Jiang Ciru paused, then turned around and asked, "Ask for leave? What's the matter?"

"I just heard A Ling mention that her family members are sick and have taken three days off." Cheng Sihe sighed, "It's very difficult for this girl to have such a thing happen at the very moment of the finals."

"Oh." Jiang Ciru said.

Shi Wei sat outside the ward for a whole day, she didn't enter the door, she didn't speak, she just watched the other family members come and go silently, the hospital is a place where you can see all kinds of life, some families are harmonious and beautiful, relatives and friends come and go Visiting, fruit baskets are placed all over the floor.

Some people are alone, only the nurses are busy.

Noisy sounds filled the ears, and the nasal cavity was filled with the smell of disinfectant, food, and human body odor, which mixed together to make people dizzy.

She occasionally got up and looked through the door, looking at the man she had never known since she was a child, like a frail old man, lying quietly under the thin quilt, with almost no curve in his body.

Only at noon and evening, when the nurse came to deliver his meals, could he be seen sitting up.

Shi Wei didn't talk to him, but the nurse brought him some fruits, and then left the hospital in the evening, walking aimlessly along the road that he had traveled hundreds of times.

This small town is wet all the year round, and the air is full of salty smell. Although you can't see the waves, you can always hear the sound of the rushing tide, and there are old trees growing on the roadside. There was a rustling sound, and a few withered leaves fell.

Walking along this downhill road, you can walk to the beach. When I was a child, I always heard some legends. It is said that in the evening when the weather is fine, this coast will light up a large dreamy fluorescent light.

Lovers who can see the fluorescent sea together will never be separated for the rest of their lives.

But the legend is of course a legend, Shi Wei has been here hundreds of times, but never saw a fluorescent light, this is just an ordinary beach.

Shi Wei didn't continue to walk down, but turned a corner, and when she raised her head again, her heart beat stopped a few times involuntarily.

A detached house built on the side of the road, the walls are painted beige. After years of wind and rain, the wall on one side is already very mottled. Under the gloomy sky, there are gray-black tiles, reflecting the autumn It was even more bleak.

Shi Wei stood by the side of the road looking at it for a long time, then walked over slowly, and pushed the iron gate outside the courtyard with his hand.

The big iron lock on the door was gone, and the door was pushed open with a squeak, and Shiwei took a few steps back in fright. She quickly looked at the upstairs window, and it was still pitch black inside, as if there was no one there.

But the curtain was half drawn.

Shi Wei stared at the window for a long time, finally closed the door, turned and left with a heavy black bag on his back.

Scary.

Shi Wei didn't go home, but stayed in the hotel for one night, put down his luggage, and returned to the hospital the next morning.

When she passed by the breakfast shop at the door, she hesitated for a moment, bought a bag of wontons and a bowl of porridge, and held them in her hand.

The hospital was still messy and noisy as usual, everyone in the corridor was in a hurry, people collided with each other from time to time, Shi Wei had to walk close to the wall to avoid the commotion.

Since this morning, she has felt that something is wrong, as if someone is following her, but every time she looks back, she can't see anything.

What a strange thing, Shi Wei thought to himself, and then went to the door of the ward familiarly, and was about to look inside, but suddenly someone grabbed his clothes and dragged him aside.

Shi Wei was unprepared, and almost fell for a moment, but only stood firm by holding on to the wall.

"Okay, how dare you show up, you little bastard?" It was a thick-backed woman who spoke, her shoulders were as thick as her waist, but she was a whole head shorter than she was at the time. She stretched out her fat fingers, and she was only a centimeter away. Shi Wei's face.

Behind the woman stood some men and women, two middle-aged men and another woman, and two young men, a man and a woman.

They were all people Shi Wei couldn't be more familiar with.

"Your father has been sick for so many days, but we can't even find your contact information. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" The woman yelled, causing everyone in the ward to come out and watch the fun.

Shi Wei's clothes were almost torn out, she frowned and looked at those people, feeling angry from the bottom of her heart.

"People who don't know think that my brother is lonely, and we brothers and sisters will have to take care of him when he is about to die. I raised you to be a white-eyed wolf?" My head hurts more and more.

"Don't point at me." Shi Wei whispered, hitting her hand off.

"Are you still in a good mood?" The woman became even more furious, and began to call out to the bystanders, "Come and see, what sin did our ancestors do to raise such a thing, only caring about enjoying ourselves outside, having money to go abroad but no money to go home Elderly son. Why, I am your elder, and I can't even say a few words about you, you are so majestic!"

"Sister, they are all from my own family, don't make things big..." The middle-aged man behind came up to persuade him, but was kicked away by the woman.

"Fuck off, you're partial to her, and you don't even look at what kind of good niece you are, just like her mother, she's an irresistible bitch..."

"What did you say?" Shi Wei who had been silent for a while suddenly spoke, and she suddenly stood upright and approached the woman.

The woman had to look up to see her face.

"I'm like you and your mother, a heartless white-eyed wolf!" the woman said angrily with her hands on her hips.

This kind of farce can happen every day in the hospital. Most people have long been used to it and go about their own business after just a glance or two, but there are also some people who stand around and watch.

"My mother is a white-eyed wolf? Then what is he?" Shi Wei pointed to the ward, "Has he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father? My mother is gone, but she has gone well. I hope she never comes back. Such a person does not deserve a wife and children at all!"

"You!" The woman rushed up to make a move, but was stopped by the man behind.

"Wei Wei, you go first, your aunt has a temper, wait for her to calm down." The man stopped in front of the woman with a wry smile, separating the two of them.

"Uncle, Aunt, you don't need to worry about it." Shi Wei stood motionless, she looked down at the woman, "Today I will speak clearly, so that some people will not be confused and always think that they are victims."

