Chapter 126: Terminally ill
I went back to the dormitory, got my camera, and went straight to Xiong Yanfei's house.
Xiong Yanfei has been discharged from the hospital and is staying at home. It was her own request.
The potion didn't do much to Xiong Yanfei anymore. Lying in a hospital bed for three or four hours a day to inject the potion was tantamount to adding to her pain.
Her appetite is still getting worse day by day, no matter how her mother changes, she also tastes a little and puts down her chopsticks.
Her diarrhea symptoms still haven't changed in the slightest, even if it's just a little fruit, and in a few seconds, she will go to the toilet.
Her bone and joint pain has not been relieved at all, unless she takes a painkiller, how the pain of each bone and joint should still be how painful.
β¦β¦
Then there is only home.
Home, what a heartwarming word. As long as you mention going home, no matter who you are, from the Son of Heaven to the commoners, there will be a warm current in your heart. Home is where people belong. Home is a harbor where ships returning from a long voyage are anchored.
However, for Xiong Yanfei, going home is such a cruel thing, and going home means giving up treatment and giving up hope of life.
It seems that Xiong Yanfei is ready for everything.
So, that day, when Xiong Yanfei suddenly asked to go home, tears rolled down my eyes and that of her mother instantly.
"My baby, why are you going home?" Xiong Yanfei's mother asked.
"I'm homesick, Mom." Xiong Yanfei said with a smile.
"Isn't it better to be in the hospital? When the doctor says it's okay to be discharged, we'll be discharged again, okay? Xiong Yanfei's mother was almost pleading.
"I'm afraid I'll forget the smell of home, I'm afraid I'll forget the way home, I want to get up every morning and sit in the yard with a wicker chair to bask in the sun." Xiong Yanfei said.
Xiong Yanfei's mother looked at me, her eyes were red.
"Yan Fei wants to go back, let her go back. The air in the hospital was so foul. Doesn't Xiong Yanfei dislike the smell in the hospital? I said.
"It's set sail to understand me. You have to stay with me while you're basking in the sun, and you're not allowed to leave. Xiong Yanfei squeezed out a little smile.
"I'll bring a stool to accompany you and read Li Qingzhao's words to you." I say.
"Good. The red lotus fragrance remnants of jade in autumn, lightly dissolve Luo Shang, and go on the Lanzhou alone. β
"Who in the clouds sent the brocade book? When the word goose returns, the moon is full in the west building. I echoed softly.
Tears flowed silently from the corners of Xiong Yanfei's eyes.
β¦β¦
When I arrived at Xiong Yanfei's house that day, her mother had already brought the stir-fried food to the table. Xiong Yanfei sat at the dining table with a blank face.
The sight of her puffy face made my heart ache.
"Yanfei."
"You're here."
"You're here, just in time for dinner." Xiong Yanfei's mother said.
"Not angry, right? Originally, I wanted to bury Xiang Wangfu and rushed over, but I didn't want someone from the bureau to investigate, so I came late. I explained.
Xiong Yanfei's eyelids went up.
"Burial Xiang Wangfu? Has anyone died? Xiong Yanfei's mother asked.
"Oh, didn't Yanfei tell you? Yesterday there was a fire in our picnic place, and Xiang Wangfu went to put out the fire and was burned to death. Buried this morning. β
Xiong Yanfei's mother was amazed. "Burned alive?"
I nodded.
"How could this happen?" Xiong Yanfei's mother's eyes widened.
Xiong Yanfei just looked at me blankly.
I told them the details.
"That's why I'm late. By the way, I took a lot of photos. The group photos of each group are in the camera, so let's ask my uncle to take them and develop them. Yanfei, don't you really want to see it? β
"My dad went to the hospital." Xiong Yanfei was not the slightest bit excited.
"Oh. Then wait for him to come back. Why don't I send the film to the photo studio? I said.
"I vomited blood in the morning."
"Vomiting blood?" My heart thumped.
"My dad went to the hospital to tell the doctor about the situation." Xiong Yanfei seems to be talking about other people's business.
"Eat, eat. If you don't eat any more vegetables, you'll get cold. Xiong Yanfei's mother diverted the topic.
"Don't you wait for uncle?" I asked.
"Not waiting. He didn't know when he would come back. Xiong Yanfei's mother said.
I snatched it and served it to Xiong Yanfei.
"Can you eat these meals? But I'll serve it to you myself. You see your mother cooking a table full of dishes. β
"No appetite."
"Wouldn't that be faceless? Eat more. Give me what you can't eat, I don't dislike it. I said.
"Why did I say I died?" Xiong Yanfei Muran asked.
"Who? Did you say Xiang Wangfu? Don't think about that when eating. I said.
"yes, why bother thinking about it." Xiong Yanfei's mother said, "Cheer up and eat a few more bites." Only when you can eat can you resist. β
"I don't want to eat it." Xiong Yanfei pushed the rice bowl forward.
"What? You didn't even eat a bite. Xiong Yanfei's mother was helpless.
"Yan Fei, this is not your character. Your mother cooked so many dishes for you, you have to try some. That's too negative. β
"I really can't eat it. Why don't you all understand it? β
"Don't understand anything?" Xiong Yanfei's father walked in from outside.
"Let your dad persuade you." Xiong Yanfei's mother said.
"It's useless for anyone to persuade me!" Xiong Yanfei said.
"What's wrong, baby? Who you off? The father asked.
I said hello to Xiong Yanfei's father.
"Yanfei doesn't eat a mouthful of food." Xiong Yanfei's mother said.
