Chapter I
The corridors of the hospital were filled with the smell of medicines and disinfectants, the seats on both sides of the aisles were already full, and outside the operating room, a couple walked anxiously back and forth, anxiety and uneasiness written on the couple's faces.
"You can sit down for a while, now you can't walk around again, right?" Voices emerged from the many family members of the patients sitting on the sidelines. The man turned to look at the crowd, and everyone's eyes were also focused on the man, and the man nodded awkwardly, and without saying anything, he said to his wife, "Wife, go and sit down for a while." ”
The woman only tilted her head slightly, her eyes had begun to become moist, and she muttered, "How... Sit down. ”
The man didn't know how to comfort the woman, so he just stood silently in place, and after a while... Due to the pressure of the family members present, the man had to drag his wife to sit aside, and kept raising his hand to signal the impolite behavior he had just done when he sat down. A family member on the side said: "It's okay, we are all waiting, see that you are in a hurry, everyone will be in a hurry." ”
"It's... Yes, I'm sorry, it's too much trouble for everyone. The man's eyes began to turn red slightly.
After a moment of silence, the operating door opened.
"Doctor, how is my child! Doctor, doctor! The man asked anxiously, tugging at the doctor's coat with both hands.
"Family, calm down, you haven't been notified of your child yet, and the child is still being examined..."
"The family members of Zhang Gou in the back... Now the patient needs the signature of the family..."
"Here it is! , Doctor... My dog will be fine..."
"Rest assured, we will take care of your child's healing, and now we need your signature..."
"Well... Here it is. ”
The man reluctantly stepped back and sat down in the waiting chair, and the woman leaned over and hugged her husband, and the two encouraged each other in this way.
Before I knew it, after a period of time, "Patient Song Jingran's family!"
"Here! Doctor how my child, it's okay now. The couple stood up almost at the same time.
"I'm sorry, there are two bad news at the moment, I hope you are prepared,"
"You tell me what happened to my child first, I don't care if it's good or bad." The woman on the side dragged the doctor and said loudly. Tears have jumped out of his eyes without obeying the call.
"At present, the situation is more serious, the child's brain tumor has become extremely dangerous, because the child is less than a month, the body function can not withstand the huge amount of drug impact, now can only be temporarily suppressed by a small amount of medicine, but there is still the possibility of recurrence at any time......
After listening to what the doctor said, the faces of the couple turned pale instantly, and the woman sat directly on the ground.
"Then my child is ......", the man blurted out with a trembling voice without having time to think about it.
The doctor took off his glasses and wiped them a few times before putting them back on, then sighed and continued: "It's not that there is no hope at all, but for the case of a neonatal brain tumor, it is the first time that the hospital has encountered it, and we have no way to complete such an operation, and the situation has been transferred to the general hospital, and it is possible to treat it according to the analysis report given by the general hospital." ”
Hearing this, the already gray eyes of the man and woman showed a glimmer of light.
"Doctor! Anything goes, as long as it can be treated......" Before he could finish speaking, the doctor interrupted.
"This is the second bad news, the surgical treatment is extremely harmful to the newborn, and even the main hospital cannot guarantee that the operation will be successful... And then there's the medical bills......"
Halfway through speaking, the doctor lifted his glasses again, then sighed and continued, "Forget it...... I'll still be clear, the medical expenses will be at least 100,000... And the surgery is very risky......"
After speaking, the man's body also shook and collapsed on the ground.
The doctor did not waver, and the glasses reflected the man's grief and loss, and he leaned down slightly and patted the man on the shoulder......
"You come with me..."
It didn't take long for the doctor and the man to appear in the empty corner of the hospital.
"There are some things that I can't say clearly, although the child has hope for treatment, but after all, the success rate is too small......
"But ......"
"I understand your feelings... I can't say it in front of your wife, there are so many people coming and going in the hospital, what kind of family I haven't met? Depending on your situation, even if you have the opportunity for treatment, you can't afford to pay for medical treatment... It's not that there's no hope. ”
The ...... man was silent, a sense of powerlessness squeezing his chest deeply.
"I don't think I'm going to be a doctor when I say that, but ...... Alas...... Never mind...... It's not like it......"
