XXVIII. Wounded City

When night fell, a bright moon slowly rose, and the silver light was dotted, swaying on the land of Qianzhong.

Anseong, the western suburbs, on one side of the Ping Lake.

It is like a mirror, hazy and ethereal under the reflection of the moonlight.

On the shore of the lake, there is an old willow tree, also dressed in silver, and its branches dance with the wind, like a woman with long flowing hair, waiting for her husband who is far away.

The night in Anseong is cold and misty.

Halfway up the mountain, in a room, there was a pair of eyelashes trembling gently, and Chen Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

But at this moment, a ray of moonlight, through the window, swayed on her beautiful and flawless face, and those eyes, as if containing half of the billions of stars, shone brightly, and the whole room, suddenly, lit up.

"Is it dark?" Chen Xi muttered in a low voice.

She felt a little cold.

It was July, and I didn't expect the temperature difference in Anseong to be so large.

She got up, walked to the window, and with a swipe, pulled the curtain open.

On that side of the flat lake, you can see it all.

Chen Xi was stunned.

She'd never seen anything like it before.

So beautiful.

The lake, just surrounded by mountains, wrapped in a little light, it is no longer the hustle and bustle of the day, extraordinarily calm, quiet like a virgin, like a peerless woman, lonely and self-appreciative.

Here, it is like a fairyland on earth, but it is a little sad and a little cold.

Really, the contrast between day and night is too great.

She still remembers that during the day, on the lakeside, it was bustling.

When I woke up, it was like a world away.

"Wake up!" At this moment, a cold voice came into Chen Xi's ears.

Xu Qing stood at the door, looking at Chen Xi's back.

"Teacher, I overslept!" Chen Xi's face was flushed, and he was shy.

"The first time you went out of the house, you must have stayed up all night on the train without sleeping, too sleepy!" Xu Qing shook his head, "You've finished the meal, there are new toothbrushes and towels in the room, you wash up, eat by yourself, I'll go out!" ”

"Teacher, where are you going?" Chen Xi was taken aback.

"Go to the hospital!" Xu Qing sighed lightly and turned away.

"Hospital?" Chen Xi was startled and stepped forward to catch up, "Teacher, I'll go with you!" ”

……

The two went down the mountain, and there was a taxi, which was already parked on the shore of the lake, and had been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher, what's wrong? What happened? Chen Xi asked.

"Xiaofang's matter ......" Xu Qing said bitterly in a depressed mood.

"Her talent is no less than yours! It's a pity! ”

The two got into the car, and there was a roar, and the taxi headed for the city.

On the shore of the lake, it is deserted, leaving only a place of smoke and dust, which disperses with the wind.

……

Ancheng, the eastern district, also has a pool of lake water, and the west water lake reflects each other, like two pearls, inlaid in the land of Guizhou.

This is the most famous Hongsan Lake in Anseong.

Unlike Xishui Lake, it is deserted, but it is very lively.

The weather in Anseong is exceptionally cool, at this moment, on the lakeside, there are many people, some people are walking, some people are walking their dogs, and on the artificial island in the lake, there is a couple, hugging and kissing, extremely public.

On the east side of Hongshan Lake, there is a group of buildings, which is magnificent and brilliantly lit.

It stands on the edge of the lake, out of place with the surrounding lush greenery.

From a distance, among them, in the tallest building, there is a line of big red characters: Anseong First People's Hospital!

There was a taxi that came at a fast speed and stopped in front of the hospital.

From it, two shadows came out, slender and slender, and went straight to the inpatient department.

Xu Qing came, accompanied by Chen Xi, and came in a hurry.

At this moment, her face was full of sadness.

"Teacher, it's okay!" Chen Xi said.

"Hmm!" Xu Qing nodded, sad in his heart.

Chen Xiaofang, there are no relatives anymore!

Chen Xiaofang is her best friend, and the relationship between the two is very good.

They met at a piano shop, and they have been talking about it for more than three years.

Xu Qing still remembers that the piano shop, called Tianyi, is the most famous in Ancheng.