"You don't want to eat it, do you? Who doesn't want to eat with an appetite? If you don't eat it, forget it. Eat it when you want to. Xiong Yanfei's father sat down next to Xiong Yanfei, "Are you worried about vomiting blood?" The doctor said it was fine, it was caused by the drug damaging the intestines. He specifically told me not to worry. β
Xiong Yanfei looked at her father suspiciously.
"Really?" Xiong Yanfei's mother asked.
"Is there still a fake? Will I tell a lie to my baby girl? Come, try a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs cooked by your mother, sweet and sour, very appetizing. β
Xiong Yanfei opened his mouth.
"How?" The father asked.
"Get me some dried tofu." Xiong Yanfei's mood has improved a little.
"Isn't that what you've always liked to eat? Why don't you change your meal and eat a few bites of hot rice. β
"No, isn't it hot? This meal was served to me by Zheng Qihang. Xiong Yanfei said.
"Excuse me. Sailing is a guest of our house. β
"It's fine. As long as Yan Fei eats it, I am willing to serve it ten times. I said.
"Am I not a pig, then?"
"Aren't you and I all pigs?" I say.
Everyone laughed.
I felt the sun shine into the room.
After resting for a few minutes after eating, Xiong Yanfei went to the room to take a nap.
Sitting on the sofa, I told Xiong Yanfei's father about what happened at school.
"Did Xiong Yanfei not want to eat when he heard this?" Xiong Yanfei's father asked.
"Yes. As soon as I came, I saw that she looked very depressed, not like she usually looked happy to see me. I explained to her that when I talked about Xiang Wangfu's death, her mood was even worse. I said.
"She's thinking of her own illness."
"I know."
"Hey-" Since Xiong Yanfei fell ill, Xiong Yanfei's father's black hair slowly turned white.
"Isn't it troublesome for Xiong Yanfei to vomit blood, uncle?"
"......" Xiong Yanfei's father just sighed.
My heart sank. Everything is already clear. The rules of the game are something that no one can change. Or, God doesn't follow the rules.
I walked to the courtyard of Xiong Yanfei's house. The yard was full of life. Grass, green leaves, and flowers all tell people that spring is coming. Spring, a symbol of hope, why is Xiong Yanfei getting more and more languishing in your season, is she also a petal that shows your charm, destined to wither, destined to wither?
I remember the first time I came here, I was amazed by the luxury of the yard and the house. Now I am the most popular guest here, and I can come and go here freely, but the little host who enjoys this luxury has to say goodbye to all this and go to another dimension.
How do I accept this reality?
I walked to the rockery, sat down on the swing under the grape trellises, and through the green grape leaves I saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, and the sun was haunting the clouds.
Heartbreaking!
I finally understood what it meant.
"What are you thinking? Why didn't you do your homework at home? Xiong Yanfei stood on the steps into the house and greeted me.
I got up from the swing and stepped out of the trellis. "Just woke up? I didn't seem to sleep long. β
"Can't sleep. Just lay down and rested for a while. Xiong Yanfei walked down the steps. I noticed that she was wrapping the silk scarf I gave her around her neck.
I hurriedly walked over to Xiong Yanfei's side, "Are you in a better mood now?" β
"I must have you off just now, did I?"
"Nope. Set sail will never be angry with Yanfei. "We paced side by side in the yard.
"I'd like to visit the 'old place' in a few days. I miss that place so much now. Would you like to come with me? It's our place. Xiong Yanfei suddenly proposed.
"Okay." I was a little surprised, "I've wanted to see it for a long time." But wait until you're better. β
"I don't think there's a need to wait. Why don't you go tomorrow? β
"Tomorrow?" I don't know why Xiong Yanfei is so eager, "Not tomorrow, you see it's gloomy and gloomy, and it's not fun to rain halfway." β
"Then we'll take a walk in the rain. Well, walking in the rain is quite romantic to think about. Let's hold an umbrella together. β
"On this day, the temperature is relatively low when it rains, and the so-called warm and cold at first is very cold. So we'll have to wait for the weather to improve. I'll come to you as soon as the weather improves, okay? I said.
"Okay." Xiong Yanfei accepted it although he was reluctant, "It's just that I'm worried that my body won't be able to hold on." β
"How so?"
"My body is clear to me. To put it bluntly, I'm waiting to die. Xiong Yanfei looked in the direction of the courtyard gate.
"Yan Feiβ" I took Xiong Yanfei's hand in mine.
"Set sail, you have to accept this reality. My body is getting worse day by day. I really want to stay up until you take the college entrance examination and until you send me the admission letter for medical school, but judging from today's situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay up. A tear slipped down Xiong Yanfei's puffy face.
"No, no, I don't want you to say such discouraged things. You forgot what you said, we're going to go to a medical university together, we're going to fight leukemia together! I choked up.
"I'm sorry, I really can't accompany you on this matter. That was just a naΓ―ve idea at the time. Xiong Yanfei's face was full of sadness.
"But it's become my pursuit, no, it's our pursuit. Now you are talking about naΓ―ve ideas, how can you go back on your word? Promise me, Yanfei, you can't give up. You don't give up, um-" I choked.
Xiong Yanfei threw herself into my arms. "It's not that I can't give up, it's that I can't give up. I knew I was terminally ill, and what my dad said at noon was all words of comfort. I know, I know. "Tears from Xiong Yanfei's cheeks fell on my shoulders and wet my shoulders.
My tears flowed silently.
