Chapter 204: Terminal Illness
At dawn, it began to rain again, the boundary between heaven and earth on the grassland was blurred into a gray oil painting by the dense rain curtain, a poplar tree in the small courtyard could not withstand the damage of wind and rain and broke in the night, Xiao Luo stood in front of the corridor and saw the dead branches across the road from a distance.
The rain flowed down the smooth concrete floor, turned in front of the dead trees, washed the mud on the side of the road into a thin ravine, and Xiao Luo stepped into the water, and his shoes and trouser legs were mostly wet.
There was a dilapidated pickup truck parked outside the school, the body was covered with mud and dirt, and the white of the original body could only be seen after being washed by the rain.
The owner of the car is a dark and fat middle-aged uncle, a person who does a small business in the nearby market, temporarily called over by Mei Duo's father to help, he is a native of the local, can only speak Tibetan, and can not understand Mandarin, Xiao Luo only smiled at people after getting into the car and started the car.
Xiao Luo was wearing a jacket, he didn't feel cold when he ran in the rain, and the raindrops that remained on his clothes after sitting down fell down the arc of his body to the cuffs and ankles, and the skin of the ice was red.
Her hair was also dripping with water, and there was a hazy rain mist hanging in front of her thick eyelashes, and the driver took out a towel from the car to wipe her with water, and the coolness gradually dissipated after tossing for a while.
It was close to noon before the rain gradually stopped, during which Xiao Luo made several calls to Lu Hanchuan to prompt the shutdown, and the road was slow on rainy days, and it was useless to be anxious.
The driver also had to go to the nearby wholesale market to buy something, put Xiao Luo at the intersection in front of the hospital, and dropped a small worn-out black umbrella before leaving.
Xiao Luo said thank you, ran to the hospital non-stop, entered the hospital hall, looking at the bright lights, she suddenly became a little confused, there were doctors and nurses around hurriedly walking towards the office, she grabbed one casually, and before she could speak, she was glared at by the little nurse, and turned away like a monster.
Fortunately, Yuexi just came back from buying food outside, and took her to the ward by the way, Xiao Luo kept asking about Wen Mei's physical condition on the way, the little girl looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before telling the truth, "I went to ask the doctor last night, and the doctor said that her condition was not very optimistic, but the test results have not yet come out, and it is estimated that it will be soon, and she will be able to get the examination list in the afternoon." ”
Xiao Luo carried the lunch box silently, with no expression on her face, until she pushed open the door and saw Wen Mei with a pale face, her face suddenly flashed with painful emotions.
Wen Mei's eyes were a little swollen, he should have secretly cried last night, but his spirit was not very good today, and he only blinked his eyes excitedly when he saw Xiao Luo coming in when he was half lying on the bed.
Xiao Luo walked over quickly and put the lunch box on the table, turned around and scooped up the palm of Wen Mei, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, and reached out to hold Wen Mei's palm, her hand was too thin, the skin was covered with bones, and the wood could almost feel the outline of the blood vessels.
"Last night, the wind blew down the poplar tree in the school, and I didn't move the one you said had worms." As she spoke, she put down her backpack from her shoulder, turned her head and asked Lu Hanchuan to take out the contents of it, "This is the clothes I found from the cabinet, the weather is too cold, I am afraid that you will freeze, and even mine has been brought over." ”
Wen Mei looked at her and blinked, and when she opened her eyes again, the hole in her eyes was already wet, "I never thought there would be today." ”
Her voice was calm and sad, her eyes stared vacantly at the ceiling of white flowers, and her whole person had no life, like a corpse that had been drained of her soul, looking resentfully at this world that had never been kind.
Xiao Luodeng's eyes were red, his thin palm holding her refused to relax, his lips trembled, and he endured it for a long time before he spit out a complete sentence: "The result hasn't come out yet, maybe it's good?" ”
There was a sudden crisp sound behind him, the principal looked at the chopsticks that fell on the ground sluggishly, his facial muscles shook twice, he bent down and picked up the chopsticks without saying a word, and even forgot to wipe them and stretched them directly to the plate to pick up the vegetables, the white disposable chopsticks turned in the plate for a long time and finally didn't pick up anything, the principal suddenly put down the chopsticks and sighed.
Lu Hanchuan sat silently opposite the principal, looking deeply at the drizzling rain outside the window.
The doctor outside called someone to get the test results, and the principal stood up excitedly and was pressed down by Lu Hanchuan, "I'll go get it, you guys stay here." ”
The knife hanging over her head finally revealed its sharp edge, and Fumime seemed to feel the chill of the blade as it pressed against her skin, and this fear made all the pretense of composure collapse, and she twitched her shoulders and cried silently.
Xiao Luo held her tighter, "It's going to get better, Wen Mei, you have to believe that it's going to get better." ”
Wen Mei didn't speak, her head shook against the hard wall, tears blurred her whole face along the curvature of her cheeks, and her heart was like a world outside the window where there was no sunlight, gray and full of haze.
