CHAPTER XXIV

It was an aunt who opened the door to me, and when she saw me, she was stunned at first, and then asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm Yuan Yi's colleague, and I came to see Yuan Yi. I said with a smile.

Maybe I didn't look like a bad person, but my aunt looked at me a few times and let me in.

As soon as I entered the room, I found that the furnishings of the room were very simple, except for the necessary furniture, there were no superfluous items, the most striking thing was that there were large bookshelves on all four walls, and the bookshelves were full of all kinds of books, I just took a cursory glance and found that most of them were books about Taoism, and the rest were some books on psychology, and some books on geography.

I put down my things and said to my aunt, "Are you Yuan Yi's mother?" ”

The aunt poured me a glass of water and said, "I'm not, I'm a retiree from the agency here, my wife is gone, and my children are not around, and then I received a notice from above asking me to take care of this child, not only me, but also several people, taking turns to take care of him." This kid is quite pathetic. ”

Yuan Yi is already a middle-aged person, almost 40 years old, in front of these aunts, of course, they can also be called children, it turns out that these aunts are the ones arranged by the above to take care of Yuan Yi.

But when my aunt said that Yuan Yi was pitiful, my heart was sad for a while, and I always remembered the way Yuan Yi fell in front of me, so I pointed to the two bedrooms and asked, "Auntie, where is this Yuan Yi?" I want to see her. ”

The aunt pointed to one of them and said, "There is only that room, and the other room is where his daughter lives, and his daughter should come back from school in a while." ”

The heating in the room and the hot water in the cup have successfully dispelled my cold, and I took off my coat while listening to my aunt, but when I heard her say this, I couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, where is Yuanyi's lover?" ”

"Where is there any lover, Xiao Yuan's geological team, running outside all day long, his lover can't stand it, and divorced him a few years ago. Yo, you're his colleague, don't you know about this? "Aunt asked gossipingly.

I was a little cramped and said: "I have only been colleagues with Yuan Yi for more than a month, but the relationship is quite deep, I watched Yuan Yi have an accident, and then I felt very uncomfortable, come and see him." When we were together, he didn't tell me about his family. ”

"Oh, then you have a heart, I've only remembered to come to see him for a month, and now the Taoist people in this world are going to tea and cold, there are not many good young men, go ahead." As she spoke, Auntie sat on the sofa and knitted her sweater.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I was really afraid that this aunt would talk endlessly, and it would be difficult for me to walk, but fortunately, this aunt was still a cool person.

Walking into Yuan Yi's bedroom, I found that the curtains were drawn, dark and dull, and I couldn't see things clearly, so I opened the curtains on my own initiative, and the light from the snowy window was a little dazzling, but it also gave the room a little vitality.

I turned around and looked at Yuan Yi sleeping on the bed deeply, his expression was calm and peaceful, as if he had just fallen asleep, seeing this, my heart was sour, I couldn't help but move a stool, sat down next to Yuan Yi, and said: "Brother Yuan, this is the first time I call you like this, I really want to tell you, when you are awake, you have a proud expression at any time, and you are a very calm person when you are asleep." But I really hope you're awake, and even if you still look like that, I think it's better than it is now. ”

If I say such a thing on weekdays, Yuan Yi will definitely fight-for-tat, or throw a roll of his eyes at me, and then ignore me. But now he couldn't have any response.

My spiritual sense is strong, and I can feel that Yuan Yi is not a soul out of his body, but a soul that is very weak, so weak that it is no longer enough to support him to wake up, and he is so weak that he doesn't know if he has any hope of waking up in this life.

You must know that lying in bed for a long time, people's body functions will gradually decline, no matter how good the care can not stop this, life lies in movement.

After being silent for a while, I felt more and more sad in my heart, after all, if it wasn't for my predicament at that time, Yuan Yi would not have fallen to such a point.

At this time, unconsciously, I had become addicted to smoking, and when I was bored, I couldn't help but want to light a cigarette, I took out a cigarette and lit it, and said to Yuan Yi, who couldn't speak or respond: "Brother Yuan, now my friend is in trouble, and Master will leave for three years." Master once said that my own cause must be repaid by myself, otherwise once the cause and effect are planted, I am afraid that I will owe you in three lifetimes and three lifetimes. Wait, wait for me to finish this matter, I will search for the masters of the medical lineage, and then find a way to cure you. If it really doesn't work, I'll change my life for you! ”

I spit out a puff of smoke, and I don't know why I would say such a thing and change my life against the sky!

