Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

The white ceiling.

"Dip, beep, beep..."

There was a beeping sound in my ears.

This is a modern concurrency. Looking at the equipment inside the ward, it is obviously a single room. It can be seen from the variety of equipment that the patients inside belong to the more serious category.

A set of monitoring machines is placed next to it. The patch responsible for monitoring body data is connected to cables of different colors and is attached to Hongchen's body.

Various data are displayed on the monitor, with wavy lines on it.

It refreshed with the fluctuating sound.

From time to time, there is a steady and low beeping sound.

The sound was neither harsh nor slow, indicating that his body was relatively safe.

"Is this Mr. Hongchen from the same bed?" The nurse's gentle voice came to my ears.

Hongchen straightened his confused head and nodded. He seemed a little sleepy.

He replied in a weak and low voice: "Yes."

"I am your responsible nurse, my name is..."

He could hear the nurse's voice, but his thoughts were already elsewhere.

He didn't notice until the nurse left.

It was slightly dark around the hospital bed.

Suddenly the door to the ward opened, and Hongchen turned around to look over, but the blue curtains were closed around the hospital bed, making it impossible to see what was going on outside.

Then the curtain was opened, and light came straight in.

This is a single room in a ward.

A middle-aged woman was busy alone in the ward, with the curtains and windows open.

Then he took the lunch box over, sat by the bed, and looked at the machine carefully.

Then he looked at the situation next to him.

He picked up a long note from the end of the bed.

Look carefully at the items above.

The price is clearly marked behind each item.

It ranges from a few cents to thousands.

This is the cost for these days.

The total adds up to nearly tens of thousands.

"Fortunately, I can repay it." The woman murmured twice, her expression didn't change much, and she casually put the data sheet into her pocket.

Now that he has been able to calculate on his own what can be repaid, the actual amount to be paid is not so exaggerated.

Open the lunch box.

"Son, how did you sleep last night?"

Hongchen turned his head and looked at his mother.

My mother said while still opening the lunch box.

"It's okay, Mom. It just seems like a dream."

"Are you dreaming? How about taking oxygen tonight?"

"Forget it, it's just a dream, Mom, it's not that serious."

"What are you afraid of? Oxygen is not expensive."

“It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not, I still have the strength to breathe on my own.

When I take in too much oxygen, I feel like my breathing becomes tired, which is weird. "

"Okay, okay, let's get something to eat."

The middle-aged woman said that the lunch box had been opened, and there was nothing good in it.

Even if you want to eat something good, you can't eat it. There is only a bowl of porridge, but this bowl of porridge exudes a faint smell of fish.

You can see that there is some fish and shrimp in the porridge.

There is also a bowl of fresh and sweet fish soup underneath.

The smell of carp.

"I will do it myself."

"Okay, do it yourself, be careful of getting burned."

As she spoke, she handed over the spoon and bowl.

Hongchen picked up the bowl and spoon, and you could see that there were purple holes on the back of his hand, and his whole hand became a little dry.

There are indwelling needles on the backs of both hands and one on the arm.

Avoid having to reintubate the blood vessels for each infusion.

Looking at her son's withered and wrinkled hands, the old woman turned her head away silently, stood up, walked a few steps and then came back.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious. It feels much better to eat."

After eating, while the woman was cleaning up, the door was opened.

A doctor in a white coat, followed by a young intern, came in and looked at Hongchen and smiled.

After asking some questions and recording them in a book, he walked out and shouted at the woman at the door.

"Come family, I need your help here."

Mother nodded, put the packed lunch box on the bedside table, wiped her hands and walked out.

Hongchen just lay on the bed a little weakly.

This is a separate ward, and the corridor outside is not very noisy.

But he could hear the sound outside the door. It was not loud, but he heard it very clearly.

Is the soundproofing in the hospital so bad?

"Family members, do you want to consider taking her back? It's too expensive to stay here every day. Now we can almost go home.

At this time, patients want to stay at home, which is also a good thing for the patient's mentality. "

"I know all about doctors, but my son..."

"Hey, let him go home and stay for a while. It's so uncomfortable to be in this hospital, don't you think so?"

"Okay, just... go back."

"No problem, you can go through the discharge procedures later. Don't worry about that during this period. Just take the medicine."

Take him to rest and take him out to play if he wants to, but don’t go too far.

There is nothing to be strict about eating. It is also a good thing to eat some good supplements to supplement nutrition.

Of course, you don’t want it to be too greasy, too spicy, or too exciting. "

The doctor in front of him has tried his best to express his meaning in euphemism.

The mother just nodded, and the sadness on her face was not too obvious.

These are all established facts, and I have already been sad enough.

Sighing, he opened the door and walked in with a calm expression on his face.

"Mom, are you going back?"

"Huh? Well, I'm going home."