"Ah......?"
"You're still young...... Let's have another one......"
With that, the doctor turned around, shook his head slightly, and walked out of the corner, leaving only the man alone to stop in the dark corner for a long time.
After another moment, the doctor and the man appeared outside the waiting hall one after another, looking at the woman's haggard expression, the man was also distressed, and quickly stepped forward to comfort him. The doctor also stood beside the two of them.
"The kid is in the observation room now, let's go take a look......" The doctor leaned down and patted the man on the shoulder, a hint of wetness under the heavy lenses.
A moment later, the two followed the doctor to the observation room, and in the small glass cover, a small life was entwined with various threads, and its limbs kept swinging, as if to say,
"Come on, sickness, I'm not afraid of you."
Seeing this, the woman leaned on the glass cover, gently touched the surface of the glass with her hand, and whispered in her mouth: "Jing Ran is so good, don't cry, mother... It's not as good as my little Jing Ran, Jing Ran is going to get better, Mom, I want to take Jing Ran to the outside world and see a lot of beautiful places..."
The man and the doctor stood quietly behind the woman, and the doctor patted the man on the shoulder.
"Let them stay for a while, you go out with me to sign...", and the man quietly walked out of the room with the doctor.
After a while, the doctor forbade the woman to stay in the observation room, and when the woman came out, the whole person's mental state had completely disappeared, and in just a few hours, the woman was sluggish and emaciated, the corners of her eyes were bloated, and her hair was unusually messy. The man stepped forward and put his arms around his wife, and brought her to the chair, where the two snuggled up again, sobbing silently.
"Wife... We're dead," the man said earnestly, no light in his eyes.
"Ah......?" The woman suddenly panicked, and her unkempt face turned to the man.
"How can you... That's your own flesh and blood..."
"But... We don't have the money to cure... And the doctor said," the man tried to explain.
"Send it out... Throw it out into the street... In case, in case it is picked up by a well-wisher..."
"Smack!" Before the words fell, a hard slap was slapped in the man's face, but the woman threw herself into the man's arms after the beating, and cried in pain. Seeing this, the man hugged his wife firmly, perhaps only he knew the powerlessness of this sentence heavier than Tarzan, and he knew that some words had to be said by himself as a husband, and it was a devastating decision...... The two hugged each other and knelt on the ground and cried, snuggling up to each other to accept this painful reality together.
A week later, because they couldn't afford the high medical bills, the couple walked out of the hospital gate with the child in despair, and discussed sending the child out in the following time.
"I don't want to see the child leave in front of me... Maybe there's hope out there... In case someone picks it up, in case..."The man said, and the woman also acquiesced in tears, and the two walked down the street with the child in their arms......
"Let me take another look..."
"We... No one looks... I can't let go of ...... when I see it."
"Let me leave something for Jing Ran... If he had the chance, he might have found us, or we might have found him..."
The ......man did not speak, as if he had acquiesced to the woman's statement, and stood there watching the mother and son sit in their final farewell.
The woman placed a safety lock and a letter in the child's clothes.
"Jing Ran, mom is leaving... It's not that mom doesn't want to take you... Mom is a demon, it's mom that's wrong, I'm sorry Jingran..."
After a while, the two placed the child in a more easily spotted place on the side of the road, turned around and snuggled away.
Until the night, the woman quietly returned to the place where the child was placed, but the child was long gone. When the woman saw it, she hurriedly looked for it, thinking in her heart what if she was not taken away by well-wishers, picked up by human traffickers or taken away by wild beasts. In the dark of night, except for the occasional passing car that can bring a momentary visible vision, the rest is untouchable darkness. As time passed, the woman's physical strength began to decrease, until her mind began to gradually become unclear, and her vision became more and more blurred......
"This station reported that at 23:21 tonight, there was a serious traffic accident on National Highway 101, which caused one death and one injury, the deceased was a woman, and the accident is currently under investigation......"
A few days later, the man, who did not know his wife's whereabouts, received a police summons to go to the police station to claim the body, and the deceased in the car accident was the man's wife......
Half a month later, the man's body was accidentally found by a neighbor, and later I heard that he died because of too much mental pressure and an overdose of sleeping pills......
