Hu Meizi

62.

Sun Du clutched his cell phone, pale and silent in the passenger seat. He looked like a patient whose vitality had been drawn from him since he received the call.

Xie Tang glanced at Sun Du, he knew that Sun Du was feeling nervous, nervous, and scared, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only speed up as much as possible and rush to the hospital faster.

The rain outside the window slapped the window, crackling and mercilessly.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Ren'ai Hospital, Sun Du opened the car door and rushed out without even taking an umbrella. He braved the heavy rain and rushed straight into the hospital, leaving Xie Tang to park the car.

When Sun Du arrived at the door of the ward, Zhao Quan sat on the bench outside with his head down, smoking a cigarette.This floor was cleaned once by Zhao Quan's people, and it was so quiet that the ticking of the medical equipment in the room could even be heard.

"What's wrong with my mother?" Sun Du stepped forward and asked softly.

Zhao Quan seemed to be deaf. He was stunned for a long time before looking up at Sun Du.

"Ah, Sun Du..." Zhao Quan's hands trembled, and all the cigarettes he held fell to the ground, and some burning ash fell on his thighs, burning his suit pants, but he seemed like As if she lost consciousness, she couldn't feel any pain, and there was no reaction, "Qianqian is looking for you...you can go in quickly..."

"What's wrong with my mother?" Sun Du looked at Zhao Quan quietly, and asked again.

Zhao Quan stopped talking, and he lowered his hair in a daze again. A middle-aged man in his 40s huddled decadently on the cold bench in the hospital. He stared at the scattered cigarette butts under the chair, and his whole body was filled with a dead air.

Sun Du pursed his lips and stopped asking, and walked into the ward.

The ward has a lot of space and has a separate bathroom.The walls inside were painted with light blue paint, Wu Moqing was sleeping on a large hospital bed near the window, her eyes were closed, she was not intubated, and she was not wearing an oxygen mask, as if she was resting.A huge instrument on one side made beeping sounds from time to time.

"Mom—" Sun Du sat next to the hospital bed and softly called the half-closed woman on the bed.

Wu Moqing opened her eyes, she looked at Sun Du at the door and smiled.

Unlike her delicate, wanton, and feminine smile in the past, she just slightly bent her eyebrows and eyes, and a few thin wrinkles meandered from the corners of her eyes to her temples. This is her peaceful and gentle side that is rarely shown .

"Coming?" Wu Moqing said.

"You, I just can't worry about you." Wu Moqing grabbed Sun Du's hand who came forward, she looked at Sun Du with piercing eyes, "It's the first time I see you, you are still so young... ... squatting at the door alone...there is so much snow outside, you are not afraid of the cold..."

Wu Moqing's eyes wandered, she thought about how she met Sun Du more than 20 years ago.Such a small, only 8-year-old child... curled up at the gate of the community fearfully, like a kitten that has lost its parents. It can't even meow.

She was drunk at the time, but she was suddenly awakened by the cold wind. Looking at Sun Du, she thought, it's all fate, this is her debt...

Wu Moqing raised her hand and hugged Sun Du's profile.Sun Du leaned forward, he looked at Wu Moqing, and Wu Moqing looked at him.

"It's so fast, you're already this old..." Wu Moqing said with a smile.

Sun Du knew something, he looked at Wu Moqing, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

"Don't be afraid." Wu Moqing stretched out her hand and held Sun Du's wrist again. She looked at Sun Du, her eyes were full of nostalgia, without the sharp eyeliner and exaggerated eye shadow, her eyes were just ordinary Like her mother, full of tenderness like water, "Dudu, don't be afraid. Parting from life and death is natural. I know how many times you can't live...I know how painful and uncomfortable you are...I will I know. I still remember the call you made when you were 21 years old..."

"Dudu, we have all experienced a lot of bad things. I have experienced it, and you have too." Wu Moqing said with a faint smile, "But you have to live, and only by living can you have hope... Do you remember? ?”

"Live on." Wu Moqing said with a smile.

The last time she said this was when Sun Du was 10 years old. She slapped Sun Du hard and smashed the only beautiful glass vase in the house. Du! You remember, I am the murderer who killed your parents and your family!! I am alive and well, why do you die??"

The young Wu Moqing was fiercely gorgeous, and she viciously grabbed the young Sun Du's thin shoulders.She stared at Sun Du, as if wishing to tear off a bite of his flesh, "A trash like me, a villain, and a bitch are all living well! Why are you dying?? Why??"

Sun Du stared blankly at Wu Moqing, as if he had understood Wu Moqing's words, he opened his mouth, and under Wu Moqing's expectant eyes, a small, small squirrel came out of his throat that hadn't uttered a word for a long time. sound. "Mom——" The young Sun Du, like a newly born cub, made a small sound that even he didn't know the meaning of.He raised his head blankly, but saw that Wu Moqing in front of him was already in tears.It was this vague voice that made the young Wu Moqing cry.She hugged the dazed Sun Du tightly, letting tears wash off all the makeup on her face.

