Goodbye, Mom!
The next day, we went to claim the body, and when we went out, Zhang Hengli also followed, saying, "I will go to CR too!" ”
"What's that?" I asked.
"CorpseRetrieval, retrieve the corpse."
"You still know English?"
Zhang Yi said: "Game language. ”
"Zhang Yi still understands me!" Zhang Hengli said.
"You can't go!" I say.
"I have to go, you two girls go into that kind of place, I don't worry about it!"
"Hey, just forget it, hurry back!" I pushed him: "You can't wait to go into the playground when you go to the hospital, this is a morgue!" There are still living people in the hospital, only dead people in the morgue! ”
"Prejudice, discriminate against me!" He glared angrily and said: "I'm not the timid Zhang Hengli I used to be, you have a problem with your braincase, I just have a shadow on the hospital inpatient building, okay, I'm not afraid of a morgue like that, okay?" When my mom scared me when I was a kid, she never mentioned the morgue, right? Where did I come from? ”
"You're not afraid of me, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll have to save you!" I say.
"You're going to give me a chance to perform!" Zhang Hengli hugged Zhang Yi's arm and said.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he agreed to take him there.
We arrived at Hospital X and were led down to the basement, through long hallways, through several doors, to a room. I got more and more nervous along the way, and so should the two of them, and we just followed the staff, didn't say a word, and didn't dare to breathe.
The morgue was really gloomy, about 100 square meters, and the wall we faced was divided into small compartments, each with a numbered plaque on it, and from the knowledge gained from the TV and movies, we knew that there were corpses in the grid.
My legs were straight and weak, my whole body began to tremble, and I unconsciously stepped back until I stepped on Zhang Hengli in the back. Zhang Hengli was even more frightened, his eyes rolled wildly, he took out his mobile phone in a panic, and said that he had equipment to grab, and he also pushed me forward and slapped me.
"Why are you pushing me?" I was already scared, but when he pushed, I was even more scared.
"You, you, stay away from me, how many times have I told you not to wear this dress, Bai Huahua, you are very much like that now......"
"Like what?"
His voice was as low as a mosquito: "I don't dare to say it." ”
I was about to stare at him, but Zhang Yi, who was standing at the front, suddenly shouted: "Damn, it really looks like our company's filing cabinet!" ”
Zhang Hengli and I looked at each other. The staff pulled out a lattice, and I couldn't help but take another step back, not stepping on Zhang Hengli, he didn't know when he had quietly stood next to me.
Then he heard the sound of the zipper being opened, Zhang Yi looked at it and said, "Yes." ”
My fear suddenly lessened, and I walked forward steadily, and saw the face of the man lying there, misty, pale, serene, frozen like a stone.
"Zhang Hengli, didn't you say that her bones are not cold? Why is it like this? I said distressedly.
"I didn't do it!" Zhang Hengli said fearfully.
This is Yi Xu's mother, this eyebrow, this eye, this mouth, and this body, which have formed his only relatives in the world for many years, are now like a hard stone, unable to move, frozen in this small grid. How glad I am to deal with all this today, how painful it should be to see this cold and cruel scene!
"Auntie...... "My nose was sore, and I was just about to lyricalize when the staff pushed the lattice again.
"Identify the project and select it." He handed me a piece of paper, which was a detailed project quotation form, how much was a shroud, how much makeup was, how much was a wreath, etc.
"How much does a full set cost?" I asked. I'll have to send her away in style, there's no memorial service, I have to do everything else! In the future, I will have to explain this matter to Yi Xu, the more I do now, the less regrets Yi Xu can have, right?
"Add the cost of staying here for so many days, two hundred a day, and I will remove the change for you, a total of twenty-nine thousand."
"Twenty-nine thousand?" I was so surprised that I almost jumped.
"It's so expensive!" Zhang Yi was also surprised.
I looked at my aunt's cold face and said, "Auntie, we can't afford to die, or you will come back to life, right?" ”
Zhang Yi floated to my side and said, "This is useless to her, she is quite rich, and it is no problem to die thousands of times." ”
The staff member asked, "There is another gentleman who sent it at the same time, don't you receive it?" ”
"No money!" I said, "Didn't he have anyone to pick it up?" ”
"Not yet."
