"I heard that He Xiaoyang had a car accident yesterday, and I don't know what the situation is now"

"I also heard that it was a terrible scene, and the whole body was on fire."

"Yes, when He Xiaoyang was lifted out of the car, the whole person was unrecognizable, and he was unconscious when he got into the car"

"The ambulance came very quickly, it shouldn't be anything"

Looking at the flashing messages in the WeChat group, I closed my phone, in a trance, I stood up, picked up the cigarette case from the table, silently lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out! It was cloudy outside the window, and it looked like it was going to rain

He Xiaoyang is a person I have known for a long time, from junior high school to university are in the same school, although after graduation went to different cities, but the contact has not been broken, when I met him a few days ago, he was busy with marriage, originally scheduled to get married on August 20, and now there is such a sudden incident, which is what everyone did not expect.

The wind was blowing wildly on the trees on the roadside, the leaves were whirring, and the dark sky was dripping with rain, washing the whole world.

It shouldn't be a big deal, this kid is blessed with a big life, how can he wilt so easily! I said to myself.

After extinguishing the cigarette, I called the leader and said that I was going to take a few days off, and I thought I should go and see him, no matter what the situation was, I should go and see him at this time.

After booking my ticket, I picked up the umbrella in the corner and hurried to the station without packing any luggage!

"Are you going to see He Xiaoyang?"

Hearing the WeChat message prompt, I stopped the hand that was opening the umbrella, yes, it was the ringtone of special attention that hadn't been ringing for a long, long time.

"Hmm", I replied.

"I'll be there around three o'clock, I'll wait for you then, and we'll go up together."

"Okay", looking at the familiar avatar, but the enthusiasm and excitement that we had lost at the beginning, maybe time has made us very strange to each other, if it weren't for this incident, we might never have any intersection again.

I sat in the taxi, looking out the window of the car for a moment at the houses and trees, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, the sudden rainstorm kept banging on the window, as if I wanted to break the glass and jump into the car to escape the cold outside.

"Why, young man, out of love?" The uncle who drove the taxi looked back at me and quipped.

"No, I just suddenly feel that life is so fragile and I can't stand the toss"

"Heh, I didn't expect you to talk so much, what do you want to do so much, like I've lived for most of my life, and I haven't lived a reason, you are so young, why do you feel so much"

I didn't answer, I didn't know how to answer, I came to the city after graduation, joined an ordinary small company, lived a 9-to-6 working life, and thought about going outside to see, but I was busy making a living, and every night I came back, except looking up at the sky through the window and letting my mind fly, it seemed that nothing else had been done.

"It's raining so hard and you're still coming to the station, what's the hurry?" , probably afraid that the atmosphere would be too quiet, the uncle asked.

"Yes, something happened to a friend"

"Oh", the uncle nodded, and didn't ask any more, presumably he had guessed that he might have encountered a lot of such situations

The rain outside the window is still raging on the earth, and it has no intention of stopping, I don't know when the rain will stop, but I know that the rainbow after the rain should be beautiful.

"It's here, it's thirty-five dollars"

"Okay", the uncle's voice pulled my thoughts back to reality, after paying, I opened the door, opened the umbrella, and stepped out of the car, the crackling raindrops smashed on the umbrella, I didn't care about this, and walked straight to the station, the rain splashed on my pants along the way, and it was extremely cold in the howling of the wind.

There are not too many people in the station, everything is quite smooth, after finding my seat and sitting down, I looked at the time, 11:23, to Qinghai City more than 400 kilometers away, should be able to arrive before three o'clock.

The rain outside the window seemed to have lightened a little, but it was just a dark cloud in the sky, and there was no sign of dissipation.

"How's your brother doing?" , The apprehension in my heart made me can't help but ask again.

After a long time, I saw the message and replied: "Still in the intensive care unit"

I turned off my phone, didn't reply, turned my head to look out the window, sometimes I feel that life and death parting is just a word in a book, far away from us, but now it feels like it's close at hand.

"Are you on your way?"

"Yes, you don't have to worry too much, your brother has his own natural appearance, and his life is hard", as if comforting her, but also as if saying to himself.

"Thank you"

After a short sentence, the train had started, and looking at the station that was gradually disappearing, I thought that the sky ahead should be bright and sunny

"Baby, if your mother leaves you one day, will you miss your mother?"

I followed the sound and looked at it, only to see a woman with a hat and a pale face, holding a girl about three years old, and asked gently, and the man sitting next to the woman, his eyes were red, and he kept staring out the window.

"I don't want my mother to leave me, I don't want it", the little girl coquettishly hugged the woman's neck tightly.

From the hospital tote bags they were holding, it was clear that they should have just come out of the hospital.

I looked back and didn't think about it any further, I'd rather I was wrong.

The woman was amusing the little girl all the way, and the little girl was also smiling, but her smile was mixed with sadness, and a small child may have felt the pain of separation.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived in Qinghai City, and at the exit of the station, I saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure waiting there.

"Didn't you say you're waiting in the hospital?"

"I just arrived, and I think you're almost there, so I'm just waiting for you here, let's go."

She walked in front of her, and I followed her, looking at her back, as if back in time, when we were still friends, but since that incident, everything has changed. But for now, we should be friends too

"You've been in Nanzhou all these years?"

"Yes, I've been there since I graduated, and I've been there for four or five years."

"Time flies"

"Indeed, where did you go after graduation?" I asked, looking back at her.

"I've been to a lot of places and changed a lot of jobs, but I don't think it's suitable for me, so I recently found a photography job in Nagahama."

"Photography, it's good, I remember when I went to school, you didn't take a camera all day long to shoot this and that"

"It's been so long, don't mention the past, don't mention it," she said, waving her hand.

I don't know how much it hurt her, and I don't know if she remembers it now, I think she remembers, or maybe she has forgotten, but at this point, everything is not so important anymore.
