In the third year after Yin Baihan captured Jinling, Huo Changfan died of illness in Pingling.
The day before he died, it was snowing heavily.
At that time, Huo Changfan only had one breath left hanging in his throat, and his consciousness was sometimes awake and sometimes blurred.
Shi Xinlan, who was sitting on the edge of his bed, had been crying in a low voice, because she had a premonition that his life was coming, and in the harsh environment, she had no other way but to cry.
In the dilapidated house, there was only a broken lamp, shivering pitifully in the cold wind blowing outside.
Huo Changfan heard his wife's cry, he barely opened his eyes to see her, in the dim room, the first thing that caught his eye was his wife's white hair.
In just three years, she went from being the wife of a president to being a prisoner with him, and in this rough and harsh environment, his wife was like a flower that was rapidly decaying.
Huo Changfan's heart was not only guilty but also guilty, he held Shi Xinlan's hand in his hand, and lay there with a dull sigh.
When Shi Xinlan heard his sigh, she immediately stopped crying and looked at him.
Huo Changfan rarely spoke clearly and said to her: "What time is it?" ”
Shi Xinlan thought that he was going to be thirsty, or that he had some needs, so he immediately said, "It's not dawn yet." She grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" ”
Huo Changfan shook his head at his wife: "I'm not thirsty, I just dreamed of my father and mother." ”
Shi Xinlan heard him say this, but stopped talking.
The wind outside was torn and chirping, Huo Changfan's eyes moved away from Shi Xinlan's face, his eyes searched in the house, and after searching for a long time, his eyes finally fell on the broken lamp.
The light in his eyes was extremely faint, like the broken lamp, facing extinguishment at any moment.
Shi Xinlan saw him staring at the lamp in a daze, so she came to her senses, she immediately got up from the side of the bed, walked to the table, and quickly put the lampshade on the table on the oil lamp.
She stood by the lamp, smiled at Huo Changfan with red eyes and said, "I forgot to cover the lampshade, look, you reminded me carefully." ”
Huo Changfan heard her say this, but he didn't react, his eyes still didn't leave the lamp, and his expression was still a little weird.
In just a few seconds, the light suddenly went out, and the room was dark for a moment, Shi Xinlan was startled, and her first reaction was to call: "Changfan!" ”
No one in the room answered, Shi Xinlan panicked to relight the lamp, but before she could make a move, she heard Huo Changfan sigh behind her, and then, his weak voice came slowly in the dark night: "Xinlan, it's useless, don't light it." ”
His voice was no longer as loud as before, and it was all tired and weak.
Shi Xinlan faintly heard some parting meaning from his words, in addition to despair or despair in her heart, she tried to suppress her crying in this dark night, and did not stubbornly light the lamp, but stood in the dark and said with a smile: "If you dislike the dazzling light, I will not light it." ”
She tentatively stretched out her hand and walked forward, intending to return to Huo Changfan's bedside, but before she could reach, Huo Changfan said again: "It's me who is sorry for him." ”
Huo Changfan's sudden words made Shi Xinlan's forward movements stop.
It was as if he was speaking to her, and it was like telling himself.
After a while, he asked again, "Is there a letter from there?" ”
Shi Xinlan choked up and said, "It's here." ”
Huo Changfan asked in a low voice, "What did you say?" ”
Shi Xinlan didn't know how to answer her, she was silent, and Huo Changfan was not stupid, he knew what her silence meant.
At this point, it was impossible for him to come back to see him, and the brotherhood of their life had come to an end since the day they broke up.
For some reason, Huo Changfan actually relaxed at this moment, he lay on the bed and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if he comes, what can we say today, it's better to go on here, it's better to be embarrassed by both parties when we meet." ”
Shi Xinlan finally turned on the lights in the room again, and after the room was bright again, Huo Changfan was a little tired, he was lying there and wanted to talk to Shi Xinlan, but he still couldn't bear the exhaustion, and fell asleep in a daze in the company of Shi Xinlan.
It's just this sleep, and by the next day, Huo Changfan never woke up again.
Shi Xinlan threw herself on his cold corpse and cried.
When Xie Dong received the news, he immediately made an ocean call abroad.
