Chapter 8: Perch Cheng
"Sakura, where's my goods?"
Qiao Jing stroked the little poodle in her arms, and the poodle still had a necklace worth millions around her neck, and she faintly regretted that she had made a low price.
"Sakura-chan."
A weak, hoarse voice sounded at the door of the store.
Sakura saw that her husband, who had not been out for a long time, suddenly came to the store and hurriedly greeted her. "Why are you here, didn't you say you haven't been feeling well lately? How not to have a good rest at home. ”
Chen Yuan glanced at Qiao Jing, his gaze swept away coldly, and put a bottle of stomach medicine on the table.
"Si Tian went home yesterday and said that your old problem of stomach pain has been committed again, you have been staying up late late, sleeping in the store, and eating irregularly, I don't feel at ease to come and see."
"Nothing, just the occasional pain." Sakura took the medicine sent by her husband, and her heart warmed, "I'll take care of it when I'm busy for a while." ”
"Hmm." Chen Yuan didn't say a word before he gasped, and his lips turned pale.
"Wow!" It wasn't until the puppy barked in her arms that Qiao Jing realized that her hand was a little hard, and hurriedly moved to ease and soothe a few times, and her eyes couldn't help but stare at Chen Yuan, "Ye Ying, is this your husband?" ”
"yes."
"Isn't your health good?" Qiao Jing usually didn't care so much about anyone.
Sakura was a little strange, but she still answered truthfully: "Congenital heart disease." ”
"Oh." Qiao Jing nodded, she didn't know why her face was suddenly ugly, and she didn't know what to remember, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left. I forgot to take anything.
Ye Ying wanted to call her to talk to her, but Qiao Jing's phone was turned off. She didn't know what was going on, but for a long time, Qiao Jing was nowhere to be seen.
The rich customers of the beauty shop have long been gone, and the rest of the people do not have high spending power, but fortunately, the incense seal of sea bass can be recycled, so even if Sakura lowers the price and sells it to others, it is not too much of a loss.
Si Tian came to the store from time to time to help, and found that her mother did not give people beauty, but was very keen to sell a kind of incense powder. The incense powder is also sold quickly, and basically those who have bought it will come back and bring others along.
Sakura received the money softly, but Sitian saw it, her face became more and more haggard day by day, "Mom, have you been too tired lately, even if the business is good, you have to pay attention to rest." ”
"What nonsense is this kid talking about?" Sakura has been earning a lot recently, how can sleep badly, even if you are occasionally tired, as long as you light a stick of incense, you can continue to work without distractions.
The only thing is that she has been suffering from stomach aches more and more often lately.
"It's okay, I'll rest when I make a little more money." And in order to speed up the progress, Sakura is more and more oblivious to sleep and eat.
Until one day, Si Tian came to the store and cried, "Dad has been sent to the hospital!" ”
The last time Chen Yuan went out, he suffered from a cold after he went back, and he didn't get better on and off. Seeing that Sakura was busy all day, he didn't dare to tell her, but he didn't expect to cause pneumonia and heart disease, and as a result, he had difficulty breathing and was called 120 by his neighbor.
The operation is urgent, the operation fee has emptied the family's funds, and I have just begun to have some savings in my hands, not only all of them are invested, but I also have to scrape together and borrow money from others.
Standing in the hospital bathroom in the dead of night. Sakura looked at herself in the mirror - it had been a long time since she had taken a good look at the face. is obviously less than forty years old, but his sideburns have turned white, and there are more wrinkles in the subtle corners of his forehead and eyes than Qiao Jing.
Hopes that have just been ignited and then dashed. She propped herself up in front of the sink and retched violently, vomiting a large pool of blood. In my mind, the young man, that meaningful exhortation, came to mind. At the beginning, Tang Du called the pros and cons.
"Ma'am, are you alright? Need help? The little nurse who came in caught a glimpse of a large pool of blood in the sink and looked at Sakura worriedly.
