Chapter 1: Parting, Betrayal, Hurt

Next Chapter

One day in June 2012, in a ward at the S City People's Hospital. Although it was noon, the sky was overcast and tight, and the wind was blowing fiercely outside, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily. At this time, there was a hint of desolation in the ward, quiet, desolate.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, promise me, live well, I can know you in this life, it is enough to have so many beautiful moments-" The weak rain held Xiao Qiang's hand and said.

"Yuqing, you'll be fine, you can't be so ruthless to leave me behind, leaving me alone in the world, what's the happiness?" Xiaoqiang cried.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, I am very content, people like me who were born with congenital heart disease are really content to live to be 25 years old now. God treats me very fairly, let me know my brother you since I was a child, and I have had so many good days with you, I am really happy to be your wife in this life, and the only regret is that I can't be with you until I grow old. But brother, you have to promise me to live well, take care of our parents, and grandparents, they are also your bonds. Okay?" said this in one breath, Yuqing gasped, and his face turned even paler.

"Yuqing, stop talking, have a good rest, it's going to be fine, everything is going to be fine. It's not good to blame me, after graduation, you are busy with work and entrepreneurship, and I haven't taken good care of you, and I haven't taken you to travel all over those mountains and rivers. I'm going to take pictures for you every day, and remember every day. Xiaoqiang said urgently. Suddenly, Xiaoqiang's mouth was covered by Yuqing's hand.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, don't, I can't sleep, I don't dare to sleep, you let me finish, I'm afraid I won't say it, and I won't have a chance in the future." Yuqing said while coughing, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and his face became whiter and whiter.

"Promise me, Brother Xiaoqiang, you must live well, I will know you in the next life, be your wife, and I will accompany you until I am old in the next life. By the way, I put a letter in your office before, behind the big photo album, where there are the things I want to leave you and the things I want to leave for you!" Yuqing leaned on Xiaoqiang's chest, tears dripping down, gradually soaking Xiaoqiang's shirt. Yuqing's hand touched Xiaoqiang's face, and his voice gradually faded away, "Promise-I-live well-don't feel sorry for me-, in the next life, I-I'll be your wife again-"

I saw Yuqing's hand suddenly slip off Zhang Qiang's face - and then closed his eyes peacefully. Feeling the rain on his chest, his body gradually cooled, and his eyes were slowly wet with tears, Zhang Qiang at this time was like falling into a boundless hell, his eyes were full of boundless darkness - the rain outside the window seemed to feel Zhang Qiang's sadness, the heavy rain was pouring down, mixed with thunder -

Suddenly, Zhang Qiang's mobile phone on the bedside table of the hospital bed squeaked, Zhang Qiang just subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at it, then hugged the rain, closed his eyes again, and recalled the bits and pieces of the rain in his mind-

I don't know how long it took, Xiaoqiang opened his eyes again, and his phone continued to ring. Picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, it was his iron buddy Liu Yan calling, after the phone was connected, Liu Yan's impatient voice came from the other end of the mobile phone: "Brother Qiang, I've been calling you for so long, why did you answer it?

"Liu Yan, she's gone-"

"What, Brother Qiang, what are you talking about? Hey, hey, are you still there, Brother Qiang, I'm in the basement, the signal is not good, what do you think we should do next?"

"I mean, the rain is gone, and you can't wake up again - you can do it yourself!"

"Ah, won't you? Then, then, then you take care, Brother Qiang, don't be too sad, if you have anything to help call me, I'll go back to the company first-"

Zhang Qiang hung up the phone helplessly, and then called his parents, saying that the rain was gone, and Zhang Qiang's mother's eager caring voice came from the phone: "Qiang Zai, don't be sad, don't do stupid things, your father and I are rushing to you, you wait for us to come-"

With the arrival of Zhang Qiang's parents, Zhang Qiang and his parents discussed the aftermath of Yuqing, after all, Yuqing's parents died early, became orphans at a very young age, were adopted by Zhang Qiang's parents, and grew up with Zhang Qiang - according to Yuqing's last wishes, Yuqing wanted to return to his roots and be buried next to his parents in his hometown.

Before returning to his hometown, Zhang Qiang told his parents that he wanted to go back to the company. He's going to pick up the letter that Yuqing left for him.