When Yu Ze heard the news, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night abroad, he stood next to the sofa and held the microphone for a long time without moving, and when four seconds passed, Yu Ze replied: "I know." ”
After he finished speaking, he silently put down the microphone in his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the second floor, and when he arrived at the door of a room, Yu Ze stopped outside the door, and then said something to the maid waiting at the door.
After answering, the maid quickly entered the door, and when she reached the bed in the bedroom, the maid whispered to the tent, "Sir." ”
This sentence is particularly light, but the man in the account has already woken up when he hears the voice of the maid, but because he is afraid of the person in his arms, he does not make a sound.
The maid did not leave, but remained by the bedside.
After the man in the tent gently placed the person in his arms, he stretched out his hand and turned on the lamp on the bedside table, and the sleeping woman's eyelids were a little red and swollen, obviously crying.
The man in the tent stroked her face twice with his fingers with a little pity, and then got out of bed.
The maid quickly took a coat from the side and put it on the man's body.
When he arrived, Yu Ze was still waiting at the door.
In the middle of the night, it was raining heavily, and the sound of the rain beating against the windows was particularly scary.
Mu Jingchi looked at Yu Ze and asked, "Is there any news from the country?" ”
Yu Ze lowered his head and whispered back: "Yes." After a while, he said again: "Sir, Huo Changfan has passed away." ”
For this news, Mu Jingchi did not have any surprises, after he heard it, he was very calm and calm, although he was calm, but he stood at the door for a full minute or two without moving.
After a long time, he said four words to Yu Ze: "Burial." ”
After he finished speaking, he did not linger any longer, and then turned and went back to his room.
The wind began to blow outside, and Mu Jingchi's back when he turned around and left was a little lonely.
After that, Mu Jingchi sent someone back to China to secretly deal with Huo Changfan's funeral.
In those days, there were a lot of doctors coming and going in the villa, both Western and Chinese medicine, and when Xiao Yu'er arrived at Mu Jingchi's study, those doctors were talking about something in Mu Jingchi's study, but after Xiao Yu'er came in, the doctor didn't stay long, and retreated from the house.
After Xiao Yu'er waited for the doctors to leave, he looked at Mu Jingchi, who was sitting at the desk, and saw that there was a little sorrow hidden between his eyebrows, so he asked in a low voice: "Father, do you have any troubles?" ”
Mu Jingchi saw Xiao Yu'er ask like this, he didn't speak, and then the maid walked in and said to Mu Jingchi: "Sir, Madame has just fallen asleep, but when she fell asleep, she asked for medicine." ”
Mu Jingchi heard the maid say this, his brows furrowed obviously, and the maid lowered her head a little frightened when she saw that his eyes were cold.
The little fish standing on the side instantly understood something, and he opened his mouth to ask the maid, "What kind of medicine did you drink?" ”
The maid was a little cowardly, hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "It's a medicine for infertility." ”
Xiao Yu'er knew it in her heart.
After the maid left, Mu Jingchi said to Xiao Yu'er: "In the past few years, for some reason, she has been looking forward to her son, and she has invited batch after batch of doctors to her home, and asked these doctors to prescribe some medicine to drink all day long. Mu Jingchi said this, looked at Xiao Yu'er and sighed and said, "I asked those doctors, and those doctors made it clear to me that her body is no longer suitable for pregnancy. ”
Xiao Yu'er asked, "Why don't you let me communicate with my mother?" Tell her the truth? ”
Mu Jingchi shook his head and said: "I will naturally come up with a solution to this matter, don't tell her the truth, I don't want her to be sad." ”
Seeing that her father was still worried, Xiao Yu'er didn't continue here, but began to report something else to him.
When she arrived in the afternoon, the maid came into Mu Jingchi's study again, and anxiously told him that his wife had started taking medicine again.
When Mu Jingchi heard this, his brows darkened, he didn't say anything, he got up and walked outside.
When I arrived in the bedroom, I saw the person on the bed holding the bowl of black medicine and pouring it into my throat in pain.
Mu Jingchi walked over, directly clamped her hand, and smashed the bowl to the ground.
The maid in the room was startled, and immediately took a few steps back, and waited there with her head bowed, not daring to make any sound.
The person on the bed looked up at him aggrievedly, looking like he wanted to cry.
Mu Jing was very angry, sat down on the edge of the bed, pinched her face, took the handkerchief in her hand, and wiped it on her lips, wiping the medicinal paste off her lips.
