Will you die if you don't act cute every day?

She has always been the pride of her mother, so the role of the ferryman she played in the end will definitely make her mother extremely proud.

Along the way, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her whole face was smiling.

But that kind of smile makes people want to cry inexplicably.

At the door of the ward, several uncles and aunts were already gathered there. When they saw Cheng Si, they immediately waved to her and motioned her to come over.

When Dad saw her, he didn't say a word, just touched her head sadly, and led her into the ward.

There are 2 beds in the ward, one of which is empty now, the other bed, her mother is half leaning on it, the head of the bed is swung high, many tubes of different colors, connected to the EKG machine, saline, on the needle pusher.

Mother was lying in the middle of the bed, her face was pale, almost transparent under the light of the incandescent lamp overhead.One of her eyes was big and the other was small, the pupil of the small one was cloudy, and the pupil of the big one was bloodshot.Her mouth was covered with an oxygen mask, and it could be seen that every breath took a lot of effort.

Cheng Si smiled and looked into her mother's eyes. She knew that her mother should not be able to see her now, but she still walked over and gently took her mother's hand. The hand was cold and biting, and she held it tightly. His mouth squirmed, his eyes became moist, and he smiled and said, "Mom, I'm here."

Mom didn't respond.

Cheng Si smiled again, and said it word by word again, "Mom, I'm here."

Two tears slid down my mother's face, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

Cheng Si took a deep breath and forced back the liquid that had accumulated rapidly in her eye sockets. She gently stroked her mother's hair and said softly, "Mom, you will be very happy in your next life, and so will I."

A nurse came in suddenly at the door, and she injected a medicine into the mother.Then he turned his head, looked at Cheng Si and said, "As soon as the patient's ECG is straight, call us to pull out the tube, because the tube won't be pulled out when the patient's body is cold."

Cheng Si nodded and said coldly, "Got it."

The nurse walked out with some medicine bottles.

Cheng Si looked at the nutrient solution hanging halfway above her head, and then at her mother's hands full of pinholes. Her throat was blocked. She looked away, but couldn't say anything. She could only hold her mother's hand and tell her, by myself.

Next to her was an aunt holding her mother's other hand. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help crying, sobbing, "Jun'er, why did you suddenly become like this? Why did you abandon us like this?" , don’t sleep, look, your favorite daughter is by your side.”

"Open your eyes and take a look, the greatest pride in your life is right there."

Dad and some uncles came in and forcibly lifted the aunt up and pulled her out. Dad looked at the tears in the aunt's eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, the doctor said, don't cry before the patient dies, it will irritate her." Jun'er doesn't want you to cry either."

At the last second before he left the ward, he looked back at Cheng Si again, and said depressingly: "Your mother has never liked me. I know that I have made you suffer for so many years. During the last period of time, you have to accompany me well." Accompany your mother, you know, you are your mother's greatest pride."

Cheng Si nodded, she smiled, looked at her father tenderly, and said softly: "You are a good father, I know."

Dad's tears flowed down, he nodded, shook his head vigorously again, and went out.

Cheng Si sat down on the stool beside the bed, her brows were full of tenderness, her eyes filled with a faint smile, she looked at her mother, touched her slightly warmer hand, and said softly: "Mom, I Here, don't be afraid."

Mom suddenly closed her eyes, took a few heavy breaths, then opened her eyes, and a muffled voice came out of her throat, "Don't...cry."

Cheng Si suddenly heard her mother's voice, and her eyes immediately turned red. She pursed her lips, tried her best to suppress her emotions, and said softly, "Of course I won't cry. Mom is about to be relieved. I'm happy for my mother."

Her throat suddenly became tingling, and a wave of emotion seemed to break through the shackles and vent out immediately.

But she saw that the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up on her mother's pale face, and then, her mother's eyes were just opened, looking at her tenderly and reluctantly, but it seemed that she was not looking at her, but that time had stopped at The moment she opened her eyes.

The electrocardiogram on the side suddenly jumped from dozens to more than 130, and then returned to more than 100.

Cheng Si looked at the electrocardiogram one after another, and understood something in a trance, but it seemed like she didn't understand anything. She sat there quietly, holding her mother's hand in her hand, with a peaceful expression.

She doesn't know much about medicine, but as long as the line on the electrocardiogram is still beating, it means that the person hasn't left yet, right?

Looking at the electrocardiogram, Cheng Si suddenly felt very at ease and at ease. She didn't know when these lines would become straight lines, but now she believed that the electrocardiogram would keep beating like this forever.