And Chen Xiaofang is the owner of the piano shop.

They are very close to each other, and when they meet for the first time, they regard each other as bosom friends.

In the end, Xu Qing learned that Xiaofang had also studied in a middle school, and with her talent and beauty, she became a sensation.

I never thought that in the first two years of college, I met a man and got married in a hurry, and after only one year, they parted ways.

After that, she ran a piano shop on her own.

Xiaofang is not a music major, but she has a great talent for music and has a deep sense of music.

Speaking of which, Xu Qing and her are also teachers and friends.

Xu Qing taught her a lot of things, and especially introduced a lot of Western music concepts to her, such as Scottish folk songs, such as American country music.

And these concepts, the two of them, taught Chen Xi and the arrogant boy who went away in the Northeast.

If Chen Xi knew all this, he would definitely be surprised.

Years later, she met the teenager and pulled her back from the ghost gate.

And they have the same favorite song, that classic ballad, Ride-on, is a Scottish ballad.

In silence, Xu Qing, accompanied by Chen Xi, came to the sixth floor of the inpatient department.

At the door of a ward, there was a man, in his early thirties, polite and polite, but gloomy, sitting on a chair, dejected.

When he saw Xu Qing coming, he immediately got up.

"Teacher, who is he?" Chen Xi asked.

"Who else!" Xu Qing smiled bitterly, "Xiaofang's ex-husband!" ”

"How's Xiaofang?" Coming to the door of the ward, Xu Qing asked.

"Ahh Before the man could answer, a heart-rending scream came from the ward.

Xu Qing heard the sound and felt a pain in his heart.

Isn't this Xiao Fang's voice?

What kind of pain is she suffering at this moment?

"Teacher......" Chen Xi couldn't help but grab Xu Qing's hand.

The man, by this time, had already crouched down, tugging at his hair, trembling.

"She's ...... chemotherapy," the man said bitterly, "and this morning, after she dropped the teenager away, she came home drinking all the time...... The cancer has spread again, and she doesn't have a few days left......"

"Why, why did God torture her so much......" the man murmured, weeping bitterly.

Xu Qing's face turned extremely pale in an instant.

The screams of pain kept coming, endlessly, like a stormy wave, impacting her heart.

"Xiaofang......" Xu Qing staggered a few steps and sat down on the chair.

The chairs were icy, cold, and dim in the dimly lit hallway.

Chen Xi's heart, at this moment, also sank to the bottom.

She listened to the screams and spent time in torment.

The three of them, no one spoke, and for a moment, the entire corridor was depressed and suffocated.

Time passed slowly, very long, as if a century had passed.

Xu Qing grabbed Chen Xi's hand and sweated.

Until, in the ward, no more sound came.

For a long time, a long time, the door opened.

Two doctors, coming out of it.

"You can go and see her, remember, don't let her sneak out, don't let her drink anymore, if this continues, we won't be able to go back!"

A doctor said, brushing his sleeves away.

Chen Xi's heart trembled, and she saw that the doctor's eyes were indifferent.

She gritted her teeth, filled with grief and anger.

These two doctors, completely, thought that the man in the ward was dead!

Is this still the angel in white in her image? Chen Xi asked himself.

But at this moment, Xu Qing and the man had already pushed open the door and rushed into the room.

Chen Xi followed behind.

At first glance, Chen Xi saw a peerless beauty, sitting on a hospital bed.

She is elegant and generous, and at this moment, she is smiling, holding a knife, peeling an apple for herself.

This is an intellectual woman, with all kinds of charms and charms in her every move.

Although, at this moment, her hair was a little messy, her face was a little pale, and even her hands were still a little trembling.

However, her elegance is innate, and her illness cannot hide her peerless beauty.

"Xiaofang, ...... are you" Xu Qing sat on the edge of the bed and asked anxiously.

"I'm thirsty!" Chen Xiaofang smiled.

"I'm coming!" Xu Qing's heart ached.

Seeing Xiao Fang's smile, Xu Qing could imagine what kind of pain Xiao Fang was experiencing just now.