"When I was young, I had no food, but he drank outside every day. The little money I earned at work was spent on drinking. I even stole the tuition fees from him. I didn't buy rice at home. Is this called supporting me?" , does your family raise children like this?" Shi Wei didn't raise her voice on purpose, but her words could be heard very clearly in the noisy corridor.

"When I was young, I was so hungry that I went to my uncle's house to beg for food every day. Didn't you miss it? The neighbors in the neighborhood don't know, and now they come here to pretend to be blind. Do you think it's appropriate?" Shi slightly sneered, "He never raised me, I Why take care of him?"

"Then he is also your father!" The woman almost jumped up.

"He's not." Shi Wei was decisive, her eyes became colder, "I'm an orphan, I don't have a father."

The woman opened her eyes wide, trembling with anger, suddenly pushed the man away, grabbed Shi Wei's clothes and was about to make a move, but was blocked by a soft figure.

Shi Wei didn't react, she only saw a figure appearing in front of her, pushing herself against the wall, then the figure let out a soft moan, staggered and fell towards her.

Shi Wei reached out subconsciously, grabbed her arm, and held her in her arms.

"Jiang, Teacher Jiang..." After seeing the man's face clearly, she murmured in disbelief, then immediately stretched out her hand, and pushed the woman who was about to pounce on her hard.

For a moment, she had the illusion that she was dreaming.

The woman screamed and almost fell down, but thanks to the pads made by the people behind, she didn't fall down.

Jiang Ciru didn't stay for long, she had already pushed Shi Wei away and turned around to stand firm, completely blocking Shi Wei behind her.

"Who are you?" Seeing that she had called the wrong person, the woman extinguished her arrogance a little, but her voice remained undiminished, and she yelled with her hands on her hips, "This is our family matter, and I paid for the medical expenses for her. I'll teach the younger generation a lesson, and it's not up to outsiders to take care of me!"

"If you keep arguing, I'll call the police." Jiang Ciru said, she was wearing a mask, her eyes were cold, and she was standing in front of Shi Wei in a gray windbreaker, out of tune with the surrounding environment, "I'm not from your family."

Not knowing whether she was afraid of making a big fuss or was intimidated by Jiang Ciru's aura, the woman took a step back.

"Then get out of the way, what does it have to do with you!" the woman muttered.

Shi Wei wanted to go forward, but Jiang Ciru held her hand and was trapped behind her, unable to move.

"Either shut up now and I'll pay you the medical expenses, or you'll never get the money for the rest of your life." Jiang Ciru said softly, her tone was flat, but it carried a lot of weight in people's ears.

"You figure it out, it's her father inside, and she's obliged to take care of her until the end of her life, and now she still wants to renege on her debt!" The woman wanted to jump up again, but was forcibly held down by the man behind.

"Sister! Calm down!" The man was in a hurry, and finally yelled to get him off.

There was a moment of silence in the hallway.

"She has an obligation, but she is still a fresh graduate, how do you ask her to get the money out." Jiang Ciru said, "Go and find me with all the payment vouchers, don't try to play tricks."

The woman froze and looked back at her family.

Shi Wei was in a hurry, and hurried to grab Jiang Ciru's hand, but was stopped by her eyes.

Jiang Ciru's gaze fell on her hand, and Shi Wei involuntarily let go.

"Be obedient." Jiang Ciru said in a low voice.

"I'll only stay until one o'clock in the afternoon." Jiang Ciru raised his hand and glanced at the expensive watch on his hand.

Hearing this, the woman struggled for a while, then immediately turned around, dragged her family and ran away without a trace.

The whole farce happened at the door of the ward, but the people in the ward did not make a sound, Shi Wei looked in the door, the bed was completely covered by the quilt, the man inside the quilt seemed to be shaking, his head was not exposed, and he was silent No interest.

Shi Wei opened the door and walked in.

----

At two o'clock in the afternoon, this unimaginable thing finally came to an end. Shi Wei walked out of the hospital under the sun, and the old streets were illuminated by warm light.

Time seemed to drift back many years ago, and she was in a familiar scene, like a dialogue between time and space, which made people trance.

"Teacher Jiang, you..." Shi Wei said, she couldn't help but look at the woman beside her. The woman was wearing sunglasses and her windbreaker was blown up by the wind, revealing her slender legs.

She had a lot of questions to ask, but in the end she held back and held back, and only said: "Are you hurt?"

The scene just now was so chaotic, she almost forgot that Jiang Ciru stopped her with a slap.

Jiang Ciru frowned, and stepped aside, "I'm not made of paper, I'll get hurt if I touch it."

Shi Wei's eyes darkened, but in her impression, Jiang Ciru was pure and innocent, and when was he beaten.

This time, because of her, he was bankrupt and suffered a disaster.

"I'm sorry, I'll give you the money." Shi Wei said in a low voice, "Actually, you don't have to..."

"You have to know who you will be in the future. Although you have been wronged, if this kind of thing is not handled well, there will be troubles." Jiang Ciru raised his leg and stepped over a pile of fallen leaves.

"In the future, you have to take care of it yourself." Jiang Ciru said again.

"I know, I have a solution." Shi Wei said softly.

Jiang Ciru nodded, and did not speak again. The two walked slowly along the road. Maybe both of them remembered what happened before, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

In the end, Shi Wei broke the silence, and she mustered up the courage to ask: "Mr. Jiang, why are you coming back this time..."

Jiang Ciru paused, and then replied flatly: "A friend wants to buy the old house here, I'll come back and clean it up."

Shi Wei wanted to ask her how she packed up and went to the hospital, but held back and didn't open her mouth.

Some things are better left unasked.
