Chapter 18: The Death of Ma Jun
"Me? I'm Zhuo Ran! Let's ......" I was already a little confused by him, but a thought flashed through my mind, and I realized that Ma Jun's words were probably not untargeted nonsense, maybe it was related to the secrets surrounding me!
I immediately approached Ma Jun, stared at him and asked, "What's the difference between us?" What's the secret here?"
Ma Jun smiled miserably, "What did I do wrong in my last life, and let me encounter such a thing in this life!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me, his gaze a little glazed, "What's the difference between you and me?" Ma Jun suddenly smiled and pointed to himself, "I'm like a disposable lighter, seeing that my life is exhausted, I can't do anything!" You're different, and you still have a chance. But," Ma Jun suddenly couldn't help laughing halfway through his words, and he couldn't breathe from laughing, "but...... There is a chance...... What's the use of having a chance...... It is nothing more than dust to dust, and dust to dust...... It's like the wind...... Floating here..... ...... in the air Hahaha....." Ma Jun was already laughing and lying on the bed.
I was a little anxious and pulled him up, "What the hell are you talking about!" ”
Ma Jun put away his smile and looked at me very seriously, "We will go back there eventually!" ”
"There?" I grabbed Ma Jun's shoulders and shook them, "Where are you going?" You make it clear!! ”
Ma Jun turned his head and looked ahead a little blankly, "Can't you see?" The chaos in the darkness, the passage between one world and another. You stand on the edge of a cliff, and with a slight jump and blending into the white mist, you'll be back where you came from. ”
At first glance, Ma Jun seemed to be talking nonsense, but the strange thing is that I listened to Ma Jun's narration and actually had a familiar feeling. I was secretly frightened in my heart, could it be true that Ma Jun said it was true, how could I feel this way, but soon I realized that the reason why I felt this way was because I had been to a similar place, because I felt that the place Ma Jun was talking about was very similar to describing the Void Eye!
My eyes widened suddenly, "You, have you been to the Eye of the Void?" ”
Ma Jun looked at me a little confused, "Void Eyes? What is that place? ”
From Ma Jun's expression, I could tell that he really didn't know this place, but why was the place he described so similar to the Void Eye? I don't believe it's a coincidence. I suddenly remembered again the experience that my second uncle had told me about Ma Jun a long time ago. Ma Jun's performance today, as well as his changes, are likely to be related to the experience of Qilianshan that year.
I pondered for a while, and then slowly said to Ma Jun word by word: "Uncle Ma, what did you experience in Qilian Mountain back then?" ”
As soon as I asked this question, Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body trembled like an electric shock. I was startled, and before I could react, Ma Jun had collapsed on the bed, and his breathing became rapid. I didn't know how to take the pulse like that of my second uncle, so I quickly reached out and touched his heartbeat.
At this time, Ma Jun's heartbeat had become very weak, and his heart rate was very slow.
I know that things are not good, seeing that Ma Jun's physical condition began to decline rapidly, I was a little panicked, I remember learning first aid when I was in school, I still remember the method of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and I don't know if Ma Jun's current state is suitable for this, but at this time, I can't take care of it so much, I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
I was trying to rescue Ma Jun, when there was movement outside the door, and the second uncle and Lantern Xiao pushed the door and walked in. As soon as they saw this scene, both of them were a little stunned, and Lantern Xiao immediately asked, "What?" Is he not good again? ”
I shook my head as I continued to press Ma Jun's chest, "I was fine just now, but as I was talking, I suddenly collapsed." ”
The second uncle pushed me away, stepped forward to support Ma Jun, and carefully looked at his eyes, as well as the consumption of pulses. Lantern Xiao asked the second uncle, "Second uncle, what is the situation?" ”
The second uncle sighed, shook his head and said, "He didn't recover just now, he was back to light." ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, I had seen something mentioned in the book before, but now I didn't expect to see it here, which shows that Ma Jun is really not good.
Ma Jun was now lying on the bed again, with a smile on his lips, and I knew that this was the last burning of his last remaining life.
The second uncle turned to me and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
I said with some hesitation: "I, I asked him, what did you experience in Qilian Mountain back then?" ”
As soon as I said this, Lantern Xiao was excited, and I also told him about what my second uncle told me about Ma Jun before.
Lantern Xiao suddenly jumped on the earthen kang of Ma Jun's house, lowered his body and asked, "Uncle Ma, Ma Jun!" What the hell was going on back then?? Lantern Xiao asked twice, but Ma Jun didn't answer, just kept panting for a short time.
The second uncle suddenly pushed Lantern Xiao aside and yelled loudly: "Shut up!" Ma Jun's brain was bad because of that incident back then, and now that he has run out of oil, why do you still use this incident to stimulate him! There is no humanity, can't he walk quietly!! ”
It's rare for my second uncle to get so angry, and I really feel that this is inappropriate when I think about it, and I can't help but feel guilty. Lantern Xiao also returned to the ground in a huff. The second uncle calmed down for a moment, turned his head to us and said, "I know what you want to know, Ma Jun once told me about those things, I can tell you what I know." ”
After speaking, the second uncle took out an acupuncture bag and pierced several acupuncture points of Ma Jun. Soon the situation of the Ma army stabilized somewhat, but it did not fundamentally improve. The second uncle pulled out a silver needle again, and when he was about to apply the needle again, he suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, he looked at Ma Jun's face, shook his head gently, and reached out to pull out all the needles on Ma Jun's body.
Lantern Xiao asked out loud: "Second uncle, what are you ......" The second uncle waved his hand and reached out to tidy up the clothes on Ma Jun's body, "He should go!" "The second uncle and Ma Jun have known each other for many years, although Ma Jun has some problems in his brain, but from this period of time, I can see that the second uncle has always regarded Ma Jun as a normal person. When the second uncle turned his back to us and said this, his tone was full of sadness.
Lantern Festival and I also stood solemnly immediately, and our hearts were also very uncomfortable. Suddenly, Ma Jun turned his head to look at us vigorously, his eyes were eager, we didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, but Ma Jun was speechless at this time, his arm moved, as if to signal to us but did not raise it.
I looked at Ma Jun as if he was looking behind us, and I turned to find a cabinet against the wall. I walked over and opened the cabinet door, and when I saw what was inside, I couldn't help but feel emotion and awe. In the cabinet, there is a neatly stacked military uniform, which can be seen to be an old-style military uniform, which should have been worn by the Ma Army when he was discharged from the army.
I understand what Ma Jun means, when he wears a military uniform, it is the most glorious and nostalgic time in his life, and he will never forget it until he dies!
I took out my military uniform and put it beside Ma Jun, and Ma Jun's eyes showed a look of contentment. He slowly looked away from his uniform, and finally turned to look at me. In the eye with him, I saw the light in his eyes, which quickly dimmed, and then tilted his head and closed his eyes. I let out a long sigh and couldn't help but sour my nose, I knew that Ma Jun was dead!
Although apart from the second uncle, the friendship between us and Ma Jun is not too deep, but despite this, the moment Ma Jun took his last breath, the atmosphere in the room instantly became a little sad.
Soon, someone from the village went through the relevant procedures for Ma Jun, and he was directly taken to the crematorium for cremation.
I didn't expect Ma Jun to really return to dust in such a way as he said, but in fact, I know that what he just said to me means something else. Although there is no way to ask him for verification, the words he said to me at that time have been lingering in my ears.
When everyone came back from the crematorium and was ready to be buried, they didn't expect it to rain heavily.