Time flashed for 7 years, the young child who was born with cancer is now a teenager, but the body looks much thinner than a normal teenager, when he was left by his parents, he was quickly picked up by a passing old man, and the old man also named the child - "Bao", just like that, the old man began to take care of the child carefully, the old man is a bit of a cultured Confucian woman, and there are no children under his knees, so he has a special maternal love for the child who picked it up, which is also the god who perceives the kindness of his grandmother, Or maybe the child's tenacious vitality shocked the gods. The young child grows up slowly under the care of the elderly, and although the body looks relatively weak, it is a great luck to be alive.
The two of them live on the old man's subsistence allowance on weekdays, and the old man is diligent on weekdays, and will pick up some discarded waste bottles and light items to the recycling plant to exchange money, and their lives can be counted as getting by day by day.
Since the teenager is sensible, the old man began to teach the teenager to know some simple Chinese characters, and occasionally when the guests come to the house, they will also let the guests teach themselves, and the current teenagers are not strangers to Chinese characters at all, on the contrary, reading books makes the teenagers have imagination and yearning for the outside world. The teenager is also very sensible at home, and even if he is weak, he will do his best to help the elderly bear part of the labor. The well-wishers who often help them also have an excellent impression of this sensible teenager.
"Bao, you're weak, don't run out if you're fine"
"Got it, grandma."
The young man was weak, and the old man had been aware of the child since he picked it up, so he never let him out of the yard, and even if he went out to pick up old items, he would always tell him to stay at home with peace of mind. And the young man has never complained, he is also aware of his physical condition, and he also knows the old man's intentions for him. … It wasn't until near dusk, when the old man's figure appeared on the hill, that the young man rushed out the door to help the old man into the house.
Every night the boy would ask the old man:
"Grandma... What's the outside world like? ”
His eyes are always full, full of anticipation and yearning, and even if the old man tells the same thing every night, the young man will still be full of joy. Because those are the things that I can only see in shabby books.
"Grandma, I want to go and see the mountains and rivers and high-rise buildings mentioned in the book."
"Don't you look at the mountains and rivers every day?" The old man said with a smile.
"No, grandma......"
"Haha, grandma knows, but you need to wait until you grow up before grandma can rest assured that you will go out......"
"How old is big?" At this time, the old man wrapped his sleeves upward, exposed his withered branch-like arms, pointed at the young man and said, "At least your little skeleton should be the same as grandma, hahahahehe..."
"Ahh How long will it take? ”
"It won't be long... Po will soon grow up. Grandma's tone was a little lower than just now, perhaps knowing in her heart that she might not be able to wait to see her grandson grow up, or that her grandson was already weak and wanted to grow to the extent she said, it might be impossible.
"By the way, grandma... I learned from the books given by those uncles that everyone had a special day - a birthday. ”
"......" heard that the old man was silent for a moment, since he picked up the child, he has not been able to help the child celebrate his birthday, and the successive busyness has almost exhausted the old man's leisure.
"Po wants to celebrate his birthday?"
"Uh-huh! The book says that I can eat a lot of delicious food on my birthday, and I can also make a wish, will my grandmother celebrate my birthday......"
"What is Po's wish?"
"Grandma, you can't say anything like wish, and if you say it, it won't work!"
"Huh? Ha... Ha...... Who told you that? ”
"In the book, and the uncles who taught me seem to mention it."
"Birthday... Po wants to get by, so let's live tomorrow," the old man replied thoughtfully.
"Really! That's great! The young man happily closed his mouth, and his little brain rubbed hard in the old man's arms, and the old man also showed doting eyes, and gently took the young man in his arms... The two hands, like dead branches, were now more supple than wicker.
"Sleep... Tomorrow grandma will give you a birthday. ”
"Hmm—" The boy fell asleep with anticipation.
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, the old man got up, staggered out of the house, the sky was bright, only the rickety old man walked slowly down the mountain in the twilight, the old man's lonely courtyard was lonely on the top of the mountain, except for the birds and beasts accompanied by only the young man, the road down the mountain was very far, and the twilight of the early morning went down in order to pick up more waste for money, and came back to celebrate a birthday for his spoiled grandson. Thinking about it, it has been almost eight years since I picked him up, but I never thought of giving him a birthday, but last night I suddenly mentioned it, and the old man felt a little guilty in his heart......
