Chapter 4: Leaves fall instead of autumn
Death is very close and far away from you, close to you may die at any time, far away from you and the person who has passed away, yin and yang, it is difficult to see each other!
The leaves drooped my head, the wind mixed with the boiling heat of the asphalt road, and the sweat ran down my forehead, but I couldn't feel the heat.
A sense of foreboding kept coming through my mind, and I quickened my pace, I don't know if it was too long or if I was walking too slowly, and I felt like I had walked for a long, long time in front of the hospital.
As the elevator doors opened, I saw the last thing I wanted to see at the end of the hallway, the lights on the door indicating the operation had gone out, the door opened, and the sound of crying filled the floor.
I froze in place, my mind suddenly went blank, and I thought I should go in and have a look, maybe the last one.
No, how can this be the last side, I suddenly stopped this thought, I didn't dare to think further, how could the person who was talking and laughing a few days ago just leave?
"Let's take a last look"
Xue Ruoya's deep voice completely extinguished the last bit of hope in my heart, I felt like I was in a dream at this time, I didn't know who I was, I didn't know what I was doing, I just wanted to wake up quickly, open my eyes, everything went back to the original starting point, complained a few words about life was too mediocre, and hurriedly washed up and went to work mechanically.
But I clearly know that this is not a dream, a reality that cannot be avoided.
"Really... Is there no hope? I raised my head, looked at Xue Ruoya standing in front of me, and asked with luck.
"I know you don't want to see that either, and I can understand your mood right now, but we have to face reality"
Oh, yes! Reality, an executioner who kills all fantasies and fairy tales, will not comfort you, but will only expose your wounds to mosquito bites.
I stood up abruptly and walked towards the ward, the last separation, I never thought that I would meet again in such a way, the person who had looked forward to the future together and longed for a better place together was lying on the bed coldly at the moment, and the white sheets covered his body.
I stood at the foot of the bed, looking at the smooth straight line on the ECG machine, cursing why he was so ruthless, the people who loved him and the people he loved were now standing in front of him, and he was lying on the bed without looking.
Give you a chance, if you open your eyes now and take a look, I'll immediately retract what I just said, what? Then give you three more seconds, three... Two... Two to zero... One point nine... One point eight...
Since you're so sleepy, I won't wake you up, sleep, sleep, remember to call me when you wake up, we won't get drunk tonight!
I turned around and walked out, I think he was just sleepy, and he woke up when he had slept enough!
I sat down on a chair in the hallway, in fact, people are like this sometimes, always feel that the future is still very long, always push everything to the future, but never thought that life is actually very fragile, never thought that separation would one day become goodbye!
I think that if we treat every day as if it were the last, we may be able to cherish time, life, and what we have more than we have now!
It's just that we never think about it so much, just like when we are sick, we will feel how good a healthy body is, but when we are cured, we will turn to pursue others, people's desires are like the rolling stones of the mountain, once they start, they will never end, cherish them in reality, and they become precious.
The scenes of the past kept flashing in my mind, the grief in my heart continued to spread, the tears gradually blurred my vision, and the feeling of losing my best friend was like breaking my wings, no one helped you when you were soaring in the sky, no one listened to you brag when you were drunk, and no one smiled and told you how beautiful the colorful glow on the horizon was when you were in a deep trough.
But now, I can only keep telling myself that letting go and accepting the reality may be the best choice!
I silently stood up and walked downstairs, thinking that it was breathable outside, there were still so many people in the hall of the hospital, the people in the world were warm and cold, life and death were separated, I think these busy doctors have long been commonplace.
As I walked out of the hall, an ambulance with flashing alarm quickly drove in, and the door opened, revealing a young man with shaggy hair, convulsions, and an extremely painful expression lying on a stretcher, quickly pushed into the hall in the crowd.
"All set, here"
"Quick, get ready for gastric lavage!"
The speed of the paramedics was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it was already out of sight.
"Doctor, please save my son," cried out a middle-aged woman pleadingly.
"Please wait here first, we will inform you of the follow-up situation"
After the doctor left, the middle-aged woman sat at the door of the operating room dejectedly, tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing down, and her crying eyes were red, not knowing if she could save her son's life.
I didn't go any further, but sat down silently beside the middle-aged woman, who, I think, was more sad than I was.
"It should be fine," I began to comfort after a long silence.
The middle-aged woman wiped her tears, nodded vigorously, and then said thank you.
After a long time, just as I got up to leave, the middle-aged woman suddenly spoke, as if she was talking, as if talking to herself.
"A girl broke up with my son a few days ago, after the breakup, he kept himself in the house, no matter what I said, how I persuaded him, he didn't want to leave the room, just at noon, I knocked on the door and he didn't open it, I was afraid that he wouldn't open it, so I asked the neighbor to help him smash the door open, but it was still a step too late"
"His father has been working in other places, and I am usually busy, and I don't care much about him, so I knew it...", the middle-aged woman said reproachfully, tears flowing down again.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine"
I got up and walked out of the hall, and I thought that this young man must be a man who is single-minded in his feelings, but he is not a responsible person, and if he could give his parents a tenth of his love for that girl, perhaps he would not have done such a thing.
There are some things that cannot be changed, we can only be at peace with what we encounter, what has left, why not let it go away with the wind, I looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and my heart was a little calm.
I bend down to pick it up, I don't know where it came from, I don't know why it withers in the middle of summer, it's just that too often, the fallen leaves don't necessarily only exist in autumn.
