Chapter 16: The Truth of the Matter (New Book Sets Sail for Collection)
"Granny Bai, be careful!" I shuddered.
But she didn't answer at all, and went straight to the second floor.... I sat on the ground in horror and hesitated for a long time, but I didn't dare to follow.
Until Liu Siya, a trainee nurse in the hospital, heard the movement just now, and hurriedly ran over: "Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng... Are you okay!? ”
"I," I trembled and didn't know how to speak, "I, you may not believe what I said, I saw a ghost!" ”
"Ghosts!?" This word still made the girl tremble suddenly, but she quickly calmed down, lowered her voice and asked: "Is it a middle-aged woman who has been calling her daughter!" ”
"Yes, yes," I nodded repeatedly, "it's on the second floor, right at the door of my ward, it's terrible!" ”
"What's terrible, you...... Oops," Nurse Liu Siya sighed and hurriedly ran upstairs.
"Hey, don't go," I said, trying to stop her.
But she said very complainingly: "Didn't I make it clear to you the night before yesterday? ”
"Explain what?" I was in a daze and didn't remember anything.
"You," Nurse Liu Siya couldn't care about explaining, and hurried upstairs... After walking up the stairs, there was no need for her to explain. I saw the cold and terrifying middle-aged woman just now, holding Granny Bai and crying silently: "My daughter...."
Granny Bai was relieved: "Put it down!" ”
The middle-aged woman couldn't hold back anymore: "I can't accept the fact that my daughter has left... I know she's dead, but I just can't let go of it in my heart! ”
"People live for a lifetime, sooner or later, they will leave," Granny Bai patted her on the back and said: "Death is not the end, forgetting is, the deceased is gone, if you don't forget her, how can you live a good life?" ”
"I know, I know everything," said the woman, "but I just don't want to forget her, so I come to the hospital every day..."
"Then don't forget," Granny Bai didn't know when, but she was actually holding a palm-sized straw figure in her hand, and the straw figure seemed to have a name and sheng geng written on it.
She handed the straw man to the middle-aged woman and said, "Your daughter's soul is in this straw man, and you will take him with you in the future... Three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, let her always be with you! ”
"Thank you, thank you!" The woman's feet went limp, and she knelt down tremblingly.
Looking at this scene, I was stunned... That middle-aged woman actually had tears, she wasn't a ghost.
I wondered, "This, this ....."
"Didn't I tell you everything?" Nurse Liu Siya complained again: "The night before yesterday, I clearly told you clearly.....
Actually, I took sleeping pills the night before yesterday, and I didn't hear what Liu Siya said at the end. Only now did I hear her repeat it.
It turned out that a month ago, a patient with leukemia was taken to the hospital. The patient is the daughter of this middle-aged woman, the mother and daughter are actually quite pitiful, their mother and daughter have always depended on each other, and the mother's hard work to raise the child is also very filial.
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, seeing that her daughter graduated from a prestigious university with excellent grades, and when she returned to the village to take the mother to live in a big city, she unexpectedly fainted and was sent to the town hospital for a check, and it was actually leukemia.... Even if the mother wants to smash the pot and sell iron to raise money for her daughter's treatment, leukemia is a terminal disease. Eventually, her daughter died in the town hospital.
Liu Siya, a trainee nurse, sighed: "On the day her daughter died, when she was pushed into the emergency room for the last time, she was still muttering, saying that she was not afraid of death, but she just resented God's injustice, why did she live for a lifetime, tortured her mother, and finally grew up, she had the heart to be filial and treated, but she didn't wait!" When I heard this, I couldn't help crying, and I was trembling when I gave her a needle. Actually, if you think about it, it's still true... The cruelest thing in the world is not that the son wants to raise and does not treat the family. But he can't help himself, but he has to watch his parents live alone in this world. ”
After listening to Liu Siya's words, although I can't empathize, I can imagine: "Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the cruelest thing in the world... Those who leave are reluctant, and those who survive are pitiful! ”
Even the matter of this Wang Laojiao, if you think about it together... If a child falls to the ground, it is doomed to the fate of a mother, but the child dies suddenly, so that a mother, how can she have the courage to live?
Women are weak, mothers are strong, maternal love is a miracle, but often, the child is also the only person who can break the mother.
In the midst of these thoughts, the middle-aged woman held the scarecrow tightly, thanked the white woman repeatedly, and left.
When she went downstairs to staggered with us, she had a smile on her face and nodded at Liu Siya: "Nurse Liu, I, I'm causing you trouble!" ”
"What's the matter," Liu Siya smiled politely back.
Looking at the middle-aged woman, after going downstairs to leave. I asked Granny Bai curiously: "That scarecrow, did she really collect her daughter's ghost in it?" ”
"If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't," Granny Bai sighed angrily: "Whether it's true or not, it doesn't really matter." As long as she can have a spiritual sustenance, a companionship, and a heart to live in the future, why do you bother to get to the bottom of it? ”
Granny Bai's words were very profound, and I only figured it out after I returned to the ward.
In fact, why do people have children and raise children? In the past, people would say that it was for the sake of passing on the family lineage and raising children to prevent old age.
However, I see that in this world, there are many gray-haired old people, and the children who are still worried about eating and drinking.
It wasn't until later that I saw a mother on the Internet who said this, she said that raising children is about giving and appreciation, not asking children to be perfect, not having to earn me face, and not helping me to provide for the elderly. As long as this life can exist in good health, it is enough for me to have a chance to walk with him for a while.
Children are the sustenance of their parents' hearts and the thoughts of their later years... Whether he is good or mediocre, whether he is filial or disobedient. None of this can change the expectant look in the eyes of those mothers.
Lying on the bed, I had a wish in my heart, and I only hoped that the middle-aged woman could live well with an imaginary sustenance.
"Wait," I suddenly rolled over from the bed, "Granny Bai, but that night, I did dream of her daughter in the hospital...... She sat in bed 14 that night and combed her hair! ”
