Chapter 76: Eight Years Ago
Xu Xinyi had a nightmare and dreamed that He Xiao was dead.
She lay on the edge of the cliff, dragging He Xiao's arm, and below him was a bottomless abyss.
Her tears kept flowing, like a dying fish, making a final struggle, trying to drag He Xiao up, but she couldn't pull it.
Her anxious cries for help, hoarse cries echoing through the valley.
It was as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world.
Despair and helplessness weighed heavily on her like a mountain, pressing her out of breath, except to cry or cry.
The strength was lost little by little, He Xiao's arm slipped a little bit, Xu Xin stubbornly refused to let go, and even she had to slide off the cliff together.
He Xiao suddenly raised his other arm, broke her hand holding his arm a little bit, then smiled at her, jumped down, and fell to pieces.
The sky is black, the bottom of the cliff is black, and the sky is black.
She cried so much grief that her vision turned black.
"Baby."
"Don't cry, I'm fine."
In the valley, suddenly his voice sounded, like a dream, half hazy and half hazy.
"Bang ——————"
The deafening explosion exploded in his ears, the tinnitus was endless, the sharp and noisy sound stimulated the nerves in the brain, and the chaotic and vague consciousness suddenly woke up, and the body trembled slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.
The entrance is a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant water is tangy.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, everything that had happened quickly passed in front of her, and finally the picture was frozen in the scene of He Xiao falling into the river, her sluggish expression suddenly stiffened, her heart instantly mentioned, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed barefoot.
She was the only one in the room.
Stepping on the floor barefoot, the sound of stepping is particularly crisp, hurried and panicked.
She rushed out of the door, and Sister Wang was making a phone call at the door.
"There was an accident in the heart, she hasn't woken up yet, she's okay, she's fine, it's just that she was too frightened, it is estimated that she will wake up tomorrow, but her uncle is still in a coma....."
Sister Wang was talking, but the door of the ward opened coldly, startling her, turning her head to look, Xu Xinyi rushed out with a panicked face, grabbed her shoulder and asked nervously: "Where is He Xiao, how is he?" ”
She wasn't sure if the sound she heard before she fell unconscious was a hallucination, but the dream just now was too terrible, and she was afraid that He Xiao was really....
"Don't worry, Captain He...."
Before Sister Wang finished speaking, Xu Xinyi was impatient to listen, so impatient that she couldn't calm down at all, and when she let go of Sister Wang, she panicked and looked for it from ward to ward.
She was like a madman, she suddenly and rashly broke into every ward, and she didn't see He Xiao hurriedly running out and continuing to look for the next ward.
Until he ran to the corner, there were several soldiers in olive green military uniforms standing at the door of the VIP ward at the end of the corridor, Xu Xinyi was sure at the moment, He Xiao was in that ward, she ran over quickly, and the soles of her feet hurt when she stepped on the cold ground, but she seemed to be numb, and she didn't feel anything.
"You just woke up, where are you going in a hurry, lie down and rest for a while!"
Cui Suhua's worried voice came from the ward, with a thick nasal voice, obviously just crying.
"I'll go see Xinyi, is she hurt?"
He Xiao's voice was still low, mixed with weakness and exhaustion, and every word he said seemed to penetrate countless wind and frost, heavy and hoarse.
"She's fine, it's you who has something! My life is almost gone! Cui Suhua's voice burst out of crying again, her heart palpitated, she was afraid for a while, and she sniffled: "As soon as I heard about the explosion, I almost didn't scare my soul, son, if something happens to you, what should I do?" ”
"Isn't there nothing wrong! Don't cry all the time, you can cry when you have nothing to do! He Mingqing couldn't help frowning when he looked at Cui Suhua like that, although he was also worried in his heart, but He Mingqing was not as calm as Cui Suhua, he looked at He Xiao, and his expression was even more solemn: "What's going on?" Your information was leaked? ”
"My son has just woken up, don't ask, let him have a good rest!" Cui Suhua glared at He Mingqing dissatisfied.
Where does He Xiao still have the time to listen to the two of them talk now, and his mind is all on Xu Xinyi, worrying about whether she is injured or not, and whether her emotions have stabilized.
The height of the bridge from the water surface is close to 30 meters, and if you fall down at this height, the water surface is equivalent to a concrete floor, and if you don't grasp the posture of falling into the water, you will either have your internal organs ruptured or die directly.
After falling into the water, the impact of the water is like a knife cutting the skin, stabbing every part of the body, and the body is like an arrow off the string, rushing to the deepest part of the river.
He could feel his consciousness drifting away, and he was briefly unconscious in the water for nearly half a minute, the cold and biting water grabbing his nose like an invisible big palm, and the breath in his chest was dying.
When his brain fell into a state of hypoxia, the instinct to survive forced back from his vague consciousness, and he instantly came to his senses, the temperature of the water at the bottom of the river was as low as ice, and even his bones seemed to be frozen, and he was so numb that he couldn't exert himself.
The darkness at the bottom of the river is like a gateway to the abyss of hell, sucking up life.
Just as he struggled to escape the gates of hell, he heard Xu Xinyi's voice.
She was calling him, swallowing her tears and screaming hoarsely.
Through the water waves, as if coming from a distance, her voice was distant and ethereal, hazy, but the heart-rending sadness was too strong to ignore, he heard her crying, crying grief-stricken, that moment lifted every cell in his body, the desire to survive became stronger and stronger, prompting him to go upstream more desperately.
At that time, I had an idea, that is, to swim up quickly, tell her that he was okay, and let her feel at ease.
