night escape

Autumn has come.

Xie Li was standing on the balcony in a loose sweater and trousers, and slippers. The sun shone on his palms, which soon became warm.A gust of cool wind brushed his hair and eyelashes, he closed his eyes and frowned slightly, feeling the wind pass by his skin.The street in the morning is very quiet, the trees are rustled by the wind and countless leaves are dropped, and pedestrians will make a "rustle" sound when they step on it.

These voices that no one would pay attention to are so vivid to Xie Li's ears, which is proof of his participation in the world.

"Ah...ow!" A child's sneeze sounded from behind.

Xie Li, who was broken from his contemplation, suddenly opened his eyes, but he didn't turn his head, but turned his back to the child, "Jiang Heng, how many times have I told you that you will catch a cold when you wake up in the morning, so hurry up and get dressed."

In front of Jiang Heng, Xie Li had a serious look most of the time, which caused the child to be somewhat afraid of Xie Li, and the drowsiness that hadn't woken up was instantly dispelled by Xie Li's sneering words.

"Yes! Uncle..." The little boy tremblingly finished his answer, and immediately rushed back to the room to add clothes.

The retractable blind stick was stretched out, and he tapped on the wooden board of the door frame twice, "Are you ready? It's agreed to go to the hospital to see my mother today, and I can't be late."

"%@#￥...!" Jiang Heng stuffed the toast into his mouth and muttered back.

But Xie Li seemed to understand, and said lightly: "Then let's go."

The child's eyes widened suddenly, and he took a sip of water and finally swallowed the bread. He hurried to the door, put on the shoes that made farting noises, and followed in small steps, pulling Xie Li's sleeves.

Jiang Qiu's illness didn't get better before, and Xie Li was really worried. Under his strong request, Jiang Qiu agreed to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Unexpectedly, he was asked to stay in the hospital for various types of examinations as soon as he arrived at the hospital a few days ago.Today is her fourth day in the hospital, Xie Li guessed that the test results should come out today.

During the few days when Jiang Qiu was hospitalized, Feng Lan took the time to deliver meals and take care of her.Xie Li can't help much, so he can only take care of Jiang Heng at home. Fortunately, the part-time haunted house is not far from Jiang Heng's kindergarten. Eat something to get by.

He really doesn't know how to take care of children, Xie Li thought.

I hope Jiang Qiu will get well soon and go home to bring her little devil.

If there is no accident, the test result is good, then Jiang Qiu can be discharged from the hospital today, but if...

Xie Li gripped his blind stick tightly and went forward to probe the ground. Every step he took was extremely apprehensive, as if as long as he walked slowly, the time to know the result would be later, and Jiang Qiu would be healthier for a longer time.

And Jiang Heng, who is completely different from Xie Li, knows nothing about his mother's condition. He thinks that Jiang Qiu just went to the hospital for a few days, and he can pick up his mother today, so his steps are brisk, and every step he takes After jumping three times, the sound of shoes farting came from behind Xie Li.

Xie Li frowned slightly, he was a little irritable, but he didn't say anything to the child.

Maybe it's a good thing that he doesn't understand anything, so he doesn't have to rush to grow up.

The two took a taxi to the hospital, hired a nurse to help guide them to the inpatient department, and soon found Jiang Qiu's ward.

There was a woman's conversation in the ward, Xie Li pulled Jiang Heng to stop in front of the ward door, his brows had not been relaxed since before going out.

Jiang Heng tugged at his uncle's sleeve and asked naively, "Why doesn't uncle go in?"

Xie Li put an index finger on his lips and made a silence gesture: "Don't talk yet, let's wait."

In the ward, Feng Lan was sobbing and talking to Jiang Qiu. She almost suffocated her breath, and her voice was so small that only Jiang Qiu could hear: "Ah Qiu...how did you get this disease? You are like this... What do you want Jiang Heng to do? What do you want me to do? The doctor said that now...there is no cure..."

After Feng Lan finished speaking, a long series of sobbing sounded behind her.

Jiang Qiu also broke down in tears, she said with difficulty: "Sister Lan...I don't want to...Maybe this is fate, I, Jiang Qiu, was born with a bad fate..."