"You open it and show her." I pointed to Zhang Yi and said to the staff.
"Don't look!" Zhang Yi didn't think for a second and solemnly refused.
"I heard that he was dead and dead, what if the news was wrong? The police didn't know him before he died, and you didn't see the body after his death, so what if you weren't talking about the same person? What if the corpse is scammed? ”
"Brain-dead you!" Zhang Yi scolded and said to the staff, "Show me, there are people in the filing cabinet, don't look at it!" ”
As soon as the lattice pulled out a head, there was a sudden sound behind him, and there was a sound of hitting the ground, and when he looked back, Zhang Hengli fell to the ground.
"Damn, I'm scared!" Zhang Yi held his head and pinched people, but he didn't respond for a while.
"Let's send it to the emergency room, isn't this a hospital?" I said as I lifted Zhang Hengli's feet.
Zhang Yi and I were barely able to lift up.
"Do me a favor, we don't think we can lift it!" Zhang Yi said to the staff.
The staff came over and lifted their feet, sighing as they lifted: "I have always sent people here from the emergency room, and today I sent them back for the first time!" ”
Zhang Yi and I didn't have time to talk to him at all, so one person and one arm rushed back the same way.
Zhang Hengli was given first aid by a doctor and two nurses, and we heard the doctor ask outside the curtain, "What is your name?" ”
Zhang Hengli's small voice came: "Damn, I'm scared to death!" ”
The doctor wanted to make sure he was conscious and asked, "Do you remember your name?" ”
"This can't be a hospital, is it?" Zhang Hengli's voice was a little louder, but he still didn't answer the question.
"This is a hospital, do you know your name?" Another nurse asked. Zhang Hengli was silent for a long time.
Zhang Yi lifted the curtain and yelled at Zhang Heng: "If you don't answer their questions seriously, you won't be discharged from the hospital!" ”
When Zhang Hengli heard this, he said obediently: "My name is Zhang Hengli, male, 25 years old, unmarried, I'm not bloodless, I'm so white!" ”
After the doctor determined that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Hengli, Zhang Hengli shouted to hurry home, the hospital was terrifying! I couldn't hold him back, and Zhang Yi persuaded him to stay for a brain scan with a slap in the face. We didn't see him when he collapsed in the morgue, and the loud noise made her very uncomfortable.
Zhang Hengli trembled and said, "What if your uncle is in this hospital?" ”
Zhang Yi said: "If he dares to touch you, I will make him a ghost, and he will have to die again!" ”
I want to wait for Zhang Hengli to finish his brain scan before going to the morgue with Zhang Yi.
"We're not going, we're going to have to do a full body check." She said.
"I can wait for you!"
"You may not be able to finish it today, even if you finish it, you will go home and rest, you will not go to the morgue, you will go by yourself."
I was anxious and said, "I didn't actually see it too clearly just now, what if I still burned someone else's mother?" She said, "It's my business!" ”
I went back to the morgue alone, swiped 29,000, and purchased a full service of the mortuary plus crematorium. The 20,000 yuan that I finally kidnapped from Zhang Yi is gone, and the money I got in exchange for my mother's gold jewelry is gone.
Zhang Yi knew that I was going to buy a full set and lost her temper in the hospital lobby, she felt that there was no need to buy the whole package at all, just choose a few necessary items, everyone was dead, what are you doing with all this superficial effort? I guess this one-person funeral is the only way to make it look a little more complete. I know I'm irrational, but I'm even more afraid that my sanity will hurt my feelings. Zhang Hengli didn't bring his wallet out, Zhang Yi took his own money to pay his examination fees and medical expenses.
For the next few hours, I walked through hell on earth. I listened to the whole time: "Stand this way!" "Stand over there!" Do yourself a favor! "Give it a boost!"
