhao Yimo and Shen Xubai put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhou Tingting together, greatly interested in the jokes Xu Xingzhou heard before he died.

Zhou Tingting thought of that joke, pouted and said, "It's the one I heard a long time ago, and it's not so funny when I think about it." The joke is that a hot-blooded young man is so hot that the vampire's mouth is full of bubbles. ”
