Chapter 18: Reunion is heartbreaking
I can't think of anyone who will save me. Shen Jingyun, Helian Cheng?
Actually, I don't really believe in any luck tricks around me.
At the last moment of consciousness, the last blurred picture in front of my eyes was a figure walking down from the car.
The figure was tall but thin, a little rickety.
I don't have such a figure in my memory, so it must be a stranger, right? And also an elderly person.
Hopefully, don't bother an old man, he may just be sympathetic.
That's the last thought in my head. The exhaustion of the overdraft, the tightness of my heart, and the strange smoke from the worm were no longer able to sustain me.
Finally, my eyes went dark and I fell into a coma.
In the darkness, the lack of concept of the passage of time, the deep coma, I was completely unable to perceive what was happening around me.
It was only later that I heard an eager voice in the blur: "Nannan, Nannan......"
But I feel like I'm dreaming.
In my dreams, don't I always dream of my grandfather holding me and calling me again and again? I should have had that dream again, right? A small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and a grandfather with a warm embrace.
Unfortunately, the dream that I took for granted didn't appear.
It was still dark in front of me, and I didn't have any ability to struggle, so I could only sleep in the dark.
It wasn't until later that I slowly gained some awareness.
I felt like I was sleeping in an incredibly soft place, with a light aroma on the tip of my nose and a pair of big rough hands that held my hands tightly for a moment.
During this process, I can still feel someone wiping my face and feeding me a cool, very lightly sweet liquid.
This kind of thing makes my mind clearer and clearer, and I finally have an energy that makes me wrestle with the darkness! I really wanted to wake up, I was worried about the south wind, I was worried about my final "ending", was this experience just death? Anyway, I wanted to know, so I struggled very hard.
But my eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and after trying many times, I finally opened my eyes.
There was no glare as I had imagined, and when I opened my eyes, there was a soft, dim curtain of light in front of my blurred eyes. And in the midst of the halo, there was a figure that seemed to sit next to me.
I could still feel him holding me, the large, slightly rough hand.
I wanted to see the figure clearly, but the blur in front of me was like a veil. I blinked my eyes hard a few times, and it slowly became clear.
In front of my eyes was a thin figure. His back was slightly rickety, making him look even more frail.
Because of his thinness, his face is clear, but the features of thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and straight nose can also be seen that he must have been very handsome when he was young.
This image is very familiar to me, and I feel the urge to cry when I see it. I was a little anxious, and kept looking at him, until I saw some gray sideburns on his side, and my memory poured out like water under the broken ice.
The old Jiangnan town, warm embrace, doting eyes, and affectionate call...... Grandpa, this person in front of me turned out to be my grandfather!
Am I already dead? I can see my grandfather beside me.
If that's what death tastes like, then death isn't terrible.
I didn't have the strength to speak, only tears flowed incessantly. Wet eyes, wet cheeks, fell to the side of my face, and also wet the pillow towel. I couldn't even think about it, I just wanted to believe that this was the environment that my death would bring, even if I saw the person in front of me look excited when he saw me wake up.
Seeing me crying, his eyes were also red, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, just the hand holding me tightened a little.
At this moment, there was the sound of a door being opened, an ancient creaking sound, not the modern kind of door.
A somewhat familiar voice suddenly came into my ears: "Master, Miss should wake up at this time, I don't know ...... her"
Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice interrupted him: "Hehe, Old Man Zheng, see that you are in a hurry." The medicine I Zuo Qiu concocted, saying that it is the third watch to wake up, it is impossible to go to the fourth watch, don't worry, I will take a look. ”
As he spoke, he said "Huh", and then said with a smile: "Don't look at it, looking at Master Lin's appearance, you know that this Xiaoshuang girl should be awake." ”
Zuo Qiu, yes, I'm very sure.
This strange man, no matter how memorable his voice and appearance, made me feel a little fresher, I was not in the environment of death at all, but really alive. It's just that I don't know what's going on, my grandfather, Zuo Qiu, and Zheng Wuhua will appear here, and Old Man Zheng is the master who gave me the wooden card.
I couldn't hold back my tears, and my whole body trembled slightly. I didn't dare to dream that in my lifetime, I would still see a relative of mine, but grandpa, just sitting here like this.
However, I couldn't enjoy the excitement, my brain was about to explode at the thought of it, and I only had instinctive emotions.
