"Hey! Xiaocan, your dad has a cerebral hemorrhage, and he is dying, now he is being rescued in the county people's hospital, you should go home quickly! ”

The phone was silent for three seconds before a low sigh came.

"Mom, I know, I'll go back tonight!"

"Then you drive carefully and stay safe!"

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you later, and you should pay attention to rest!"

……

Chen Can frowned and hung up the phone, his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes blank, looking closely ahead.

Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

Chen Can took a deep breath, picked up his mobile phone again, opened his Alipay, and looked at the balance, the three-digit amount on it made his brows furrow even deeper.

Fingers were dotted on the online merchant loan, and when the loan amount was needed, he hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the amount.

"20,000 yuan!"

After a while, the loan amount arrived, and 10,000 yuan was transferred to his mother's bank card, and he threw his mobile phone on the co-pilot as if he was a little disgusted.

Start the car, turn on the windshield wipers, and in the heavy rain, this ten-year-old BMW X5, like an old cow, made a heavy panting sound, squeaked a few times, and slowly drove forward.

The car traveled a few meters, and with a violent brake, the car stopped again.

Chen Can looked at the raindrops floating outside the window, and his heart jumped fast.

This time, he had a bad feeling, as if he was about to lose something.

He tightly pulled out a round jade pendant from his chest, clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand, and prayed silently.

Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was overcast, and the vehicles on the road began to turn on their lights.

Pedestrians on the street were sparsely populated, and a few pedestrians hid under the eaves of shops and looked up at the sky.

The expressions of the crowd were mixed, some were numb, some were anxious, and some were giggling and talking on the phone with friends.

The high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, I don't know when they started, the lights turned on, and the lights of thousands of homes were on, and they knew whether they were warm or cold.

The radio in the carriage suddenly remembered.

"Welcome to all kinds of listeners, listen to Pengcheng Radio Station... Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, on this day of family reunion......"

"Drip, drip, drip......"

"Grass, there's a traffic jam ahead!"

Chen Can slapped the steering wheel, touched his pocket with some irritability, took out a pack of cigarettes, and put the last cigarette in his mouth.

He rubbed the cigarette case, threw it into the storage box under the driver's seat, lit the cigarette, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

The smoke was enchanting, slowly dissipating, and a vague shadow was printed on the rearview mirror.

Chen Can looked at himself in the rearview mirror with blank eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He remembered the phone call he had just made, and his mind began to drift again.

If you think about it, you shouldn't have been back for eight years, right?

The lofty ambitions he once promised in front of his father, as well as the pictures of quarrels with his father in those years, came to his mind one by one.

Chen Can shook his head helplessly.

Chen Can, who is now in his thirties, once again remembers the experience of these years, like a dream, an unspeakable and tangled dream.

Thinking back to the recklessness of a few years ago, the naivety and self-righteousness of those twenty years old, and the frivolity and stupidity of youth, what a fucked life!

It's a pity that I can't go back!

A mistake is a mistake, but is it still useful to say sorry now?

Whether this sentence is said to my father or to my past self, it is too late!

Chen Can took another puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled a faint puff of smoke from his nose.

After smoking a cigarette, the vehicle in front finally started to move slowly, stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle slowly drove forward!

After ten hours of driving, at half past four in the morning, Chen Can finally returned to his hometown county.

Parking the car downstairs at the local people's hospital, he rubbed his eyes that were a little swollen, raised his head, glanced at the hospital, took a deep breath, and walked in.

At half past four in the morning, there was only an old man dozing off at the door, the lights in the inpatient department were dim, and occasionally a cough came from the ward, which made people feel cold behind their backs.

On the way, Chen Can already knew that his father had undergone surgery and was sent back to the ward, and he was currently in poor condition, sometimes unconscious, sometimes conscious.

The conditions of the county hospital are like this, and whether or not they can survive it depends on the patients themselves.

Chen Can also thought about transporting his father to the provincial hospital for treatment on the road, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to say that.

Man!

Poverty is the reality!

When I was a teenager, I left home alone, with several ups and downs, and the teenager was no more, and when I returned, I was already middle-aged.