The distance from the bottom of the river to the surface of the river was about forty meters, and the moment he rushed to the surface of the river, he almost shouted out that sentence with the last breath in his chest, and then climbed onto the bank of the river, and only then did he gasp for breath and be exhausted for the rest of his life.
After being sent to the hospital, fortunately, He Xiao had strong physical fitness and did not have any major injuries, but his skin was slightly strained.
"Hey, your niece is fine, she was frightened, she was sleeping, and when she woke up, she will naturally come to you, you just listen to Auntie, take a good rest."
Chen Yi saw through He Xiao's intentions, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't see if he was hurt, he wanted to find Xu Xinyi as soon as possible, the care and worry in his eyes was so strong that it was beyond the scope of his uncle, and the affection couldn't be suppressed.
Therefore, Chen Yi deliberately bit the three words "your niece", and reminded He Xiao by knocking on the side.
He Xiao has always been good at hiding his emotions, it's not that he doesn't know that he is too obvious, but at this time, he doesn't have the time to care so much.
He ignored Chen Yi's reminder completely.
Lifted the quilt, got up, and then got out of bed neatly, this series of actions, in one go, and there was no weakness, except for some muscle soreness all over his body, he really didn't feel anything at all, I don't know what they have to make a fuss about.
As he stood up, there was a flurry of footsteps at the door.
Then Xu Xinyi's slender body suddenly appeared in his field of vision, her face was not very good, pale and weak, because of running, her breathing was very messy, and her slightly open lips were wheezing rapidly.
The four eyes are facing each other, and there is only each other in their eyes.
He Xiao quickly reacted, quickly looked her up and down, and found that she was not injured, so he let out a long breath.
He was relieved, his tense nerves were finally relieved, and his hard face slowly overflowed with a very shallow smile, and he raised his eyebrows at her, as always.
Xu Xinyi couldn't be as light as him, seeing that he was safe and sound, her heart hanging in the air instantly fell back into her stomach, and then there was overwhelming joy and happiness, but her nose suddenly became sour, and tears quickly filled her entire eye socket.
Then she ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.
The force she crashed in was really great, and He Xiao was knocked back a step or two, and then caught her body.
Her face was buried in his chest, and the pungent smell of disinfectant water on his hospital gown was on his body, but she could feel his hot body temperature, and his powerful heartbeat in her ears, and her heart followed his heartbeat, and began to beat again, and then she felt alive again.
"I thought you were dead." Her voice was soft and glutinous, and she choked up and couldn't stop crying.
Everyone was taken aback by Xu Xinyi's sudden move, although it was just a hug, but the inexplicable ambiguity could not be ignored, and the expressions of He Mingqing and Cui Suhua were a little complicated and confused.
Chen Yi glanced at He Mingqing and Cui Suhua, then gave He Xiao a look, coughed dryly, and said in a natural tone, with some ridicule: "The mind is still as sticky as when I was a child." ”
Xu Xinyi was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Yi's voice, completely unaware that there were other people here.
It's just that when I looked up, after seeing He Mingqing and Cui Suhua, I was even more confused.
She was so excited just now that she didn't notice that there were other people in the room at all, and she could only see He Xiao in her eyes, and she couldn't see anything else.
After realizing how inappropriate her actions just now were, she quickly let go of He Xiao, pretended to be calm, and showed innocent eyes like a child, looking at He Xiao, pitiful: "Uncle, it's really scared me to death." ”
He Xiao's expression did not change much from beginning to end, he was still calm and calm, he looked meaningless, hooked his lips and smiled, patted her little head, and said disapprerovitically: "It's not a big deal, I can't die." ”
Xu Xinyi didn't have the strong psychological endurance of He Xiao, and what happened a few hours ago still lingered in her mind like a nightmare.
I didn't expect this kind of thing that I only saw in movies to happen to her, just thinking about it, she was scared and sent chills down her spine.
He Mingqing's scrutinizing gaze hovered between Xu Xinyi and He Xiao, He Xiao had always hidden deeply, and it was difficult to see something from his eyes, so He Mingqing's eyes were completely locked on Xu Xinyi's face, observing her expression.
But after watching it for a long time, I didn't see the reason, Xu Xinyi's face was slightly pale, and there was only panic in his eyes.
He Mingqing sighed helplessly, what was he thinking just now? The mind is a child, how can he have something to do with He Xiao?
And after being frightened, it is not surprising that when he sees that his uncle is safe and sound, he will inevitably make some unusual moves.
He Mingqing didn't think much about it, he put down his thoughts, regained his kind complexion, and looked at Xu Xinyi: "Xinyi, your face is not very good, go back and rest well, your uncle is hard, don't worry." ”
"Let your grandma accompany you and talk to you, you're fine, and you can go home after a while."
Xu Xinyi understood the meaning of He Mingqing's words, and it was nothing more than to take them away.
also knew that they were going to talk about the explosion, so Xu Xinyi nodded obediently, and subconsciously glanced at He Xiao, and He Xiao's eyes signaled that she was relieved.
Then Xu Xinyi and Cui Suhua walked out of the ward.
As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the ward froze in vain, and it was so depressed that only solemnity remained.
"The car was salvaged, and there was a tracker in the bomb, what the hell was going on? How could you make such a low-level mistake? He Mingqing's expression was serious.
He Xiao has always had a strong observation ability, and his reaction is also quick, it is difficult for outsiders to get close to him, let alone plant a bomb under his nose.
He Xiao's complexion gradually sank, he squinted, his deep black eyes condensed with cold light, his sharp eyes were full of determination, and his deep voice rolled with a thick hatred: "It's Sal, eight years ago, Uncle Xu died at his hands." ”