That is grievance, sadness, anger...... I subconsciously let go of my hand, and even wanted to shake off my grandfather's hand, I couldn't speak, but the excitement made my face red, and the accumulation of a lot of emotions made me cough several times.
Looking at me like this, my grandfather's eyes showed painful emotions, and he opened his mouth in a low voice and shouted, "Nan." ”
It didn't matter what he called, but it made me even more sad in that kind call. He has been gone for many years, and I have lived a difficult life with my grandmother, do you know? When Grandma finally fell seriously ill, she missed him very much, did he know? And when my grandmother was leaving, she told me some of her and grandpa's past events, and she held a black and white photo of the three of us until she died, did he know it?
When I was alone at my grandmother's wake, did he ever come to see me?
If something happened to him, he lost his memory, or he lost his freedom, I could forgive him? hugged him with the most excited mood, and willingly served him for the rest of his life, and accepted the joy.
But he turned out to be in S City, and there were no restrictions on freedom, and there was personal care by his side, so he was ...... Grandma is gone, in fact, it's only been less than two years, and I don't believe that he is not in S City these days.
And he still calls me Nannan? I am no longer a girl, but a Lin Xiaoshuang who is used to taking on everything alone, and I don't want to forgive him from the bottom of my heart.
So, I was even more excited to shake off his hand, and grandpa is not a person who is good at talking and expressive, all the time, my reaction made him more painful, just holding my hand tightly, looking up in pain, tears falling from his face.
"Oh, Xiaoshuang girl, what are you doing here?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zuo Qiu hurriedly stepped forward, gently pulled away his grandfather's hand to hold me, and then said to my grandfather: "Master Lin, although my medicine has miraculous effects, Xiaoshuang also needs to rest to see her being tossed." I know you have a thousand words, why don't you wait until she's fully recovered? It's a lot of time, now that you've decided to come out and meet her. ”
Zuo Qiu's words played a certain role, and grandpa finally reluctantly let go of my hand and stood up.
Looking at his figure, I was actually very distressed. I already know that before I fell into a coma, he was the one who got out of the car, and what kind of life did he live all these years that made him thin like this, and even stiffened his back?
In my memory, my grandfather was tall and straight, even if he was a certain age, he was elegant and handsome, but now he is ...... I bit my lower lip, trying to hold back this blood-related pain for him. But he accidentally touched the wound on his lower lip and couldn't help moaning.
Grandpa, who had already stood up and was about to leave, suddenly pushed away Zuo Qiu, who was still persuading, and ran to my bed, his eyes full of painful worry: "Xiaoshuang, what's wrong with you?" What's so uncomfortable? ”
At this time, I was finally able to say two sentences, and I said in a hoarse voice: "Since you haven't cared about me and my grandmother for more than ten years, then you don't need to do it now." No matter how hard I am, no matter how difficult it is, haven't I lived until now? I think you saved me, I have inherited this love, I will keep it in my heart, and I will find a chance to return it to you in the future. ”
Yes, more than ten years! If it weren't for this period of time, I always dreamed back to that Jiangnan town, dreaming of the picture of our previous life, and it might have taken me some time to recognize him as my grandfather.
If it weren't for the warmth of my childhood that reappeared in the dreams of these days, how could I still have such hot feelings for him?
I thought so, but not really. The blood is connected, and it is simply impossible to explain. What's more, I know the deepest secret in my heart, how much I long to have a loved one? And this person's relatives, or my dearest grandfather?
My words made my grandfather look painful, and I was distressed, so I simply turned my head away from him.
But at this time, Old Man Zheng stood up and said, "Miss, you can't talk to the old man like this. Do you know him ......?"
Before Old Man Zheng's words were finished, Grandpa had already stood up a little decadently and waved his hand to interrupt Old Man Zheng's words: "Old Zheng, you don't have to say it." Xiaoshuang needs to rest now, and it's normal for her to complain about me, in these years, I also blame myself all the time, and I don't dare to face Anan, I can't bear the heartache when I think of her. Let's go, the coming day is long. ”
"But, sir." Old Man Zheng seems to be a little unwilling.
At this time, Zuo Qiu stood up again, gently pushed Old Man Zheng, pulled Grandpa, and said, "Okay, okay." In my place, I will naturally take care of Xiaoshuang, and let me persuade me first if I have anything to say. In this matter, no one is right or wrong, isn't it all true feelings? ”
