Chapter Seventy-Six: Su Xun
"Su Xun, we can have our own mental clinic in one year at most!" Duan Penghao, who had just gotten up in the morning, said to his wife Su Xun on the side while cleaning up the hair on his head that had been crushed by sleeping.
And his wife Su Xun just sat quietly in front of the window, staring out the window at the crowded streets, which is the same in any country during the rush hour.
Duan Penghao found that his wife seemed to be a little depressed, so he put down the hair dryer in his hand, leaned over to his wife, knelt lightly behind her, reached out to hug his wife from behind, and whispered: "When our psychological clinic opens, life will not have to be so tight, and then we can go and prepare for a new house." ”
"Let's change to a big house and have two children." Duan Penghao put her ear to Su Xun's back, listening to Su Xun's powerful heartbeat, and imagining a better life in the future.
After graduating from university, Duan Penghao has been huddled in a rented apartment of less than 50 square meters with his wife Suxun, not to mention that he does not earn a lot as a psychiatrist, but most of it has been saved by him and is ready to open a psychological clinic of his own.
Su Xun also expressed his support for Duan Penghao's approach, as Duan Penghao's virtuous helper, Su Xun almost unconditionally supported her husband's dream, even if she suffered a little.
Hearing Duan Penghao say this, Su Xun took his eyes back from the street outside the window, turned around and hugged Duan Penghao with his backhand, and said softly: "I believe you, but you should go to work now." ”
As he spoke, Su Xun let go of Duan Basil in his arms and gently pushed him.
Duan Penghao raised her head, looked at the corners of her wife's slightly raised mouth, and finally relieved herself, so she reluctantly packed her things and went to work.
However, Duan Penghao didn't expect that less than an hour after he went to work, something happened at home.
A phone call from a neighbor brought back Duan Basil, who was still diagnosing his patients, but by the time he returned, his apartment had become a sea of fire.
Seeing the thick black smoke floating out of his window, Duan Penghao's brain buzzed, and the whole person was there.
Then, Duan Penghao rushed towards the fire as if he was crazy, but before he could get close to the apartment, he was stopped by the firefighters who came to the rescue.
"Don't stop me, my wife is still inside!" Duan Penghao shouted desperately, but the firefighters around him did not waver at all.
Until the fire was finally extinguished, Duan Penghao did not see the shadow of his wife.
In the end, all Duan Basil claimed was a charred corpse that had been turned beyond recognition.
However, before Duan Bahao could be sad, the results of the police's on-site investigation came out.
The police found gasoline barrels and traces of ignition of gasoline in the apartment that Duan Penghao rented, in other words, the final result of the police identification was suicide.
Su Xun committed suicide.
Duan Penghao couldn't accept this result no matter what, Su Xun was still fine when he left home in the morning, how could he commit suicide in such an extreme way?
However, the police showed Duan Penghao a video of Su Xun buying gasoline in a store, as well as the results of the scene investigation that no third person was present at the scene.
However, what made Duan Penghao most unacceptable was the investigation of the cause of Su Xun's suicide given by the police.
Depression.
Duan Penghao himself is a psychiatrist, how can he not notice if his wife has a mental illness?
But in any case, Su Xun is dead, this is undeniable.
It was precisely because of Su Xun's death that Duan Penghao left the United States in despair, and because of Su Xun's last wishes, Duan Penghao went to the welfare home to adopt his first adopted child, Chu Mian.
Later, he used all his savings to build an exotic forest hut in Qianluhu Forest Park, and began to live a life without fighting with the world.
Perhaps because of the adopted children, Duan Penghao gradually came out of the shadows and returned to a normal life.
But on this night, Duan Basil actually saw Su Xun's figure in the woods!
Although he knew that Su Xun could not come back from the dead, the moment he saw Su Xun's figure, Duan Penghao's heart sank suddenly.
Originally, Duan Penghao's long-dormant mood suddenly burst out together, no matter how much he controlled his emotions, seeing the person he once loved the most appear, it was impossible for any psychological embankment to withstand this monstrous flood.
Duan Penghao rushed out of the door desperately, and plunged into the dark woods before he could take the flashlight.
"Su Xun!"
However, the familiar figure only flashed by, as if he hadn't heard Duan Bahao's voice.
Duan Penghao called Su Xun's name while struggling to move forward in the woods, because he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, the thorns in the woods kept leaving wounds on Duan Penghao's body.
Blood was running slowly down his skin, but he didn't seem to be conscious, but he only knew how to run forward.
Suddenly, Duan Basil, who was originally in the woods, slammed his footsteps, and the scene in front of him changed abruptly.
The originally pitch-black woods suddenly opened up, and the thorn bushes that should have appeared in front of Duan Penghao turned into tables full of American apartment decoration style.
"This is ......" Duan Penghao's gaze froze for a while, although several years had passed, but he couldn't forget these things in front of him for the rest of his life.
This is the apartment he rented when he was in the United States!
How so?
At this moment, Duan Basil suddenly asked, and there was a strong smell of gasoline.
He turned his head slowly, and saw that the familiar figure was standing in the small bedroom, and at Su Xun's feet, a suitcase-sized gasoline drum was being dumped aside, and the gasoline in it was bubbling to the floor at her feet.
Su Xun stood in the gasoline and lit the lighter in his hand.
"Su Xun!"
Seeing Su Xun self-immolating, Duan Penghao screamed and rushed towards Su Xun in the bedroom.
However, before he could rush into the bedroom, the high-concentration gasoline exploded, knocking Duan Basil to the ground.
"Su Xun!" Duan Penghao struggled to get up from the ground, but he heard the screams of Su Xun in the sea of fire.
"Don't ......" Duan Penghao knelt on the ground, looking at Su Xun who was swallowed by the sea of fire, tears couldn't stop flowing out, "Su Xun! ”
Flames crawled like a sinuous snake along the gasoline on the floor, and in a moment they climbed every corner of their apartment.
