Chapter 107: See Mother
%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3.xx City.
Yu Zi, who has just gotten off work doing odd jobs, is standing in a strange city. Walking on an unfamiliar street. A cold wind blows. It looks like it's going to rain. Yu Zi walked through the glass on the side of the road. When I saw a bell hanging in a boutique that was already pointing to two o'clock in the afternoon. Yu Zi suddenly quickened his pace.
Cross two roads. Yu Zi ran to the restaurant opposite. Yu Zi, who was sweating profusely, was thinking about buying a watch at night. He almost missed the appointed time and sweated profusely every time, which made him feel very bad.
Show up at the restaurant on time. The man arrived as early as ever. Yu Zi lowered the brim of his hat. I walked over to a table near the window.
Black cowboy hat. A pair of black-rimmed glasses. A casual dress that is inexpensive but clean. It is Yu Zi's style of dressing after coming to this small city. One is to avoid unnecessary harassment or scorning. Second, I was afraid that I would not be recognized by some of Zhan Rin's subordinates.
Sometimes Yu Zi even thinks this idea is ridiculous. Such a small town in the middle of nowhere. No matter how long Zhan Rin's hand stretches, it may not be able to reach out from S City to the United States. Maybe it's just unfounded.
"You're here. Long time no see." A calm and magnetic voice sounded in Yu Zi's ears.
A man of about thirty years old wears a light gray suit. The personable gentleman looks like a modest and calm temperament. A pair of eyes that have gone through the vicissitudes of time are shining with wisdom. Every gesture exudes the unique charm of a man.
"Uncle Ji. No see for years. Your appearance hasn't changed at all." Yu Zi greeted politely. Sit down in front of a man. Skillfully pour fragrant green tea for the two of them.
The man's masculine face darkened. The salutation that I had been accustomed to suddenly became a little harsh. It seems to remind them of the age gap." YU Zi. I'm a friend of your father. But also much younger than your father. Don't call me uncle. Sounds weird. And don't use honorific titles."
Yu Zi raised her eyebrows in some surprise. Because for his father's friend Yu Zi has always been called that. It's not a matter of age. It's a matter of seniority. The three brothers have never seen him except for Yu Zi's brother. Yu Zi and Qianyu have been calling him "Uncle Ji".
Didn't expect to see each other for years. I even mind the title. Could it be that growing up made him feel that this title has become old?
Yu Zi chuckled, "Okay. But you really haven't changed anything over the years. He looks very young."
Took a sip of green tea." In the blink of an eye, you're all so old......" Xue Wei subconsciously sighed.
Yu Zi's face changed. Xue Jian seemed to realize something. Now Yu Zi is the only one left in the family. And where do you come from?
Xue Wei smiled bitterly. I mean you. You've grown up. Very beautiful eyes. Like your mom. This dress up well. Otherwise, there must be a lot of annoying flies that will harass you all day long."
Yu Zi lowered his head. Looking through the lenses at the emerald green tea. Smoke fills the lenses. It was covered with a thin layer of white mist. Covers the beautiful eyes.
"She. . . Are you okay?" Yu Zi holds the teacup with both hands. The joints are even a little whitish due to exertion.
Xue Yu nodded. In recent years, the condition has stabilized. As long as you don't hear the dog barking. will not get sick. But I still don't know people."
Yu Zi sighed. So many years. How is it still like this. The only loved one in the world. But he was mentally tormented. Money and advanced machines don't seem to be able to cure my mother's illness. What the hell is he going to do.
"Yu Zi. Do you want to go and see her. When she's quiet, it's as if she's not sick. I don't recognize you though. But she must miss you very much in her heart." Xue Jian thought of the beautiful but mentally tortured woman. I can't help but sigh that the world is impermanent.
Yu Zi pursed his lips. Can I really go see her. Will not disturb her rest. Otherwise, forget it. I'm ready to leave the city. Go to the next place. I'm sure you'll take care of her. Thank you."
Yu Zi's eyelashes drooped. After all, I haven't seen my mother for many years. Naturally, I still hope to see each other. Xue Yu could also guess a little bit of Yu Zi's thoughts.
"It's time to change cities. When to go." Xue Yu asked with concern.
Yu Zi took a big sip of tea. I got my salary today. Car at night. Stay in a different city. Change your mood."
"Let's go, Yu Zi. You're all getting out of here. Listen to me. Come with me to see your mother." Xue Yu stood up. Stretch out your hand.
Yu Zi hesitated. Oh well."
The car has been gone for a long time. Entered a very large sanatorium. Don't look at the remote place. But it is the most suitable place for the mentally ill to recuperate. In front is a verdant forest. There is also a beautiful creek in the back. Surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is very beautiful.
Because there is one of the largest mental hospitals in the area right next to it. So there are also a lot of nurses and machines in the nursing home. There is no concern that there is no one to take care of the patient.
Yu Zi got out of the car. This is where my mother lived for a few years. It's the first time he's here. It's not that I didn't want to come to see her. But I don't know what expression to use to face my mother, who was emotional and had a distorted face at the onset of the disease. It was a feeling of a knife in the heart.