It's evening. The old man was busy placing the food on a small table, and the young man looked excited and began to gear up.
"yes, it's my birthday!"
"I haven't made a wish yet!"
"That's right! Make a wish, make a wish" said that the young man learned the movements in the book, and made a wish.
"Tell grandma what you want."
"Grandma~!"
"Okay, good, it won't work if you say it, grandma won't ask, let's eat"
"Hey, grandma eats first!"
"Why? Of course, Bao eats first on Bao's birthday. ”
"Grandma... You must have worked hard, to help me celebrate my birthday...... But grandma doesn't seem to have a birthday, so it's better for grandma to be willing, okay? ”
After saying that, a trace of moisture appeared under the old man's sunken eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together and he barely squeezed out a smile.
"Well... Grandma depends on you, grandma may wish. ”
"Well, don't say it."
"Okay, grandma won't say it."
The birthday was very warm, the young man's face showed a smile that he had never had before, the old man also had a kind face, and the young man and the old man frolicked in the silent night with the moonlight and lights......
Time has inadvertently passed for another five years, the young man has grown a lot, but he still seems very weak, and the old man has gradually lost his mobility in the passage of time, and he has been going down the mountain day after day to pick up waste as before. The usual recycling bin has also become much deserted due to the lack of elderly patronage. One of the few fairies in the world is time.
"Grandma, the meal is ready."
"Okay, grandma will be right here." The old man's face looked tired, and his tone was a little rough, and he got down from the bed less than half a meter very hard.
"Grandma, slow down, I'll hold you."
"Coming, coming......"
The young man gently helped the old man out of bed, and it took a while for the old man to sit down on an old bamboo chair. The coarse food on the table was dinner for two, with a few leaves and an almost clear soup resembling a delicacy.
"I'll go out again tomorrow to help Uncle Ge work, and I'll make better for you when I earn the money."
"Alas... You don't run down the hill... The bones of the body are already weak......"
"Don't worry, I'm much stronger than you now, so stay at home."
"Well, remember to come back early tomorrow."
"Hmmm......"
The next day, the boy went out early......
After a while, there were a few frolicking sounds outside the yard, and the old man was still snuggling up on the bed, and the noisy sound woke her up, and she struggled to get up with a slightly confused look, and only after a few staggering steps did she walk to the leather paper window.
"Bang! Hahaha......"
"Bang !!"
Through the window, I saw three or five children throwing firecrackers into the old man's yard, and they were dressed as the children of a farmer who went down to the mountain. These kids are notoriously troublemakers.
"Ahem...... You stinky ghosts, ahem......" The old man shuffled out the door anxiously and scolded. But the children were unmoved, and instead intensified the play.
"The old witch is here, blow her up."
After that, he threw firecrackers into the yard again.
"Stinky ghost, ahem, I'm ...... I'll teach you ......"
The old man brandished his crutches and walked towards the children, but one of them stepped on tiptoe, and his body slammed into the ground with a hard bang, and his body twitched several times.
"Hahaha, the old witch has been subdued by us, continue to blow her, continue to blow her!"
Seeing the old man's actions, the children were extremely happy and kept laughing at the old man.
Several "thunderbolts" echoed again and again, the old man's body also kept twitching on the ground, and there was a tearing sound from time to time from his body, and one of the children was frightened.
"Wait a minute...... Isn't she? He said in a panic, with an indescribable fear in his heart.
"Huh...... It's disgusting, is she going to transform? Another kid said teasingly.
"No matter, it feels so scary, let's throw a few more in and run!" There are children added to.
Then he threw a few more firecrackers into the yard and ran away, the old man still twitching with difficulty, and his hands were weakly grasping the ground. There was still foaming at the mouth.
I don't know how long it took, the door outside the courtyard was gently pushed open, and the young man who went out finally came back, and saw the old man paralyzed in the courtyard and the red-skinned firecrackers in the place, and the young man immediately rushed forward worriedly.
"Grandma! Grandma, how are you? Grandma!" The young man supported the old man, walked a few steps tremblingly, and then stopped.
