Chapter 1: The End of Life

Next Chapter

The weather in June in S Province is already extremely hot, the outdoor temperature can reach more than 30 degrees, and anyone walking on the road can feel that the sun in the sky is like a huge furnace constantly radiating heat, making people sweat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature reached the highest value of the day, the strong sunlight made people unable to open their eyes at all, pedestrians had to squint slightly to hurry. The blazing light on the skin burns, and if you throw eggs on the ground, you can turn them into poached eggs.

At this time, the bus ride is even more torturous. The kind of short-distance car that is allowed to carry more than 20 people is originally narrow, there is no air conditioning, and it is already hot inside. In addition, the driver does not comply with the rules and regulations, and the traffic police on hot days are not so strict, so they are usually overloaded with more than a dozen people. In this way, the car is naturally so stuffy that there is nothing to say.

At this time, a yellow bus with a somewhat dilapidated appearance was driving on the journey from County D to Town O, and the car looked like an old man who was about to lose his life, struggling to crawl towards the end of his life.

The small space was filled with the smell of people's sweat, and the people in the car were talking wantonly, making the already hot weather seem to be much hotter. The pungent smell of tobacco and all kinds of strange smells were intertwined, which made many people frown, but no one stopped them, everyone just covered their noses with their hands, and their eyes revealed a little disgust.

However, none of this seemed so obvious to a boy sitting in the back left corner. His eyes were blank, and he stared blankly at the backward scenery outside the window, as if he had lost his soul. His face was yellow and thin, his messy hair was like withered grass, his thin figure looked so gloomy, and the only eyes that were still a little smart looked like there were two overlapping pupils!

The dazzling sunlight seemed so dim to his eyes, the scorching heat felt so cold to him, and the noise around him sounded so dead and quiet to him. He could even hear his own weak heartbeat!

"Song Zijie? Only 13 years old! Children, are you Song Zijie? The doctor in the white coat asked, a hint of shock and unbearability in his eyes.

"Hello, doctor, I'm Song Ziwen, and Song Zijie is my brother! I'm here to help him ask about the test results. The little boy said as politely as he could.

"Oh, that's right. So where are your parents, and why didn't they bring your brother for a check-up? The doctor asked, a hint of anger in his voice.

"Our family's economic situation is very bad, and my parents have gone out to work for us to study! My brother and I were the only ones at home, but my brother was sick a few days ago, and the teacher asked me to accompany my brother for a check-up. My brother came to get the report, but another doctor told his family to get it, so I came. ”

"Oh, I see." Looking at the little boy in front of him, who was dressed very ordinarily, the doctor shook his head, sighed, and continued, "You better inform your parents to go home quickly!" ”

"Why?"

"Your brother, your brother is suffering from liver cancer, which is already in an advanced stage, and there are still three months left at most......"

Thinking back to what happened this morning, the doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue to me! I'm only 13 years old, and there are still so many beautiful places in the world that I haven't visited, and there are so many beautiful things that I haven't experienced, and I haven't even married and had children, and I haven't even touched a girl's hand......

However, Heaven is so cruel that the flower of my life is about to wither before it reaches the time of blooming, only 3 months, less than 100 days!

That's right, I am Song Zijie, who has just returned from the examination of D County People's Hospital, now 13 years old, studying in the first year of middle school in M Town. Of course, I don't have a younger brother named Song Ziwen, but my sister does have one, and she is also in high school at the same school, but I don't want her to know. It was only because the previous doctor wouldn't tell me the results of the test that I thought of a way to fake my brother.

What I said to the doctor wasn't all false, at least it was true that my parents were working outside the home for me and my sister to study. Before junior high school, my mother had been watching over my sister and me at home, and my father was working outside the home, and almost all of the family's financial resources came from my father's meager salary in exchange for blood and sweat. Until last year, when I was supposed to go to junior high school and my sister was in high school, my father's salary could hardly cover my sister's tuition and living expenses for me and my sister, so I had to let my mother work outside, while my sister and I were arranged to live at my aunt's house.

My aunt is my mother's younger sister, and after a year of marriage and giving birth to a daughter, she stayed at home for two years, and then entrusted her daughter to my family because of the family's poor economy. It wasn't until two years ago that my aunt and her husband came home and rented a store in O town to start a grain and oil business before they brought my sister back.

Although my aunt is close, the life under the fence is always bad. In addition, I am a native of the countryside, and I must have a strong rural habit, so I look out of place on the street, and my aunt is not less nagging about it.

My uncle, my aunt's husband, runs a grain and oil store and helps a relative in the beverage business at the same time. Because he was young and vigorous, he suffered from a herniated disc in his waist at a young age, and the family was also anxious about it.

Because of this, my uncle's temper is also uncertain, and I can clearly feel that my uncle hates me. Coincidentally, my uncle's family has a clear patriarchal attitude, so every time we see my uncle at home, my aunt's daughter and I are always careful and careful, and we can avoid it as much as we can, and try not to meet him.

But even so, my uncle still didn't like me, after all, a family is so big, and the people in it still don't look down and don't look up. If it weren't for the fact that my family has helped him raise his daughter since she was a child, and because my sister can help a lot here, I guess my uncle would have agreed to let me live in his house anyway.

As for my sister's situation here is much better than mine, because my sister can help them cook, wash dishes, watch the store, etc., and my aunt used to dot on her when she was not married, and the most important thing is that my sister is more judgmental than me.

Actually, I don't necessarily want to live in my aunt's house with good conditions, but to reassure my parents when they are away! This is the helplessness of poor families, and what parents in the world are willing to be separated from their children? However, the family's economy does not allow parents to stay by their side, and in comparison, aunt is the most reassuring choice for parents.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to ......"

