Chapter Eighty-Four: Waiting for Good News
Thinking that Qian Cheng hadn't given us the response he deserved as agreed, I suddenly became less calm. I hurriedly stopped everyone who was about to leave and said, "Hey, wait! Are we missing a person? Qian Cheng hasn't responded to us yet! Isn't it too inauthentic for us to leave like this? ”
When the big man heard me say this, he slapped his head and said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten such an important thing? Look at my brain! ”
When I saw the big man say that, I was a little relieved. At first, I was worried that I would have a disagreement with him: if he agreed with me, it would be fine, and we would wait for good news together; But if he doesn't agree, we're in trouble.
If the big man disagrees, for example, if he says, "Isn't so many lives worth one life?" ”。 If he had asked, I would have been speechless. After all, neither public nor private can affect the progress of the "big army" because of a single money.
Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this at all, because the big man agreed with my ideas and decisions.
However, before I could rejoice, the older man seemed to change his mind! He suddenly said, "No, if so many of us encounter any difficulties or die because of waiting for a small amount of money, isn't that passive?" ”
Hearing the big man say this, my heart sank: what should come will come.
However, the big man was much more meticulous and democratic than I expected, because he also asked each of us for our opinions. Qian Cheng is our good buddy and Duoduo's cousin, so of course I agree to wait and see! The old ghost and Lisa looked at me and said that they would wait, and of course they agreed a hundred times. However, the older man still wants to hear the old man's opinion.
So he asked the old man: "Senior, do you say that you should wait or not?" Or. Do you give him a hexagram? ”
The old man pinched his fingers and calculated, but did not answer in time.
However, a few of us onlookers were so anxious! We are afraid that the old man will say that he will not agree, so we will stop cooking. Because, the big ones will basically listen to him. However, we did not dare to rush. I can only wait quietly.
After a while, the old man said, "Then we'll wait." ”
"Yay!" The four of us were cheering, and the old man finally gave an approving opinion.
Then only the minority obeys the majority - just wait and see. We are here, not going anywhere, just waiting for Qian Cheng's "good news" here.
After waiting for a while, none of us spoke. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became a little dreary. Duoduo said to me, "It's so boring! Let's just wait stupidly, why don't we tell a story? Fang Yu. Tell me a story. ”
"Storytelling?" I was surprised by Toto's request, but looking back, I don't think it's strange. Because I don't think it's unusual for Duoduo to tell me stories at such tense times. So I said to her, "What story do you want to hear?" ”
"It's better to be about love!" Tato innocently said, "The kind that is touching!" ”
Listening to the conversation between the two of us, the others seemed to have nothing to do, so they all came over. Then, listen to the story I'm going to tell them. I tell them stories. It's not the first time. In this way, there is no obstacle.
So I began. I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered a piece of news I saw in an old newspaper some time ago. Although I don't know if it's true or not, it's still quite touching:
That day was the coldest day since the beginning of winter in Shenyang. And in the cold winter of minus 24C, the most heartbreaking scene happened.
In order to accompany his wife who died of a sudden heart attack for a while. 63-year-old Uncle He sat on the sidewalk with his wife's body in his arms for nearly two hours......
I remember that at about 19:50 at the time written in the newspaper, on the east side of the intersection of Fengtian Street and Shenzhou Road in Shenhe District, an old man wearing a black hat and a black cotton jacket sat on a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk, holding his wife in his arms.
I'm afraid that my wife will freeze. The uncle opened the padded jacket and covered his clothes on his wife, and pulled back the slippery padded jacket from time to time......
If it weren't for the reminder from the people around him, people would think that the eldest lady in his arms was asleep. In fact, the eldest mother passed away more than an hour ago.
Mr. Suo, who lives nearby, said that at around 17:40, he found his eldest mother lying on the ground.
At almost 18 o'clock, 120 arrived and determined that the old man had died, and the cause of death was initially believed to be a heart attack. And the uncle rushed to his wife's side at almost 19 o'clock, and he has been holding his wife since he got here.
Witnesses said that the uncle's surname is He, and his home is Fushun. The old couple is both 63 years old this year and has been living in Shenyang for several years.
Usually Uncle He is on duty in Hunnan District, and the eldest mother lives in the neighborhood home. The eldest lady went out to buy medicine at the pharmacy. Because the uncle wanted his wife to return to his roots, he was waiting for Fushun's son to drive them back.
At 20:10, Uncle He still hugged his wife tightly, arranging his wife's hair from time to time, and moving his wife's legs.
"Uncle, it's too cold this day, if you stay like this, you'll have to do something, hurry up!" The people around persuaded Uncle He to get up quickly.
But Uncle He just nodded, muttering: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'll accompany her again, and the car will come in a while." ”
Mr. Suo, an eyewitness, said that Uncle He did not wear gloves when he first arrived, and his hands were red from the cold after sitting for less than 10 minutes. He hurried home and fetched gloves for his uncle, cardboard and foam boxes, and asked him to sit under him to cool off.
Uncle He, who had been sitting with his wife for almost two hours, had been frozen stiff and pale, and when he heard the people around him say that the aunt's mouth was not closed, he quickly took off his gloves and gently closed her mouth with his hand, and touched her lips a few times with his hand.
At 20:30, Uncle He was still holding his wife, and the people around him were also crying, "How good the relationship between these two old people is, it's not easy to do this job, it's touching!" ”
"The old lady was still conscious when she had an accident, and a guy went over to help, but she fainted before she could tell her family's phone number, and then she didn't react." Mr. Suo said that after that, a girl came to help the old man do heart compressions for more than ten minutes, but to no avail.
When the police arrived, they found the pharmacy with the newly bought medicine on the old man's body, and then the family of the old man through the information on the guò membership card.
At 20:39, after holding out for almost two hours, Uncle He's son finally arrived. Seeing his son pick up his wife's body, it took Uncle He nearly a minute to stand up tremblingly under the support of everyone, and he limped due to sitting for a long time.
After standing up, Uncle He looked at his wife in the car and planned to light a cigarette, but after trying several times, the lighter did not ignite. Before getting in the car and leaving, Uncle He bowed his head to the crowd and said "thank you". (To be continued......)