"Grandma, I... It's back... Grandma, don't scare me......" the boy said with a little crying.
"Bao..."The old man heard his grandson's cry, and he also tried his best to respond.
"Grandma, are you alright, what's the matter? How can there be so many firecrackers in the yard? ”
"Grandma is okay...... A few little ghosts came to our house and were beaten away by my grandmother......"
"Grandma...... Don't say anything, I'll help you into the house. ”
At night, the boy took good care of the old man, but the old man's condition did not improve, and the boy became more and more worried.
"Grandma, how are you feeling now?"
“… It's okay... You're busy, you haven't eaten dinner yet. ”
"Okay, okay, grandma, you rest, I'll cook dinner for you, there are good things tonight, Uncle Ge and their family killed the first three hundred catties of big fat pigs today, and gave me half a tael of fat heads, I will make it for you to eat immediately."
After that, he hurriedly fiddled with it. For a while, the old man stopped talking, his eyes looked weak, and his wrinkled face revealed only pity and distress.
"Silly boy...... "Three words silently spat out on his lips......
Soon the half of the fat head was cooked.
"Grandma, come, take a bite."
"Grandma is not hungry ......"
"How can you not be hungry... Take a bite of it."
"Bao, you can keep it for yourself, grandma wants to rest, grandma feels a little tired..."
"Then I'll keep it for you..."
After that, the old man nodded slightly and closed his eyes quietly.
When the time came to the next morning, the young man got up early again, he glanced at the old man's position, and saw that the old man's body was still wrapped in the quilt, so he said: "Grandma, I will go to Uncle Ge's house today, I will come back as soon as possible, last night's meat was left on the stove for you, remember to eat when you are hungry." ”
The old man didn't reply, and the young man thought that the old man hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't bother too much.
"Then I'm out of the house"
……
"Bao, our lives are so short, I was 67 years old when I picked you up. Now that you have been a big boy for a few years, grandma is also tired and can't stay with you all the time. I remember that when I picked you up, I didn't even borrow milk, my old woman's milk, I was really tortured by your little guy, and I finally survived. But I still hope that you don't blame your parents, no parents in the world will abandon their children, you are born with a strange disease, presumably they also tried their best to leave you behind, they may also have their own difficulties, fortunately God blessed, did not let your strange disease continue to torment you. Now grandma is leaving... Go to a far, far away place, I will go and reason with God, so that he can always bless my Po. Just like the birthday wish that grandma made with you, grandma just wants you to have a safe life. Grandma doesn't want you to stay in this small yard for the rest of your life like grandma, the outside world may allow you to find a new home, if the phoenix doesn't spread its wings, it's no different from the chicks, grandma is very happy to pick you up, in grandma's twilight years, to have you with you, grandma is very happy, and very happy......"
This is probably the last thing the old man wanted to tell but didn't say, the marquee before parting is always lonely and lonely...
"Grandma...... I'm back, grandma, why are you still sleeping, and you haven't eaten meat......" The young man dragged his muddy body to the door, and saw the old man who still didn't move turned around and walked to the stove.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you when it's hot, by the way, I met those kids who bullied you today, and I helped you out, don't worry, they won't bully you anymore."
As for the boy's words, I heard from later witnesses that the boy was alone on the way back that day when he met the troublemakers, and the children also directly took him as the object of pranks, knowing that he was an old man's child, he shouted little monsters, wild babies and the like, the boy was naturally angered, and after angrily refuting them, he was besieged by them, and among those children, one of the older ones, who looked fourteen or fifteen years old, threw a stone at the boy and shouted: "Fight the wild baby!" He is even a wild baby picked up by the old monster," the children around him followed and threw stones at the young man, and the young man covered it with his hands, but it was difficult for his hands to reach the palms...... The latter situation was even more nonsense, they worked together to subdue the teenager, dragged him into the mud and trampled on it with his feet, until he was discovered by a passing car owner and stopped it......
"Grandma? Are you angry? I'm late today, but don't worry, it's all about teaching the bad boys who bullied you......"
"Grandma," the boy cried out as he knelt on the edge of the bed, but never got a response.