Everyone in the room became ants on a hot pot, carefully stir-fried by the fire of time, and their hearts were so hot that dense blisters bubbled up, and every breath was a pain in their hearts.
Lu Hanchuan finally came back with the checklist, Yuexi rushed to his side quickly to ask about the results, the man's face sank like clouds piled up in the sky that could cause a storm at any time, he clutched the thin piece of paper in his hand, ignored Yuexi's nervous attitude, and walked to the hospital bed with heavy steps.
Wen Mei had stopped crying and looked at him timidly.
Lu Hanchuan bent down and put the paper on the bedside table, his eyes calmly swept over her lower abdomen, which could be clearly seen through the quilt, and those eyes burned her heart to the ground like a burning flame.
"Why don't you tell us the truth?" Lu Hanchuan's words captured everyone's hearts, and he stared at Wen Mei's pale face like a torch, with a heavy hatred on his face, "Your body has reached this point, why didn't you tell us earlier?" ”
His emotions had collapsed, he grabbed the checklist with his big hand and threw it on the bed, a thin piece of paper swirled and fell on the quilt, and was quickly picked up by Yuexi, Wen Mei looked at his angry eyes and closed his eyes in pain.
Lu Hanchuan obviously couldn't bear it, tilted his head and took a deep breath, and when he turned his head, his face had already regained calm, "In order to carry out follow-up treatment smoothly, the child in your belly must be dealt with, the doctor asked me to ask your opinion, the choice to stay or give up is up to you, but the doctor advised you to stay, the child's month is too big, and the abortion will hurt the mother too much." ”
After saying the whole paragraph, Lu Hanchuan gasped with relief, he took a step back, raised his hands and made a gesture at Wen Mei, "Congratulations, your goal has been achieved." ”
Lu Hanchuan turned around and left the room, and the door that was closed casually shook violently twice, and finally calmed down.
Yuexi pinched this result book with a pale face, and looked at Wen Mei who was lying on the bed crying in disbelief, "Cancer, it's actually cancer, the condition is already so serious, you should be aware of it even if you are a piece of wood, how can anyone abuse their lives so badly!" ”
She put the medical certificate on the table and turned around and ran out of the room.
The headmaster pinched the diagnosis and looked at it again and again, his old hands trembling, and he almost couldn't hold the paper several times, and finally suddenly sat on the ground and cried.
The tears on Xiao Luo's cheeks had dried up, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, lowered her head and tucked the quilt neatly, "Don't blame them for killing you, although doctors are used to seeing life and death, they are also the most unbearable to watch their patients suffer, and when they see you suffer, their hearts are like fried oil." ”
Saying that, she grabbed Wen Mei's arm and cried loudly, "You are really ruthless, for a child who has not yet been born, for a man who doesn't love you, is it worth it to abuse yourself so badly?" ”
Wen Mei cried with her, her body trembling violently, "I have no hope for this world, Xiao Luo, I just want this child to live, he is much better alive than I am." ”
The headmaster listened to her words and got up from the ground, his black eyes looked at her fiercely, the eyes were as fierce as a wolf in the grassland, the old man's lips squirmed, and finally pushed the door out without saying a word.
Xiao Luo didn't speak, only hugged her arm and cried.
She saw herself in Wen Mei, when she knelt in front of her mother's body, she thought about death countless times, but when she turned her head to look at the dim light outside the window, and the yellow leaves left in Lin Xiao, she suddenly lost the courage to die.
Compared with Wen Mei, she is too lucky, in the most desperate and sad time, Yi Zeran sheltered her like a mountain, gave her hope for life, and also gave her the strength to move forward.
Without Yi Zeran, there would be no Lin Xiaoluo today.
She wiped the tears from her cheeks, put her forehead against Wen Mei's thin shoulders and whispered: "I have decided, I will go back when this matter is over, go back to my sweetheart, and accompany him to watch the stars and the moon until the day when the gray hair can no longer wake up." ”
"You also have to be well treated, even if it is for the sun tomorrow, you have to live strongly." Xiao Luo raised his arm to wipe her tears, "Your child will have a godfather and godmother who will love him as soon as he is born, as well as the most knowledgeable grandfather, as a mother, you must set a good example for him, so that he understands that no matter how stormy it is outside, there will be a moment when dawn arrives." ”
"Xiao Luo......" Wen Mei hugged her arm and cried hard, "But I can't hold on, every time I am sick and tormented, I think about the child in my belly gritting his teeth and holding on, the longer I last, the pain will be unbearable, and it has consumed all my energy to last until today." ”
"I know that I was just a Pingshui meeting, and I shouldn't have made any requests to you, but now I've reached the point where I'm at the end of my rope and I can't afford to take care of the children......" Wen Mei grabbed her palm, his nails almost digging into her flesh, "Please send him to a reliable local home, or a nearby welfare home...... It's good to live carefree. ”
"Wenmei, I can understand your feelings, but ......" Xiao Luo looked at her for a moment, "No one can take the place of the biological mother in the child's heart. ”
