The fields of autumn, the village of fortune

On the way to the surgery building next door, Yuki kept bouncing and running in front of Miwako, just like when she came to the hospital in the morning.Miwako thought, that group of cute children should not disappoint Yuki.

On the way to the rooftop, a little girl with big eyes passed by Yuki.

"Excuse me, may I ask... are you... Yuki? Yuki Yukimura?" the little girl asked hesitantly.

"Ah, yes. Excuse me... Oh! You are Airi!" The last sentence was again Yuki's typical loud voice.

"Hello, sister Meihezi!" Seeing Meihezi following behind, the little girl bowed and said hello.

"Well, Airi, hello. I haven't seen you for a while, how are you all? It was rare for Yuki to come to see Yukimura-kun today, and she said she would come to see you to play. Is anyone else on the rooftop?" Miwako smiled asked.

Unexpectedly, Airi lowered her head deeply and did not answer Miwako's question.

"What's wrong with you, Airi? Airi?" Miwako and Yuki asked eagerly.

Airi raised her head slowly, but saw that her big eyes were filled with tears.

Mei Hezi suddenly felt very bad, she knew that something must have happened.Yuki didn't understand, and just asked Airi if something was wrong.

Airi opened her mouth, and just as she was about to utter the first word, she turned into a crying voice: "Xiongzhi..."

"What happened to Xiongzhi?!"

It turned out to be the chubby one who cleverly guessed the relationship between her and Yukimura, and Yukimura still owes him the wisdom to draw a painting!Miwako felt a "buzz" in her head exploded.

Airi also burst into tears with a "wow":

"Xiong Zhi, today's noon..."

Airi cried so hard that she couldn't speak anymore, but Miwako had already understood, and felt that all the strength in her body was drained for a moment, and her whole body swayed.

Yuki still couldn't understand, she asked Airi loudly, Airi was crying, shaking her head while wiping her tears.Yuki was helpless, and shook Miwako again, asking for an answer.And Meihezi cast her empty eyes towards the end of the corridor, and gradually, the sockets of her eyes turned red.

"Yuki, shall we go and see Xiongzhi?" Miwako asked softly, as if she was asking Yuki, but also herself.Miwako has an urge to take Yuki and leave here immediately, just run away.

However, looking at Airi who was blushing from crying, and Yuki who was blushing anxiously asking questions, Miwako felt that she could clearly see Yugi's shy and flushed face after being praised for being smart at that time.

"Okay, okay, let's go then! What happened to Xiongzhi? Why didn't you answer me."

How should I answer... how should I answer?

Follow Airi to the second cardiovascular department on the fifth floor. There are many patients and family members on both sides of the corridor. This corridor happens to be on the backside, and it is dark, so a few cold light lights are turned on.At the corner at the end of the corridor, two nurses are pushing a narrow hospital bed cart, passing the boundary between sunlight and shadow.A woman who seemed to have been drained of all her strength was pulling off the side rails of the hospital bed cart, and staggered forward.A man in an old suit beside her supported her, trembling herself, taking a deep breath feebly.

"Aunt Bentang...Xiong Zhi..." Airi whispered, but didn't step forward.

Miwako's heart twitched, this was the woman whose original name was Asano Jyri, but later happily changed her name to Hondo Jyuri.Her permed hair has obviously not been done for a long time, so that the curls are all in different directions.And the bulge under the white sheet, which is short and small, is Hontang Xiongzhi, who used to be smug.All the laughter and happiness of the Bentang family probably left with Xiong Zhi.

"Then... is it Xiongzhi, sister Miwako?" Yuki asked tentatively, she already had a feeling about death.

"Yeah." Miwako nodded.

"Xiongzhi...has he gone to heaven?"

Meihezi was taken aback. In the face of the real death, she couldn't imagine that there is another beautiful and hopeful expression for this cruel word.

"Has he turned into an angel now?" Yuki asked, pulling Miwako's hand and raising her head.

"I think, yes."

Miwako didn't dare to blink, but tears still rolled out of her overwhelmed eyes.Yuki looked at the tears running down Miwako's cheeks, she grabbed Miwako's skirt and buried her face in Miwako's arms.

"Can I take you home, Yuki?" Miwako asked softly.

"Hmm." A muffled voice with a crying voice came from under the clothes.Miwako felt the wetness in her arms becoming more and more obvious.

On the bus back, Yuki sat on Miwako's lap, looking out the window without saying a word.

Miwako let out a long sigh.Thinking about it now, Yukimura's mother was right. The hospital is really a place where children should not go, even if there is no illness or disaster.However, who can be lucky enough not to step into a hospital for half a lifetime?Birth, old age, sickness, death, the joys and sorrows of the world are always staged in this ruthless place.