In the evening after the rain, the breeze was light, bringing coolness to the passers-by on the street, but at this time, Zhang Qiang had no time to feel the coolness, more of a heartache and coldness - he just wanted to go to the office to get the letter, and then go back to accompany Yuqing, because he still had a lot of things to say to Yuqing-

Zhang Qiang came downstairs to the company, inadvertently saw the light in his office on, frowned, felt like something had happened, and then shook his head and walked straight towards the company. As soon as he entered the gate of the company, he heard the voice of his buddy Liu Yan: "Mr. Wang, is it okay to accompany the bid in the afternoon? Don't worry, Zhang Qiang's kid doesn't know." Continue to cooperate in the future, and remember to bring my little brother with me when you make a fortune. Haha-what, go to that club again, next time my little brother invites you, not tonight, I'm going to the hospital later, look at Zhang Qiang, his wife just passed away, do you still want to make a show, haha-"

Zhang Qiang walked along the aisle of the staff area, slowly walked to the door of his small office, saw that the door was half-hidden, and vaguely saw Liu Yan sitting on Zhang Qiang's chair, shaking with his feet on the desk, and continued to the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, Zhang Qiang's kid is busy with his wife's aftermath now, and he won't check me and you." Now the company basically has the final say, the company is in a recession, I don't want to leave a way back for myself, as the so-called 'people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed'! Having said that, I am still very grateful to Zhang Qiang, after all, he is an old classmate, and he took me into the industry by hand, so I still have to help him watch the company now, look, I won't be here next year, and I will be worthy of him at that time. Haha-"

At this time, Zhang Qiang was furious, kicked the door open, took an arrow step, raised his hand and gave Liu Yan a punch, and said angrily: "What a 'man does not destroy for himself', you are like this to your good brother I, I owe you to treat you as my best brother, and the company's affairs are handed over to you to take care of, and I raised an Aries wolf!"

Liu Yan fell to the ground by this punch, and the mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground. Liu Yan, who had been relieved for a long time, said in a trembling voice: "Brother Qiang, why are you here, shouldn't you accompany your sister-in-law in the hospital? I was about to go to the hospital, by the way, has my sister-in-law's funeral been arranged? Zhang Qiang didn't say a word, he punched me over again, and roared: "Are you a deaf person and a fool?

"Brother Qiang, it's not what you just heard, I'm just talking casually, I can't take it seriously!" Then Mr. Wang's unique loud voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, hey, Xiao Liu, are you still there? What's wrong?" Zhang Qiang squatted down, picked up Liu Yan's mobile phone on the ground, and scolded angrily at the other end of the phone: "Wang Da bald, count you ruthless, you just betrayed my brother like this, let my brother betray me, do you think I should thank you so much?"

"Don't, Mr. Zhang, I have something to say, we are all brothers, isn't it-" On the other end of the phone, Wang Da bald head hurriedly said. "Yes, good brother, get out of my way, don't let me meet you" After speaking, Zhang Qiang smashed his mobile phone on the ground-

At this time, Liu Yan slowly got up from the ground and begged: "Brother Qiang, I don't want to, I'm also here to live, I want to make more money." It's the little brother who is wrong, I'm sorry for you, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you to let the little brother go this time, okay? Even if it's for so many years, I still have a brotherhood with your classmates, please, Brother Qiang!"

"You get out, go as far as you want, I don't want to see you in the future. Zhang Qiang said angrily, and after speaking, he turned his back to Liu Yan.

"Brother Qiang, take care of yourself, sister-in-law is gone, please mourn, don't think about it!" Liu Yan said in a trembling voice. "Brother Qiang, I'll go first, take care-" Then he ran madly towards the door--faintly heard the sound of a body hitting the table outside in the hallway, and then only heard a muffled grunt, and then the footsteps became quieter and quieter-

Holding back the pain and anger, Zhang Qiang walked to the filing cabinet behind his desk, found the large photo album placed in the middle of the filing cabinet, flipped it over, saw a bulging envelope sandwiched behind the large photo album, opened it and took out an embroidered bag embroidered with lotus flowers, a letter paper full of words and a voice recorder. Zhang Qiang knew at a glance that it was embroidered by Yuqing, (because the lotus is Yuqing's favorite flower, and the lotus is the gentleman in the flower, symbolizing a personality of "out of the mud without staining", and also symbolizing loyalty, purity, or humility, tranquility, honesty, etc.) For this reason, Zhang Qiang often laughed at Yuqing, saying that she should live in ancient times, not in modern times. touched things and made Zhang Qiang feel sad-

"Brother Qiang, when you see this letter, it is estimated that I will no longer be alive. See the key in the embroidery bag? That's the key to the safe I stored in the commercial bank of S City, which contains the birthday gift I prepared for you, from next year to the next 60 years, I think my current body, I'm afraid I can't accompany you for your birthday anymore, let these gifts accompany you. Look at you, your brows are furrowed again, aren't you? Are you thinking about playing me on the head again! I guess when you see me giving you this letter, you won't even be able to play me! Thinking of this, I can't help but want to ask you, I'm so stupid now, have you been played by you since I was a child? You won't be allowed to play me like this again in your next life? Hehe-hee-hee