Her brain was a little chaotic, but she was still awake, her eyes were calm, and the corners of her mouth were gentle.

Mom, I am finally free. I am here to pray to all the gods, hoping that in the next life, my mother will be free from pain, sorrow, and death from illness.I hope she can accomplish whatever she wants in the next life, for which I am willing to pay any price.

……

I don't know how long it took, the electrocardiogram suddenly issued a series of "dips", and the originally beating lines turned into eternal straight lines.

Cheng Si got up slowly and rang the nurse's bell beside the bed.

Soon, the doctor came in. This doctor was my mother's favorite during her lifetime. She said that the doctor's facial features are very reassuring.

He looked at the electrocardiogram, then took out a small flashlight from his breast pocket, opened his mother's eyelids, and took a picture of the pupils.

It was the first time that Cheng Si saw the pupils of a dead person on the sidelines, and they opened like ink-dyed paintings.

The doctor shook his head heavily, and went out expressionlessly.The nurse who came in behind began to remove the patient's tube skillfully. Uncles, aunts and father stood beside Cheng Si silently. One hand of father pressed heavily on her shoulder, as if giving her strength.

Cheng Si's eyes gradually went blank, and only a numb smile appeared on his face. In an instant, there was nothing left, and the traces belonging to his mother were gone.

She took a deep breath of the air in the ward, and could no longer feel her mother's breath.

Everything seems to be gone in an instant.

Cheng Si watched blankly as the nurses removed all the tubes from her mother, and her mother seemed to have returned to the way she was before she got sick.

"Didn't you say at the beginning that you want to cut off a pinch of mother's hair as a souvenir? Go ahead." Dad patted Cheng Si's shoulder lightly and said bitterly.

Cheng Si turned his head, glanced at him, and shook his head again.

She suddenly didn't want hair anymore, and she suddenly felt that it might be best for her mother to leave completely.

Dad looked at her worriedly, his face seemed to be 10 years older, and he said: "The people who clean up mom will come soon, and by then, you will never have a chance to have your hair again, are you sure you really don't want it?" Either."

Cheng Si shook his head firmly, then continued to look at his mother almost greedily.

Ten minutes later, a lame man wearing a black hat knocked on the door of the ward.

He has a lot of stuff under his armpits, his face is dark, and his hands are huge.

While spreading the shroud, socks and quilt on another bed, he said in a low voice, "Which one of you is a family member, come and help me dress the dead together."

Dad said to Cheng Si: "Go and wear it."

Cheng Si nodded and took a step forward, feeling a little apprehensive.

The man took the shroud to his mother's hospital bed, and called out in a low voice, "I'm sorry, auntie, I'm going to put socks on for you, lift your feet." He put the socks on for his mother.

"Put on your pants next, come on, lift your legs up, and you will be safe and sound in your next life without pain." He put the pants on his mother, then suddenly raised his head to look at Cheng Si, and said coldly, "You hold on to Cheng Si." On the other end of the pants, pull them up with me."

Cheng Si nodded numbly, feeling a little apprehensive, but still did as he said.

After the pants were pulled up, the man tied a complicated knot on the mother's waist, and then continued: "Let's get dressed now, and raise your arms. You will live happily in your next life and your wishes will come true."

After that, he skillfully wrapped the quilt for his mother, and asked, "Did your mother like anything before she was alive? Bring it here and let her take it away."

Cheng thought about it and nodded.She went to a side cabinet, took out a hat and handed it to the man. The man put the hat on for his mother, and said, "Let her son come over."

When the father heard the words, he replied, "We have no son, only a daughter, and that's her."

The man frowned, then took a white cloth from one side and said to Cheng Si: "Hold this white cloth with both hands, then kneel down facing the direction of the dead, say hello all the way, and then cover the dead face with the cloth .”

Cheng Si took the cloth and followed the man's instructions, step by step.When she finally covered her mother's face with a white cloth, she took a deep look at her mother and covered the cloth.

The man said: "Your children are also seeing you off, and you have to go on your own for the rest of the journey. Don't look back, drink Mengpo soup and live your next life well."

After finishing speaking, he took his tool bag and said to his father and the others, "It's done." Then he simply walked out the door.

Not long after he left, people from the hospital came in to take his mother to the morgue.

At the elevator door, the transporter asked them: "The child of the deceased will go down with me."

Just as Cheng Si wanted to tell her to go, his father interrupted, saying, "I'll go, the little girl will be scared if I go."

The lucky man glanced at Cheng Si and said with a smile: "Yes, then you can go with me. The morgue is too cold for girls."