The young man walked to the old man's bed, gently opened the futon on the old man's body, and instantly a chill hit the young man's front door, and the bowl in his hand also fell to the ground with a "clang" at this moment.
"Grandma'!!"
The young man screamed as hard as he could, and he suddenly realized that the old man in front of him had left him, and the grief in his heart surged out, mixed with a lot of unwillingness and grievances.
"Grandma... Grandma ......"
The boy sat in front of the bed like that, shouting countless times over and over again until he was completely exhausted and fainted on the ground.
Four days later, the man who often went up the mountain to donate to the old man's family found the cold and smelly body of the boy and the old man who had fainted on the ground and was still alive.
On the hospital bed snuggled up to a pale young man, his body was still unusually thin and thin, his lips and eyelids had wrinkled, and he was completely lying on the skeleton and eyeballs. But looking at the appearance, it is hard to imagine that this is a nine-year-old boy, his thin body is full of pipes and wiring of instruments, there is no one to accompany him at the bedside, and the whole ward except for the teenager is a ticking instrument and a hanging water bottle, and loneliness occupies most of the space, which makes the already narrow space more depressing.
When the boy woke up, he didn't know how he got into the hospital, and now why he was lying here, everything seemed strange. At this moment, a nurse walked in with a cart carrying a bunch of large and small medicine bottles, and shouted:
"Patient 0017, it's time to take medicine!"
The boy struggled to stand up, his blue lips and eyelids trembling, and he couldn't control it.
"Ahem... cough cough..."The throat also began to disobey the call, and howled with all its might, but the tired body couldn't give the throat a bigger howl stage, only to hear a few weak coughs from the hospital bed... She looked at the nurse at a loss.
"Patient, what about your relatives?"
The ......" The young man didn't seem to want to answer the question, and looked at the nurse's hands with glazed eyes.
"You have been hospitalized for a while, I heard that you were found by a good Samaritan on the side of the road because of a recurrence of cancer, but you have not seen your family, if you fail to make up the hospitalization and medical expenses, the doctor said that he will stop the medicine for you..."
"Hmm......" The young man's eyes became more hollow, and he struggled to move his lips.
"Okay, open your mouth and take the medicine!" The nurse handed over the healing potion and pressed it against the unsightly edge of the young man's folds, and the medicine slowly flowed into the young man's mouth with the corners of his mouth, and entered the body with a slight throbbing of his neck.
"Okay, you can rest, I'll come back tomorrow" After saying that, the nurse went out with the cart, leaving the boy in the hospital bed
As time passed, the boy's body slowly lay down, his eyes staring at the snow-white ceiling...
"What is that, it's disgusting!"
"Savages! It's a savage!"
"Throw the wildlings into the mire, everybody!"
The young man's mind echoed these voices, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of his eyes, this is not the outside world he imagined, the outside world should be the same as in the book, it is beautiful and desirable, it will be gently embraced with the mountain spirit and the breeze, thinking about it, looking out the window.
The boy struggled to lift his hand in the direction of the window, trying to grasp the beauty.
"Wow~" The curtain was closed by a nurse who had just come in to check the instruments.
"Patient No. 0017, your condition cannot be disturbed by light and the outside world, you need a quiet rest, please put your hands back, now you are very weak, the doctor said it is best not to move! When you get better, we'll take you outside to breathe. The nurse explained to the boy that the boy's eyes were helpless, and he became helpless, and he withdrew his hand with difficulty, and his body writhed, perhaps because his body was too weak, or maybe his condition was aggravated again, and the boy trembled slightly...
"Ahem... Ahem. ”
"Are you alright?" The nurse saw the boy dragging his body and coughing and twitching, so she hurriedly inquired and walked over to check on the situation.
"Don't move around... Rest well, your condition needs to be recuperated..."The nurse explained as she sorted out the instruments and plumbing equipment on the boy's body, while constantly caressing the boy's chest. The boy opened his lips slightly, and the folded skin could clearly see that the cortex was pulled and cracked, "Thank you..."
“…… Hello, let's rest. The nurse dropped the sentence and walked out of the room after the examination.
Two days later, the kind man who helped the boy came to the hospital again, this time to visit the boy.
