It grew like a plant in the hospital for another week.

A week later, the doctor did a few small tests on Ren Zhe during his ward rounds, and then took a pen lamp to shine on Ren Zhe's pupils for a long time, turned off the flashlight and put it in his jacket pocket, turned back to Li Yuxiu and said, "Let the patient get out of bed and try to take two steps." ”

Ren Zhe opened his eyes a slit - he could only open them so wide, and his two eyelids were already drooping severely.

He saw the doctor turn and walk out, and Li Yuxiu was staring at his face, and he wanted to smile at her.

A grin, a puddle of saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

Li Yuxiu frowned, and pulled out the paper towel on the table to wipe it off for him.

As soon as the tissue was delivered to Ren Zhe, he bent his neck and twisted it to the other side.

Even his half-open eyes were tightly closed.

Li Yuxiu's subtle change in expression made Ren Zhe's heart suddenly rise with a touch of sadness, accompanied by a cold heartache.

With his current condition, even if he lives humbly, the possibility of recovery is almost zero, the doctor has long asserted.

Before the bed of a long-term illness, there is the greatest test of human nature.

He has never dared to think about this problem, and he has not been willing to face it.

But the reality will eventually get closer and closer, until it is in front of us.

He's a waste, a complete waste.

But Li Yuxiu didn't.

She's still young, she's still beautiful, and her life has endless possibilities.

But he will only become a burden to her.

"Ren Zhe"

He heard Li Yuxiu call him softly.

He collected his thoughts, turned his head and opened his eyes.

"Did you hear what the doctor said?" , Li Qianxi had a far-fetched smile on his face, "Shall we get out of bed and try it?" ”

Ren Zhe nodded.

Li Yuxiu hurriedly put down the handrail on the side of the hospital bed and put a new pair of slippers in front of the bed.

"Come, I'll help you up." , Li Yuxiu shook the bed board a little, hugged Ren Zhe's upper body and pulled it hard, and he sat up loosely.

"You're seated." , Li Yuxiu grabbed his two legs and pulled him out, slowly moved him to the side of the bed, leaned down again, and put on his slippers.

When she raised her head, Li Yuxiu's face was a little red - she didn't actually have much strength.

"Okay, now hold my neck and stand up slowly." , Li Yuxiu said as she turned her back and half-squatted down, straightened her upper body with her hands on her knees, and left him with a back.

She pulled her sleeves high above her elbows, revealing the row of tattoos.

Ren Zhe slowly stretched his arms forward and put them on Li Yuxiu's shoulders, and her warm hand immediately held his arm, pulling his body in her direction, while pushing his legs the ground.

With the help of Li Yuxiu's strength, Ren Zhe slowly straightened his body and stood up from the bed inch by inch.

"Can you stand?" , When Ren Zhe completely stood on the ground, Li Yuxiubian turned his head and asked.

"Don't move." , Ren Zhe's mouth was slurred.

Li Yuxiu didn't move.

Ren Zhe slowly bent his arms, intertwined his arms, and hugged Li Yuxiu from behind.

His head hung slightly, his face resting on her shoulder, and then he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.

"Let go." , he made a string of nasal sounds.

Li Yuxiu squeezed his hand hard and leaned forward half a step.

Ren Zhe's arms slid down from Li Yuxiu's body and stood there fixedly.

"Great." , Li Yuxiu immediately turned around and couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw that Ren Zhe didn't crook over.

But Ren Zhe was shocked at this time.

One of his arms was involuntarily reaching for his lower abdomen, his shoulders were twitching higher and lower, and the fingers on his two hands were bent like a pickaxe, wrapping his thumb in the palm of his hand.

As soon as he tensed, he took a step forward on one leg.

This step out, the whole body seems to be pumped together.

A scene crossed his mind - Zhao Benshan, who took two apprentices to cheat in the Spring Festival Gala.

The way he walks now, that's it, but it's not funny at all.

Li Yuxiu could see it clearly on the side, and her face couldn't hide the loss.

Ren Zhe was ashamed and annoyed, he gritted his teeth and tried to step on the other leg.

But that leg is like a screw in the joint, and you can't get out of it.

Ren Zhe sat on the ground with his buttocks, holding the leg that couldn't move away and hammered it a few times, Li Yuxiu looked anxious, went up and pulled him away and said, "What are you doing." ”

Ren Zhe lowered his head and didn't speak, and after a while, he raised his head and said vaguely: "Discharge from the hospital." ”

The day I was discharged from the hospital happened to be June 1st.

