Clear Feather of the Ring

Ever since he saw his mother cry in front of him that night, Long Tianyu realized more and more that everything his mother had shown him before was just her disguise.

No matter how strong a mother is, in the face of death, she is just an ordinary person, and she will be afraid.

In the past few days, he stayed in the hospital except during the day after the company finished handling the necessary affairs. When the weather was good, he would accompany his mother to the garden below the hospital. He also stayed at night to keep watch.

There are only two days left before the engagement banquet. This night, Long Tianyu watched his mother lay down, and was about to sleep on another bed after turning off the lights. Long Ma called out: "Xiaoyu, go back to sleep. Well, the beds in the hospital are not good. You will have a good day in two days, and you should take a good rest in these two days. "

"Mom, it's okay. I slept pretty well." Long Tianyu lay down after finishing speaking. In the semi-dark room, with his eyes open, he quietly listened to his mother's voice.

The mother didn't know whether it was because she was unwell or worried these days, but Long Tianyu could always hear the tossing and turning voices coming from her in the half-dream and half-awake state.He sometimes tiptoed out of bed to check on his mother, and when he got there, he found that her mother seemed to be asleep. At first, he thought that what he heard was her mother's habitual turning over in her sleep.It wasn't until one night, when he saw unwiped tears still on his mother's sleeping face by accident, that he realized that his mother had really stayed up all night as he feared.

For this matter, he also went to the doctor: "Can you prescribe some sleep aid medicine? If you don't sleep all night, how can you get a good rest."

"Mr. Long, I've already taken it. The painkiller injections are still being given. Your mother must be too nervous when she's like this. Please comfort her."

He didn't sleep for two consecutive nights. Tonight, Long Tianyu didn't want his mother to stay up all night again: "Mom, I can't sleep, you can chat with me." He wanted to deliberately divert his mother's attention and let her slowly sleep. relax.

Long Ma chuckled softly: "What are you talking about?"

"Tell me about my childhood. I don't remember much about the past."

Long Ma was silent for a while, she laughed after thinking about it, and slowly said: "Oh, when you were young, you were such a naughty boy, you didn't listen to scolding, you were not afraid of beating, and you would piss me off several times every day ah……"

Long Tianyu leaned sideways by the light at the head of the bed, looked at his mother's narrowed eyes and closed lips under the warm orange light, and listened to the words that he had long forgotten from his mother's mouth. Ridiculous things, when I heard the funny part, I laughed with my mother, and occasionally jumped out to defend myself who was ignorant at the time.

Talking like this, a long time ago, because my mother was busy making money to support the family and take care of myself, I didn’t have time to talk about it. Later, I didn’t want to talk about it because I grew up and entered adolescence. Until now, my mother finally stopped, and I finally stopped talking. Knowing something, it was only on such a night that there was the first real long talk between mother and child.

That night, my mother talked a lot, about Long Tianyu, about herself, and then about her father, about her grandparents... She was very excited, her thoughts were clear, and she was very energetic when she spoke. I didn't feel sleepy at all in the middle of the night.Long Tianyu was also fascinated by what he heard. He put his hands on his head, and while listening to his mother, he found his lost childhood and lost relatives based on his mother's memories.In the end, I didn't even know when I fell asleep. I just remembered that in a daze, someone came to my bed, covered myself with a quilt gently, touched my face, and opened my eyes. He opened his eyes, shouted: "Mom", then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

That night, perhaps because of listening to his mother's memories, Long Tianyu seemed to have returned to the childhood when he was hugged by his mother and babbled. The mother in the dream was wearing a white floral cotton skirt and had black and shiny hair. There were two blushes on his face, he was sleeping in her arms, listening to her softly singing nursery rhymes to himself, sleeping so soundly and deeply.

When he woke up in the morning, the sky was bright, he opened his eyes, looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, turned around and shouted to his mother: "Mom, what a big sun."

Mother didn't make a sound.

Long Tianyu only thought that his mother must have been tired and hadn't woken up after talking so much last night and sleeping so late.After getting dressed, he quietly walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

After washing up, he came out from the inside, with the smell of shaving water on his face, leaned close to his mother's bed, and asked her face, "Mom, are you awake? Are you hungry? How about breakfast?" What to eat. I'll go down and buy it for you right away."

He waited for a while, but still didn't hear his mother's response, and didn't even move.His face was still attached to his mother's cheek, and gradually, he felt that something was wrong, and there was no heat on his mother's face.He quickly stretched out his hand into the quilt, touched his mother's hand, and when he held it, it felt cool.

