Chapter 72: The Ginkgo Tree
The car window reflected the colorful neon lights, Qu Yiyi, who was holding the steering wheel, glanced in the rearview mirror, swallowed and said, "I'm really sorry just now, please forgive me if I offend you." ”
Xiao Tao shook her head, indicating that it was okay.
Qu Yiyi asked hesitantly, "That... Why did you climb out of the TV? ”
Scared her half to death.
Xiao Tao's eyes were full of innocence: "The slave family sees that you are mentally prepared, thinking that it should be okay... Are you scared? ”
"Ah, how could it be, hahaha!"
A woman who studies medicine never admits defeat.
Qu Yande, the co-pilot, didn't seem to hear the two of them talking, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were distracted.
Qu Yiyi sighed, hoping that she could let her grandfather and Xiao An untie the knot tonight.
Chang'an has a top hospital for leukemia treatment, which is very famous, so Qu Yande transferred Xiao An to the hospital in Chang'an and was responsible for all the medical expenses.
And the family of the patient who hacked Xiao Jing to death at the beginning could not get compensation at all because the family was poor.
If it weren't for Qu Yande taking care of him, Xiao An would have been sick and dead because he couldn't pay the medical bills.
"It's here, let's get off."
As soon as Qu Yiyi's words fell, she saw Xiao Tao pass directly through the door and stand outside waiting for them.
Qu Yiyi choked: "What is the matter with suddenly feeling that it seems to be a good ghost." ”
After entering the elevator, Qu Yande was even more silent, and Qu Yiyi also closed her mouth.
With a ding, the elevator stopped, walked out one after another, and arrived at the door of Xiao An's ward, Qu Yande took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
Xiao An turned around suspiciously: "Grandpa Qu, Sister Yiyi, why are you here?" ”
Qu Yande looked around, only saw Xiao An alone, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he stepped forward and touched Xiao An's head: "Come and see you." ”
"Why don't you sleep yet?" Qu Yiyi glanced at Xiao Tao, and saw that she was also at a loss, and gently tucked the quilt for Xiao An.
Xiao An's face was very sickly white, and his figure was also very thin, he shook his head, and his eyes stopped on the cabinet next to the hospital bed: "Today is my sister's birthday." ”
Qu Yiyi found that there was a small cake on the cabinet, which was not a serious birthday cake, just the size of the dessert she usually ate.
Qu Yiyi's heart was sour, and she was about to say something, when she said "tuk tuk" twice, and someone knocked on the door.
"I'll open the door."
Qu Yiyi immediately got up, opened the door and took a look at Chu Hanxing.
"This ......"
Chu Hanxing bowed slightly to her and moved to the left, revealing the person behind her.
Qu Yiyi's eyes were full of disbelief: "Xiao Jing! ”
……
The ward was silent for a while, not because of unfamiliarity, but because a thousand words were hard to open.
After a long time, Xiao An shouted in a daze: "Sister." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, tears fell in large gullies.
"Sister!" Xiao An cried bitterly and hugged Xiao Jing's body directly.
It's cold, it's cold, there's no heartbeat.
Xiao Jing smiled generously at a few people and patted Xiao An's head, "You kid! ”
She blinked, forced back her tears, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Qu, Xiaoyi, Xiao An has caused you trouble." ”
Qu Yande stared at her neck for a long time and didn't speak.
When a person dies unnaturally, his soul will bear the mark of his life.
The marks on Xiao Jing's neck that were cut off by a machete did not disappear.
Xiao Jing sighed: "Grandpa Qu, don't punish yourself with other people's faults. ”
Xiao Jing gently stroked Xiao An's head, and her voice was a little choked: "Grandpa Qu, I'm not afraid of your jokes, in you, Xiao An and I felt the warmth of our family." ”
Her expression was soft: "So, ah, I just took a stab for my family, what's the big deal." ”
"You're a titan in the medical field, and my death will be worth it, right?"
There was a glitter in Qu Yande's eyes.
For a long time, he looked directly into Xiao Jing's eyes and nodded solemnly.
Xiao Jing squinted and smiled happily: "Death is not the end, but a new beginning."
I've never regretted my choice, and even if I try again, I'll still stand in front of you.