Without looking back, he commanded the maid, "Whoever comes in with some of these medicines will go and get the board himself." ”
The maidens were silent.
But in reality, he said it to the people in front of him.
Sure enough, the person in front of him, when he heard her say this, pushed his hand away from his face with some annoyance and said, "I made them fry the medicine, what are you doing with them!" ”
In the past few days, she has been very grumpy in order to take medicine, and she doesn't want to face him, and she was about to climb off the bed, when she was dragged by Na Mu Jingchi from behind, and he asked with a gloomy face: "Haven't you made enough trouble?" ”
Lu Qingye wanted to open up, but after struggling twice, she found that she couldn't do it, so she yelled at him loudly: "Where am I making trouble!" I just want a child of my own, and you don't want it, don't you want it?! ”
After she shouted these words, even she herself was stunned, because she saw Mu Jing Chi Tieqing's face.
In the past few months, she has quarreled with him a lot for the sake of the child, usually he comes by him, but she is not so arrogant today, she knows that what she said just now is a little excessive.
Lu Qingye was naturally afraid that he would be angry, after she finished yelling, she looked at him with a blue face and was a little overwhelmed, after being at a loss, her attitude softened, and she tried to pull his sleeve with her hand and whispered, "I was wrong." ”
Mu Jingchi looked at her face of admitting mistakes, he directly pulled his sleeves out of her palm, and then got up from her bedside and said, "What is wrong with you." ”
After he said this, he turned around and walked out with a straight face.
But before he could go out of the door, there was her cry behind him, a terrible cry, and she cried and asked, "Do you not like me so much that I am pregnant with your child?" ”
She questioned him with tears in her eyes.
In the past few years, she has tried her best to give birth to a child that belongs to him, so she pours a bowl of medicine down every day, she thinks he will be happy, but who knows, he is not only unhappy, but also often reprimands her for this kind of thing.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, or if he didn't want her to have a baby for him at all.
Finally, today she couldn't help it and cried all the grievances and grievances in her heart.
After Mu Jingchi heard her crying, he turned to look at her, Lu Qingye couldn't stop crying, and his eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Mu Jingchi knew that she had misunderstood, she thought that he didn't want their child, but in fact, in the matter of children, instead of letting her go through all kinds of hardships to beg for a child, he would rather not want it.
Mu Jingchi looked at her who was crying like a child, in addition to helplessness or helplessness, he sighed lightly, or turned around and walked towards her again, he picked her up from the bed, then lifted her face, wiped the tears on her face and asked, "Just want a child like this?" ”
Lu Qingye nodded, nodding vigorously with tears on his face.
Mu Jingchi still had anger on his face, there was only pity in his eyes, and he said slowly: "But compared with the child, what I hope more is that my wife is healthy and happy." ”
Mu Jingchi saw her looking at him, and continued to whisper: "It's good to have a child who belongs to us, I have also asked those doctors, although they said that there is a glimmer of hope, but this hope needs to be exchanged for your health, do you think I will be happy?" ”
Lu Qingye also calmed down a lot, she sneered and asked, "But, don't you regret it?" ”
As soon as this question came out, Mu Jingchi was silent, regret, of course he regretted it, it was his and her child, how could he not regret it, but this regret was too worthless compared to her health.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Qingye suddenly threw himself into his arms and whimpered and cried, Mu Jingchi was a little annoyed by her behavior, and he wanted to laugh.
When he saw her crying so sadly, he really laughed.
When she cried uncontrollably, Mu Jingchi pinched her chin with a little seriousness, lifted her face out of his arms, and stared at her with low eyes: "I'm never greedy, do you understand?" ”
Lu Qingye didn't understand, and looked at him a little stunned.
He said: "Having you is already a gift from God, I don't want to ask for more, now everything, I already feel very good, do you understand my feelings, I will also have things to be afraid of, in this matter, I don't want to be greedy for an inch further, so don't let me be scared again, okay?" ”
He pleaded with her.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qingye didn't know what he should say.
After a while, she reacted and cried bitterly in his arms again.
Mu Jingchi hugged her and didn't say anything more.
He knew that in this matter, her obsession was deeper.
But all this, he really feels very good, he wants her to understand that during this time, his reprimands for her are just distress in disguise.
He was terrified of losing her, even to the extreme.