The young man entered the door and handed the young man a bag of things, and the young man took it with his hand, which he had never seen before.
"Let's take it apart and see......"
After slowly opening, it is a silver-white peace lock, and the lock is engraved with two words, "Jingran". There is also a letter......
"...... this?"
"This is from your grandmother's relics......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the boy.
"Grandma! Where is my grandma now? ”
“……”
The young man was silent for a moment and said, "She's gone..."
"That's right...... Grandma is gone...... "The boy remembered the fact that the old man had already left.
"Let's open it up and take a look at the things here... Maybe your grandmother left it for you. ”
The boy opened the envelope with a crying voice, glanced at it, and handed it to the young man.
"Dear child, my Jingran, I'm sorry my child, Mom doesn't know if you can see this letter, but Mom really hopes that you can see it, if you see this letter now, you must be doing well, it must be a healthy and lovely child, yes. Jing Ran is the most well-behaved. I'm sorry, but Mom shouldn't have left you, Mom is a sinner, a demon. Mom doesn't ask Jing Ran to forgive this incompetent mother, Mom just hopes that Jing Ran can live well. If you have a dream, make sure to work hard to achieve it. Mom will support you, and your mom will not deserve the opportunity to share the fruits of your dreams with you, please leave this fruit to the people who raised you, who are holier than the angels. Thank you that they can love you well for your mother. My little Jingran, Mom believes that you will be the brightest star in the sky......"
"Mom......" The young man took the letter, his eyes looked at the content of the letter through his wrinkled eyelids, and he received too much information for a while, and he sat there for a long time, and the young man would not have thought that the young man who had followed the old man for more than ten years still had such a life experience, and he also stood in place and was silent for a long time......
"Wear it, this is a ...... left for you by your mother," the young man put the peace lock around the young man's neck, and after a few words of comfort, he said goodbye to the young man. After that, the man launched a post on the Internet to find the missing person, and after a period of time, the man learned that the boy's parents had died in an accident after leaving the teenager behind... Maybe this is destiny, and then the man prepared to go back to the hospital to inform the teenager's parents of the situation.
In the blink of an eye, I came to the hospital.
"Why did you stop taking the medicine for him... I'm not—" was interrupted by a nurse before he could finish speaking.
"Sir, we can only stop if you don't pay the medical bills on time, and you have exceeded the payment time for nearly a week, we stopped the medicine three days ago, and it has been extended to the greatest extent, and other patients in the hospital also need it, we can't miss the treatment because they have paid......"
"What kind of fallacy is this... Healer's parents' hearts, don't you have a little mercy? The young man retorted. The nurse was speechless and slowly stepped back. The young man pushed aside the nurse and walked over to the boy.
"Bao, uncle is back..."
"Uncle," replied the boy with all his might. Now he looked weaker than before, and now he was only covered in leather and a dry wood-like skeleton.
"Uncle has heard from your parents,...... It's just that...... It's just that the young man held the young man's slightly cold hand, and he didn't dare to speak.
"It's just... What... Uncle..."
"It's just... They're gone, just like your grandmother. And it's been more than ten years......" said with tears already flowing down his jaw.
"Oh... The young man's eyes completely lost their light, and the young man recalled that he had been left in the mire and the bullying he had received was far less heavy than it was now.
"Thank you, uncle...... Can you tell me your name? ”
"Zhao Mingyu ......"
"Uncle Mingyu ......"
The air in the ward became extremely biting, not so much a ward, it was more like an ice cave, the instruments were cold, the infusion tubes were cold, the beds were cold, the quilts were cold, and the people who stayed here were also cold. At this moment, time was completely silent, without any sound or image. It was a dead silence......
"Po ......"
The young man whispered, he had realized that the child had left this world, and tears welled up from the corners of his eyes even more uncontrollably, his hand held the child's hand tightly, rubbing it back and forth, strongly hoping that the temperature he had generated could make the cold body show signs of recovery. But he knew more than anyone else that it was impossible.
Soon after, the young man retrieved the boy's body from the hospital and buried him with the boy's grandmother.
"Bao, I hope your afterlife will not be as painful as it is now, this world does not deserve you... It owes you so much......"
On the long mountain road, there has been an ordinary figure since then.