A smile appeared on Hongchen's face: "Are you leaving today?"

Seeing this smile, my mother couldn't hold it in any longer. She suppressed her voice and said with a trembling voice: "Well... yes, Mom, Mom is going to go through the hospitalization procedures. You can rest for a while."

With that said, he quickly opened the door and ran out.

I could hear slight sobbing sounds coming all the way.

"When did my ears become so sharp?" Facing the impending death, Hongchen felt a little relieved.

He felt like he wasn't that tired, and the pain in his body seemed to have lessened, and he didn't know why.

After a while, a nurse came in and started cleaning the monitor on him.

By the way, he took off the indwelling needles from his hands.

After the nurse left, Hongchen, who seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, left the bed and came to the window, looking at the high-rise buildings and busy traffic outside.

"Let's go see the sea in a few days." He said to himself.

Then I felt physically weak again.

"It's the last few days. Let's take a moment to reflect on our past. I'm still holding on."

Not knowing who he was talking to, he patted his body and started to pack it up.

After a while, the door was pushed open.

"Why did you pack it up yourself? Go up and have a rest. Mom is here."

"Oh, it's okay, it will get rusty if you don't move."

"That's okay. Then you go and pack the chargers and other things in the cabinet. Here comes the mother."

Hongchen nodded and didn't force it.

He quickly changed out of his hospital gown and put on his normal clothes that he had not seen for a long time. He came to the parking lot and sat in the passenger seat.

"Is there anything you want to travel to? We're all out anyway, so let's find a place to play."

"I want to go to the beach, Mom."

"seaside?"

"Yes, I dreamed last night that I was riding a boat on the sea, that kind of ancient sailboat."

"Oh, then go and book tickets tonight. Unfortunately, your dad is busy and Xiaohong goes to school again."

"It's okay, let me see where there is such an ancient ship project on the beach."

Talking and laughing, we returned home.

Looking at his room, Hongchen stood there and was suddenly stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to teleport in."

"Huh?" Mother looked confused.

"What are you talking about, silly kid? Mom is going to cook. Let's see which beach we want to go to."

Hongchen nodded, then sat on the sofa and picked up his phone.

"It's been such a long time."

I looked at my phone in confusion, what were I doing?

Landlord fight?

Why are you thinking about fighting landlords?

He shook his head and stood up, walking towards his room.

I saw the hairtail screen, gaming chair, speakers, and console on my desk.

The Yusanjia next to it.

He picked up the red and blue machine and pressed the button on it, looking at the small house that appeared on the screen.

"I really miss it."

Do you miss something you just played a few days ago?

After putting the machine back in, Hongchen lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

It feels weird.

Alas, people are about to die, how weird can it be?

…

After eating and sleeping, we bought a flight ticket. Early the next morning, we boarded a plane with my mother and headed to a coastal city. After a connecting flight, we took a car and booked a hotel.

As night approached, the sun was about to set, and he finally saw the beach and the vast sea.

"The sun has set? How interesting."

The children passing by gave the older brother a strange look.

Crazy.

The mother next to him also glanced at him and patted him: "What are you talking about, silly kid?"

You will be surprised when the sun sets.

"It's nothing, it's rare to come out."

In addition to tourists, you can also see a retro man-made ancient port far away on the beach.

There are three different ancient sailing ships parked at the port, which seem to be 1:1 replicas, but they have been closed.

"Look, that's the sailboat you were talking about yesterday."

What the mother was referring to was a modern sailboat, a small one-person sailboat. A male figure was controlling the sailboat and gliding along the waves on the distant sea.

"That's what I was talking about yesterday, Mom, look over there." Hongchen pointed to the ancient sailing boat play area in the distance.

"Oh, you mean the ancient kind."

Hongchen swam in the sea water for a while, and when it was getting dark, he went to the hotel with his mother.

After dinner at the hotel, I returned to my room alone and looked at the night view of the seaside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Slowly turning dark, that's what it feels like."

As he spoke, he touched his bald head and took off the hat he had been wearing when he returned to the room.

Day 2.

Hongchen and his mother bought tickets and entered the three ancient sailing ships.

A tour guide is telling.

"This kind of sailboat is from ancient China. Compared with sailboats from other countries at that time, Chinese sailboats have a special feature, that is, the sails use side-by-side bamboo curtains that can be dropped."

While talking, he also demonstrated it under an ancient Chinese sailboat. It was not a canvas, but a bamboo curtain.

Hongchen also felt very strange and kept checking it.

Is this thing bamboo?

They then went to another sailing ship.

This kind is exactly the same as the foreign sailing boats seen in movies.

"This is the sailing ship used in ancient times abroad."

Hongchen walked around the boat to take a look.

"Mom, look, he tied the knot wrong. This kind of knot should not be used. He should tie it like this so that it can be easily retrieved and stronger at sea."