Also, I have been frail and sick since I was a child, and I always ask my brother to carry me to school, and now I am always in a dream, back to the way you carried me to school, and there is always the laughter of 'Zhu Bajie carrying a daughter-in-law' behind me - whoever let you go to college was chubby. Hehe--what annoys me the most is that you obviously have such good grades, and my grades have always been bad, you actually deliberately failed in the college entrance examination, just to be in the same university as me, for which you have been scolded a lot, now think about you are really stupid, so stupid-

Okay, stop laughing at you. Brother Xiaoqiang, I am in this world, just you and our parents, as well as our younger brother and grandparents. I want to go with you again. I'm afraid that I might leave one day, so I'll secretly write this letter and prepare these gifts while you're busy.

By the way, I still remember that you and I went to Jiuhua Mountain two years ago and met a pair of lotus Bodhi bracelets given to me by a very old master. At that time, the master said that I will die soon, and said that your future is blurred, and there is your shadow in the world and the underworld; the master said that this bracelet can help you if necessary, but you didn't think so, but the result is that I won, and you still wear it obediently, and you will continue to 'bully' you like this in the next life - I hope that after I leave, you can find someone who can accompany you through this life, and bring my bracelet to her?

Also, promise me, after I leave, remember to complete my and your trip to the four famous Taoist mountains, the four famous Buddhist mountains, and those famous Buddhist and Taoist mountains, who made me believe in Buddhism, you learned some Taoist secret arts, and I forced you to believe in Buddhism. Hehe-I remember that every time I go to a place, I want to help my parents pray for their blessings, but don't be lazy, burn some photos and I'll take a look at them when the time comes, otherwise I'll be over with you in the next life. Hmph -

There are so many words, but I don't know what to write when I pick up the pen. Why don't I be lazy and record what I think of every day? I really don't want to leave you like this, and I want to be with you until I grow old. Woo-"

Zhang Qiang looked at the letter written to him by Yuqing word by word, and his eyes were already wet with tears - when he saw that the payment was "I hope you live happily and happily, the girl who doesn't grow up in your eyes, Yuqing". Zhang Qiang felt dark, and his body was shaky-

The day after Yuqing's death, Zhang Qiang went through the relevant procedures for Yuqing in the hospital, met his parents and younger brother who arrived, and drove back to Stone Village in F County, a small county in J Province in the south, with Yuqing's body.

For three whole days, Ah Wen held Yuqing's hand in front of Yuqing's body, did not eat or drink, and did not let others touch Yuqing, he wanted to put on Yuqing's makeup again, put on her favorite clothes, and use a box to pack Yuqing's favorite jewelry and so on. He muttered to himself: "Xiaoqing, how can you be so ruthless to leave me behind and leave me alone in the world? You are really ruthless, you let my brother live like this in the future?"

On the day of Yuqing's funeral, Zhang Qiang wrote a memorial poem for Yuqing:

"My sister in the rain, I have known each other since childhood; childhood sweethearts, enrolled in school together; heart pain, tortured for several years, do not say that you are bitter; look in my eyes, the pain is in my heart; I read you back, what I want, not that I am stupid, and you are in pain; ears and temples are grinding, green years; ten years of cold windows, the same university; I am willing to take the college entrance examination, only for the same school, so as to take care of them; four years of college, in and out of the pair, the feelings are deep, very happy; three years of graduation, dedicated to entrepreneurship, as everyone knows, you have gradually entered the terminal, so far I think about it, it is a lifelong regret -

Over the past few years, you and I have been separated by yin and yang; even though there are a thousand kinds of customs, who will I say to? If there is an afterlife, I will swear to grow old with you! The sky can grow old, the sea can be turned over, how difficult is it to love to the depths? Look at me -- in this life, who is the peak and loop turned into hard work, and who is busy for? May the gods and Buddhas of heaven bless my little sister, the six realms of reincarnation, without suffering, and I will grow old hand in hand with you in the next life!"

In front of the rain grave, as soon as Zhang Qiang finished reading and burning the memorial poem with fire, Zhang Qiang spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and then he was dizzy and staggered and fainted. I faintly heard the shouts of my parents in my ears, as well as my grandfather's words: "Hurry up and take him back to rest, the blood that is holding in his heart spurts out, and he spit out his heart, it's no big deal." (In fact, when Zhang Qiang fainted, an incredible thing happened, that is, Zhang Qiang's lotus Bodhi Buddha bead bracelet suddenly glowed with golden light, and a white light quickly inhaled into a Buddha bead - of course, this is a later story.) )