But my life was saved by Yuan Yi, what about changing my life against the sky? I am willing to bear the consequences of changing my life against the sky, and even bear the consequences of Yuan Yi together, there are such spells to bear the consequences together, but there are too few people who are willing.

Just when I was smoking a cigarette and thinking nonsense, I heard a movement outside, it seemed that my aunt had gone to open the door, could it be that Yuan Yi's daughter had returned?

I suddenly felt a little nervous in my heart, and I always blamed Yuan Yi for being like this, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the thought of facing Yuan Yi and his daughter.

Sure enough, the voice of talking sounded in the living room, and I heard a girl crying vividly: "Granny Zhang, have you worked hard?" ”

"Hey, what am I working on? Your dad doesn't make a fuss, he just washes the quilt and takes care of feeding something. Isn't there a gay man who does it every day to get up or something? By the way, someone came to see your dad today. ”

"Who?"

"A colleague of your dad's in your dad's room. You're out of school, so I'll go home first. There's something going on at home. ”

"Well, okay, you're busy."

"This kid, what's polite, I'll take care of your father, but the unit has paid you."

At this point, there was no movement outside, and my heart couldn't help beating faster and faster, I heard a footstep slowly walking in, and then stood still in the doorway, I didn't dare to look back.

Just when I was nervous, a hand reached out and snatched my cigarette, and before I could react, the cigarette was trampled on the ground, and then, without stopping for a moment, the figure jumped to the window, closed the curtain with a 'bang', and then turned on the light.

At this time, I raised my head a little stunned, and the first thing that caught my eye was a delicate, somewhat angry face.

I was still organizing my language, and when I was thinking about what to say, the girl had already spoken, speaking quickly and urgently: "I know that you are my dad's colleague, and I thank you for being kind enough to come to see my dad." But don't you know? You can't smoke in front of a sick person! Moreover, my dad used to sleep like to pull the curtains, he slept lightly, and when there was a little movement outside, he had to wake up when the light was brighter, which was my dad's habit. You know? ”

This flurry of words is not polite, but I don't mean to be angry at all, it's really Yuan Yi's daughter, like his father, she doesn't play with her heart, she speaks straightforwardly, and she doesn't even know what to call it euphemistically.

But it can't be denied that this is also a good child, compared to the aunt who looked at her father was so polite, her temperament was so straight, and she was straightforward to the guests who came to the door, it can be seen that her gratitude to that aunt is also sincere.

And people who know gratitude are generally good people, which is something that my parents have taught me since I was a child, because they just don't like to owe others and remember kindness very much.

I don't have a bad impression of this girl, and I even say it's very good.

It's just that under embarrassment, I didn't know what to say for a while, so I lowered my head and held back for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry." ”

But I didn't want to at this time, a cup of hot tea was stuffed in my hand, and then the girl actually smiled and said cheerfully: "It's okay, I was too good just now, scared you, right?" Little uncle? ”

Well, I didn't pay attention to when she went out to make me tea, and I was really not used to the title of little uncle.

The so-called years are not forgiving, and I have become an uncle in other people's mouths?

At this time, the atmosphere was a little silent, I didn't know what to say with the teacup, but I didn't want the girl to care at all, I had already sat next to Yuan Yi, made a quilt for him, put a pillow on him, and then said, "Dad, are you hungry?" The doctor said that you can only eat liquid food, and I will make you some porridge and feed you. Also, Dad, the results of the final preliminary exam are out today, and I am the first in the class again, so you should wake up early, so you can look at my paper and sign it. ”

Hearing this, I clenched the teacup tightly, and felt sad for a while.

But I didn't want the girl to laugh heartily: "But, Dad, it's okay, you wait for me for a few more years, I'm now a sophomore in high school, and I can take the university entrance exam in one year, I will definitely take the best medical university in the country, and I will cure you when the time comes, really, hehehe"

This kid is really strong, my heart is hot, and I suddenly remembered Yuan Yi's lifelong wish, and I couldn't help but burst out of my mouth with a word: "Do you want to learn the Tao?" ”