27-year-old Wu Moqing hugged 10-year-old Sun Du, holding the only salvation and life-saving straw in her ridiculous and sad life.

"You are also the boss, whether it is Xie Tang, Xie Zhou, or anyone..." Wu Moqing is like every time she entrusts Sun Du, "I have to try it, Dudu, I have to find someone to live with. Forever."

She touched Sun Du's face and looked at him seriously.

Sun Du said yes, he looked at Wu Moqing, this was the first time he answered this question so positively.

After receiving the answer, Wu Moqing withdrew her hand and slowly burst into a satisfied smile.

She patted the back of Sun Du's hand, "Go and call your Uncle Zhao in." As she spoke, she blinked playfully, "Take that matter as a secret between us! Don't tell him! "

She looked at her flat stomach with a calm expression.

Sun Du nodded with a blank face, he didn't know how he got out, and how he called Zhao Quan in.He felt that there were buzzing voices in his ears, and his mind was blank.

Xie Tang sat on the bench in the corridor, looking at Sun Du who was standing at the door of the ward with no expression, and Sun Du also looked at him with no expression.

The corridors of the hospital are covered with square white tiles, which make people's shadows twisted and narrow.

"Go in." Xie Tang calmly said to Sun Du.He has figured out what happened, it's too late to say anything now, he can only face it like this.

Sun Du nodded blankly, turned around as if he had just woken up from a dream, closed the door mechanically and walked in.

Wu Moqing was smiling in the ward, different from her smile to Sun Du, she took Zhao Quan's hand and shook it from time to time.She smiled like sugar like honey, like every woman who fell in love, she looked at Zhao Quan with a love like a galaxy flowing in her eyes.

"...Don't be sad, it's nothing, it's not your fault," Wu Moqing and Zhao Quan clasped their fingers together, it was because Zhao Quan asked his young subordinates for advice to make her happy, "You, it's I usually don’t know how to rest when I’m busy.”

Wu Moqing looked at Zhao Quan, "I need to go out more in the future, I just planted a white magnolia in the yard... It's still a seedling, you need to water and fertilize it more..."

"Next spring, it will bloom!" Wu Moqing smiled, her eyes full of longing, as if she could see the magnolia tree full of trees in the next moment.

Zhao Quan hummed, and lightly brushed the playful hair sticking to Wu Moqing's cheeks behind his ears.Wu Moqing looked at him, the old man in his 40s was still so similar to the one she met in college at the age of 18, as if he had never aged.

He still has the gentle appearance of a gentleman like jade, with calm eyebrows and eyes.He always talks to her in a muffled voice, and usually doesn't talk much, so he just sees her chattering non-stop.When she made trouble for no reason, accusing him of ignoring her and telling him to speak, he smiled helplessly at most and said, how dare you ignore you.

"We should meet sooner in the next life," Wu Moqing said with a smile, but his eyes were covered with water, "Turn around, don't do this next time."

Zhao Quan hummed again. He looked at Wu Moqing on the hospital bed, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

Wu Moqing turned her head and looked at Sun Du who was dazed to the side. His appearance overlapped with his childhood appearance - blank, expressionless, and seldom reacting.I took him to see a doctor before, and the doctor said that he had some kind of stress reaction, and it took a long time, in an autumn when there were no cicadas, he completely recovered.

She still still remembers the first complete sentence that the skinny little Sun Du said to her, "Mom, I want to go out and play."

At that time, there was a piece of golden autumn outside the window, and the leaves were rustling.

Before I knew it, so many years had passed.

Wu Moqing stretched out her other hand and grabbed Sun Du's wrist.

She looked at Sun Du and smiled, and the tears in her eyes flowed quietly.Follow her eyes, slide towards her silk hair, and finally disappear on the pillow.

"Du Du... Mom's Du Du..." Wu Moqing read softly with a smile, and her eyelids became heavy as she read, "Growing up..."

Her voice was as soft as a butterfly fluttering its wings, but it was swallowed between her tongue and teeth in an instant.

As soon as Sun Du loosened his wrist, Wu Moqing closed her eyes with a smile and fell asleep.

She smiled peacefully, holding her beloved husband in her left hand, and her beloved son in her right hand.At the end of her sad and ridiculous life, she had the love and family affection that most women can't get in their mediocre life.

The instrument on one side made a piercing beeping sound, like a forecast, and then all the lines and data dropped suddenly and gently until all of them tended to 0.

"Mom—Mom—Mom—" After five years, Sun Du finally cried again.

His crying was so sharp and terrifying that it came out of the ward and the corridor, causing Xie Tan to open his eyes with closed eyes. He stared at the ward with the half-closed door for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