Xue Yu looked at Yu Zi with encouraging eyes. Yu Zi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. Let's go inside."
At this time, the mentally ill people in the sanatorium are moving freely. But Yu Zi's mother is quieter. She would just sit quietly in her room. Whispering while holding her three pillows.
When Yu Zi walked to the door of her mother's room, she saw such a scene: the years had left wrinkles on the woman's face. But it doesn't detract from her beauty. It seems to look more charming. She was holding a small pillow in her arms. Muttering something.
"She was quieter when she first came here. Not a word. But as soon as you are stimulated, you will suddenly become irritable. There were a few times when the nurse forgot to put the knife away because the nurse had peeled the fruit, and she even took the knife and tried to cut someone. It's a lot better now. When she wasn't sick, she would just sit and talk. Rarely hurt others again......"
Xue Yu stood beside Yu Zi and whispered about the woman's condition. Yu Zi leaned on the door and listened. It's still exactly the same sound as I remember. So many years. It hasn't changed.
"Haoran. Are you having a cold. Ah. Ah Zi, be nice. My brother seems to be sick. Mom takes a look at him first. I'll feed you later...... Qianyu. What happened to you. Yikes. I had a fever. What can I do?" The woman suddenly became anxious. The intonation has also been raised. A frightened expression. She took turns looking at her three "children", which were actually three pillows.
Yu Zi was shocked. He remembers our names."
Xue Wei was also a little confused." The nurse did say she was awake at times. I think she's in a hurry right now. I'll take a look."
Yu Zi nodded. Xue Wei walked in. The woman raised her head at the sound. He looked at Xue Ji with a pleading look." You're here. Haoran and Qianyu seem to be sick. What to do. There's no medicine here......"
The woman's anxiety and helplessness is very poignant. Yu Zi clutched the door. The heart is like someone tearing it open. The pain is unbearable.
Xue Jian had told the woman early on that he was a good friend of her husband. So Yu Zi's mother trusted him very much. He is also more friendly.
"Let me see, okay. It's okay to go somewhere. You see. He smiled. It's beautiful. Haoran did have some colds. But it's fine. I've given him the medicine. It'll be fine right away. Azi fell asleep. This kid is growing up very well. You see......"
Xue Ji's calm and magnetic voice carried a reassuring feeling. The woman really listened to Xue Ji's words. Carried the "child" from his arms. It's true. It's all right. They're all right. Scared my mother to death."
The woman sobbed softly. Tightly hugged the three "children" into his arms.
Yu Zi stood in place. The stiff leg suddenly took a step forward. Then comes the next step. Slowly walked in front of his mother.
The woman looked up in confusion. Look at Yu Zi." You are."
Yu Zi knelt at her mother's feet on one knee. Can you touch me?"
Yu Zi raised his face. The dark eyes are full of longing. How many years. He didn't dare to get in touch with his mother so closely. But this is obviously the one who gave birth to him.
Without her. There are no of them.
Available now. But she was insane, insane, and insane. I don't even recognize my own children.
The woman raised her hand. stroked Yu Zi's face. Yu Zi subconsciously closed his eyes. It's warm. This feeling.
"Sengo." The woman asked with a frown.
"I'm Azi." Yu Zi said softly.
The woman muttered and repeated, "Azi. A Zi. Is it my Azi?"
But the next second. The woman didn't know what she remembered. The beautiful countenance was distorted with fear." Don't bite him. Let go of my child. Yes. Yes. Yes. Ah......h
The woman's emotions gradually became uncontrollable. A nurse ran in. Coaxed in a low voice. But the woman's condition is getting worse and worse. He even got into a big fight with the nurse. After a tranquilizer is inserted into the arm. The woman finally fell silent.
The woman is lying on the bed. The quiet countenance is peaceful. Yu Zi slowly stood up. Every time. It used to be too. The mother's waking time is always short. Once the initiation of the disease comes. He and Chiyu are both targets of being beaten out of anger.
Yu Zi helped her mother cut her hair. It's a mixed feeling." Let's go."
Xue Yu patted Yu Zi on the shoulder. Don't do this. It's not your fault. It's going to get better."
Yu Zi nodded. Catch up with Xue Yu for a while." I have to go. Gotta go back and pack up some things. So many years. Thank you."
"We're all good friends. Say 'thank you' and you're out there. Go ahead. I'll take care of your mom. Your dad is watching from the sky." Xue Jian chuckled.
Yu Zi was a little moved. All the thanks gathered into a meaningful nod and bow. The two waved their hands separately.
Xue Jian looked at Yu Zi's back. Suddenly called out to him." You have succeeded in taking revenge. Are you happy?"
Yu Zi's expression turned pale for a moment. Happy. If the nightmares of the night and the horror of being psychologically bound can make people happy......
Yu Zi shook his head indescribably. Back inlaid in a warm sunset. Yu Zi seems to be wearing invisible shackles. There seemed to be a black cloud hanging over his head all the time.
Obviously he has escaped from the war. Why is there a feeling that the man is omnipresent?