They changed the aunt's clothes in an orderly and clean manner, put on makeup, sent them to the car, cremated, and put the ashes into the altar, one link after another, in an orderly manner, just like a machine running, one part drives another, one process after another, there is no error, and there is no temperature. Only the girl with makeup secretly said something more to her colleague: this person is so old, his skin is still so good, and he is as detailed as porcelain.
Maybe when a person leaves, the world doesn't feel pain in the first place, except for people who are really close to them.
I completely returned to the past when I was deeply in love with Yi Xu, and experienced this farewell with the heart that was deeply in love with him.
I didn't leave a single step, even if I couldn't bear to look at it sometimes, I just turned my head and didn't walk away.
They all thought I was her daughter, so they told me all the time, "Help change your mother's clothes", "Help your mother", "Come and lift your mother", and some people also told me before the cremation, "Say goodbye to your mother at the end".
The language is emotionless, and they say the same thing to too many people. But I think that with my aunt's always cheerful personality, I should be a little happy to hear the word "mother" so many times before turning to ashes!
I also called out to my mother many times in my heart. I used to think that I was going to go with Yi Xu for the rest of my life, so I would definitely call her "Mom" for many years. I secretly thought about it a long time ago, I would call her "Mommy" and I would call my own mother "Mommy" so that I could tell the difference. I heard her crisp voice on the phone, but I never had time to say a word, and I didn't even have time to call my aunt. Back then, I was too sure that the two of them would have to go together for a long half of their lives, so they were not in a hurry. It's too late to call your aunt and mom now. The mother who called in my heart today is for Yi Xu, I can't call for myself, I believe that her soul has not gone far, I don't want to occupy this precious time, this should be only for her and her son alone.
I thought of myself as Yi Xu, and kept talking to her in my heart:
Mom, I'm going to change your clothes. I know that this shroud is not as good as your evening dress full of cabinets, but by wearing this, you can go to heaven more lightly, and there are more beautiful clothes in heaven, and you can go up and buy and wear whatever you like.
Mom, this makeup artist is going to put on your makeup, your face is so pale, I'll ask her to add some blush to you. Mom, do you prefer to draw your eyebrows a little thicker or thinner? Do you like lipstick in this color? It doesn't matter, if you don't like it, let's bear with it this time, forgive it once, no matter how it changes, you are the most beautiful in the child's heart!
Mom, we're leaving this gloomy room, if it hurts you when we move you, you'll be like you lost your wallet and fell before, just smile, whether you're here or in heaven, I'm most proud of having a very cheerful mother!
Mom, they said, let me say my final goodbye to you. Yes, Mom, you're leaving, no matter what way, through whose mouth or heart, we should say goodbye well. Mom, I thank you for giving me life and raising me alone; I thank you for laughing, so my life is not bad even if I am lonely; I thank you for carrying a home on your weak shoulders, supporting me, giving me education, giving me a worry-free life, and making me a confident person since I was a child; I thank you for being like a friend, giving me trust and freedom, so that I can always have a life that is freer, more interesting and more self-chosen than my peers; Thanks to your smart genes, a woman supports a family and supports a company, and this talent has been passed on to me, so I am versatile and humorous; Mom, thank you for giving me a lot of love like no other, so that I know how to love you, how to love people, and how to love the world!
When I finished my final farewell, my aunt was pushed in, I didn't dare to look, and by the time someone told me to "come out", I was already in front of me with white bones. And this was not the most cruel, the two crematorium workers broke her bones one by one, put them in the jar, and put the skull on top, the jar was a little small, and they pressed it with their white-gloved hands: "click", and the altar closed. I'm like a boneless umbrella, directly defeated on the ground, if it's Yi Xu who is here now, how can he stand it? His lively mother was burned and smashed as an object, and his flesh and blood turned into ashes, bones, ashes, and finally had to be ravaged again, how much his heart hurt!
Mother and son, son and mother, crying bitterly without light during the day.
I couldn't help crying and helping Yi Xu say a few words to my aunt: "Mom, if you didn't hear the previous words too clearly, you must listen to these last words: Mom, I am Yi Xu, and I am most grateful that you are my mother!" Thank you for being such a good mother! Mom, your son loves you! ”