Sakura grabbed the other party's wrist, "Physical examination, I want to do a full body physical examination!" ”
After the delicate examination, the doctor looked at the results of the examination, faced Ye Sakura, and stopped talking several times. But after muttering for a long time, I couldn't think of any other euphemism, so I could only tell you bluntly: "All the functions of your body have deteriorated, and some organs have even reached the level of seventy years old, and they are almost completely out of function. ”
Boom, Sakura's brain went blank.
However, the bad news doesn't stop there.
"You have stomach problems, irregular diet, and long-term stress overload, and now the cancer cells have ......" shook his head, and the doctor could only symbolically comfort him, "Don't be too sad, actively cooperate with the treatment, and you can maintain the most optimistic results." ”
What is the most optimistic outcome?
It's just a life that passes through the fingers with the naked eye.
Sakura sat expressionlessly in the corridor of the hospital, covering her eyes, sad to the extreme, laughing, and tears from her eyes.
Her mobile phone was still ringing in her pocket, and countless people were asking for incense powder. She pulled out her phone and slammed it on the ground. After a moment of silence, I came to Baohai Hall.
Tang Du sat at the door, as if expecting her to come, and there were two cups of tea on the table, and he said, "Sit." ”
Sakura's eyes were hollow, and she was silent for a long time.
It was Tang Du who spoke first: "The perch incense seal, the true source of the power borrowed from the transformation of spices," he calmly looked at Ye Ying's already thin and distorted face, "Actually, you have used it a few times, you should understand." ”
Sakuragi nodded sneerfully, "I understand, it's just that I thought it was still a long time." ”
Tang couldn't help but shake his head, in fact, it was not so much that Sakura was lucky, but he was surprised at how ruthless a person could be when he was eager to take a shortcut.
But she still didn't feel that she was wrong, her fingers trembled, and her eyes were full of indignation, resenting the injustice of fate. "Is it wrong that the person who fell into the water just wanted to grasp a straw?"
"You're not overboard. Heaven has given you a flat boat, but you just don't want to swing the oars yourself, so you desperately look for a big ship. Finally this pirate ship really came, it gave you something, but it took everything you had. ”
Ye Ying sneered, thinking that Tang Du's tone was condescending, and he was unwilling to be accused like this. "A person like you, who is favored by fate, naturally will not understand the taste of a person like me who has been abandoned by God."
The light blue eyes were reflected in the tea soup, and there was no contempt for anyone, and certainly no sympathy.
"Every moment of your life is your own tick, you choose the wrong number of times, but you never think to take it. Did you know that many more people don't even have a choice? ”
"You always think that you are unlucky, in fact, on the contrary, you were so lucky in the first half of your life that you have the illusion that you should be effortless to live, but in fact, you should do your best to survive!"
"Even if you refuse to turn back on the wrong road, all your efforts are laying the groundwork for today's bitter fruit."
Sakura smiled wryly, "What's the use of talking about this now." ”
She left dejected.
Within a few days, there was no news of the suicide of the proprietress of the beauty shop, and it spread all over the city.
Chen Yuan fainted several times when he heard the news, and everyone thought that he would definitely not live long.
The body is already weak, how can it withstand such a heavy change, but pity the child......
The love between husband and wife has come to this point, and everyone doesn't understand why Sakura chose to let go in such a ruthless way in the end.
However, Chen Yuan finally survived.
took care of his wife's funeral intermittently, no matter how difficult it was, he always had to live with his daughter.
There is hope in someone's hand and they turn a blind eye. There is no hope in someone's hands, but there is never despair.
"Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine."
This poem refers to the calmness of people's hearts after going through wind and rain, looking back on that moment.
Shaking off a few wisps of green ash on the incense seal, Tang Du put the topaz incense box back in its place.
With the fire of the soul and the flame of desire, it is made into the coldest and strongest incense in the world. Cut the flesh to cure the sores, drink the donkey to quench the thirst. You always have to remember that the flame will extinguish itself, but it rarely burns on its own.