A small bunting fluttered next to the hospital, and a light song was played on the radio.

Ren Zhe suddenly felt a little homesick, twenty years ago, when he had his first Children's Day, his mother sold a bucket of eggs and bought him a copy of "The Complete Works of Grimm's Fairy Tales".

The book is still in good condition in the cabinet at home, but what about people......

Ren Zhe returned to the haunted building.

The room had just been painted, and there was still some pungent smell left.

Li Yuxiu helped Ren Zhe to the bed, and at this time, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Tian Xi'e stood at the door a little embarrassed, with a pair of dry hands like dead branches nowhere to place.

"I heard that you are coming, so my wife hurried to take a look." She leaned inside.

"Come in, Grandma Tian." , Li Yuxiu's face was expressionless, her body was wrong, and she let Tian Xi'e in.

Tian Xi'e seemed to be a little scared, and stopped when she walked to the door of the bedroom, she glanced at Ren Zhe lying on the bed, and suddenly sniffed and cried.

"They all blame me, they all blame me, if it weren't for my greed to pick some wild mushrooms, I wouldn't have harmed the child like this."

Older people tend to have snot, and when they cry, they come down.

Ren Zhe watched Tian Xi'e stretch out his palm and wipe it on his nose, then took out a piece of paper from his side and handed it to her.

"The food was delicious." , Ren Zhe hummed and said, "If you can, do it again." ”

Tian Xi'e was startled, turned her head and looked at Li Yuxiu at a loss.

Li Yuxiu looked at Ren Zhe and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Is it okay tomorrow?" , Ren Zhe said.

"I'll make it for you if you want to eat it." , Li Yuxiu suddenly said softly.

In fact, about poisoning, Li Chenggang had already told Ren Zhe that there was no poison in the rest of the meal, and the ingredients of the poison were in his bowl.

He remembered that several bowls were stacked on top of each other, and the rice was still served by him.

He served everyone a good meal, and only then did he serve himself a bowl.

There won't be any problems in between.

But why is he the one who is poisoned?

This is a question he has been unable to figure out.

Of course, there is no need to think about it anymore.

When he made that decision, he thought, maybe with a wave of his hand, everything that was longing or hating, what was hoped for or what was tired, would eventually pass.

The next morning, when the light was slightly dewed, Li Yuxiu carried a basket and went downstairs to find Tian Xi'e to pick mushrooms.

It's not that she is diligent, Tian Xi'e came to knock on the door three times before dawn.

When people get old, they fall asleep less, and the more they can't sleep when there is something in their hearts.

She promised to make Ren Zhe another meal of mushroom stewed noodles yesterday.

And she patted her chest and promised that this time it would never be poisonous.

When the movement in the corridor disappeared, Ren Zhe slowly got up from the bed.

Within a few days, he developed some strength and began to be able to manipulate his body.

But the body is frozen in that dull and sick state - like a patient after a stroke, but more serious than that.

When walking, one leg mops the floor, and with each step, the limbs will swing in disharmony; The fingers are more curved, and it takes a lot of effort to pick up even a pen.

He walked into the bathroom step by step, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror: his shoulders were high and low, his neck was tilted to one side, and there was no expression on his face; And the eyes, the weak eyelids are half-open and half-closed, like a sleepwalking person.

He put a handkerchief in his hands and put it in the washbasin to wet it, and wiped it carefully on his face, along with his neck and behind his ears.

I bit open the lid of the toothpaste, ate some in my mouth, picked up the toothbrush and brushed it for a long time, put my mouth on the faucet, rinsed my mouth, and drank a few sips.

The medicine last night made him thirsty and bitter in his mouth, but he didn't dare drink more.

His hair was still a little messy, and he could only hook his fingers.

Back in the bedroom, he tidied up, opened the wardrobe, and took out a watch and a sweater from it.

The watch was given to him by Li Yuxiu.

The sweater was given to him by Yuan Yuan, who was rescued by Li Yuxiu after the last fire.

It's not that he can't forget Yuan Yuan, it's just that he heard that it's still a little cold over there at this time.

It took him twenty minutes to put on his watch and sweater.

After that, he stole 500 yuan from Li Yuxiu's bag.

Everything is ready – that's everything.

He stood in front of the window and took one last look at Li Yuxiu.

It's her birthday in a few days, but he can't make it through the last few days.

From the moment he began to drool at the corners of his mouth in front of Li Yuxiu's eyes, his life was like counting time.

Farewell, Li Yuxiu, if there is fate, see you in the next life.