Feng Lan held back for a long time and finally cried out with a "woo". She couldn't help hugging the weak Jiang Qiu: "What are you talking about! Don't say it, don't say it..."

Jiang Qiu leaned her head on Feng Lan's shoulder, a tear rolled down her cheek: "Sister Lan, you are my best friend, best sister, I have one thing I want to ask you to help..."

Feng Lan let go of the person, and said sharply: "Isn't it enough for me to help you? You don't need this expression...you are still alive now!"

Jiang Qiu closed his eyes, tears still couldn't stop overflowing from his eyelids, "I think...after I leave...please help me raise Xiaoheng and Ah Li..."

"I can't hide my illness. Ah Li is very smart and will find out sooner or later... And I don't plan to treat it anymore. I will save the money for the treatment and leave it to you. I beg you, Sister Lan... "

Jiang Qiu climbed out of the hospital bed and knelt down on the ground: "I beg you, Sister Lan, help me raise them... I'm most worried about the two of them... Please..."

With trembling hands, Feng Lan helped Jiang Qiu up, "You! Don't say such things again, aren't you still fine now? Don't say it, don't say it..."

"Sister Lan, I beg you...I have saved five to sixty thousand yuan in savings over the years, and I will hand over the money to you after I leave. I beg you to help me raise them, at least let Jiang Heng finish elementary school..."

"A Li is very sensible, he can also make money by himself to lighten your burden..."

"I beg you……"

Jiang Qiu cried so much that her whole face was covered with tears. Her illness had been foreshadowed for a long time, but she didn't pay attention to it before, thinking it was a minor problem, so she didn't see the doctor.During the past few days in the hospital, she lost a lot of weight, and her whole face looked pale and bloodless, only her eyes were red from crying, which was heartbreakingly red.

"Okay...I promise you..."

Hearing this, Xie Li took Jiang Heng's hand and turned around. His fine hair covered his deeply furrowed brows, but highlighted his red eyes even more.He pursed his lips and said nothing, holding Jiang Heng's hand trembling slightly.

Jiang Heng looked at his young uncle in bewilderment, and asked, "What's wrong with uncle? You don't want to see mom anymore?"

Xie Li took a deep breath before slowly opening his mouth: "Jiang Heng, take me to the front desk to find a nurse, we need to see a doctor first."

Jiang Heng stood in the corner outside the doctor's office, like someone who was punished.He poked his head inside, peeked a few times, and quickly retracted his neck.Uncle said he couldn't go in, so he stood obediently at the door.

The child didn't think much about it, he just wanted to see his mother, and waited obediently for his uncle to see his mother after seeing the doctor.

The sweat from his palms soaked his blind stick, Xie Li asked in disbelief, "Lung cancer?"

"Yes, the patient has been unwell for a long time, why didn't your family members pay attention? Forget it, if she deliberately concealed her condition, you, a blind person, would not be able to notice it. It has begun to spread... Our side advises patients to go home..."

When he heard the word "advanced stage", Xie Li's ears buzzed, and his whole body seemed to sink into a pool of water, suffocating to death, he could no longer listen to anything the doctor said, only felt the whole body The body is sinking.

Xie Li opened his mouth tremblingly, almost begging: "Doctor, how much does my sister need to be cured? She is my own sister, she... absolutely nothing will happen..."

"Treatment is not recommended..."

"Take her home..."

"If you are optimistic, there is still half a year..."

After sitting for a full 5 minutes, Xie Li came out of the doctor's office with a face ashamed.His mind was blank, but he had to sort out his emotions to face the relatives he was about to see. He relaxed his facial muscles as much as possible, hoping not to look too sad.It was his relatives who got the death notice, and he was helpless, he hated himself for being useless, and wished he could get sick for Jiang Qiu...

Obviously what Jiang Heng needs most is her, and what he needs most is also her.

Xie Li tapped on his guide stick, walked to the door with heavy steps, a small ball of warmth suddenly entered into the palm of his empty hand.

The child asked cautiously: "Uncle...can we go see mother?"

Probably because Jiang Heng has grown a little taller this summer, Xie Li can touch his little head now without bending down.He patted the child's round head habitually, and said softly, "Well, let's pick up Mommy and go home."