"I'm not dead! You can still move! Chen Xiaofang shook her head and peeled the apple by herself.

The man, standing aside, did not say a word.

After a while, the apple was peeled, and Xiaofang took a bite.

"It's so sweet!" Chen Xiaofang said with a smile, and then, with a turn of her phoenix eyes, she saw Chen Xi standing at the door.

"Yikes! Xi girl, you're here! Chen Xiaofang put down the apple and beckoned to Chen Xi, "Come here, let me take a good look at you!" ”

"Sister Xiaofang!" With a sour nose, Chen Xi stepped forward.

"It's beautiful!" Chen Xiaofang took Chen Xi's hand and chuckled, "It's the same as when I was in middle school, I'm a beauty, giggle!" Today, I have something to do, and I didn't have time to entertain you, so you won't blame me! ”

"No blame, no blame!" Chen Xi wanted to cry.

This woman was the second time she had seen her, but she was very close to her.

This feeling is indescribable, and the way is unclear.

But seeing her, Chen Xi seemed to see herself.

Chen Xi can feel her pain with her.

Chen Xi could feel the loneliness and sadness hidden under her smile.

"Xiaofang, you're drinking again......" Xu Qing sighed.

"Sister Qing won't think I'm giving up on myself!" Chen Xiaofang glanced at the man who was silent, "I just want to drink, that's all!" Nothing to do with anything else! ”

"However, your condition ......" Xu Qing stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Xiaoxi, I heard that your home is in Daliang Mountain, right?"

Chen Xiaofang didn't answer Xu Qing, turned her head and looked at Chen Xi, "Sister Qing has always said that she has a student, who is talented and intelligent, and is a proud girl of heaven, I finally met it today!" ”

"It's my honor to meet my sister!" Chen Xi said, "I hope my sister will get better soon, Xiaoxi still wants you to teach me!" ”

"You already have the best teacher by your side!"

Glancing at Xu Qing, Chen Xiaofang said, "Girl, I hope you are well, healthy and happy!" ”

"I will!" Chen Xi nodded lightly, "Sister should be good too!" ”

"Good!" Chen Xiaofang smiled slightly, supported her body, but prepared to get out of bed.

"Xiaofang, what are you doing?" The man hurriedly stepped forward and was about to help Xiao Fang, but she pushed him away.

"Get out!" Chen Xiaofang's voice was low, but powerful.

"You're following me again, aren't you?" Chen Xiaofang said in a low voice, "At the train station, I saw you!" ”

"I ...... I'm just worried about you! The man said in a trembling voice.

"You see, I have a man!" Chen Xiaofang said, "Last night, he was with me, understand? I slept with him! ”

The man's figure froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"Why are you doing this?" Xu Qing stepped forward and wanted to help Xiaofang, but he was still pushed away.

"Don't be bitter, that person, you've been thinking about me! Even if I die, he will always remember me, what is my suffering? Chen Xiaofang said, "Sister, I want to go home!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Qing was shocked.

She just had chemotherapy and was going home?

"This hellish place, I don't want to stay any longer, I want to go home!" Chen Xiaofang's tone was firm, "I will never do any treatment again, I want to go home and wait for his call!" ”

Chen Xiaofang said, staggering, and walked towards the door.

"Xiaofang, you!" Xu Qing shouted.

"He'll be in Beijing soon, I'm afraid he'll call, and I'll be worried if he can't find it!" At the door, Chen Xiaofang turned around, "I love him, not this man!" Although he is young, he stands up to the sky, such a person is worthy of being my man, I have no regrets! ”

"But, the doctor said......"

"The doctor said? Hehe! ”

Chen Xiaofang sneered, "They eat people and don't spit out bones, they take my money and drink my blood, understand?" They can't cure me at all, so instead of being tortured by them like this, it's better to go home, live the rest of my life in peace! I don't want to die here! ”

"Don't look for me again, I won't see anyone but that person!"

Chen Xiaofang's voice came, but her figure had already disappeared into the dark corridor.
