Chapter 4 Singing

Luo Xiaohui turned off the screen of her mobile phone, and the message never received any reply, which made her heart throb faintly.

She and her fiancé Liu Xinbo came to the hospital to deliver soup to their mother, and took advantage of the time to take out their mobile phones to take a look at them while waiting for their mother to finish drinking and washing the dishes, but there was still no movement.

She didn't call him all the time, she was too busy taking care of her mother to handle the transfer, and then she didn't dare and didn't know what to say.

Ever since her mother fell ill a few months ago, Luo Xiaohui has been in a state of overwhelm.

She couldn't figure out why her mother, who had always been in good spirits, would gradually start to feel low on energy and fatigue when she came back from a shopping trip.

At first, she thought it was just that she was old and tired from work, so she persuaded her mother to buy a lot of health products to replenish her body, but the result still did not improve. It wasn't until one day that she suddenly fell to the ground and fell into a coma, and went to the county hospital and provincial hospital to do all kinds of examinations, but still couldn't find the cause, and then looked at her mother's emaciated face with protruding cheekbones, that she really realized that her mother might never get up again.

She is grateful to Liu Xinbo.

I don't know if it's normal to always be grateful to someone who has become her fiancé, but it is true that thanks to the man who pulled her by the hand when she was confused and helpless, her mother was able to transfer from the county hospital to the best central hospital in the province without much difficulty.

What's more, the fees that Liu Xinbo paid silently when she was with her mother's bedside, and the full-time escort worker who is hired now are not something she can afford when she is still in school.

So a few days ago, when her mother's condition finally showed signs of stabilization, Liu Xinbo suddenly took out a ring at the door of the hospital, knelt on the ground and proposed, after hesitating for three days, she finally agreed to this man who had pursued her for three years since her freshman year.

Liu Xinbo was very good to me and my mother, I didn't hear any rumors about other girls when I was in college, and now that I have graduated and have a stable job, his parents have no prejudice against my family......

She enumerated the advantages of men item by item in her mind, and felt that she should be content.

But I still can't help but sometimes check the QQ message quietly when the man can't see it.

……

Back in the ward, Xiao Hui leaned in front of the hospital bed and talked to her mother, and Liu Xinbo accompanied her very quietly.

I only heard two soft knocks on the door, and a Lori-like girl flashed in at the door. The girl has bangs, long straight hair, delicate facial features, wearing a black dress, and her skin is very fair, and she looks weak and well-behaved.

Everyone in the room knew this girl called Ouyang Xiaoxiao.

She lived in the next ward, and she suffered a head injury due to a car accident before, although she didn't see any family visits, but the fee was paid in advance at one time, so the hospital did not deliberately rush her after the operation, and has been staying in the hospital for observation.

"Auntie is good, Sister Xiaohui is good, Brother Liu is good." Ouyang Xiaoxiao bowed 15 degrees three times in a row and greeted everyone.

"Laughing and laughing, my mother was still saying that you sang yesterday, and your voice is very good." Megumi responded with a smile. She likes this girl who often comes to her mother's ward to chat, because the girl loves to laugh, so everyone's name for the girl has become Xiaoxiao.

"That's an exaggeration. However, I used to learn how to sing when I was in Japan, and I even performed at the Gakuen Festival. ”

"Did you study in Japan before?"

"Hmm. I went to Japan with my parents when I was very young, and I only returned to Japan a while ago. I didn't expect to be in a car accident as soon as I returned home. Xiaoxiao didn't feel unlucky at all, her eyes were crooked, and her face was full of smiles.

Xiaohui's mother said with some distress: "What about your parents, are they still in Japan?" Knowing that you were hospitalized in a car accident, they should be very anxious, right? ”

"No, my mom and dad are very travelers, and they have often left me behind since I was an adult. Last year, I traveled to a very remote country, and I usually only contact once a few months. Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and said very normally: "So they don't know anything about my hospitalization, and besides, I'm fine." ”

Forehead...... Only such a big-hearted parent would teach such a big-hearted daughter. Xiaohui thought silently.

"Xiaohui, it's almost time for us to go, we won't be able to catch up any later." Liu Xinbo got up and began to pack up the thermos bucket and other things, and while he was on his back, he quietly stared at the slender and well-proportioned calves under the Xiaoxiao black skirt.

"Okay." Luo Xiaohui agreed, and then said to her mother, "Mom, Xinbo's second uncle has come back from Shanghai, and their family has a family dinner tonight." His mother specially told me that I must go over with Xinbo to recognize people. ”

"Okay, go ahead, I'm feeling a little tired, too. I'll talk to Xiaoxiao for a while and then rest. ”

"Okay, Mom, you have to take more rest."

Luo Xiaohui also stood up, thought about it and said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, remember to call your aunt when you leave, she should go to the 609 ward to find her fellow countryman." ”

"I know, Sister Xiaohui, you can rest assured."

……

After the two went out, the two sick people, one old and one young, had an in-depth exchange on the characteristics and differences of square dance and Japanese folk songs.

chatted heartily, smiled and sang again.

As a type of traditional Japanese folk song, enaka originated in the eighties of the nineteenth century, and was originally used by civil rights fighters to replace street speeches, so it is also called "takuroka". Later, it gradually evolved into a form of chanting inner feelings, and words such as "sea, wine, tears, rain, snow, northern country, and parting" often appeared.

There are only five notes in the song, the form of the song is relatively neat, the melody does not change much but is more peaceful, and there is a natural beauty.

The grievances that should have been in the low chanting and singing were interpreted more ethereal and quiet by the girl's soft voice, and listening to it, Xiaohui's mother, who was already a little tired, slowly fell asleep.

As the sleeping man snored softly, the singing in the ward changed to a tune, and the soft voice gradually became more muffled, even with a grit rough feeling, more like a ballad from an ancient ritual.

Xiaohui's mother still has her eyes closed, there are rapid eye movements under her eyelids, her mouth is slightly open but she can't make any sound, and her whole body muscles are tense, as if she used a lot of strength but was pressed by something and couldn't move, only her feet were stirring uneasily.

Xiaoxiao still has crooked eyes and a smile on her face, one hand caresses Xiaohui's mother's chest, feeling the throbbing of suppressed anxiety in her body, and the other hand is behind her back, grabbing a short blade out of thin air.

The length of the short blade without a body resembles that of a seppuku, and the blade body composed of white light spills with a little blue starlight.

The black hair rose without wind, and the girl held the knife in both hands, raised it high, and slammed it into the heart of the woman on the hospital bed.