Standing at the door of the ward, Chen Can rubbed his somewhat stiff face, and then carefully unscrewed the doorknob, and the ward was quiet, and two beds could be seen faintly.

On the two beds, only the one by the window, there was a patient, and in front of the bed, there was an accompanying person.

stepped forward and took two steps, the room without the lights was a little dim, but Chen Can still recognized the rickety figure lying on the side of the hospital bed at a glance.

Before Chen Can could get completely close, the figure had already woken up, she raised her head, saw Chen Can's figure, and shouted tiredly.

"Xiaocan, you're back!"

Chen Can let out a complicated and heavy "um" expression, and then looked at the figure on the hospital bed.

I don't know if it's because I haven't seen him for eight years, or because of my sudden illness, my father at this time is completely different from the appearance in Chen Can's memory.

That completely unfamiliar face, you can still vaguely see the shadow of the year, but unfortunately it has long been a human being.

At this time, my father looked old and thin, and his eyes were closed, as if he was about to enter the earth.

Looking at that face, Chen Can couldn't help but think of the memories in his mind.

The father back then was so tall and mighty, and in his young memory, this man was once his piece of heaven.

It's a pity that it has long been a cloud of smoke.

Looking at this face for a long time, Chen Can finally didn't say anything, just quietly shouted at his mother.

"Mom, go back and rest for a while, I'll take care of it!"

Mother Zhang Xiulan shook her head, stepped forward to take Chen Can's hand, and walked out of the ward.

When they reached the hallway, the mother sighed and spoke.

"Xiaocan, your dad's disease, I asked the doctor, the situation is not optimistic, you may have to have an operation the day after tomorrow, whether you can survive it depends on your dad, if he wakes up later, don't be angry with him, talk less nonsense!"

Chen Can smiled bitterly and agreed, he knew very well what his mother was worried about.

In the eyes of his mother, he is still the high-spirited Chen Can at the beginning, a little bastard who specializes in opposing his father.

It's a pity that what she doesn't know is that now he has already experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and his ability to distinguish between right and wrong is enough to see clearly with his age and life experience.

It's a pity that time can't be redone!

Chen Can forcibly sent his mother out of the hospital and told her to go back to rest for a few hours.

Looking at the rickety figure on the hospital bed, Chen Can remembered the last time he saw this man.

Eight years ago, when I came home for the last time, it was not surprising that I had a big fight with my father again.

At that time, Chen Can yelled at his father with an excited expression.

"Someday, I'll do something big! Definitely not like you! Just wait for me! ”

Now, eight years have passed since that passionate vow!

From this vow, there will be no more!

Memories of the past, one by one, reappear in my mind, like bubbles, and quickly disappear in my mind.

Chen Can looked at the skinny father on the hospital bed, held back the emotions in his heart, and roared in a low voice.

"Old Chen! Lao Chen, look at you, what the are you doing now? What about your grumpy temper? What about your three catties of pride? ”

Chen Can seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be talking to father and son, but unfortunately Chen Can couldn't get an answer anymore!

Looking back at the window, I don't know when, a full moon outside the window has reached mid-air.

Today's moon is particularly round, Chen Can then remembered that yesterday seemed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon of the fifteenth was sixteen round, but it was a pity!

Tonight's moonlight has an inexplicable demon red, Chen Can's whole body is leaning against the wall of the ward, he has not slept for a day and a night, and he is tired at the moment.

At the last moment of his deep sleep, looking at the bright moon outside the window, Chen Can sighed deeply and muttered to himself.

"This fucking life, if only I could do it all over again!"

Chen Can became more and more sleepy, more and more tired, his eyes slowly fell, and Chen Can's spirit completely fell into darkness.

The moonlight outside the window sneaked over the windowsill and slowly shone in the ward.

On Chen Can's chest, on the round jade pendant, a strange red light suddenly emitted, and the red light began to ripple like ripples in the moonlight.

As it rippled, the light began to distort, and finally faded, fading, fading, fading, until it was completely gone!

With this strange scene, the entire space began to collapse, turning into nothingness, everything around it began to shatter, and the crescent moon outside the window completely disappeared in a crisp cracking sound......

"Oops! It hurts! ”

Chen Can stood up as if his chest was burned, and he stood up like an electric shock!