Because you have not only illuminated me and Xiao An, but also a ray of hope in the lives of others. ”
……
Xiao Tao and Chu Hanxing silently retreated, leaving the space for them.
Xiao Tao wrung her handkerchief and asked as if unintentionally: "Master, why do you put the past... Called the Old Society? ”
Chu Hanxing heard the hesitation in her tone, and her voice was light: "Because people couldn't be human before, they had to kneel."
Some people kneel for a long time, they don't want to kneel anymore, go to the old and renovate, and finally everyone can stand up, and no one wants to continue kneeling anymore. ”
Xiao Tao raised her head and stared at the ceiling in a daze, she knew that after watching for a long time, her pupils would widen and shrink for a while, and her eyes would be unbearable, and now she could stare all day without blinking.
After a long time, she asked softly, "Then what is not considered kneeling?" ”
"You can call yourself 'me' first." Chu Hanxing lowered his eyes and played with the jade pendant, his posture lazy.
Xiao Tao didn't know if she heard it, laughed, stopped continuing the topic, and hummed softly.
"Since I, with the king, I have fought in the east and the west......"
……
The sky was faintly bright, and the thin white mist dispersed silently.
When Qu Yiyi opened the door and invited Chu Hanxing in, Xiao Jing had already left.
Qu Yande and Qu Yiyi, as adults, have stronger psychological endurance than Xiao An, who has just turned sixteen, and can adjust the sentimentality caused by parting.
But Xiao An was different, he stared out the window blankly, only reluctance and sadness in his heart.
He can't get out of the past, that is his sister, his only relative, the two have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and the deep family relationship has long been inseparable.
Xiao Jing was all his source of warmth, always encouraging him to fight against the illness and building up his confidence, but without any signs and psychological preparation, she left suddenly.
Xiao An really couldn't find a reason to live, and when he saw Xiao Jing, he wanted to die early and reunite with Xiao Jing in the underworld.
The two of them are like an extreme, Xiao Jing is like a weed with tenacious vitality, whether it is in the crack of the stone or in the sewer, she must grow to the sunny place, Xiao An lives in the hospital all the year round, and has seen too much life and death, his psychology is negative.
So he still refused chemotherapy.
Qu Yande persuaded: "Xiao An, don't live up to your sister's wishes. ”
"People will die sooner or later, Grandpa Qu, I just want to end it sooner." Xiao An said numbly.
"Yes, people always have to die, so live well before you die."
Xiao An turned his head slowly and met the plain eyes.
Chu Hanxing's expression was faint: "It's not easy to cultivate a human body to come to the world, shouldn't you enjoy the scenery of the world?" ”
Xiao Jing didn't tell Xiao An about setting up a stall in the Ghost Castle to exchange his life.
Xiao An had a pale face and looked out of the window with empty eyes: "The loss of life is sad. ”
He had seen death many times.
His gaze did not fall on point, but there was a ginkgo tree in the middle of the courtyard outside the window, which could be seen from any angle in the hospital.
The sun shines brightly, and the leaves and sunlight shine together, and it is a beautiful sight.
Chu Hanxing asked him, "Do you know the meaning of the ginkgo tree?" ”
Xiao An shook his head, he didn't look at it, and he didn't want to understand.
"It's tenacity and longevity." Chu Hanxing said, "It represents the hospital's message to everyone. ”
Chu Hanxing's gaze fell on his weak body.
"The seasons change, everything comes into being, and the arrival of every life has its meaning.
The meaning of this ginkgo tree has never changed, and the moment you are born from the hospital, it tells you how to face life's problems.
- Resilience.
When you can use this resilience flexibly, you can overcome anything.
Just like your sister. ”
Xiao Jing is really a girl full of resilience.
"Bed No. 34 Xiao An, the anesthesiologist is here, ready to go to the operating table!" The nurse pushed the door open.
She buried her head in the notebook, and when she saw that Xiao An didn't respond and looked up, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The nurse softened her voice: "What are you crying about, when you get out of the cabin, you will be a new life, and it will be your good day!" ”
Xiao An raised his hand to wipe his face in a daze, only to realize that he had burst into tears unconsciously.