Listening to her son's story, the mother looked at him with strange eyes.

Then I felt a little bit sad, didn’t I even know my son’s hobbies?

"Since when did you like this kind of thing?"

But I'm surprised that my son didn't seem to have bought a model or book similar to a sailboat.

I've never seen him show interest in this area.

"No, I just liked it recently." Hongchen said perfunctorily.

When he came to the bow of the ship and looked at the seaside, he suddenly raised his hand, and then came to the ship's deck and patted the mast.

He looked at the poop and then at the forecastle.

This ship does not have a bow but a mast extending straight out.

"It would be nice if it had a bird head." He said inexplicably.

They have been traveling around various places this month, and it seems that Hongchen's complexion is getting better and better.

But only he knew that this was a bit like returning to the past. Since he was only accompanied by his mother, his father also put down what he was doing and followed him. Later, even my sister took leave from school and came back.

After traveling for a while, Hongchen returned home and sat on the sofa.

The family was busy in the kitchen, and only my sister was sitting on the sofa, turning her head to look at him from time to time.

"Why are you looking at me for nothing? Are you crazy?"

"What kind of lunatic? Don't worry about me. I can watch whatever I want. If you can, you can poke my eyes out." His sister said unceremoniously.

Looking at his sister, Hongchen suddenly sat on the sofa and stuck out her butt.

"Let me fart for you to smell."

"Crazy, crazy!" After scolding his sister twice, he sat on the sofa again.

Finally, I kept paying attention to him with my peripheral vision from time to time.

Hongchen stood up, his eyes seemed to be clear again, and he walked around the living room.

I looked at the balcony and fiddled with the flowers on both sides of the balcony from time to time.

After picking up the watering can and sprinkling water, he got into the kitchen and watched his parents busy, laughing and chatting for a while.

I opened the refrigerator and didn't take anything from it, I just opened it and took a look.

After looking at the shoe cabinet at the door, he came to the dining table and sat down.

Then he stood up again, went to the toilet outside the room next to his, and inexplicably turned on the rain sprinkler, and then turned it off again.

Pressed the toilet to flush.

He couldn't help but smile on his face.

I walked into my room, looked at the game consoles I bought after work, turned on my computer, and canceled the password.

I looked at the model and played with it a few times.

He entered his parents' room again, walked around and turned on the lights before running out.

Then he looked at his sister's room next to him, opened the door and walked in.

"What are you doing?" asked his sister, who had been observing him.

"Your room is so messy. You don't look like a girl at all. It's so embarrassing!"

"I want you to take care of it? I want you to take care of it! Your room is not very messy, how can you have the nerve to tell me about it?"

"Are you a girl competing with me?" He said and closed the door directly.

He walked around the living room again and sat on the sofa.

I picked up a blanket and covered myself with it, feeling a little cold.

My sister watched TV from time to time, checked her cell phone from time to time, and sat tossing and turning.

Looking at it from the corner of my eye.

Seeing his brother sitting on the sofa, his eyes had begun to narrow slightly.

The complexion on his face became darker and darker, quickly turning pale, and his lips began to turn purple.

Seeing this situation, his sister, who had been looking at him, couldn't hold it in any longer, and there was a cry in her voice.

Shouted: "Mom! Dad! Come on!"

It was obviously expected a long time ago.

But when this scene comes, no one can hold on.

The last thing I heard was the anxious footsteps and yelling of my parents.

The entire scene begins to fall apart.

Alka stood watching the scene, looking at the family members gathered around what was once her body.

Looking at the room where I have lived since childhood.

Standing on the balcony.

The golden color outside began to dissipate.

The image of the entire house began to shatter, turning into something like fly ash and dissipating.

Something that had been buried in my heart emerged.

Regret, deep regret and longing.

Alka's figure disappeared, and Hongchen, who was lying on the sofa and had lost his life, stood up again.

The images of my parents and sister disappeared.

The surroundings turned into boundless blue sea and sky.

The sky is an unchanging sun and the only white clouds that move.

The sound of waves came.

Melodious singing could still be heard in his ears, and Alka was already standing on the deck of Dawn Eagle.

Xia Daiti and others appeared.

Lucilia sat on his shoulder, and Xia Detti came to his side and reached out to hold his arm.

The crystal dragon glided across the sky and landed on the deck. Due to its body, its tail hung down on the sea.

Pororo jumped from the deck.

Simon ran out of the cabin.

I smelled the aroma of food and heard the melodious singing voice.

Then the girls were playing around, jumping up and down along the vines that allowed them to move freely.

The deep regret faded away.

More things poured in, filling the void left when the regret faded.

Alka just stood on the deck and looked into the distance.

"There is no more regret, Hongchen. At least this time I died at home, surrounded by my family, without regrets. I didn't die in a daze."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and squeezed it hard.

The illusion dissipated.