He moved his face away from his mother's face, looked at her squarely, and squeezed her hand tightly with his hands.

"Mom," he yelled into his mother's ear, as if she didn't hear, and then he yelled several times: "Mom, mom..."

Mother still didn't wake up, she slept so comfortably, with a slight smile on her face, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

"Mom, don't go to sleep. Didn't I agree to take you to see the dress you chose this morning? I'm going to be late." Long Tianyu raised his hand, brushed his mother's cheek, and disturbed the sleep on her forehead. "Get the dress, how about I accompany you for a beauty treatment, and I promise that on the day of my engagement, you will be more beautiful than the bride..." "Mom, don't scare me, okay..."

As he spoke, he stroked his mother's face, tears blurring his eyes.

Until the nurse and doctor on duty came in for a routine examination and found that Long Ma had no vital signs, Long Tianyu just sat blankly in front of her mother's bed, holding her hand firmly.

The doctors and nurses next to him were talking to him, but he couldn't hear a word. He just stared at them blankly, then lowered his head, staring at the white sheet on his mother's body.

There are still wet tears on his face, and he is still desperately remembering the last time he looked at his mother last night, how happy she was smiling at that time, how could it be possible to leave all of a sudden, how could it be the last Just walked away without saying a word? !

How could I fall asleep so carelessly, and even failed to hold my mother's hand and accompany her at the last moment of her life.When she left, was she in pain, did she call my name, did she have anything to say, unfulfilled wish?

The second he knew his mother was gone, the sudden sadness was like a tide, swallowing his whole body in an instant, making him cry like a panicked child who lost his way and couldn't go home, nothing but tears.

Later, when he finished crying, the tears were all dried up, and he didn't wait for his mother to open his eyes.Only then did he realize that his mother had really left, and no matter how much he shouted or cried, she would never come back.

That morning, he recovered from his stupefaction, drove away the doctors and nurses who kept talking in his ears, closed the windows, closed the curtains, and locked himself and his mother in the room.He just sat quietly by his mother's bed alone, held her hands in his own, and watched her for a whole morning.

Apart from the doctors and nurses surrounding the ward, there were also relatives and friends who came to visit as usual every day. Everyone stood silently in the corridor, and the atmosphere was deadly silent.

Zhang Liang and Yang Yi stood at the other end of the corridor, cigarette butts piled up under their feet.

"Liangzi, what should we do?" Yang Yi rushed over immediately after hearing the news. After so long, he was still a little dazed.

Zhang Liang smoked a cigarette fiercely, his eyebrows almost wrinkled together: "Brother Yu, first send a few people to guard the door, and no one is allowed to enter without his permission. The place where this happened is too All of a sudden, the engagement must be canceled immediately, and all guests must be notified. The media must also make a good greeting in advance, and no more news about the engagement or other celebrations can be released..."

"Okay, let's deal with these things separately." Yang Yi pinched his arm, his eyes were red, and he held Zhang Liang's hand: "But brother Yu, what should we do? Do you want someone to accompany you?" Accompany him?"

"Who will accompany me? You or me?" Zhang Liang asked.

Yang Yi scratched his hair hard, and got angry: "It's good if I can do what you just explained. If I want to persuade Brother Yu, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and cry by myself."

Zhang Liang glanced at Yang Yi, turned his face away, his eyes were wet: "Me too, I can't do it either." He threw the burnt cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it heavily with his shoes, and pressed Yang Yi. Yi's shoulder: "Let's help Brother Yu get these things done first, and then talk about it. Brother Yu, he needs time to slow down."

After the two of them finished speaking, they left the hospital in a hurry, and went to deal with the things they had to do. The rest of them were still standing outside the ward and waiting.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Long Tianyu finally opened the door and walked out of the ward.Without any expression on his face, he stood at the door and said to the nurse in the corridor, "It's all right."

After waiting for the doctors to confirm the time and cause of his mother's death again, he quietly watched the nurses carefully lift his mother off the hospital bed, put her on the trolley, covered her body with a white cloth, and then Pushed out of the ward.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word, only nodded or frowned slightly at the doctor's explanation occasionally, and when the nurse was carrying the mother, he stepped forward to straighten the mother's crumpled clothes with his own hands.

For the whole day after that, he didn't show any sadness anymore, he just lowered his head and calmly dealt with the people who came to the hospital to visit, and then he followed Uncle Zhang back home, discussing how to organize his mother's funeral matter.