Tears poured out of my eyes, and all emotions such as fear, grievance, and unwillingness continued to intertwine in my heart, brewing emotions that made my already weak body tremble, and my white face and eyes that had lost their luster were reflected in the car window.

Before I knew it, the bus was about to arrive in M, and looking at the school not far away, I had mixed feelings in my heart, because it was this place that changed the trajectory of my life.

My family is located at the junction of D and L counties, which belong to D and G cities respectively, so there are many children of my age who do not study in the schools in D counties where they are registered, because everyone thinks that the school teachers in L counties are more serious and responsible, and I am one of them.

When it came time to take the exam for the sixth grade of elementary school and junior high school, my parents asked me to take the exam in both counties, and I was admitted to the experimental middle school in L county, and M town middle school in D county was also on the list.

While the whole family is immersed in joy, the question arises, so which school to go to? The people in my family supported me to go to the experimental middle school in L county to study in junior high school, after all, it is a senior high school that can be compared with the county No. 1 middle school, where the teaching quality and admission rate are certainly not comparable to a town-level M town middle school, although M town middle school also has her glorious past!

However, my choice is contrary to my family's opinion, I don't think so, because even the county No. 1 middle school has people who can't go to university, and even in ordinary schools, there are people who can be admitted to university, and gold will always shine!

In addition, there are some other factors, one is that the tuition fee of the experimental middle school is really expensive, not to mention the others, I have to pay 2,000 yuan for other fees every semester, which is an unacceptable fee for my family; There is also the fact that I was born in the countryside since I was a child, and as a rural baby, I will not go to the city if I have nothing to do, and this physical examination in the city is the first time I have entered the county. In the fear of the unknown, of course I would choose the relatively familiar M Town Middle School, not to mention that my sister is also in the middle school of M Town Middle School?

However, it was this choice that laid the groundwork for today, not long after entering the semester, the school collectively conducted a physical examination, and when the results came out, I was told by the teacher that my liver function was not normal, and asked me to find time to go to the people's hospital in the county to have a thorough examination. I hadn't had a physical examination since I was a child, and I didn't know anything about these things, so I followed the advice of my teacher, and who knew that the result would be this.

As I thought about it, the buses had entered the town of M, which was actually not very large, adding up to two streets, and it was not very long, but it had only developed thanks to a middle school and a highway exit.

"Master, stop at the three-way intersection in front." I resisted the grief in my heart and tried to control my voice without trembling.

In fact, I am completely distracted, no matter how my voice trembles, no one else may be able to hear it, and if I hear it, so what, who will have the leisure to take care of me?

The open environment seemed to open my heart a little, and I moved my feet straight to the door of an Internet café called "Green Internet Café", and I came to the front desk with great trepidation.

"Boss, I, I want to drive a machine!" I said slowly. After saying this, I felt my whole body tremble, as if these words drained all the strength in my body.

In fact, I have always been a good student, and even if there is no supervision, I will not go to the entertainment places that other peers like to go to, such as game halls, Internet cafes, billiard rooms, etc. In my mind, these places are places where "crooked and evil ways" gather, and I also avoid them, but at this time, I want to enter this "unrighteous place", and my heart is more or less like a thief.

"Let's go inside first and see where there is an empty plane, and tell me the seat number when you turn it on!" The owner of the Internet café said without taking his eyes off the monitor, as if he was busy playing some exciting game, his left hand kept tapping on the keyboard, and his right hand kept moving the mouse, without even looking at anyone.

I walked into the Internet café and carefully looked around, although there was an air conditioner running in the Internet café, after all, there were too many people, and the heat generated by dozens of computers should not be underestimated. As a result, the air was still filled with the smell of dreary and sweat.

The vast majority of people in Internet cafes are playing games, and it is easy to hear the sound of keyboard taps and mouse clicks, as if the players are eager to smash them. There are also a lot of people chatting, listening to music, and watching movies, of course, this is mostly girls.

Eventually, I found an empty machine, and it was in a corner, separated from the rest of the seats, and no one else could see what was going on here, which was exactly what I needed.

After turning on the computer, I went to the help desk and said to the boss, who was still immersed in the game world, "No. 54, an hour!" As he spoke, I handed over ten dollars.

"Let's bet ten yuan first, and then get off the plane and refund more and make up for less!" The boss said impatiently.

I turned around and returned to seat 54, turned on the music player, and played a song that I usually liked to listen to, but by this time I felt that it had lost its former sound.

I opened the browser and downloaded Microsoft's "Word" document, because Internet cafes generally do not have this kind of office software, and users need to download it themselves.

After installing it, I took out the test sheet I got and entered the contents into the software according to the gourd drawing scoop.

There are two test sheets, one is called "two and a half", which has five parameters, all in English; The other one is called "Liver Function Test Results", and there are more than a dozen items on it, which I naturally don't recognize.

The first time I had a physical examination, I didn't know anything about these results, and I couldn't change them at all! At this moment, I remembered the result of the person in front of me when I went to get the test sheet, so I changed "two and a half" to "+" for the first, third, and fifth, and "-" for the second and fourth, and the doctor said that this was called "hepatitis B big three yang", as for what it meant, I don't know.

Another test sheet changed the abnormal items into two items, and after comparing it with the real thing and confirming that it was correct, I saved the document and copied it to my MP3.

After leaving the Internet café, I found a printing shop, and when the documents were printed, I imitated the doctor's signature, and when I was done, I drove to O Town again.
